RE: Zachariah Nance (Nantz)
We need to talk - for real! I am descended from Zachariah Nance & Jane Wilkins. Philip Hash - Sarah Nance; Jane Hash - Zephaniah Gum; Sarah Elizabeth Gum-Miles Phillips; Martha Caroline Phillips-Christopher Columbus Morgan; William Miles Morgan Sr - Elsie Juanita Cussins; William Miles Morgan Jr-Ethel Anstett; me.... So we share a lot of ancestry especially ging up line together.

Yes, it probably does say Charles City Co., VA as that is where Zachariah Nance was born.
Thanks for the website info. Will look into it. If you are interested in talking/communicating more please send private email. Annie

Thank you for the picture of the tombstone. Is it possible for you to put a transcription of the tombstone on the website? The bottom of the stone is not readable. He is my 3 Great grandfather and I am looking for all documentation on him and his family I can find. Thanks. Annie

Michael Purkypile Grave at Morelock Cemetery in Morristown, TN
I spoke to the gentleman who owns the land this cemetery is on. He told me Purkypiles are buried here, but their markers have long since disappeared or eroded (if markers were ever placed). He said there is no plat or anything labeling the graves, but he said this grave is probably close to the tree in the photo. That area contains the oldest graves in the cemetery, but the markers there are limestone and many of them are little more than rocks at this time. I'm adding this photo of the area because there have been several requests for Michael Purkypile's grave in recent times. I've searched more than once for this particular grave in the hopes of finding it, but this is the best that I can do. :-)

You are welcome, thought you might want both as they were on the same base.

Kevin,
I had noticed these requests previously. Sorry but they do not have monuments in this cemetery and none have been listed in any earlier transcriptions. John
