Lawrence Township, Washington County, Ohio

Located on Route 26, about 9 miles northeast from Marietta.  Look for the white frame Moss Run Church on a hill on the right (east) side of the road; a steep road up from the church leads to the cemetery at the top of the hill.  This is a partial set of transcriptions of the gravestones in the cemetery in August 1993:
