Grayson County TXGenWeb
  North Rich & South Rich Cemeteries

---

Original list from Charlotte Holder, Elaine Nall Bay added information and some names.
This cemetery is in two parts and located on Paw Paw Creek NW of Gordanville
There are two cemetery sections a North one and a South. 
At first I thought it may have been a seperate black cemetery on the south part but researching census records show that it is mixed. It is possible that the area between the stones may have been the middle of the cemetery and filled with graves now unmarked, any information is appreciated.
