Under the direction of German baron Philip Georg Friedrich von Reck, a group of forty-six Lutherans arrived in Georgia in 1734, a year after James Oglethorpe founded the colony. Mostly religious expatriates from Salzburg, the group eventually settled in 1736 at a site they named New Ebenezer, located twenty miles northwest of Savannah. Over the next ten years, approximately 1,000 “Salzburger” Lutherans came to Georgia. They quickly went to work, sponsoring religious schools, building churches, and experimenting with various economic endeavors, including silk making, farming, and lumbering.
I was raised Catholic ! One time our Eastern European nuns / Felician order asked us to name a Christmas Carol! So I said Away in a Manger! She quickly reprimanded me" We don't sing that son!" "Why?" asked . "Because Martin Luther wrote that song! " she replied. LOL! Years later I found out my paternal Grandfather was raised Lutheran. He converted to Catholic religion when he married my Catholic Grandmother! 🤔🤣😂😂🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲I left the Catholic church years ago! What the REICH WING EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS / CATHOLIC S fail to realize how many people they have turned against churches when they supported 45 or as I call him A- GOLF TWITLER? 🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇲Just a reminder, many CATHOLICS and Lutherans also supported Adolf Hitler in 1930's Germany! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔I believe in God but NOT any church!
THANK YOU, SIR ROBERT THE OTHER !!! YOU DO A FANTASTIC JOB !!! We have been lost in the desert with no Sidestep Adventures ! The Old Farm antics are okay and all, but the cemeteries are REALLY fascinating ! And yes, we still love you, Robert the First !
So nice to see Robert in his favorite neon shirt! You were missed big time! Glad you got the go pro, and using it at the cemeteries. I see you brought along company to help you read the graves. But you shouldn't speak at the same time, then I can't understand why your reading! But it's so nice to see you Neon Robert!!!
It’s such an honor to see Robert #2 back in action! You have done a great job with this video. It’s very sad seeing the graves of young ones. So much pain for all those parents and community. Thanks to Robert and assistant for the tour. Keep safe and we’ll.❤😊
FYI: The two symbols on the cemetery sign are called "Luther Roses". I'm Catholic, but my late dad's family, almost all Lutherans. Saw that symbol a lot as a kid. The story is that Martin Luther himself designed it. Thought you'd like to know.
The grandmother I mentioned here lost her babies to a hereditary condition. My daughter also had it but survived with surgery at 9 days old. Pyloric stenosis. Love your helper. She's a keeper!! and a good grave reader. Love that you're doing videos Robert. Hope you are well and feeling fine! One of my grandma's lost 3 babies. She named them all and visited their graves throughout old age. I gave her a baby doll for Christmas one year. She had so much fun holding and rocking that lil doll. I love the way those elders knew how to love family. She was my daughter;s Great Grandmother and the GGGrandmother was still alive in my daughter's young childhood. My favorite part of these exploring videos is the way yall really care about those that came before us.
My little cousin had pyloric stenosis and the doctors didn't do anything for a long time and we were watching him die, and finally my aunt sat in the hospital and refused to leave until they looked at her son and sure enough there was a BIG problem
Robert the Green and wife did a magnificent job documenting this graveyard! It amazes me that parents were able to keep their sanity after so many lost their children. Does Dan the Historian have any information on diseases that struck so many families of that time? Thank you!
Maybe if their first 2 children survived it could have been a Rh factor situation where one person is + and the other one was - and then the child is attacked in the womb of the mother as if it was an enemy of the body because it cannot be recognized by the mother’s body as an infant so it does everything it can to prevent it from continuing to grow and all of the children would most certainly die as they didn’t recognize it was Rh factor of incompatibility of a + vs. -. So heartbreaking that all the parents knew was that God wanted them more and he had needed the children the most or it was just not meant to be even though they kept conceiving babies. How sad!…
True…I am Rh negative and my husband was Rh positive. The first baby is alright but it’s the babies afterward who will have problems. I had to get a special injection to prevent “blue babies”. My blood was monitored and if I needed more injections, they were given . Thank Goodness my five children were healthy. Those poor families that had to endure the problems of not having that injection back in the day.
@@taysgram I was lucky I’m Rh - also and my husband is A - and I’m O- 3 of my children is O- and 3 are A- and I had 3 miscarriages 2 breach and the first one was a premature labor and I was basically in the hospital for 4 months and back in 1985 I was in a double room and my rummy didn’t get rogram so the second one she had, her body was doing it’s darn best to eject her pregnancy. After each miscarriage I had to have rogram because sometimes nature will do funny things. I had 7 siblings and 2+ parents and 2 of us had a negative Rh while the rest of them were + and we are all biologically have the same parents!
Good to see you O.R. and I agree it's extra sad when we see children passing so soon in life. Thanks to you and your helper. Always good when you are on.
@Robert. Interesting info on William Jennings in obit on Findagrave. He was a state representative for one or more terms in GA. He was a member of the Dawson Camp of confederate veterans. He served in the 13th South Carolina Regiment, Griggs brigade. Was in the front in the battle of Gettysburg. He also came to GA around 1878 from SC.
So sad about all the children. Very grateful to you reading the stones for us. Many of us who do genealogy research on our families are still looking for many graves that we've yet to find. I live in Colorado now so going grave searching like I use to in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia just cant be done any longer. Thank you so much for what your doing. Brenda Campos
Doing genealogy for my family, I was startled how many babies and older people died of pneumonia. My grandfather was away at military school and dypyheria ran through the community killing 3 of his siblings. He always said being away saved his life.
Those are the cemeteries that break your heart-especially for that one family. That poor mama! That one Rauch grandchild was named after her grandmother, Gincy Wise.
Amazed at how many children are in this cemetery. Could have been a Scarlett fever or another disease that went thru the community. Thank you Robert. Love seeing you.
Here in the UK we have had 38 Children die with Scarlett Fever in the 2022 ...many more cases of children with the Virus ..on the increase ...ver Dad indeed ...
I want say thank you to everyone who's part side step adventures Thank you for all the wonderful videos and history. Is sad to see all the children and feel bad for the mothers that birthed the little angels to see them leave so early. My brother did the family tree on my mother's side and back then they had so many children with same name least the boys as children didn't live long and fathers want a son to carry on their name. Think one my ancestors named 6 or more sons his first and last name with different middle name. Not sure how many made it. Love from central Florida to everyone
Thank you so much. Discovered so many distant relatives in this cemetery. I live in Canada and would never have thought that I had connections to Georgia.
So interesting thinking of these people and how crazy... they had no idea future people would have devices showing their graves all over the world in 2023. ❤️ to all.
So good to see you again Robert! You've been missed. Between Sidestep and a few other youtubers who visit old graveyards, I've seen so many like this - with so many children's graves. I can't help but put myself into the shoes of their parents. In the early days of our country, survival wasn't a sure thing for many children. Times were hard for everyone and tiny ones just weren't strong enough to always survive those times.
So sad to see the graves of so many children. It breaks my heart to think of the pain of loss some of these families endured. Whether is was disease that took them, or sometimes it seems for some possibly hidden medical reason some families failed to have children who thrived and survived. So sad. Thank you for sharing with us so they aren't forgotten. Watch out for those fire ants!
It's been awhile Robert since Ive been on the channel, I don't know why people are saying nice to have you back, but for whatever reason you have always been my favorite. Robert number 1 is awesome also. There is something about the way you handle yourself and the tone of your voice that make the tours special, especially this one, everyone of those babies took a breath and they were gone, the mother of these children was so special and she knew what she wanted and that was for a child to live on with herself and husband, wow, so many....such a shame,,, may they rest in enternal sleep....
Hi Robert great to see you great job with your tech support Such a sad place with so many children lost those poor parents can't imagine the grief they experienced year after year 😢
You called this a small cemetery, it looked large to me. Love the old fences they used back then. Nice to see no one stole parts of it. I enjoy one comment who gave the history of the Lutheran’s. It was heartbreaking to see so many children n babies who died. So very sad. They kept having babies hoping one would survive. Like the other Robert said. It could of been genetic. But there was a lot of disease’s back then. Robert did great job in sharing this cemetery. Sure do miss him as your side kick. ♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟
Just found your channel loving it…I found the child’s grave with the stones making the word Johnson so touching…for someone to place all those little stones it’s very personal and meaningful. I also respect so much that you don’t clean and scrape the graves with chemicals and scrapers…May they all Rest In Peace . Kind regards from Australia ❤️🐨🦘🇦🇺🌏
Nice to see you again. A lot of babies died from illness and the Rh factor. If most of the babies died around the same year it most likely was from something going round. Every year it would be from RH factor
The epitaph for Laura McGill (at 03:00-ish) sounds very much like a traditional Easter hymn, "The Strife is O'er, the Battle Done" (...now is the victor's triumph won). Several sources indicate Rev. Francis Pott translated the hymn's text from Symphonia Sirenum, a piece associated with the Cologne, Germany cathedral, circa1695. The hymn's tune is adapted from a Giovanni Palestrina work, mid- to late 1500's.
It's the Neon Green Robert! We have missed you!! Interesting video, and kinda sad that so many children are buried there. Times were often so hard back then.
Many thanks for all the difficult work it was in trying to read what was on those very hard to read stones!!! Too many small children and babies died before having a chance to live! Thanks to you all for documenting this graveyard, a Fine job!!!
Robert! The other Robert! Good job! I enjoy watching, and learning from you. Wonderful sharing, so we can take part in your Adventures! Keep up your valuable good work.
Wish a group of people would go clean up these tombstones. My dad and a group of people would go out and fix the stones that need repairs. Love seeing people giving respect to these people by fixing and cleaning these stones. Your lady (assistant) was a great help.👍👍👍💕🙏🏻
Cleaning old stones can destroy them or erode them. People who do it can be charged with vandalism. Many stones back then were made with sandstone or other fragile materials . Not granite like today.
It’s amazing how old the markers are and still be able to read them and all the small children that died these would be some good markers to try to clean up they have some amazing designs on them
So nice to see you again, Sir. Yes, so very sad about all those young children passing on before they had much time to live .Thank you for saying thier names again. Hope to see you soon
A well kept cemetery. Maybe you guys could let them know about the headstone cleaner that you have used to bring those headstones back to their original beauty.
So nice to see the O.R. again. What a nice place to look around in, thanks for sharing. The carving on the Martin stone: The carving of chains, with a broken link, signifies that the family is broken. Lambs are very common on a child's grave.
From his obituary - "David Samuel Derrick was a veteran of the confederate war having served with gallantry under Capt. D.J. Griffith died in Columbia yesterday morning". D. J. Griffith was a captain in the Fifteenth South Carolina Infantry Regiment. The 15th South Carolina Infantry was an infantry regiment that served in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. The 15th South Carolina's initial trial-by-fire occurred on Hilton Head Island during the Battle of Port Royal Sound on November 7, 1861. Following the Regiment's service on the coast of South Carolina, the unit was transferred to Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia (ANV) in July 1862. As part of Lee's Army, the 15th SC served in James Longstreet's corps in all of the ANV battles from Second Manassas onward, including Sharpsburg and South Mountain. In November 1862, the 15th South Carolina joined Brigadier General Joseph B. Kershaw’s famous South Carolina brigade where the regiment remained for the rest of the War. As part of Kershaw's brigade, the 15th SC fought in the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. Following the battle of Gettysburg in July 1863, Kershaw's brigade were sent by General Lee, along with two divisions of Longstreet’s corps, to the Western Army where they fought in the battles of Chickamauga, Knoxville and Bean's Station. In April 1864, the 15th SC and the rest of Kershaw's brigade returned to Lee's Army of Northern Virginia command and fought in the battles of the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, North Anna, Cold Harbour and the siege of Petersburg. In August 1864, Lee ordered Kershaw's brigade to the Shenandoah Valley where the men fought in the battles at Charlestown, Strasburg's Hupp's Hill and Cedar Creek. In January 1865, General Lee ordered Kershaw's brigade to return to South Carolina to oppose Major General William Tecumseh Sherman’s army during his march through the Carolinas. Following the evacuation of Charleston, where the 15th South Carolina was one of the last Confederate fighting units to leave the city, and the battles of Averasboro and Bentonville in North Carolina, the Regiment was surrendered, along with the remaining men of Kershaw's brigade, to General Sherman as part of General Joseph E. Johnston’s Army of Tennessee in Greensboro, North Carolina on April 26, 1865. Kershaw's brigade and the 15th South Carolina Infantry served as the last Confederate provost guard protecting food and ordnance stores in Greensboro before finally returning to their homes in South Carolina.
Hey Robert loved the day !❤ I was thinking of all the diseases of the day with no knowledge of any medicines. They were in cramped quarters and a fair amount of children. Wow !!! So interesting , thanks to your partner as well in this one, no thanks to the flash light ! ✌❤
In Texas at New London...where the school blew up in the gas explosion...it's really sad to go to that cemetery...so many children that all died on the same day. That story is really a sad one too.
Lutherans were very loving people. Very giving in their communities. The Germans brought the Christmas tree to us..from their homeland traditions we have christmas tree. Yes Luther based church. Wonderful people and churches to belong too
Hi Robert and friend very sad to see all the young children that died at a early age that's why they had big families 👪 in them days at least the cemetery his been looked after very interesting video again nice to see you back all the best Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
First time seeing you folks, I must say, it's a rare and wonderful thing to have such a beautiful and angelic voice of this woman read the stones. You further bless each one with this God given gift you possess.
Hi, Other Robert! So good to see you. Really enjoyed the video, and how you and your companion read the stones together. It's always helpful to have an extra set of eyes when reading them. Thanks for all the great videos! God bless!
Regarding the lack of CSA veteran recognition, Lutherans teach two Kingdoms: the Left (earthly) and Right (heavenly). I would have to double check with my pastors, but as a Lutheran lay person, my guess is that the Lutheran Church would have considered the Confederate cause not a just cause for war, as they did regarding the Revolutionary War. Therefore they wouldn't have made a big deal of the men's service in the Confederate Army.
Not sure if anyone else commented on the stone @21:31, but it reads: JENCY WISE. I found the Find A Grave page for her. It says she died of typhoid fever (which, I would guess, was most likely the cause of most of the infant fatalities from around the same time).
Tuberculosis took a lot of children along with pneumonia. Open hearth fires were very dangerous,so were staircases,not all died from disease,only God can know for sure,medical care still wasn't an exact science...it's not too exact today...we might knock out one bad malady and another rears it's ugly head. Dangerous world. Anyway they are all God's children He knows best. Bless y'all, and nice to see Robert again.Love from Ky.💞💞
Some could have died because mom was RH negative and Dad was positive. Babies dies of anemia fro breakdown of red cells. We have a vaccine for that now.
Gotta watch out for fire ants…

Love your title for the other Robert! ❤️
It's so good to see the other Robert. I missed him.
Lots more “Other Robert Adventures” to come… stay tuned
Thank you Robert. When a community loses so many babys you know there had to be a sadness hanging over all those folks. God Rest them.

Agree! She should not interrupt while Robert is speaking or talk over him.
First thing I noticed as well, love the reading but one at a time please.
Agree. Agree. Agree.
It’s such an honor to see Robert #2 back in action! You have done a great job with this video. It’s very sad seeing the graves of young ones. So much pain for all those parents and community.

could have been measles, whooping cough, TB or.just about anything.
May the Lord bless and protect you and your family and bringing back the past
Thank you ! As a Lutheran who has moved to Georgia , I will certainly make a trip to see this cemetery !!🙏😇💞
This is a wonderful cemetery tour. The tombstones are so ornate. Both of you are giving a really nice introduction to the fine people buried here.
I want say thank you to everyone who's part side step adventures Thank you for all the wonderful videos and history. Is sad to see all the children and feel bad for the mothers that birthed the little angels to see them leave so early.

Robert's been so busy with the farm, and he's on a roll clearing the land, it nice you was able to help out with the channel.
What beautiful head stones for the precious children that were lost. Much sadness in that cemetery. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
Thank you for taking us through the old cemetery Robert. Loved it!
This was hard to watch, but very pleasing to have the 2 of you as part of the Sidestep Adventure historical team.

Many thanks for all the difficult work it was in trying to read what was on those very hard to read stones!!! Too many small children and babies died before having a chance to live! Thanks to you all for documenting this graveyard, a Fine job!!!
Robert! The other Robert!
Good job! I enjoy watching, and learning from you. Wonderful sharing, so we can take part in your Adventures!
Keep up your valuable good work.
Wish a group of people would go clean up these tombstones. My dad and a group of people would go out and fix the stones that need repairs. Love seeing people giving respect to these people by fixing and cleaning these stones. Your lady (assistant) was a great help.👍👍👍💕🙏🏻
Cleaning old stones can destroy them or erode them. People who do it can be charged with vandalism. Many stones back then were made with sandstone or other fragile materials . Not granite like today.
Nice to see you back and in good health Robert II. Great but sad video.
It’s amazing how old the markers are and still be able to read them and all the small children that died these would be some good markers to try to clean up they have some amazing designs on them
So nice to see you again, Sir. Yes, so very sad about all those young children passing on before they had much time to live .Thank you for saying thier names again. Hope to see you soon
Enjoying following u the other Robert. So sad all those little children. My family belongs to St Mark’s in Omaha Nebraska. Thank you.
A well kept cemetery. Maybe you guys could let them know about the headstone cleaner that you have used to bring those headstones back to their original beauty.
Good to see you, other Robert ! Thanks for sharing this sad little cemetery !
Thanks for sharing. The children's graves are so sad.
🙏♥️ 😢
So nice to see the O.R. again. What a nice place to look around in, thanks for sharing.
The carving on the Martin stone: The carving of chains, with a broken link, signifies that the family is broken.
Lambs are very common on a child's grave.
You are amazing wonderful such a blessing my dear one
Good bless you and your family and nice to see you again Robert andyourFriend,thank you so much for sharing ,
From his obituary - "David Samuel Derrick was a veteran of the confederate war having served with gallantry under Capt. D.J. Griffith died in Columbia yesterday morning". D. J. Griffith was a captain in the Fifteenth South Carolina Infantry Regiment. The 15th South Carolina Infantry was an infantry regiment that served in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. The 15th South Carolina's initial trial-by-fire occurred on Hilton Head Island during the Battle of Port Royal Sound on November 7, 1861. Following the Regiment's service on the coast of South Carolina, the unit was transferred to Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia (ANV) in July 1862. As part of Lee's Army, the 15th SC served in James Longstreet's corps in all of the ANV battles from Second Manassas onward, including Sharpsburg and South Mountain. In November 1862, the 15th South Carolina joined Brigadier General Joseph B. Kershaw’s famous South Carolina brigade where the regiment remained for the rest of the War. As part of Kershaw's brigade, the 15th SC fought in the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. Following the battle of Gettysburg in July 1863, Kershaw's brigade were sent by General Lee, along with two divisions of Longstreet’s corps, to the Western Army where they fought in the battles of Chickamauga, Knoxville and Bean's Station. In April 1864, the 15th SC and the rest of Kershaw's brigade returned to Lee's Army of Northern Virginia command and fought in the battles of the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, North Anna, Cold Harbour and the siege of Petersburg. In August 1864, Lee ordered Kershaw's brigade to the Shenandoah Valley where the men fought in the battles at Charlestown, Strasburg's Hupp's Hill and Cedar Creek. In January 1865, General Lee ordered Kershaw's brigade to return to South Carolina to oppose Major General William Tecumseh Sherman’s army during his march through the Carolinas. Following the evacuation of Charleston, where the 15th South Carolina was one of the last Confederate fighting units to leave the city, and the battles of Averasboro and Bentonville in North Carolina, the Regiment was surrendered, along with the remaining men of Kershaw's brigade, to General Sherman as part of General Joseph E. Johnston’s Army of Tennessee in Greensboro, North Carolina on April 26, 1865. Kershaw's brigade and the 15th South Carolina Infantry served as the last Confederate provost guard protecting food and ordnance stores in Greensboro before finally returning to their homes in South Carolina.
Hey Robert loved the day !❤ I was thinking of all the diseases of the day with no knowledge of any medicines. They were in cramped quarters and a fair amount of children. Wow !!! So interesting , thanks to your partner as well in this one, no thanks to the flash light ! ✌❤
Thank you for your work. So sad. My family came from Germany settled in Missouri. Also Lutheran. Such a difficult life.
Great video Mr Other Robert :) It truly was a sad little area of the cemetery.
Good to see you. Hope to see with the other robert soon
In Texas at New London...where the school blew up in the gas explosion...it's really sad to go to that cemetery...so many children that all died on the same day. That story is really a sad one too.
Robert great to see you again. Have missed you, Thank you to you and your offsider. Love from Australia. Stay safe. Love you all. Xxx
Thank you for a great video! You and "your technician " ! Thank you for the extra information too!
Really enjoyed this tour of the old cemetery and your commentary Robert and your helper! I hope to see many more in the near future.
What a marvelous team!! Loved this. Thank you.
Love having you back other Robert! We have those awful fire ants here in East Texas too.
Awesome video! Thank you for your work and travel to bring us to these!
Lutherans were very loving people. Very giving in their communities. The Germans brought the Christmas tree to us..from their homeland traditions we have christmas tree. Yes Luther based church. Wonderful people and churches to belong too
Robert … you are great at this. Loved it.
Great to see you back, Other Robert! Your cemetery tours are my favorites!

Hi Robert and friend very sad to see all the young children that died at a early age that's why they had big families 👪 in them days at least the cemetery his been looked after very interesting video again nice to see you back all the best Andrew south wales uk 👍 👌 😀 🇬🇧
First time seeing you folks, I must say, it's a rare and wonderful thing to have such a beautiful and angelic voice of this woman read the stones. You further bless each one with this God given gift you possess.
Excellent job Other Robert. I will be looking forward to more from you.
Thank you to all viewers filling in on information about not only the graveyard but many of the individual graves!
Hi, Other Robert! So good to see you. Really enjoyed the video, and how you and your companion read the stones together. It's always helpful to have an extra set of eyes when reading them. Thanks for all the great videos! God bless!
Robert you did a wonderful job. So did the camera lady. Thank you for sharing.
@@Trevorjennings679 good now. Had back in the summer.
It was a great history lesson Other Robert and thanks to your filmer sidekick. Even the fire ants were appreciated LOL LOL
Good to see you Robert!
Great video a lot of history
So good to see you Robert. Interesting insight to this group of graves.
Regarding the lack of CSA veteran recognition, Lutherans teach two Kingdoms: the Left (earthly) and Right (heavenly). I would have to double check with my pastors, but as a Lutheran lay person, my guess is that the Lutheran Church would have considered the Confederate cause not a just cause for war, as they did regarding the Revolutionary War. Therefore they wouldn't have made a big deal of the men's service in the Confederate Army.
Not sure if anyone else commented on the stone @21:31, but it reads: JENCY WISE. I found the Find A Grave page for her. It says she died of typhoid fever (which, I would guess, was most likely the cause of most of the infant fatalities from around the same time).
THANK for the awesome video I do appreciate it
🌻😊
Nice seeing you Mr ROBERT amazing video and graveyard
I am so glad to see the other Robert again! 😀
Loved today's visit.

Great video " the other Robert " and lady assistant !!!! . More please 🙏.
Great job Robert...
Excellent once again! 😊👍
Tuberculosis took a lot of children along with pneumonia. Open hearth fires were very dangerous,so were staircases,not all died from disease,only God can know for sure,medical care still wasn't an exact science...it's not too exact today...we might knock out one bad malady and another rears it's ugly head. Dangerous world. Anyway they are all God's children He knows best. Bless y'all, and nice to see Robert again.Love from Ky.💞💞
Some could have died because mom was RH negative and Dad was positive. Babies dies of anemia fro breakdown of red cells. We have a vaccine for that now.
After the first pregnancy, even is a miscarriage mother formed antibodies to fetus red blood cells. They didn’t live long.
Happy to see you....that was funny as hell you & the ants now I need that laugh
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing. Take care.
