The way Dan tells about the history feels personal at times. Like he was there. His words, demeanor and tone is perfect for this stuff. Like your literally getting a first hand account from someone who witnessed it.

[@thepetesmith]

Kind of like Shelby Foote

[@ssshhclos405]

Yup 👍 totally agree

[@BackyardHistoryYT]

I love listening to Mr Dan. Could listen to him for hours.

[@bettyboop4263]

I could listen to Mr. Dan talk all day. He certainly knows the history of the area. Too bad someone can't repair the grave stones and clean up a little bit.

[@cemeterrihaynes4435]

I LOVE when you have Dan with you. Such a bundle of knowledge,a very good storyteller and a valuable historian. But I really appreciate the way you always read the gravestones out loud now too. You have become a very valuable asset to the genealogical world.

[@nadiabrook7871]

Dan is an AMAZING story teller!! I could listen to him all day!! XXXX

[@mrspankytank2858]

Y’all really Need a drone with a good camera. Mainly for surveying areas from above. Just by being able to see geographical formations from above will help you find certain locations. You could literally be standing where a home was and not really know unless you were able to see it from an above view and plus it could be fun scouting locations from above looking for certain indicators that say humans were around that area.

[@andrewowens9382]

Hi Robert and Dan I don't blame the hall family picking the place to be buried at it seems so peaceful and quiet all the best Andrew south wales 🇬🇧 😀 👍

[@mrrs8118]

Interesting. I appreciate the respect you and Mr Dan show for those long gone. Every life has a story.

[@mattieb7348]

Very cool. Loved hearing the birds singing. I wonder what they were saying. I doubt that they see humans very often...well, not the living kind. Such a peaceful location. Thank you for sharing!

[@beretta1342000]

I looked up online. The halls had six children who all lived to adult hood. Some our buried in the Matthews chapel cemetery I think it said..

[@elakay4397]

I'm glad they put a fence around their graves. You 2 guys are so respectful. God bless 💝🙋‍♀️😘

[@amywright2243]

I hope to never be lost in the woods, but if I'm with my sweetheart, I won't ever be lost. Thanks for another great history lesson!

[@SondraD7676]

Awesome, more of the Rough Edge area. That book looks like it has great descriptions and information. A new place to Dan, that is surprising. With the clear cutting and the strange fence line, very mysterious. This is where it would be great to have a drone to fly over the clear cut area, and back to the fence line - for shots and whatever discoveries could be made. But, I know, not enough hours in the day, correct? This was a bonus episode today. I enjoyed it!! ❣️👍👍

[@sandysue202]

I thought about a drone, too. Especially in the winter and early spring before all the vegetation gets going strong. But, they are expensive and there is a learning curve to them to accomplish their use. This was a great video!

[@SondraD7676]

@@sandysue202👍Yes, the FAA classes that are required and testing are time consuming. The expense is secondary when a person's schedule is so full. 👍

[@user-randi1987]

Very sad, these headstones have layed in the dirt since at least the 1960s and no one has tried to right them. Guess that happens with no family

[@tucsonbubba1574]

I love watching your adventures. It's amazing how many cemeteries are lost and forgotten...but not completely...you found it!

[@danielcain1003]

Noting the era, is it possible that the rock walled cemetery was used for the enslaved as there are no marked graves?

[@J.RO.]

Hello fellows my wife and I were just in Waverly hall exploring yesterday such a beautiful area... We live in north east Ga. Really like y'alls vids....

[@ricknelson576]

Thank you R an D. As time passes the earth reclaims its property.

[@alanatolstad4824]

Always a sad pleasure to tag along. And love to hear the birdsong keeping company for those lost to time.

[@TS-bn7zt]

Thank you guys, so good to see that the Halls still have that old wrought iron fence still intact . Incredible when you think about it. It would be good if you could cut those sapling trees that are growing inside the fence as they will ultimately destroy the Halls resting place in time.👍

[@dianeburnejko2908]

Glad you found the Hall's graves. Such a peaceful final resting place. The book is a wealth of information. Maybe a drone could help. A very sad feeling in those woods. Another great video Robert.

[@yarnhappykim9294]

Thank you for sharing the history of this amazing family and please be safe out there and God bless you and your family and friends

[@aceofspadess4945]

My guess is, Mr and Mrs Hall made space for kids and grandchildren they never had. Sad, but it happens.

[@barbaraaunan6556]

M.p0p moo by CRT saw

[@maryohare4141]

Also curious why husband and wife headstones are not buried closer, next to each other, instead on opposite sides??

[@sharonbaulch]

Dan I wish you had been my history teacher as I would of paid better attention. You have a way of making history come alive. Keep up the travelling as we all learn along with you.

[@martinmarsola6477]

Thank you the your. RIP those folks!

[@donnaoglesby1278]

I have a LOT of Hall Families in my own genealogy, from my grandmother's side [ my father's mother ] and also have Hall family on my half brother's father's side of the family, coming mainly form Kentucky area. Makes me wonder IF some of the Georgia Halls, were related, since my father's mother side moved form Kentucky, to parts of Indiana, and Missouri, but a lot stayed around the Kentucky area as well. Interesting. Thank you and Dan both for sharing.

[@zekesgirl100]

I also have Halls, my great grandfather was William Allen Hall of Indiana.

[@annettegraff8323]

These side trips are always interesting. More questions than answers .

[@En_Marche]

So removed in space & time, yet a very present reminder.

[@forecon11]

Robert I found the plat for that grave site, and yes it is 1 acres for just that purpose in the county courthouse. Let me know if you want more info.

[@mcwatersd]

I hope you come across the other Cemetery sometime in the future; be it by accident. I love listening to the history . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

[@ivanatomasovic3302]

Hi Robert and friends love your videos and your investigations and old historry thank you for that love from Croatia

[@lisatoronto7265]

Such beautiful stones, the family cared for them deeply. That is high quality stone work as well as the wrought iron fence.

[@frankscarborough1428]

Enjoyed thanks Robert and Dan

[@jenniferkirk7113]

I have been watching your videos since December- I love these stories about the hidden or forgotten history of people long gone. Thanks for finding them and bringing them out so that more people can learn from them. Keep up the great work!!

[@nanslife]

I love your channel, the history documents could watch you all day..

[@helenarubio3371]

Hopefully, 1 day you can get to the other cemetery.

[@Hardware952]

The wife and I really enjoy watching your channel. We call it Leaf Crunch Adventures lol

[@libbyowens2321]

Please get a bag for every vehicle you drive that has the tools you need ! I do so enjoy listening to you , very interesting.

[@larrysmith6499]

Breaks my heart the graves are not kept up

[@jen8491]

Great video Robert 👍. It would be awesome to find the other cemetery.

[@BeccahMitten]

I want to see drone footage of Rough Edge. I think that would be very interesting.

[@jeannettetyler9038]

I look forward to Sunday and you and Dan

[@greghall1307]

Our family is from Georgia. Could be some kin.

[@Regina0964]

That would be cool to find out, you have your work cut out, maybe your local library or court house will start you on your finds.. hugs from wisconsin

[@Regina0964]

Robert, what an absolutely beautiful area, when i die i would love to be buried under those big trees and the sounds of birds, you're blessed to be living so close .. hugs from wisconsin, keep on going, i have watched every video of yours, sometimes more then once, I'm like a sponge, i love History and learning more from our past helps us understand better i think. The Hall's I'm sure have to Family that is still alive, I'm talking like Great Great Grandkids as the greats go on. Hopefully someone can find out if they do still have Family or it could be their Family....

[@kathleenallmark9837]

Did anyone see the ladder up against a tree just before reaching the enclosed graves?

[@jamesbartlett4935]

Ladder going up to a deer stand for hunting!

[@henrydjr]

The Davis House at Stone Mountain was built by my great-great uncle and moved from Dickey GA to Stone Mountain. Unfortunately it was damaged by fire several years ago.

[@marshabrown8337]

Just lovely. Thank you.

[@Teresa-f2h]

It's a ashamed that so many graves is forgotten & not taken care of

[@decembergem4598]

Thank you Robert and Dan.

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. The study of history and Dan knowing the area

[@andreamills5852]

Hello Mr.Dan.

[@cjacob9875]

Maybe you can get the new properties owners to let you look for the old cemetery

[@marilynpoitras7839]

Very, very interesting! Thank you

[@trentonjanney5379]

How do I find one of those books you where reading out of

[@tompena7487]

Hope ya'll find the other cemetery enjoyed the vlog thanks

[@lindamccaughey6669]

Thanks very much, just loved this. Loved Mr. Dans history too. Please stay safe and take care

[@mrc4912]

Nice presentations, very respectfully done with interesting camera work.

[@susanbrown7898]

I really like to listen to Dan. He knows his stuff!

[@brendakrieger7000]

Another fantastic video🪦🪦

[@marytaylor8417]

This is very interesting. I wish you could find the other cemetery.

[@dorenedaniels7493]

I all was enjoying watching both of you God bless you both 🙏❤️

[@sandraschnipke6451]

Would be nice if someone would cut the young trees out of that little cemetery.

[@barbararoberto1258]

Enjoyed the video you all do such wonderful historical videos

[@mythoughts2221]

Evelyn Beach married William at age 17. Seems so young considering traditions today.

[@margaretgarner853]

This is so interesting!

[@deniseoftedahl8937]

Always good to see Dan and listen to his stories. I'm sure between the two of you you'll figure out where that other cemetery is at some point. Nice resting place. Big trees and birds singing sounds wonderful.

[@marypettitt9150]

This is definitely a mysterious cemetery. I wonder if the wife chose the fence surrounding her husband's grave. Perhaps she was no longer living on what was left of the plantation when she passed. Once eras have passed, there's not much left.

[@maryohare4141]

That iron fence was beautiful! Made me wonder how expensive it must have been, especially after Civil War and Southern money being worthless. Mrs. Hall must have really loved her husband to make that resting place so beautiful.

[@donnablair5507]

Do you think a drone would help you guys on your adventures? I’m thinking it might.

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello dear how are you doing?

[@colleenwilkin5705]

do you ever have a problem with ticks, mosquitos, fleas! I enjoy your videos! Wish something could be done for the cemetaries

[@justinhall3243]

This was interesting.

[@claytonlee]

Robert do you think a drone would help you find what you're looking for. It sure wouldn't hurt to try unless there's law against doing that. Just trying to help !!!!

[@jtsmith4800]

So sad. Robert how to you keep from getting lost when you go deep in the woods? Just curious.

[@connwright8000]

Could the rock wall be in clear cut area where hardwoods are at that you talked about love the videos

[@45beetle]

really sad that they log right over them

[@patrickhughes4546]

Use a drone to look for the stone walled cemetery.

[@michellehessman3683]

Hey Mr dan

[@marydegenkolb9603]

could the original low wall have been removed and the iron fence placed there to protect the plots? That fence does not appear to be civil war era as all iron was purposed for cannons and war.

[@sherrilee230]

You need a drone.

[@JLiger]

I agree with Betty boop and Andrew Owen , can someone come and x-ray where his body was supposed to rest since the tomestone was big mess on me hall by either weather or someone mess with it I sure it was weather.

[@Diwondermum]

Robert it’s just so sad! Could the other cemetery be for the slaves that worked on the plantation of the Hall family? This might explain why little or no care was taken with it….I’m sure you will work it out.

[@DeepSouthTechie]

I have a question. If a headstone falls in a forest and no one is around does it make it sound?

[@cynthianesbitt6197]

Be careful, don't be caught with that book!!

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

What? Why? lol

[@patranney1561]

Maybe the place is a special spot for the two of them

[@stex1985]

👍

[@patriciastupak3264]

Maybe at one time it was a special place for the two of them

[@cherylgriffin2759]

Love the video. Don't understand why they weren't buried next to eachother.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

They are… side by side.

[@hankfacer7098]

Another strange one

[@bernietate6930]

Dan knows facts the other guy just. Makes up a story

[@lezliesummers4192]

Maybe you could use a drome to help you find the land your looking for

[@bcoldgoalie]

That rotted tree needs to be taken down before it possibly falls on those two markers and fence. Hopefully the site doesn't get damaged later on. Thanks for this. 👍

[@bungie38]

you need to invest in a good drone

[@TammyMilam-yc4yn]

Sad

[@mikemccormick3432]

Take two copper wires and bend them in a L shape like you are witching for water and when they cross you have found a grave if you use one wire and it goes to the right it is a female to the left it’s a male have id many graves while cleaning up cemeteries around our county, let us know if it works for you.

[@marwatson7408]

I love these adventure they take lots of history with those old headstones. 🪦
