*this is the dense brush & trees
that we are working in & will be
moving a broken part of a grave
stone through. We will carry it by
hand as there are no vehicles
allowed to move it.

Site # 1
The partial grave stone
from Site # 2 was moved
to Site # 1 and is a perfect
match for the top of it, which
was already lying in site # 1.
Christine brushes it off, to
prepare for photos of the two
pieces after they have been
reunited.

Site # 1 Brice Woods
**records have been found that could point
to this fella having been the Brice Woods
that fought in various places...
""And also in the War of 1812""
This could be a very Historical
Find for Chatham~Kent history.
Whether these stones were found some years
ago & not recorded, this we do not know...
but today we find this of great interest to
possibly add to the celebrations of the
anniversary years of the War of 1812..
