Cemetery at Lock Springs
Daviess County, MO
One slave grave in cemetery

There is one grave in the southwest corner of the cemetery which was set away a bit 
from the  white burials.

There was no name on the stone except, "Slave Tye".
Someone may be able to find a link to a relative who has not been found before.

My ancestors were the Tye family from Barbourville, Ky. and I know they 
had slaves and that some accompanied them to Missouri when the Tyes came in 
the early 1850's.  The slaves in Kentucky who took the Tye name  were from 
the family of John Granger Tye, b.1837 and of his son, Joshua Tye, b.1788. 
There is still an old  graveyard  for black persons on a hill close to the 
old Tye homestead there in Kentucky.

I know only of this one grave at the cemetery at Lock Springs , but 
others may be there unmarked.
Hope someone can use this information in some way.
