Joy, I'm so happy for you, to find these anestors' graves.

[@greywebs1944]

She's a Joy to watch she's come up with some great finds. And to be able to get permission off the owners of the land. Makes it more interesting to follow. It's great team work throughout 👍

[@Lorriann63]

Much respect to you all who are involved with finding and showcasing this family. So many that deserve to be known and acknowledged. You've done a wonderful job, Joy.

[@virginiafox2119]

What a blessing that graves will be marked so future people will know who is here.

[@rhondaz356]

This was very interesting. That must be something, to locate a relative from that many generations back. The landowner is such a thoughtful person. Thank you, for taking us along.👏🏻

[@dolothegreat2019]

That was wonderful and heartwarming, Robert, Mr. Dan, and Joy. And a very special thanks to property owner Roger.

[@bridgetmuehlberger5141]

Very cool! Can’t wait to see the future video of the new memorial at these graves. So wonderful of the landowner to allow access to your ancestors! ❤

[@johngallagher2313]

Very interesting histories. The gracious attitude of the landowner is remarkable.

[@joyfisher2128]

Agreed!

[@paulhoffman6371]

Robert, no matter how much history you explore, there is just one more piece you have to find. I would have liked to hear more about the lore of the witch. I was a little off guard hearing Dan do the intro today and having a Story ancestor helps frame things up is a big plus. Joy's trek to locate her distant ancestors is something I can empathize with after finding my birth family four years ago.

[@andrewowens9382]

[@grumpyadventures3843]

My ears perked up when I heard Joy's grandfather was named Jesse Storey. I had a great-granduncle named Jesse Story (no "e"). His family was from the Story Community which was located near Acworth, GA in Cobb County. This was mid to late 1800s. Had to wonder if they were somehow related.

[@joyfisher2128]

Hmm, that's interesting. I grew up in Marietta. I bet there is some connection.

[@bethbartlett5692]

Make sure Robert sees your comment. I suggest that you: "Put a Copy in reply to his Pinned comment, up top." Really Interesting!

Great continuation of a family's story. It is rare to have the descendants together and to actually locate graves so many generations back. Also, for someone to care enough to find them and be interested in their life story. In this case, the Storys sir name. Wonderful, Mr. Story and Joy. Love the feature, Robert. 👍👍❣️❣️

Back in the 70s and early 80s we knew a family of Storeys up in western Morris County, NJ, near Warren County. It was interesting to hear that name again. Very interesting old cemetery up there, and it's great the landowner allows family members access at any time.

[@joyfisher2128]

Jesse's father and family came to Talbot from Warren County. Bet there's a connection there somewhere!

[@MillerMeteor74]

@@joyfisher2128 I find it interesting that they came from Warren County, Georgia, while ours lived near Warren County, New Jersey. I never knew any of their family history though. Maybe there is a connection.

[@BackyardHistoryYT]

Amazing location. Looks so peaceful!

[@sandysue202]

Very neat history of this family. I'm so glad that Joy has found the burial place of her 4th great grandfather and his wife. I cant help but be curious about their daughter who is buried beside her parents. I wonder what caused her to possibly be thought of as a witch? Maybe she was just a little "different" and the townspeople blamed her for happenings that she had nothing to do with. This was a great video, Robert, Dan and Joy! ❤

[@jillgebauer1292]

History in itself is so fascinating!

[@mtgcardzandreview2756]

I have always been interested in history and took a few too many classes in college that were not needed to graduate with my non-history degree. However once of this channel I've enjoyed watching the trek through the area and the history. In fact, I have traced generations of Patton's on my father's side across the east, south and southeast of the US and the rest of the USA. Including a Mathew Patton of Wilkes, Georgia. While another Samuel Patton of Oglethorpe, Georgia is buried. I am sure there's a few more in the GA area, as there's others found in VA, AR, NC, KY as well.

So happy for Joy to have found her ancestors, her 4th time grandfather. I’m sure she feels much sentimental feelings. That has to be such a honor. And yes, that will be a special day when she can place a monument at their grave site. I have much envy for those who have some history n knowledge of they descendants. I have no one left to even ask a little information about my family tree. I do remember seeing where my mother’s mother grave site in Alabama but I don’t remember what county we were at. Enjoyed this so much. How I love hearing about others history. ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟👍

My mother's family in Taylor county are McDaniels. I wonder if there is a McDaniel/Storey connection with my family?

[@joyfisher2128]

My dad's side the Kersey's are in Taylor County near Mauk. Who are the McDaniel's you are thinking of in Taylor. I think I may know the group and there is a distant DNA connection between the Waverly Hall area "county-line" McDaniel's and those. If you give me some names I can see if I can confirm that.

[@vickiegordon1959]

@@joyfisher2128 My grandparents were Thomas Hoke McDaniel and Hazel McDaniel. They lived in Reynolds Ga.

[@joyfisher2128]

@@vickiegordon1959 I would need to go farther back with your grandparents to confirm the connection but my thinking is that your Hoke and Hazel McDaniel are likely connected to the "Carsonville" McDaniels. Carsonville was originally part of Talbot County but in 1852 it became located in Taylor County when that county was formed. This area had "an early Methodist society" according to "A Rockaway In Talbot v.4" (Davidson). "The Methodist Episcopal Church at Carsonville stood on the land when one acre was deeded to the trustees of the church April 6, 1842 by Robert Carson, part of Land Lot No. 131, 24th Land District, and known as Carsonville Methodist Episcopal Church."(p.189) One of the trustees named in this indenture was Howell Short. His brother in law was Harris M. McDaniel (b.1809). Howell and his brother John Short married Harris M. McDaniel's sisters (Sarah and Mary McDaniel, respectively). Harris M. McDaniel's parents were William D./O. McDaniel (b. 1787 NC) and Dorothy "Dolly" Harris (b. 1787 NC). You have to go back further in time to Harris McDaniel's 3rd or 4th great grandparents to find the shared ancestor with the "Waverly Hall" McDaniel's but the DNA does prove it. That Carsonville, Talbot/Taylor location is what makes me suspect you are connected to the William & Harris McDaniel line. You'll have to let me know if any of these names are familiar. Good luck in your research!

I have been to Rome and studied at Oxford for a quarter during college. To live and work in those ancient buildings was magical. It's harder to get folks here not to want to raze everything and start over. I wish we protected more of our history than we often do. And the difference just between the East Coast (older) and West Coast (newer) is even more stark. It's interesting the differences in what cultures value.
