    I found this quote in a document (1995) about the history of Maple Hill Cemetery in Huntsville, Alabama. “Cemeteries give us information about land valued and held sacred by early town founders, the funerary art, family and cultural burial traditions, available materials, craftsmanship, ornamental plantings, birth and death records, and much more. Unlike historic buildings that generally undergo alterations over the years, cemeteries are the most unchanged physical land­ scapes from our past." - Dr. Gregory Jeane of Samford University.

    So many of our past generations burial spots are lost. Many during the wars, were buried in unmarked tombs. Other's were too poor for a tomb stone, and are lost forever in time. I would love to know the names and location of this cemetery. As a genealogy and history buff, this fascinates me! Thank you for hunting this one down!

    I LOVE and so enjoy when Mr. Dan and Scott are with you when looking for forgotten cemeteries and old homesteads. The Foundation for the house that used to be there, way back when, was a pretty good sized home. A Lot of times, depending on the size of property, families had a personal family cemetery on their property, as well usually up on a hill .Finding that cute small turtle was nice and that you left it alone 🙂Good to remember, as Dan stated at finding the last one, as with this one, find the homestead first and then go west, and there the cemetery should be as well. Wondering, would that be the same in most homestead areas, with family cemeteries to attached to them. Wondering IF records for the ones that lived there, would also have recorded the people buried there,?? Those were some mighty large rocks! Will be interesting to find out whose property that was, and whom might be buried out there just west of the house. Question, would land maps ONLY have the names of OWNERS of property??
    just thinking to any farm land that my great grandfather and his father might of had in Tennessee.. Will have to see if I can find anything online...thank you for yet another interesting video.

    In New England the stone walls were built by natives and slaves. They find oxen shoes all over the place so I would think they used the oxen to move the stones. Time-frame wise there were alot of farmers that still used oxen, when those stones would have been placed. Whether for a cemetery fence or a home foundation.

    Would be interesting to research the family history. Possibly all died in an epidemic? Family was buried and home abandoned. Outside graves maybe slaves? It sounds like the county records there are intact. Some of the courthouses burned back before 1900 and all records were lost. My sister got stuck on researching some of our family. They left Henry County in early 1860's to come to Texas, along with several other families. My great-grandfather was born in Georgia in 1848, but by 1863, they were in Texas, as his youngest siblings were born here. At the 150 year anniversary of the Cornett church (est 1865), each of the founding families gave their family histories. Betts, Hampton, McCord, Cornett families all came from Georgia around the same time.

    Someone else discussed the endless stone walls everywhere here in New England; our property was part of a massive farm property originally owned by our town's oldest family (1680) and has the original walls along it. Many of the stones are truly massive (mostly moved by oxen to clear fields as was mentioned) but around here that's not at all a unique sight, it was constantly done here starting over 300 years ago. If people want to or need to move big rocks they'll find a way!

    That's so cool. I'm glad you actually found it. I was beginning to wonder if you would.
    Down in Salem County, NJ, several years ago the state took an early to mid 1700s farmstead and made a state park out of it. The house was a brick house from 1781. They put a chain link fence around it and no-trespassing signs. But the vandals broke in and destroyed the inside of the house, and also broke a hole in one wall. Anyway on one visit my friends and I found the family burial ground in the woods. It was a grave from 1759 which was enclosed in a brick wall with no gate, in 1908 by a direct descendant of the deceased. Also it was restored in 1972 by a direct descendant. The gravestone is actually embedded in the brick wall. The whole thing is in excellent condition. There are two large non-native trees growing inside the wall too, which is how we found the cemetery.

    I really enjoy your videos. You can get an amazing amount of family and settlement history from cemeteries and I am glad you share with arm-chair historians like myself. My people were from Greensboro GA and I hope to visit the town one day. Their home was burned by Sherman's Army and I know they had a family cemetery. Exactly where in/near Greensboro I do not know. Thanks to your videos I am learning how to go about the process. Would love to see follow-up on this video! Thank you for all you do!
