Robert, have you ever came across any Poole's, Pols, Pool's? I am missing a 3rd great grandfather that was born in GA but I cannot find out anything about him, not even his name. His son was John Madison Poole, born in MS but census stated that his father was born in GA. I have searched find a grave over and over without an results so I hope that maybe he may be in a cemetery that has not been recorded and fingers crossed that you may have or may come across one in the future. :)

[@pauljones8135]

No way to find out how these died

[@SondraD7676]

Nathaniel Boone's Son Eli did move on and settled in Texas and is buried there in the Red Lick Cemetery in Bowie County Texas. He had three sons and three daughters. The daughters passed away in other states but the documentation I found does not five the whereabouts of his sons. This new stone was placed there in 2006 and I am unable to find further information about his great great grandsons at this point in time. Nathaniel married Sarah York in Randolph County, Georgia in 1842. At the time of the Civil War 1864 he was 50 years old and served as an Overseer in the 801st Militia District. He left a sum of money and property at his death to his children. Great finds, Robert! Enjoyed the video! 👍👍❣❣

@@peggyharris3301 She is so funny, charming and witty isn't she (lol)? Love her sense of humor, reminds me so much of "The Other Robert" lol. Especially when talking about the snakes lol. Love to you both Robert and Joy 🙂. I'm on a "Sidestep" marathon today and I'm enjoying every single one of the videos that you've posted so far, Robert 🙂. Thank you for posting these. Also wanted to ask, can you please give an update on how Uncle Ken is doing as well as Cody, we haven't seen nor heard anything about Cody in a super long time. Thanks and take care!!! ♥

[@geoffreyreuther5260]

When you two were talking about why you run into a lot of 46th GA headstones in Talbot and Harris counties, that's a thing with Civil War units in general. Most infantry and cavalry regiments, both Union and Confederate, were raised from volunteers in a small cluster of counties, so it makes sense to find large numbers of specific regiments in specific areas. In the case of the 46th GA, they formed during the spring of 1862 with men from Upson, Schley, Harris, Muscogee, Chattahoochee, Webster, Marion, and Talbot counties.

[@joyfisher2128]

Interesting - thank you for the clarification!

[@Last_Chance.]

Joy is absolutely beautiful.

[@greywebs1944]

I totally agree I always say she's a Joy to watch. Robert and the gang are superb throughout. I have no connection whatsoever with Georgia as I live in England. But the history is quality I love it.

[@cherylschantz9893]

So heartbreaking to see children’s graves. Life was so hard then.

[@cindys.9688]

Oh gosh, I couldn't agree more. As a mom, grandma, aunt, and person who loves kids, I don't think I would've handled losing my little one very well.💔

[@marcbrunson6986]

I love Joy's involvement in Adventures now and love Dan's knowledge all of this time. We are hearing the logging machines in the distance. I am patiently waiting for not-the-remake, not-the-remaster, but the return of the original The Other Robert ha ha. Oh, Joy should probably use The Other Robert's contract for wildlife ha ha.

[@scottbatzler412]

Joy did a good job as a camera woman

[@extex5373]

First let me say that I throughly enjoy watching all of your videos about the forgotten cemetery's and plantations of the old south. The history you discover in these old cemetery's is absolutely amazing. Watching these videos, I can't help but to think about the wealth these people had who once lived in these places. I also think about the poor souls who were enslaved to work in the plantations and what life must have been for them. At one point in time these land owners were wealthy, prominent citizens of their communities. Now they lay forgotten in time, in forgotten places where the elements have taken over there once lavish lands.... Memento Mori

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

Yeah. Death evens the playing field.

[@cindys.9688]

My grandma (dad's mom) found out years ago that Rebecca Boone is her descendant. She's a great-, great-... I don't know how many greats...aunt. If this Nathaniel Boone is really her son then we found an ancestor here on Sidestep Adventures!😁 My grandma was born on a Sioux reservation in the midwest in 1918. She never told us much about her life so I really don't have an inkling as to how Rebecca lived before that. Thank you, Robert! And Joy, too, of course!☺️

[@paigelim4453]

Great job finding all those graves. Joy, I think you did an awesome job filming and keeping up with Robert's humor. Hope you keep filming for him.

[@pezozpezoz]

Very interesting. A lot of veterans from the same regiments. Talented stone masons. 🇦🇺

[@Lorriann63]

Thank you, Robert and Joy, for this great video. I like the way you said someone needed a shout-out today. It's so wonderful that you are willing to go to these overgrown and abandoned places to acknowledge those buried there. I would have loved to see this place before it was let go.

[@carolparrott1994]

I’m with Joy-I would have chosen the briars over the snakes, too. Very brave of you, Joy, to be trusting that Robert is watching your path for snakes! Great camera work, too, despite the conditions. That was very interesting history on the Creeks and the town of Roanoke, too. Great video!

Hello Robert, hope your cold is doing much better.

I was born and raised in Telfair County Georgia Daddy was Albert Louie Holt and Mom Was a Powell . I was taught to use eyes, ears, and smell when out in the woods still have people buried in various cemetaries in Telfair

[@shellydehart8217]

This cemetery seems well preserved. Considering most of the head stones are readable. They don’t look as worn down as many from the I’ve seen. I love many of their epithets. They touch me so deeply. Many thanks to you Robert n Joy. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍🌟

[@cindys.9688]

Those huge cut-out stones are impressive, as are all the others. Trying to picture what the graveyard and community looked like back in its day is awe inspiring. Must've been gorgeous land! Glad you found your friend's family.☺️ Another huge graveyard...wow! Without your documentation these graves would probably never have been known.😢

[@nancyholcombe8030]

Hi Robert and Joy! Thanks for the tour of Holloman Creek cemetery. Truly an old and cool one to be sure! I looked at the name on that large single carved rock headstone you were trying to figure out with two different pieces of equipment. The best I could do was W. D.(?) Alden or Allen. This cemetery is not documented, so I couldn't look it up. You might ought to document it for your friend. Y'all take care of yourself now! May God bless you and yours. 😊

[@susangray1609]

[@MarciaShackelford-st5bt]

Another interesting video. Thanks to your lovely assistant! People get too easily spooked by sounds in the woods. I use to work in them. I would just write off sounds as creaking trees in the wind, a bird, a grouse flushing from the brush, etc. You can't let that stuff bother you. I know you don't Robert. It just causes you to wonder. Keep on trekking!

[@paulhoffman6371]

That is so true, Robert, we grow and move on. Places in time become forgotten stories and lore. Less than 40 miles away and I have not seen my Grand or Great Grand parents' graves since the early 90s. Joy made mention of The Other Robert, how is he doing?

[@tacocin]

Joy: The spanish moss is somehow romantic. Never thought of it that way but it's a great point. In the movie "Gone With the Wind" there was a lot of spanish moss around and there was definitely romance in that movie.

[@joyfisher2128]

It's not easy to convey on video how lovely that cemetery felt but looking up at the tree helped, I think. It's a special place.

[@beverlymorton8332]

Joy, " it looks kind of snakey" while walking thru the cemetary. That was great. I feel you Joy. I wouldn't walk back in those woods unless I had snake proof boots on.

[@Linney321]

Good job filming, Joy. If it's the video from 4 years ago I remember, Robert stepped right over a big rattlesnake, much to the astonishment of the Other Robert and Cody. I'll have to go back and watch it again. Take care out there in the woods you two.

I hope one of the kids will take over the mantle when I get too old to do it.
