      Soil From Grave of Starling Gunn At Mt. Vernon The Bee (Danville, Virginia) 29 March 1928 (Page 1).

      The tree from Yorktown which was recently planted near the tomb of George Washington at Mount Vernon by the Daughters of the American Revolution is taking root in soil, part of which was removed from the grave of Starling Gunn in Caswell county.
      When this article was published, Starling Gunn's grave was in the Gunn Family Cemetey north of Yanceyville. Later, his great great grandson, Johnnie Oliver Gunn, had the gravestone moved to the Yanceyville United Methodist Church cemetery in Yanceyville.
