Doc Geo Cleghorn GA
To any Cleghorn interrested: came upon old gravestones in vecinity of Old Washington Rd in Evans GA in area recently logged. "
These two gravestones were found in Evans, Columbia County, Georgia, USA about 100
yards SouthEastfrom the intersection of Old Washington Road and Clanton Road.
On the left gravestone is written:
Doct. GEO CLEGHORN
A native of Scotland
But for many years
A citizen of Georgia
Died May 1823
Aged 70 years
On the right graveston is written:
ELIZA ELEANOR
Daughter of
Doct. GEO. & MARTHA
T. CLEGHORN
Died Oct. 31st. 1819
Aged 13 years
In the photo, the initial "I." before Cleghorn actually appears to be a "T." when
examined closely and felt with the fingers.There are triangular ends on the top
cap of the "I."The gravestones are apparently of marble and very weathered.
We wet and rubbed the dirt on the faces of the stones to cause the engravings
to be more readily seen. Photos available.
