North Carolina Governors and their Final Resting Places (Paperback)

Some of the dates on the early grave markers have been worn away by time. Usually it is the date when the governor is born. Researchers from past and present use January 1 if the date is not known. I have also used this method. If a date on a grave conflicts with the history books, I will use the date that appears most through my research. Although rare, these problems did come up a few times during my research and fact finding.
