For a second, when your foot sank in the mud, I thought you were falling in a grave. I finished your "thought" for you! So glad that you and Cecil got this cemetery documented before those markers are completely unreadable.
Yes, it is so important to document the stones in this way. Because they do become unreadable. Also, that wasn’t mud, that was just a plain hole. I thought I was being pulled into a grave. It was quite a shock.
I enjoyed this. It's always nice to recognize those who have gone before and make their graves visible again. Thank you for all the work you and Cecil do for preservation.
There's pioneer family cemeteries all over Schley, Sumter, and Webster counties. I cataloged some on Find a Grave along with my former neighbor and Sumter county historian Jack Cox. I grew up not very far from the Concord community on the Sumter County side north of Plains. I've came across old family cemeteries hunting in this area and while backpacking in north Georgia. I always took pictures to see if they have been cataloged. This is extremely important for genealogy researchers and people researching their family histories. (I was mistaken. You were near the Concord Methodist Church northwest of Ellaville. There's another one near the Schely county line in Sumter County. That community was known as Concord Crossing. There was another community west of it called Friendship. Whenever you can take a look at the Church Hill cemetery and the Smyrna Cemetery thats a little north of it on highway 41 north of Preston. That church was founded in 1812. There's Native American graves in both of those extremely old cemeteries.)
@@AdventuresIntoHistory I emailed you. Mr. Cox is unfortunately passed. But I did send you a link to a book he wrote about the history of Sumter County with some of the family histories. I also sent you some locations of the old cemeteries in this county.
It was very interesting to hear the local history from Jesse. Thanks to him for showing you and Cecil where this poor old cemetery is. When you stepped in the hole it was quite alarming. Not as much as for you, I expect though.
Enjoy your videos and it is wonderful what uou do for those that have passed. Just think.about the many people that died and were buried in fields as they were travelling to begin a new life in an unexplored country. As time passes so do markers.Show us some of the cemeteries after they have been cleaned. IT is a mever ending job. Thanks for your work.😊
Awesome to find and locate yet another forgotten cemetery, with quite a few headstones that are marked! Take it that jesse's family still owns this property?? Sad that the little cemetery has no one to care for it, but happy to see Cecil brushing and documenting the headstones that ARE there. Great Video Robert. God bless you both.
What a great history this cemetery has. I'd love to own property that includes a forgotten family cemetery!☺️ It would be my gardening hobby. It'd be well kept, definitely documented, and pretty.💐 Glad you didn't twist your ankle - or worse.🩹 That hole came outa nowhere! Good thing that doesn't happen more often.🥴
I have a few in my property. It’s hard to do when the trees have engulfed some of the tombstones and they’re about 25 feet in the air. years ago, when I moved from New Jersey to South Carolina, I transported a graveyard from New Jersey to here. I still have the stones stacked up. I’ve never done anything with them.
It's a sobering thought that those who mourned the ones intered in these old cemeteries, are themselves gone and buried in forgotten cemeteries somewhere and as are those who mourned them!
Thanks for documenring and sharing this family cemetery, and a bit of history, too!! As a worrier😃 can any support be put under that marker that is on an angle so it can remain whole?
at least its not lost like a lot of the old cemeteries when the land is bought you can do to it as you want you own it is sad how many pioner cherches and cemeteries are gone and the history of the people as well Iknow I saved one in hamilton ohio a pioner chruch and cemetery revolutionary war soldiers war of 1812 and pioneers war all are listed an d greave reparied lots of work I stared when I was 18
This may have been answered before, but why not use dowsing rods to document unmarked burials? Our Historical and Genealogical Societies have several individuals that dowse graves to map old cemeteries, including myself.
Our biggest goal is documenting the sites. I firmly am a believer in preservation through documentation. We do not clean or restore these places, because that is not our goal. Our goal is to document, survey, and record these historic sites. That being said, we are currently involved in a restoration. And this documentation will lead to work being done on this cemetery. I would not encourage visits to a lot of the sites we document.
I’m not sure why a family wouldn’t have cut out their cemetery when selling something, but no one owns the graves or cemetery, but they do own the land.
I’m not really sure that people understand how much these dirt mats we run into on these stones stuck to the graves. It isn’t just a simple brush it off situation, that’s why I opt to use my hands to wipe dig pull off of graves. Of course I know it’s not as easy to know this just seeing it on video.
I think it's thick, stuck, muddy, and set in layers. One time, years ago, kid you not, one of the guys pulled up what looked like a thick carpet off of a slab gravestone. The muddy layers had settled into the letters & numbers, like molds, and you could make out some letters and a few numbers under the "carpet". It was very cool. Those don't happen often tho. Normally everything sticks and is a bear to remove.

@@AdventuresIntoHistoryI thought at first, you almost stepped near a snake!!!
Love and enjoy your videos Robert .. May the lord bless and protect you Robert and Cecil and bringing out the past history.
Same to you!
I enjoyed this. It's always nice to recognize those who have gone before and make their graves visible again. Thank you for all the work you and Cecil do for preservation.
Thank YOU!
Thank-you guys for clearing the headstones and documenting who's grave was there
So interesting and worthwhile; respecting those who have gone on before us. ❤
Gotta love a man who has tools. Way to go Cecil.
Thank you Jesse and Cecil for taking us out to an amazing forgotten cemetery..
Thank you!
Well done finding this one. Thank you fellas for the history of this small community.

I have family all over Sumter. Email me, I’d like to talk to you and Jack Cox. sidestepadventures@gmail.com

I just love the work you all are doing and recording for future generations.
Well, that cemetery would have been long forgotten, were not for your and Cecil’s investigative abilities! An amazing cemetery. 👍
great finds ! so nice to bring to light all of the lost stones, along with their names.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful souls❤
Thanks for sharing. Love how you have so much passion for forgotten cemeteries

History Worth Saving 💯🤲✊
Thank you Jesse and cecil
Thank you fellas! ❤️
Thank-you!
If I bought land from that had a cemetary on it, I would take care of it. Those are people that came before us and created thr history of that land.
It's always amazing seeing these old graves .I found a grave here near Ft Donelson..Guy was born in 1774 and died 1868...He saw 3 wars in our soil..
I love your videos and have been following you for a long time now.
Hello ,its snowing here ,as the winter weather advisory has arrived.
Cold freezing rain here!
What a great history this cemetery has. I'd love to own property that includes a forgotten family cemetery!☺️
It would be my gardening hobby. It'd be well kept, definitely documented, and pretty.💐

Yes
Thamkyou for all you do
Wow what a forgotten place 😢
God knows where it is. ❤
@Concetta20 you are right about that🤗
I really enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing ❤
You are welcome!
Love the old mill its always creepy to see open graves very creepy like somebody trying to get out😮
Im not saying I've seen seen all your video's, but I've seen a lot of them, and I've never seen Cecil this excited/animated.
If you ever come to nc, there is a old cemetery my husband and I would love to take you to
It's called the burying ground in beaufort north Carolina
Interesting video !
Finally , somebody brought a brush ! 😂
These people must like it that you speak their names .and the others glad you are aware of them ❤
Another great video guys Thxs,Jessy,Cecil and Robert.Is that 1791 birth date the oldest you ever found,just asking?
Thanks for documenring and sharing this family cemetery, and a bit of history, too!!
As a worrier😃 can any support be put under that marker that is on an angle so it can remain whole?
I got tons of these forgotten, graveyards all throughout my property.
at least its not lost like a lot of the old cemeteries when the land is bought you can do to it as you want you own it is sad how many pioner cherches and cemeteries are gone and the history of the people as well Iknow I saved one in hamilton ohio a pioner chruch and cemetery revolutionary war soldiers war of 1812 and pioneers war all are listed an d greave reparied lots of work I stared when I was 18
💞
Finally, someone came prepared with a stiff brush!
This may have been answered before, but why not use dowsing rods to document unmarked burials? Our Historical and Genealogical Societies have several individuals that dowse graves to map old cemeteries, including myself.
Tried it once, didn’t work for me. But I am really good at finding otherwise unmarked graves, if they have any kind of tell.
Now that it's been rediscovered, will it be kept up?
I frequently wonder what, if any, results come from your & Cecil's research. Are there viewers in a position to attend any of your hidden locations?
Our biggest goal is documenting the sites. I firmly am a believer in preservation through documentation. We do not clean or restore these places, because that is not our goal. Our goal is to document, survey, and record these historic sites. That being said, we are currently involved in a restoration. And this documentation will lead to work being done on this cemetery. I would not encourage visits to a lot of the sites we document.
@@AdventuresIntoHistory Having acknowledged that, how many folks will make the effort to try anyway...probably not many, if any at all.
Very interesting! Would b nice if someone could get that lil cemetery cleaned up better tho. Out of respect for those that's departed🙏🪦🙏👍😊
Yeah. That’s the plan. Documentation is the most important tho.
How can one sell a graveyard?
I’m not sure why a family wouldn’t have cut out their cemetery when selling something, but no one owns the graves or cemetery, but they do own the land.
My late Friend Chuck was head librarian at Coca Cola headquarters, Atlanta, Georgia, for many years, back in the day.
My ancestors lived in the concord community…they weren’t Murray’s or Pattons though. TJ Cook was my ancestor I believe!
That’s awesome
Y'all where not to far down the road from me I live down Hopewell Church Rd
Oh awesome!
Cecil needs a bigger brush 😅
Yeah, I don’t think they make a big enough brush for the places we document
Metal detect that old farmhouse location!
Whats the reasoning Robert for elevating the marker?
It’s another burial style. Like a modern version of the stacked stone graves. Modern for mid-later 1800’s.
Need to bring a yard brush so you don’t have to bend Dow so much 😊😇
LOL...SHucks, Sugar, SHite!
Pour a bottle of water on those inscriptions that you can't read.
🇵🇰♥️
You guys need better brooms!
