When you laid the first partial stone back down, you gave it a loving "pat pat." Shows your gentle nature. Thank you for all you do.🙏🙏🙏

That one was really overgrown. I like Cody's snake boots, good idea. Clearing those sites would be a good job for people who are assigned community work by the courts. It would benefit everybody.

(Mrs. Macci) Where did all these people live over a hundred years ago to fill this big cemetery? They had to drive by buggy, so it could not have been too far. Amazing! Mostly it included a little church or chapel. We wish we could join you. When the kids grew up I took them around during summer vacation and we visited many cemeteries where ever we lived. (Military) I never found more peaceful places than cemeteries and it is wonderful to have conversation with the dead upon reading their stones. None ever minded and quite to the contrary, we always got back the friendliest vibes. :) I never see ghosts there, only living people not unlike us who were hoping for the same good life as we do now. One thing we all felt, some more and some less: grief, sorrow and tears. The pain of losing loved ones never leaves and their tears saturated the earth beneath our feet.

Iam at a loss how a graveyard this big can be left forgotten with war graves as well ?? great vid

Maintaining a cemetery is a LOT of work. It looks like with a whole lot of the trees being small saplings, it was maintained to some degree up until a few years ago. It's interesting to think that a whole town of people have moved away.

Every county in the USA has probationers that have to do community service. I can't think of a better service than keeping abandoned cemeteries clean and tidy. Our ancestors deserve no less. Pax Vobiscum

How do such large cemeteries become lost and forgotten? I can see that being the case with private family cemeteries.

How can so many people be forgotten to time? Its sad that no one visits. But I kinda hope this happens to my grave. Left alone in the would to be in peace forever. Bathed in the sun and the rain. Run over by the footsteps of animals but not people.

After watching a few of these videos you get the impression that there has been a wholesale movement of the Georgia rural population from the land to the towns and cities (?) which has taken place over the last couple of generations. I cannot believe that if the people or descendants of those buried had been there they would have let the cemeteries return to the wilderness in the way that is shown in the film. It is clear that these cemeteries were cared for and tended with fences delineating the boundary. What is shocking is the clear vandalism and desecration either by individuals or commercial interests. Those headstones have been broken with hammers and not some casual kick or push which in itself is appalling that people would deliberately damage the last resting place of somebody that once lived as we live now.

I find it lovely when you read the names of the forgotten. It gives meaning to those long gone. Thank you.

Great video sir.in my opinion there is absolutely no excuse for a cemetary to be overgrown and forgotten like the ones you film.

Your sons are so sweet. They are kind young men.

Many many years ago I once stumbled across some abandoned graves in Leek Staffordshire England of captured French Napoleonic soldiers who ended up staying and marrying English girls, after this I realised every grave has a story!

George N. Terry Co G 46th Georgia Infantry Born: 26MAY1843 Died: 30JUL1864 Siege of Atlanta Died of disease

Ooh! I love reading the dates on graves like 1893 or 1908 or something, I’ve founded Oakhollow Cemetery with dates between 1827 and 2020, all my late relatives back to my great great great grandmother, A million thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

OMG this makes me so sad that this cemetery has been forgotten and left to ruin.😢. Thank you for sharing. Do you think there is a church group or city that would take on the task of restoring/cleaning up?

Wewd love to see an afternoon with Robert about this place. 🙂 So glad you found another treasure...👍 Thanks Robert....

Thank you for sharing your video I’m so glad you keep up on all those forgotten. Bless you and your family

That was an unexpected surprise! Great finding these old graves, and those beautiful 100 foot tall or more cedar tree's with the Spanish moss. It makes the cemetery look good, but yeah your right it needs to be trimmed down some, and old piles of sticks and branches need to go. I lost count myself, I counted about 40, but lost track. It's a big cemetery, and the Boone headstone, put there by a relative, his great great great great grandson. Wonder if he's related to Daniel Boone! That would be so cool if you got all this information on the folks buried in this cemetery. Thank you for stopping and you and Cody, going out. I doubt if there Corona there in them woods, sky and trees make oxygen, just social distance at about 6 ft, ya'll be fine.

Amazing find. Can't wait to see the next part. Nathaniel Boone's great, great grandsons obviously cared because they had a new headstone made for him. I'm wondering if a genealogy find compelled them to do that, perhaps when they were researching Daniel Boone? All speculation of course, but fun to imagine.

Awesome and amazing you found another cemetery and helping families find their missing families ,✝️💜🙏, don't forget the brooms and saws and flags and flowers ,please be safe out there and God bless you and your family and friends

These graveyards always make me want to go in and clear the scrub hate seeing them so derelict looking forward to your next vid on this one

♥️💐Amazing Find💐♥️ loving the life of Adventures

Thank You for your videos, Robert. So many gravestones in the USA have freemason symbols on it, odd. Much love from Europe. Here in Europe we have graves over 1000 years old 😉. Keep it up, Robert thanks to You again, great work!

So much history, I’m glued to the screen every time I view an adventure! Thank you!

Great as usual...thank you for brightening my day by having a video!! Housebound and going crazy!

Please tell us more about this cemetery when you find out. Quite fantastic.

Awesome find. Sad that thus has been forgotten and lost to time. Thank you for remembering these souls. Be safe

Hey Robert, good one. It will be very interesting as your updates come along. I'm in Colorado and we have many many of these type of old mining town cemeteries. Take care from Valerie and Dave

I totally enjoy watching your adventures very interesting be careful and stay safe from sue in the uk x

In 2019, I visited an Old Cemetary in ( Whitfield County Georgia) that has some of my Ancestors buried there. They were born in the 1780's when GEORGE WASHINGTON was INAUGRATED as the FIRST PRESIDENT!!! It was maintained many years by a man until he passed away. It is up beside a " Logging road ", and has not been maintained or cared for In many years, and I had to be told by a gentleman that live close by, exactly where to find it.I t has alot of gravesites of local people living there in the 1700 & 1800's.

Love it! Can't wait for the follow-up visit!

Really looking forward to the next video. What an awesome find.

I enjoy your videos. For the love of Pete....buy a $2.99 whisk broom.

Thank you Robert for your videos which really help breakup this quarantine monotony.

It would make a nice Boy Scout project to clean that cemetery up a bit.

Use the app OnX to calculate the size of a cemetery or anything by marking it and saving it. You can see where you’ve been and found places that have been forgotten.

thanks for another great show luv the camera work cant wait for up date video luv it b safe b sweet

I just can't believe how many children died and how young so many people dies back then. It's just so sad.

That looks like it was an amazing cemetery in its day. Now so many people forgotten to time

Go back and repeat your first place you made a video. Very sad this isn't kept up. This is absolutely incredible, wow can't believe how many headstones. Once it would start to be cleared out it probably is larger than you would ever think. 😁👍❤

Hi just want to say love watching your videos thankyou for saving history from Tanya in Australia

I'm taking a break from Distance Teaching (yeah, it's a challenge for the teachers, too). I really enjoyed this video & am looking forward to the expanded version. I was curious about Nathaniel E Boone, with the replaced tombstone. Ancestry shows him in 1859 & 1860 living alone, near Lumpkin, Stewart Co., GA. In 1860, his occupation was overseer and his personal value was $3,000. He owned no real estate and he was not listed next to any Boone. On 13 July 1867 he took & signed the Voting Oath which in tiny print said that the responder denied that he "engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States" and further, that he denied that he "gave aid and comfort to the enemies" [of the US]. In 1870 (55 y/o) he was living with James Boon (age 52) and presumably James's wife. They had a farm that Nathaniel was working on. The 1880 census shows him farming alone and listed as a widower. About 1883 the Georgia Property Tax Digest listed Nathaniel E Boone with debts of $1,400 and property value of $1,800. He died 1 Jan 1885. On 3rd June that year, court records show that he died intestate and that his estate was disbursed "as the law requires." There was no mention of any children. Yet Nathaniel 's memory is valued by many. I hope his Texas kin see this fascinating Sidestep Adventures video.

That's an amazing graveyard, glad you're going to do several videos to cover it. It's good you will be getting a little historical help this will be so interesting. Thanks for sharing this.Can't wait!

I absolutely love your videos. You have such a kind and beautiful heart!

Just an astonishing Cemetery, just amazing.

They very sad when people forget the dead. I try to visit my family cemetery very one a month I bring flowers and set and speak to them..it very important April 18!!2020 sat

Have you thought about using GPS to help mark these Cemeteries. Would help plot the outline and you could use it to lay out the graves.

Another great find. Looks like it hasn't been taken care of for some time. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more on this location. Thanks Robert

I was excited right along with you, Robert! Seeing headstone after headstone. I'm EXCITED for Parts 2 & 3 where we get to learn more about the people buried there and maybe some extra town info.☺

When you first started going into the woods to film, I thought I saw a big foot ! Naw, it was just Cody ! Lol.... Awesome find guys ! Can't wait so see the rest of this story.

Sad such a big cemetery has been forgotten. I hope you will go back for another visit. Thanks, Robert

That one might need some bush wacking done. There must be 50 or more plus what is not marked. Now that would be worth checking out and doc. Good work stay safe and well

God Bless You from LeRoy in Carrington, North Dakota !

Thanks again...love what you are doing.

What a great application for a LIDAR camera equipped drone. You could cut through the vegetation and clearly see the locations of all of the stones. The latest iPad has a LIDAR camera on it, but I haven't seen it in action to know how well it would reveal all the stonework. Probably will see that on iPhones within two years though, so stay tuned. It could revolutionize old cemetery restoration/preservation and amateur archaeology in general.

OMG we definitely need to return here. What a great find. So happy you were persistent in finding the final one of the trilogy. Awesome adventure.

Love your videos! Thank you for continuing to explore. Love the history

May I recommend going around the perimeter and tying orange tape at the fence line. That way there is no mistaking its location when the loggers come through. Hopefully the county will employ inmates to cut down the smaller trees and clear the brush. That’s a job for inmates if ever I saw one. Another great job! Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely awesome adventure, Robert!! That cemetery is massive...I am just imagining how that area looked like before... Ohhh and I loved the newer stone placed by the GG grandsons from Texas. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful place. ❤

Thank-you for share your passion and taking us along. As sad as it is that these places are forgotten by the living it nice to see Mother Nature is wrapping her arms around these people and their final resting places. We come from the Earth and we will all return to it eventually. Stay safe and take care.🍻

it's a shame nobody take care of these cemetery why the family does not do something about itthank you and you have a blessed day 🙏

Shared and liked the video.. Always interesting to see old graves.. Keep up the good work.. Greetings fom NL...

Enjoyed seeing this "first impressions" walk-thru presentation! What an INCREDIBLE find. Can't wait for the second visit for an in-depth tour! I love cemetery videos and Sidestep Adventures' are among the very top of my list!!! I can listen to you read names/dates and "crunch" through the undergrowth for hours on end!

Not only does the size of the graveyard and its total abandonment amaze me but I can't help thinking where on earth the communities these people lived were . They surely must have been quite substantial settlements to have a graveyard this big. Looking forward to your return here, thanks guys.

Oh Robert what a find, I so look forward to you coming back. Absolutely loved it. Stay safe

How amazing! Love your videos! Thank you for all your hard work helping find lost loved ones!

This was just amazing. Thank you for the tour!

Wow that is a large one to be so overgrown!

Hollomon Creek Cemetery Stewart County, Georgia

Most of what you have found lately are family plots. This is a community grave yard. A now abandoned town had to have once close by. Once again, thank you for sharing.

Cody, you’ve grown up to be an outstanding young man.

Thank you for what you do. Awesome channel love watching. You have a new subscriber. Old Cemeteries fascinate me. Steve from Monroe County Michigan.

I love the way you give each gravestone a little pat when you lay it back down.

What an awesome find. It makes me want to get in there and do some cleaning up. You are so kind to make a path in. I wish there was some way to restore some of these places. Im glad you are documenting them so they will never again be forgotten. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤

I would love to see what these graveyards looked like in their prime, nature has just taken them over again.

As always another great video! 👏🏻👍🏼

Such an awesome find. Would some of the bigger trees have been in the original Cemetery ? It must have been beautiful in its time but so sad to see it neglected and forgotten about. God Bless you Robert for getting your clippers to clear a path. Ive said it before and I'll say it again, you have a beautiful Soul. 🌿🌳🌿🌳🌿🌳🌿🌳

Yup... That's my idea of social distancing. exploring old cemeteries in the Georgia woods. However, I'm one of those "essential" workers, so I have to go to work every day. However, every morning i eagerly await my lunch break, as I know you'll have another awesome video waiting for me! Thanks for making this hectic time enjoyable for us! Wonderful, wonderful videos.

God Bless you for working so hard to share this graveyard and sharing.

That was awesome! I cannot wait to see what you are able to accomplish there.

Multi Video for sure. This is epic!! I could tell you were excited because man you were moving through there :) :) I would be too!! I can't wait to see it in more detail. It was difficult to see the layout, it almost looked like graves were going every which way. It's sad that its been left to get so over grown like this. It's close to being forgotten. Only a few traces of others that come to pay their respects. May be time to work your magic again Robert ;). Can't wait for the next one. ps take the dang blue brush with you (from the old car... :)

I was kicking back with a bucket of KFC and a few beers watching this show and thinking what a fine place to be laid to rest in those woods, only hope no bulldozer come along and spoils those resting, Cheers all.

Love this site. I spent years exploring old cemeteries in Ireland, England and Scotland. It's wonderful he preserves historic places!

I echo so many comments that wonder how a cemetery like this can be so entirely forgotten. So sad. You'd think there would be descendants, church or municipalities that would have some caregivers. I look forward to your continued videos on this treasure.

Robert this is a big, big cemetery I am so sad at the condition of it, but maybe there are no survivor's left but then again look at the new stone that was replaced by great great, grandson from Texas, I'm so touched as you would lift up a broken stone to see if there was any information then carefully you would place it back and pat it that was caring and respectful. So sad all this people are forgotten but thanks to you maybe they won't for long .Thank you

It’s pretty shocking that a cemetery this size is forgotten. I love how respectful you are with the stones. I could sense your excitement with this discovery! It’s so overgrown it’s hard to tell how many are there. Thank you for taking us on this walk today and I look forward to your next visit there.

Looking forward to your follow up video at this awesome , large cemetery

Very cool man I am new to your channel. So far I have been enjoying it. I was born on tje same day as the first headstone you read at the beginning. Also that person was a freemason. As well I am one too.

Very remarkable finding this in the woods

i like the sound of the leaves and stuff crunching while you guys walk around, good work fellas i hope someone does the same for my grave when its forgotten over time

I am looking forward for the next video(s). Thanks

These places are so sad. I hate to see such wonderful history in such a state of disrepair. But nature reclaims her own swiftly. Thank you for documenting and bringing attention to these wonderful places of history.

Rob, You are doing a good thing. I cant believe someone would let a cemetery get that run down. Especially one with Confederate Soldiers buried. I would help if I was not so dang far away. Regards from Ody Slim BTW, I found that brick!

Can't wait to hear some details about this place. I have so many questions! Do you ever get to find out the history of the towns where these people lived? Thank you for your diligence in documenting these places.

How exciting!!

Im glad you found it and will show us its history

Thank you so much

This place is amazing!
