      From the Grantham Gazette is the following information that points to this as being the burial site for Edward Grantham of Surry:
      Edward received a land patent of 300 acres on May 29, 1683. The land was located in Southwarke Parish, Surry County, on the branches of Cypress Swamp.

      Edward Grantham's property on Cypress Swamp was known as Grantham's Reeds. Many of the deeds concerning this land mention the "cart path," which was actually a well traveled road leading from North Carolina to Southwarke Church and the warehouses at Gray's Creek.

      He was probably buried at Southwark Chapel, which was located not far from his plantation.
