In Wirt Co., I am researching early families (ca 1790 to ca 1820), primarily Beauchamp and Rigg. I have seen the old cemetery in Elizabeth where several of the Beauchamps are buried. The widow of Benjamin Gibbons, who reportedly married Benjamin Rigg , was said to have been buried in the Pribble cemetery. I could not find this cemetery using the USGS geographic name server, though it lists many other cemeteries Wirt Co. Perhaps it is listed under another name, or not listed. I did find reference to it in an article dating back to 1941, but the article did not mention where it was located. The way the 1941 article was worded, it sounded like the cemetery may have been on land owned by a Thomas Pribble in the early 1800s, though it also mentioned a Mrs. Hiram Pribble.
