There were no Violet Ledford in file , but I ran a check on all files on cd's and found two Violet Freemans living in NC on the 1870 censes . I found several Joseph Ledfords but the dateds you gave did not match with them . On the George Washington Freeman , there were several of them , but either the wives did not match or the dates were to early for your G.W. Freeman . I ran just the name George Freeman had one est. bn. date of 1856-1876 , but wife was listed as Sarah Bell , another one George bn. 1869 father minter Erving Freeman bn. July 18-1843 in NC wife . Elanor Lucinda Prock . No know wife for George .
