1800's home of Josiah T. McLaughlin on Forest Road, Oak Ridge community, 
Meriwether county, and boyhood home of Hon. Benjamin Franklin McLaughlin a 
Greenville attorney who served the county and the district as a representative 
and as a senator in the state legislature. The home was built most likely in 
the late 1840's. The cemetery across the road likely contains the unmarked 
graves of Josiah T. and Mary Ann Jordan McLaughlin, as well as marked and 
other unmarked graves of Josiah and Mary Ann's descendants.
