Please see the memorial marker placed by descendants at the Gulledge Cemetery near Ruby, Chesterfield County, South Carolina here.
(The photographs, made in the 1970s, depict the burial place of William Hubbard Gulledge and some of his family, who are buried under the huge cedar tree at the top of the hill. The lower photo was made of his cabin, just beyond the cemetery. And if you have an interest in this family please click on the photographs, there are more details in the captions.)
William Hubbard "Bill" Gulledge (born about 1803, died on 20 September 1875 per his probate record) was a son of William Hood Gulledge and his wife, Lucy (maiden name unknown). Bill married twice, FIRST to Sarah Jane Tarlton with whom he had five children, four boys and one girl.
He married SECOND, in his old age, to Nancy "Puss" Williams with whom he had a second family. However he died when these children were small, and they were raised by their mother on the farm Bill had resided on.
Bill and Sarah Jane were both buried on his farm, as related to Marie Gulledge Wiggins (my mother) by their great grandsons, Rev. J. D. Gulledge, his brother Walter Gulledge, and by James Everette "Pete" Vaughn, great grandson of Nancy. Pete lived on Bill's farm all his life, and related information he had been told by some of the old ones about the graveyard near Bill's cabin. J. D. and Walter used to drive their grandfather, Edward W. Gulledge, over to the farm to visit with his stepmother, Nancy.
Nancy was buried at the nearby Williams Cemetery. Some have assumed Bill and Sarah Jane were buried at the Williams Cemetery, but that is in error. In addition to the graves being located, and the confirmation of a number of descendants, it is illogical that Bill would have buried his first wife, Sarah, at the (Williams) family graveyard (over a mile away) of the second wife who he hadn't married yet, when there was a cemetery beside the road that ran past his cabin, just a short distance from that cabin.
More details to be posted as time allows.
