Thank you Mike for your response regarding Troy. The reason I asked is that I have some handwritten notes (don't remember where they came from) that says an Evans burying ground was near Troy. The Evans family owned land near the Trinity. I'm wondering if the stones you found could have belonged to the Evans family. Some researchers believe the Evans family is buried at "Bethel". Would this be anywhere near where Troy was?
