The Story of the Leopoldville and a brave Baldwin County native, Garlan Carlton
Baldwin County's Revolutionary War Veteran:
A short distance from Blakeley, remote from all signs of travel or habitation,
at the summit of a long grassy slope heavily shaded by swaying pines through
which the sunlight flickers, is Saluda Hill Cemetery—just one enclosed
family burial place with a few scattered graves around it, but of immense
historic interest, for here lies buried a Revolutionary soldier, the only
one so far as known in Baldwin County. The grave is bricked up about two
feet, and the stone that marks the spot and is remarkably well preserved
bears the following inscription: Sacred to the memory of Zechariah Godbold
a native of Marion District, S.C. who departed this life July 13th, 1832,
aged 69 years, 3 months and 10 days. At an early age he joined the ranks
of Genl Marion in that eventful struggle which was over Independence.
This stone is erected by his widow and son in testimony of their esteem
for a kind husband, indulgent Father and generous friend. Transcribed
