RUDDER FAMILY CEMETERY
Read January 2000 By Janice L. Johns-Parton
  Also in Greene County, Tennessee Cemeteries By Buford Reynolds page 482.
On Galbreath Mill Road, 4/10 mile from McCamey Road; or 4/10 mile from Wildwood Road.  Thought to be on the Delbert Ridley Farm.  Go behind the old barn, pass the pond, down the hollow, climb the hill and into the woods.  Cattle have been allowed to destroy this old cemetery. If you are a Patton descendent, you really need to see the stones here.  They are fieldstones that have been laboriously hand carved and shaped.  This would make you very proud of your ancestors!   
*Said to be buried here, but I found no stone.

There is a very large stone overturned that I believe belongs to the above couple.  I could not lift it to read it, but there were footstones with their initials, and Johnson Rudder has another tombstone next to it.
