And for the next couple hundreds of years of generation after us and they dig whatever is left and say what's going on here we don't have any information everything was swept under the rug even if it was good or bad so what are we looking at knowing this is American history know we need to know this now and we need to is Now! 🇺🇲

Stone lined, it amazes me the many different burial methods that you have rum across and featured. The method tells a story in itself - love, care, wealthy, poor, resources, memorial, religion, and traditions - a sign of the times. This cemetery, assume no relation to you, Robert?

Lots of tender loving care went into making that grave. Like Dan, I thought it was brick work until he noted otherwise. I wonder if it was family/friends who made it, or "professionals".🤔 I really enjoy how you discover old homesites! You know what markers to look for. Thankfully those markers are still there and identifiable. I wish I would've grown up around there when I was a kid. I'da had a blast! We lived across from fields (in Oregon) and I liked to explore as best as I could. I played in the irrigation ditch next to our house - when it was empty and dry, of course. Great memories! Then we moved to the suburbs in California. And here I've stayed.😕 Your daughter is so fortunate to get to grow up like her dad did, in the country, lots of local history, wide open spaces, and empty roads to drive on. It's neat that you can tell from the road that this grave was nicely walled. I try to imagine what it looked like back in the day and it must've been magnificent. Especially with the other graves visible. Interesting that the cemetery isn't on record. I wonder if back then they didn't have to legally register a family plot. Wonder if there were guidelines, like if fewer than, I don't know, 10 people were buried on the family property they didn't have to register it. That wouldn't work today. It's illegal to bury just one person on property you own! Imagine trying to explain 10 people on your property..."I'm sorry, officer, but I'm simply starting a family cemetery." LOL! 😆 Sorry! Anyway, you hit the nail on the head 🎯 when you said that graverobbing has gone on since the beginning of time. Egyptian kings and queens weren't safe from it. Just makes me wonder what in the blazes made them want to steal "this" body so long ago. Did they get money for it? What was so important to them? We may never know. Thanks to you and Dan for taking us out there. It was quite enjoyable! Take care!☺️

I accidentally busted up a grave of a British soldier who died in the revolutionary War. Really upset me but I had to look in some weird grotesque morbid way. There was only one upper femur bone the joint part, and a piece of skull about the size of a silver dollar, coins, knife and a gold ring. I immediately reported it to the church and they fixed it up. The guy who was helping me take care of the cemetery landscaping kept the knife, coins and the ring. It's always bothered me that he kept those items and I never reported him. I still feel like I'm a bad person for not reporting him stealing those items from that young British fellow who died in a foreign country centuries ago.

Prior to 1870.. 1880 a lot of graves just had wooden markers…out here in the Midwest anyway

What are they wanting to steal? The casket, the clothes, what are they looking for? I would presume people did not bury jewelry.

Why in the heck would someone want to steal from the dead? Were they buried with jewelry???

It amazes me how anyone could rob a grave. So disrespectful.

I realize the robbing is part of the history. Would it be respectful for the person there to put the dirt back in the grave? Do you think the body is still buried there? If you moved the dirt from the sides in order to try to identify the grave, then put it right back where it was, would that be feasible? Just spitballing some ideas.

You should bring a rake and a trowel to avoid the snakes. You both did a great job!

I didn't realize that they walled graves in rick back then, they took great care in burying their loved ones, its a shame that they have been forgotten for so long. My dad registered and protected our family graveyard with the government and made it a protected Native American burial ground, as it is rightfully so

Incredible video. Glad the gods told me to watch the previous video last night. Hope the dolt who desegregated that grave got his karma in life

It very well could be that the graves were marked with wooden grave markers that many farms and homesteaders used.

I find grave robbing/desecration..deeply disturbing...what type of individual could do such a heinous act? Very sad indeed. I appreciate what y'all do..

Robert when you are doing records research be sure to go to...1. the nearest county seat (even if not "the" said county). 2. "The" original county way beck when. 3. The most resent county. I have located pertinent records over 100 miles from the expected county seat.
