Hidden Carsonville Cemetery: Forgotten Plantation-Era Graves & MORE

Hey y’all! Just to clear something up—when I referred to the building as the “meeting house” in this video, that was a mistake on my part. It’s actually the Scandrett House circa 1850-55.

Thanks!

Excellent video effect with the black and white cut in with previous information! Another interesting place. 👉Read Robert's posted information it is always a plus! Nice fence. Cool on Henry Searcy! One of my great great grandfathers was a musician for the Confederacy. He was in many battles, and was shot during the burning of Atlanta. But he was luckier than 620,000 soldiers in the Civil War, he made it back home. Pretty place, the Searcy's have a peaceful reasting place. This whole place looks beautiful. Thank you for the tour, Cecil and Robert. 👍❣️👍❣️

Just want to say i respect what you all do and giving the forgotten souls a deserved recognition again.

Is it really so clear where there are graves without markers?
It is an amazing work you two are doing, keep it up.
Thank you for sharing
Stay safe

My greatgrandmother was named Henrietta Sanders. My relatives came across Georgia and Alabama on the way to finally settling in Mississippi. I watch your channel hoping to see some of my relatives traveling to Mississippi.

👍good job guys

Thanks for sharing! Another great piece of history 😊😊

Another good one guys.

I am fiddling "Swinging on a Gate" on my Violin.

Stepping in that hole sure make your heart beat a bit faster.

I am so glad yall coveder this cemetery. There is another cemetery near there that is a little family cemetery that has one of the coolest markers I have ever seen!! Would love to meet yall amd show yall sometime!!

Each grave marked or unmarked has a story…

Dang sweet gums are out of control

I was surprised at the graves from the 30s and 40s. It looked like it was abandoned by the turn of the century

I'm always on the look out for the next video in this series. Same goes for the Byrd channel.

I Googled the Searcy surname as I was fascinated to see its origins. Its actually French and is whats known as a habitational name meaning it comes from a place specifically from regions like Cercy-la-Tour, Cersay, or Sercy. Some Searcy families were French Huguenots who fled France due to religious persecution.

I love when you take us along. Always so educational! The marked headstones are pretty. Luckily they're readable.👍🏼
The plantation owner made the land a cemetery but time took over and now we see neglect. Apparently there was no law, deed, or agreement about maintaining the cemetery and ensuring all burials included ID.🙁
The worst part is that there are way too many individuals who are buried in these cemeteries and they will forever be anonymous.
This is a beautiful place! Looking forward to when you take us there again.🪦🌳

My third great-grandfather was a musician in the army and the calvary and they were either buglers or they were drummers and they also played for the the company when they were not doing anything and they also went in and to other things that they entertained

I hope you guys are looking for ticks and using something on your clothing to repel!!! I had RMSF and lived to tell about it. Please protect yourself!

There's a lot of information on ancestry about Martin H[omer] Riey, 1844-1911. He was a local judge. He enlisted a Private with Co. G, and was discharged as 1st LT. The obits unfortunately say nothing of what would have been an interesting war record.

Thank you.

Thank you Cecil and Robert

T6ge name Martha must have been very popular back then

Another great cemetery found and logged. Thank you Robert and Cecil or all the work you do.

Been watching y’all for quite a while now. Today I might have found my grandma and grandpa as well as my great grandma and grandpa so much more respect for all y’all do.

just amazing finds! so sad it is not being cared like it should be cared for. so many un marked graves! so depressing.

I would hate to see you guys wrench your ankle. Sometimes when you point out the indentions I see them but other times I can't tell. I enjoy your videos.

Martin Homer Riley enlisted as a private in the 6th Georgia on June 24, 1861 at Yorktown, VA for the war. 4th Corporal 1 August 1862. Shown as 2nd Lt on Jan/Feb 1863 muster, Commissionef 1st Lt on April 9, 1863. Paroled at Greensboro, NC 1 May 1865.

Thank you Robert and Cecil for all your hard work documenting these forgotten cemeteries

😮😮😊😊😊😊

So interesting ❤❤

Thank you, Cecil and Robert! What a beautiful place to rest your soul! Nice video of this cemetery.

These old cemetery s need to be cleared and cleaned for future generations to track family ties. We found my wife's family member in an old forgotten site and I cleared the dead trees and limbs to be able to see the stones. This was also in Georgia.

Another great find! Cecil must really be busy finding all of these forgotten cemeteries, and taking you along is a plus!

❤❤❤❤

Did plantation owners keep ledgers on births, deaths and burial details?

Hey, Robert! Carsonville Cemetery? Well, Here's Johnny! 😂 Great video, as always!🤟

Robert, where are those Georgia Guidestones located? That's an interesting monument. I've heard a lot about them for years! I bet that site draws a lot of tourists!😊

The Foys are my husband's great grandparents! Thank you for all of your videos!

Great work guys! Thank you for all you do!
