SOURCE: Dorothy T. Hennen, compiler, Cemetery Records of Greene County, Pennsylvania, 12 volumes (Waynesburg, Pennsylvania: Cornerstone Genealogical Society, 1975-1979), 10: 699, Mt. Zion Baptist Cemetery, Joseph McMeginess entry, "McMeginess, Joseph, d. 2-_-1841, aged 47yr 10da." Hennen recorded tombstone data in Mt. Zion Baptist Cemetery 5 September 1977.

When the present researcher, Candice Buchanan, visited the cemetery 8 June 2013, this tombstone could not be located. Hennen's record for this cemetery was noted in order of grave location. Accordingly, Joseph McMeginess, his wife, Mary McGinnis, and a woman who may have been his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Young, were buried side-by-side. In 2013, only Mary's stone stood in an otherwise empty area. Mary's stone is small, the size of a stone normally used for a child. Joseph and Elizabeth may have had similar markers. If they fell, they may be overgrown.
