There is some discrepancies in where William is buried. I have or have seen documents showing his final resting place as Northern MS,, Raleigh, Shelby Co, TN, Franklin Co, KY, and Owen Co. KY. Franklin Co became Owen Co after William's death. I grew up and recently moved from Raleigh and I had no luck finding his grave. If anyone had documentation of where he lies, I would appreciate the info. |
