EDWARDS (JOHN) CEMETERY This cemetery is located at the	19W North intersection 
with Hardscrabble Road (# 1391).  It is on top of a very steep hill. 
Condition: Poor, grown up in trees and underbrush.

SURNAMES:  EDWARDS, RANDOLPH

1.  PATSY EDWARDS, died February 26, 1890 Aged 84 years, 9 months, 15 days (40 
Years a Member of the Baptist Church) (Her name was actually Martha "Patsy" 
Edwards) (By calculating her date of birth and age at time of death,  she was 
born May 11, 1806)

2.  JOHN EDWARDS, born April 5, 1800, died February 27, 1897 Only a field 
stone marks the grave of her husband.

Bis Randolph said his great-grand father was buried there and I am assuming 
that his great-grandmother was also buried there - they are:

3.  THOMAS RANDOLPH, born about 1805, died after 1880

4.  KISSIAH RANDOLPH, born about 1812, died after 1880

There are many other graves marked with fieldstone.
