I’m really hoping the beginning of this video wasn’t from after you guys filmed this! To think they may have destroyed it knowing it was there breaks my heart! 🥺
I love to think of that day when the dead in Christ shall rise and all the graves that have been disturbed, disrespected and destroyed will be needed no more!!! Thank you for bring respect to the gravesites. God bless you.
This is so heartbreaking Rob!😪 It angers me to the max what "they" do to our old cemeteries! How disrespectful! The childs grave really broke my heart!
I agree. There should be some way these companies can be held responsible and repairs be made. But when they tear up field stone markers who can ever know where they should be. I hope this gets reported.
A blessing for those in unmarked graves. Known but to God; loved by those who placed them there. The epitaphs in this cemetery are some of the most beautiful have found so far.
A bulldozer did all that damage to the cemetery? I hope that you guys report this damage to the city or whoever. Companies shouldn't be able to destroy cemeteries. They contain so much information.
The other Robert and Cody! People were so poetic back then from the epitaphs on the graves. To see folks buried there that lived through the Civil War still fascinates me.
Just an incredible video and cemetery. Cemeteries should be off limits at All times, don't care about no darn developments, etc, leave them alone, that should be written in contracts, paperwork. Just disgraceful and disrespectful.
It's amazing to me how what was once an entire church's, or community's, cemetery can be abandoned and forgotten. Thank you Robert, Other Robert, and Cody for revealing the people to us. You give so much respect to each grave site, each name and birth/death dates, and their epitaphs. Looking forward to learning more about New Hope Cemetery!
Enjoy exploring and learning about these people and places of the past with you guys! But, I really didn't expect the laugh I got out of seeing the back of Robert's shirt! 😂 Thank's guys!
So there are no laws regarding respecting the final resting places of human beings??? A cemetery can hold the bodies of past residents but when the descendants move on the land where their ancestors rest can be destroyed?? There is something wrong with that. It is so surprising that even the churches want nothing to do with preserving grave sites or moving them someplace else. It is one thing to just abandon a cemetery but it is an even worse offense to allow those graves to be totally destroyed by construction and roads that just blow over them. Such disrespect is inexcusable.
It's ironic my mother's Family Cemetery where she has a plot (she's still here) is called New Hope Cemetery close to Roswell Georgia, as I was watching this video we were talking about having her birthday party there next week so we could all chip in and clean the place up, I may walk up to my great Grandparents Cemetery up the rd from me today and make a video and tour the place, there's some really old graves there, I'll let you know if I do and maybe you can check it out, Thanks For All You Do For Those Who Have Been Forgotten And Thanks For Sharing, God Bless y'all 🙏✌
@ I've worked around douglasville alot in the past so I've probably been through New Hope at one time, it's been quite a few years since I've been out that way

@@thegeorgiacreekwalker491 we used to have a farm there.Its probably been 30 years or more since i was there.I do know our old farm is a subdivision now
@ oh wow did you grow up on the farm? That would have been the ideal childhood and you know a majority of the places I use to play as a kid are subdivisions now and that makes me pretty sad, I grew up in a subdivision next to a few hundred acres with creeks and caves and old gold mining machines that were still there from the 1800's and I would play in these creeks and caves every single day of my childhood and have so many great memories from then, I went by my old childhood home recently and all those woods I use to play in are now gone and subdivisions now and it's the same in about 70 percent of the places I use to play as a kid, there either subdivisions or shopping complexes or apartment complexes, just to many damn people now lol, I'm 44 with no kids but still want to start a family and if I ever do I'm gonna try to migrate up into the mountains maybe around Blue Ridge so my kids can have the same experiences I did as a kid, before we know it there want be any wilderness around for our kids to play in and what a shame that is
Back in those days there was a book that many undertakers and gravestone carvers used that the family could use to pick an epitaph. Thats why you see the same thing on many old graves. Many people couldn't read or write back then.
How how can they bulldoze/log cutting over something so precious as this? so near to the graves, and this one certainly has been forgotten, so glad you all helped clean some of them and read them out, so interesting. Thank you so much for sharing this history and documenting it.
Take heed stranger as you walk by , as you are now so once was I , as I am now you will be , so prepare to meet in eternity " Saw that on an old , old tombstone in Crawfordsville Ark . .many years ago and have never forgotten it .
Beautiful Sunday morning another great video interesting and really good about Georgia HISTORY It's really good to see both Roberts and cory together doing a great JOB like always
I'm wondering if the Gaylor epitaph was written that way because he died first ("May we meet...") and she died last ("We have met...). That's pretty cool.
SHAME ON ANYONE THAT BULLDOZED OVER A GRAVEYARD! THEY WILL ALL HAVE TO ANSWER TO GOD FOR THE DESTRUCTION THEY HAVE DONE. ONE DAY THEY WILL BE A GRAVE, WILL A STRANGER DRIVE OVER THEM WITH A BULLDOZER????
Set the scene: Someone dies, no money for a headstone? Or, too quickly to produce one? Where do the stone 'markers' come from? Is the land conducive to cherry pick stones of sufficient size to mark the active grave? Do the mourners or grave diggers bring them?---The ages of the oldest headstones certainly speak to the pioneers. Imagine their lives...
It's shameful how greed destroys old cemeteries just for an extra few trees!! Obviously they need their mommas slapping them..who ever they are..upside their heads for being so damn disrespectful$!! 😮😮
I have ancestors all over the country. Even if I knew where they all were I couldn't maintain them all. It's kind of difficult when families tend not to stay in the same place.
Although I'm in England I find all your cemetery visits really fascinating. Its such a shame that they've haven't been upkept. Look forward to your next video xx
Another great video and like one before the loggers have damaged? can you not get them to repair the fence like one before? Thankyou for sharing it Robert Other Robert and Cody
Thank you! I have never seen a double obelisk monument before and all those epitaphs were new to me also - not the standards usually found all across America. Also good to see Cody and the other Robert back, he must have finally got his steak sandwich.
Shaffer Noel Hargett was called up to Camp Gordon July 22,1918. On Oct 2, 1918, 138 soldiers at Camp Gordon were infected with Spanish flu. Shaffer died Nov. 20, 1918 aged 29. I don’t know if this was his cause of death but it seems very likely. His draft registration says he was married, a farmer, with dark hair and stout in stature. I am not connected to him, I was just wondering about him.
Those buried there passed so long ago there is no one left to maintain their graves. This is so sad that graveyards don't have protectors when those who remember are gone as well. Thank you Robert and Robert and Cody for letting us see such places.
ROBERT JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT YOU AND THE OTHER ROBERT KNOW IT'S A GRAVE YARD IN GEORGIA IN A WALMART PARKING LOT I DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE CITY CAN YOU AND THE OTHER ROBERT CK I THINK THE GRAVES ARE FROM THE 1800 COULD BE A VERY INTERESTING VIDEO..
I wish they would make logging companies responsible for cleanup on any cemetery they touch. That at one time was a beautiful grave yard . So sad when a town disappears that the cemeteries suffer from lack of any care. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤
Hallo Robert and friends i love the old historry i love this video thank you Robert i love to see you i learn so much stuff i love it big love to you and friends from croatia
Hope you're - at least documenting the graves that can still be identified. The county historical association would, most likely, love to have that information.
You explore these neglected - even forgotten - cemeteries with care and reverence. It's important to know something about those who came before and did their bit to build the country.
Makes me angry to think how nobody respects these cemeteries enough to keep them up. In Texas, the trustees in jail are brought out to clean these beautiful places
Well done fellas. I found two yesterday . Oldest was 1811 died. Many in Mich in good shape tended by small churches. edAnnArbor channel . I like the veteran ones. Civil war ones especially .
It would be wonderful if a historical group or other group or groups could take it upon themselves to make it a bi-annual clean up day. It's bad that old cemeteries are too often forgotten.
It's a shame logging companies seems to not care if there is cemetery or cemeteries on the land they got for logging ! Thank you guys for sharing this with me ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you guys maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .
I bet these Hargett's are related to me!! Yes! Just found it! Marcellus Flynn Hargett's line goes back to Joseph Hargett, a brother to my John Henry Hargett Jr. - back in Mecklenburg County, NC.
Aloha Robert! These logging companies cannot say they don't know that they're destroying historic cemeteries. How can a dozer driver run over clearly marked graves/fences? They have no morals/scruples/conscience.!☹
I've never seen that style of double obelisk stones before! Lots of Masons there - but I think most people were raised to build one way or another. Fascinating place to be sure.
Dang it .. I feel so cheated LOL .. bam part 2 upcoming. Hey Cody & Robert 2, good to see y'all 3! Was this filmed in the fall Robert? If so how's Robert 2, Daniel & Brian doing lately? Just checking on them .. have an awesome day!! B safe & well .. peace✌🏼❣️🙏🏼

I failed upside down reading in school, OMG! I can't stop laughing. I just love Robert#2 and love what you guys do.
It’s good to see the three of you together and sharing the history and cemetery with us.
I agree! The 2 Roberts and Cody are a great team!
The other Robert and Cody! People were so poetic back then from the epitaphs on the graves. To see folks buried there that lived through the Civil War still fascinates me.
You mean the Robert that failed upside down reading when he was in school? ( That was funny ; ^ } ) 15:18
I think that it is wonderful the way you are giving attention to those forgotten lives. God will surely bless you for having such huge hearts.

These grave head stones make me think how many graves are abandoned or paved over and forever forgotten. Y'all ard doing a great service.
Probably a lot
Especially on the east coast where some are 250+ years old
definition of a rod is 16.5 feet ... love your channels ! can't wait for them each week
Another unit of measurement used back in the day is "chain" which 66 feet
So there are no laws regarding respecting the final resting places of human beings??? A cemetery can hold the bodies of past residents but when the descendants move on the land where their ancestors rest can be destroyed?? There is something wrong with that.

This channel has convinced me and my wife to be cremated, our ashes scattered in a mountain glade.
Happy Sunday morning! Thanks for your videos, y’all always brighten my day.
Always interesting exploring with you guys...I go from curious to tears to laughter...Other Robert failed upside down reading in school...very funny.

I wonder if you could use ground penetrating radar to find unmarked graves. Nice find, I really enjoy your videos
In looking at Findagrave cemetery notes - they have images of the place before the fencing disappeared and the trees cut down.
I love this video so much 👍🏻 The history of this cemetery is fascinating Keep up the great work ♥️ I watch all of your videos ✌️
Yes love your videos, I am from columbus georgia and my family is from cataula ga and harris County ❤ keep up the great work guys.

There are tons of old, forgotten cemeteries in South Carolina !
My great-great-grandmother is buried in one of them.
There was some degree of affluence in that community: the expensive headstones on a number of graves speak to that fact.
Good grief is that huge downed tree a Cedar tree????
Such Compassionate Work ✨💜🔥✨ Bless Your Hearts 😊💜✨ ..

Love this! Most of Georgia wasn’t settled when they were born, still being occupied by Native Americans. Those people were hardy and brave.
Thank u Robert for for making forgotten people remembered again
It's shameful how greed destroys old cemeteries just for an extra few trees!! Obviously they need their mommas slapping them..who ever they are..upside their heads for being so damn disrespectful$!! 😮😮
Ok... I teared up at “may we meet to part no more/we have met...”. One of those things connecting a human story to a grave stone 😢. As always, TFS ✌🏻
Good video. There is a New Hope in Paulding Co. Ga. Many years ago there was a terrible plane crash there that killed many people.
Also the site of a Civil War battle, one of the battles that led up to the major engagement at Kennesaw Mountain.
12:25 That's a 30 Year age difference between Husband and Wife!
i wonder how many cemeterys are lost to overpopulation and the lack of respect for the dead
Good Sunday morning! Great video to watch with my coffee.
9:57 only Marcellus that comes to mind is the dude Ving Rhames played in Pulp Fiction
My gggrandfather was named Marcellus but they called him Shelly
I keep wondering about descendants ... do they know where their ancestors are buried ... do they care.
I have ancestors all over the country. Even if I knew where they all were I couldn't maintain them all. It's kind of difficult when families tend not to stay in the same place.

The three amigos. I really enjoyed this one, I can't wait for part 2. I'm rewatching all the old Sidestep videos too, I can't get enough. 😊
Poor folks burried in these places and totally forgotten. Wonder how long it will be before the loggers bull doze this one
Those buried there passed so long ago there is no one left to maintain their graves. This is so sad that graveyards don't have protectors when those who remember are gone as well. Thank you Robert and Robert and Cody for letting us see such places.
Its hard to imagine the survivors personal anguish to compose fitting limited words for a marker epitaph.
ROBERT JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT
YOU AND THE OTHER ROBERT KNOW IT'S A GRAVE YARD IN GEORGIA IN A WALMART PARKING LOT
I DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE CITY CAN YOU AND THE OTHER ROBERT CK I THINK THE GRAVES ARE FROM THE 1800
COULD BE A VERY INTERESTING VIDEO..
The emblem on the grave stone the emblem of the illumanotie? Not sure I spelled that correctly.
I wish they would make logging companies responsible for cleanup on any cemetery they touch. That at one time was a beautiful grave yard . So sad when a town disappears that the cemeteries suffer from lack of any care. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤
I'm looking forward to the rest of this story. Thanks y'all 😊
Very interesting. So who owns this cemetery? Can you notify someone to clean it up. So sad the way it looks now. Love to see it cleaned up.
1 rod = around 5.4 meters
= 16.5 feet
= 5.5 yards
Thanks for this info!
I believe the states so put a portion of taxes towards taking care of all cemeteries
Looking forward to Part 2
I hope you will go back there, looks like there are some very nice headstones. Thanks, Robert, Robert and Cody
Nice to see the other Robert back ..
Hallo Robert and friends i love the old historry i love this video thank you Robert i love to see you i learn so much stuff i love it big love to you and friends from croatia
That flat bulldozed area would be great to metal detect.
Is the wire from the 1840’s or 1940’s?
Hope you're - at least documenting the graves that can still be identified. The county historical association would, most likely, love to have that information.
sad to see some of these graves that have clearly been driven over
Love this video Robert. Can't wait for other parts.
I was missing the other Robert!!!🧏♀️👍🏻🙏🏻😇
So amazing yet so sad!💔
MAY ALL FOREVER R.I.P.💐🌿💐🌿💐🌿💐🌿💐🌿💐🌿💐🌿💐🌿💐🌿💐🌿💐🌿💐🌿💐🌿🇺🇸🗽🙏
You explore these neglected - even forgotten - cemeteries with care and reverence. It's important to know something about those who came before and did their bit to build the country.
Depressive to see just grave marker stones ... as no name to be forever
What is the location of this one, I'd like to visit it
Makes me angry to think how nobody respects these cemeteries enough to keep them up. In Texas, the trustees in jail are brought out to clean these beautiful places

I bet these Hargett's are related to me!! Yes! Just found it! Marcellus Flynn Hargett's line goes back to Joseph Hargett, a brother to my John Henry Hargett Jr. - back in Mecklenburg County, NC.
You boys got up with the birds this a.m.!
Great video fellas!,can't wait for part 2😀👍
5 Thumbs up, and thanks for taking us along.
Very interesting that someone would come out there and pour that big slab of concrete and no markers. Odd indeed.
Aloha Robert! These logging companies cannot say they don't know that they're destroying historic cemeteries. How can a dozer driver run over clearly marked graves/fences? They have no morals/scruples/conscience.!☹
First and a like. Thank you from Los Angeles!

This is ashame that no one kept up the cemetery. So happy you gentlemen are taking note of it thank you 💕💕💕
Beautiful! Pretty sure it's all marble... Sadly desecrated by man's greed as always. Bad JuJu!!
Thank you for bringing it/them to light. 🙏❤️🇺🇲
Glad the band is back together.
Wonderful spotlight on forgotten place ❤️
Thank you Roberts 1 and 2. Mr. Cody. God-bless you all. And you all Keepsafe.
Always a good day when there is a new adventure with Robert, Robert, and Cody!
Nice...👍.
Great video yet again Robert.
