Classification: Cemetery
Surnames: Haught, Jobes
Thanks to Jay Haught and Bonnie Wilson, I was able to locate the gravestone of Peter Haught II (veteran of the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War). I took a couple of photographs of the stones and the 3 stone cemetery and they are published on my website.

Peter's stone is extremely weathered, I forgot to bring colored chaulk and only had a mechanical pencil to highlight the lettering. The cemetery is located on the backside of a pasture about 400 yards from the road. You can barely see the small cemetery from the road, it is in a cutout from the undergrowth that surrounds the cemetery. Peter's stone, as you can note from the photographs, has been repaired and framed to prevent additional fracture. The other stones include a modern replacement for Christenia, his wife (located to left of Peter's stone as you stand facing forward center). The other stone. located to the right, is Catherine, wife of Joseph Tennant Born 1778 Died 1863. To approach the stone, I secured permission from the owner and had to drive through two pastures. I had to park my vehicle at the base of the hill and cross Jakes Run to climb up the sbort hill to the cemetery. I only posted three photographs of the cemetery on my website. Two of Peter's stone and one of the cemetery itself. I have others of the stone and the cemetery. I am a descendant of Peter Haught II, through his son, Peter Haught III. My third-great-grandfather, George Jobes married Esther Haught (daughter of Peter Haught III and Elizabeth Jenkins). I also have on my website a photograph of George Jobes and Esther Haught
