    Ref: WBH, granddaughter. When John died, soldiers were camped at the Methodist

    cemetery, but this had not been done when Margaret died in 1865, and she was
    laid to rest beside him.

    carried their mother to 52nd VA Regiment camp, which was principally from

    was deputy surveyor for the county under Sampson Mathews, first surveyor of
    Pocahontas Co. Roscoe W. Brown, surveyor in 1938, told WBH that he had always
    found the work of John Yeager to be very accurate.
