TURN RIGHT ON ROUTE 1122 (LITTLE FORK CREEK ROAD). LEADINGHAM BRANCH ROAD IS 1.5 MILES ON YOUR RIGHT. (MEADOW BRANCH ROAD IS THE FIRST ROAD AFTER YOU TURN ONTO ROUTE 1122).
THE LEADINGHAM CEMETERY IS HIGH ON TOP OF THE HILL OVER LOOKING LEADINGHAM BRANCH AND HILTON BRANCH, BOTH BRANCHES ARE TO THE RIGHT OFF ROUTE 1122. THE CEMETERY ROAD UP THE HILL, IS TO YOUR RIGHT, JUST PAST THE ANTI OCH UNITED BAPTIST CHURCH ON YOUR LEFT. A HOUSE ON YOUR RIGHT AND A BARN ON YOUR LEFT MARKS A FARM GATE AND DIRT OR
GRAVEL ROAD UP THE HILL TO THE CEMETERY. THE FIRST CEMETERY, ONE FOURTH OF THE WAY UP THE HILL ON YOUR LEFT, IS THE GRAHM/PENNINGTON CEMETERY. KEEP RIGHT AT THE PENNINGTON CEMETERY, AND GO ON TO THE TOP OF THE HILL OR MOUNTAIN AND YOU WILL SEE THE LEADINGHAM CEMETERY, AND FLAT LAND, THAT IS CALLED STURGILL FLATS, THAT RUNS ABOUT A MILE, AND IS THE HOME PLACE WHERE THE STURGILL FAMILY WAS RAISED, AND SOME OF THEM MARRIED INTO THE LEADINGHAM FAMILY, AND ARE BURIED IN THE LEADINGHAM CEMETERY.

SOME GRAVES DO HAVE MARKERS, WILLIAM LEADINGHAM AND NAOMI PARSON LEADINGHAM DO HAVE MARKERS WITH LETTERING.
