He was the reason we visited the cemetery!! My 4th great-grandfather was Capt. John Linton, most of his sons stayed in the Washington, Nelson County area, except Benjamin Franklin Linton who moved to Logan County. I have visited Garwood Linton several times in perhaps the last ten years.
A fine, touching report—and one that stirs up many reflections.
Quite a treat to find TA Linton’s grave! I will have to make the trek down. I am oe of his great grandsons.
