Cem information from: Cemeteries Grant Magisterial Dist. Harrison County, WV, (Harrison County Genealogical Society Claksburg, Harrison County, WV), Pgs. 65, 66 & 426 A-1, Addendum information Jackson Cemetery. This book appears to be in error. James and Phebe are both buried on her father's home farm near Mt. Clare, Harrison Co, WV. The farm was later sold to the Bassel family and eventually ended up belonging in the 1970s to a farmer named Mendez. The farmer turned his animals into the area and shocked family members later removed the stone for Edward, Stephen and Stephen's wife Elizabeth, but I don't know if the stones for James and Phebe were moved or not. For a sketch of the family burial plot, see Conflicting Data page, Chapter Three.
