y history tells that he received the place across from Mapl
e Springs Church for military service as a stand in for Col
. Webb or a Col. Yarbrough. He moved his family to this fam
ry in 1865.
William B. Uzzell's first wife was Mary E. Overton, mothe

le Co. She was the mother of twins, Alice and Agnes, and Wi
lliam Egbert (the last 5 children). They lived across fro
m Maple Springs Church on Rt. 56 east of Louisburg, NC. The

emetery by grand daughter Florine Boone prior to selling ho
