This article seems to say his father was Nathan Stedman, but later says it was Winship. Winship seems to have been this Nathan's brother, who also had a son Nathan.
Would you mind reading the cemetery controversy section and let me know if it still needs improvement? I THINK I have it clarified sufficiently. Txantimedia (talk) 06:27, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Txantimedia: I still find it confusing. Is the section mostly about the cemetery and this Nathan Stedman is not mentioned until the third sentence? If so, it would be more helpful to focus on this person, and make the cemetery mystery (not really a "controversy") subordinate to him. Start the section with something like this, with the last (short) paragraph of the previous section about his death merged in.
Stedman died on November 13, 1847 and was buried in the family cemetery in Pittsboro. The cemetery site was established in {first burial year?] and lost [if you have dates on when it was lost, include them]. It is believed to have been adjacent to the United Methodist Church, and research continues to find it.[insert reference for the belief, to the Historical Society website or a story in the local newspaper if you can]
