James Cemetery Restoration Project

In the fall of 2005, the Jackson County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society (a non-profit organization) began an effort to restore this historic cemetery located in Jackson Ohio. The James Cemetery was established in 1828 by Major John James, who in 1807 settled on land in present-day Jackson now known as "Jamestown". 

For more information on this historic cemetery please click here to go to the web page created and maintained by the James Cemetery project chairperson Anthony Coyan.
