My Great Great Grandfather Charles Reese fought the Creek Indians in the War 1814, under the command of Andrew Jackson. He was one of the Cherokee Indians who swam the Tallapoosa River and captured the Creeks canoes. He was awarded a fine rifle by James Madison. The old rifle is still I the family.
I hope he has someone lined up to carry on watching over the cemetery, the Indian purse and stories. It'd be great if someone would record him telling all he remembers of his family settling there.
It never stops being interesting when you see the stories of the families moving into Georgia. Some of my ancestors came out of Rowan County, NC, ended up in Talbot, Troup, Green, Hancock, Harris, and some to Alabama. One always wonder - did all these people know each other, became friends, etc, and some did marry and join families.
This is another wonderful tour of a historic, well-kept cemetery brought to us by Robert and his crew. It's amazing how much history is stored in these sacred places.
I migrate to youtube videos about history. I am really enjoying how you continue to add more local historians from the area vs channels that have university professors who 'learned' about an area's history. So many times we don't realize the wealth of history our own family and neighbors hold. If we would just take the time to chat.
Thanks I appreciate that. And this way we are also able to document the people and places that history would otherwise overlook, but I think are just as important as to an areas history but also our history as a whole.
There is a lot of rich history in Georgia, for all of you , for Mr Buckner, Dan, Joy and you too Robert for the new caretaker of the Old Byrd Farm 140 y.o. I love hearing these kinds of stories. Thank You!
Mike is a source of knowledge and wealth of historical information.There’s so much untold history that’s never taught or passed on to the new generations.Thank you.
I have an old family cemetery outside Lake Butler in north central Florida. Every year there is a family reunion where we clean the cemetery up then eat some great southern cooking
Just amazing! How rare it is to hear someone who knows so much of their family history, and cherishes it. I had no idea that those forts were connected by a road and that part of it still exists! Robert, also interesting history you shared. So much history in one video and in one place. All of this history impacts the fabric of a nation. Really enjoyed this!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍👍❣️❣️
This was an interesting adventure. For his family to be able to hold onto the family land through the depression and all of the environmental issues that have affected the south during that span is admirable. The pride they show is founded.
On my Mama's side, her ancestors came to middle GA Wilkinson, Pulaski, and Laurens Counties in the 1830s. Good to see these North GA folks sharing their family stories. Thank you for another great video.
11:55 - That looked like 1894 to me. That grave shelter makes me think of the Indian cemeteries in the far north, like Minnesota. They used grave houses, but they were much lower to the ground, probably the height of a dog house, or lower. Fascinating tour. I hope there's more coming. Thanks.
I truly hope someone documents all the history knowledge he has. As people get older and pass on we lose so much of our history. Most young people aren't interested, but as we get older we seem to want to know more about where we are from and the history of our families. Then there are people like me. I was adopted at 3 yo. I'm 62 now. I barely know anything about my birth families. Both biological parents have passed. And ones I've met know nothing about me or that I ever existed. Until I run into an older person who remembers. People please get to know your history. One day someone like me will really want to know. Thanks for sharing with us
Very Very Interesting, and thank you Mr. Buckner for sharing so much of your own personal family history, a lot ot be proud of in all the history that you carry.
Totally interesting. My ancestors also on mother's side came from England to St, Kitts, then to Va.& then to Wilkes, Washington & Lincoln Cty's Ga [Bounty Grants from service in Rev War] & then west to Upson Cty Ga [buried there, B. 1782 Wilkes Cty buried in Upson Cty in 1849 w/War of 1812 marker ie 4th gen grandfather] from drawing land lots bc of serving in War of 1812 & also to Cobb Cty Ga. in 1832 land lots [ B, 1802 Lincoln Cty, buried Cobb Cty 1866 3rd gen grandfather].
I enjoy all of Sidesteps videos but especially when you actually have family like on this video . I highly praise this family for having 8 generations that will buried there.
I believe Martha Buckner is founder of the Buckner Home for Children located all over Texas if not the whole nation. Ver large organization doing good work!!
I posted a link that gives history of Buckner children's homes in Texas. Not related to Buckners in Georgia. I'm from Texas and wanted to know origin of Buckner, so I googled it.
What a plethora of information! That’s how I grew up… fast forward… most are now cremated and no trace.! It’s importance that we keep history alive! Thank you for sharing! Such history that would be . Otherwise unknown!
As much as I enjoy your locating and researching lost cemeteries, I absolutely adored this episode. It is so great to see younger and older generations being so passionate about family history. I'm sure Mr. Butler's children and grandchilden will ensure that love and care will continue for the cemetery and their property.
Those grave shelters came from Creek Indian tradition. There are several in Upson and Meriwether county cemeteries. Many settlers have an indian ancestor, and likely for the person in this grave.
I have Buckner’s in my ancestry … interesting enough my direct paternal 3d great grandparents immigrated to Georgia from Rowan County, NC finally settling in the Dade County, GA/DeKalb & Cherokee County, AL area.
The area in Talbot County, GA down the road from Mike Buckner is known as the Hart's District. In fact, it's Hart ancestros in both Mr. Mike and I's family tree that we share. Maybe some of your Buckners and Harts actually are connected as the Fall Line path from the Carolina's through Georgia and on to Alabama was not uncommon in the late 1800s. Would be neat if you could figure it out!
Very cool! We don't have that old graves in Norway. Most old graves have been dug up and thrown away because you have to pay to keep a grave. If no one pays for it then it gets taken away
Great video! I enjoy learning about the earlier. Many veterans of the Revolutionary War were paid with bounty land in GA. My 7th g.grandfather had land in that part of Georgia. His sons fought in the Creek Indian War in Steele's Dragoons and moved to Monroe County AL after the war.
What a blessing to pass on your kinsfolks . Hope they cheerish these property . I remember similar stories from my grandparents .i loved hearing their stories . Grandkids just take of the opportunity to listen their grandparents
My Relatives on my dad's side are all from Georgia...My dad was born in Statenville Georgia near the Florida-Georgia line...I was born in Jasper Florida a few miles from where my dad was born...I believe the area around there is known as the Piney Woods...When my dad was still alive we would go to all our family cemeteries and I thought it was so cool to see my ancestors...Love your show...
My mother's earliest ancestor came to Canada in 1533 and my faather's earliest ancestor came to Canada in 1577. I appreciate celebrating families no matter who or where, but, even the pilgrims were newcomers when it comes to History of the Americas.
I just clicked on a recommended video. The name of the channel is “The Boring Channel”. In this particular episode, the lovely gentleman cleans up an overgrown cemetery. Just look for the pink mower!! ❤ Episode: “FARMER WAS SHOCKED….”
Robert!!! Awesome video but I wanna see that old road! I KNOW you are making a video of that old road. You would not pass up that opportunity . Thumbs up!
This is the second video where someone has mentioned their kin was from very close to where I live in NC. It makes the history even more real and relevant watching the videos.
Another great video with Mr. Mike Buckner! And more to come!

What a terrific old gentleman-and I love that he came out to talk to us in his “work clothes.”
Farmers are still the heart of America!!

Wow!
That's Amazing...😮
Mr Buckner is so interesting
I hope he has someone lined up to carry on watching over the cemetery, the Indian purse and stories. It'd be great if someone would record him telling all he remembers of his family settling there.
Yes it a must to get him a doc.. for a 100 years from now
Wiley Buckner. What a wonderful name. Sounds like a character in a novel.
It never stops being interesting when you see the stories of the families moving into Georgia.

A great history lesson of those areas of Georgia. These men are walking history books!! Thank you for sharing, Robert!
Thank you I had forgotten some of this and I will like to thank all of you for this God bless all of you 🙏❤️🌹
Mike did an excellent job sharing history. He really knows his family's history and was very interesting to watch.
It's a treat to listen to such knowledgeable & articulate people.

Never long enough. I could listen for hours. Thank you for sharing this information.
Thank you! And more adventures with Mike Buckner to come!
Very interesting ,still learning at 65.😊

Beautiful family and proud Confederate legacy ❤
Thank you very much all of you for your historical information. Can never get enough of it, and in the end, anyone's history belongs to us all.
Very cool video. That's great how much history his family has.

You are keeping history alive.
Cemeteries can tell us so much history about an area

Considering I enjoy walking through cemeteries and historical places, I thoroughly enjoyed that.
I absolutely love this video!!! Such knowledge is key to the future of our nation. We cannot forget our roots as Americans.
Thanks so much!!

What a plethora of information! That’s how I grew up… fast forward… most are now cremated and no trace.! It’s importance that we keep history alive! Thank you for sharing! Such history that would be . Otherwise unknown!
I love how he still wears his ole overalls and Ben the women can’t afford pants without the holes in them and sleeves in their shirts!
Had to go to Columbus to find a wife.😂 That was cute. Was not implying anything else. Just was funny to me.
😂😅
Well … if you didn’t after family being here that long you may just be marrying family 😅
Yep. Otherwise there'd be no fork in the family tree.
As much as I enjoy your locating and researching lost cemeteries, I absolutely adored this episode. It is so great to see younger and older generations being so passionate about family history. I'm sure Mr. Butler's children and grandchilden will ensure that love and care will continue for the cemetery and their property.

That’s such a strange idea to me 🤯
Keep 'em comin'. Interesting history of families and areas
Wow thank you, Robert . That was very interesting. Someone should record all his information before it’s gone for good. Donna Michigan
Wow how much history so nice to here how people are will to save it .Thanks for sharing with us take care.
More Mike Buckner!
That is so interesting now I have to crack open history channel and do some research. Thank you for sharing
Great video! I enjoy learning about the earlier. Many veterans of the Revolutionary War were paid with bounty land in GA. My 7th g.grandfather had land in that part of Georgia. His sons fought in the Creek Indian War in Steele's Dragoons and moved to Monroe County AL after the war.
great living piece of history, glad you documented it Robert, there's is so much great history in your area
Fascinating history!
How wonderful of an adventure
Thank you for another fantastic video!! 🪦💐
What a blessing to pass on your kinsfolks . Hope they cheerish these property . I remember similar stories from my grandparents .i loved hearing their stories . Grandkids just take of the opportunity to listen their grandparents
Another interesting video! I could watch these videos all day. I love the family histories in so many of your videos.
These videos are so important.
Well done I really enjoyed the family history and the American History
Most Amazing information is here many families have it in this video 🧐🔍✊🔦
Gosh, that was fascinating.....thank you!
History is more alive when you have a family member tell the family history. What are the possibilities that the Buckner I served with is related?
Fantastic video. So much history. Love from Australia. Stay safe. Love you all. Xx❤❤
A fascinating video and what a family! Trace your ancestors back that far? That’s incredible!
If you are up in North Ga, visit skme of the grave yards with slot and tab graves. They are interesting.
My Relatives on my dad's side are all from Georgia...My dad was born in Statenville Georgia near the Florida-Georgia line...I was born in Jasper Florida a few miles from where my dad was born...I believe the area around there is known as the Piney Woods...When my dad was still alive we would go to all our family cemeteries and I thought it was so cool to see my ancestors...Love your show...

I just clicked on a recommended video. The name of the channel is “The Boring Channel”.
In this particular episode, the lovely gentleman cleans up an overgrown cemetery.
Just look for the pink mower!! ❤
Episode: “FARMER WAS SHOCKED….”
Enjoyed the video!
Robert!!! Awesome video but I wanna see that old road! I KNOW you are making a video of that old road. You would not pass up that opportunity . Thumbs up!
Hoping to film some of that in the future, this was a full day already - and more videos filmed this day still to come!
Awesome video, thanks
Great great video!!
Loved this!
This is the second video where someone has mentioned their kin was from very close to where I live in NC. It makes the history even more real and relevant watching the videos.
I always wondered what taxes were on land wealthy people in those days.
Stories seem to sound more interesting when the person telling it has a southern accent in my opinion 😊
A lot of those stones had clubs the person was affiliated like Oddfellows, Masonic Lodge, etc. They were in this area at least.
I will never know my history.....I was adopted. Star shaped forts were abundant in Europe.
wonderfull
So interesting.
So interesting!
Ye are the ones to tell Congress all the resources come from the land, no matter how much money you print or people you have.
Seems like a lot of people came from the Carolinas to Georgia. Westward expansion.
keeping up with the time's.
I have some Butler's in my family! I heard him(the man in the coveralls mention the last name Butler's)
wow this is amazing video
