The most famous grave in Tampa

My friend Tom Castros (pictured) is a taxi driver for United Cab - Tampa's finest cab company. He and I have driven by Oaklawn cemetery for years but never understood the history of it.
It is Gothic in design and was created in 1850 for "slave and freeman." We were able to find the most famous grave in there. The grave of William & Nancy Ashley is a testimony to eternal love.
Nancy was a slave and William was her master. They were in love and married. Because of this, they were both hanged.
What is strange is the executioner was named Jackson. He is the one that put this tombstone on the grave. That's a little creepy.
