Robert u got called out by the guy u showed around the cemetery that had the coke inventor

[@artcflowers]

Someone cleaned the upside down part of that marker.

[@phyllisshieldsjones1482]

If the families of the lost and forgotten graves don't say thank you then let me be the one to say it for them. Thank you for your dedication.

[@ricohernandez9835]

Greetings Robertos it was interesting to see that tombstone upside down greetings✌️🙏🙏🙏👍🙋🏻‍♂️

[@daleyounts3426]

Thank you for honoring these folks!

[@pumpupjam9648]

4 souls lying there, unknown and long forgotten. You discovered them. You make their names and final resting place come alive. I doubt there are more if they were one of the first pioneers down in Georgia.

[@P.B.Theriver]

According to findagrave the cemetery is called the Gates Cemetery. B.H. was the first husband of Patience and Nancy was her mother.

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

thank you for the info. So sad to see these small burial grounds just left unattended, and not cared for. Ever Person needs to be respected and their final resting place respected as well. Glad that Robert Wright and Robert O' Neal are out to film and document as much as they can to try and if not save them, at least document what is left of burial places, so people like Myself, whom has been researching my family genealogy for the past 27 yrs and other like me can still have that documentation.

[@terrirobinson3876]

For some reason I cannot find it.

[@deniseoftedahl8937]

I've added "meet Robert and buy him a steak sandwich" to my bucket list...LOL Great find guys!

[@iFNhU]

Robert you definitely got an eye for this stuff. Sometimes it's scary how good you spot stuff in the woods from the road. Lol

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

I love the banter between the 2 Roberts. Robert Sr. Wanted his dinner first, but as soon as he was out there, he was all business.😊 I've never seen an upside down headstone that big before! Thanks to you three for your kindness to the departed.😊🐝❤

[@marypettitt9150]

This is especially sad, Robert. When you mentioned the settlement year and the many small communities that didn't last, there's no hope of finding kin to tend these abandoned cemeteries.

[@starlawilson4103]

Other Robert...are we there yet....I'm hungry....I need to use the bathroom....lol...road trip with a kid!

[@joyceclark8476]

Good morning, that was definitely not a refrigerator. I’ve never seen an upside down stone before. 176 years ago. WOW 😮. Thanks guys. ARROW *🎱. ❤️. 🇺🇸

[@SpringRiverHollar]

Good job spotting this one Cody . Have a awesome weekend everyone, they go so fast .

[@sharon24leigh]

Wow well spotted 👍👍 it's amazing what you guys find... Thank you Robert, Robert and Cody. Enjoy your meal Robert 👍. Great job 👍...

[@luanncunningham2318]

The other Robert forgot all about that roast and being hungry when he was out checking out the tombstones.😂

[@patriciavincent1198]

Good morning gentlemen. Y’all find the most interesting graveyards. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Please stay safe, and enjoy your dinner. 💜

[@southerndigest8996]

Fascinating! I learned a few things watching this. Thank you!

[@rachelmalkoski4627]

At the 8:29 point, look at the base of the tree between the two grave stones. It looks like the tree is actually growing around a gravestone. And you have a gift in locating these little forgotten cemeteries.

[@jeffjohnson4015]

Crazy the tombstones are upside down and no on noticed ? Crazy. Fun blog, but strange the build modern buildings right next to them . Never miss your blog. I love the comedy team of Robert and Robert ! Take care.

[@ginibeaver5686]

Robert, one of my favorite things is reading old gravestones, as well as looking at old homes and thinking what their lives were like. I never could find anyone to go with me. I hope Cody realizes what a special thing he is experiencing! Wish I was a member of your family to tag along!

[@dorotheawalker7985]

Love it Robert forgot about the roast when he found out it was a graveyard with very old headstones.

[@eileenmurphy5718]

Thinking with his stomach the other Robert, lol. Good eye Robert, amazing find

[@reneeryan4451]

This is one of the coolest places you've shown us. It's an amazing place 🥰

[@dianemac3768]

Interesting find for sure Research would be fun to do.... thanks for the good filming Cody.....

[@alphaone101]

"An old train station a mile down the road?" That would be nice to see and hear the history of it.

[@hy1762]

Agreed.

[@lillypad9960]

Good morning guys. Great find Robert. Other Robert, please pack a lunch, as you never know when Robert is either going to find something of fantastic interest or get you stuck in the mud. Hey to Cody.

[@InLawsAttic]

Love Robert Sr., and you to Robert Jr. Great video, thank you!

[@karencaddle7288]

I have never seen an upside down headstone before. Another great adventure of some very old graves. Thanks!

[@tarapoole156]

This is incredible.. I used to live on Long Island with a house in upstate NY and whenever I would go there over the years I would look for old cemeteries and abandoned houses because the history is so fascinating to me. I moved to south Florida a few years ago and there isn’t much of that around here so your videos make me so happy.

[@brendakrieger7000]

Please feed that man!! 😂 Another fun adventure, thank you very much for sharing💜💟💞

[@kimb4285]

You spotted that one well, what a find, well done for spotting it, really interesting, always come prepared, you work so well together, brilliant find, thank you for sharing, loved seeing the video.

[@tonyahaley6900]

Random graves in a thicket, in the middle of nowhere, just blows my mind. This can't be exclusive to Georgia. The small cemeteries that I now notice, thanks to you, are well tended, at least. Thank you for stopping and saying their names.

[@theresaberger4051]

They are here in SC also. :)

[@kimmyles444]

Robert you are the cemetery whisperer. Who would have thought that was a tombstone from the road? Sad that it is upside down . Maybe someone watching would donate their skills and time to correct it?

[@claracarter3181]

I’m telling you, the older Robert is a trip! I see he had on his old new shirt. Thanks for another great and informative video!

[@janetceniza8091]

WOW, now this was really interesting, folks born over 300 years ago. You are giving a memory to some one's past life again by finding the markers.

[@MillerMeteor74]

It's pretty funny that whoever took the time to stand that big stone back up didn't notice it was upside down. :) Good thinking, of the other Robert, bringing along a pair of loppers. They can really come in handy. Interesting find there.

[@ivanatomasovic3302]

Hallo Robert and friends i love this videos thank you i love the old cemeterrys verry much you are great big love to you from croatia

[@patricialenaburg6553]

Robert II, is always hungry he needs to pack him a lunch. LOL I think that's why he thought that tombstone was a refrigerator, he was having a mirage. LOL

[@frankscarborough1428]

Hello Cody Robert and Robert. Good to see you again Cody. You guys take care enjoyed

[@shellydehart8217]

Yes sir Robert you’ve got a keen eye for finding cemeteries. I love when Rooster the other Robert brings his big clipper n cleans up what he can, thanks, so kind of you. I loved seeing those old buildings in the beginning of video. I’m glad their still standing. ♥️😊👍👍

[@sandrarivera285]

Robert sr was alittle honery guess robert was hungry. LOL but he's always ready for agreat adventure. What a beautiful stack of false crypt site. Can't believe again a cemetery right next to the rd. As always robert look n forward for yur videos n where yur go n to take yur viewers next... Can't wait to see wn u decide to gather acouple of yur friends n tackle what wisteria.... Take care... 🤓💕👍

[@geraldpierini9010]

I have seen all of your videos, but, for some reason this one gave me an emptiness inside. I thought of all the people that have gone and are forgotten. Then, I thought of all the people we pass and meet every day in stores and such that we pay no attention to and in years to come they and we will be laid to rest. And, again, why don't we get their stories why they are still with us. Part of my emptiness I believe was for those who do not knot The LORD and have passed and lost their chance.

[@cathleensteele6808]

I love all the information you guys provide and I am very grateful for the respect you provide for our dearly departed..

[@ronileigh9336]

You guys are awesome I love your passion and that you care and remembrance of the history in each cemetery.

[@texas060]

I love this Cemetery even tho the stone was upside down someone at least cared enough to try an set it back up.i don't even think they saw what they did. Thanks for sharing.

[@esthercoar5464]

As always, your videos are so interesting

[@LestWeForget-LestWeForget]

Would love to also have a tour around that old train depot. If it is the one shown at the start of the video, it looks in remarkably good condition. The land all around there will hold many stories and it would be fascinating to find out more. The etching on the old graves has survived so well.

[@daxxydog5777]

Your videos make me happy. I so enjoy exploring old graveyards.

[@leegoderz83]

Love the channel and content !! Hope your well fella 👍👍 Keep up the good work man 👍👍👍👍

[@raynonabohrer5624]

Great video. I just love how you 2 Roberts talk to You To each other. God-bless youKeep safe. Tell Cody hi.

[@suepato74]

So many people forgotten that you have brought respect to. Thank You

[@billstathakos]

always amazed at the age. imagine the life they lived.

[@greensteelusallc7862]

I love finding old cemeteries an clean their HEADSTONES. I do alot of HEADSTONES CLEANING.

[@janettporter6795]

WOW, just when I thought it couldn't get worse. It did. Interesting. Upside-down. You sure have a good eye Robert. I wouldn't have noticed it, or just would have gone on by. Have a good day. God bless 💖

[@belleange590]

Really pretty view from where you parked. I miss the hills living in northern FL. WOW!! Late 1700's!!

[@marymcguffin9370]

Wow what you can find on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. Great job guys always enjoy your adventures.🚙🔦🔍😎

[@tammy6336]

An interesting fun fact that I was told by a historian was the difference between a graveyard and a cemetery is that a cemetery is a stand alone place for burials and a graveyard yard is situated next to the church for burials.😊

[@mythoughts2221]

I would love road tripping with this group. It would be a true adventure not soon forgotten.

[@valeriealexschiel320]

I love your channel I can't understand why there are so many faded cemetaries

[@TS-bn7zt]

I just wanted to put the obelisk back on the top of the stone!! It would most probably take four guys to lift it though. So near but yet so far. Thanks guys 👍

[@sherronbell4961]

Just incredible,. Amazing video

[@pawprintlove0344]

Awesome find thank you for the Video

[@steve1311]

Great adventure. Thanks.

[@indianagrandmary1298]

Man, the other Robert is hangry today!

[@sallyintucson]

A friend of mine uses that term too. But she’s pregnant so she has a good excuse.

[@AnnaMaria-zm8cv]

my dad is like that too when his bloodsugar gets too low. Impossible to deal with... Its a serious thing, but easy to deal with if you recognise it in people. Always have some snack on you when the hangry lurks around the corner.

[@curtisjohnson1125]

I have seen thousands of Head stones . Broken , laying down , propped up against trees . But never seen one up side down .

[@joannewall5499]

Good find Robert

[@ChrispyMulder]

Hey Robert, I found this site on KZbin about cleaning veterans monuments/stones. It was amazing when he was done. It was D-2 biological solution. He said they use it at Arlington and it doesn’t hurt the stones. Order it from D-2 website.

[@ChrispyMulder]

It was Honor your DNA. He tells you how to use it. And walks you through it. Don’t know price but thought it might interest you like when you went to find the doctors stone with the other Robert. Watch it and see if it encourages you.

[@barbarabooth9824]

Very interesting thank you

[@timothyhill9571]

That's the first I've seen something like that

[@Dav3Campb3ll]

Stand on your head, the other Robert can hold yer legs lol

[@alanatolstad4824]

I don't know how long ago this trip occurred, but you fellas need to keep a grab-n-go kit for all your field trips, so you'll never wish you'd had such-n-such along.

[@cdd4248]

Agree! I think about all the time when I watch this and that kit should have snacks!

[@lindsaymacpherson8782]

Great video and upside down grave intresting Hope other Robert got his feed :) Thankyou for sharing

[@Itiswhatitis55]

You two are a modern day Laurel & Hardy! 🤣

[@An-wk9ml]

THANKS👍😊

[@mcwatersd]

That is an awesome find. Those graves are in relatively good shape considering their age. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤

[@fiorenzaattanasio4796]

Thank you everyone!! Soooo 😄 funny. I love what you all dooooooooo

[@suepato74]

Wow this is amazing!

[@giaatta9303]

Omg. I love the buildings!!

[@jeannettetyler9038]

Went to old cemetery in st Mary's GA this past week very neat

[@tellitlikeitis863]

Which one? Sounds like the one nearest the waterfront don't know the name it's gated

[@shellystine2989]

That was some good upside down reading! 😅

[@jackiewarren2002]

I love these videos ✌️♥️

[@katyareads221]

1950 census shows a 28 year old Patience E. Cox married to a Andrew Cox (Aged 48). And two small children named Thena Gates, aged 6 and a Patience E Gates aged 4. In the same household is a John Johnson aged 50. Both John and Andrew were born in North Carolina and Patience and both children were born in Georgia. On another source it shows Andrew as a second husband. In the census it also shows in another home Benjamin Gates.

[@carolg563]

Robert, will you show us where the Byrd family is buried sometime??

[@anngallegos5515]

Very interesting! My Grandmother was a Cox, but spelling was Coxe. Other relatives from the same line used the spelling Cox.

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

Thank you Robert for stopping , while the other Robert wanted to just go get something to eat, and thanks to the other Robert for taking his fishkers pruning with him to cut back the brush to give more light to those few buried there. Every person is history, and ALL history should continued to be preserved. Noticed that That Other Robert found that green shirt:-(...Hope you had a belly full at the place you all went to eat at>

[@coyotearrowheadhunting3083]

.Increible ese tipo de lugares que quedan en completo abandono a traves del tiempo.

[@helenarubio3371]

Me deja sintiendo triste y quiero saber mas de las vidas de las personas enteraron alli. Pero mas informacion nunca hay. Nunca vamos a saber. Descansen en Paz (DEP)

[@marstall5181]

Good video , the other Robert sure gets hangry lol !!

[@user-randi1987]

That was a nice find. Robert2 I hope someone fed you before the night was over, you sure were crabby. Hope Robert1 and Cody got to eat too, Cody is a growing young man. Needs to be fed, often. Thanks gentlemen, this was interesting.

[@meriajohnfroe4205]

Mr. Robert back in the 1700-1800s’ one finger up wards meant she’s going to Heaven! Modern men are mocking this sign saying it’s ( deceased person is giving men the finger) Ridiculous! Just searched this symbols as in the 1700s it just mean she’s/he’s going to heaven! Just though to mention to you! Love your videos!

[@onemorchatykathy]

That was soooooo interesting!

[@theblacksheep5226]

You all might try bringing a brush cutter out with you. It would sure make it easier to get around and reach hard to get too graves. Keep up the good work!!

[@JulieinGeorgia]

My theory on the upside down tombstone is that maybe the person fixing it may not have been able to read and therefore didn’t realize it was upside down?

[@032319581]

Chuck roast...put in covered pan, add cream of mushroom soup, packet onion soup mix and full can with water and pour over. Cover..350° cook until tender

[@mythoughts2221]

Now you have everyone hungry, Janine.

[@LestWeForget-LestWeForget]

Mouth watering now!

[@pamelasinclair-karney8856]

Mmmm sounds yummy you make me hungry

[@maryh1421]

I have a 2x great grandmother buried in Coweta Co Ga .... somewhere. My guess is it's in an old cemetery like this. Can find no trace of her burial site. She died in the 1880s.

[@susans3266]

Great video. I see the other Robert washed his shirt

[@lisastabfurth5448]

My husband is related to B H Gates wife Patience...6th c 6xr

[@hankfacer7098]

Well, out of the blue, wonderful. do you ever add these type finds to Findagrave or Billiongraves.

[@kevindevane2196]

Good job guys

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Thank you

[@pinkfrog3072]

Good eye Robert, did you just was driving and saw it or did you know about it and was looking for that?

[@liaxavios9476]

The other Robert sounds hangry (hungry and angry)😉
