Directions to Cemetery / Gravesite:
From US 220 Alternate (Main St) and NC Hwy 211 in Candor, NC, take Hwy 220 north for roughly 1 mile. Turn left onto Candor-Troy Rd and follow it 1,5 miles to the church. The old church building and cemetery will be on the left.
From the old church building doorway, go straight across the driveway and locate the fourth row of stones. The stone for Ebenezer Hearne is a modern upright VA-type stone. Behind it is the original stone. The original is very faint and dirty and is mostly illedgible.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
