Is it possible that Charles (w/wife Sarah) and William (w/wife Tempy) are brothers, and
Charles with Elizabeth are mom and dad?
If that cemetery has a caretaker, maybe they can answer the question about the new
tombstones. Or may be the local tombstone engraver can answer the queston as to whom it
was that put them there. If he was a veteran, I suppose the VA or some vet org. could
have bought it a placed it there. Or if the tombstones were removed by a historical
preservation group, they could have replace them with new ones.
I am descended directly from William. His family left Indiana for Nacogdoches,
Republic/State of Texas sometime after 1843. He appears in the 1850 census with Tempy and
kids. He later remarried Margaret Curry w/more step-kids (hers and her steps from a
previous husband), and more blood children of their own.
