RE: Virginia Lomax and John Mosby graves
You should move to Warrenton, Susan - or Paris, VA. Both wonderful places....Thanks for the photos! I notice that General Lindsay Lunsford Lomax was married to Elizabeth Winter Payne. She was a kinsman of Bette Winter Meredith on her mother's side. Bette was Lew Powell's Virginia girlfriend. He gave her his diary and photograph before he left Northern VA to join the conspiracy kidnap plot. As late as 1906, the diary and photo still existed. Don't know what happened to them, as Mr. Hall attempted to find out through one of Bette's surviving sons, but nothing ever came of it. I have her will, but it's not listed in that. I'm still digging around.... Bette and her husband, Captain Robert Howson Hooe are buried in the very same cemetery.
