All 640 acres of Section 6 were patented to James Findlay on 15 Nov 1807 when the land was still part of Butler County. Findlay sold the west 320 acres to M. Morningstar on 7 Aug 1811 for $3200 - see 1837 plat map. This Michael Morningstar is believed to be the John George Michael Morningstar who is buried in the cemetery in 1841. Warren County probate records [Box 17] shows that his estate was entered into probate on 8 Jun 1844. There was supposed to be a will that could not be found, resulting in the estate ending up in court. Records in the Warren County Recorders office list the transfer of the 320 acre property from the estate of John George Michael Morningstar to sons John, Jacob and Michael Morningstar on 11 Oct 1847 [Vol 28:352] as well as 4 Sheriff sale entries on 12 Jan 1864 [Vol 41:366] from the estate, all to Michael V. Poast.

Location: Wooded area on privately owned 23.7 acre parcel at 7648 Franklin-Madison Road (TR T-0004) about 1/2 mile south of Morningstar Road (TR T-0106). The cemetery is about 100 feet due east of the junction with Thomas Road.
