Okay, Bill, I think you were replying to my query. Thanks very much for your response. Is there anyone out there who might happen to live close to either of these cemeteries, who could see if there is a Randolph Johnson and Elizabeth (Ashby) Johnson buried there? I believe Randolph died between 1850 and 1860 and Elizabeth died after 1860, that's all I know.
