Under the direction of German baron Philip Georg Friedrich von Reck, a group of forty-six Lutherans arrived in Georgia in 1734, a year after James Oglethorpe founded the colony. Mostly religious expatriates from Salzburg, the group eventually settled in 1736 at a site they named New Ebenezer, located twenty miles northwest of Savannah. Over the next ten years, approximately 1,000 “Salzburger” Lutherans came to Georgia. They quickly went to work, sponsoring religious schools, building churches, and experimenting with various economic endeavors, including silk making, farming, and lumbering.

I was raised Catholic ! One time our Eastern European nuns / Felician order asked us to name a Christmas Carol! So I said Away in a Manger! She quickly reprimanded me" We don't sing that son!" "Why?" asked . "Because Martin Luther wrote that song! " she replied. LOL! Years later I found out my paternal Grandfather was raised Lutheran. He converted to Catholic religion when he married my Catholic Grandmother! 🤔🤣😂😂🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲I left the Catholic church years ago! What the REICH WING EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS / CATHOLIC S fail to realize how many people they have turned against churches when they supported 45 or as I call him A- GOLF TWITLER? 🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇲Just a reminder, many CATHOLICS and Lutherans also supported Adolf Hitler in 1930's Germany! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔I believe in God but NOT any church!

So nice to see Robert in his favorite neon shirt! You were missed big time! Glad you got the go pro, and using it at the cemeteries. I see you brought along company to help you read the graves. But you shouldn't speak at the same time, then I can't understand why your reading! But it's so nice to see you Neon Robert!!!

[@brendaz9222]

Agree! She should not interrupt while Robert is speaking or talk over him.

[@moonoggin]

The grandmother I mentioned here lost her babies to a hereditary condition. My daughter also had it but survived with surgery at 9 days old. Pyloric stenosis. Love your helper. She's a keeper!! and a good grave reader. Love that you're doing videos Robert. Hope you are well and feeling fine! One of my grandma's lost 3 babies. She named them all and visited their graves throughout old age. I gave her a baby doll for Christmas one year. She had so much fun holding and rocking that lil doll. I love the way those elders knew how to love family. She was my daughter;s Great Grandmother and the GGGrandmother was still alive in my daughter's young childhood. My favorite part of these exploring videos is the way yall really care about those that came before us.

[@Lappelduvide2001]

My little cousin had pyloric stenosis and the doctors didn't do anything for a long time and we were watching him die, and finally my aunt sat in the hospital and refused to leave until they looked at her son and sure enough there was a BIG problem

[@hailstar1985]

I had pyloric stenosis. My cousin's son had it as well.

[@MarciaSalyer]

Thank you for your work. So sad. My family came from Germany settled in Missouri. Also Lutheran. Such a difficult life.

[@dougeing6521]

Robert the Green and wife did a magnificent job documenting this graveyard! It amazes me that parents were able to keep their sanity after so many lost their children. Does Dan the Historian have any information on diseases that struck so many families of that time? Thank you!

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

I’ll ask him.

[@hrhdianednum7203]

Maybe if their first 2 children survived it could have been a Rh factor situation where one person is + and the other one was - and then the child is attacked in the womb of the mother as if it was an enemy of the body because it cannot be recognized by the mother’s body as an infant so it does everything it can to prevent it from continuing to grow and all of the children would most certainly die as they didn’t recognize it was Rh factor of incompatibility of a + vs. -. So heartbreaking that all the parents knew was that God wanted them more and he had needed the children the most or it was just not meant to be even though they kept conceiving babies. How sad!…

[@taysgram]

True…I am Rh negative and my husband was Rh positive. The first baby is alright but it’s the babies afterward who will have problems. I had to get a special injection to prevent “blue babies”. My blood was monitored and if I needed more injections, they were given . Thank Goodness my five children were healthy. Those poor families that had to endure the problems of not having that injection back in the day.

[@hrhdianednum7203]

@@taysgram I was lucky I’m Rh - also and my husband is A - and I’m O- 3 of my children is O- and 3 are A- and I had 3 miscarriages 2 breach and the first one was a premature labor and I was basically in the hospital for 4 months and back in 1985 I was in a double room and my rummy didn’t get rogram so the second one she had, her body was doing it’s darn best to eject her pregnancy. After each miscarriage I had to have rogram because sometimes nature will do funny things. I had 7 siblings and 2+ parents and 2 of us had a negative Rh while the rest of them were + and we are all biologically have the same parents!

[@yoyo762]

It was so common it was expected. To have them survive was a surprise and a miracle.

[@carmenpeguero2493]

It’s such an honor to see Robert #2 back in action! You have done a great job with this video. It’s very sad seeing the graves of young ones. So much pain for all those parents and community. Thanks to Robert and assistant for the tour. Keep safe and we’ll.❤😊

Good to see you O.R. and I agree it's extra sad when we see children passing so soon in life. Thanks to you and your helper. Always good when you are on.

[@BrendaCampos-bz8qc]

So sad about all the children. Very grateful to you reading the stones for us. Many of us who do genealogy research on our families are still looking for many graves that we've yet to find. I live in Colorado now so going grave searching like I use to in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia just cant be done any longer. Thank you so much for what your doing. Brenda Campos

[@IrishAnnie]

Doing genealogy for my family, I was startled how many babies and older people died of pneumonia. My grandfather was away at military school and dypyheria ran through the community killing 3 of his siblings. He always said being away saved his life.

i want to say , thank you for your time sharing the graves of people.

[@shyangel5384]

I want say thank you to everyone who's part side step adventures Thank you for all the wonderful videos and history. Is sad to see all the children and feel bad for the mothers that birthed the little angels to see them leave so early. My brother did the family tree on my mother's side and back then they had so many children with same name least the boys as children didn't live long and fathers want a son to carry on their name. Think one my ancestors named 6 or more sons his first and last name with different middle name. Not sure how many made it. Love from central Florida to everyone

[@mamiebobb4173]

So good to see you again Robert! You've been missed. Between Sidestep and a few other youtubers who visit old graveyards, I've seen so many like this - with so many children's graves. I can't help but put myself into the shoes of their parents. In the early days of our country, survival wasn't a sure thing for many children. Times were hard for everyone and tiny ones just weren't strong enough to always survive those times.

[@marciacoco9549]

What beautiful head stones for the precious children that were lost. Much sadness in that cemetery. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

[@cathyruthroff1698]

Amazed at how many children are in this cemetery. Could have been a Scarlett fever or another disease that went thru the community. Thank you Robert. Love seeing you.

[@artcflowers]

If scarlett fever or any contagious disease then all the death years would be the same.

[@angelamary9493]

Here in the UK we have had 38 Children die with Scarlett Fever in the 2022 ...many more cases of children with the Virus ..on the increase ...ver Dad indeed ...

[@bonniejulien8505]

could have been measles, whooping cough, TB or.just about anything.

[@christinewundrow9072]

FYI: The two symbols on the cemetery sign are called "Luther Roses". I'm Catholic, but my late dad's family, almost all Lutherans. Saw that symbol a lot as a kid. The story is that Martin Luther himself designed it. Thought you'd like to know.

Robert's been so busy with the farm, and he's on a roll clearing the land, it nice you was able to help out with the channel.

[@maragore3478]

It's been awhile Robert since Ive been on the channel, I don't know why people are saying nice to have you back, but for whatever reason you have always been my favorite. Robert number 1 is awesome also. There is something about the way you handle yourself and the tone of your voice that make the tours special, especially this one, everyone of those babies took a breath and they were gone, the mother of these children was so special and she knew what she wanted and that was for a child to live on with herself and husband, wow, so many....such a shame,,, may they rest in enternal sleep....

[@bethhutto9800]

@Robert. Interesting info on William Jennings in obit on Findagrave. He was a state representative for one or more terms in GA. He was a member of the Dawson Camp of confederate veterans. He served in the 13th South Carolina Regiment, Griggs brigade. Was in the front in the battle of Gettysburg. He also came to GA around 1878 from SC.

Many thanks for all the difficult work it was in trying to read what was on those very hard to read stones!!! Too many small children and babies died before having a chance to live! Thanks to you all for documenting this graveyard, a Fine job!!!

[@lorij323]

So sad to see the graves of so many children. It breaks my heart to think of the pain of loss some of these families endured. Whether is was disease that took them, or sometimes it seems for some possibly hidden medical reason some families failed to have children who thrived and survived. So sad. Thank you for sharing with us so they aren't forgotten. Watch out for those fire ants!

[@jillgebauer1292]

I cannot imagine how any mother can bear the loss of one baby let along several. Life can be so cruel.

[@gailatkinson1955]

Those are the cemeteries that break your heart-especially for that one family. That poor mama! That one Rauch grandchild was named after her grandmother, Gincy Wise.

[@shellydehart8217]

You called this a small cemetery, it looked large to me. Love the old fences they used back then. Nice to see no one stole parts of it. I enjoy one comment who gave the history of the Lutheran’s. It was heartbreaking to see so many children n babies who died. So very sad. They kept having babies hoping one would survive. Like the other Robert said. It could of been genetic. But there was a lot of disease’s back then. Robert did great job in sharing this cemetery. Sure do miss him as your side kick. ♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟

Cleaning old stones can destroy them or erode them. People who do it can be charged with vandalism. Many stones back then were made with sandstone or other fragile materials . Not granite like today.

So nice to see the O.R. again. What a nice place to look around in, thanks for sharing. The carving on the Martin stone: The carving of chains, with a broken link, signifies that the family is broken. Lambs are very common on a child's grave.

[@En_Marche]

The epitaph for Laura McGill (at 03:00-ish) sounds very much like a traditional Easter hymn, "The Strife is O'er, the Battle Done" (...now is the victor's triumph won). Several sources indicate Rev. Francis Pott translated the hymn's text from Symphonia Sirenum, a piece associated with the Cologne, Germany cathedral, circa1695. The hymn's tune is adapted from a Giovanni Palestrina work, mid- to late 1500's.
