    No doubt there are many small family cemeteries hidden in rural areas throughout Georgia. It is very commendable that you and others are attempting to locate them and preserve them. While no one may visit these graves anymore, God knows where each one of His sleeping (dead) children lie.

      I've seen many abandoned cemeteries on old plantations like in Screen County. Some would be out in the middle of fields slowing being eroded upon year after year. Tragic. I farmed some of the old plantations not far from the Ogeechee River. I'd find old plantation fragments. My GG grandfather was captured near Macon Georgia by the evil invaders of Sherman's forces. My relative did NOT own slaves, unlike the Harris family in Jamaica who owned slaves.

    Great job 👍. Please carry a backpack with you. In the backpack you should have bottle water, non perishable food, first aid kit and identification with emergency contact information. Small hand tools such as a pocket knife, lighter or fire starter. Because anything can happen such as twisting your ankle, falling which resulted in bodily injuries, weather changes, etc. or even an old phone to make an emergency call.
    Always consider in case of emergency and things needed to survive. It's best to be prepared at all times.
    Thank you so much for your hard work in documenting the graves of loved ones from long ago.

    I think there are a lot of undocumented cemeteries. There was a small cemetery with about three couples deep in the woods where my family came from in Southeastern North Carolina, and some people went in and destroyed it. What is sad to me is that only one stone was put down in replacement for one male relative in the civil war. His wife next to him wasn't recognized, and the two other couples there do not have a memorial anymore either. And I believe they only had wooden crosses that were kicked and broken. I'm a descendant but not very close to the family that still knew any of the people buried out there. Apparently, they only knew one or didn't care to remark the others. I went on find a grave and found they had renamed the cemetery that was never even on Find A Grave before as being a resting place for only that one replaced marker. I did add a comment to the cemetery memorial in general that his wife was next to him and that two other couples were also there. Sadly, I do not know their names, but I am trying to figure it out. I am saddened by the whole thing. There are many snakes out there in the woods, but maybe in the middle of the winter, the track through the woods could be made again. There is no road or anything. It's only a latitude and longitude mark to find it now. I would like to put something down to memorialize the other people there. I just have to figure out their names and how to get there and, with help, lay something on the ground in their memory. There sure are a lot of evil people in the world that would do things like this. It's kind of sad to realize just how many people have been forgotten because of the same thing happening in many old cemeteries. These people died in the mid-1800s to late 1800s. It's sad to think of how many other people who have passed away in this time are also forgotten in our forests. God never forgets❤, but people do.

    Mother Moore's headstone, as you were originally walking past it, I thought it had an engraving of a man, with a photo of a child above his left shoulder. Turns out that it is just the algae & and mold formation. It's pretty cool. You'll have to tell me if you see it or not. It could just be pattern recognition for me.
