Herring Carter Cemetery (destroyed)

Just west of Route 54, West of Fulton, Callaway County, Missouri - John B. Herring land. This cemetery has been completely destroyed by people who have owned the land since the Herring family lived there in the 1800's. There are no stones or pieces of stones here. The only evidence of a cemetery are burial depressions in the ground. This cemetery was recorded by the DAR in 1933. They listed the stones they could read and commented that there were quite a few more graves. Between 1933 and now, every trace of the cemetery has been destroyed. There are a few burial depresions that can be seen. The pictures here show the cemetery and surrounding land as it was in 2005. The cemetery was in the wooded area, this was the original John B. Herring land. This cemetery was named Grogan cemetery a few years ago when the only readable headstone had the name of Grogan. Before that it had been called the Carter Herring cemetery. It was originally the Herring cemetery. The Carters, Tatums and Grogan who are buried here were Herring descendants. Benjamin Herring who was probably the first burial in 1838, was my 4th great grandfather. His son, John B. Herring owned the land and is buried here. He was my 3rd great grandfather.

This is not a complete listing of burials.
