Here is a bit of family ephemera, a Deed of Lot for my great great grandfather, Thomas Ephraim (or Ephraim Thomas–they switched first and middle names around quite a bit back then) Nash buried in St. Mary’s Cemetery. Unfortunately, when we went to find the gravesite, we discovered that many of the tombstones had been vandalized and his was no longer to be found. He is the only family member buried there.  I don’t know where my great great grandmother, Adriana (Addie) Emmart Nash is buried…I’m sure there is a story but it was lost when my grandmother died.
