    3. For those of you that keep tabs on the M.'s that have "gone before" . After William died his third wife,the third Molly, moved to Murphee valley in Blount County Alabama to be with her Murphee childern of her first marriage. It was said that her grave was the first marked grave in Blount County, but many of us could not find it. I teach a External Degree course called Gravestone Studies and one of my current students is from the Sand Mountain Area, so I offered her a good grade if she found Molly's grave what follows is part of her project..."Old Mt. Moriah Cemetery contains thirty-four graves that are connected to Lebanon United Methodist Church. Listed is Mary (Molly) Marshbanks who was first married to Daniel L. Murphree.The church record book for Old Mt. Moriah list the death of Mary Marshbanks as January 4, 1823. Other names of those in this Graveyard are Ambersons, Bynums, Mortons, Allgoods, and of course Murphrees all of which I recognize as names from Western South Carolina and East Tennessee. Probably more than you wanted to know ! Jerry O.
