Braddock Grave lore and local history notes
In a narrative blending family memory and historic rumor, the article recalls Braddock’s Grave and nearby Braddock’s Old Road with tales from Andrew Stewart’s era. It recounts Pecett’s caution to avoid disturbing the bones, Washington’s command, and a 19th century cache of coins and enslaved people en route to the Western markets. It also reports a cold death and strange exile tale of Henry Smith, along with county Board of Supervisors proceedings and local archival notes.
