208"Col. Edward Blay and his wife, Madam Ann Blay, are buried in a private graveyard at Blay's Range, about one mile northwest of Shrewsbury church. In the vault containing their remains, is a tablet with the following inscription: Within this enclosure are the remains of the following named persons: Col.
