Marion-Stewart-Webster County GaArchives News.....Church Hill New and Views March 30, 2005 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: ANGELA COVINGTON AANGEL4KEN@ALLTEL.NET April 7, 2005, 1:20 pm Tri County Journal & Chattahoochee Chronicle Buena Vista, Ga March 30, 2005 Church Hill News & Views The Cemetery, a sleeping chamber, a place set aside for the burial of the dead, is quiet, with only the cold north wind hallowing through the treese, on this February evening as I walk among the graves- I had come here to reminisce, to think of our loved ones who rest in this place. Especially remembering our family who have passed on - the wonderful times we shared together. These memories will be locked within our heart, as long as we live. Church Hill has two cemeteries, The "Smyrna Presby", at the corner of the cutoff road from Hwy 41 S to 280 on the east side of Richland. The Presby Church which was located at this site, was torn down and relocated. Date of existence 1838-1925. The Shiloh-Marion Cemetery is located in front of the church by Hwy 41 S from Buena Vista, to Preston, left of the Hwy. (Existence in 1830's until the present). At the Smyrna Presby, my relatives, father and mother, maternal grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins are buried. Some family members listed are : Brodnaz, Worley, Horne, Davis, Drew, Bearden, Brooks, Brown, Christian, Deavouis, Elliott, Gill, Gordon, Gunnels, Harris, Hogg, Holloman, Johnson, Jones, Lanier, Lawhorn, Little, Lowery, Majors, Marshall, Martin, Monfort, Norman, Reeves, Savile, Sears, Sherman, Smith, Tullis, Upton, Wilson, Carnes, Patten, and several unmarked graves. Upton, Harris, Jane Blair 1805 from S Cotland, the (aunt Jane Wilson Harris and Ruth Wilson Harris) early pioneers. At Shiloh-Marion Cemetery graves include Bell's (relatives of Attorney General Griffin Bell), Bowden, Bussey, Bruce, Cooper, Cosby, Dalton, Davis, Dean, Drew, Gunnels, Harry, Highnote, Horne, Hurst, Heral, Johnson, Jordan, Josey, Majors, Marshall, McDaniel, Ruse (relatives of the late Judge Cleveland Reese of Preston), Sander, Sears, Shierling, Tullis, Warren, Watson, Patten, Jones, Smith, Stephens, Herrington, Simmons, and many unmarked graves. Some graves are marked with rocks piled up, some with a wall of rocks around them, also wooden crosses which have been destroyed with time, Mr and Mrs Cranford (early pioneers) are buried in tombs built like tables. Robert Jones, said to be the oldest grave is covered with large rocks, Fussells, Morris, Harvey- early pioneers in the community. The northeast section of the cemetery, was set aside as a burial plot for early slave members of the church. The archives at Mercer University documented the number of slaves who attended church at Shiloh from 1860-1870, maybe even as early as the 1830's. These grave sites are unmarked and over the years the pottery which marked graves has been destroyed. These graves need to be preserved for future generations. It has been said that when visitors come to a community, they can tell what kind of people live there because of the way the cemeteries are kept. A few years back, one halloween night, some unknown individuals beat and broke down a beautiful headstone, cracking some with aparently a heavy instrument leaving destruction all around, in both of our historical cemeteries. No one was ever caught and convicted, although law enforcement checked on this horrible crime of the night of "tricks and treats. Also rocks have been stolen from the cemeteries in the past few years. How sad that someone would venture in a grave yard to take from the dead. Members of Shiloh Marion Church have plans to repair the markers, get both cemeteries in a top notch condition and continue to keep uo the cemeteries in this community. these cemeteries hold many memories for me as a teen growing up in Chirch Hill. I've witnessed many funerals-one man, a member in the church shot his son then turned the gun and killed hissilf, another young man was murdered and the one committing the crime has never been caught. A deacon in the church and his small daughter, both killed in an automobile wreck, they lay at rest here. These things happened to our family, our friends and neighbors. There is a cross erected in each cemetery made by Tobert Worley (Bob) of Richland, who grew up in Church Hill and is my beloved brother, who cared enough to make the crosses as a memorial to all of these loved ones resting here. Bob passes on to reward in September of 2004, but in his heart he wanted to recognize those who have departed this life. I stood beside the cross, and noted its shadow falling across the graves of our parents beyond. I said a silent prayer of thanks for good people like Bob Worley, and other families in our communities, especially the "Davis family", who care ehough about this sacred place to make memories still come alive with their time, talents and financial support. We must remember without the past there is no future, may we who live now continue to keep up these special places in honor of our loved ones, "Gone but not forgotten". Any financial assistance would be appreciated on the upkeep of these cemeteries. Send to Margaret Welch (cemetery chairperson) 536 Ga Hwy 30, Buena Vista, Ga 31803, 229-649-6545.

I am trying to figure out why there on no records in Houston, Macon, and Marion Counties of the sale and purchase of land. I know PHILIP BAILEY bought land in Houston County before 1837. I presume all of this land ended up in Macon, but it may not have. He died ca. 1839 in Marion County and his succession shows he owned land in Marion. There are no records per my research and Ga. Archives of the sale of the land PHILIP owned in Houston or of the purchase of the land in Marion. No land records for him in Macon. Any ideas?

Macon was formed Dec. 14, 1837 from Houston and Marion Counties. PHILIP BAILEY b. 1760-1769 was in Houston County, Ga. when Macon was formed and where he lived in the 15th District was ceded to Macon. I am wondering if the 15th District where he lived was in the area ceded back to Marion so that he ended up living in three counties without ever moving.

Sorry for such a short note, but I guessed you probably wouldn't know where the Grigsby came from. Reason for asking is I have been looking for a Doshie/Doshe Grigsby who married Richard Wall in 1798 in Frederick Co., Virginia. I have never been able to find anything on them other than the marriage. I get a little excited with I see the names Grigsby and Wall placed together. Do you happen to have the Wall surname in Frederick Co, VA? Please keep me in mind if you ever come across this in your searches. Thanks Chrissy
