His mother's oldest brother Stephen Holland married Lucy Davis. He also had a great grandmother who's maiden name was Davis (Wilmuth Davis Gilbert). I'm not sure where the Davis name comes from. I had him as Thomas David for the longest time.
They moved from Taylor's Store to Cooper's Cove abt. 1846, then to Roanoke Co. abt. 1860, and finally to Pittsylvania Co. abt. 1868 to be near her sister Louisa Harvey Craft & husband George.

DESCRIPTION: This little cemetery is in excellent condition. It is enclosed by a rock wall four and one half feet high. Large flat rocks fitted together, so neatly that the corners are perfectly square, no mortar was used in building this rock wall.
There are several graves on the outside of this rock wall that have no markers, just old field stones at the head and foot, these are said to be the graves of slaves.
