Records about the Mount Jackson Cemetery are in the Wayne Township' Trustee's office. The last recorded records were type written in books, which made it very difficult to find a burial site. In 2000, the records were transferred to a database. (The database is available here in text form. Note: This is a 910k file, estimated download time at 28.8 is 10 1/2 minutes.) There are 12,957 recorded gravesites. The oldest recorded site is dated 1892.
