Notes

Added by unknown; source unknown "Mt. Zion Cemetery, one of the most beautiful country cemeteries in the area, is located at the dead end of Dubois County Road 600W near Ireland, Madison Township, Indiana. Original Owners: The quarter section of land on which Mt. Zion is located was entered by William Shook, one to the five founders of the "Irish Settlement". He received a grant from the U.S. Government dated October 18, 1814--sold his entry a few years later to ELIZABETH CARTMILL GREEN, a great-great- grandmother of Forrest R. Anderson. She was a native of the Republic of Ireland. After coming from County Armaugh to America, she settled in Rockbridge County, Virginia. She was married to James Green, a Revolutionary War soldier. After James died, Elizabeth brought her family from Woodford County, Kentucky, and then to Dubois County, Indiana. ELIZABETH GREEN later sold her farm to John Armstrong, also a native of Rockbridge County, Virginia. John was a Ranger during the War of 1812 and had a fort at Armstrong Station in Clark County, Indiana. His youngest brother George Armstrong is listed in the census of 1820, but John is not. This George Armstrong was the great-great-grandfather of local historian Forrest R. Anderson. Founding of Mr. Zion: John Armstrong and his wife were of the Cumberland Presbyterian Faith. Since there were several people of the same faith but there was no real close of their denomination, he decided to build one near his home. So John Armstrong, the builder of Mt. Zion Church, built a church in which to worship his God before he built a dwelling for himself and family. Mt. Zion Church was the first frame church to be built in this part of Dubois County. It is not known in what year the church was built, although it was probably in the early 1840's. Part of the original deed to Mt. Zion Cemetery. On the metal embossed sign at Mr. Zion today it reads: These grounds were used for religious and burial purposes many years before 1853. In order to advance the Redeemer's King dom here on earth. John Armstrong and his good wife Jane in 1853 deeded Mt. Zion in Madison Township to James Anderson, James Stewart, William Rose, George Washington Armstrong, and Barton Ward Anderson.
