This tombstone may be one of several large tombstones, that blew over in a storm some time ago. An effort should be made to bring those tombstones upright again, or replace them.
Note: "Several people have searched this cemetery for this grave. There is no marker for this grave. There are several known graves with no markers; there are some old markers that have deteriated to the point that they are not legible."

A family letter says:
"General James Hemphill was one of the Commissioners who located Rome, Floyd County, Georgia. He was later a Congressman and Senator in the Georgia Legislature from Floyd County. He later settled at Weir, Mississippi. General James Hemphill's father, _______Hemphill, died while James was an infant. His mother married a Mr. Sanders and moved to Florida and he was left in the care of an aunt. She moved with him to Jackson County, Georgia, where he received his education and married Anna Boyle, youngest daughter of Peter Boyle. From there, he moved, while Dr. Andrew J. Hemphill was an infant, to Van's Valley, Choctaw Nation, in Northwest Georgia.
General Hemphill was a Commissioned Officer in removing the Indians from that section to West of the Mississippi. He served as a Private in the Creek War, and was afterward elected Brigadier-General of the Georgia Militia. He was one of the commissioners who located Rome, the County Seat of Floyd County, Georgia, and afterward served with credit in both houses of the Georgia Legislature from that County. He was a successful Planter and Merchant, an accumulated large property. In 1848 he sold out to his brother-in-law, William Montgomery, and settled in Choctaw County, Mississippi, near the present town of Weir, and died there about 1868. His wife died about 5 years after, and they are buried in Lebanon Cemetery.
Besides the aunt who raised him, General James Hemphill knew of only three other relatives of his name, Cousins: Charles, Nancy and Philip Hemphill. Charles and Philip Hemphill lived in Van's Valley, Georgia. Nancy married colonel James Liddell, who lived in Rome, Ga. These three families moved to Mississippi. Charles Hemphill, who as his brother-in-law, (having married Rebecca Boyle) settled at French Camp, where they both died. They have now only one living son, Dr. J. W. Hemphill, a practicing physician and an Elder, who lives near Rocky Springs, Warren County, Mississippi. Philip Hemphill and Colonel James Liddell settled in Carrollton, Mississippi, and died there, leaving large and influential families, lawyers, physicians, and planters in that section."
Ref. for the birth date of John B. Hemphill was the Diary of Judge Jason Niles, of Attala County, Miss., who noted that John B. Hemphill died in Ellis County, Texas. See tombstone for J.B. Hemphill in Ellis County, Texas.
