"I have been to the Weldon Cemetery. It is a couple miles north of the Trosper Cemetery on the other side of the road at the top of a little hill. When going over the railroad you can see a hill ahead. It is on the hill and with all the crops out you can see the cemetery.

"I found Elizabeth G. Weldon and James Best Weldon on one tombstone; her dates were 1835 - 1872 and his were 1826 - 1859. I have the marriage date of Elizabeth Gilliland and James B. Weldon as 25 Dec 1855 so that would fit beautifully. There is one child [in the cemetery], Nathan, son of J. B. and E. T. Weldon, died 16 Dec 1856 aged 1 mo. 13 da. It appears that Elizabeth's father was Nathan Gilliland with wife Ann.

"Down at Columbia I got the tombstone dates for James H. Weldon (brother of Charity who married Mr. Lawson) and his wife Amanda. His dates fit for they say 1858 - 1924 and Amanda's say 1859 - 5 Feb 1937.
