Notes: Take GA 17 North through Royston and then Bowersville, Ga and travel about 1 1/2 miles and turn left (west) onto the Jesse Leard Road (dirt
road). Travel about 1500 feet and the marker will be on the left hand side of the road
next to a white picket fence underneath a shady tree. It is the only marker there. The original site "may have been" out in the
field where an owner of farm mistakenly plowed up the marker and gravesite; consequently it was moved to the present location.
