Oops, there are more 1812 veterans

I was quite disturbed to find incorrect information in an article by Carolyn Cary concerning the May home.

She evidently did not consult the book that she edited, "The History of Fayette County," when stating that Mr. May was thought to be the only War of 1812 veteran buried here.

On pages 339 and 340, the list includes S.P. Murphy, James McElroy and Tandy King.

A person involved in history,

R.A. Jones

Fayette
