The following is quoted from page 17 of J. Howard Binns' "Meet the Edgertons":

William and Charlotte (Pike) Edgerton established their home in a community about ten miles northwest of Goldsboro, Wayne County, NC near his father's homestead. All of their children were born there. Some time before the Civil War, William built a cotton factory at Lowell, North Carolina, and moved his family there. This was their home until he retired from business about 1881 when they moved to a location near Goldsboro where they could be near their son Lazarus Edgerton and daughter Talitha Edgerton Hodgin. Here William and Charlotte Edgerton died and were buried in the Nahunta Friends Cemetery.

The place of burial appears to be incorrect, unless the stones in the Edgerton Cemetery are only memorial markers rather than their actual graves.
