Born April 24, 1825, South Carolina.
Died October 10, 1859, Marion County, Arkansas.
s/o James Washington Magness, Sr. & Narcissus Barnett Magness.
Married Elizabeth Carolina Sharp, October 1, 1846.
This is one of 17 Magness or Magness related graves that are in the southeast corner of the Patton Cemetery on the banks of Crooked and Clear Clear. All of the graves are covered with limestone slabs. Most of the slabs are coffin shaped; however, this one apparently was covered with a house-like structure hewed from large limestone slabs. The slabs that formed the roof have fallen in and are now on top of the grave.
