Early next month, I will be making another trip back to West Virginia to
try to locate the graves of my ancestors, Richard and Honora Stephenson
and their son, Col. Hugh Stephenson. I will visit and photograph grave
markers on the property of the Summit Motorsports and also at Burns
Farm, which is built on the foundations of Richard Stephenson's
homestead, surveyed by George Washington in 1750. I will also visit the Edge Hill Cemetery in Charles Town, where another Revolutionary War hero, Col. James Stubblefield, is buried.
There is also a squarish barren patch at 1636 Leetown Rd. in Charles
Town that could be a deserted cemetery. I will explore all these places.
Wish me luck!
