Sorry. Going to a meeting. 😂Yes, old cemeteries. A huge old colonial era cemetery was right outside our house in New Hampshire. It was great and a little creepy I also love all your old buildings and everything else you do. I also drove around the countryside outside New Orleans looking at old cemeteries and with that Spanish moss and fog, it sometimes scared the hell out of me. You guys are much more brave! Ty for videos. 👏🏻🤗

Terri Whitaker I’m glad. That is one of the main reasons I do this channel... to document places, things, even cemeteries, before they are lost to time.

its so refreshing to see a channel that shows confederate graves and sites respectfully and you really do great vids all around I'm thankful I found yall

Thank you gentlemen for taking us along.🇺🇸

I stumbled on your channel and I have to say that your cemetery wanderings in particular, are the best I’ve seen on You Tube. The way you meander among the stones (respectfully) while articulately pointing out interesting details, makes the videos extra special. I really hope you’ve got more in store for us. Thank you.

The best place to find your history is in an old graveyard great job guys

There’s something beautiful about old cemeteries

This guy was so excited. How fun. A lot of history.

I have never seen a cemetery like that w all brick. bitter sweet video!

You guys have shown us so many old cemeteries that are overgrown, with fallen headstones, almost forgotten by time. While I am happy to see the Ft. Mitchell Cemetery is so well cared for, it seems it is almost by chance that someone chose it to care for. Keep showing us the forgotten cemeteries, anyway. Every old cemetery you show us in a video creates an opportunity for someone to care for it. Thank you!

Look up The Old Burying Ground in Beaufort NC.... talk about old..... many were 1th and 18th century. Many were pirates and ppl lost on shore... frozen military officers one little girl at 10 went to sea with father to England... She died from yellow fever and was placed in a barrel of rum.. To keep her so she would make it home instead of a burial at sea. He grave is always covered in toys gum, money.... very sweet.

Madison Ga. What a beautiful place to be from. I love to see some of these old cemeteries. I am sure that each landowner had on their property a family grave. All others were either buried by the church .I just love the civil war cemeteries and the old fort site. I just can't get enough of civil war history

It gave me chills when you started naming off the names on the gravestones... I'm a Cummings and I'm from Georgia although I don't think I'm any relation to the names in question....my dad's family is from Missouri

thank you for Sharing I always Enjoy learning about the History of those Cemeteries Very sad that lots of them are Neglected

Thomas E Burnside (Killed in a duel) "On January 25, 1828, Thomas Edgehill urnside, an uncle of the Union Genral Amrose E. Burnside, was killed by George Walker Crawford in an 'affair of honor' involing an insult to Crawford's father published anonymously in an Augusta newspaper. Though not the author, Burnside, a promising young lawyer, assumed responsibility. He was buried in the Crowell Cemetery at Fot Mitchell and Crawford, who was Georgia's atrorney general at the time, went on to become goernonr."

My latest head is beautiful large, he has an upside down V mouth, and what looks like a cleft palate at the tip!!!!

4:49 Have no fear, the bodies were buried deep underground so all they saw when they busted the slab was the top of a mound of dirt. But they never should have destroyed the tomb. Those are called "box-type" tombs.

This is wonderful history you all are doing. Looked up the duel and Crawford was (not at that time, Gov. Of Georgia) solicitor general in Georgia and T Burnside was a congressman in Georgia. Awesome history there.

My step dad.. K.Cummings. was a great man. Don't know alot about his family. I found this to be a goid video. Like many of your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Some of you might have heard about the homeless man that was hit by a car in Griffin an died around April 10th. Well turns out Mr. Thomas Cummings was a Vietnam War veteran. It appears he has no family at all. So now we have an unclaimed veteran. Luckily the funeral home was able to verify his service records. So he will be able to be buried with the military honors he deserves. His funeral will be held this Thursday at 11am graveside at oak Hill Cemetery in Griffin. Anyone's free to pay their respects. Hopefully, there's a few local veterans that are free an available to go see their brother home.

I know that 4 years have passed but I always scan the comments and just read your touching story of Mr. Thomas Cummings. I hope his funeral was attended and that there might even be a grave marker for this Vietnam Veteran. He gave service to his country and deserves recognition - even if it’s only here. Today is still Thanksgiving Day 2023 - I think about things like that. Thank you also for your posting this story.

Cantey are my ancestors! Half the family left South Carolina and headed to Alabama. Deas family too.

I was wondering where in terms of the GA- FL border are the first cemeteries you visited in this video that were next to each other? That style of grave cover on so many of the graves is much like those of where my family lived since the early 1830s in very northern FL. I also like the way you read the graves' names & dates as I'm always on the look out for ancestors' graves when we don't know where they were buried. I'm sure you are connecting some people to long lost graves of ancestors & maybe one day you will come across some of mine...I'll keep watching if for nothing else but walking through the woods without me actually getting out in the cold & damp or the heat & mosquitoes! Just one request..please do what you do safely!

" There are many reasons why this particular duel deserves our attention at the time at hand. First, it coincides with the exact year of Columbus' founding and recently a monument was placed on the heretofore unmarked grave of the gentlemen who went down in the defense of honor, as was the custom of the day. The erection of the marker is largely the work of Clara Owens Mihalko, whose family roots go back to the founding of Russell County and some member of her family has always lived close to the dueling ground site. Then too, the story brings back that terrible time in our chronicles when it was expected of the gentry to defend one's honor with his very life, no matter how insignificant the cause. No affray of the type could have been more pointless and tragic than the Crawford-Burnside duel fought at Fort Mitchell on January 5, 1828. Not many Southern women amused themselves by writing editorials in that period of our history. Yet it was just such an incident that provoked the duel. Georgia at that time was ruled by political factions, the dominant of which was headed by its illustrous Crawford Family. The writer who until this day remains nameless, presented to the newspapers in the Augusta area a letter highly critical of the ageing Peter Crawford. As was the custom, Peter Crawford's young son, George elected to defend his father's honor. Upon confronting the editors in question they refused to give the source of the attack, because the writer was a woman, and Southern chivalry made no allowance for a woman to be identified in an improper situation. George Crawford continued his demands, however, and another politically ambitious young gentleman, Thomas Burnside - with no small amount of urging from the politically powerful newspapers - decided to defend the nameless writer of the article. It is especially tragic, and difficult for a civilized mind of the late 20th century to appreciate, that the two young men, on which customs placed such a burden, were good friends. Their mutual friends tried to make amends, but the times were such that failure to carry out the duel would have ruined both politically, to say nothing of what society of the day deemed honor. Thus it was that a time and place was set for a senseless and fatal confrontation of two of Georgia's finest young men. One to die and the other to go through life with his "victory" as a plague that would not leave him. Because Georgia had outlawed duelling, and because of Crawford's and Burnside's station in its governmental affairs. (Crawford was Attorney General for the state while Burnside served in the General Assembly), Fort Mitchell was chosen. Fort Mitchell was in the Creek Nation, yet to become a part of the new State of Alabama. In addition to the Fort, it was the site of the Federal Agency to the Indians. Although duelling was still common in Georgia,for such promment men to escape the penalties of the law, it was necessary to have the affair outside of the state. Fort Mitchell was erected in 1813, "to protect the frontier," a function it served until 1837. A stockade "mound," the fort was situated on the Federal Road. Therefore, many famous personages passed: such as Aaron Burr, Francis Scott Key and the Marquis de Lafayette on his post-Revolution - three years before Columbus was founded - parade through the United States. The former capital, of the Creek Confederacy, Coweta, was near by and it is here that General James Oglethorpe signed a peace treaty with the Indians in 1739. The two men left their grieving wives and children by separate coaches for the trip to Fort Mitchell. They met, however, at an inn en route and joined company in a single conveyance for the remainder of the trip. Here they talked together pleasantly, even affably, and other members of the party were heartened that their differences would be settled before they arrived at their chosen grounds. This was not to be, for on the night before the scheduled fight, Tom Burnside, thinking of his family, took out pen and started a note remarkable for its simplicity in a day of effusive letters. The finished note read as follows: "Dear wife and mother: Tomorrow I fight. I do it on principle. Whatever may be my fate. I believe I am right. On this ground I have acted and will act. I believe I shall succeed, but if I do not I am prepared for the consequences. Kiss the children and tell them if I fall that my last thought was of them." Early the next morning the two men faced each other in silence. A crowd of white men and Indians stood nearby. The rules were set. "The word rang out, two shots cracked and neither reached its target. Burnside's struck the earth just before Crawford, scattering dirt over him; politely he apologized," records one source. A friend of Burnside's who had recently survived a duel, walked between them filled with the hope that further action could be avoided. It was ascertained that if Burnside apologized, Crawford would accept. "Burnside shook his head, and again they fied and neither scored." "Once more the anxious friend intervened, more earnestly than ever, and again he failed." Again the parties took their place and fired the third time. As the noise lifted, Burnside "cried and fell back into his friend's arms. He died at once, and quietly Attorney General Crawford withdrew." Perplexity filled the air. They were six to seven days away from Augusta, so it was necessary to bury Thomas Burnside at Fort Mitchell, where, until just recently, the only marker for the period between was for some years a cedar tree. In due time his widow was notified and "she collapsed in hysteria." In later years in an effort to remove some of the grief, she moved away. George Crawford rose to be Governor of Georgia, then Secretary of War in the administration of President Zachary Taylor, congressman and presided over the Ga. Secession Convention in 1861. Yet he remembered always with grief what he had done to the Burnside family. "From a distance he inquired regularly about them, and employed friends to help them. They knew only that the assistance came from 'a friend of Tom's." "The lady editorialist? She confined herself to her sewing basket." This was not to be the last duel fought at Fort Mitchell, but as time moved on such a senseless activity subsided until it is almost unheard of amonst civilized people. As to Fort Mitchell and the duelling grounds, they no longer have the presence of the soldiers and the Indians. Yet the spots are known and more than one has felt the sublime stillness that pervades the air. Tom Burnside lies next to the final resting place of Colonel John Crowell. Alabama's first Congressman and Indian Agent. Col. Crowell was to join him at this spot some 18 years after he witnessed Burnside's death. "

So often we see that something happened in a place that involved people of the time. But not so often we get to, at least mentally, go back in time for a witness of the people involved, their relationships, their day to day lives. Not often enough do we get to see the past live again for a short time. For some there is such documentation, but for the vast majority, hazy imagination is all we have. Thank you for this window to the past.
