Mooresville Cemetery appears to be a small community cemetery due to the different people found buried here. It is most likely also known as the "Curtsinger Burying Grounds". "Moore" family descendants have stated that Pius Hamilton "Ham" Moore was buried here in 1925. According to Mr. Wilmer Tennill, "Ham" Moore was the last person buried here. Mr. Tennill stated that he was at Ham's funeral. Ham's unmarried 90 year old sister Lucy Ann Moore's death certificate states she was buried at "Mooresville" in 1921. Their mother was Nancy "Ann" Curtsinger married to Alexander Moore. Their burial location has not yet been found and may very well be in this cemetery. Moore family descendants believe Nancy Ann was the daughter of Michael Curtsinger. The 1877 map of Washington County shows a P. Curtsinger owning the land where this cemetery is located. Sarah Curtsinger Moore, the wife of Paul Booker Moore, was buried in the "Curtsinger Burying Grounds" according to her death certificate filed in 1911. She was the daughter of Lawson Curtsinger. Although her tombstone has not yet been found here, what appears to be Paul Booker Moore's tombstone is located here. The top showing the name has been broken off, but, the letter P remains along with the dates that match his birth and especially his death according to family descendants. Their infant son Samuel Moore's tombstone is intact and states he was the "son of P. B and S. E. Moore born and died in 1877. The tombstone ls near his fathers. Another tombstone found here is that of John Scott. He was married to Ruth Ann Pile, the daughter of Lucinda Ann "Lucy" Curtsinger Pile, the wife of John Robert "Jack" Pile. Their burial location is unknown and may very well be two of the field stones found here. Lucinda was also a daughter of Michael Curtsinger. Ruth Ann Pile was much younger than John Scott. She married two more times and is buried at New Hope Baptist Church Cemetery. Another tombstone found here is William Grundy, born in 1845 and died in 1898. These dates exactly match those of an African American man by that name according to descendants found on Ancestry. There are many field stones throughout this cemetery. Public knowledge states that the cemetery has been vandalized along with stones actually being removed. The whole area is covered with a very nice vinca vine, however, this vine may be covering more legible stones not yet found. The top to Paul Booker Moore's tombstone may very well be lying under this vine. This cemetery is adjacent to the "Crow Family Cemetery", however, the Crow stone sits outside of the boundary of the Mooresville Cemetery on the road right of way. Crow family descendants by the name of Cheatham have actually stated that they have mowed this cemetery in the past.
