Eric,
What were the burial practices of the 1820 timeframe? If Wills passed away
while traveling on business or pleasure, would his body have been returned
to Richmond, or would he have been buried in the location where he died?
Best,
Kay

Subject: [VA-HIST] Death Notice 1820s
Associated to finding further information about our Capt. Charles Wills, for
someone who was relatively wealthy and owned several businesses as well as
properties, we have not found a "last will and testament" for him nor a
death notice in the newspaper. And it has been discussed no grave stone at
St. john's church and his death date between June and November, 1820 falls
in the void of missing interment records for the cemetery.
That said, is this uncommon? Why at least no death notice for such a high
profile person - unless I just have overlooked it?
Eric
