Hi,

Saw the notice you posted about Terrell. I can't help you with that, but want
to say that many people are buried (and were buried) in places other than
where they lived because of family ties, or the fact that there were extra
spaces on a family plot, or they had bought a lot already and then moved or
went to live with another family member or child in old age.

Stones in cemeteries get destroyed, so stones very well may have been placed,
but lost. If the cemetery has records, they may be able to tell you if there
was actually a burial there.

And there is always the possibility that someone in the courthouse made an
error in recording.
