Note: uns south off Gamaliel Road between Tompkinsville and Gamaliel, Kentucky. It is away from the road in a field, on what was back then the homeplace. A man named McPherson now owns The land. He lives in Nashville. And the land was being farmed by someone else when we found it. And He told us we could come back anytime. In fact he told us to come to the house first and he would open a gate and we could drive across the field to it. There are 3 or 4 other graves there, but they were not marked. I haven't found anyone who knows who they might be. And we haven't found a grave for Elizabeth yet.
