That's pretty awesome!! I love when U do the history to the places U all visit!! Hope U and Robert 2 and Cody are having a good week so far!! Can't wait to see MORE of these cemetery finds and what other goodies U have yet to find at the Bryd house!! Is that a farm house or wld U call it a plantation house?? Lovin the videos while stuck inside for sure!! Always look forward to Robert n Robert n Cody adventures with coffee in the morning!! Lol have a good 1 y'all!!

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

@@SimplyRochelleParanormal It’d just be a farm house. It’s post-Civil War so not a plantation house in that sense. The Byrd’s did own a store that was named “Byrd and (name I forget) Plantation Supplies”

[@SimplyRochelleParanormal]

@@AdventuresIntoHistory I was jus curious to know if the farm had a " Proper" title or not. It always amazes me to see the insides of these big mansions, that have jus been left to go to nature for whatever reasons. I go from 1 extreme to another with MY idea of what type of house I'd love to have , I've always had a love for OLD and my Dad having the passion he did for restoring old wood furniture and houses.... His love for all things WOOD runs deep with me as WELL lol and I'd absolutely LOVE to be able to have a find like the Byrd house to redo. BUT I'm torn due to developing MY love for designing my own TINY house and designing it to look like a MINI version of a house like THAT! Lol and having the modern flare to the inside... Lol the struggle is Real!! Thanks for Ur time Robert!! Enjoy ur day!!

[@joannewinter7879]

Thankyou for another excellent video. 🙂❤👍

[@ToddEWalnuts]

That’s a nice find, and excellent information to tie up the loose ends. Well done man 👏. I love these graveyard detective type videos. Your extra research is the cherry on top. Grandpa always said if you’re going to tell a story, make sure you get as much info as possible 😁

Compared to the humble rock tombs, that brick one is indeed quite pretentious. Super interesting history! I can't get enough of this! Best video channel ever!!!

Very interesting Robert! Love that you search for these graves and keep their history going when alot have forgotten these cemetery's

[@laurenweisse9858]

The Pretentious brick structure resembled a fireplace! To me..such interesting finds! Thank you Robert 😊and the fieldstone structures are truly mysterious!it's good to know georgia had some democrats way back then!!!!love from VT!!

[@jeffjohnson4015]

What a great informative video, we love watching your blogs we learn so much about the history of the people that were here before. Wow that was amazing that that grave site was from 1790 and that all the information that you found on this individual. Can't wait to see your next video

[@ot1402]

Totally interesting and so fascinating. If they had of taught the kind of history in school, I may have got a B not a F. I love your channel.

Nice that you could give us some history behind a grave. Too many times we here just names but this gives an idea of the life of the deceased. Appreciative.

[@dianehellmann4303]

Very good job on this video.

[@ellietobe]

I love to hear the history about these long forgotten people who helped to found the areas that we now live in or may just drive past. Court houses that have not suffered fires over the years can contain a lot of historical information. Good historians who have taken the time to document some of what happened during their day are good sources of information in our libraries. Most KZbinrs do not bother to look anything up unfortunately.

[@dscobellusa]

Great stories and gravesite. Thanks 👍

[@RealityCheckGA]

My family has been in Georgia since the 1820s . And the cemetery they are in has graves from the 1700s. Cherokee County was still Indian Country when they first lived there. Visit the Hickory Flat Historical Cemetery. And the Canton Cemetary up behind the old courthouse.

[@prime63829]

Appreciate you bringing light to this bit of history.

[@dianemac3768]

love when history is added to a grave......

[@pameladawson4081]

Is the Bryd House called a "Queen Anne" style? To me, it looks like it. On "This Old House" they have been working on an 1874 (?) house with a similar style in Rhode Island. I have been imagining how beautiful the Byrd House must have looked. What kind of roofing material would have been used? It's metal now, but was it metal in the 1800's? Thank you for the videos. Good health to you and your family and friends...

[@SimplyRochelleParanormal]

Such neat findings with Side Step adventures!! Love to hear the history of the different people and the surroundings up there!! I need to make a visit to my daughter and her me my youngest daughter an the 4 grand babies and make some "Side Step adventures" of our own lol I never realized how much history was around those parts!! My daughter lives in Calhoun city not county lol didn't even know there was the 2 different places till I had asked her about her area not to long ago!! All I knew about GA. was it's the longest state in the US to drive thru on ur way to Florida, that wld be where I've lived since 03' coming from Indiana ♥️ but originally from Cincinnati, OH. Hope all is having a good week!! Love FRM the Sunshine State!! ♥️♥️🌴🌴♥️♥️

[@lindalewis5066]

Great history on that grave. Interesting.

[@mythoughts2221]

Robert, do you think that rock grave style is something of that time period and could be found throughout all the settled states and western territories for the time period or do you think that is a style exclusively for Georgia and immediate surrounding states? I find it fascinating and sort of tied to the period and materials available. If it were not for Sidestep Adventures into old cemeteries, I don't think I would have ever seen one. Thanks for sharing that with us and the history of George Carter.

Maybe he was walking with his musket barrel and bayonet pointed in the air which attracted the lightning.

[@kpsaxon1]

WOW great fascinating research 🙏✔

[@Sister325]

2:11 that is an usually large single rock slab.

[@alanatolstad4824]

One of your subscribers last year commented on those rock tombs possibly having been built during the winter when the ground was too hard to dig. Coming from North Dakota, I've been told that no winter burials are dug. So, my family members were kept safe until spring to bury. Now, whenever I see the above ground tombs on your trips, I wonder too, if those folks died in winter and there was no no other recourse.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

The burials are still underground generally speaking with the rock tombs, and of course with no dates or names generally we’re left to wonder. I recently saw a picture of a holding vault from the late 1800’s where bodies were stored in the winter before burial. Pretty fascinating. That wasn’t in Georgia tho.

My great grandfather, John Lafayette Keith was killed in a tornado that injured his younger sons while on the road moving 1/4/1907 outside Stigler, Oklahoma. Sad business that I read about in the Stigler newspaper of that time. His first wife, my great grandmother, was killed by an icy branch falling on her in an ice storm years earlier.

[@raynonabohrer5624]

The Hiner family was in that Tornado. This was my husband family. They lost all home barn. Live estock.

The crow caw at the end gave me a shiver. It's been said that a crow caw in a graveyard means a spirit is near. Maybe the spirits of the settlers came by to listen to you read about them?
