Oh my goodness. That really is so very sad. Beautiful wrought Iron fencing. Robert. I think that the state of Georgia should employ you to locate all the old Cemeteries and restore them for the respect they deserve. Youre the best man for the job. 🌷🌿🌷
Appreciate so much the fact that u showed respect for this site. Cleaned up a few tombstones and re-read some tombstones that probably haven't been read in over a 150 yrs. Nice to remember people who have passed. Good work!
The detail on the iron works is amazing! Love, love, love that old tree!!! Rev Dozier was married three times (not unusual for that era) and was a Methodist minister.
Robert! These people will not be forgotten, thanks to you. You are so special. I mean it. Everything you do is so beautiful and very appreciated. I love these videos so much and thank you so very much for them. Bless your heart xxooxx
Thanks to you Robert, these people are not forgotten and are recorded! It also shows us how short life truly is. How everyone we know and know is, all the activities around us, the history, the historical events we've experienced, our homes and all our stuff, will not even be a memory. Of course there will be another Robert however and he will investigate and discover old places where we may end up and wonder as we do today, what were they like, their lives, their homes and professions, their cherished possessions and ups and downs of living. It is part of the mystery of their lives and ours. Thank You Most Kindly! DaveyJO in Pa.
I am so glad that you do this walkthrough cemeteries and old houses old railroads old bridges. All of these things are like stepping back into history.
When I watch your videos or visit old cemeteries here in NJ/PA area that have old foundations nearby I often think that right here where I am standing there was a home or church, there was a funeral and families who would visit this gravesite and lived right nearby, etc. Often was an old farm now overgrown. It always shows how nature starts to reclaim the land when they are not maintained.
Just when I think these grave yards won't get any worse you found another. How sad. The history that's gone. The story's that are lost. Their names can never be spoken again. Love that fence. Beautiful. Thank you again.
It is possible that unmarked stones have been overturned by grave robbers (print is on the other side). Thank you for documenting these historic places.
I ran into a small cemetery one spring while riding my horse in the woods. It was way on top of a mountain with no road nearby. The headstones were still standing and there were daffodils everywhere. I still wonder about that place and the people buried there!
R B I wish I would have. There were other riders ahead of me leading the way and I didn’t get a chance to stop. I don’t think I could even find the place now, but I’m sure people at the barn know where it is.
Yes,who the people were, their lives,dreams,and families. Loving parents, and children, makes one think. My wife and I visit many a pioneer cemeteries, sounds weird, but the history. God bless from Nova Scotia Canada, be careful out there.🙏.
I wish that tree could talk to you, it could tell a story of happiness and sorrow. Nothing carved on the tree like dates or names. That one was extreme. Thank you Robert and Cody.
How interesting that the Reverend was born three years after we became a country! Very impressive Robert!! Thank you to everybody who found out more information on these long gone souls. You are creating so much good karma for yourself Robert!! Bravo to you my friend!! and I have yet to get to my family plot this year due to covid-19. I hope to get to it before memorial Day. I still miss him think about my parents and brother & sister & grand parents daily 😢🙏💞🕊️ keep up the great work Roberts!
these long lost forgotten graves are proof that we as humans are like a grain of sand in time and willl one day be forgotten as well ,........2 hundred plus years down the road :-/ love the video and beautiful old fence !
Missed ya'll, know bad storms hit Georgia and other places, causing havoc here and there! Glad you got your power back on. Glad to see you out there on such a beautiful day. That was really old family plot. That house at one time must have been gorgeous. Maybe it came down during the civil war, cause most of the people who are buried all lived up to the 1850's and not further. But the dignity of those old Oak trees stand there are a witness and their special mightiness makes the place look grand. Thanks again for going out videoing this. And so glad you brought a brush with you! Thank you Cody and Robert!!! Miss your other friends with you too. Hope soon this pestilence, will go away for all!
I have been so impressed with the respect and reverence you express in these videos. Saying these peoples names out loud has really struck me emotionally. I grew up in Oxford Georgia and played in the "old soldiers cemetery" behind Oxford college. I also found a couple of graves in the woods, although it is a industrial area now, and wondered how they have fared.
I wanted to thank you for doing these wonderful video's of our ancestors resting places. You do a fine job and are very respectful of the old cemetaries and home sites. Thank you.
What an amazing video Rob I bet it was a beautiful house sitting in such a tranquil place Poor Susan taken at 21 years old leaving a young child very sad Thanks for the video very interesting once again Take care to yourself and Cody
Hi guys, wow some amazing history there. So sad to see Susan's tombstone, I would say she died in childbirth or not long after her baby was born which is just heartbreaking that her child grew up without a mommy. Thank you for sharing this fascinating place, much love. xx💖
Another thing, when I read the names on the old stones, I’ve always wondered when the last time someone uttered that persons name. It just goes to show when we utter a lost ones name they are never really gone. You could have been the first person to say their names in 150 years and now they live on in memory again. I love these types of videos and the people who take the time to make these discoveries. Thank you.
I have always found cemeteries rather new or old very peaceful places, and places that should all be respected and treated with respect. Thank you Robert and Cody for finding this and documenting.
I have found a place close where I live in Fountain Inn SC that is similar. A huge tree next to an old foundation. I have run across a few cemeteries in the woods while deer hunting. Usually around the revolutionary war or civil war era. Thanks for the history lesson. I like these kinds of stories. Kind of takes you back in time.
Great video! There is a 203 year old graveyard next to my church and a 7 month old child was buried in 1824! It is in ratty shape and I’m gagging to clean the headstones! Lovely guys! 🤗🕰❤️⚰️🏺⛪️
Time is so savage, the correlation of the graves and the remnants of the house linked perfectly and put the effects of time into a quite chilling perspective . Really like the manor in which you persevere when trying to read the difficult stones, I must add the camera quality is fantastic, it’s so good I feel I’m there !! Just awesome guys, thank you.
Good video. A few years back a friend of mine took me onto his father's property to show me a 150+ year old narrow gauge logging railroad still buried in the woods. He even let me dig out a section as a keepsake, curved nonetheless. I will always be grateful to him and his father for that experience.
6:30 Gorilla brand exterior grade construction adhesive will be able to hold the pieces of the headstone together. The hardest part of restoring the grave site, would be properly locating the correct placement location for the headstone, and making sure you have a stable base that will support the headstone as you rebuild it. 8:10 It looks like there may have been some writing towards the edge of that headstone, unless that was just leaves and other debris. The headstone could have also fallen on it's face leaving all the writing face down on the ground.
Hi Robert, family members just sent me this video! Reverend Richard Dozier was my great great great great grandfather!! Some family members have been looking for these graves for a while. The Dozier- Wooldridge house was located nearer Columbus and my guess is during the horse and buggy days this would have been a hike to get to the Reverend Dozier’s house. I’m really sad this has not been maintained but our family is determined to remedy that! Thank you so much for making this video!!! God bless you and your work!!
The inscription on the preacher's grave is a Bible passage in part, taken from Psalm 16:6 -- "The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage." Also, from Psalm 17:15 -- "I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." He must have been a godly man! Thanks for sharing these videos with us.
What an awesome thought, of a chimney being a gravestone to a home. Or however you had worded it. The wrought iron fence here was unique. Often makes me wonder, whose human hands might have handcrafted that very fence, who actually requested the fence to be there, who might have been the person whom placed the hardware (bolts, screws) on that fence, etc.
YAY!!! The blue brush is being employed !!I It's amazing how many of us want you to be safe out there ;) I guess we love your videos so much we want to see more :) This is a beautiful video. Thanks so much for taking us along for the ride Robert. Be safe out there :)
It’s sad to think that one day when us, our loved ones, friends, colleagues, and all the acquaintances we met departs . We will all be forgotten in the future :(. Only people who are famous and people who made history will be remembered but ordinary people like us will be forgotten. :(
what an interesting place! very peaceful too. Can you imagine what that big tree has seen! Thank you for taking us along it almost feels like we are right there with you what a nice way to spend an afternoon! Stay safe.I'm looking forward to the next adventure!
Susan most likely died related to or as a result of childbirth and or complications of childbirth - thank you for filming and documenting these graves I appreciate your respectful manner and appreciate your efforts to read the headstones and epitaphs
I love your channel. Your great. It reminds me of days when i could do things like that. So busy with life and it takes you with it. Keep them coming. Im part of a very important historical family. The Doanes. Im sure with your background youd know their affiliation with Washington crossing the Delaware. Im very proud of that. They were outlaws but important in history.
Once again a wonderful video. In the 60s when my husband was in the military we visited Concard, Mass. We saw many young adults making or tracing names on headstones. So much history. I just love your channel.
Your comment about people stealing the fences from cemeteries reminded me of two idiot's here. They went into the cemetery, it's still in use, and started taking the brass name plates and flower holders from graves. They took them to a local recycling center. I did say they were idiot's. I have to give the owner of the center credit. He called the police and kept the two there telling them he had to get a weight on the stuff.
@@ericsimpson1176 WELLLL...I'm dyin' ovah heeyah from the suspense! What happened? How did you catch'em? And if you happen to see this and decide to return and tell us your story, will you please answer this burning criminal science question? How does a tracking dog know what scent he's supposed to follow when the handler doesn't have an article of clothing or any other scent source to show the canine? Thank you for your service. I know it wasn't easy.
It is always sad to see these long forgotten graves of people who lived and died so many years ago and know that they have been forgotten over time and left to nature. Pity the old graveyard can't be restored
Sadley that's what happen allot the people who burried them died also and maybe there kids still did something but after that genration it stop's i grow up in bording school's have parents who on drugs and alcohol i dont even know who ma fam is or where too start allot allready died too
I think it is great that Robert and Cody spend so much time together and bond over discovering forgotten history. I told my Eagle Scout grandson about this channel. He has been on Scouting trips from New Mexico to W. Virginia/Virginia including Georgia. I told him when he get married he better find a girl that loves the outdoors as much as him and not those city girls he occasionally dates.
My grandfather had a rock wall made out of field stones, about 100 years old. The new owner dismantled it and put the rocks around the property line. This just made me think when you said that people worked so hard to build these things
Thank you for being so respectful of the cemeteries, I hate that people vandalize and steal from them. It is fascinating to learn about the meanings of the carvings and the history.
It is hard to see so many forgotten graves. My great great grandparents and great uncle were buried in a still existing cemetery in Nebraska. A few years ago when I went back, the cemetery had sold their plots to another family. There wasn't tombstones to show their graves but there were field stones and a very large oak tree to mark them.
It would be really cool if you could put in the description box, where you're at. As a genealogist, I thank you for what you're doing, keep up the good work❣
Wow but it’s nice that it’s nature and not people that have destroyed it seems so peaceful there I think one of the purposes you have in life is bringing the people and cemetery’s into the thoughts of all of us God Bless you and May these people Continue to Rest In Peace in the Arms of Our Lord
I do and did the same thing you did. But I also work for the state of Maine historical society to help preserve these old family cemeteries. I helped to locate over 100 cemeteries alone in Southern Maine. But it got too costly for me and I have a lot of back problems that keep me from going out doing this stuff now. I miss it every year when the weather gets nice out. 😥
One of my favorite videos. Such treasures of scattered memories that you are bringing to light once again. I really would love to see this resting place restored. A yr ago folks were being scared by the virus but you and your team continued to do good in the world. Keep the videos coming. Small groups of folks could do a lot to fix these places up so they would not be ignored. I don't know how it works but legislature should be written up to save these cemeteries from the land owners that dont give a care about them or the lives they led. Set it up .. I'll join.
That was an interesting old cemetery and connecting it with the house ruins just sort of brings those people back to life, living and working there so very long ago.❤
On that toppled tombstone, it looked like it actually says 'I have always placed the Lord before me'. Awesome video, I really enjoyed seeing that homesite.
Robert you certainly have earned your spot in heaven for all you do for these people, to make sure they are not forgotten....God Bless You Robert and Thank you for bringing it to us friend!
Colleen Crane So, by doing an act of kindness, from an act of common sense, you believe that's a one way ticket to a false paradise? Pretty sad that you need to believe in a ironically hateful deity, just to show an act of kindness nowadays.
I’ve found old Civil War era grave sites up in the East Tenn mountains. While you’re there why not clear off some of the overgrowth thus saving them for a while longer. That’s a good find worth helping.
Wow! Looks like that has been forgotten for a very long time. Although it is quite possible especially considering the dates that was a homestead,but that building could also be the remains of a church. It would be nice to go back and see if there are any written accounts of the families that you found. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
I’m glad to know I’m not the only person who loves old cemeteries. I love to visit them, document them and clean them up. Do you know of groups in Kentucky that like to do these things?
So sad that eventually gravesites can become like this as those who once cared for them pass away. The history and stories they held and shared go with them. Once that next generation dies an entire generation can be forgotten.
It would be awesome if someone was able to and could restore these old things like these as best as possible. Something for others to visit and see these relics. I'm sure there are bunches of them across the US. It would be neat to try to set these things at these places as back to the times that these head stones read.
Sad to see the cemetery in such disrepair. Looks like it might have flooded at one time. I am glad you have a brush now, so you can clean the stones in order to read them better. Thank you, Robert

It's amazing that you can go back in time with just a simple walk and now I am left wondering about the lives of the people you just visited.

Thanks to you Robert, these people are not forgotten and are recorded! It also shows us how short life truly is. How everyone we know and know is, all the activities around us, the history, the historical events we've experienced, our homes and all our stuff, will not even be a memory.

"Time hurries on & the leaves that are green turn to brown " .

I am so glad that you do this walkthrough cemeteries and old houses old railroads old bridges. All of these things are like stepping back into history.
Old foundation, old stones, old graves. Impressive and somewhat sad trip. Thank you for taking us along.

Love that fence. Beautiful.
Thank you again.
Always love these videos about the history of Georgia and Tennessee and Alabama. Love history about the Civil War.

It is hard to see so many forgotten graves. My great great grandparents and great uncle were buried in a still existing cemetery in Nebraska. A few years ago when I went back, the cemetery had sold their plots to another family. There wasn't tombstones to show their graves but there were field stones and a very large oak tree to mark them.
Sounds like a lawsuit to me. Probably think no one cares but then there you are!
It would be really cool if you could put in the description box, where you're at. As a genealogist, I thank you for what you're doing, keep up the good work❣
Not a good idea. Revealed locations give hoodlums a place to destroy
Wow but it’s nice that it’s nature and not people that have destroyed it seems so peaceful there I think one of the purposes you have in life is bringing the people and cemetery’s into the thoughts of all of us God Bless you and May these people Continue to Rest In Peace in the Arms of Our Lord
Awesome video you can find some History as always thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for doing this for these unfortunate souls..I really enjoy your videos look forward to watching them everyday thanks Again.
I do and did the same thing you did. But I also work for the state of Maine historical society to help preserve these old family cemeteries. I helped to locate over 100 cemeteries alone in Southern Maine. But it got too costly for me and I have a lot of back problems that keep me from going out doing this stuff now. I miss it every year when the weather gets nice out. 😥
One of my favorite videos. Such treasures of scattered memories that you are bringing to light once again. I really would love to see this resting place restored. A yr ago folks were being scared by the virus but you and your team continued to do good in the world. Keep the videos coming. Small groups of folks could do a lot to fix these places up so they would not be ignored. I don't know how it works but legislature should be written up to save these cemeteries from the land owners that dont give a care about them or the lives they led. Set it up .. I'll join.
I try and think of what their lives were like. Thank you for another great video!
THANK you Robert, for taking us "home." I appreciate your channel . Keep up the great exploration.
Quite an amazing video,Cemetery, land and homestead.
Church foundation, not a house
It says in the title Forgotten home
Yeah it was a homesite per a local historian.
Rest in peace Ms. Thomas
Very beautiful! I'm from Pa. Love your videos! The iron work in these cemeterys is just amazing!
That was an interesting old cemetery and connecting it with the house ruins just sort of brings those people back to life, living and working there so very long ago.❤
History is awesome.
On that toppled tombstone, it looked like it actually says 'I have always placed the Lord before me'.
Awesome video, I really enjoyed seeing that homesite.
Robert you certainly have earned your spot in heaven for all you do for these people, to make sure they are not forgotten....God Bless You Robert and Thank you for bringing it to us friend!
Colleen Crane So, by doing an act of kindness, from an act of common sense, you believe that's a one way ticket to a false paradise? Pretty sad that you need to believe in a ironically hateful deity, just to show an act of kindness nowadays.
21 years old, Wow So YOUNG!!
I’ve found old Civil War era grave sites up in the East Tenn mountains. While you’re there why not clear off some of the overgrowth thus saving them for a while longer. That’s a good find worth helping.
Interesting that there were more people living in that general area in the mid 1800s than there are now. Everybody moved to the cities.
Always a pleasure, Robert and Cody.
Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing.
Wow! Looks like that has been forgotten for a very long time. Although it is quite possible especially considering the dates that was a homestead,but that building could also be the remains of a church. It would be nice to go back and see if there are any written accounts of the families that you found. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
This has been a great place THANKS
The inscription is
" I have a goodly heritage" the rest you were spot on 😊
I love this kind of thing, I often wonder what it looked like many years ago, did it have a garden? Fascinating
I’m glad to know I’m not the only person who loves old cemeteries. I love to visit them, document them and clean them up. Do you know of groups in Kentucky that like to do these things?
So sad that eventually gravesites can become like this as those who once cared for them pass away. The history and stories they held and shared go with them. Once that next generation dies an entire generation can be forgotten.
Very awesome, thanks for sharing
Hi just found your channel and subbed love the way you give life to the graves reading the headstones and cleaning them Bravoooo !
Great video Robert. Thanks for taking us with you.🇺🇸✌️
Bless you for documenting these sites.
It would be awesome if someone was able to and could restore these old things like these as best as possible. Something for others to visit and see these relics. I'm sure there are bunches of them across the US. It would be neat to try to set these things at these places as back to the times that these head stones read.
Amazing. The house foundation is still there. Touched me to see that.
So many women died in childbirth, what a horrific way to die
Sad to see the cemetery in such disrepair. Looks like it might have flooded at one time. I am glad you have a brush now, so you can clean the stones in order to read them better. Thank you, Robert
