Black Jack - Collison Cemetery

Washington Township, Hocking County, Ohio

On SR 664, about 7 miles south of Logan, Ohio on the left or 6 miles north of
South Bloomingville, Ohio on the right at Black Jack Rd.. The old cemetery lies on the
hillside on the south ( right) side of Patton Rd. (Twp.509) , which goes to a camping facility.
Patton Rd. is just south of Paxton Rd. ( CR. 171) and across from Black Jack Rd.

I would like to give my sincerest thanks to Lynn Sheren for
donating all of the photographs of Black Jack CollisonCemetery.
It is appreciated so much and may they be left to future generations
as a record of those buried here.
Thank you Lynn!

Cemetery Transcription was made on Thursday, October 9, 2003, by Lona Brown Stevens and Martha Eveland Brown

This cemetery is very old and is in terrible shape. Effort has been done by an unidentified gentleman to cut and clean the brush from the spot, to which we are grateful for his concern for this forgotten cemetery. Some of the stones could not be found that were indicated from other transcribers of this cemetery. Some of the old stones that are there are broken and weather worn, making it hard to see the names and dates. Since it is in such array a comparison of other transcriptions were looked at to find the most accurate reading as possible.
The * indicates names from an earlier transcription that were not found by myself in the cemetery.
If you have relatives that are buried here or have a correction, please contact me, because every effort should be made to insure accuracy of these pioneers of Hocking County.

     Also myself and another transcriber saw three different interpretations of names.
                                     James Hughes or Hatcher.
