Cemeteries of Madison County, Vol. III, page 120
Ebenezer Presbyterian Church Cemetery
Note: This church was established October 25, 1834 and some of the charter members are buried in the cemetery behind the church. There are many unmarked graves here and some marked only with unlettered fieldstones. We must extend our appreciation to the late Messrs Joe and Tom Nalls who were so very helpful when this cemetery was copied. Before his death, Joe Nalls did family and church research and furnished us with a sheet of information which we have included here as the last page of this cemetery's enumeration.
