| NOTES: Let it be known that I have a $300 + standing reward for the location of the gravesite of H. T. and Tabitha Coston of Leon Co. When he died she was already gone and according to court records he was living with his eldest daughter Julia. I suspect the tombstone(s) is/are located on her family property but to date, I have been unable to locate it. Helen Starnes of Oakwood (now deceased) said she remembers her mother speaking of a double headstone on private property that her mother as a child used to play on, having the above names. However, since I did not meet Helen until later on she was not aware of the importance of the info and failed to take notes. |
