About Keziah French

Birth: Aug. 8, 1768 Staunton City Virginia, USA Death: Sep. 26, 1845

Keziah French was the daughter of Richard & Keziah Callaway (spelled as CallAway.) Keziah Callaway was the daughter of Col Richard Callaway of Boonesboro, and Elizabeth Hoy (second wife.) Elizabeth's grave is also in this cemetery. Her tablet stone records her death in 1813. When Richard was killed by Indians, Elizabeth moved in with her daughter Keziah and her son-in-law, James French. It appears that hers was the first engraved stone in the French Cemetery. There are numerous rough limestone markers there with no engraving
