    3. Charlie, I was in Columbus, Ga over the holidays and was able to go to Linwood Cemetery to see Sarah E. Crews grave. The cemetery is old but well kept and the Moffett plot has a recently applied layer of gravel on it's surface. It appears that Sarah was taken in by her aunt, Dorinda Philips Moffett. By chance, I came across a Philips plot with a Gen'l P. J. Philips and some more Osbornes buried there. I have photos which I've sent to Charlie, if anyone else wants them, just drop me a line and I'll forward them to you. David Moffett Burial Plot, Linwood Cemetery, Columbus, GA 1.
