Kay, thanks.  That is why I said that an educated guess by circumstances
and proximity is all I can go by and feel certain he and his wife are
both there.  Just falls into that 1815-1830 burial record void there.

I was told that his site is probably under the School building now.  How
many graves are under that structure or does anyone know for certain
(archeological survey)?

Craig,

Many of the tombstones at St. John's Church have been moved, lost,
removed, or destroyed by man or the environment, over the years.  Samual
Mordacai writes of the state of disarray of the graveyard in his book,
Richmond in Bygone Years.

There are no cemetery records from that era and a map was not done until
a project by a VCU history department intern in 2005.

We can't say that it is "likely" because we don't have any evidence to
prove this one way or the other.  

Best,
Kay Peninger
Executive Director
St. John's Church Foundation
