This gravestone is one of the oldest in Chambers Co. that can still be read. 
The inscription was carved in a slab of grey slate in 1851. Isabel's history is 
shown below.

Mollie Hinton Redd McGinty's maternal grandparents were John Duke Taylor and 
Sarah Ann Burdett.  They were married on January 2, 1851, in Chambers Co., AL.  
John was born in Covington, Newton Co., GA, January 21, 1827.  Sarah was born 
in Dekalb Co., GA in 1832. Maggie Taylor, Mollie's mother, was their only 
child.  Sometime after 1849, John Duke had moved from GA with his father Thomas 
Taylor and mother Sarah Duke to Randolph Co., AL. The marriage of John and 
Sarah was short lived.  When Maggie was only seven, Sarah became blind and died 
in 1859.  She was buried near her mother, Isabel Davis Burdett, at the 
Macedonia Primitive Baptist Church near LaFayette, AL. In 2003, my brother Phil 
and I visited this cemetery and found the grave of Isabel Burdett.  After 
searching the maintained portion of the cemetery, we found her gravesite, 
partially obscured by undergrowth.  Her gravestone is a solid slab of grey 
slate, covered with moss (photo).  The inscription reads: “Here lays the body 
of Isabel Burdett.  Was born on Feb the 11th 1791 and died Nov 25 1851.”  This 
was quite a find for us as she is our great, great, great grandmother.
