Nancy, I have not been successful in finding road directions to Union
Church Cemetery in Jefferson County, Mississippi.

The county is kind of big to be driving all over looking for one church.
Is it near to a town or crossroads or something?

I have several images of Union Presbyterian Church cemetery in Carthage,
Moore County, NC and some info on my Currie connection (

Catherine Currie Monk

) at:
http://www.quantumhyperspace.com/WJMonk/CatherineMonk/index.html
There are directions in the web page.

I have our Monk family record posted at:

JAMES MONK OF MOORE COUNTY - NORTH CAROLINA

I know there are several people on this list who have Currie connections.
