    • The death record of Levi Martin Hughes states his burial location as Point Pleasant Cemetery in Doddridge County. There are two cemeteries by that name in Doddridge County, one at Oxford and the other at Fallen Timber. But readings of both cemeteries have revealed no marker for Levi Martin. However, another Doddridge County cemetery with a similar name, the Pleasant Hill Church Cemetery near Zinnia, does have a marker identifiable with him. The marker reads only "Family of Levi Hughes," with no other names, dates or clues to indicate what family members may be buried there. It is reasonable to assume that Levi Martin Hughes himself is buried there. Since that cemetery is the burial location for much of her family, it is also likely that Levi's first wife, Sarah Vanscoy, was buried there when she died in 1889.
