STAFFORD GRAVE, Glynn Co., Georgia
Transcribed by Amy Hedrick, 2003

Unfortunately, I can not give the exact directions for
this grave site. Not that I don't want to, but it is
very hard to explain where exactly it is located. The
general location would to be to travel west on Hwy. 82
from Brunswick towards Brantley County, turn left
(south) onto Old Post Road at the county line. Travel
to the end of this road (about 1.5 miles down, it
turns to dirt, keep going). Directly in front of you
will be a gate for a hunting club, and to the left
will be a road that goes back to Hwy. 17 south.

If you have permission to go on the land you will have
to either, one get someone to take you inside the gate
in their vehicle (namely a hunting club member or
paper company employee), or two, get out and walk.

When you go through the gate, keep going straight, a
little ways down will be a road to your left. Go down
it. Somewhere on your right and about 500 feet in,
more or less, under a clump of tall trees, will be the
grave of MARTHA ANN STAFFORD.

According to family history, Martha was the wife of
Robert Stafford, Jr., son of the Revolutionary War
Soldier Robert Stafford. Martha's maiden name was
Ratcliff, and where she is buried was her family home.
Apparently she died in child birth at her parent's
home, and was buried here. It is not known if there
are other graves out there, but according to the care
taker of the hunting club and a former paper company
employee, this is the only gravesite that they know
about.


Sacred
to the memory of
Mrs. MARTHA ANN STAFFORD
Who was born 20 Sept. 1812
and died 25 Decr. 1850
______________

Her children arise up and
call her blessed, her husband
also and he praiseth her.
