Once again I can not thank you all enough for what you do to save history of these people. May you continue to do the service that you do to save their names and history. Take care and have a blessed day.❤️🍀 Blessings, Teresa
Thank you for sharing this video, and for all the effort that went into filming, editing and posting it. The luminous green of the trees, the deep red of the clay and the easy banter and respectful presentation all came together in the beautiful South Georgia sunshine to make this one of my favorites. Great way to start my day out here in Nevada. Thank you again so much.
What a lovely little family cemetery in the midst of a beautiful, quiet wooded area! These folks may not be remembered by too many today, but God knew them better than anybody on this earth, could. He never forgets any of us!
Well-done. That road was definitely dicey, & despite having to make that long hike, ultimately was the right decision.---Also, the scenery combined with the geology highlights, made this visit a real treat.---And, I do love listening to your birdsong.---I'd like to think your friend in Heaven was looking over your shoulder despite not getting there in person.---Great family outing?!
You and your friend did an excellent job of finding the cemetery! Loved the woods and intact fence! I always like your video's your do Robert (Neon Green)! Keep up the good work, and make sure you take a brush, and pruning cutters just in case! Have a great week!!! And thank you
Hi Other Robert and friends, oh the lady who passed knows sure enough you found it. Somehow, I’m sure she was walking with you. Thank you, God Bless. Joyce ❤️🙏🇺🇸
Admirable persistence at locating this amazing cemetery Mr & Mrs Other Robert!!! Serious history would have been overlooked if not for your determination!! I salute y'all. ❤
The other Robert it amazes me how you and Robert find these cemeteries that are in such hard places to go to and I commend you both for doing these wonderful stories about those families that came before us I'm so proud of both of you it's hard work and lots of walking and getting cut up by the briers but you are so dedicated it shows the love and respect you have for them. Love you both and just wanted you to know that . ❤❤Hugs from Maria in Upton Massachusetts
The clay formations along that road are just so cool, makes me wish I finished my geology course back in the dark ages...But the cemetery is so old and beautiful and so well kept. Makes me wonder if there might be an old homestead nearbye. Thank you (to both Roberts and the assistant with the good eyes). 😸
Great video. When you find these old and forgotten cemeteries deep in the Georgia woods, I am reminded that long ago these were solemn places for families to gather and mourn the loss of loved ones.
Great discovery Robert. War of 1812 soldiers & wives got to obtain a lot of land in the land lotteries in Ga. My great great grandfather on mothers side came from Lincoln Cty Ga to Upson Cty Ga & is buried there with an 1812 having served headstone.
I have always ❤ been fascinated by the Tombstones in Cementaries ..I started helping my grandmother tend the family plot..in N.C..when I was a small child..I am 70 years old and still love the writing on the Stones. So much history..thank you for what you do.
Just wondered if you keep records of military people and regiments and gps so later you can help someone find a lost family member. I know that would be a lot of extra work.
What a wonderful journey! Great to see the countryside and all of the birds singing. Other Robert, be careful of those mud daubers! They can be MEAN! It's so good of the hunt club for taking such good care of the cemetery. Bless them, and you for all that you do!
I'm only at the 8:30 point, but I've enjoyed the walk up the road so far. When the other Robert says, "Ya'll hear that bird?", four different birds are calling. The loudest one is a Carolina Wren, but a Northern Cardinal, an American Redstart, and a Red-eyed Vireo are also singing.
I'm sure Find A Grave or some other site, would love to have pictures of the headstones, with names, dates, location of the cemetery. So many people doing ancestry research now, and so many gaps to fill. Wonderful that people are finding these places, that families had hoped would last through time.
Robert & Mrs O., I'm just worn out walking that road with you, and knowing you've only gone half way. Robert, you have a penchant for geology. Fascinating how the geologic history can be told through that road cut. The sandstone and limestone is obvious. but where does the red clay come from? Whoever has kept up the Whaley Family Cemetery has done a wonderful job. There's a lot of love in this cemetery.
I live in Elkhart Indiana and we have an old cemetery that has 600 civil war soldiers buried there. I don’t know how many of the other wars but that fact I do know. That is really awesome that you came across a soldier from the war of 1812!!!
So wonderful to see this old family cemetery with the old fence and beautiful gate still intact. Many many years must have passed by since the family names have been spoken. Thank you for sharing this piece of history with us. Best wishes from Angie in Goathland North Yorkshire England 🇬🇧
Love your videos. Can you do a video on Demopolis, Alabama, Marengo County, Alabama.. Gaineswood Mansion, Glover Mausoleum, Whitfield Canal, My parents are from there.
Hi other robert and friends you done a good job and explaining about the cemetery there in a pleasant area so peaceful hope you had a good birthday my birthday is on Monday all the best everyone Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
Thanks for the walk. My Dad and I used to take Sunday drives on the back roads of central Oklahoma. He would tell me abt all the flora and birds etc. I sure miss those days. (He had a 4 wheel drive rag top Willies Jeep.)
Beautiful color! Ha! Ha! Ha! - "there is only room for one Robert" - carved in the red clay!! It was not just uncensored but brought to our attention. The duel continues! The Other Robert, I cannot find a connection between M.W. Whaley and Parrott - but that doesn't mean there isn't. When the contract comes up July 1, you'd better add; access to and use of an ATV, 4-wheel drive or military vehicle of equal capabilities, at no charge for use and all gas and/or fuel supplied. 😉 Appreciate all of your efforts on this one especially. Thank you, Other Robert. 👍👍❣❣
Those are morning glory flowers on the iron gate. Their ability to rise each morning and sleep each evening resembles human life. It's a flower symbolising life, love, and death. 💀
Really enjoyed the nature walk! A little surprised but very happy to see the cemetery in good condition considering how old it is! Thank you other Robert & Mrs!
Ya know, my Great Great Grandmother is buried in a lonesome cemetery in North Dakota with 7 other people. A church stood there once. A local farmer has it fenced off and takes care of it. My GG Grandmother was born in Etoban, France and went to North Dakota in a wagon with 5 sons. Her husband was a n'er do well and she left him back east. She died in 1915.
When I worked in Georgia I'd occasionally come upon a nice old cemetery like this one and stop to check them out. Couldn't help but imagine what life was like for the folks buried there. Always peaceful, always perfect the way it should be. So much history and just wonderful memories preserved there. You better be careful of them bees all dressed up like a big ole flower. Bless you all.
Enjoyed the video very much! The old cemeteries are my favorite subject. This one is in such good shape (except for the one broken stone) and very peaceful.
Truly a peaceful place to rest your bones. I feel the same about the name change LoL I tell my friends Sidestep Adventures in History. A toyota tacoma old school could get there no problem 4 wheel drive
Hello from Michigan. Happy Birthday The Other Robert. Hello to the woman with you, wife/daughter? You need to be credited by name or family position. Are you listening The Other Robert? She is a big help. I like her accent. I like your films and watch for them. Keep up the good work.
Hello 👋 My great great grandma was a Whaley. Her Dad was James Kelly Whaley. I know that James Kelly Whaley went to California because he had relatives there. The famous Whaley House in California in old Town. It's been on those haunted house shows. Those were his relatives. Anyway James Kelly Whaley outlived my great grandmother Peachy Ann Whaley.(James's daughter) She died very young, she wasn't even in her 30s. She was married to John Marion Hume. They had 4 children. He got remarried and also moved to California and left all his children by Peachy Whaley in Oklahoma. That was about 100 years ago. But I'm going to do some research and see where James Kelly Whaley came from. Thank you Mr. Robert. Appreciate you.
Hi Robert, are you near Carrollton, Georgia? I'm looking for my great great grandfather. I found he is buried in Beulah Baptist Church Cemetery there. His name was Jahiel J. Black. His wife's name was Nancy. He was a civil war veteran. She had to fight in court to get approved for his pension after his death.
Do you take photos of every Headstone you uncover or find by chance? I want to thank you again for posting these videos, this is the 6-7 video where you are showing distant relatives . It is so helping me on my work on my extended family tree! Thanks again. :) W. D. Whaley (Wilkin Davis Whaley) is my 8th cousin ! Henry Lafayette Hart had 2 marriages (wives) in his life, Fredonia and Nancy Whaley . Wilkin Davis Whaley's wife , M.W. Whaley, her maiden name was Malinda W. Lindsey.
Wow Robert you did walk aways, but to see this family plot is amazing, its so interesting to see the headstones dating back to the 1800's, and then the little girl who lived one month, so sad. As usual Robert you gave a great video, please keep strong and continue this unique work you do......
That is a sweet place. It's like going back in time. Just beautiful the big flat. I wonder what kind of a plantation it was . Thank you for sharing. You out did yourself
You're doing a great job other Robert. Glad the hunt club is maintaining the cemetery. Don't see to many war of 1812 graves in the area you're exploring.
I think you need to renegotiate your contract with Robert Wright.. you need hazard pay for out hiking in the hear like that and he should provide plenty if cold lemonade and other refreshments for you and your valuable crew. I'm sure he's sitting in the shade at the old Byrd farm enjoying lemonade and snacks. Lol. I really enjoy your adventures
Thank you both for showing us this quiet and lovely cemetery, The road is awful, just as well you didn't try to drive it, but it was worthwhile. Cheers, Rik Spector
crazy! while watching this video, I was doing research on the war of 1812 and was going through different google searches and it said that Febuary 3rd is the day that is associated with no one being born on that day. I continue your video only to see a couple minutes later after where I paused it at the war of 1812 marker for there to be a grave with the birthdate of Febuary 3rd.
At 3:40 those looked like those wasps that fly around over the wet grass in the summer. They don't seem to be interested in people at all. The ones I see are blue. I was surprised to see that big modern bridge out in the woods on a dirt road. Around here the bridges out in the woods on dirt roads are wooden bridges. Actually we have a lot of wooden bridges around here, but in many cases they pave over the wooden decks, which I don't understand. They've only been doing that in the last 30-35 years. I'm surprised that you didn't comment on the fact that all the stones in that cemetery have been cleaned. But that's great. Great to see that.
Very cool cemetery Other Robert! I have noticed that we have many soldiers graves who fought in the War of 1812 but few who were Revolutionary War veterans. If I remember correctly, that area wasn't settled by white folks much in the late 1700s but I know that Georgia was a hotbed of activity during the Revolution. The problem here is that the war was largely between Georgians! Most Georgians sided with the British crown for two reasons: the first reason was that the Crown had given many of the settled families a way out of debtor's prison in England, (Savannah was almost entirely a debtor's city when Oglethorpe founded it) but the biggest reason was that the northern colonies tended to put heavy tariffs on their own goods that were shipped down here! (Sound familiar?) Of course, the US Government settled that type of commerce squabbling shortly after the first elections were held for all of the states but I couldn't help but notice that a Whaley boy fought in both of the deciding battles over US commerce! 1812 totally broke ties with English control of US commerce and the Civil War unified the states into one country where the central government controls both state and interstate commerce to this day. They were an impressive family indeed! P.S. So folks know, I am in total agreement that freeing the slaves was the most important part of the Civil War. I do not believe in slavery in any way, shape or form! It actually took until the 1890s to the early 1900s for commerce to be corrected equally between the States again. I wish equality for all races would be corrected as well!
Yes! My dad was big on study of the Civil War He said that if you grew cotton in GA and shipped it north by train you got a tarrif each state passed through to the mills in the NE . Another issue was states rights . A lot of cotton was sent to Savannah to be shipped to England The cloth and thread then shipped to the states was taxed making it expensive. Following the history of quilt making in this country you can see how each scrap of cloth was prized and salvaged for the most humble coverings. The social elite carefully used French toile in their counterpanes and intricate mariners compass. The war between the states led to a more equitable distribution and less expensive manufacture of cloth to the expanding country .
@@annettegraff8323 thank you for finishing my post so accurately! I was afraid that it was too long to begin with! You're quite right, the South was kept agricultural and stayed in trouble because of the tariffs. That's why England and France both supported the South during the war as they were conducting fair trade with Europe.
that is so neat.. All that area must've belonged to the whaley oir hart family.. It very intersting to see something liket that out in the middle o the stick..
Just wondering about the elevation of those side, wondering if at some time, the elevation was all alot higher and at some pont someone started digging down?? but why??the place is rather pretty, with all the different birds singing. back in the day when pride was taken in the workmanship of making a gate and a fence, insteadl of the plain crap they have now. awesome to find another grave where someone fought in the war of 1812. glad to know that SOMEONE actually takes care of the Waley's family cemetery. a shame that you friend is now gone and she never saw this, but know she is smiling from above knowing you found it. Great Video.
Y older infant twin brother and my step great grandmother was burried in a small cemetery in Custas .Union co. new Mexico. Always wanted go and find them...A new highway now cuts thru that area snd area is a mystery known only to God. Thankyou both Roberts for your searched and recordings.
Around the curve 22 miles away probably. Good exercise O.R. all that walking .Thanks for video. Georgia must be teaming with lost grave sites everywhere.
Hey there O'Robert👋🏼 I'm sure ur friend is smiling down at you. After all, she may be the one who helped lead you to that cemetery. Sure was an awful long way up & down that road. Very interesting walk too. Luv that you showed us the various soil layers. Always wondered about actually making earth ware outta our Georgia home clay. Those yellows & pinks were pretty. Good to see this cemetery is well kept so far off the beaten path. One thing O'Robert .. I know I've said thid b4 but please dont let the camera drop below the line ur attemptimg to read. Ur having a discussion & we don't know what ut talking about bc we can't see it. I'm sure ur arm gets tired holding the camera but at least go back to it so thr viewers can see. Thnx for sharing all the adventures with us. Blessing to you & ur producer .. b safe & well Robert. ❣️🙂🙏🏼
I hope you called Robert to give you guys a ride back to the car! Wait a minute. Since this is *your* video, that makes you Robert, and him the other Robert. You should gift him a nice, neon yellow shirt.
If that ain’t dedication… I think the other Robert said they walked about 2 miles to get to this cemetery…

Hey Robert! Those cliffs remind me of Providence Canyon. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. 🥰
You and your friend did an excellent job of finding the cemetery! Loved the woods and intact fence! I always like your video's your do Robert (Neon Green)! Keep up the good work, and make sure you take a brush, and pruning cutters just in case! Have a great week!!! And thank you

Fredonia M Hart is daughter of Wilkins Davis Whaley & his wife Malinda Lindsey - she married Henry Lafayette Hart in 1867.
She is my Great Grandmother. I hope to visit her gravesite in person! The Hart’s come from KY and Fort Boonesborough.
Hope you had a very Happy Birthday Other Robert! Thank you for your dedication to finding and documenting cemeteries and our history.
What a wonderful journey! Great to see the countryside and all of the birds singing. Other Robert, be careful of those mud daubers! They can be MEAN! It's so good of the hunt club for taking such good care of the cemetery. Bless them, and you for all that you do!
Thank you kind sir for your dedication in what you do, and for saluting ALL our service members.
I'm only at the 8:30 point, but I've enjoyed the walk up the road so far. When the other Robert says, "Ya'll hear that bird?", four different birds are calling. The loudest one is a Carolina Wren, but a Northern Cardinal, an American Redstart, and a Red-eyed Vireo are also singing.
Thanks❣️
Thank you very much other Robert and the producer. That gate was absolutely beautiful.
Huge dedication!!! Thank you Other Robert and Producer. 😉
God Bless your friend and we honor J.W for his service to God and Country. And thank you for the beautiful walk and the amazing nature.
I'm so happy to see an old cemetery that is being cared for. Keep up the good work the other Robert!
I'm sure Find A Grave or some other site, would love to have pictures of the headstones, with names, dates, location of the cemetery. So many people doing ancestry research now, and so many gaps to fill. Wonderful that people are finding these places, that families had hoped would last through time.
Peaceful cemetery. Nice to see it's looked after ❤
Someone is taking care of the cemetery. The head stones have been cleaned. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Perhaps relatives.

I live in Elkhart Indiana and we have an old cemetery that has 600 civil war soldiers buried there. I don’t know how many of the other wars but that fact I do know.

Good job and great video, Mr./Mrs. Other Robert! I think y’all need to talk Robert into providing a Humvee for the cemetery hunts! LOL
I wish all old cemeteries and graveyards were taken care of this well
11:50 AM, CST, May 21, We thoroughly enjoy these videos. Thanks so much for your commitment to history!

I really enjoyed the walk and tour of the old cemetery but I wouldn't want to be on that road in rain storm.
Other Robert post birthday 🎉 keep exploring and bringing history to life.
Hello from Michigan. Happy Birthday The Other Robert. Hello to the woman with you, wife/daughter? You need to be credited by name or family position. Are you listening The Other Robert? She is a big help. I like her accent. I like your films and watch for them. Keep up the good work.
Someone needs to tag that big tree for removal before it falls
Thank you for the tour today Robert. Very pleasant to see this video. See you on the next! ❤❤😊😊
Awesome find.
Your enthusiasm and love for the land comes out in all that you say and do on your trek…and strokes the love for nature in your fellow travellers…❤
Hello 👋
My great great grandma was a Whaley. Her Dad was James Kelly Whaley. I know that James Kelly Whaley went to California because he had relatives there. The famous Whaley House in California in old Town. It's been on those haunted house shows. Those were his relatives. Anyway James Kelly Whaley outlived my great grandmother Peachy Ann Whaley.(James's daughter) She died very young, she wasn't even in her 30s. She was married to John Marion Hume. They had 4 children. He got remarried and also moved to California and left all his children by Peachy Whaley in Oklahoma. That was about 100 years ago. But I'm going to do some research and see where James Kelly Whaley came from. Thank you Mr. Robert. Appreciate you.
Hi Robert, are you near Carrollton, Georgia? I'm looking for my great great grandfather. I found he is buried in Beulah Baptist Church Cemetery there. His name was Jahiel J. Black. His wife's name was Nancy. He was a civil war veteran. She had to fight in court to get approved for his pension after his death.
Do you take photos of every Headstone you uncover or find by chance? I want to thank you again for posting these videos, this is the 6-7 video where you are showing distant relatives . It is so helping me on my work on my extended family tree! Thanks again. :) W. D. Whaley (Wilkin Davis Whaley) is my 8th cousin ! Henry Lafayette Hart had 2 marriages (wives) in his life, Fredonia and Nancy Whaley . Wilkin Davis Whaley's wife , M.W. Whaley, her maiden name was Malinda W. Lindsey.
Thanks for the adventure Mr and Mrs Other Robert!!!
Your mystery tracks look to me like maybe a fox.
Wow Robert you did walk aways, but to see this family plot is amazing, its so interesting to see the headstones dating back to the 1800's, and then the little girl who lived one month, so sad. As usual Robert you gave a great video, please keep strong and continue this unique work you do......
That is a sweet place. It's like going back in time. Just beautiful the big flat. I wonder what kind of a plantation it was . Thank you for sharing. You out did yourself
You're doing a great job other Robert. Glad the hunt club is maintaining the cemetery. Don't see to many war of 1812 graves in the area you're exploring.
I think you need to renegotiate your contract with Robert Wright.. you need hazard pay for out hiking in the hear like that and he should provide plenty if cold lemonade and other refreshments for you and your valuable crew. I'm sure he's sitting in the shade at the old Byrd farm enjoying lemonade and snacks. Lol. I really enjoy your adventures
Thank you both for showing us this quiet and lovely cemetery,
The road is awful, just as well you didn't try to drive it, but it was
worthwhile.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
crazy! while watching this video, I was doing research on the war of 1812 and was going through different google searches and it said that Febuary 3rd is the day that is associated with no one being born on that day. I continue your video only to see a couple minutes later after where I paused it at the war of 1812 marker for there to be a grave with the birthdate of Febuary 3rd.
If you want to know more about the geological formations and how they were formed, read Genesis the 6th and 7th chapters of the Bible.
Great video as usual, other Robert.
All the best. 👍
Another great one Robert 👍🙏keep safe out there buddy
This is a cool old, well taken care of cemetery, thanks for posting
An ATV would have made the trip easy but you would have missed that beautiful nature
Definitely magnetic fishing, would be very interesting
At 3:40 those looked like those wasps that fly around over the wet grass in the summer. They don't seem to be interested in people at all. The ones I see are blue.
I was surprised to see that big modern bridge out in the woods on a dirt road. Around here the bridges out in the woods on dirt roads are wooden bridges. Actually we have a lot of wooden bridges around here, but in many cases they pave over the wooden decks, which I don't understand. They've only been doing that in the last 30-35 years.
I'm surprised that you didn't comment on the fact that all the stones in that cemetery have been cleaned. But that's great. Great to see that.
You guys got your cardio in today .😓 Ice cold bottled water should be included in the contact if it's not already.
Love the video Robert and your humor!
Good morning 🌞🌄 from Omaha Nebraska...u hope you have a great day 🤠
The Whaley family was prominent in San Diego. Wonder if they were related?
Very cool cemetery Other Robert! I have noticed that we have many soldiers graves who fought in the
War of 1812 but few who were Revolutionary War veterans. If I remember correctly, that area wasn't settled by white folks much in the late 1700s but I know that Georgia was a hotbed of activity during the Revolution. The problem here is that the war was largely between Georgians! Most Georgians sided with the British crown for two reasons: the first reason was that the Crown had given many of the settled families a way out of debtor's prison in England, (Savannah was almost entirely a debtor's city when Oglethorpe founded it) but the biggest reason was that the northern colonies tended to put heavy tariffs on their own goods that were shipped down here! (Sound familiar?) Of course, the US Government settled that type of commerce squabbling shortly after the first elections were held for all of the states but I couldn't help but notice that a Whaley boy fought in both of the deciding battles over US commerce! 1812 totally broke ties with English control of US commerce and the Civil War unified the states into one country where the central government controls both state and interstate commerce to this day. They were an impressive family indeed!
P.S. So folks know, I am in total agreement that freeing the slaves was the most important part of the Civil War. I do not believe in slavery in any way, shape or form! It actually took until the 1890s to the early 1900s for commerce to be corrected equally between the States again. I wish equality for all races would be corrected as well!
Yes! My dad was big on study of the Civil War He said that if you grew cotton in GA and shipped it north by train you got a tarrif each state passed through to the mills in the NE . Another issue was states rights . A lot of cotton was sent to Savannah to be shipped to England The cloth and thread then shipped to the states was taxed making it expensive. Following the history of quilt making in this country you can see how each scrap of cloth was prized and salvaged for the most humble coverings. The social elite carefully used French toile in their counterpanes and intricate mariners compass. The war between the states led to a more equitable distribution and less expensive manufacture of cloth to the expanding country .
@@annettegraff8323 thank you for finishing my post so accurately! I was afraid that it was too long to begin with! You're quite right, the South was kept agricultural and stayed in trouble because of the tariffs. That's why England and France both supported the South during the war as they were conducting fair trade with Europe.
Thanks for making the Journey to such a solemn and beautiful place in Georgia.
that is so neat.. All that area must've belonged to the whaley oir hart family.. It very intersting to see something liket that out in the middle o the stick..
Just wondering about the elevation of those side, wondering if at some time, the elevation was all alot higher and at some pont someone started digging down?? but why??the place is rather pretty, with all the different birds singing. back in the day when pride was taken in the workmanship of making a gate and a fence, insteadl of the plain crap they have now. awesome to find another grave where someone fought in the war of 1812. glad to know that SOMEONE actually takes care of the Waley's family cemetery. a shame that you friend is now gone and she never saw this, but know she is smiling from above knowing you found it. Great Video.
Y older infant twin brother and my step great grandmother was burried in a small cemetery in Custas .Union co. new Mexico. Always wanted go and find them...A new highway now cuts thru that area snd area is a mystery known only to God.
Thankyou both Roberts for your searched and recordings.
My mother in law’s last name is Wooten. Her 3rd husband was a Wooten & related to that Wooten
One of the best ways to save this cemetery is to see id any of the graves have readable names, record the cemetery and stones on Find a Grave.
Around the curve 22 miles away probably. Good exercise O.R. all that walking .Thanks for video. Georgia must be teaming with lost grave sites everywhere.
SALUTE to our American Heros!!
