Thank you for opening this video with scripture. Such a poignant reminder from the Word of God as to us as mortals. These people whose graves you find led full lives. Including the slaves whose graves haven't been found but we can safely assume are buried on Mr. Hall's property. Great detective work! You all are the best.🏆 Blessings to you and your families.❤️
Robert you are doing a great job not forgetting the past I hope people should take note history is what make us understand the life we all live thank you robert
Robert I am Helen Hall Wyatt 84 years old. I have a you tube channel. Helen Wyatt in Ga. I enjoy your channel. My grandfather was William Shadrack Hall date of 3 -27- 1883. My Grandfather was call (Shade) Hall. His wife was Manie Kea Hall (2 .13 1883 From Adrian Ga. My grandfather had 2 or 3 brothers that was in the war when it was over they had walk back home to Adrian Ga. Some did not come back they settle in Fla some where around there. I have photos of My great grandfathers and great grand mothers graves outside of Adrian I took the photos of them. Thank you for your videos I enjoy them. Blessing from Helen in Ga.
I rarely comment but just have to say how much I enjoy this channel. Those of us that love history appreciate the time and "detective" work that you invest in trying to uncover the long forgotten. It is so fascinating to think of the plantation homes and the people that disappeared into history. Thank you for returning to this location and your efforts to know who the people are that are buried there. May they rest in peace.- Excellent video.
That part of Psalm 103 is indeed sobering. But read the rest of it and be happy. In His mercy and love for us and His creation, our holy God sent Christ to pay the price of our sin on the Cross and thus provide forgiveness for all who seek Him. Then, to top it all off, His Resurrection defeated death and gives His believers life forever with Him and each other in His restored, healed creation. Get to the Cross, sincerely repent and turn from sin, grab Christ and make Him King of your life and live for Him. You'll never regret it! I know what He's done for me and He can do the same for all those who believe. He knows when the tiniest of sparrows falls, He will restore creation, and His mercy is great. Prayers for all and have a blessed day.
Sir thankyou for your service your dedacation your time your bravery your loyalty your honesty your trust your trust your faithfulness again thankyou for your service from a greatful nation welcome home sir were glad to see yea
Dang! An out of the park homerun on this one!!!!! I knew you guys would find out who was buried here. I hope something can be erected for the Civil War Veterans. Like Scott said, those guys were beyond tough, no matter what side they were on. They deserve to have their service recognized and something by their resting places put for the next people that find their graves. Thank you so much for taking us on your trip! Looking forward to the next one!
I agree. There needs to be a registry where ppl like Robert & Scott can record the pieces of puzzles as they find them in 2022, with disclaimers, of course. There are ppl like me who'd love to find even a speculative inkling regarding where our forebears lived and are buried other than the graves we easily locate in the more civilized population centers. In my case all I've heard is "vicinity of Atlanta". I can't tell you how many ppl repeat that exact same narrative. I hear it so often I have to restrain myself from laughing. It's not as if I think it's not true, but I almost throw up my hands and reply, "Is there anybody who wasn't from the vicinity of Atlanta? " For decades I assumed that oral family history was distorted by each person who kept and passed down family stories - but in 2011 I found (through Find-a-Grave) a distant cousin who remembered our shared relatives accounts from three gens prior exactly as I had been told them by my aunt born in 1909. I'm from a long line of cattlemen, horsebreeders and farmers who pioneered their way from 1640 in VA, were in NC for a generation or two then on to GA until 1865. They moved on to TX after the CW. I'd like to see and touch the GA dirt my family spent some time on.
I often wonder if there may be ancestors looking for any of these sites where people are, Have you heard of find a grave? I go out when someone posts that they are looking for loved ones, but some of these locations may not be registered, I love that you put the information on your site. But for actually registering these people there would need to be a location. Seems that these wouldn't be able to be found by just anyone.
Amazing stuff. First, thank you for your service. Second, I can’t imagine a 16 year old TODAY fighting a war. It’s mind boggling to think about what these boys went through
I have been watching the Playlist for Roughedge. In the video '96 year old man goes back to vist his family cemetery', there is a grave next to James T Crawford (born around 1777). The grave headstone, if I heard Robert correctly, was Thomas T or H Hall. I wonder if he could be related to the Halls in this video, but from an earlier time period?
I know from doing family research on my late husbands side. After the war the Lee's went home only to find things gone or their mental health not letting them return. They dropped from society and only a family member to check on them. Their plantations were divided out counties grew and lands were taken for new counties. Maybe the neighboring county had some of the Halls records. Thank you for sharing very interesting
Thank you, Robert and Scott for researching and following up on the first video you did. Thanks to Dan for his excellent contributions, too. I genuinely enjoy your videos.
Great video, as always! ❤ Being a researcher in my “spare” time, I love this so much! According to the little research I did, (for example, on the 1860 Census that has both William Halls on it), William Hall (father), was born about 1799 (other censuses show he was born about 1801-1802), Nancy (his wife, daughter of William & Frances Stratham) was born about 1807-1808 & they had, what seem to be, 2 of their children (John T & Emily C) living with them. On the property next to them, lived William Hall (born about 1818 - another census shows his birth year around 1822) with his wife, Eveline (born about 1822 - another census shows her birth year around 1833), with their 8 children.
Robert and Scott thank you for all the research and bring us back to the location. I wonder if the gate to the cemetery was added later? The design of the gate is different from the fencing.
Hello. History of families is interesting. I am still on Ancestry finding ancestors. I had found that my great-grandfather fought in the Civil War for the Union, in many major battles. H was wounded when at Peachtree Creek Georgia, and he received a military discharge. My great-grandmother, whom I still remember, was the last surviving widow of a Civil War veteran in the city of Yonker New York. She died in 1953, and my great-grandfather died in 1891. I have been absolutely amazed at all that I have found out so far about my family. Thank you...
I really enjoy your love for the history of your area and the genealogy information your provide. I have always been a history nut and like to learn things about other areas. My relatives lived on a farm in rural Wisconsin and they had several dips in the ground that my cousins and I use to play in. Looking back, they could have been old graves that collapsed in, because we were always tripping over large stones around the "trenches". The land has since been sold, so I can't go back, but it would be interesting to find out who they belonged to.
Those dips may well have been graves but I'm fairly certain that they didn't belong to your relatives. You children wouldn't have been allowed to 'disrespect the dead' like that! However, it sure sounds like a European/American family lived on the property before them. Most Native graves are built very differently. There's also the persistent rumor that the Vikings made their way through that area too and their graves were definitely marked! You can't go back, but you may be able to look up land records for the area. That may answer your questions at least!
Very interesting that you found out more on the mystery cemetery! When I'm out antique shopping I always look at the book sections to see if there may be books of areas that I have family ties to. I'm seriously thinking about purchasing any books that I find and start my own library, you just never know when one of those old books holds a key to lost information.
This is fascinating to me because it calls to mind my own searches for long lost family cemeteries and unmarked graves and markers that are often illedgible. I think it’s wonderful you’ve documented these places and hope that more clues turn up that shed light on the full story of what happened here, such as an old newspaper account of diary/journal of someone who knew them. Great work guys!!!
It's very satisfying to piece the history together. You may not have all the answers, but what you found out will be the foundation for others. Thank you for your service, Scott.
My records show William Riley Hall born 1802. He married twice. (Nancy Statham and Mary Evans). The oldest wife (Mary Evans) born 1802. According to my records William and Mary were 16 years old when William T. was born.
Are you going to go back later with a group of people to provide a Community Service to clean up the enclosed, William T Hall Planatation Cemetery? That would make a fantastic video to add to your collection. Excellent research by the way. Extremely interesting stories and info on the Hall family.
Let me first just say, Amazing!!! This video was so good Robert 👍. I could definitely imagine a big beautiful plantation house sitting there and what life would have been like at that time. Definitely makes me curious as to how William R and Nancy passed. I just loved this video. Thank you to Scott for his research and for his service to our great country. Can't wait to learn more about this family.
I've been researching my family tree and the number of people who did not survive the Civil War is astounding. One family lost all their sons except 2 -one had his legs blown off and his brother had to help him home and was discharged to do that. Yankee prisons weren't a picnic despite the all the attention Andersonville gets. Disease was a huge killer on both sides.
I love how people ask Robert if he’s going to organize cemetery cleanup committees. I used to be head of an HOA (volunteer positions), and people always wanted us to “do something” about X. When we’d say, “What a great idea! You can head up that committee,” they couldn’t get away fast enough, 😂. If you want something done that is totally voluntary, head it up yourself, people!
What an exciting find. Thank you for going back to the other cemetery and making it easier for us to connect the dots. You guys do an amazing job at solving the mysteries. Robert you are becoming quite the Historian in your own right! Keep the history coming 💚
Good stuff today, Robert and Scott. The thing about research and aligning dates is reaching a point at which you can say, "there is a reasonable probability."
I'd say we nailed it. We have the receipts. Districts and Land Lots recorded in the county courthouse date the purchases and later the sales of William R. and William T. Hall's estates. Along with census and obits, the dates and locations all match up.
I like how Scott put into perspective how the house would have looked in details like paint etc. compared to Tara. Would love to see that spot back in time. Wish there was a picture but unfortunately hardly any pictures are of these places. Thanks for taking us there. I watched this video before but had to rewatch it.
Wow you guys are awesome!!! I love how you dig deep for history that has been long forgotten. I do the same thing out here in Virginia around long gone plantation sites. And trust me.....we have A LOT OF THEM!! And researching the history on some of them it's like finding a needle in a haystack! Because many county clerk buildings and courthouses were burned down during the civil War, so the only records that are left are little bits and pieces of information here and there and what you might be able to glean from distant family members. Keep doing what you're doing cuz it's a noble cause! And even if it feels like a thankless job..... Believe me WE THANK YOU!!!! 👏💯
I love your videos,and that you found out who is buried there.I also love that your friend started out the video with scripture.The research,and history ,you have researched is awesome.The work you do for your listeners is great.
Love your cemetery videos because of the history you uncover and the graves you also uncover which may seriously help some people with genealogy issues. Bless you. I know how much research, time, and travel that you put into this.
Research is very much of a part of the adventure, and this one, a great job in putting all the pieces together from various resources! Very interesting how it all fits together, timelines, location, graves and what is left of the plantation house. Excellent!! 👍👍
Fascinating! Thrilled that you found some answers to the mystery. Big thanks to Scott for digging deeper into the history. Can’t say it enough at how much these videos mean to me. Those of you who have been born n raised in Georgia have been blessed with wonderful history. I hang on to every word that you speak about those who have gone on to a far better place. Fascinating that it is. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍
i watch this and a flood of thoughts bear to mind. robert i've watched you for years with that house you are so carefully repairing. my grandfather's uncle died serving in the civil war. we still have our two story greek revival house built between 1840 and 1850. i live there, it is attached to a 1710 house i live there too, it is the same building. i truly am sorry that your losses were so big. if you come ti connecticut, i will give you a tour. best wishes from ball-acre farm.
I came across this chanel and find it so interesting. I really enjoy seeing the old cemetaries. It's a shame that they are not taken care of by someone. Really sad.
Absalom Hall was the father of William Riley Hall . Absalom had a child named George Lily Hall. And had a Child Named George, Thomas, William, Henry, and more. He had a plantation in Alabama and slavery was awful. Many Halls were farmers or plantation owners. Others were judges, preachers, and salesman Try Alabama Halls, it leads you to many Halls.
So interesting!! Love history and I’m so happy you both are recording this early settlers home and life. Maybe one day you will come across the slave cemetery. Keep up the wonderful work your doing
Very nice video, great story of the family history. Thanks for bringing back their memory and sharing with us. Recent years of internet, DNA, family tree research , cemetery records and enabled the merging of so much historical records. My own family is fortunate to have a vast amount of family tree and history.
Have so enjoyed your videos. One question I have is how did Mrs Hall live while here husband was away in war. And the war all around the plantation. Hard times back then.
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. Bringing out the past history. May the Lord bless you and protect you and your friends out exploring
Thank you very much for going back. That was wonderful. Really enjoyed it, wish you would carry a metal detector as they are high-tech nowadays and not high-dollar. You do not have to have an expensive one as they do the same thing as the cheap ones. I have both. All you need is a shovel, some muscle, a shaker box, and a feel for history, Thanks again.
This was awesome. Very interesting. There's nothing like maps and books to help in historical research. You mentioned the one having 14 children. My great-grandmother, was born in 1866 and married in 1887. She had 12 children between 1888 and 1906. My grandmother was the second to last one. Out of those 12 children, 9 of them lived into adulthood. Oh, I liked that verse that Scott read. I was not familiar with it.
Scott, beautiful words . Thank you Scott! Appreciated. I find this Hall family very interesting and wondering IF any of them would be distantly related to MY or my half brothers Hall family line, form Kentucky??, My own Grandmother, on my biological dad's side of my own family, was a Hall, form Kentucky, and Know that at some time, SOME of them moved to other states, Georgia being one of them, so just wondering. Glad that both of you came back to all this and found out as much as you both did. Amazing. Thank you for all your time in research and in documenting all this..
Love watching your adventures. Would love for you to give some pointers on where to look for information on graves and property. Looking for an ancestor’s grave an have hit a block.
Interesting stuff, as always. One comment, since the subject was mentioned. A decent first step away from candy-assery is not substituting "passed" for "died". This is meant in the spirit of light-hearted comradery but valid nonetheless.
Thank you for a very interesting and educational series. It’s so important to remember the past and all those who worked so hard to scrape out a life in the early history of this country. Thanks for the research you’ve made doing this. I look forward to more interesting videos.
The days of man are like grass. He grows like a flower of the field. When the wind blows over it, it is gone. Its place will remember it no more.

Thank you for opening this video with scripture. Such a poignant reminder from the Word of God as to us as mortals. These people whose graves you find led full lives. Including the slaves whose graves haven't been found but we can safely assume are buried on Mr. Hall's property.
Great detective work! You all are the best.🏆 Blessings to you and your families.❤️

I agree. There needs to be a registry where ppl like Robert & Scott can record the pieces of puzzles as they find them in 2022, with disclaimers, of course. There are ppl like me who'd love to find even a speculative inkling regarding where our forebears lived and are buried other than the graves we easily locate in the more civilized population centers. In my case all I've heard is "vicinity of Atlanta". I can't tell you how many ppl repeat that exact same narrative. I hear it so often I have to restrain myself from
laughing. It's not as if I think it's not true, but I almost throw up my hands and reply, "Is there anybody who wasn't from the vicinity of Atlanta? "
For decades I assumed that oral family history was distorted by each person who kept and passed down family stories - but in 2011 I found (through Find-a-Grave) a distant cousin who remembered our shared relatives accounts from three gens prior exactly as I had been told them by my aunt born in 1909.

Traitors shouldn’t be recognized ❤

I wonder how my grandfather at the age of 10 .survived all 4 yrs as a drummer boy .

Hello. History of families is interesting. I am still on Ancestry finding ancestors. I had found that my great-grandfather fought in the Civil War for the Union, in many major battles.

Love the devotional and always love the history.
huge fan of yours Robert. This Yankee appreciates your love of history and your home places.
Very interesting that you found out more on the mystery cemetery! When I'm out antique shopping I always look at the book sections to see if there may be books of areas that I have family ties to.

My records show William Riley Hall born 1802. He married twice. (Nancy Statham and Mary Evans). The oldest wife (Mary Evans) born 1802. According to my records William and Mary were 16 years old when William T. was born.
Nice find 👏
This would help a lot, but what happened to Mary Evans?
My mother’s side is full of Hall’s that back to Jarvis’s and Dawson. But, the main is her father’s side which is Hall.
Are you going to go back later with a group of people to provide a Community Service to clean up the enclosed, William T Hall Planatation Cemetery? That would make a fantastic video to add to your collection.
Excellent research by the way. Extremely interesting stories and info on the Hall family.
Let me first just say, Amazing!!! This video was so good Robert 👍. I could definitely imagine a big beautiful plantation house sitting there and what life would have been like at that time.

I Always think of Romance whenever I hear of a huge Plantation House..(silly I know)
Robert you and your team are truly Georgia treasures. Thanks for the great videos and keep up the great work.
Very interesting and very nice to have that book aside some help on the way thank you for sharing with us and take care.
I've been researching my family tree and the number of people who did not survive the Civil War is astounding. One family lost all their sons except 2 -one had his legs blown off and his brother had to help him home and was discharged to do that. Yankee prisons weren't a picnic despite the all the attention Andersonville gets. Disease was a huge killer on both sides.
This was totally cool. Loved the wrought iron fence and gate at the WT Hall gravesite.
Thanks!! All the history and people and grave yards are extremely interesting to me. I really enjoy it.
I love how people ask Robert if he’s going to organize cemetery cleanup committees. I used to be head of an HOA (volunteer positions), and people always wanted us to “do something” about X. When we’d say, “What a great idea! You can head up that committee,” they couldn’t get away fast enough, 😂. If you want something done that is totally voluntary, head it up yourself, people!
YUP! As President of WHP, and working closely with the Waverly Hall Cemetery - that couldn’t be more correct!!
If you want to get rid of folks after Thanksgiving Diner, ask🤣 them to grab a hammer and help. All you will see is dust!
Wonderful video you two. It always breaks my heart to see the sad shape these forgotten Graves are in.
Love, love, love! the history. Thanks for all your hard work investigating the past.😊
Great work . Mystery solved .These cemeteries deserve to be saved and Sidestep Adventures is the one to do the job!
What an exciting find. Thank you for going back to the other cemetery and making it easier for us to connect the dots. You guys do an amazing job at solving the mysteries. Robert you are becoming quite the Historian in your own right! Keep the history coming 💚
So sad about the couple that died a day apart. Sad no records in most cases. We need to cherish our history
Thank you Scott for your service 🇺🇸
I love your adventures. Thank you!!
Great investigative work! Thanks for the followup, very interesting.

Good job on the research both of you. Thank you for another excellent video.
One of your best episodes! Appreciate the research that you guys did! Thanks Robert and Scott
I so appreciate that gods words joins your channel so many has left his words behind ty for not conforming to social media 🙏
Very interesting puzzle solved 💕😎
Fascinating! Thrilled that you found some answers to the mystery. Big thanks to Scott for digging deeper into the history.
Can’t say it enough at how much these videos mean to me. Those of you who have been born n raised in Georgia have been blessed with wonderful history. I hang on to every word that you speak about those who have gone on to a far better place. Fascinating that it is. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍
I enjoy hearing the history of these sites, also enjoy the videos.
How do you get a copy of that book?
Sounds very interesting!
i watch this and a flood of thoughts bear to mind. robert i've watched you for years with that house you are so carefully repairing. my grandfather's uncle died serving in the civil war. we still have our two story greek revival house built between 1840 and 1850. i live there, it is attached to a 1710 house i live there too, it is the same building. i truly am sorry that your losses were so big. if you come ti connecticut, i will give you a tour. best wishes from ball-acre farm.
Thanks for the history lesson. Very interesting!
Thoroughly enjoy this channel! The scripture you used is also my favorite! Fascinating mystery solved! Excellent video!!
Never ever cease to amaze. Wonderful video, you must love doing research.
I love this history, thank you. Very interesting.
Thanks for the follow up with more information on who is buried here in this forgotten cemetery.
Wonderful video! Great job on the research. Thank you so much for your efforts. Y'all made those times alive again. 💜
Thank you for the verse! God's word put so much of life into proper perspective!
Great follow up. Have been waiting for the rest of the story.
Awesome story and revisit. Thanks for all the work and research you do.
Good job Scott. keeping the faith goin!
very interesting history
Really interesting. Thank you, Robert and Scott
Great video. Thanks for sharing
This was so fascinating, thank you!
Great video! I love researching family history.
Thank you Robert and Scott. As always fascinating video
Great job you are doing recording your area's history.
I came across this chanel and find it so interesting. I really enjoy seeing the old cemetaries. It's a shame that they are not taken care of by someone. Really sad.
Absalom Hall was the father of William Riley Hall . Absalom had a child named George Lily Hall. And had a Child Named George, Thomas, William, Henry, and more. He had a plantation in Alabama and slavery was awful. Many Halls were farmers or plantation owners. Others were judges, preachers, and salesman
Try Alabama Halls, it leads you to many Halls.
So interesting!! Love history and I’m so happy you both are recording this early settlers home and life. Maybe one day you will come across the slave cemetery. Keep up the wonderful work your doing
Another great video,can't get enough.ty so much.
Very nice video, great story of the family history. Thanks for bringing back their memory and sharing with us.
Recent years of internet, DNA, family tree research , cemetery records and enabled the merging of so much historical records. My own family is fortunate to have a vast amount of family tree and history.
Very good
Thank you for the follow up. History is so interesting, especially when it's in an area you live. I can understand you 100%
Good job Scott and Robert. Rest in peace to the Hall Family.
Have so enjoyed your videos. One question I have is how did Mrs Hall live while here husband was away in war. And the war all around the plantation. Hard times back then.
Interesting!
Fascinating history! Peaked my interest when you mentioned Beach which is my maiden name. We don’t know anything about that side of our tree.
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. Bringing out the past history. May the Lord bless you and protect you and your friends out exploring
Thank you very much for going back. That was wonderful. Really enjoyed it, wish you would carry a metal detector as
they are high-tech nowadays and not high-dollar. You do not have to have an expensive one as they do the same thing as
the cheap ones. I have both. All you need is a shovel, some muscle, a shaker box, and a feel for history, Thanks again.
Just love the research and commentary on this video. Good work, guys!!
Thank you for the upload. Great video. It’s nice to find out the history of individuals.
Excellent video. So very interesting.
Each one of your videos encourages to document my family and their ancestors
Hello Robert great video very interesting thank you for bringing that video to us love from upstate New York
The scripture verse was beautiful Scott!
This was awesome. Very interesting. There's nothing like maps and books to help in historical research.
You mentioned the one having 14 children. My great-grandmother, was born in 1866 and married in 1887. She had 12 children between 1888 and 1906. My grandmother was the second to last one. Out of those 12 children, 9 of them lived into adulthood. Oh, I liked that verse that Scott read. I was not familiar with it.
I find this history totally fascinating. Thanks.
Good work lads. Meticulous research, is never easy. CUDOS for sticking with it lads.
Fascinating ❤
Scott, beautiful words . Thank you Scott! Appreciated. I find this Hall family very interesting and wondering IF any of them would be distantly related to MY or my half brothers Hall family line, form Kentucky??, My own Grandmother, on my biological dad's side of my own family, was a Hall, form Kentucky, and Know that at some time, SOME of them moved to other states, Georgia being one of them, so just wondering. Glad that both of you came back to all this and found out as much as you both did. Amazing. Thank you for all your time in research and in documenting all this..
This Hall family came from S.C.
Great investigative work, Scott!
Another amazing video. Love from Australia. Xx
Robert and Scott, thank you two for these videos. I love history as well and it is so interesting to discover some answers to life's mysteries.
Love watching your adventures. Would love for you to give some pointers on where to look for information on graves and property. Looking for an ancestor’s grave an have hit a block.
Interesting stuff, as always. One comment, since the subject was mentioned. A decent first step away from candy-assery is not substituting "passed" for "died". This is meant in the spirit of light-hearted comradery but valid nonetheless.
Thank you for a very interesting and educational series. It’s so important to remember the past and all those who worked so hard to scrape out a life in the early history of this country. Thanks for the research you’ve made doing this. I look forward to more interesting videos.
