were the only marked stones at that time. F.M. [Miss Flossie Martin]

RED HOUSE TAYLOR FAMILY GRAVE YARD Davie County. Located about 2-1/2 miles 
below Farmington,on the left of the road to Mocksville.In my childhood I.G. 
Roberts owned the surrounding property. For several years it has been and is 
now the property of Hamp Seats. The summer of 1969. Vernon Miller and were 
over there and found that the graveyard had been destroyed. We saw the owner 
and he said that he had had it bull-dozed in a few months before. Vernon and I 
had gone there with ax,shovel,scrapers etc.,hoping to uncover more graves. 
When Gladys Davis and I were there a few years before we felt the small trees 
and silt or leaves,covered many more graves than we found. The following six 
graves are all that Gladys and I found,and read fairly well.
