one of the greatest perspectives I know in life is to go to a very old grave yard. You will see dates so old that everyone and anyone who ever knew them, whether they were common or famous are also dead. It gives one the wisdom that no matter what we do in this life, we will also be like these people. That the only thing we carry in life with us is our death. And that in the end, we are all equal when that time comes as it is our end.
Quick research (just looked at a couple family trees) shows Mary Mudd’s grandfather Thomas Mudd was also the 2nd great grandfather of Samuel Mudd. Interesting! Great video!
It is entirely unreasonable and completely unrealistic to think that every human to have ever lived deserves eternal remembrance. Nations die, cultures die, communities die. These are dead bodies, not people. They don't care either way, if they're remembered or not. These corpse gardens are emotional masturbation for the living, nothing more.
I want to go there and do a complete land clearing and cleaning , cut down trees that are on the tombstones , pick up some fallen tombstones and pave the trail to the cemetery, use a type of ink that stands the test of time and trace the words on the tombstones to better read the names of the people who laid there . Would love to go around America and refurbish a lot of forgotten cemeteries as well! You are awesome Mobile instinct!
Chris, thank you for sharing. This is interesting small cemetery. Glad to see that it is not that overgrown. Shout out to all volunteers who helped in the maintenance. Keep up the good work. 👍
Thank you Chris for such an insightful video. Old cemeteries are amazing and beautiful. To step Back in time is surreal. Hundreds of years of respect🙏🏻💙🙏🏻Thanks for all you do.
I wish you would go to the Savannah Georgia cemeteries, the Colonial Park, and Bonaventure, the history of those two cemeteries is amazing. Please go visit them
Thank you, Chris for another interesting old, forgotten Cemetery coverage. I often wonder if any of your followers ever find out about long lost and forgotten about relatives through various cemetery wanderings. God Bless and stay safe.
You started ut saying this cemetery was in Freehold. If you took Old Monmouth Lane to get to this old cemetery, there was my great grandparents (material) that used to own a farm and I remember as a kid my grandmother used to say you could walk thru the woods pass their farm and there was a cemetery there. Wonder if this was it.
Thanks, Chris! That is quite interesting to think that a Mudd may have had connection to the Lincoln family decades prior to 1865. This is fascinating video. Much appreciated.
I used to be a sexton. I used to smear powered chalk on headstones that are difficult to read. The chalk really brings out the detail making stone easy to read!!!
Wanna talk about Forgotten Abe Lincoln history. My hometown of Monmouth Illinois held Lincoln Douglas debates. There's a plaque in town next to an abandoned lumber yard marking the spot Lincoln gave a speech. It's just kinda randomly sitting there. He even had his photograph taken downtown (which was a big deal at the time, of course) but in which building is a total mystery.
a lot of private cemetery maintenance falls by the wayside when the asset passes from one generation to another - sometimes by choice, sometimes simply because the inheritor has no funds to do the maintenance (either no trust was established for perpetual care, or there was a fund, but it was raided by prior generations). Cemetery oversight is governed by each state seperately, so there is no regulatory standard and, in some states, no enforceability. This cemetery ain't bad compared to others I've seen. Some of the most horrendous examples of neglect come when mausoleums are not cared for. At least in cemeteries the neglected are "6 feet under," in mausoleums their corpses suffer the direct indignities of time, weather and vandals, exposed for all to see.
I grew up in a neighborhood in NJ that was built around the old Gimbel estate. Big stone mansion on a hill, Far View. Way in back of the property was an old Dutch cemetery w/ an attached slave cemetery down another path.

THANKS CHRIS FOR ALL YOUR GREAT VIDEOS AND YOUR HARD WORK LOOKING INFO.UP FOR US.. ANOTHER FORGOTTEN CEMETERY.. WOW!!! I THINK I AM MORE AFRAID TO DIE THAN TO BE ALIVE ,, AT LEASE IF I AM ALIVE I AM IN CONTROL OF THINGS,,... WHEN I AM DEAD WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN ,, I COULD BE DOG MEAT.. THANKS..
Lincoln's, it gets complicated so here goes nothing. Samuel Lincoln (b. 1622) came to America via England to Massachusetts. He had a son named Mordecai (b 1657) Mordecai had a son named Mordecai Lincoln (b. 1686) whom married Hannah Salter in Freehold, NJ they moved to PA had a son John Lincoln (b.1716) He had a son named Abraham Lincoln (b.1744) He had a son named Thomas (b 1778). Thomas had a son named Abraham Lincoln (b. 1809) The reason it gets complicated because there are about 5 Abrahams in the tree. 4 Mordecais, 5 Johns, 4 Thomas', in the span of 150 years. It's why so many people get things twisted like Daniel Boone being related, Robert E Lee etc. They are but it's distant in lineage. I am related to the same Mordecai as the President in 1686, as well as Daniel Boone, but after that it's further away. Plus, these people had like 12 kids a piece at the time shagging like rabbits to keep their farm up and running. Its further back through marriage, etc. For example. I am directly related to an Abraham Lincoln but not direct to the Abraham born 1744 that is John's son, the Presidents Grandfather. This Abraham is one who was born in 1736 to Mordecai who is John's brother. He is the son of Mordecai of 1686. Abraham of 1736 married Ann Foulke Boone. Her father is James Boone. James Boone's brother is Squire Boone, the father of Daniel. So, you see it's intertwined but distant.
Hi. John's step-brother was the 1736 Abraham (born to Mordecai & his second wife). I believe Mordecai died before one of his children from his second wife was born. (Pres. Abe Lincoln's 3rd-great grandfather).
@@mattellemorgan2710 I'm not following. Samuel's son Mordecai (1657-1727) had son Mordecai (1686-1738) with Sarah Jones. Mordecai (1686-1738) had a son John (1716-1788) with Hannah Salter. John had son Abraham (1744-1786). Abraham had son Thomas. Thomas had son President Abraham Lincoln. What am I missing? Who was John's (1716-1788) step brother?
Nice video once again. It is sad how cemetery just disappeared. Here is information you might find fascinating relating to this. There are rumors that a parking lot in the University of Utah campus was put on top of many grave stones due to the cemetery nearby, and that land seems to curse. Their are also rumors that native American graves were destroyed there. Lauren McCluskey supposedly got murdered on this parking lot. They also think this due to Ted Bundy enrollment in that school and the army base nearby.
Little known fact (possibly not even known by the inscribers of the epitaph in 1938) but it is never "ye", pronounced with a "y". It is always "the". The reason why people wrote it as "ye" was down to the old Anglo-Saxon letter thorn þ (pronounced "th"). When the printing press came out, they didn't make movable type for þ, as hardly anyone outside of England used it. So, they substituted the letter "y" in its place as it looks similar--at least the cursive forms of both letters look similar. And everyone knew how it was to be pronounced. And then they forgot, apart from certain pedants like myself. So, now we have "ye olde" this and "ye olde" that. lol
Around 8:40, and this is prolly just peridolia, but I see faces in the leaves as you walk through there. 3 specifically at 8:40. I know I prolly spelled peridolia wrong!! 😜
Lincoln's Uncle Mordecai is buried in a farmers field near Quincy, Illinois. This Uncle saved Pres. Lincoln's father: Thomas from the fate of DEATH / CAPTURE after Lincoln's grandfather was killed in front of Thomas @ the age of 8 years old.
I grew up in Monmouth Co. & never heard of Upper Freehold before. Not till moving to PA & cutting thru Allentown NJ to visit my MIL in Whiting. That county road took us right by the graveyard.
Hi my dad did a dna test. He is 3c2r from Lincoln & 1c4r from Boone. Many historians do not realize they were related. They lived 1-2 miles from each other's relatives in Exeter/oley PA. This is why the Boones convinced & helped Pres. Lincolns grandfather to go Kentucky.
I just helped do a cleanup of this cemetery back in March!
Nice, very interesting. Where is it??
What did you do? Weed whack? Mow?
God Bless you for doing that, thank you 😊 did a great job !!
Thank you for doing that. God bless you
Liar..what street?

Those smaller stones are called foot markers. They designate the foot of a grave vs the headstone.
Quick research (just looked at a couple family trees) shows Mary Mudd’s grandfather Thomas Mudd was also the 2nd great grandfather of Samuel Mudd. Interesting! Great video!
It really bothers me to see old cemeteries forgotten. It's history.
It is entirely unreasonable and completely unrealistic to think that every human to have ever lived deserves eternal remembrance. Nations die, cultures die, communities die. These are dead bodies, not people. They don't care either way, if they're remembered or not. These corpse gardens are emotional masturbation for the living, nothing more.
We've been cleaning it a few dates at a time.
I want to go there and do a complete land clearing and cleaning , cut down trees that are on the tombstones , pick up some fallen tombstones and pave the trail to the cemetery, use a type of ink that stands the test of time and trace the words on the tombstones to better read the names of the people who laid there .

That be cool if I lived still in NJ I like to help
These cemetery visits are amazing.
Very peaceful, too.
You are one of my favorite UA-cam channels. Thanks it's appreciated 👍.
We will always support you and your channel. Keep working hard.
Chris, thank you for sharing. This is interesting small cemetery. Glad to see that it is not that overgrown. Shout out to all volunteers who helped in the maintenance. Keep up the good work. 👍
Thank you Chris for such an insightful video. Old cemeteries are amazing and beautiful. To step
Back in time is surreal. Hundreds of years of respect🙏🏻💙🙏🏻Thanks for all you do.
If you’re in the New England area a cool video would be in Collinsville, CT if they gave you access to the old axe factory.
Love the history that old cemetery have, great video
Cemetery's are fun to hangout at. I'm happy that this one is in Jersey, now I'm gonna go there.😊
Thank you, Chris❤
Very interesting subject so thanks so much.❤
Wonderful as always Chris! Many thanks.
I love your videos, because it's all about history 👌
Awesome editing as well as the video and the history Chris.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing
All those trees have most definitely spread roots thru so many of those bodies which is not uncommon with these old graveyards!
Thanks for taking us lone❤
thank you for all you do with this video
You bring such great content. Thank you!

Very impressive. I enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work Chris.
Fascinating old cemetery
Chris, that's an amazing video. And yeah...alot of poison ivy.
It's a shame that the Lincoln family is gone.😢
Great history lesson thanks for the video
I love ALL of your videos. Keep making them!
Loving this channel. Such interesting stories. Thank you
Thanks brother. God Bless
The Mudd connection would be very interesting!
Love your adventures. Hoping you get to Centrala in Pennsylvania
Saw a news report about all the dumping of garbage going on out there. Shame
The tree swallowing the 1 stone... Great job
Great VIDEO

I think it’s actually Upper Freehold. Borders Cream Ridge NJ
Awesome video

Very interesting! Love anything to do with Lincoln! Hard to find place! Nice those flags were put out there. ❤

So sad that there isn't an historical group to clean up and reset the stones. TFS

Great video 👍 interesting historical cemetery. Glad you did this story.
your channel is just amazing
Fantastic Documentary! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The hidden cemetery is cool
I grew up in a neighborhood in NJ that was built around the old Gimbel estate. Big stone mansion on a hill, Far View. Way in back of the property was an old Dutch cemetery w/ an attached slave cemetery down another path.
Wow so sad...got a little creeped out when i saw the last name Robbins😅

Part of his family is also buried on Fort Knox, KY. I believe his grandmother to be specific. The fire department on base maintains the cemetery.
I enjoy your stuff dude. You have a similar sensibility as my myself. Great job... as usual.
Have you been to fort Carroll in Maryland?
I visited there a couple times
Really interesting
Very very very cool. Ty
Were the DeBows related to the Lincolns?
Dang Lincoln died 303 years ago that's wild!

America should teach in schools that community service is a good thing and everyone should get involved in it.
Hi Chris, I'm just wondering, is this thee oldest cemetery you've ever been to? Thnx.
the ones that own it is the family of the people that are buried there reason why its growed up cause nobody knows where its at

history is cool
Great video. FYI they wrote YE but it's pronounced THEE. The letter that looks like a Y is actually called Thorn, makes the 'th' sound.
Rub baking flour on the headstones and you can instantly read every word....
There is a cemetery in Hackensack NJ called the Black Slaves and Servants Cemetery. Might be good story for you.?
I grew up in Monmouth Co. & never heard of Upper Freehold before. Not till moving to PA & cutting thru Allentown NJ to visit my MIL in Whiting. That county road took us right by the graveyard.
So she was -50 years old? I’m confused
thinking that there are still living relatives of former presidents is wild. i've read about great nephews, and 3 or 4 great grandchildren. its crazy.
President Tyler's grandson is still alive, and president Tyler was born in the late 1700s.
Nice
🌴🌿🇮🇳🌿🌴
They had her in 1770 and she died in 1720? 🤔
I think that was an oops.
He meant or said 1717 I believe.
Fun fact Lincoln is my 16 or 17 cousin
Freehold, New Jersey is the town where the great Bruce Springsteen grew up. Maybe you can do a video on that.
I started out in Exeter Twp. Pa ( Jacksonwald)
As we are now, so once were they, as they are now, so we shall be. Enjoy today…
I'm curious if the Lincoln family is still around or even knows about this 🤷
Hi my dad did a dna test. He is 3c2r from Lincoln & 1c4r from Boone. Many historians do not realize they were related. They lived 1-2 miles from each other's relatives in Exeter/oley PA. This is why the Boones convinced & helped Pres. Lincolns grandfather to go Kentucky.
🇺🇸🇺🇦❤🤍💙💛
It's sad that the child's grave marker is so small and almost crude. It's like she wasn't given much importance.
Did you know Tom Hanks is related to Lincoln?
DEI
I do happen to like poison ivy.
hundreds of years ago in England "ye" was pronounced "the"
Abraham Lincoln may seem like a figure from the far distant past, but consider: Joe Biden was born closer to Lincoln''s presidency than to his own.
The rocks are headstone for Africa Americans.
Thank u for finding our history. 😊
