Wow this brought me to tears. Just epic Todd. I loved the story of Annie and the walk in the woods, the river the bluff and the music just epic.

The Cemetery seems to be in very good shape. Not overgrown and not vandalized. Thanks to whoever is doing this!

Thank you 💕 BEAUTIFUL!! Thank You, Father God for Your creation!! So glad you all found the cemetery!! I'm sure the descendants will appreciate knowing where their ancestors are buried. God bless you 🙏

Beautiful peaceful area! Magnificent

It is so moving seeing the remnants of once vibrant lives who lived there.

Pure gold Todd. The videos are captivating and this is a gem. Keep the place private. They have been at peace for so long and it’s such a peaceful place. Phenomenal video.

Absolutely Amazing!!! Beautiful area!!! Thank you Todd for fixing the headstone!!! That just shows your respect for the Family!!! Thank you for sharing this vlog with us!!! God Bless!!!!

I just got to say that looks like an and absolutely beautiful place to rest

Just woke up from major surgery. And still managed to see your latest video. Thanks for sharing

Speechless for sure. What a great ending for this series and the climax was incredible

Omgosh the view was spectacular...gorgeous...breathtaking !!!!! This one made me cry...then you add the music ...wow

Thai's a beautiful place Todd thank for sharing with us.I enjoyed it very much.

Beautiful walk along the river Todd. Thank you for sharing. ❤

Hello from Knoxville my friend. Amazing and thank you for taking me with you. I don’t have that much time left and I would love to rest in a place like that. What a beautiful place. I think we enjoy the same type of places. Stay safe and say hello to the family for me.

Absolutely beautiful!!!

What a great, moving story. The scenery and music really added to the spiritual aura in your visit with people from a time and place long gone, but not forgotten.

What a beautiful place Todd. What they had back in the day. People may have been poor money wise but they had more then what money could buy them. An that's the love of the land an their families all close by them. They were together day in an day out working the land they called home. Times were so much simpler back then when you had to make do with what you had or what you were able to make out of the resources you had. Such a beautiful place that was once occupied by many including the natives before they occupied the land I'm sure. I'm sure there are many native artifacts to be found by the river banks an old relics around the old home sites as well. Maybe you will have some time to come back an spend the day looking it over for some buried history. You always manage to find some really amazing places Todd. All the hard work definitely pays off for you. An your right about the old cemetery. Don't look like anyone had been there for many years. This day in time there's just not many people left that's willing to take the time to keep these places in check. An they tend to all fall by the way side. An eventually go back into mother earth as we will one day as well. Todd another awesome video on some really amazing lost history of the old farmstead. Have an awesome weekend. An we will catch you on your next adventure my friend. 😁👍👍

Just now getting this across my KZfaq feed. Better late then never 😄👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thanks for keeping on the look for our history Todd. John and Jane Maddox say hello.

Todd your videos are top quality. I love the history story weaves into this even while you are telling the Slonaker Story. Superb video.

Absolutely beautiful scenery!

Spectacular scenery and great storyline Todd. Top notch!

Great adventure, that view at the end was breathtaking!!!!

Loved this. Thank you for sharing.

Goodness what an awesome video. I loved the story about Annie and the suspense leading to the river. Great ending.

An absolutely beautiful storyline and historical content. This was so cool. Thanks, Todd, for the adventure.

Thank you for filming the cemetery, and the walk to the river. Being on top of those boulders near the edge looking at the valley and mountains in the background and the river below. I can imagine when these settlers came and saw the beauty of that river and settled somewhere up there. Glad you are going to record the cemetery. So many of them in the forests are long forgotten.

Thanks for the ride. I enjoyed so much!!! Isn’t our planet so beautiful???

One of the most peaceful and mind satisfying videos I have ever seen thank you for the experience Todf

Great video and amazing scenery!

Thank you. Great video.

Can you imagine how many people in the last 200+ years I have stood on those same spots, looking down at the river! 🤔

Love it

Amazing video Todd. So glad I saw it, very inspirational certainly with a strong spiritual feel. Thanks for making it.

Delightful video I started watching after surgery today. Unfortunately I passed out part way into it, then suddenly woke up when Todd exclaimed, "Oh my gosh!" Yes, it was a stellar view I'll try and watch the entire video tomorrow. Many thanks from Penny Jennings Taylor, now tge. Bionic "Terminator" woman. 😏 😂

Wow so somber, wonderful that you found it. So peaceful what a gem. Wonder, who the Powells were that are buried there? I come from a line of Pre-revolutionary war Powells from VA and NC.👍

Great story Todd. Enjoyed the history. Thanks from. Sc.

Absolutely breathtaking.heart ❤❤God’s beautiful handy work.

It's so peaceful and uninterrupted. It's one of those places you keep to yourself. If anyone has a real interest in locating the cemetery they will do the research and spend the time as you did. Seems just fitting to let them rest and only be visited by people who are willing to go that extra mile.. I kind of knew before you mentioned it, That you put the headstone right again. I'm sure someone was smiling down at you. Thanks for an interesting video and keeping their names alive.

Breathtaking scenery Todd. The cemetery was serene. Can that location be metal detected? There had to be homesites there. 👏👍❤️

I was quenching my ### when you two were that close to the edge lol but a very nice video as usual thanks

What a nice place to explore and detect. There could have been Native American Settlements along that river, they love areas high up and rock cliffs for protection. Who knows what might be there.

At 1:29 I wouldn't be going in there!

Cool place. Not sure when you were there, but now is time to keep an eye out for ramps.

It breaks my heart to see graves no longer attended to.

Beautiful, rugged land. Those early pioneers were resilient people. How many people today could cross that land by horse and wagon, clear fieldstones and hew wood to make their homes. I’d say not many.

Annie Hawkins who died in the accident was the daughter of Henry Hawkins and his wife Louisa J.Slonaker. Louisa was the daughter of Christopher Slonaker and Mary Stephens.

Really like your videos. Very informative on the history of the area and people. Guys please invest in a better camera. It will improve the quality of your videos so much.

The end of the video was in The Valley of the Three Forks of the Wolf River. 😮

If you ever go back to that graveyard and can get permission possibly take a leaf blower there's nothing wrong with cleaning a graveyard

Is there a connection between the Slonaker family and the Hawkins family?

PUT A FLAG ON THAT HERO'S GRAVE!!!

With my daughter doing gen research and remembered this video. Do you know what connection Henry and Annie Hawkins had to the Slonakers?

I wouldn’t…. Leave it be and don’t put it on Find a grave. It’s been in peace for so long leave it alone
