Burial site of Daniel & Mary, Abingdon, VA; mid 1800s
I have a brochure on the Sinking Spring Cemetery. Site #7:
"Dr. Daniel Trigg and his wife, Mary Munford Thompkins Trigg, a cousin of robert E. Lee, are buried in a plot surrounded by an ornamental iron fence, (pictured) unusual in this early section.Dr. Trigg was a physician and served as mayor of Abingdon.He died at the age of 43, leaving his wife and five young children."
I am not researching these people and have no further information.The brochure is put out by the Town of Abingdon and the Historical Society of Washington County.
