Samuel Hamilton Ledford Family Update

I spent some time poking around at Find A Grave .com and put together some additional information on the family of Samuel Hamilton and Rutha M. Hill Ledford.
Sam, Ruth, and most of their family are buried at the New Ledford Chapel Cemetary in Hayesville, Clay County, NC.

S.H. Ledford b. Dec. 19, 1845 d. July 3, 1910
R.M. Ledford b. Nov. 1845

 In my previous post, I had said that a note on the photograph had stated that daughter Ellen had never married, but other notes had her married to William Towery.
According to the cemetary, it appears she was never married afterall:
Ellen Ledford b. March 1, 1866 d. Sept. 25, 1912

Zadie Byers b. Nov. 24, 1867 d. Feb. 16, 1952

~ J. French Cabe b. Nov. 8, 1881 d. May 16, 1946
*There are quite a few more Cabe's in the cemetary but I don't yet know how they fit together.

*Wasn't able to locate Caledonia (Dona) or Benjamin Ailey/Alley Ledford.
A couple of the graves weren't listed on the site until I added them, so it may be they are there and just not listed, or not there at all.  Hopefully I'll be able to make a trip up and look for myself one day soon.
