Ledford's Chapel United Methodist Church Cemetery - Clay County, North Carolina (Approx. 256 Names) Ledford's Chapel United Methodist Church and Cemetery are located east of Hayesville on the right just as one turns onto Ledford's Chapel Road from U. S. Hwy 64. The Ledford's Chapel Methodist Church was established as early as 1860. Land for the church and cemetery was given by Samuel Ledford and James Nelson. Church services were held in an old log school house near the site of the present church building as early as 1865 and the first church building was erected in the early 1870's. In 1902 a larger, but still one-room church was erected. This building served until it was dismantled when the present brick structure was erected in 1955. Earliest recorded birthday is James Nelson who was born 7 December 1809. Earliest recorded burial is for S. A. Ledford who died in 1868. Note: Neal R. Kitchens, Sheriff of Clay County for twenty years is buried here.. This survey was performed by Mrs. Dorothy Shepherd.
