    Oh my goodness. That really is so very sad. Beautiful wrought Iron fencing. Robert. I think that the state of Georgia should employ you to locate all the old Cemeteries and restore them for the respect they deserve. Youre the best man for the job. 🌷🌿🌷

      200-year-old graves means their children and grandchildren are long dead too. No one is left to care for those graves. Do you go and care for your 8 great grandparent's graves, your 16 gg grandparent's graves, your 32 ggg grandparent's graves, your 64 great great great great grandparents' graves, etc.???? I'm 70 plus and that Susan Thomas who died at 21 in 1837 would be around my 3rd great grandparent's age. I have done my genealogy so I know she is not my ancestor but are you sure she is not your ancestor? That is why I believe it is better to be cremated

    Appreciate so much the fact that u showed respect for this site. Cleaned up a few tombstones and re-read some tombstones that probably haven't been read in over a 150 yrs. Nice to remember people who have passed.
    Good work!

    Thanks to you Robert, these people are not forgotten and are recorded! It also shows us how short life truly is. How everyone we know and know is, all the activities around us, the history, the historical events we've experienced, our homes and all our stuff, will not even be a memory. Of course there will be another Robert however and he will investigate and discover old places where we may end up and wonder as we do today, what were they like, their lives, their homes and professions, their cherished possessions and ups and downs of living. It is part of the mystery of their lives and ours. Thank You Most Kindly! DaveyJO in Pa.

    When I watch your videos or visit old cemeteries here in NJ/PA area that have old foundations nearby I often think that right here where I am standing there was a home or church, there was a funeral and families who would visit this gravesite and lived right nearby, etc. Often was an old farm now overgrown. It always shows how nature starts to reclaim the land when they are not maintained.

    Missed ya'll, know bad storms hit Georgia and other places, causing havoc here and there! Glad you got your power back on. Glad to see you out there on such a beautiful day. That was really old family plot. That house at one time must have been gorgeous. Maybe it came down during the civil war, cause most of the people who are buried all lived up to the 1850's and not further. But the dignity of those old Oak trees stand there are a witness and their special mightiness makes the place look grand. Thanks again for going out videoing this. And so glad you brought a brush with you! Thank you Cody and Robert!!! Miss your other friends with you too. Hope soon this pestilence, will go away for all!

    I have been so impressed with the respect and reverence you express in these videos. Saying these peoples names out loud has really struck me emotionally. I grew up in Oxford Georgia and played in the "old soldiers cemetery" behind Oxford college. I also found a couple of graves in the woods, although it is a industrial area now, and wondered how they have fared.

    Hi Robert, family members just sent me this video! Reverend Richard Dozier was my great great great great grandfather!! Some family members have been looking for these graves for a while. The Dozier- Wooldridge house was located nearer Columbus and my guess is during the horse and buggy days this would have been a hike to get to the Reverend Dozier’s house. I’m really sad this has not been maintained but our family is determined to remedy that! Thank you so much for making this video!!! God bless you and your work!!

    I think it is great that Robert and Cody spend so much time together and bond over discovering forgotten history. I told my Eagle Scout grandson about this channel. He has been on Scouting trips from New Mexico to W. Virginia/Virginia including Georgia. I told him when he get married he better find a girl that loves the outdoors as much as him and not those city girls he occasionally dates.

    Another thing, when I read the names on the old stones, I’ve always wondered when the last time someone uttered that persons name. It just goes to show when we utter a lost ones name they are never really gone. You could have been the first person to say their names in 150 years and now they live on in memory again. I love these types of videos and the people who take the time to make these discoveries. Thank you.

    Your comment about people stealing the fences from cemeteries reminded me of two idiot's here. They went into the cemetery, it's still in use, and started taking the brass name plates and flower holders from graves. They took them to a local recycling center. I did say they were idiot's. I have to give the owner of the center credit. He called the police and kept the two there telling them he had to get a weight on the stuff.

Small groups of folks could do a lot to fix these places up so they would not be ignored.

    What an awesome thought, of a chimney being a gravestone to a home. Or however you had worded it. The wrought iron fence here was unique. Often makes me wonder, whose human hands might have handcrafted that very fence, who actually requested the fence to be there, who might have been the person whom placed the hardware (bolts, screws) on that fence, etc.

      Not a good idea. Revealed locations give hoodlums a place to destroy

    6:30 Gorilla brand exterior grade construction adhesive will be able to hold the pieces of the headstone together. The hardest part of restoring the grave site, would be properly locating the correct placement location for the headstone, and making sure you have a stable base that will support the headstone as you rebuild it. 8:10 It looks like there may have been some writing towards the edge of that headstone, unless that was just leaves and other debris. The headstone could have also fallen on it's face leaving all the writing face down on the ground.

    Wow! Looks like that has been forgotten for a very long time. Although it is quite possible especially considering the dates that was a homestead,but that building could also be the remains of a church. It would be nice to go back and see if there are any written accounts of the families that you found. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤

    Another great video tour. Thanks for caring about the old cemetery! It’s sad relatives don’t try to clean up the resting place of their ancestors.

    It’s sad to think that one day when us, our loved ones, friends, colleagues, and all the acquaintances we met departs . We will all be forgotten in the future :(. Only people who are famous and people who made history will be remembered but ordinary people like us will be forgotten. :(

    It is always sad to see these long forgotten graves of people who lived and died so many years ago and know that they have been forgotten over time and left to nature. Pity the old graveyard can't be restored

    Once again a wonderful video. In the 60s when my husband was in the military we visited Concard, Mass. We saw many young adults making or tracing names on headstones. So much history. I just love your channel.
