    Thank you!! David just added another link to my tree! It isn’t by blood but by marriage but I loved James Robert Hogg as much as if he had been blood! He married my mother’s older sister, Rena. He was the son of Zachary Taylor Hogg and Frances Allen Hogg. He had a brother Euclitus Hogg who died as a baby. I always wondered about where that name came from! Robert, I love your channel and you have visited cemeteries I have been to. Keep it up! I keep hoping you will find some of my “missing” ancestor graves!!

    Inserting the photographs is such a wonderful touch of historic reality. Names, stories, and the actual face of a person, and/or place makes the stories come to life. The Confederate soldier, Mr. Lucas photo, especially great and the story behind it. Personally, the amazing result of being a part of Adventures In History is that I know more about Georgia, Harris County, surrounding area and it's local and national impact, than I know about any other place on earth.

    I too am learning lots of your history, thanks Robert. I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 and American history wasn’t anything I learned at school. I think the movie “Gone with the Wind “ was most of my knowledge as a child. Mr. Dan fascinates me with the amount of history he has stored in his head. Thank you both for your continued lessons. I saw Matthew Broderick on “Who do you think you are “ and he discovered a Confederate soldier, his great grandfather (maybe 2 times I forget) they showed the cemetery where they were all buried. Fascinating stuff

    Thanks to watching your videos, I may have found a piece of a puzzle. Many years ago, my son found a gravestone in a creek in the woods next to my sister's home in rural TN. The local historian said there are many graves where family members buried people on their own property in the area back in the 1700 & 1800s. I did notice there is only one evergreen in that whole area where the headstone was found, about 30 yards upstream & 10 yards up hill from the creek. There is an indention in the ground by the evergreen, but too big for a grave, maybe 8x10 yards. What do think? Am I on to something?

    Well, I pretty much filmed the whole cemetery here… so. If you’re asking about Union graves, no. You won’t find those in cemeteries around here, with a few exceptions. Remember, these people fought for the states they were from/lived in. So after the war they went home. Union soldiers went to their Union states. Confederate soldiers went to their states. If you’re talking about post-War, then we have filmed many US Veterans markers
