• Headstones

  Philip P. & Parthenia Shapard Tombstone Shapard-Bennett Cemetery Ringgold, Virginia Philip's tombstone gives his date of death as 6 Dec 1880. This appears to be incorrect. The 1880 census, enumerated on 25 June 1880 shows Parthenia Shepard as a widow. Also, his will was proven on 19 Jan 1880. The date of death is likely 6 Dec 1879.
