Could someone help this lady (Saundra Brown) who is looking for her Major LEATH & family in Henry Co,AL? I couldn't help her and she seems pretty eager to learn of her family... Thanks, Martha ============= Hello, I was directed to you to talk about the Leath Land Patent and cemetery there in Columbia Alabama. BLM gave a designation that Major Leath (not Seath) bought some land there in Alabama. There is no Major Seath listed in any of the censuses. I did a search at Ancestry.com. I am interested in finding the Leath cemetery and getting to know who is buried there. I was wondering if you could take pictures of the gravestones there. I would reimburse you for this effort.
