It is always so special to me when we can put photos with these people laid to rest, and tell a little bit of their story.

Dan is just wealth of knowledge!  I hope he has written everything down he knows, I would hate for it all to be lost one day.

Dan is a real Georgia treasure.  I love the stories. I treasure the times I spent in my childhood visiting with older members of the community.

This is why each town needs a historian. To pass on the knowledge and legacy

Dan seems like he’s a really cool, down to earth guy and super super knowledgeable. I’d like to know his story.

Love it when Dan talks about local history ❤❤❤❤

LOVE our Dan!! Best story teller ever!! Thanku Dan and Robert!!❤❤

I enjoy listening to Dan talk about the stories he has been told and the knowledge he has

What a wonderful addition to have first person recollection/knowledge of the families❤️ so awesome

I'm so glad Robert and Dan are making a memorial for future generations.   Before nature swallows the stones completely.  I just visited the Graves of 2 great aunts still born. No names or dates. Marked by stones. Breaks my heart they are not marked.

Imagine all the different stories that would come from these graves.  I’m sure they played an important role in building our Country.  Bless them all.  Thank you Dan and Robert.

Thank You Dan for posting this video a great number of my family are buried there. Terry's, Perry's, Boddie, Foster's, Denson, Mahone. Brought tears to my eyes thank you again.

Too bad that church can’t ask for volunteers to clear up that cemetery and cover that well!!!

Ty Mr Dan for the stories of those passed...mom always said as long as you are remember you are not forgotten..and they are not thru you.

I could sit and listen  to Dan all day talking about history  in that area, and I'm a Yankee up in Michigan😊 ❤❤❤❤

Yay!  What a treat to have Mr. Dan back for another history lesson!! Always enjoy when he makes an appearance on these videos!

THANKYOU DAN FOR THE
WALKINTO THE PAST HISTORY  OF THOSE POOR SLAVES . SO SAD 😢😢  FAN FROM AUSTRALIA

I am soo impressed by Dan's knowledge of the area & people.If he hasn't written a book,he probably should,it should all be documented for the future generations.Its amazing how he retains it all!

Unfortunately, it was illegal during slavery to record any important personal life events of a slave.  This was due to slaves not given the same rights as others, they were denied their humanity.  I learned this when I moved to Texas, and learned that unmarked slave graves are found near where I live.  In the old cemetery I visit, there are a few rectangular and arch rough chipped markers, no wording and no obvious plot.  The rough chipped markers are the only indication they are buried there.  Someone had to tell me about it, then I looked at the history articles online that explained why.  

I also live a couple short miles from a "Confederate Avenue".  I found a report online, written in the mid 1940's as a thesis.  The writer says that several black  Union soldiers who had returned home were hung on that street one night on a large oak tree.  Nobody was ever charged with their lynching, the street was then named Confederate after that event took place.  The most sadly ironic thing is that the housing plots were created in the 1890's in that neighborhood precisely for an African American/Black American only neighborhood.  It is still to this day, and Confederate ave. runs right thru it.  I never had a clue about this history until I moved here from another state and started rummaging thru articles I managed to find.  Not a lot of information out there.

Don’t sidestep into that well!  ❤️
