Wilson (published 1974) lists Nancy Miles Roach as being buried with headstone near the home of a Dr. Barr near the community of Hopewell, MD. A photo of this home is on this page. This was probably a Roach farm at the time of Nancy's death. From the Crisfield Times Bicentennial Edition, SEPTEMBER 1976 - The grave of Revolutionary War Captain Henry Miles (1752-1795), has been moved from the overgrown Hopewell farm burial plot to a perpetually cared for plot in historic St. Peters churchyard. Previously it was impossible to get near the grave without trespassing over considerable privately owned property. Even if one did get near it he could not get close enough to read the inscription gravestone impenetrable the because of jungle with its accompanying brush, briers, and poison ivy. Overgrown trees and brush would have destroyed all signs of the grave within a few years. All graves in that farm burial plot were moved and still remain together at St. Peters. This headstone was in several pieces and someone tried to reassemble it. It appears that all of the pieces are mostly intact and the original dates and words are mostly readable. I have transcribed the headstone as best as I am able.
