Reuniting Lost 180 Year Old Cemetery With Family (Major Mitchell Series Part 3)

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

The third and final (for now) installment of the Major Mitchell cemetery series. How amazing was this. We not only located this cemetery, but we traced the brother 60 miles away in Alabama, and then located a living relative and reunited him with family. And that’s not the end of it. David Mitchell is very much into this family history and preserving that history. I can’t give many details at this time, but rest assured preservation like we on Sidestep Adventures have never seen before - nor been a part of before - is coming to this previously forgotten cemetery. I cannot be more proud. PayPal Tip Jar: www.paypal.me/rwrightphotography Special thanks to gas fund contributors: Michelle D. Mary P. And huge shoutout to Robert for support!

This is amazing, this brings this cemetery to life. I hope the team have their chests puffed out, because you deserve to be proud. This reminds me of a family cemetery of my ancestors in TX. They were in the first colony to the territory, and not a whole lot was known of them, it took years to get info. on them, and the cemetery. Finally things started happening, a couple of my cousins living in TX cleaned up the cemetery, and it is now on the Historical registry. You guys just keep getting better, and give us a follow up on this cemetery, in the future. God Bless

[@terryanderson5947]

Why how awesome that his descendant was able to be with y'all. Another awesome video. Thanks Robert.

[@karaspoon]

Sidestep Adventures how exciting!! I’m more then sure this family is ecstatic to have been reunited!! Congratulations to all🎉🎊🎉

[@nancysantamarialatica1141]

So prefect how you place them back together Robert. Took my breathe away And now the familia is here The nephew makes it all Go full circle . See I never finished school(dyslexic ) and this makes me appreciate history being there to the touch I lov history. Wow Fuckn thanks fellas. Wow

[@1927su]

Really interesting videos !! . Amazing to have a relative of the previous family buried there , be there to talk about it. It’s absolutely fascinating!! I sure appreciate the documentation of all this! Question, I was wondering in your explorations, do you ever stumble across any Indian relics , like arrowheads, tools, , burial mounds & the like? Idk much of the history part of the Country , but it looks like you guys really get in the back woods/lost areas, just wondered if your ever stumbles across anything native American. Thank you so much for sharing these explorations & im so glad I stumbled upon your channel! It’s made for a fun afternoon of exploring by proxy lol!

[@hankfacer7098]

Restoration will be awesome. The State should assist in this matter, it is history & MUST NOT be lost. Congrats Robert, job well done.

[@LIBICU812]

The nephew most likely gives us a face to the major.

I was thinking the same thing!

[@libbynester1814]

Me, too. I was just imaging that he probably looked like his Uncle. The nephew was very well spoken.

This is truly amazing. You not only found a lost and forgotten cemetery but managed to reunite that cemetery with family. It is my hope now that you found family they will be able to get help to restore as much as possible this wonderful site. Hopefully in the future it will be recognized as a historical site.

[@BarbDonnelly]

The closest experience you can get, to time travel. Nothing in the world like it. Historic cemeteries are such an important, physical window, that should be preserved for future generations.

[@tacocin]

How many of you guys would love to get in there and help clean this place up? I'm thinking more pieces of the puzzle could be revealed by simply removing all the years of leaves and pine straw. Fascinating project!

[@robertmandigo7942]

I think the boy's head stone would have had a lamb on each of raised sections. I enjoy watching you find and then help clean and restore the head stones of a long lost cemetery. Keep up the great job and the great videos. God bless you and stay safe. The cemetery should be a historic site so it will be cleaned up and restored so people will be able to see it 100 years from now.

[@cclyon]

You're more than likely right. They may be buried under all of the leaves around the graves.

[@gayeyount7948]

Years ago a lot of infants had the lambs or angels on them. I have one brother still born in 1944 who had a beautiful little lamb on his grave. In the early 60s vandals went thru and knocked all the lambs off the infant graves and any that had angels they knocked them off also.

[@dhurley8522]

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

You guys are BEYOND kool and careing.💖🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 I remember my 1st time seeing your channel when you did a Holloween spoof where there was a burned out home. I knew then you guys were special. In today's sometimes seemingly uncaring world some folks would just say to clear out this mess of old headstones, clear and reuse the land. They would say that untill 'they' come and see one of those headstones with 'THEIR' family name (s) on it....Just how would THEY feel then? I'll bet they'd change their minds really fast about distorying 'that' cemetery. Like you, when I'm in a cemetery I think of how EACH headstone tells a story, 'I was once here in this world." Someone cared about them to burry them with love and careing. Time goes by and the folks that once visited those graves, brought them flowers, spoke to them, cried at that site pass away and over time it seems like those burried are forgotten. But you prove that cemeterys like this don't HAVE to be forgotten and they can be fixed up and the folks burried there then won't be forgotten. I believe that there is a heaven and one day you might meet some of the sprites/people that were in cemeterys like this one and they will have a smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes as they thank you for remembering them so lovingly. YOU GUYS ROCK ! 👻🤘💖

[@rte64rte]

Wonderful that there is still family that cares. I often wonder how the cemetery ends up lost or not taken care of. Where do people go.

[@cclyon]

People die, marry, move away. Eventually the memory is lost and it takes someone doing family genealogy or someone like Robert to put the pieces back together.

[@bdavis7801]

I think that sometimes folks don't appreciate just how much we travel and early on too. Your family may have lived in an area for a few generations but they move for work or better opportunities. Also early on folks may not have had much of a marker. Sometimes it was very remote. I only know that one of my Pembroke relatives died in Illinois early because there was a write up about someone finding them and their trunk with the last name on it. The family slowly moved out from NY to IL after that. Occasionally they would stop on the way due to babies or life issues. Maybe they try out an area and decide they want to move on. Before you know it everyone's all spread out from where they started. My paternal Davis family NH>ME>WI>IA. Some of the cousins went to CA for the gold rush and came back to IA. My Shields came to OH for a military land grant. It's easy for folks to get lost in the shuffle. I'll probably never find them all but its fun trying. XD

[@tonynorris1250]

Since the invention of the Interstate system Americans have been a mobile society. When I grew up my Mother was the farthest from home until my Aunt moved to Chicago. I was the only sibling born at home in Alabama on my Grandfather's cotton farm with the rest born in Texas. The mobility of our family remains as I'm the only child who lives in Alabama where my mother is buried with the rest all over from Arizona, Texas, Tennessee and farther. In my younger days I remember "Decoration Day" at the cemetery where my Grandparents are buried. It was a big deal. Nowadays people are so far away and have lives that don't include visitation or decorations. In the "old days," folks just didn't leave "home." My Aunts were always within a few miles of where they were born and grew up and always attended "Decoration Day" for as long as I remember until they too went to their heavenly home and now the cousins that are left are beginning to pass and they too have no one here to decorate or remember them. Sadly, mobile America has in many ways harmed our country more than its helped because family is now a loose term that has very little meaning. Thanks for sharing this with us! We'll be watching! ROLL TIDE! ✝️✝️✝️❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

The Mitchell family was constantly chasing westward expansion. Every time there was a new frontier they would move to it. But that happened commonly back in those days, so that’s why we have so many lost cemeteries here. David, in this video, is a descendant of JCB Mitchell from the Alabama cemetery. That was 70 miles away. Which was a long way for the 1840’s. So add that to 180 years passing, it’s no wonder there are so many lost.

[@dianacreamer9761]

You find so many graves that never are found by family, it is so fascinating to see your efforts have brought these generations together.

I've been out of town so I just watched this video and have not yet seen the prior two videos of this Mitchell series. I'm awestruck! How neat you were able to find a relative who cares! This is valuable to communities, particularly in areas where attrition to family records and photographs is great due to flooding and other natural disasters. You are giving family the opportunity to learn about and honor their ancestors. It is U.S. history because of the military connection, but it is also fascinating regional history. I am fascinated seeing how cemeteries and burials evolved over the years in different places. I love seeing the workmanship on the walls and gravestones. In my travels I stopped at many cemeteries and saw regional differences in burials as well as differences due to age. You guys hit a home run on this one! Thanks so much for doing what you do!

In an unusual move for me (mostly because I was spending way too much time at work!) I decided to wait on these videos until the group was complete. Astonishing and wonderful that you were able to trace Major Mitchell's family over to Alabama and then find a relative who is a fellow history lover! Your team works so hard to give these people names and a story so I'm very very happy that this time it really paid off. There is an introductory video to this trio though. I went and looked it up under 'lost 180 year old grave found in the woods (Masonic grave)'and there was our first quick gaze at the Major's tomb! You weren't prepared to shoot that day but something told you to. I'm glad for the family that you did. Now David Mitchell can make some history of his own.
