Notes regarding Prince and Crawley in Deed Books

On a genealogy research trip to Madison, Morgan Co, GA in the spring of 2010 a number of old records relating to the Prince family were found in the archives building beside the courthouse.  I found a map showing where Daniel & Sarah's house was.  I am almost certain I know where they are buried, at least the cemetery, but not the specific spot there (unmarked).  A survey of the property prepared in 1869 is located at the bottom of this page.
