    I know of a person who just decided to look after an old grave. When they visited their Dad they'd pull the weeds at this other grave of a soldier. It would be great if people could volunteer somehow to look after graves like these. But in the absence of that it's so special that you guys spent time there and cared to read them. There's such a time gap between the people who died and us today, you'd wonder what they'd think of it all 🌼🌸🌼

    Georgia Ben Grant was the daughter of Edward A Williams and Elizabeth Davis Williams. James Munroe Grant was her husband, Eddie and Jimmie Shirlie were daughters of Georgia and James Grant. Sarah Cornelia Williams was also daughter of EA & EE Williams. Haven't figured out Bettie Williams Johnson yet. Probably another daughter (Mary B ? in census records) and Mary Pauline Johnson was Bettie's daughter?? And Fletcher Carmen Grant was also a daughter of Georgia and James Grant.

I am not sure that is the case in Georgia. But it does get pretty cold there occasionally. There are many stacked stone graves near where my uncle was buried this year in southern Illinois.

    If you are ever in Atlanta, look up Hollywood Cemetery, the portion on Gun Club Rd is non-perpetual care, it's a forest with tombstones all over the place (both sides of Gun Club Rd). The latest tombstone that I saw there, the person died in 1973. Records were destroyed in a fire back in 1973ish.

      If a tree falls in the woods, and Noone sees it fall..did it still fall? Don't be sad that nothing matters, instead I think that if nothing really matters then ANYTHING can matter! I mean that, you can decide what's important and what the meaning is. Also even if your forgotten your past energy and influence still creates waves in the world, at least for a little while. It can be anything! Maybe you saved a catipillar about to get squashed and now it's a butterfly that continues on.

I don't know if someone went there but didn't finish it or if a family member just added them from written documents they had. It appears to be a family cemetery or maybe even 2. Be nice if y'all could take pictures of all of the headstones then finish the cemetery page on Find A Grave. This really needs to be documented. I bet this was a beautiful cemetery a long time ago.

      Robert rarely gives the location of his finds because he has respect for the current land-owners, and the cemetery itself. You are about the dozenth person on here that I've responded to because folks just expect everything to be public these days. I have three "forgotten cemeteries" within walking distance of my home, and I quit sharing their location long ago. I have had to deal with ghost-hunters, amateur history buffs, metal detectorists and vandals, and I'm sick of it. A few old-timers know about them, and keep their mouths shut. I gladly share names and dates with legitimate genealogists, but no way would I pass on where these ancient people sleep anymore.

      They've done a lot of great work in putting together this video and so many more like it. They probably don't have enough time to do all of that.

    Hi Robert, Cody and other Robert, happy new year to you and your families, I hope you have an awesome 2021. Why are there so many overgrown and forgotten cemeteries in Georgia ???. I do think it's a great shame that there are no real laws governing the maintenance of all cemeteries, there are a lot more people now trying to trace their ancestors and there must be quite a proportion of those people that just cannot find the cemetery where their Great great Grandfather etc is buried, because the cemetery where he is interred has just been lost to time and people forget where it used to be. Thank you for finding and documenting those long lost cemeteries that you come across so that people now have a chance of finding their loved one's. Stay safe and take care, much love. xx🙏💖

      Rural graveyards often let go because the family and/or church die off. In rural areas, older folks are forced to move to town to be closer to hospitals and stores. .
      For those who stay behind, maintaining a rural cemetery is ridiculously hard when you have vandals, ghost-hunters and well-meaning history buffs trespassing. Things can get ugly. In most cases, the best thing for it is to let it go back to nature so everyone can sleep in peace. Except for the occasional visit from someone like Robert, who is respectful of the living and the dead.

    Robert's some of the inscriptions on these stones can put a lump in your throat.

    Hi to you guys,
    I used to love going and checking graveyards with a friend who liked it as much as I did.
    I always looked for the oldest and the children
    The older headstones always had nice if not beautiful words or sonnets....
    I have something to throw out to each of you....
    Totally in respect.
    Since this is something you guys love to do......
    Heres my thought:
    It would be really be even more cool if you EACH carried with you in your vehicles,
    A bag containing brushes for the graves as well as other utensils.
    Another being...a headstone solution that you can apply n brush the words so that they are much more easy to read plus...you would be helping these people be even more...
    Less forgotten.
    Yep....
    A bag on the run.
    Just my 2 cent worth since i too am a fan of what you do

    It amazes me how many unknown people and cemeteries you all find. Just makes you wonder how many more are waiting to be discovered. If it weren’t for you fellas, they might not ever be found and lost to history.
