Many of you probably already know about the Georgia Secretary of State's website. There is a "Virtual Vault" on this website that has Lincoln County death certificates for about 1912 to 1923, these death certificates give a wealth of information including the deceased parents' names. Other information on the website is early land grants for some counties as well as Civil War "Oaths of Allegiance" and other information. It's been very useful in my family research. Frances

so one of my cousins that used to fish in the area before he knew a lot about our family always wondered why the fishing was so good... does anyone know if there were maps listing owners of property in the area? I do think that the Cunningham property was flooded. I was able to find a few relatives at Pine Grove, but I am pretty sure relatives buried on Cunningham property were not moved. thoughts are welcome karenq working on Cunningham other families realated by marriages Sims, Forbes, and Martin On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 6:15 PM, RoseMary HYATT <hyattrosemary@bellsouth.net>wrote: > I am also interested in graves that were covered by water.

It is my understanding if a living member of the family cemetery brings suit against those paper companies they can make them restore these cemeteries. I have not checked the law lately. I believe this is a GA law. Please see if you can locate these families and get them to get a lawyer to take their case pro bono(sp?). I believe I remember reading on the Johnston Co NC list about suit being brought against someone who did something to a grave yard and had to pay for it. It was at least ten years ago. Johnston Co NC has a very active Historical Society. I know there was a case, I just do not remember the details. This is all I know about the legal end. The problem is that most people who are descendants live in other states and do not want to take the trouble and don't have the time to bring these cases to court and these greedy companies know this. I know the law says they must provide access to member to get to these cemeteries. Also most all of us put off anything that is not hitting us in the face at the moment. It has also been my observation that loggers are one of our worst enemies because they "snake out" their logs with no regard for old markers. It behooves us all to put chain link fences around old family cemeteries. One suggestion would be to get one person to take care of getting the fence and seeing that it is done and one person to collect donations from family members so that the responsibility is spread out. If we can ever get the ATTENTION of these companies, they might be more vigilant. Remember everyone except the owner of any company, and they are probably answerable to a board of directors, has a boss who is higher up than they are. This is one reason Historical Societies in every county are so important. Another problem is by the time one person even visits all of their ancestors grave yards, you come up with more cemeteries than you ever imagined. When we were primarily a farming nation, this was not a problem. But the industrial revolution changed all of that and now current migration patterns would be almost impossible to chart. Our grandchildren will move more than their parents, etc. In one of my families, the owner back in the early 1900's made a will leaving the family grave yard to the heirs of his father forever. There is another word for forever but I can't spell it. This deed is on record in that county courthouse. That land can never be sold. This would be a wise thing for everyone to search out and do somehow even at this late date. One problem arises when the cemetery was an old church cemetery and the church is no longer there--all kind of complications. I do not believe any of us can "go after" the government for backing up all that water on all our cemeteries-the time to have done that would have been before it happened. But I challenge you to "go after" those paper companies who did their destruction. If you locate your family cemetery, even the destroyed stones, be sure to document your finding and do a GPS reading for it and put it in your genealogy records. Betty in ga P. S. I do not know how to post to the message board. The URL please? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: galincol-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:galincol-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Chris & Frances Johnson Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 1:35 PM To: galincol@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GALINCOL] dams on the savannah river and the graves it covered Karen, I, too, have relatives that lived in the Pine Grove community, but I was told by someone that ran I store in that area (Sims) that my ancestors' family cemetery property was bought by a "paper company" and all of the markers were destroyed, what a shame.

Karen, I, too, have relatives that lived in the Pine Grove community, but I was told by someone that ran I store in that area (Sims) that my ancestors' family cemetery property was bought by a "paper company" and all of the markers were destroyed, what a shame. My Pullen ancestors who lived on Pistol Creek in Wilkes County also had a family cemetery that I visited this year that is owned by a paper company and they planted pines throughout the cemetery and all of the markers were knocked over and broken with the exception of one! The Pullen families lived in Wilkes and Lincoln.

Betty, Years ago I asked the Corp of Engineers to give me a list of cemeteries covered by Clark Hill for the Hart County Library and they finally complied in 1988, they are not on microfilm but on paper. Since I grew up in the Lincoln/Wilkes County area I was told by relatives that some of the graves from the area around Petersburg were moved to Bethel Church in Elbert County and some to Friendship Baptist Church in Wilkes County when the waters of Clark Hill were "backed up", I don't know if this is correct or not. Frances in SC -----Original Message----- From: galincol-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:galincol-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Betty Bivins Sent: Monday, April 05, 2010 9:41 PM To: galincol@rootsweb.com Subject: [GALINCOL] dams on the savannah river and the graves it covered Barbara, You are partially correct. They built a plant called Vogtle Nuclear Power Plant in Burke Co near Waynesboro GA below Lincoln Co and Augusta. I know nothing about a dam there. You can google it and find out some interesting information. They are currently digging out to put in a new part. There are several dams across the Savannah River. The Richard B Russell(long-term senator from GA) Dam is close to Elberton GA which is north of Lincoln Co. There is one at Clark Hill. When they built those dams, it is my understanding that the Corps of Engineers were to map every cemetery and log the ones that were potentially to be covered with water. I never heard of anything about moving any. No one would have had that much money. They only got so far and the water backed up faster than it was predicted. All of that history is lost to us forever. There was a lot of rain that year. At least that was their EXCUSE! Don't ask me which year, I can't remember. The cemeteries that they did log are supposed to be housed in the public library at Hartwell, GA (I do not know if printed or microfilm). When we went there several years ago to search them, they were renovating the library and we were unable to do our searching. I still have plans to go back there again. It is NOT a complete list. If their log has been published I am unaware of it. I am surprised that Ancestry has not done one. The only graves they moved, of which I am aware, are the graves of Elijah Clark and his family, the Revolutionary War hero. They moved them to Elijah Clark state park located on the Savannah River in Lincoln Co. GA across from McCormick, SC. (John Dooly, the Revolution hero who was murdered in his cabin by the Tories is here also but we have never walked up to that site.) They have a great state park there. There is a reproduction of Elijah Clark's cabin that is probably the best reproduction of a cabin that we have ever seen. They know so much about it from letters and papers of him and his wife that were kept. They measured the length from one chimney ruin to the other on his farm, now under water, and built it from that. They just did a good estimate on how large to build the kitchen that is not attached to the house. The cabin is manned by volunteer docents and is only open on weekends. If you enjoy Revolutionary War research you would enjoy studying the revolution in this area of GA and SC. It was actually more like a local area civil war and very brutal. One of the dams created the J. Strom Thurmond(long time senator from SC) Reservoir. There is much water in this area for recreational purposes. There are a number of state parks with boat ramps and some of them have cabins to rent. And now that you have had your Georgia history lesson, I am going back to my email. I do not know how much publicity was given to the public about them backing up that much water. We were not living here at the time. I do not live close to Lincoln Co. I feel sure most of my kin from Lincoln Co are blowing bubbles as I type. If I had been I would probably been one of those hippies who stood in front of the digging equipment and been hauled off to jail.

Hi Betty, I knew I was foggy but you jiggled my memory a bit in your letter. Thank you so much. I do now remember that not all grave sites were moved. I am positive that they wrote about the ones they did move in those books. I went to Lincoln County and McCormick in 1986 to see the area for myself. We went from Texas to N. Carolina and then through S. Carolina to Lincoln County, Ga. There were still old cabins still standing on the McCormick side at that time. They definitely looked old enough to have been Civil War or even Revolutionary era. It was an interesting trip. I have been studying the Revolution in VA, NC, SC, GA and near the Alabama line. I have many of my ancestors who either lived there or fought there. Mostly in the Southern Campaign. The records from that period are awesome and hold my interest. I think later generations were so busy moving and dealing with the new frontier they had no time to put down records for genealogy. Sherman's March to the Sea burning and pillaging also had a part in lost records. I hope we all can find what's left eventually and put it all together. Barbara

Meredith, Would you please email me privately-I have something I would like to brainstorm with you based on this will.

Thanks, Frances. I have that book but I do not remember Coulter quoting any sources. I will have to make a house search for it. There is a marker where you can go to see the approximate location of Old Petersburg. It is puzzling to me that no one mentions sugar cane or syrup mills which would be necessary for cane syrup and brown sugar. I guess it was because they could not easily move the syrup mill and large iron kettle very easily. I have yet to see these items in any will inventory. Has anyone else? What we must remember is it took a lot of corn, oats and other grains to feed the farm animals. I am not quite sure how many bushels for each type of animal to get them through the winter. During the time before 1810 I do not believe they knew about crop rotation or if they knew to plant rye and other grains for the winter as a cover crops to protect and nourish their soil and for their animals to eat.

Petersburg (now a dead town and under the Clarks Hill reservoir and just across the river from Lincoln County) and Augusta, Georgia were towns that boosted large tobacco warehouses so we know for certain tobacco was a major crop in the 1700s and early 1800s in the "up country". The following was published in "Old Petersburg and the Broad River Valley of Georgia" by Ellis Merton Coulter concerning crops grown along the Savannah and Broad Rivers in the late 1700s and early to mid 1800s: "Cotton and tobacco were the so-called 'money crops', but, of course, agriculture was not limited to them alone. There was, at least, one other 'money crop', which was early tried in the Petersburg-Augusta region, and raised with some little success for a short time--indigo. In 1787 Thomas Cole announced that he had indigo seed for sale, saved from last year's crop; and those planters who knew how to grow it now and then published information on the subject. Many of the planters around Petersburg raised flax in small quantities, which could be spun into 'beautiful sewing thread' and also be made into ropes and bed cords, some of which were manufactured in Petersburg. There was, of course, small grain raised for food and feed--wheat, rye, buckwheat, corn, and barley, for which there was a market in Petersburg and in Augusta. And practically everyone had a kitchen garden to produce everything expected from such a place, and often extensive enough to provide Irish potatoes and especially the delectable sweet potatoes. There were fewer fruit orchards than gardens; however, anyone growing more peaches and horse apples than needed for home use could find a ready market in Petersburg and in the down-river markets at Augusta." "Next to cotton and tobacco in importance was corn, a crop which was basic for home food and feed for livestock, and for which there was always a local market for surpluses. I hope this helps answer your question. Although Petersburg was in Elbert County, I feel sure the same crops were grown in Lincoln County just across the river. Crops were transported from Petersburg to Augusta via the Savannah River.

If anyone out there has ANY information about what crops they grew in Lincoln Co. prior to 1810, I would appreciate you posting this info to this list. It would probably be in a will or some type of business inventory or letter. I have not been able to find anything definitive about the type of crops they grew, especially over on the Savannah River. If you have not been to Lincoln County, the branches are very close to each other which makes the fields closer to each other and also smaller than the fields further west where they grew a lot of cotton. Yes, they grow cotton in the Mississippi delta but they lose them some years, like in 2009, if there is too much rain. And those fields are much larger than in Lincoln. In the past two hundred years it is likely that the water table has dropped therefore more of those small fields could have been used to grow sugar cane. And that is another reason I do not believe they grew that much cotton-cotton does not like a lot of moisture. One would assume they grew a lot of tobacco but tobacco fields do not need to be too moist either. Indigo and rice were grown further south down the river but the flat land there could be easily controlled with dykes(not the correct term) necessary for the cultivation of rice. I know nothing about growing hemp which might be another possibility.This part of Lincoln is now under water because of the damn they built on the Savannah River. Thank you for your time.

Barbara, You are partially correct. They built a plant called Vogtle Nuclear Power Plant in Burke Co near Waynesboro GA below Lincoln Co and Augusta. I know nothing about a dam there. You can google it and find out some interesting information. They are currently digging out to put in a new part. There are several dams across the Savannah River. The Richard B Russell(long-term senator from GA) Dam is close to Elberton GA which is north of Lincoln Co. There is one at Clark Hill. When they built those dams, it is my understanding that the Corps of Engineers were to map every cemetery and log the ones that were potentially to be covered with water. I never heard of anything about moving any. No one would have had that much money. They only got so far and the water backed up faster than it was predicted. All of that history is lost to us forever. There was a lot of rain that year. At least that was their EXCUSE! Don't ask me which year, I can't remember. The cemeteries that they did log are supposed to be housed in the public library at Hartwell, GA (I do not know if printed or microfilm). When we went there several years ago to search them, they were renovating the library and we were unable to do our searching. I still have plans to go back there again. It is NOT a complete list. If their log has been published I am unaware of it. I am surprised that Ancestry has not done one. The only graves they moved, of which I am aware, are the graves of Elijah Clark and his family, the Revolutionary War hero. They moved them to Elijah Clark state park located on the Savannah River in Lincoln Co. GA across from McCormick, SC. (John Dooly, the Revolution hero who was murdered in his cabin by the Tories is here also but we have never walked up to that site.) They have a great state park there. There is a reproduction of Elijah Clark's cabin that is probably the best reproduction of a cabin that we have ever seen. They know so much about it from letters and papers of him and his wife that were kept. They measured the length from one chimney ruin to the other on his farm, now under water, and built it from that. They just did a good estimate on how large to build the kitchen that is not attached to the house. The cabin is manned by volunteer docents and is only open on weekends. If you enjoy Revolutionary War research you would enjoy studying the revolution in this area of GA and SC. It was actually more like a local area civil war and very brutal. One of the dams created the J. Strom Thurmond(long time senator from SC) Reservoir. There is much water in this area for recreational purposes. There are a number of state parks with boat ramps and some of them have cabins to rent. And now that you have had your Georgia history lesson, I am going back to my email. I do not know how much publicity was given to the public about them backing up that much water. We were not living here at the time. I do not live close to Lincoln Co. I feel sure most of my kin from Lincoln Co are blowing bubbles as I type. If I had been I would probably been one of those hippies who stood in front of the digging equipment and been hauled off to jail. I find most people in this country have absolutely NO respect for nor see the importance of old grave yards.

Years ago, perhaps 30 years, I was in a library doing research on my Lincoln County ancestors. I found a few books there that told of how there was going to be a nuclear plant or something to that effect on the river near Augusta or maybe higher up near Lincoln County. They stated that whole cemeteries had to be relocated prior to a flooding of the area that was going to occur in connection with that plant going in. It is a very foggy memory but it gave me rise to expect that because I could not find the graves of my people, they may have been in the move. You might find it in a local library of either Lincoln or Wilkes Counties in Georgia and possibly McCormick County in S. Carolina.

I think you are right on about graves not being moved completely. I am have Cunningham's that I beleive were buried and then flooded. They should of been at Pine Grove Methodist Cemetery there and they are not. karenq On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 6:41 PM, Betty Bivins <halbet@hughes.net> wrote: > Barbara, > You are partially correct.
