Graveyard on farm, was fenced, believed to have been trampled by cattle and lost. If marker exists it might not be visible. Death record not found, cannot prove burial here.

Researching: -Elizabeth Mar 11 1826-apr 11 1859/Wayne Co VA m: Benjamin F. Drown. Note while this Elizabeth appears in FTs as dau of Levi, her memorial says she is dau of Greenville Riggs, which seems accurate. The three daughters shown in 1840 census would appear to be Cassandra, Louisa and Susan. It is unlikely there was another daughter unless she died or married young.
