These pictures are wonderful, even if the site is in poor condition. My wife is the great great great granddaughter of William and Elizabeth. Thank for you sharing your time and efforts.

Hi,
Thank you so much for taking these pictures and the video. I am William and Elizabeth's great great great granddaughter. It makes me sad to see what poor condition the gravesites are in. I know very little about them (I just stumbled upon find a grave and found your link), but these pictures and video are a wonderful surprise. Thank you again!
