"The Story David Epperson and his Family of Albemarle, Co., VA"Page 21

"The Old House" Bless it's old heart, if we could count years as it can, we too might be peaceful and restful. But our lives are so short, we come and go so fast, no wonder at times the old House seems looking down on us with sadness; for surely the graveyard in the meadow nearby tells the story of man's short existence. The happy, merry people whose voices once made the walls of the old House ring rest there under the myrtle and boxwood, watched over by the nightingale and whip-poor-will. The old headstones, moss and ivy covered, lean down toward their dead lovingly, as though wishing to get nearer to them.

In 1802 Hannah started for Hawkins County, Tennesse, with her son Charles and family, leaving presummably five daughters and one son in Albemarle. Hannah's daughter, Judith, who married James Gardner was said to have moved to Tennesse and Kentucky with her mother and her brother Charles, but this statement was not proved. Make your own 'conclusion' after reading the following.

When Hannah left her home on the 'mountain' (Epperson Mountain), she left her dead in the little lot on the hillside overloooking the great beautiful valley toward the East. From the description in the deeds of the property sold at this time, David's home and grave seem to be a part of the 'Blue Ridge Farm' in Greenwood, Virginia.

Hannah took this long journey with her son, Charles and his family. Arriving in Kentucky, Charles bought a home in Estill County, a short distance from the little town of Richmond and just over the Madison County line.

'UNMARKED STONE'

There is an unmarked stone in "Drowling Creek Church Cemetery" near the little station of Panola, on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. A cut of this church and cemetery is given herein. In this cemetery, with an unmarked stone, is probably the grave of Charles' mother, Hannah. The family story was that "Hannah' died in Kentucky. Land sold about this time by James Gardner and his wife, Judith, in Madison County, Kentucky, would indicate that Hannah's daughter, Judith Epperson Gardner, was in Kentucky at this time with her mother.
