Skinnersville Township Pea Ridge Road SR 1302, 3.1 miles East of Route 32. 3132 Pea Ridge Road was the likely dwelling
site of Zephaniah and Nancy Norman Alexander as a deed shows he owned the property. The dwelling was burned down by
the fire department. The front of the dwelling faced West and was approximately 300 feet South of the grave site.
3179 is the property of Sarah and Gary Mullenex (2001) and the grave site of whom we assume is that of Zephaniah Powell
Alexander and others since this property was owned by him. Zephaniah's tombstone at this site is a standard government
Union Civil War issue with the inscription Co, C 1st North Carolina. Nancy Norman Alexander is also buried in this plot. An
eye witness of the burial, a granddaughter Mary Alexander Koeing, said her grandmother was buried in this plot in an
unmarked grave. There is also the possibility that Hanye Earnestine Deshields, age 12, is buried in the plot. Earnestine was
visiting her grandmother at the time of her death and never returned home. Also the Union tombstone of Abram Swain with
the same Union inscription lies in this plot and most likely that of his wife.
3247 Pea Ridge Road now (2001) the Melson dwelling is the former dwelling of Jordan and Mary Alexander.

Charles Anna Alexander - Time-Line
Charles Anna was a gentle lady. She was very petite lady and never weighed 100 pounds in her life. She dressed to perfection.
She must have had a hard time raising her children as a 42 year widow. She probably had a very lonely widowhood. She
never missed going to church on Sundays. Rodney K. Deshields
She and Henry had had twelve children, nine boys and three girls. Three children, two girls and a boy died as children. Nine
children lived into their seventies and nineties. A sister and 8 Brothers, must have been quite a household. Rodney K
Deshields

Certificate of Death Commonwealth of Virginia File No 6481 - Registration District No 641 Registered Number 36 - cause of
death Avine Influenza - South Norfolk, Va - Burial Mackey, North Carolina
Henry and two infant children are buried on the south side of the Pea Ridge Freewill Baptist Church about 25 feet south of
the center window in unmarked graves. These graves can no longer be located today. Rodney Kenneth Deshields knew where
these graves were located as he visited this church in 1930 on a vacation from Sandusky, Ohio with his parents. At that time
Zephiniah Deshields (his father), Uncle Tom Graham Alexander, and two of his brothers visited this church and graveyard.
Uncle Tom said this is where grandfather Henry Deshields was buried, as he had helped dig the grave. Uncle Dan Deshields
also told him where the grave was. His father Zephiniah, and Uncle Dan were the only two sons who knew the graves
location. The Pea Ridge Freewill Baptist Church is located Southeast of Route 37, as you come off the sound bridge. In 1998
Rodney K Deshields placed a marker near the spot of the grave. The building has been expanded and now probably covers the
original grave. - Rodney K Deshields
