From David Talbott email 2 Feb 2010:
"I do know that the property that Richard and Temperance owned (and where their graves are located) happens to straddle the line between Washington and Monroe counties on a lovely little knoll overlooking the Ohio River with a view across the River to the Virginia side where their Wells relatives lived."
