My mother's side of the family was Reese. My great, great grandfather was Charles Reese, a member of the Cherokees in Chickamauga, Walker County GA. He had 5 wives and many children. I wonder if these Reese are related. I noticed the Reese name appears a lot in GA. Charles spoke both English and the Cherokee. A member of the Congregationalist Churche A mission to the Cherokee Nation.
I traced my GGG to Clark County Kentucky born 1801. Took me 4 years to find his father and what did I find? The man's first name was ORIGINAL. Original Young was his name 😀😁😂😃
So in Georgia, Mobley is said with a short o like ah in South Carolina it is said with a long o like oh. Speech is a funny thing. Enjoying your burying grounds exploration. Thanks Robert & Robert.
From the North originally-(lived down South much longer tho)- but Mobley up North was a long O sound...it is funny how each part of the country pronounces words differently.
Wonderment always, about who a name and a time represents on a tombstone. On this particular episode the doctor sparks many questions. To have lived in that time, where did he receive his training? What was practicing medicine like in his time? How did such a young man die? A contracted disease from a patient? All unanswered questions, more secrets loss to time.
Thanks for another fantastic video. Just love that graveyard. So old and beautiful. Some of those epitaphs are so moving. Thanks for the share. S please stay safe and take care
On the child's grave, maybe the date at the bottom is talking of 1983, as in they added the layer of concrete over the stone that might have been weathering away.
Watching you guys lead me to Georgia to find my 3 great grandparents - from Friendship to Ft Valley to Cave Spring and finally Sylvester I have my ancestors found! Love watching you both!
Regarding the pile of rocks; I have a book about early graves and it says that people piled lots of rocks on a grave to deter animals and grave robbers. So that might be a grave or like you said that the field stones were piled there
The earliest Graves probably had no one who could carve or chisel inscriptions on a Tombstone. No marble or concrete. Maybe wooden tablets which would rot away in a short time, so Fieldstones were the obvious choice at hand.
Hey, Robert and Robert ! Can’t wait for Part 3 ! I did notice a cemetery across the road. Could they have built the highway straight through the middle of one cemetery ? Could help explain the missing stones for unmarked graves.
I noticed bouquets on those collapsed boxes. Someone put them there. Does someone know who is buried there or did they just place flowers because they could? A big pile of stones on top of a grave. Were they afraid the dead person would rise again?
Robert and Robert love the videos Hope you are feeling better. I wish people would make it a project to clean headstones and keep them mowed.Give these poor souls respect.Robert please take care of yourself 🙏🙏
Do you guys ever think about getting some ground penetrating radar to scan places like these when you come across them? I'm sure it's not cheap,. Or maybe not possible? But just a thought.
Very interesting Cemetery. The way that road is got me wondering , if they cut the road through the Cemetery not realizing the field stones were grave markers and just piled them up .Looking forward to part 3 .Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤
most graves in the 1840s were shallow because it was so hard to dig through the hard Georgia clay. so they would stack field stones that were pulled up by there plows on top of the graves which served two purposes it got the stones out of there crop fields and it discouraged animals from digging up the graves
Hello guys from croatia love to see you how are you love this video love you verry much love the old historry thank you for that love all you doing love to you
Great, as always. I've never seen stacked stone graves or brick graves like those up here in the North. That's so sad about the field stones being gathered up and thrown in a pile. That bothers me. Somewhere I have visited a very historic cemetery in which all the foot stones were gathered up and placed along the back of the cemetery. That made me mad.
Sometimes with unmarked graves, new graves could be unintentionally be cut in the ground, I have 👀 brick box tombs have marble top with dates of deceased.
Does the cemetery go back in the woods or is it all contained in the clearing? There is a cemetery and church identical to this in Berry, AL. The road goes through the middle of the graveyard, the church is at one end, & there are unmarked graves. I don't remember the dates on the graves. It is still an active church and cemetery. I have in-laws buried there.
Robert, on those fallen false crypts I have found in restoring an old pioneer cemetery in Ohio, is that when the coffin deteriorate the stones or bricks or slab will be pulled in these what you think is the dedication of a grave is not what really happen they nave use footing to prevent that from happing.
Hope you're feeling better. My grandson who lives with me got tested yesterday so I am self isolating away from them, he has lost taste, coughing and sneezing feels terrible. This sucks. He and his 2 brothers had recently returned to school in class. A boy in his class has it.
@@marypettitt9150 Good news, my grandsons c19 test came back negative! I went and got my shingles vaccination today, then second in 2 months. Two big worries off my mind. I'm clear to go meet with my Dr tomorrow about kidney disease information. My new diet doesn't sound like much fun but what ever I have to do, I will.
@TXplowgirl I understand that but what I am saying is that they will continue to deteriorate causing them to be swallowed by the earth surrounding them. By preserving them I’m asking can’t they be protected from the elements to stop further erosion. I also realize this may not be practicable for all these graves but preserving as much of our history as possible is a good thing.
@@lindadoran6062 I have seen it on another TH-cam channel. The guy cleaned a marble headstone. Its a solution made for cleaning headstones without damadging them. I cant find it in my country though. But you need permission from the family or from the caretaker to use it.
I'm not sure other than as a fancy grave. The grave history I have read some people would put a large stone/grave cover on the grave to keep the spirits contained and not wandering around. Cemetery history can be fascinating.
You guys, when you can't read the gravestone, you take just a cheap bag of flour, and rub it into the letters. It doesn't hurt the stone and the next time it rains, it gets washed off.
We go with a harmless approach, light only. Flour is extremely frowned upon in the preservation world: Flour is harmful because it can penetrate into small pores of the stone, and when wet, the flour will swell and can cause flaking of the stone. Also, it is food for micro-organisms that can then live and grow in the stone, causing expansion and cracking.

The epitaph on Dr. Wilkinsons headstone "Requiescat in pace" is Latin for Rest in peace.
Yup. Can confirm. Source: dude who has taken some college-level Latin.
You should know it robert
Omagosh....these videos are why I fell in love with this channel...and of course now the old Byrd farm videos can't be missed either...❤❤

Wow - great family history - so interesting.
The two Roberts are the best!

That's so cool...
That's an original name 😁
Sorry, gotcha beat. I found a wife of the way back cousin who married a lady named Money Box. Seriously. Not kidding.
I have an an ancestor named Eleven. Guess his mom ran out of names 🤣 she had many children 🤣

Hello Robert hope your feeling better and the other Robert stay well. Looking forward to the next episode

The fragility of life cannot be overstated.

Thank you so much for sharing the History of the cemetery , please be safe out there and God bless you and your family and friends
Happy Saturday morning guys. God bless all victims of 9/11.
Very interesting you two. Thank you always appreciate the cometary on historical information.
Love your walks to the past..seems they tore the cemetery apart for the road..thats just not right!!
I have to agree with you Robert about the stones. I’m sure that’s what they did, stones they found just stack them up. Anxious to see part 2. ♥️😊👍👍
Watching you guys lead me to Georgia to find my 3 great grandparents - from Friendship to Ft Valley to Cave Spring and finally Sylvester I have my ancestors found! Love watching you both!
Thank you for taking us along!💖
It’s much better this time Robert. Thanks 😀
Incredible video
Really enjoy seeing all these cemetery videos⛪🪦🪦🪦
Very interesting! My late mother was related to the Daniel family.
Glad your feeling better 😊 it's really annoying to be sick with anything anytime of our busy lifes..rock on and keep moving forward...
Wilkinson tombstone: "Resquiescat in pace"; Latin for rest in peace.
Thanku for sharing that! I appreciated it...
On the doctors obelisk, it says when I stand before thy I AM (that is God the father who calls himself I AM.)
Looking forward to Part 3. Do you ever get tearful reading the headstones, especially the verse ones?
Regarding the pile of rocks; I have a book about early graves and it says that people piled lots of rocks on a grave to deter animals and grave robbers. So that might be a grave or like you said that the field stones were piled there
The earliest Graves probably had no one who could carve or chisel inscriptions on a Tombstone. No marble or concrete. Maybe wooden tablets which would rot away in a short time, so Fieldstones were the obvious choice at hand.
Roberts a lot of those markers were also probably damaged during the war to.
The cemetery looks well cared for thank you
Very interesting!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! Pat
Thank you, gentlemen. Always interesting and thoughtful.
Hey, Robert and Robert ! Can’t wait for Part 3 !
I did notice a cemetery across the road. Could they have built the highway straight through the middle of one cemetery ? Could help explain the missing stones for unmarked graves.
NaeNae ....it sure does look that way, for sure...
@@peggyharris3301 I’m glad you agree ! 😊
I was going to say the same thing. Why would graves be placed at an angle? That road was plowed right through!
@@bunnymomjulie6719 My thoughts exactly !
Much better than yesterdays. Hope your feeling better.
Omg! Thank you for reposting with a normal lens. This was great! Can’t wait for more videos!!
Thank you. Interesting video. Best wishes from Tennessee.
I live in Saltville Virginia I love going to graveyards and reading the stones I love your videos please keep making more
Another fantastic Cemetery tour
Mobley! Love dad!
I noticed bouquets on those collapsed boxes. Someone put them there. Does someone know who is buried there or did they just place flowers because they could? A big pile of stones on top of a grave. Were they afraid the dead person would rise again?
That epitaph being read at 8:20 is good stuff! Amen!
Thank you!
Robert and Robert love the videos Hope you are feeling better. I wish people would make it a project to clean headstones and keep them mowed.Give these poor souls respect.Robert please take care of yourself 🙏🙏
The inscription on A. M. Wilkinson, M.D. at 7:58 is "Requiescat in Pace," which is Latin for "May he/she rest in peace."
Do you guys ever think about getting some ground penetrating radar to scan places like these when you come across them? I'm sure it's not cheap,. Or maybe not possible? But just a thought.
Where would 1 find 1 of them?
The words on the gravestone for Dr. Wilkerson which you could not read is latin for rest in peace.
Great watching New Zealand

That quote for the doctor was in Latin meaning Rest in Peace
requiescat in pace means '''rest in peace'' in latin (12 yrs catholic school)
I wonder if GPR was ever applies to identify unmarked internments? Yjay will fill out the rows. Maybe find sunken headstones ad field stones.
Do you think the stacked stones were for decoration or was there a concern about grave robbers?
Robert, on those fallen false crypts I have found in restoring an old pioneer cemetery in Ohio, is that when the coffin deteriorate the stones or bricks or slab will be pulled in these what you think is the dedication of a grave is not what really happen they nave use footing to prevent that from happing.

Very much enjoyed this video Both Roberts and am wondering do you think there was graves where the road is now Great find and Great video Thankyou
Several people have asked the same...I think you guys are right...
Are the graves in line on both sides of the road?
Did anyone else hear a child's voice at 12:30?
I heard it
Yeah. Heard another voice around 12:35
Is the cemetery across the street also part of that one?
What are the bright white spots on the gravestones?
✝️😔🇺🇸
That tombstone said Requiescat In Pace which means Rest In Peace
Who is that talking starting at 12:26?
What purpose and why did people build the field stone false crypt?
These graves will gone in another 100 years. Is there any why to preserve them before they vanish?
@TXplowgirl I understand that but what I am saying is that they will continue to deteriorate causing them to be swallowed by the earth surrounding them. By preserving them I’m asking can’t they be protected from the elements to stop further erosion. I also realize this may not be practicable for all these graves but preserving as much of our history as possible is a good thing.
I Love your videos. This really interests me. Maybe if you had the stuff for a rubbing you could read them better. Can't wait for #3 part. lean on God
👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Robert what is all that black stuff on the headstones? Looks a bit like someone painted them black. Or, is it algae?
Algae
@@AdventuresIntoHistory -- Ok thanks.
❣️🌼🌼❣️
Requiescat in Pace pronunciation: Wreck we as cat in potch a
Wow. Imagine if those headstones get cleaned up with D2 solution. They would be more readable and....cleaner.
What's D2 Solution? Is it ok for marble headstones?
@@lindadoran6062 I have seen it on another TH-cam channel. The guy cleaned a marble headstone. Its a solution made for cleaning headstones without damadging them. I cant find it in my country though. But you need permission from the family or from the caretaker to use it.
@@oliverpetroski4205 thank you
@@lindadoran6062 You are welcome.
Why were the false crypts built if the remains are actually buried?
I'm not sure other than as a fancy grave. The grave history I have read some people would put a large stone/grave cover on the grave to keep the spirits contained and not wandering around. Cemetery history can be fascinating.
Requiescat in Pacem Latin for Rest in Peace
Please keep up the great on working on the old cemeteries great job
Minute th-cam.com/video/W4ORCi3XCds/w-d-xo.html#t=8m02s it says: Requiescat in pace.
Place a thin piece of paper over the words and rub a pencil over it. Then you can read the words.
Hi
Egyptians would call them Mastaba's.
Settlers.
You guys, when you can't read the gravestone, you take just a cheap bag of flour, and rub it into the letters. It doesn't hurt the stone and the next time it rains, it gets washed off.
We go with a harmless approach, light only.
Flour is extremely frowned upon in the preservation world:
Flour is harmful because it can penetrate into small pores of the stone, and when wet, the flour will swell and can cause flaking of the stone. Also, it is food for micro-organisms that can then live and grow in the stone, causing expansion and cracking.
Lord have mercy other Robert lol. Calm down. Lol mob mob sounds the same lol

Can anyone be any more rude correcting MOBLEY!! Relax, dude, I've heard it pronounced the other way.
It’s a running joke because I always say it the wrong way.
