After further research, I learned there is much more confusion as to where the Montague Cemetery is located which proves that my previous posting was incorrect. During the research, I learned how the confusion originated. The Montague Cemetery was originally located in Liberty Co., but when the county line between Liberty Co. and San Jacinto Co. was moved then afterwards the cemetery was located in San Jacinto Co. ca. 3 miles inside San Jacinto Co. from the San Jacinto Co. and Liberty Co. line. Thus, all of those persons who were buried prior to the move of the county line were buried in Liberty Co. and those who died after the county line was moved were buried in San Jacinto Co. Today, the best way to record where a person was buried prior to the move of the county line should show that Joe so-and-so was buried: in Liberty Co., TX prior to the move of the county line of which the area is not San Jacinto Co., TX. To simply state a person is buried in Liberty Co./San Jacinto Co. makes it appear that one doesn't know exactly were the deceased was buried.
