This cemetery belongs to the Smith Creek Methodist Church, which is at 3903 MO State Hwy U (about a mile N> of the cemetery), and this church hs now a congregation of about 30
This is near the now no longer existing town of Pinckney, MO.
Pickney was the county seat for Montgomery County, before Warren County was created, and this area belonged to the Spanish.
The town washed down the Missouri River, and Lewistown (up on I-70 now, and also a ghost town) was made county seat.
In 1835 Warren County was created, and Danville was made Montgomery County seat, and Warrenton was created to become the new Warren County seat.
