I actually thought it was pretty amazing that that large obelisk was still standing especially since there's so many trees there now. I'm really surprised that one of them hasn't knocked that over. But it also could be that it's so heavy and that is what is keeping it from being knocked over.
Just watched video here in 2023 and too curious about this Hutchinson family cemetery not to research! Found it! Lorenzo Dow Hutchinson (son of Nicholas) was a prosperous cotton farmer in Harris County. Affectionately called "Uncle Render". Lived near the "Myhands in the Jones Crossroad community where he operated one of two gins." In his will he provided that $10,000 would be used to have a huge monument in the family cemetery. He specified it would be 30' high and sit in the middle of the burial plot. Ten acres around this plot would be set aside as a family shrine. This came from a book I found online, History of Harris County, page 715. I didn't note the author nor publication date.
My family moved to this area in 1974. We live less than 5 miles from Hutchinson's Monument as we locals call it. I can only provide the heresay that I've heard from the age is 7. Just prior to leaving the Asphalt on Moat Road is an old plantation house where the Hutchinsons lived. They operate a fully functional farm and the grave outside of the fencing were their servant's faces. In the 1970s there was rumor of devil worshipers using the cemetery for their rituals including the vandalism and grave robbing. It does appear on Google earth as Hutchinson's Monument. The house is now an event venue. The family was renown for their contributions to the community. Thank you for being so respectful and bringing this fine family to light.
Looks like a great place to have a Hutchinson family reunion (direct line or not). Grab some yard tools, wear old clothes and bring a BIG picnic lunch to share with people you may be related too and haven't met. You could clean that place up and get those stones back in place.With a bit or research you might even find who's related to those folks locally if any and get the OK. Don't hurt to try.
What a great idea! In the South, we used to call it "Decoration Day" or " Lunch on the ground" as the families would gather to clean, decorate the graves, usually have a preacher to give a sermon, and some music played by folks coming and hear tales of the folks in the graves as the pot luck dinner eaten. Those days are gone, but it would be a great idea to do it again. It is still done in the Appellation mountains.
Robert, the reverence you have for these places is as awe-inspiring as the historic treasures you discover. Thank you for documenting and sharing them. Very important mission you’re on, young man.
How exciting it would be to be able to go to these old, broken down cemeteries to clean them and fix them up to as close to their original condition as possible. This would be one of those. No one, no matter how long they have been dead and buried, should be forgotten. You are an absolute wonder to find these places. Keep it up.
Interesting that on the 1850 census they were listed as living at Negro Heel, Harris, Georgia, USA. Interesting name. Him and his wife Mary, their twin sons Lorenza D Hutchinson and William L Hutchinson ages 15. Son James N age 8 and daughter Mary C Hutchinson age 6. Nicholas 1st wife died in 1858 and he remarried to Nancy Davison in the same year. In 1860 Nicholas had 24 slaves. On the 1860 census it says his total value in real estate was $8000 and overall personal value at a whopping $22, 800! No wonder he could afford such a massive monument.
Which is probably why a grave robber(s) thought maybe they were wearing jewelry or something when buried and dug up at least a few of them it looked to me.
So here is what Ill was able to dig up through ancestry. Nicholas Hutchinson father was Nathanial and he was born in New Jersey and he was a revolutionary war soldier. There is a picture of their house in Harris County, it was nice for those days and there are pictures of the cemetery and it was in good shape in 2007. I definitely think it was vandalism. People are just sick.

Oh wow, I have been watching this channel for a long time wondering if he would ever run into someone from the Ga 44th. My 2nd great grandfather was a Sergeant-Major in the 44th Ga and his older brother was a Colonel in the 44th! Their last name is Estes - I need to find time to go to GA and find my many ancestors’ graves!
I was in North Carolina and Georgia for a minute. I loved stopping off at the cemeteries and churches. So many families there take their heritage for granted because they've been there a couple hundred years. I just want to see their faces and hear their stories. Pretty cool video. Thanks Robert!
REGARDING THE GRAVE OUTSIDE THE WALL THAT WAS BUILT UP WITH NICE STONES. IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE GRAVE OF A HOUSE SERVANT THAT WAS LOVED BY THE FAMILY AND THEY WANTED TO SHOW HER EXTRA RESPECT. SHE COULD NOT BE IN THE FAMILY PLOT BUT THEY WANTED TO RECOGNIZE HER.
I just found Colonel Lorenzo D Hutchinson, son of Nicholas & Mary Pratt Hutchinson mentioned in the Sept. 28, 1894, issue of the Atlanta Constitution (p4, col2) on Newspapers.com - an article about the prices of cotton in Georgia says Col. Hutchinson had been a successful cotton planter in Harris County for 40 years. In 1893 his cotton crop cost him 7.08 cents a pound & he sold it for about nine cents a pound. The report quoted that "Colonel Hutchinson farms on the intensive system, rotates his crops, and takes all the short cuts to economy that intelligence and experience had taught him." I had to chuckle at the closing paragraph of the article: "When falling prices become a sign of prosperity a flock of buzzards will be a sign that there is nothing dead up the creek."
From what I have found with a precursory search of some online records from the time, I believe Nicholas Hutchinson was some kind of local official (i.e. Judge, Lawyer,...) as he appears as a witness in several Last Will and Testaments. That would explain the extravagant obelisk, gateway and cut stone wall (not a insignificant expense then or now).
The last Will and testaments were probably family members and even his own if he was on his death bed. That's what I've found doing my own family research.
Wow!, Wow!, Wow! It Would be nice, if this small cemetery were newly renovated, documented by the state (picking up the trees around) and thus preserved for the future. 🇺🇸🌷🕯
and Wow Wow Wow It would be nice if they honoured the people who paid with their lives (their slaves & native americans before them) to earn them the money for such an indulgent cemetary.
@@yvellebradley2502 No! It would show that it is being watched. MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE CEMETERY RESTORERS ALSO USE TRAIL CAMERAS AND EVEN REMOTE TRIGGER CELL PHONE SYSTEMS TO LET THE PROTECTORS KNOWN CAPTURE PICTURES OF VANDALS. IT IS A MAJOR FELONY TO DESTROY BURIAL GROUNDS UNLESS YOUR ANTIFA AND DESTRUCTORS THAT GO UNPUNISHED BY LOCAL GOV CLOWNS LIKE PORTLAND AND SEATTLE MAYORS DURING THE RIOTS! Join a group and contribute as you can, financially, physically with clean-up and repairs of stones by masonary volunteers. They know that their works could also be destroyed by a SICK society so help to recruit their skills to help! Good luck!
Hey Robert, "I can not believe that THIS is in the woods," has got to be one of the BEST opening lines for a video I've heard so far! First of all, the stone-wall surrounding that family cemetery is absolutely gorgeous! Very impressive, indeed, with the arch-way entrance, the wrought-iron gate, and the large round/orb corner decorations. That family was obviously one of great wealth/prominence in the area. When I saw the large hole in the ground, my very first assumption was that some grave robbing had occurred so, yes, I definitely agree with you about that -- especially since mounds of earth were discernible. There's NO WAY the family, nor any cemetery caretakers (i.e grave diggers, slaves) would have been allowed to leave piles of dirt in the middle of the family plot like that -- it would have definitely been hauled off or, at the very least, smoothed out flat and tidied up. I also agree with you about that large pile of field-stones behind the cemetery -- I'm sure you're 100% correct about that being the family's slave cemetery. The large pile is probably the grave of their most-trusted, prominent slave... with the other individual stones and bricks being markers for the rest of that slave's family that, do doubt, lived/worked for the Hutchinson's as well. Absolutely INCREDIBLE find out in the woods!!!! I so wish the stones that were knocked over were at least laying face up so you could have documented more of them. I believe some were definitely vandalized... although, a couple of those markers were extremely thick and heavy, weighing TONS, which would require GREAT force to be knocked over, so perhaps some were naturally knocked over by huge trees falling or even lightning strikes. We'll never know, I guess. Enjoyed this video IMMENSELY!!! Thank you, so much, for finding this wonderful place and bringing us along!!! Stellar video all around!!! And now I HAVE to read all the comments to see if any further History has been uncovered by your other viewers! It's always so fascinating to read what they find out by doing a little digging themselves -- so HUGE PROPS go out to them as well!!!! Take care... and stay healthy! Valerie
What a truly peaceful place to be laid to rest. In spite of the damage, some simply from being there for approximately 200 years and some, sadly, maybe by human hands, it is still an incredible, hauntingly beautiful place. I thank you for your ongoing care and reverence of the resting places that you find, the reading of the names and the respect you consistently show. And, ya know, I’m pretty sure they do too. Soldier on, young man and Godspeed.
Stupendous find Robert ! My jaw dropped to the ground as I'm sure yours did at first sight of this amazing cemetery. The second time I watched it, I was imagining myself sitting on top of the wall having a conversation with the family, asking them all kinds of questions. The obelisk looked like highly polished black marble. Can you imagine what it took to polish it with no electrical polisher ??
Since the time I have seen and watched your TH-cam channel I was so hooked and I just couldn’t stop watching all of your videos. I have always been interested in American History as much as I am with our own (Filipino here! 🇵🇭). I always wonder what these lands looked like in their time long forgotten..😊 Keep safe and God bless!😇
I really like your videos. I would love to do what you do. Thanks. I told my husband and grandson that when I die I don't want a headstone , I only want a white wooden cross. Because I could not see anyone coming back to visit. But bless my grandson, he got upset and told me he would for sure visit my grave. He hugged me so tight as he said that. How I do love that boy (he was 24).
After watching your video I can be almost 100 percent certain this cemetery was desecrated. Most likely by devil worshipers and thieves. The was obviously a wealthy and prominent family. Sad to see. Thank you sir for documenting these forgotten cemeteries.
Very impressive. Hope that you are able to find out a little more of the history behind that cemetery. Like you said, you can tell that there must have been a foundation of money to support such an elaborate plot.
I’m consistently impressed by the places you discover. This cemetery is incredible, the work that would have gone into it. Such a shame things don’t last.

I was thinking that in the past folk would be buried with valuables, especially ladies. Some wanted to keep their jewelry with them. That would encourage grave robbers.
That tradition of being buried with ones jewelry made many rich funeral directors. Remember, they were the last to handle the deceased. My oh my, just think about that awhile.
G'Day Robert and clan, My Wife was watching you for the first time and I said to her that I would like a Monument like that one when I pass away and she said please die on a Thursday as the trash gets collected on Friday, Cheers to All.

450th... Priceless! I can sit here and envision what once was a spectacular plantation, they indeed must have had great wealth. I agree with you Robert, the destruction was made by humans, not time itself.
this is great! I do so hope that you're uploading these headstones to Find A Grave, and/or others, for people who don't know that their ancestors are buried in the woods in the middle of nowhere, or are unable to get there! You do a great work!
I think Nancy would of been happy you uncovered her as seems the family for what ever reason has forgotten them all very sad Really enjoyed this and cant belieave you found this in middle of nowhere
That was really beautiful at one time. Still impressive but sad with the broken stones and the destroyed gravesite. They must have been very wealthy people. Thank you ,Robert
Hallucinogenics -/- this house is gorgeous, I believe it’s privately owned now. (LD Hutchinson House). From what I understand there was a house nearer to the cemetery which no longer stands. Maybe this was his parents home ? I’d love to see photos of it.
Lisa Knell it’s really pretty I’ve Been out there just to have something to do drove by and stopped and checked it out. Mainly drove on the dirt trails and avoided private property markings.
That on 2:00 is granite, not marble. Granite do a better job in competing with time and elements., it is much more dense and harder then marble, but interesting thing, marble is more expensive then granite so I assume that people use to chose more expensive material to show their endorsment for their late loved ones. I noticed that in US, marble win over granite headstones with huge margine, newer headstones are more done from granite. Here in Europe was oposite, here on our still active comunity cemetery with first graves from 1880-is there`s only two headstones from marble, everything else is granite. Great video as always and great little cemetery in woods, realy impresive entrance and that large obelisc.
Yes I can imagine the wealth. Just thinking about the possible history of the cemetery. I hope you can find out more about this place. Thank you. What a place.
That is AMAZING that was expansive even back when it was made way out in the middle nowhere I wonder if there used to be a house at one time near by thank you for sharing
literally this is up the road from me I’m stoked watching this video this place at night and the second grave yard is reallllly active. I can’t say active in sight but hearing things is 100%. I have pictures here at night and day. You can get some responses there tho in evp.
The main monument with the obelisk indicates that the plantation owner was a freemason, the 'A' on the other headstones could be the 'compass' which is also another masonic symbol. Interesting find but so sad to see the amount of vandalism and neglect that has devastated what originally must have been quite an impressive family gravesite.
Beautiful! But it is so sad that someone would destroy a souls resting place. Thank you for documenting these places for historical reasons and respect for the dead.
AMAZING IS RIGHT! So sad that the ancestors of this family don’t care for it better....but then I think ....” do I care for my grandparents graves, or parents graves?”.....SHAMEFULLY not like I should. At first yes... but 20 years later about every 2-3 years I check them... 😢 I’m sure my children ...as a matter of fact...I KNOW MY CHILDREN HAVE NOT GONE BACK TO MY PARENTS GRAVE SITE SINCE WE PLACED THEM THERE”. 😢😢😢😢. How quickly we are forgotten.... Thank you Robert for bringing these incredible videos to us.... we need a little REMINDER of how we treat our family’s gravesites. God bless!
This place was amazing! Just goes to show that in life we head very different paths, but in death, no matter what color we are, amounts of money we have, we are all the same.
Hi Robert. I found Susan E. Piper grave documentation on Find A Grave. Their site has her death documented as Nov. 24, 1930 and burial location as Hutchinson Cemetery.
Lorenzo Dow Hutchinson --- Quite a bit about the cemetery (including an account of the giant stone's placement) via Ancestry.com. Don't believe I can attach the relevant document, the story is from a fairly recent Harris County history.
When I seen the arc way and the size of the monument,I thought plantation money. Unfortunately, the house is long gone. Nice fine. You care to share the location... love e visit myself.
Great great find! Thanks for taking us back in time, makes us imagine this family's lifestyle and wealth. Sad to see the family doesn't maintain its heritage, may have been lost and forgotten with time. Thanks for sharing, such beauty in history
someone that knew exactly how those pieces went could be put back together and it would be outlandish beautiful. the open grave upsets me. How far from any people was the cemetery?
I think that monument is made out of porphyry. It´s a rare type of granite stone that you can only find it in a few places in the world and it´s very expensive (but cheaper than marble). Around $100/kg now days. They come in red and black (well, deep dark purple/deep dark green really) colour. The black porphyry that this monument is made of, is found in the mid west of Sweden, around the mountain area of a small town called Älvdalen (roughly translated into Fairy Valley). The factory in Älvdalen was firstly founded in 1788 by a man called Erik Hagström. The red porphyry is found in southern Europe and northern Africa.
Hi Robert & Cody, wow now that's an impressive family cemetery, beautiful stonework too. I really hope that grave wasn't robbed as that would just be so sad for the family. Thank you for sharing this amazing place. xx
In the census of Tax Records Nicholas Hutchinson had 20 to 24 slaves at any given time. The cemetery is described as having been "disturbed". There could be a lot of slaves buried there. Somewhere around an area called Negro Hill, in Harris County, Georgia was probably a huge plantation with slave quarters. The Hutchinsons owned over 2000 acres. Thank you for what you do!! I Love Your Adventures.
Fantastic. I sense a difference in architecture between the gate, the ground grave stones and walls as one type, and the obelisk as another. Since all the people on the obelisk have separate graves on the ground too, I wonder if the obelisk was added by descendants later around the turn of the 20th Century?
Thank you for this! I've done recording and reclamation work on the cemeteries in my area as well as doing websites for genealogy with them and I want to thank you for the care and respect that you give the individuals buried and cemeteries uncovered in your videos. I do it to recover and preserve history. It's a terrible thing to have it all lost. Thanks for showing such a sympathetic attitude to these burial grounds!
Must of been someone really important or just rich!! Ohhh I just saw your comment!!! I don't see those stones easily falling over. The base stones are too even.....jeez just saw your other comment about grave robbing. :( That thought was on my mind with that one that seems dug out. There may be a separate cemetery for the slaves. An absolutely AMAZING find.
I know nothing about this place and haven’t been able to find much from research, but can take an educated guess. I believe there used to be a large plantation here. The dates on the stones seem to fit. So does the obvious wealth. I want to learn more.
Can you imagine the wealth it would’ve taken to move all of that stone out to those woods way back when? It is incredible to think about.

REGARDING THE GRAVE OUTSIDE THE WALL THAT WAS BUILT UP WITH NICE STONES. IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE GRAVE OF A HOUSE SERVANT THAT WAS LOVED BY THE FAMILY AND THEY WANTED TO SHOW HER EXTRA RESPECT. SHE COULD NOT BE IN THE FAMILY PLOT BUT THEY WANTED TO RECOGNIZE HER.
Exactly what I thought too-
You are right. That is the burial place of a house servant who was loved like family.
I just found Colonel Lorenzo D Hutchinson, son of Nicholas & Mary Pratt Hutchinson mentioned in the Sept. 28, 1894, issue of the Atlanta Constitution (p4, col2) on Newspapers.com - an article about the prices of cotton in Georgia says Col. Hutchinson had been a successful cotton planter in Harris County for 40 years. In 1893 his cotton crop cost him 7.08 cents a pound & he sold it for about nine cents a pound. The report quoted that "Colonel Hutchinson farms on the intensive system, rotates his crops, and takes all the short cuts to economy that intelligence and experience had taught him." I had to chuckle at the closing paragraph of the article: "When falling prices become a sign of prosperity a flock of buzzards will be a sign that there is nothing dead up the creek."
Good job young man you have a true sense of History
From what I have found with a precursory search of some online records from the time, I believe Nicholas Hutchinson was some kind of local official (i.e. Judge, Lawyer,...) as he appears as a witness in several Last Will and Testaments. That would explain the extravagant obelisk, gateway and cut stone wall (not a insignificant expense then or now).
The last Will and testaments were probably family members and even his own if he was on his death bed. That's what I've found doing my own family research.
Wow!, Wow!, Wow! It Would be nice, if this small cemetery were newly renovated, documented by the state (picking up the trees around) and thus preserved for the future. 🇺🇸🌷🕯
Too much clean up would destroy the pure charm of ages,
Tin Justus Martin I agree but cleaning it would attract vandals.
this is a good project for the scouts
and Wow Wow Wow It would be nice if they honoured the people who paid with their lives (their slaves & native americans before them) to earn them the money for such an indulgent cemetary.
@@yvellebradley2502 No! It would show that it is being watched. MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE CEMETERY RESTORERS ALSO USE TRAIL CAMERAS AND EVEN REMOTE TRIGGER CELL PHONE SYSTEMS TO LET THE PROTECTORS KNOWN CAPTURE PICTURES OF VANDALS. IT IS A MAJOR FELONY TO DESTROY BURIAL GROUNDS UNLESS YOUR ANTIFA AND DESTRUCTORS THAT GO UNPUNISHED BY LOCAL GOV CLOWNS LIKE PORTLAND AND SEATTLE MAYORS DURING THE RIOTS! Join a group and contribute as you can, financially, physically with clean-up and repairs of stones by masonary volunteers. They know that their works could also be destroyed by a SICK society so help to recruit their skills to help! Good luck!
That cost a lot of money back in the day. Lots of love represented right there. I'm blown away Rob.
Hey Robert,
"I can not believe that THIS is in the woods," has got to be one of the BEST opening lines for a video I've heard so far!
First of all, the stone-wall surrounding that family cemetery is absolutely gorgeous! Very impressive, indeed, with the arch-way entrance, the wrought-iron gate, and the large round/orb corner decorations.
That family was obviously one of great wealth/prominence in the area. When I saw the large hole in the ground, my very first assumption was that some grave robbing had occurred so, yes, I definitely agree with you about that -- especially since mounds of earth were discernible. There's NO WAY the family, nor any cemetery caretakers (i.e grave diggers, slaves) would have been allowed to leave piles of dirt in the middle of the family plot like that -- it would have definitely been hauled off or, at the very least, smoothed out flat and tidied up.
I also agree with you about that large pile of field-stones behind the cemetery -- I'm sure you're 100% correct about that being the family's slave cemetery. The large pile is probably the grave of their most-trusted, prominent slave... with the other individual stones and bricks being markers for the rest of that slave's family that, do doubt, lived/worked for the Hutchinson's as well.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE find out in the woods!!!! I so wish the stones that were knocked over were at least laying face up so you could have documented more of them. I believe some were definitely vandalized... although, a couple of those markers were extremely thick and heavy, weighing TONS, which would require GREAT force to be knocked over, so perhaps some were naturally knocked over by huge trees falling or even lightning strikes. We'll never know, I guess.
Enjoyed this video IMMENSELY!!! Thank you, so much, for finding this wonderful place and bringing us along!!! Stellar video all around!!!
And now I HAVE to read all the comments to see if any further History has been uncovered by your other viewers! It's always so fascinating to read what they find out by doing a little digging themselves -- so HUGE PROPS go out to them as well!!!!
Take care... and stay healthy!
Valerie
What a truly peaceful place to be laid to rest. In spite of the damage, some simply from being there for approximately 200 years and some, sadly, maybe by human hands, it is still an incredible, hauntingly beautiful place. I thank you for your ongoing care and reverence of the resting places that you find, the reading of the names and the respect you consistently show. And, ya know, I’m pretty sure they do too. Soldier on, young man and Godspeed.
Very Well said, #SedoraGreen
Stupendous find Robert ! My jaw dropped to the ground as I'm sure yours did at first sight of this amazing cemetery. The second time I watched it, I was imagining myself sitting on top of the wall having a conversation with the family, asking them all kinds of questions. The obelisk looked like highly polished black marble. Can you imagine what it took to polish it with no electrical polisher ??
Rich folks graveyard...an entire family plot THE HUTCHINSON'S. Probably land owners. Good one mate. Be safe. Much love from NYC
Since the time I have seen and watched your TH-cam channel I was so hooked and I just couldn’t stop watching all of your videos. I have always been interested in American History as much as I am with our own (Filipino here! 🇵🇭). I always wonder what these lands looked like in their time long forgotten..😊 Keep safe and God bless!😇
Pinoy here, been subscribed to this channel for more than a year already and I love all these old cemetery videos.
Richie Rich hello there Kababayan!🥳 I’m so happy that I’m not the only one with with this weird habit of visiting old cemeteries with Rob..😅😅😅
Thanks, y’all are awesome!
@@AdventuresIntoHistory Nah, you ARE awesome bro! =)
@@sarahtiffany5934 Weird in a good way kababayan, it makes us think of our own mortality.
I really like your videos. I would love to do what you do. Thanks.
I told my husband and grandson that when I die I don't want a headstone , I only want a white wooden cross. Because I could not see anyone coming back to visit. But bless my grandson, he got upset and told me he would for sure visit my grave. He hugged me so tight as he said that. How I do love that boy (he was 24).
You should travel to Highgate cemetery in UK. It’s awesome.
There had to be a plantation near by.
What a set up they had. Too bad about the possible grave robbing though.
After watching your video I can be almost 100 percent certain this cemetery was desecrated. Most likely by devil worshipers and thieves. The was obviously a wealthy and prominent family. Sad to see. Thank you sir for documenting these forgotten cemeteries.
Very impressive. Hope that you are able to find out a little more of the history behind that cemetery. Like you said, you can tell that there must have been a foundation of money to support such an elaborate plot.
In 1860 he was worth $22,800.
I’m consistently impressed by the places you discover. This cemetery is incredible, the work that would have gone into it. Such a shame things don’t last.
For all the money that family had, they couldn't keep the headstones from being destroyed.
They were probably dead 100 years or more before the were destroyed
Apparently when trace family from this site, I would guess not too rich descendants. Still haven't found head of family links.
Kind of hard to maintain your own grave from 6 feet beneath it.😏
Financial situations probably caused loss of perpetude care...1901 last internment? Just 28 yrs later... was the Crash of Wall Street! NOT so good for anyone! TAUGHT in my genealogy GROUPS and BOOKS: you have to find the local history or regional on your area of interest, and of the time your ancestors lived and go from there on the economic times, SOCIAL Morays, Religious beliefs and the various family TREE involvements; hobbies, talents, careers, and political times too. Science for farmers, medicine, manufacturing, and crafts...all these are what MAKES up a family...Why History is SO IMPORTANT and the ERASING / Destruction of these statues monumentsn & Cities by RADICALS, JUST AS BAD AS ISIS overseas, and important and not so people, TELL the cultures, GOOD OR BAD, make up the lives of people ACCEPTABLE or not... Transportation can also develop problems or a boon of income or loss...Study all you can, document your finds, sketch your plots, no. the graves and enter names and dates on another page and their assignment no.s on your maps NAMING THE MAP/CEMETERY, LOCATION, GPS WOULD BE A GREAT THING TOO. RECORD YOUR NAMEN THE DATE CREATEDN ALONG WITH YOUR CURRENT CONTACT INFO TOO...

Somewhere vary close should be a home site.
I was thinking that in the past folk would be buried with valuables, especially ladies. Some wanted to keep their jewelry with them. That would encourage grave robbers.
That tradition of being buried with ones jewelry made many rich funeral directors. Remember, they were the last to handle the deceased. My oh my, just think about that awhile.

No matter how much is spent on marble , granite, and wrought iron, if no one cares after everyone is gone, it's just more stone in the forest.
Vernon Land indeed
Somebody cares. There are photos of the plot on Findagrave.com
Nice looking cemetery it does look like grave robbery unfortunately
450th... Priceless! I can sit here and envision what once was a spectacular plantation, they indeed must have had great wealth. I agree with you Robert, the destruction was made by humans, not time itself.
Thank You for the respect you show to families in these cemetaries. And Thank You for the journey. We done.
Very impressive cemetery! So sad it is in just bad shape.
this is great! I do so hope that you're uploading these headstones to Find A Grave, and/or others, for people who don't know that their ancestors are buried in the woods in the middle of nowhere, or are unable to get there! You do a great work!
I think Nancy would of been happy you uncovered her as seems the family for what ever reason has forgotten them all very sad Really enjoyed this and cant belieave you found this in middle of nowhere
Thank you for having such dignity and respect as you preserve remember what was forgotten and lost
That was really beautiful at one time. Still impressive but sad with the broken stones and the destroyed gravesite. They must have been very wealthy people. Thank you ,Robert
You'd think their homestead would be fairly close - any rock wall foundations near? very cool, and sadly forgotten.
JRues23 there house is right up the road from this it’s called the Hutchinson house 😅 they turned it into a wedding home for pictures and what not.
Hallucinogenics -/- this house is gorgeous, I believe it’s privately owned now. (LD Hutchinson House). From what I understand there was a house nearer to the cemetery which no longer stands. Maybe this was his parents home ? I’d love to see photos of it.
Lisa Knell it’s really pretty I’ve Been out there just to have something to do drove by and stopped and checked it out. Mainly drove on the dirt trails and avoided private property markings.
Hallucinogenics -/- I’m envious. I need to come and explore the Georgia backroads, I love the old homes and cemeteries!
That on 2:00 is granite, not marble. Granite do a better job in competing with time and elements., it is much more dense and harder then marble, but interesting thing, marble is more expensive then granite so I assume that people use to chose more expensive material to show their endorsment for their late loved ones. I noticed that in US, marble win over granite headstones with huge margine, newer headstones are more done from granite. Here in Europe was oposite, here on our still active comunity cemetery with first graves from 1880-is there`s only two headstones from marble, everything else is granite. Great video as always and great little cemetery in woods, realy impresive entrance and that large obelisc.
Yes I can imagine the wealth. Just thinking about the possible history of the cemetery. I hope you can find out more about this place. Thank you. What a place.
What a joy to see. I’ve had your channel on all day, my kids and I love/respect old cemetery’s. Thank you for honoring these historical places!
I really have so much respect for you 🙏
How carefully you try to clean off dirt to document the 'forgotten' graves.
Thank you for that ❤
That is AMAZING that was expansive even back when it was made way out in the middle nowhere I wonder if there used to be a house at one time near by thank you for sharing
Would luv to do some EVPS There a d some pictures and recording BEAUTIFUL and old lots of history 😍😍😍♥️
For the "ghost hunters", let the dead rest in peace.
Oh but the dead love to talk. They have messages and stories to tell.
literally this is up the road from me I’m stoked watching this video this place at night and the second grave yard is reallllly active. I can’t say active in sight but hearing things is 100%. I have pictures here at night and day. You can get some responses there tho in evp.
@@lucypearson6176 there is no such thing as ghosts only demons, read the Bible, the dead are sleeping and have no interaction with the living .
@@lucypearson6176 yes they do!! I have talked to a bunch all over Oregon 👻🙏❤👍
I have been watching your TH-cam channel for over 1 year. love to look at. Greetings from Ålesund in Norway 👍🇧🇻😉
The main monument with the obelisk indicates that the plantation owner was a freemason, the 'A' on the other headstones could be the 'compass' which is also another masonic symbol. Interesting find but so sad to see the amount of vandalism and neglect that has devastated what originally must have been quite an impressive family gravesite.
Beautiful! But it is so sad that someone would destroy a souls resting place. Thank you for documenting these places for historical reasons and respect for the dead.
Your channel is my favorite. I like the history that you are sharing with every body.
AMAZING IS RIGHT! So sad that the ancestors of this family don’t care for it better....but then I think ....” do I care for my grandparents graves, or parents graves?”.....SHAMEFULLY not like I should. At first yes... but 20 years later about every 2-3 years I check them... 😢 I’m sure my children ...as a matter of fact...I KNOW MY CHILDREN HAVE NOT GONE BACK TO MY PARENTS GRAVE SITE SINCE WE PLACED THEM THERE”. 😢😢😢😢. How quickly we are forgotten....
Thank you Robert for bringing these incredible videos to us.... we need a little REMINDER of how we treat our family’s gravesites.
God bless!
@cobainzlady correct... sorry!
This place was amazing! Just goes to show that in life we head very different paths, but in death, no matter what color we are, amounts of money we have, we are all the same.
Hi Robert. I found Susan E. Piper grave documentation on Find A Grave. Their site has her death documented as Nov. 24, 1930 and burial location as Hutchinson Cemetery.
This is so beautiful and Incredible and so sad the state it is in...You are right, how time changes things...Great video Robert!
Thank you Robert for documenting this beautiful place.
My Mother and I use to enjoy finding old forgotten cemeteries too
I cannot believe how you find all of these interesting old cemeteries! Polished granite by the way.
Amazing discovery. Beautiful and isolated. Looks as though someone tried to tidy up not too long ago.
I think you are a respectful and compassionate man
Lorenzo Dow Hutchinson --- Quite a bit about the cemetery (including an account of the giant stone's placement) via Ancestry.com. Don't believe I can attach the relevant document, the story is from a fairly recent Harris County history.
Named after "Crazy Dow", makinghistorynow.wordpress.com/2020/04/21/gods-oddballs-2-they-called-him-crazy-dow-part-1/
Vernon Land Amazing! Just found out the most fantastic information on this person. Thank you!
I so love love seeing old cemeteries like this, what a story that could be told of the people who were buried there
I love how you find these cemeteries and take us all on the journey
When I seen the arc way and the size of the monument,I thought plantation money. Unfortunately, the house is long gone. Nice fine. You care to share the location... love e visit myself.
YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW UP ON THIS ONE ! THIS PLACE HAS SERIOUS HISTORY !
Great great find! Thanks for taking us back in time, makes us imagine this family's lifestyle and wealth. Sad to see the family doesn't maintain its heritage, may have been lost and forgotten with time. Thanks for sharing, such beauty in history
someone that knew exactly how those pieces went could be put back together and it would be outlandish beautiful. the open grave upsets me. How far from any people was the cemetery?
How amazing. Love the history and am curious about their plantation home too.
Yes, perhaps their slaves were buried there! Would make sense.
I think that monument is made out of porphyry. It´s a rare type of granite stone that you can only find it in a few places in the world and it´s very expensive (but cheaper than marble). Around $100/kg now days. They come in red and black (well, deep dark purple/deep dark green really) colour. The black porphyry that this monument is made of, is found in the mid west of Sweden, around the mountain area of a small town called Älvdalen (roughly translated into Fairy Valley). The factory in Älvdalen was firstly founded in 1788 by a man called Erik Hagström. The red porphyry is found in southern Europe and northern Africa.
Hi Robert & Cody, wow now that's an impressive family cemetery, beautiful stonework too. I really hope that grave wasn't robbed as that would just be so sad for the family. Thank you for sharing this amazing place. xx
In the census of Tax Records Nicholas Hutchinson had 20 to 24 slaves at any given time. The cemetery is described as having been "disturbed". There could be a lot of slaves buried there. Somewhere around an area called Negro Hill, in Harris County, Georgia was probably a huge plantation with slave quarters. The Hutchinsons owned over 2000 acres.
Thank you for what you do!! I Love Your Adventures.
One of your best finds yet
Please Keep Us Informed Robert . Thank You
Fantastic. I sense a difference in architecture between the gate, the ground grave stones and walls as one type, and the obelisk as another. Since all the people on the obelisk have separate graves on the ground too, I wonder if the obelisk was added by descendants later around the turn of the 20th Century?
Very close! 1890’s. That’s when the wall and obelisk were built.
This is fascinating, this guy has so much respect for the places he visits, so nice to see.
Thank you guys so much. Incredible
Thank you for this! I've done recording and reclamation work on the cemeteries in my area as well as doing websites for genealogy with them and I want to thank you for the care and respect that you give the individuals buried and cemeteries uncovered in your videos. I do it to recover and preserve history. It's a terrible thing to have it all lost. Thanks for showing such a sympathetic attitude to these burial grounds!
The narrator has such a heart and soul.
I hope you take photos and upload to Billion Grave &/or Find A Grave. People like me doing family history appreciate it SO much.
That was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I love how respectful you all are ! Keep doing what you do, keep history alive one gravestone after another ❤️
Wow. Stunning, amazing, heartbreakingly beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Thank you for your videos! It is nice to see someone respecting old cemeteries. So much history to be gain from that.
What a wonderful find. I love older cemeteries. Loads of history right there.
Amazing! Great Rob! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for what you do!!!! Love your channel much love from Huntington Park California L.A.
Must of been someone really important or just rich!! Ohhh I just saw your comment!!! I don't see those stones easily falling over. The base stones are too even.....jeez just saw your other comment about grave robbing. :( That thought was on my mind with that one that seems dug out. There may be a separate cemetery for the slaves. An absolutely AMAZING find.
First time viewer, loved it! Love that you read names and dates. No one else does. Can't wait to see more!
Appreciate ya, man! Much love from Canada.
Fascinating and so trerribly sad. Love your work and passion to keep this history alive. Thank you Robert & Co
