This aerial map shows the GPS of the Pettey Cemetery of Madison County Alabama. The location is indicated in the center of the map marked. GPS N 34.87220 X W -86.49996. Alternate Location: Section 14, 640 acres, Township 2 Range 1E. NW 1/4-320 Acres, NW 1/4-160 Acres. In the northwest corner of the section 14, on the western edge of this section and on Macon Lane, on the east side of the road upon the embankment.
Go out Winchester Road to Riverton Road and turn left. Travel until it becomes (turn right) Macon Lane and follow that north for just over two miles and look to your right upon the bank of the road at the two stones which may be covered in brush at times when no one clears them as I did. It is between a white graveled turnoff into a field and a utility pole. You will see the concrete & rocks set in place to keep the grave assets from sliding down the embankment.
This is a clear image of the two stones standing on the bank of the road. A Rev. War Plaque is celebrating William Pettey's efforts here was set by the Hunts Spring National Association of the Daughters of the American Revolutionary War. It is set beside the rock wall facing the public. When I was here it did not seem to be very well anchored as the bolts appeared to be rusting away. If is fails the plaque will be found just below the stone of William Pettey down toward the ditch. Reset it on William Pettey's stone next time using brass fittings, not (rust) steel.
