Joyce McMurray's nice posting of wills from "Georgia Pioneers" included the will of the father of a prominent Jones County resident of the Civil War period, that of Thomas Bazemore, RW Soldier. It names son Thomas Jeferson. There may be members of the list who would be interested in the location of Thomas Jefferson Bazemore's grave site. He is buried in a little known family cemetery located in the Hitchiti Experimental Forest just east of Wayside, Ga. Marked graves include: T. J. Bazemore (Confederate Monument) CO A 32 GA INF CSA Mrs. Elizabeth wife of T. J. Bazemore Born Nov 8, 1846 Died Nov 8, 1907 John P. Smith Husband of Mattie Ross Born Sept 15, 1853 Married Jan. 31, 1875 Died Aug. 20, 1895 Several slabs marked: Infant Daughter of T. J. and Elizabeth Bazemore Countless unmarked graves, many thought to be slaves of this family. Moses Smith who died about 1825 and possibly Jeremiah Smith, his brother, who also died about the same time are buried here as well as Jeremiah Griffin Smith, son of Moses Smith. Elizabeth Smith Bazemore and John P. Smith are children of Jeremiah Griffin and Bethana Morris Smith, grandchildren of Moses and Mariah Smith. This cemetery is located at the old home site dating from about 1807. The Forest Service has been kind enough to clear a foot trail to this cemetery. From Wayside follow Five Points Road to the intersection with Cuyler Road. Turn right (North) on Cuyler Road and go approximately two miles. After passing the gate to the Hitchiti Experimental Forest continue for 3/10 mile to a Forest Service sign on the right that reads "Foot Traffic Welcome." There is a cleared trail directly to the cemetery several hundred yards into the forest. The home site is located about 50 yards West of the sign on the right on a bluff no more than 25 feet from the road. I will be happy to share extensive research on this Smith family from the line of Major Lawrence Smith of England and Gloucester County, Va. (1629 - 1700) who arrived in Virginia in 1652.
