- On this exciting episode of Adventures into History, I’m joined by my friend David Hogg as we dive deep into his family's history, exploring ghost towns and forgotten cemeteries in Marion County, Georgia. We visit the remnants of Pineville, Georgia, the ghost town of Hogg, Georgia, and the mysterious Old Philadelphia Graveyard. Together, we uncover pieces of the past buried in these abandoned places, revealing untold stories and a rich heritage that has been left behind. Get ready for an unforgettable journey through time, filled with history and intrigue!

That's so great he knows where his family are buried and knows so much about them.
Mr. David is a lovely man and his Granddaddy would be so proud to be remembered for being such a splendid gentleman.
His granddaddy would be sad that David has not kept those family graves in better condition..
David Hogg, I hope soon you do go clean those graves and show them to us again.
This was fantastic, the Hogg family left some great history...what beautiful memories. The piece of candy made me cry. I will think of of this story for a long time. Thanks Robert ❤
Loved the video. The baby's marker was absolutely amazing. The gentleman sharing his family history did a great job. Very soft spoken.
Robert, thank you again for documenting this part of my family history. You do a great job producing these videos.
Thank YOU David for allowing me too! Let’s do it again soon!
I think they need to restore that church.That's a lot of history in that building. I'd believe it's over two hundred years.
Truly enjoyed listening to Mr Hogg tell his ancestors history. Beautiful markers as well.
Amazing history! So many babies and children’s graves. So sad. Makes you wonder what great things they could have accomplished had they lived.
I hope Mr Hogg gets the cemetery cleaned up and the family can return annually as caretakers.
In time we are all forgotten, brings it home visiting old graves especially ones that are falling apart or can’t be read anymore.
Nice to see you Mr Hogg. I enjoyed your video. :)
What a nice remembrance of his grandfather!
So enjoyed the trek. One of the best history sources is local nursing home folks.
Another sad story of the death of a baby and a young woman. The epitaph I believe is: "Dearest Mother thou has left us here thy loss we deeply feel but tis God that hath bereft us He can all our sorrows heal." Wow, a lot of history. That church is wonderful to see, and under you go for the build details. 😃Every video seems to weave more of the tapestry of history - it is all woven together in an amazing way to arrive at today throughout many of the counties in Georgia. I know more about Georgia than I do my own backyard. Great one, Robert. ❣👍❣👍 See Robert's Adventures Into History pinned comments about donations to the cemetery restoration project he is working on.
Sadly that's just how it was back in those days (and still in some parts of the world) the child mortality rate and the dangers women had in having children was INSANE (living in general for everyone was much harder- simple fixes now would easily end lives back then) 😕
The epitaph was beautiful and sad but really common i've seen it and other forms of it (not taking away from its impact just saying).
Thanks for writing out the epitaph - it's a beautiful piece of literature. I love that epitaphs from back then mention God, Jesus, the Resurrection, Heaven, and Scripture. Their Christian faith was so foundational.
I'm the same - I also know more about Western Georgia than I do my own backyard, too!😂
These are fascinating cemeteries and the church. I think the grave houses are precursors of more modern mini mausoleums. The cemetery that I buried my husband in this summer has a few of the little marble mausoleums. My husband will have an upright stone with a traditional verse. I am so happy that you and your fellow historians honor so many wonderful souls.
This is a very touching video, and it’s also fascinating to see a member of that family, and to know how important it is to him that these graves are his ancestors.
I watch this channel every time a new video is posted. I keep hoping to see some of my ancestors. today I finally did. My grandmother was a Gunnels she married a Scofield all from that area and Alabama. I would love to learn more about this side of my family.
That's awesome!!🥳
❤
Robert? I have a bad question... can you possibly get the boards you need for the Old Byrd Farm to reconstruct the outside of your home, from the buildings you visit that are almost gone? With permission of corse.... That would be awesome!
Hope I made sense... lol.
Another great video!
It's almost time for some spooky videos.. 😊 👻😈
I loved this video. It is a fascinating family history and family. I'm glad to hear the stories are being told and to see the beautiful graves. Thank you Robert and David for the history.
Don't know when you put this video out but I was wondering and I know a lot of others are if you are all okay you made it through the hurricane is okay if the old bird farms okay if you didn't have any damages to it thanks Robert for sharing what you have and keep safe
Second graveyard is beautiful. I wish they all were in that good condition.
Really enjoyed this one
There's some long leaf pines growing in an abandoned field next to my house. They range from about 8 to around 10 foot tall and growing faster than normal. They're a little too close for comfort being only around 20 feet from my house. The owner don't mind me cutting down stuff but I don't cut down the long leaf pines since they're trying to make a comeback here in Georgia. But living in Dixie Alley makes us subject to tornadoes and hurricanes like Helene that just came through. Thankfully it was only around a category one in my area and so I had limited damage, but tall pines and old oaks can be deadly in high winds.
I stayed at City Mills Hotel! The Army invited me on a tour of Fort Moore and that's where they put us up. It is beautiful! Love historic buildings.
Pretty little cemetery. Nice to hear of the connection of those resting there to a living relative. Another nice video, thank you.
I enjoyed imagining the building in its hey-day, beautifully maintained and often filled with happy voices and beautiful music.
Another great adventure into History. Your friend is a wealth of information. The old church has some bad bones but probably salvageable.
This was awesome! You have me so well-trained that I feel pretty cheated if another explorer shows an abandoned church and takes no time for the related cemetery. I realize they don't have the family ties that many of the people you interview do, but it would still add so much to the experience. Good job as always!
Sad story but a beautiful place to see.wow
Some great history!

Love the family history…so much history has been lost thru time
Great video glad to see the jeep is back hope it didnt cost an arm and a leg to repair
Aloha 🌺 Thank you David for sharing with us so much history. The baby in the shell is so beautiful! Aloha 🌺
Very special!
Beautiful family cemetery, really enjoyed the history of the family members buried there, his ancestors would be proud of him sharing their stories and history. Thank you for documenting it for his future generations.
Thank you Mr. Robert and Mr. David. I enjoyed this video very much and Mr. David, I appreciate your love for your family so much. So many people today just don't seem to care. 😊❤
Thanks!
Amazing stories. Love what you do to keep history alive. 🇺🇸💪
Very interesting to hear a story behind some of the graves
Wow, loved this video. Thank you Mr David Hogg for sharing with us your family. I so totally enjoyed it. Ty Robert!!!
I am so thankful i ran across you channel , thank you for preserving history and the history of these past people very well could be my kin , ya never know 🙏🏼
Wouldn't that be cool?! You might just find an ancestor or two. 😁
This is amazing history. We Southerners who had Ancestor's in the Northern invasion and The Revolutionary War are proud of our Heritage and Ancector's.
This is a very touching video, and it’s also fascinating to see a member of that family, and to know how important it is to him that these graves are his ancestors. And I kept thinking, when we looked at that old church, falling apart, that if a museum could be built there around that structure, how that would be appreciated for generations to come. Very sad to see it go to ruin.
Excellent video ❤
What a lovely man. Me heart was breaking to see all the infant deaths but then I was rejoicing as he shared about the ministry of his grandfather. I hope he goes back to tend to the graves as his grandfather did. When he gave you the candy and track, that brought tears toy eyes. Once again what a lovely man. I always like your videos. Thank you for sharing this one. 😢 God bless you.
Very interesting to hear a story behind some of the graves. I really enjoyed this video. I cherish peoples history that have passed. the older I get the more important it is to me
Another great video. Thanks Robert, David and Joy.
Thank you
Such a good story about his grandfather
Very interesting video.👍👍
This is a marvelous video. Thank you to David for sharing his family history.
I read somewhere that Pineville had a large lumber mill at one time. The owner lived in a very nice house in Bunavista GA. The Bivins family is in my family tree
This was so interesting. Thank you Robert and friend. It is very important. Donna northern MIchigan
Wonderful and interesting video 🙏
Fascinating video with some much present, living connection to the past. The babies marker in the beginning was gorgeous. ❤
Thank you for this interesting video! Loved it all, especially the Hogg family history.
Found this very interesting , thank you for sharing .
Robert please D2 that babies stone. It's beautiful. My uncle died the same way when he was 4 months old. Placed in crib that night, went to get him in the morning and he was gone. My grandma passed two years later after the birth of my Mom.
What a wonderful video. Love from Australia. ❤❤❤
Absolutely the best channel with real content and real people. Thank you for the great uploads and work.
Very interesting video. Loved it.
Hey yall! Love your videos❤ My great aunt Ida Sanders married a Hogg and are all buried in Powers Cemetery on Chicken Road, hwy 257, Pulaski Co.
Are they connected to Hogg Mine? east of Lagrange I think.
Loved this. Great history.
Great adventure thanks for sharing.
Great video love the history of Mr Dave's family , and the beautiful church
Wow what an amazing place and a very special part of history for them there in that area thank you for sharing with us and hope all is well after the storms!
Very cool! I really enjoyed you sharing the history with us, sir ❤ Beautiful land ❤
Great story. Interesting
I'd like to get a copy of his Grandfather's tract on the Bible. Henry Hogg was a remarkable man.
History is There- important for many folks
Very interesting the stories from history. What will put people say about us someday.
I'm so glad I get to follow this with you all
Loved this video, so much history. It’s pretty cool to hear the old stories from his family history.
Excellent
Interesting video! My maiden name is Harbuck. My grandfather’s name was Samuel Harbuck. Can’t find a connection though.
Cool!
Have you checked Find A Grave? Maybe find some info there??
I wish you the best! I hope you find some ancestors! 😁
@@cindys.9688I did check find a grave but didn’t find a connection. Thanks for the info
A great video! Always an enjoyable and informative lesson watching your documentation of days long gone!
There is a building that has HOGG in Tyler Texas. 👏 Robert blessings with your many enlightening projects..🤟🙏🏻👣👏550 Tx
This was so sad and very interesting

Love the history. Thanks
So interesting. Thank you.❤❤🙏
When I see these old cemeteries with so many child graves, I think of how many hours the parents must have spent there crying. Just to feel close to their babies 😢
Adventure on!!
Ok, make sure the lovely Joy gets in front of the camera at least some!
Pretty cool graveyard with all the different graves. It's always so sad seeing the children's one's. I remember the church from an earlier video and being amazed at the size that tree would have had to be for that support. Also thinking about how they reused it all for the new church. Is a pity it couldn't just stand that way forever.
In early 1800s there was a Hoggs store in the Pomaria broad river section of Newberry Co. SC on old maps
Interesting stories.
I wish I had one of those tracks.
I come from the Hog family - seen it spelled all different ways.
Just think those beams could have been cut 200 or more years ago but the tree would have been a long leaf pine! If it was an original old growth tree it could have been 300 to 500 years old when cut!
I bet his grandfather spent years writing his tracts. They didn’t have the internet then!
Loved this video! Having an actual descendant giving you the grand tour makes it an even more special graveyard visit.🪦🧭
The church...💗💗💗 It's just precious. It'd be nice to see it cleaned up and gently restored, keeping it looking "old" but not like "ruins". It'd be quite a project, I'll say that. I'm glad it's still standing. It's in a serene, wooded area which adds to its undeniable charm.
I know you hear this all the time, but ✨THANK YOU!✨ for your commitment to restore and document every lovely cemetery and graveyard you visit! The people who lived back then would probably be saddened to see the current condition of their beloved burial places. Then along comes you🦸🏼♂️ to save the day! Seriously, these burial sites don't need to be forgotten. You're their superhero. No doubt.⚔️
Near Hutcheson Pass, I saw like two or three abandoned little sheds or houses.. you should check them out
Wouldn't a grave house be similar to a mausoleum? And Ms. Joy running off the shot was funny to me.
No, they cover the below ground burial but not built up like a mausoleum would be
Got to, got to eat the candy… 🤣😂
Excellent video! There was a prominent Hogg family that lived in Texas (governor). Wonder if they are related somehow.
Jimmie and Billy Carter, it's hard to believe, Jimmie is 100 years old. We knew him from Carter's pills and Peanuts.
My 6th great grandmother was Polly Hogg b:1774, that is all I found when I was doing family history. She was one of the dead ends I was researching several years ago. I wonder if there is a connection there......
The Spanish moss reminded me of tattered sails from a ghost ship, or of a tattered dress worn by a woman who had long passed away.
