Gravestone of Benjamin and Pollie Glover

Harbison Cemetery. Photograph via Find a Grave.

What it proves: The shared stone is carved ‘REV. BENJAMIN GLOVER — BORN A SLAVE — AGE 112 YRS.’ and ‘POLLIE GLOVER — BORN A SLAVE — AGE 106 YRS.’ The ages are as inscribed; certificate and census ages differ and are carried alongside, not smoothed over.

Tier: Verified — document in hand.
