FORD CEMETERY

Located at 143 Gentry Hamilton Road in the Gray area of Washington County. 

The cemetery is very large, but most of the graves are unmarked. It was recently discovered that the borders of the cemetery were much larger than first thought. The owner of the adjoining land with part of cemetery knocked over and misplaced several fieldstones while cleaning the lot. It is estimated that probably 30-50 graves are unmarked.
