This memorial lists the names and dates of 9 Goldsborough family members who are "remembered" in this private cemetery, but have no personal headstone to denote their actual burial location. This monument serves as a record of their internment on the grounds of Ashby / Myrtle Grove even though extant headstones or records do not specify exactly where their remains reside.

Gravesite Details

The inscription below Wliiam Goldsborough 1750-1801 reads "His Wife" as best as I am able to read it. However, Mary Ann Turbutt Goldsborough was in fact his sister.
