Bobby Ledford writes:
"Here are four images from the
Old Ledford Chapel Cemetery on Jack Rabbit
Road, off State Road 175 which runs between Hiwassee,
GA and U. S. 64, east of
Hayesville, NC. This is the cemetery that was relocated
from where it would have been in
the impoundment area of Lake Chatuge, when it was
constructed in the 1940s. I have other
images from this cemetery, as well as several images of the
Ledford United Methodist Church,
which is along U. S. 64, east of Hayesville as
well. Two of the images from the
cemetery are of Peter G. Ledford's headstones (original
stone and a later brass pillow);
you will recall that he is one of the Ledfords who served in the
Revolutionary War. Another one
is the elegant stone sign which marks and identifies the
cemetery. This is the
same cemetery where my gggfather,
Jason Ledford and his wife,
Mary Ledford are buried."
