Apparently the family (or the markers, at least) were moved from a DUKE 
   family cemetery.  Thomas' Find a Grave Mem. (#146918587) and those of 
   his in-laws show them in New portion, Sect. D, Plot 14. 

The gravestone of his father-in-law (d. 1890) was erected by "his loving 
   wife" (d. 1921).  She owned a farm (#76) in Holy Dist, Nansemond Co. 
   in the 1900 Census.
