....Silas, Eliza and a small child are buried on my relative's land. Silas built a house on Robertson Road. Trees and other foliage had grown up around the burials. The headstones were broken.
...The child's tombstone stated "Eliza a daughter of Silas F and Eliza A Robertson born April 24 1848 to Mar 30 1852." I also wrote Silas's dates as Dec 5 1811 to April 25 1891....
