The COWHICK CEMETERY is located approximately one-quarter mile south of the Winchester Water Tower, high on the bank of Big Sandy Creek. It is inaccessable by road.

Our thanks and much gratitude to James William Cowhick and Mary Alice (Cowhick) Tuxhorn for cleaning and then reading Cowhick Cemetery and then for sharing their work and pictures with their fellow researchers.

*** James Scott was a brother of John Scott. Together they explored and settled in Scott County early in 1819/20. James was interviewed extensively by Hon. John Henderson, writer and provider of much of the early Scott County History. Some historians claim Scott County was named for John Scott. History books do not record that, however, after he moved to Macoupin County where he lived for many years. James died in 1875 and was buried beside his wife Mary (Cowhick) in the family cemetery. Vandals have extensively desecrated this burial ground and few remaining stones are visible.
