Notes:

George Ledbetter was a Captain in the Revolutionary War.

The Ledbetters had a two story white house, set a little ways off the road and
a short distance from where the road turns to go to "Old Field's Cemetery."

Just to the side of the house is the Ledbetter's family cemetery, surrounded by
metal and wire posts, briars and thistles covering it. In April, 1968, the
house had been painted a pretty yellow with white trim and white shutters. It
sets along the highway and at the back of the land sets the old cabin, about to
fall down. At one time this set on the road, but it is at the base of the
mountain on which the "Old Field's Cemetery" is situated. This house at the
rear of the property is the house in which Carmia Etta Ownbey and her sisters
were born.
