Mother of:
Anthony Alexander (Hannah Sanford): 1740-1844
Mary: 1741-1794
John Footman (Mary Ray): 1745-1791
I had stated that he was buried on Cople Parish Cemetery which evidently no longer exists as I received this from Dal Mallory, Chairman of the Cemetery Committee of the Westmoreland County, VA History Documentation Committee,
"I can tell you there is no such cemetery as Cople Parish Cemetery in Westmoreland Co.,VA.
It is not known where this person and their family are buried. Ther were most likely buried on their plantation or possibly in the cemetery at Yecomico Episcopal. But the Parish Records that would prove or disprove this fact were burned in a fire at the Rectory in 1914.
Because of the above stated facts, I believe you should change the place of burial to UNKNOWN....if they look for this cemetery they will not be able to find it....we do not want to give people the wrong information."
