Love ALL your adventures. Moss was my dad's nickname. His real name was William. He got the nickname when he was three or four. Somebody asked him to do something. Then they said he moved so slow, he would have moss growing on his back before he finished the task. The name lasted just another83 years or so. He was an Alabama native. Moss was The only name he would answer to, lol.
In School, history was so boring to me. Now it is so interesting and important. I soak it up like a sponge. So with that said... I thank people like you who take the time out of you life to look for our history, videotape it and share with us. You gentleman have the perfect personalities for this, your kind, respectful and humble about your approach. I totally enjoy the journeys you take us on. You never disappoint even when you don’t find what you were looking for. Just being out in the woods, on a backroads or in an old cemeteries, you manage to teach and show us something! Thanks 👍

Love the story at the end of video. All my grandkids have old fashioned names.. From cemetery visits we did when my daughters were pregnant. Even my dogs have cemetery names. Like Princess Salome Juliar is my girl dogs name.. Solome juliar came from Mrs. Ringling.. Whos sons were in the circus business. I own their original home here in mc gregor Iowa.
Hey Walt ...Cody...Hey Robert! Good morning from Nashville. These graves are a sobering experience for sure but great to see them maintained.Especially the older ones such as these.These headstones were definitely hand chiseled. AMAZING Watch out for MOSSMAN !😬😬😊
With so many videos you have done and countless others on these wonderful old cemeteries, which you are saving forever on film (old term I know), it would be a shame if they were not being archived by the Authorities or Historical groups. You are wonderful modern historians, Thank You
You want to see some 1700 graves go visit the Palmetto Baptist cemetery in Palmetto , GA. It is not a forgotten church or cemetery.. Church is a old church, not building and very neat cemetery
this was really cool to watch... I've been watching your videos for a while but this is the first time I saw names I recognized from my family tree. The Calhoun/Colquhouns are my kin through marriage
I am sorry I paid such little attention when my grandmother would insist on taking us all to the cemetery during a visit. I remember that some of the stones were into the late 1700. Keep doing these videos if only for the history of life where it looks like none exists
So nice to see this cemetery is kept so nice. Loved this video, so clear. So glad that you don’t rush it and actually read the gravestones for us. Thank you xx
You are a champion of history. I applaud you for your efforts to document these hidden locations, these hidden gems, especially your efforts to take care of the abandoned cemeteries. Thank you for placing flags on the graves of soldiers. I’m sure there are others out there who will band together with you to protect and preserve those places. I’d be one of them.
I just came across u I love what u do very respectfully I will keep watching I'm in Greenville very close love this stuff wish I could do what u do love this so much
Hi 👋, lived in Columbus all my life, relatives buried all over this area. You and the guys with you are so very respectful and when you remove leaves, vines and read the names of those passed people I just love it, God bless you all, they who are dead are now remembered. By the way have you seen the Shiloh Cemetery up on the hill near the junction of Double Churches and Whitesfield Rds? I have Great great Grand parents laid to rest there......... people pass by all the time not knowing what lies a few steps up the hill......... there is .... .also 2 Churches across the Road with very interesting old cemeteries. This area was way, way out in the country. God Bless and Keep You 🙏🙏
It’s nice to know that there are some people that travel and explore the old cemeteries and say their names and just maybe someone might be interested in looking for their ancestors and know as long as the families name is mentioned they aren’t forgotten
Awesome VIDEO guys ! Really enjoyed.... Love the Old CSA tombstones.... May they all be resting in Peace !! God Bless you as well and keep the videos coming !!👍😀💓
your channel is the best on the net on this topic, well filmed and more than once your kind heart was on display, thanks for your respect to those that have passed. good work
The quadrangle maps (7.5 minute series) from USGS have all the old cemeteries on them. The US government isn't issuing them any longer but they can still be found.
Keep up the good work! I've enjoyed your adventures from the day I discovered Sidestep Adventures! I love exploring cemeteries and backroads....'till next time.
What's sad is to see these graves lost and forgotten. I'm guess that during those times they may have been buried on a plantation or church that has long been gone. Thank you for the respect that give to these graves.
Again a great video like the Confederate gravestones big hero,s real Southern figthers. God bless you al fooks injoying Always you impressing video,s love and peace from the Netherlands Chris Reinink
I am a Patterson from Mississippi- most likely related. Loved to see the history. If you get to D'Lo Mississippi- there are some wonderful graves there.
So many children passed to early. How heart breaking for the families, the poor mother thinking during pregnancy, will this child survive. I. Know the heartache I felt when I miscarried one child. But to loose 3 living children 😭😥😭 🇦🇺🐨👍❤️❤️
I've watched several of your videos since the start of 2021 and this is the first time I came across same birthdate of Nov 21... and our name rhymes too. I finally subscribe to your channel.
I love the passion you have for everything old. My question is does CODY talk? He seems very very shy. No one seems to talk with him. Is he one you guys brothers or cousins???? I guess I just wish he was included a little more. I am a mom and that is where this silly rant is coming from. Keep up you great work I love and will keep watching. Karen from OREGON
Cody I believe is their Indian Guide,He finds the trails and will protect the explorers from hazards,and if need be, sit on any rattlesnake that happens be in the vicinity.
You and the guys keep getting better and better!! One day, you need to go up to Talbotton City Cemetery, also known as Oak Hill Cemetery in Talbotton GA. There are some old ones there. My family is buried there too. Maybe that will be the one we team up on.
Sidestep, on the other side of the state in Screven County, I use to visit old cemeteries out in the middle of old plantation fields. A few farmers would get closer and closer until they farmed over them. Usually these farmers were renting the land. Look up 'List of Plantations in Georgia'. Eaglegards...
It looks like the parents of the wife of the eldest Mr. Patterson brought her down to Georgia as the two oldest graves were with her maiden name 👍 I too feel such sadness when seeing the graves of children 😢 We have a cemetery in west Texas where the poor parents list their 3 young gauges within days of watch other. Saddest spot I've been to, when it comes to American locations 😞 I say this because I've visited Dachau in Germany 😢😢😢 while stationed there in the 80's.
Aloha Robert & Crew! This is a cool old cemetary! It occured to me that another RU-vidr; Jessie of Jessie's Histories & Mysteries may have also filmed there. The difference is that she films at night! (Paranormal videos)😊😱.
The road may just be a lane, big enough to pull a cart, lots of times by hand. I suspect there was an older cemetery there. Some caskets were used solely for transport. Grass was introduced fairly late. I used to go on old cemetery hikes, starting when I went with my sitter, who provided meals for the men, a number of them doctors.
I have a brother by my dads first wife Johnny Gobble who died in infancy. I placed a stone on his grave in 2002.He is buried in what they use to call the Chestnut Hill Cementary and now it is Salisbury City Cementary. Where he is buried there are alot of infant graves. I think you would find the cemetery interesting. It seems it was very hard for children to live past infancy.
You’re right.... when I filmed an cemetery for a town that is long since gone I was imagining what those peoples reactions would be if they could wake up and look around now. Where the town used to be is only woods now. Wouldn’t that be a shock to see...
Sometimes you can "braille" the letters on the graves if they are too eroded to read. Also, if you point a flashlight at the letters from the side they will show up better.
People used to weave shrouds and line them with moss. Sometimes these were barely buried as shoveling was hard work and water levels could be high. This did leave outlines.
