(My Note (BJC): The tombstone is probably very worn and the 3 may have also looked like an 8. However, in the estate papers of Micajah, Green T. McAfee, Judge of the county court of Talladega Co., AL states that Alexander J. Cotten and Francis Mitchel appeared in court saying they subscribed their names to the forgoing will testament of the said Micjah T. Cotten as witnesses. This court document is dated at the bottom as the 6th day of May)
