These are significant markers in this cemetery. Husband William and wife Barbara were born in the mid 1700's and he is a veteran of the American revolutionary War. They both appears in the Lee County Virginia 1820 census.
The dates are very hard to read and may be off. Any help with the memorials of William and Barbara Neill is appreciated.
"Barbara is actually Bethsheba, nee' Harrison. (1763-1821), who marries Stephen Neill in 1781. Her father was Jeremiah Harrison (1701-1793). Harrison seems to have come from the NY area...family research continues."

Suggested edit: Bathsheba was born in Linville Creek, Augusta (now Rockingham) County, Virginia.

"Linville Creek was one of the most interesting and important centers of Colonial Virginia. In the lush Shenandoah Valley of Virginia in Augusta (later Rockingham) County, it quickly became a civilized outpost. It had a history before the Swiss Germans joined the English, Quakers, and few Scotch-Irish who were among the earliest settlers. And later, Rockingham County was always a passage way too, as people landed for a while, developed what they had, and headed off to new places where they could claim twice or tripple the land for half the price or less.
