Mrs. Charles McCullock, Story of Heroic Revolutionary Couple; pub. in the Rockbridge News:- Phebe died February 12, 1821, 34 years after John. The age on the monument is incorrect. All records give her birth 1749, which would be 72 years old. John and Phebe sleep here in the peaceful God?s Acre at the foot of Sallings Mountain. The sandstone obelisk which marks their graves is capped by the Torch of Liberty, pointing to the heavens, fitting emblem of the pure flame of their spirit. It is inscribed: Sacred to the memory of John Paxton, who died October 3, 1787, aged 44 years. Also to his wife, Phebe Paxton, who died February 13, 1821, aged 76 years.
