Burrows Cemetery


BURROWS CEMETERY

This cemetery is located on FM 1428 just inside the Conner Community in Madison County, turn west on Boyd Rd also called County Road 119. The cemetery is about 1/2 mile down this dirt road on the south side and back into a pasture about 1/2 mile to the right. The property is closed off by a cattle gate with a chain and lock on it, but just wrapped around. There is a phone number for the key posted at the gate to prevent vandalism.

This cemetery is referred to as Burrows, Conners, Jenkins, or Barrett cemetery. The sign on the gate says "Old Madison County Cemetery". I went to the oldest funeral home in Madisonville and asked them what the cemetery was called, he said it was Burrows cemetery in all their funeral records, but would probably depend on what generation you asked as to what it was called.

Following this alphabetical transcription, I have included a transcription of the order these people are buried, whom is next to whom and where the unmarked graves are located in the cemetery along with my notes in [ ].

There are alot of graves marked by pieces of wood stuck in the ground that have petrified over the years with no writing on them.

I transcribed this cemetery on January 2, 2001.
