  1. Phyllis, what a beautiful presentation! You are appreciated. My ancestor is Henry Baugh from your list. On his marker/stone it says: PVT 4 Regt Va Militia Rev War, 1762-1836.

    The courthouse is beautiful.

    My daughter lovingly chides me for spending my days researching dead people. She is too young to understand that I “bring my ancestors to life” when I add the research; and that I am, who they were.

    I love my ancestors!

      • Thank you kindly, but I have pics which I will email to you if you give me your address.

        His markers are in the Mt Zion Cemetery in northwest Pulaski County. The attribution will be shown since I got the pics from Ancestry.

  2. Wow!!! Thank you for this page…. I heard there was a marker with my great great great great great grandfathers name on it, (Job Gastineau) and there it is!!!! I am stoked that you have taken the time to put this together….

Any thoughts?
