WEBB/CHANDLER
In researching my family I believe that John Webb buried in the County Line cemetery was married to Narcissus Chandler b. Nov. 18, 1846 and died Nov. 28, 1879. The way it is listed, the Chandler below John Webb looks like a new person, and I don't know what the 33 yrs 10 days Civil War looking entry on the same line would be as Narcissus died fairly young and I don't think served in the Civil War ; ) . I don't know who that entry belongs to. Would it be part of John D. Franklin's broken stone? He and his wife Elizabeth are somehow related to John Webb, as he and his children are living with and next to John and Elizabeth after Narcissus died, and John's children are listed as "nephews". Is part of the broken stone Elizabeth's marker? I can't seem to find Elizabeth Franklin. I found out John Webb's son Henry's wife Mary McInturff's parents are the GN (Gasper Nathaniel) and Martha McInturff buried in the same side as John Webb and John Franklin. Their sons (Mary's brothers) are buried nearby. I wonder if John Franklin's Civil War service from Arkansas, and possibly his wife Elizabeth are mentioned on the part of his stone that is broken....
