The graves of 78Jordan Norris and 79Julia Huffman

112 Hiram Brown
The grave of 112Hiram Brown

113 S. Ellen Groover (allegedly)
113S. Ellen Groover is allegedly buried here. There's even a tombstone-like marker for her.
However, the marker was obviously placed long after her death, and is in a somewhat unusual location, separate from the other graves. It also bears the name of her husband 112Hiram Brown--who is definitely not buried here. Therefore, I have doubts about whether she's truly buried at the marker's location.

114 John Wesley Haynes
The grave of 114John Wesley Haynes is somewhere within this cemetery, and his tombstone is extant, but I don't know its exact location.

144 Melancton Thigpen and 145 Barbara Ricks

163 Sarah Everett
The grave of 163Sarah Everett

164 Thomas Davis

174 Thomas B. Logue (likely)
Although no document explicitly says so, 174Thomas B. Logue is likely buried somewhere on this hill, along with many thousands of other unidentified Confederates who died in the Petersburg campaign and whose bodies were reinterred here after the war.

288 Travis Thigpen
The marker here seems to be merely a memorial, not an actual gravestone. However, 288Travis Thigpen seems very likely to have been buried somewhere within this cemetery.

653 Jane Carter
The grave of 653Jane Carter

968 Alexander Reid (likely) and 970 Henry Chambers
970Henry Chambers is buried here, and his tombstone is extant, although I don't know its precise location within the cemetery.
968Alexander Reid was a member of the Fourth Creek Congregation, who buried many of their members here. The cemetery is known to contain unmarked graves. 968Alexander's is likely one of them.

974 Tunis Hood
Within the cemetery here is a small stone labeled simply "T H." This is generally believed to be the grave of 974Tunis Hood.

1864 John Douthit and 1865 Mary Scott
The graves of 1864John Douthit and 1865Mary Scott

8208 John Epes
8208John Epes was buried in the churchyard of St. Mary the Virgin Church, Ashford, Kent, England on 19 November 1627. However, his exact burial location within the churchyard is unknown.

16416 Alen Eps
16416Alen Eps in his will dated 28 April 1551 requests that he be buried in the churchyard of All Saints Church, Lydd, Kent, England. His exact burial location within the churchyard is unknown.

32832 John Epse, 32833 Alice ___, and 65664 John Eps
65664John Eps, 32832John Epse, and 32833Alice ___ all requested in their wills to be buried inside St. Clement's Church, Old Romney, Kent, England. 65665Margaret is probably buried here, too, since she's depicted on 65664John's brass plaque in the church, but no document explicitly stating so has been found.

65672 William Fisher and 65673 Elizabeth Friar
In their wills, 65672William Fisher and 65673Elizabeth Friar requested to be buried in St. Faith the Virgin Church in Maidstone near the seat he sat in. The church later closed and was ultimately demolished in 1858. A reconstruction (marked here) was built nearby a few decades later.

65676 John Maplesden
65676John Maplesden in his will dated 8 July 1528 requests that he be buried in All Saints Church, Maidstone, Kent, England beside the grave of Steven Norton, but the exact location thereof is now unknown.

131328 Allen Eps
131328Allen Eps in his will dated 5 June 1471 requests that he be buried in the churchyard of St. Eanswith's Church, Brenzett, Kent, England. His exact burial location within the churchyard is unknown.

131349 Alice ___, 262696 William Bettenham, and 262697 Helewys Baker
The will of 262696Stephen Bettenham indicates that his first wife 262697Helewys Baker is buried in the porticus/entryway of St. Dunstan's Church, and he requests to be buried beside her. The church is still active and has website.
In her will, 131349Alice ___ requests to be buried in this church. The precise location of her grave within the church is unknown, however.
The will of 131349Alice's son 65674William Bettenham, dated and proved in 1493, describes him as a resident of Cranbrook. It doesn't specify that he's buried here, however.

131350 William Sondes and perhaps 525405 Benedicta de Detling
In his will dated 1473, 131350William Sondes requests to be buried in the north chapel of this church, St. Michael & All Angels in Throwley, Kent.
The 1436 will of 525405Benedicta de Detling includes some language to suggest she might be buried here, but this is uncertain.

131352 Thomas Maplesden
In his will, 131352Thomas Maplesden requests to be buried in this church, St. Michael and All Angels, although his precise location within the church is unknown.
The will also describes lands he owned in Horsmonden and Goudhurst (which lie a few kilometers southwest of Marden) and Staplehurst (a few kilometers east of Marden).

262704 John Maplesden
In his will, 262704John Maplesden requests to be buried in the parish church of Goudhurst, which would be this church, St. Mary's. Specifically, he requested to be buried in the St. James' chapel before Our Lady of Pity.

525406 William Cheyne
In his will dated 1441, 525406William Cheyne requests to be buried in the chapel of Saint Katherine in this church, St. Mary & Sexburgha on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent.

1050814 John Salerne
In his will dated 1415, 1050814John Salerne requests to be buried in archa nove capelle ("in the arch[?] of the new chapel") of this church, All Saints in Iden, East Sussex.

33625988 Geoffrey de Say
A record states that 33625988Geoffrey de Say was buried near Dover, and another shows that he had previously willed his body to go to the Maison Dieu hospital, which lay here. Therefore, it's very likely that 33625988Geoffrey is buried somewhere nearby.

134503953 Beatrice de Mandeville
There is evidence that 134503953Beatrice de Mandeville is buried in this area, although her grave is not extant, and the area has been extensively redeveloped since. Archaeologists found skeletal remains of a man buried here, just beyond the southern wall of Audley End House, so perhaps 134503953Beatrice is buried nearby, too.

538015814Eudes is said to be buried in the presbytery of St. John's Abbey, but the abbey was destroyed long ago. Archaeological findings show that the presbytery was located approximately where I've placed this marker, and 538015814Eudes presumably is still buried there. Archaeologists have also found medieval graves closeby (a short distance west), but I know of none found in the presbytery itself.

538015815Rohesia is said to be buried at Bec, presumably at this abbey.

Residences - Specific Properties

Alabama

120 John R. Dunkin's land in Marshall County, Alabama
This land is mentioned in 120John R. Dunkin's estate records (the southwest fourth of the southwest fourth of section 12, township 8, range 1E). Court records also explicitly state that a four-room house was on this property.

56 Henry O. Brown's patent land, Cleburne County, Alabama
On 8 June 1891, 56Henry O. Brown purchased these 160.14 acres from the U.S. government. According to an affidavit whose source I unfortunately cannot find/confirm, 56Henry lived on the western half of the area indicated.
My tracing of the boundaries may be slightly off. Specifically, within section 22, he owned the eastern half of the northwest corner, and the western half of the northeast corner. For reference, a more perfect map of section 22 is included.

1118 44th Place N, Birmingham, Alabama
57Margaret Ada Haynes was living here when she died in 1956.

Carolinas

Lot 63, Saxe-Gotha Town, South Carolina (approximate location)
1280Abraham Geiger was granted this 0.5-acre tract plus another 300 acres elsewhere in the Township on 5 June 1742. The location of this 0.5-acre tract has been approximated from a map overlay by David Brinkman, but the location of the 300-acre tract is unknown.

206 Joab Horn's land inherited from his father 412 Abishai Horn
An estate division record dated 24 November 1796 shows that 206Joab Horn inherited this land from his father 412Abishai. Note that the borders I've traced should be considered merely a rough approximation of the true borders, based on a map included with the estate division record.

412 Abishai Horn's land, lot 1
After 412Abishai Horn's death, his land was divided into five equal lots. This lot (#1 as numbered in the estate division record) was described as "Containing the Dwelling House," so 412Abishai must have lived here somewhere. Note that the borders shown here are approximated using the map from the estate division record, so the borders shouldn't be considered precise. (To give an idea of the margin of error, one can use the information from the estate division record to calculate that this lot should contain 285 acres, which is 0.44 square miles, but the area I've traced is only 0.36 square miles.)

484 George Reid's residence
This 1773 map shows that 484George Reid lived here, more or less. (The map doesn't seem to be drawn to scale, so it's difficult to pinpoint the exact location.)

968 Alexander Reid's residence
This 1773 map shows that 968Alexander Reid lived here, more or less. (The map doesn't seem to be drawn to scale, so it's difficult to pinpoint the exact location.)

970 Henry Chambers' residence
This 1773 map shows that 970Henry Chambers lived here, more or less. (The map doesn't seem to be drawn to scale, so it's difficult to pinpoint the exact location.)

974 Tunis Hood's Plantation (alleged)
At this location is a plaque that reads in part, "Plantation Site of Tunis Hood, 1719-1797, Settled Here in 1775," a reference to 974Tunis Hood. I haven't attempted to confirm that this location is accurate. You can see photos of the plaque here.

1864 John Douthit's property near Wachovia, North Carolina
Although the structure no longer exists, 1864John Douthit's house must have been at or near this location.
This 1766 map shows 1864John Douthit, Sr.'s property (marked as #13) here, just a short distance west of the border of the Wachovia Tract.
The marked location also fits within the borders of the map shown on Here Come the Douhits page 25.

Europe

13 North Street, Ashford, Kent, England
8208John Epes' will describes his house as being "in North Lane in the town of Ashford," which is now called North Street. According to a plaque on the front of the building at 13 North Street, the house was once the residence of ₈₂₀₈John Epes.

Bettenham Manor, Cranbrook, Kent, England
262696Thomas Bettenham allegedly owned this manor in the 1400's (although I haven't attempted to confirm whether this is true).

Maidstone Museum, Maidstone, Kent, England
Although the museum includes several more modern additions, part of the building is the original Chillington Manor, which 32838Peter Maplesden owned and lived in during the early- to mid-1500's.

Saddlescombe Farm
In the late 1220's 33625988Geoffrey de Say gave Saddlescombe to the Knights Templar, who subsequently farmed the land as a fundraising method. The site is now maintained by the government. You can read a bit about the site's history with respect to the Knights Templar here.

Shurland Hall, Isle of Sheppey, Kent, England
2101624Robert Cheyne inherited a manor at Shurland. Its previous owners included 8406498Robert and 16812996Roger de Shurland.
The manor no longer exists, but it was probably at or near this location. Shurland Hall was built several centuries later to replace the earlier structure.

Town Place, Throwley, Kent, England
131350William Sondes owned a manor in Throwley, apparently this house known as Town Place. His father-in-law 262702Thomas at Towne seems to have owned the property previously.

Florida

1415 Third Avenue East, Bradenton, Florida
Although 1415 is no longer recognized as a valid address, 16George W. Knight was living here (or very close to here) in 1940.

Georgia

Bibb and Houston Counties

126 Comer Terrace, Macon, Georgia
8Bryant Knight and his wife 9Julia Thigpen lived here from about 1956 until their deaths (₈Bryant in 1961, ₉Julia in 1965).

332 New Street, Macon, Georgia
8Bryant Knight and his family seem to have moved to Macon in the early 1950's, and this was probably their first residence. 8Bryant Knight, 9Julia Thigpen, ₄[my paternal grandfather; name redacted for privacy and security purposes], and ₅[my paternal grandmother] were all living here in 1955; they moved by the next year.

531 Heard Avenue, Macon, Georgia
12Henry Irvin Smith purchased this lot in 1946 and personally built a house here. The house has since been demolished.

1222 James Street, Macon, Georgia
13Oma Mae Collins was living here when she died in 1960.

Houston County, Georgia / District 5 / Lot 196
₁₉₆Stephen Ammons bought this land on 27 March 1830. -- This location was identified by overlaying the map that appears on 1822-1829 Land Records of Houston County, Georgia page 329 over a modern map.

Houston County, Georgia / District 10 / Lot 192, North Half of
₉₆William Smith owned this property and deeded it to his son in March 1869. -- This location was identified by overlaying the map that appears on 1822-1829 Land Records of Houston County, Georgia page 334 over a modern map.

Elsewhere in Georgia

Carroll County, district 12, lot 159
290Richard Ricks drew this land lottery lot on 12 March 1827.

Cobb County, section 2, district 16, lot 889
224Silas Brown sold this lot on 8 January 1867. I'm not sure when he acquired it. Other land he owned in Cobb County *is* included in tax digests from 1848, 1849, and 1851, whereas this lot doesn't seem to be included.

Cobb County, section 2, district 16, lot 911

Gilmer County, district 26, lot 118
See the description for lot 155 (to the southwest).

Gilmer County, district 26, lot 155
126Cain Waldrip paid tax on this land in 1869. He also paid tax on another nearby lot (probably the lot either immediately north or immediately south of this one, but the ink is smeared in the tax book) and also lot 118 (to the northeast)
126Cain very likely either lived on one of the three lots.

Gwinnett County, district 7, lot 354
1316Mary ___ won this lot in Georgia's 1820 land lottery. Her heirs agreed to sell the land in December 1823.
I plotted this location by overlaying this historic map over a modern map.

Meriwether County, district 10, lot 29
A deed made after his death describes this lot as "the place [42]Ephraim McGraw lately lived on."

42 Andrew Copeland's property in 1929, Treutlen County, Georgia
This February 1929 map of Treutlen County shows 42Andrew Copeland's property in southwest Treutlen County. Superimposing that map over a modern map shows that his property was at or very near this spot. This 1937 aerial map seems to show a structure at the location I've marked.

64 Jesse B. Knight's land from the 1832 Cherokee land lottery
64Jesse B. Knight won this lot—section 2, district 10, lot 223—in the 1832 Cherokee land lottery, which is infamous for precipitating the Trail of Tears.
I used this map file to help determine the location of this lot.

182 Rodie Johnson Sutton's land from the 1827 land lottery
182Rodie Johnson Sutton won this lot—section 1, district 7, lot 233—in the 1827 land lottery.
I used this map to help determine the location of this lot.

206 Joab Horn's property as of June 1829 (approximate)
A June 1829 newspaper notice states that 206Joab Horn lived in district 25, lot 92.

232 Jacob Parlier's land (mentioned in estate inventory)

1832 Georgia gold lottery, section 3, district 3, lots 346 and 374
These land lots are mentioned in 232Jacob Parlier's estate inventory, dated 10 May 1866.
I used this map to determine the lots' locations.

1832 Georgia gold lottery, section 3, district 18, lot 1144
This land lot is mentioned in 232Jacob Parlier's estate inventory, dated 10 May 1866.
I used this map to help determine the lot's location.

466 William Douthit's land, Bartow County, Georgia
466William Douthit's will, dated 30 Jul 1855, mentions several land lots that he owned in district 4 of section 3.*
Using an old map of the district, I traced his property for this map.
* Note: This land was originally distributed in a gold lottery, not a land lottery.

658 Mary Bird's land from the 1820 land lottery
658Penelope Bird won this lot—section 7, lot 321—in the 1820 land lottery.
I used this mapmade by Wiregrass Region Digital History Project to help determine the location of this lot.

126 Grace Street, Augusta, Georgia
12Henry Irvin Smith lived here temporarily while working on construction projects at nearby Fort Gordon during World War II. The house now at this location was built after the war, so it's not the same building that Henry lived in. You can see a 1941 aerial photograph of this area here (Look near the upper right corner of the image).

699 Paines Ave NW, Atlanta, GA
Different records show that 58Alfred M. Parlier lived here or at 703 Paines Ave NW (the address to the immediate north) from roughly 1923 through 1930.

851 Donald Lee Hollowell Pkwy NW, Atlanta, GA
58Alfred M. Parlier lived here the last few years of his life, and died here at home on 1 April 1940. The road was named Bankhead Avenue NW in his day but has since been renamed to Donald Lee Hollowell Pkwy NW.

Maryland

Douthit's Chance, Maryland
1864James Douthit purchased 50 acres--which he referred to as "Douthit's Chance"--in Prince George's County, Maryland on 25 February 1743.
That property lay here, according to a map on page 238 of the book Pioneers of Old Monocacy. However, I haven't evaluated the evidence to confirm whether the book is accurate.

New York

13 Broadway, Manhattan, New York, New York
The Iconography of Manhattan Island, Volume II, pages 218-219 explains that in 1660 7794Lucas Andrieszen owned house A6, which would nowadays be 13 Broadway.
Although 13 Broadway isn't recognized as an actual address (The nearby businesses mostly use 11 Broadway as their address.), 13 Broadway would lie here, more or less.

West Virginia

1948 John Hood's patent land
In 1735, 1948John Hood received a patent for 1175 acres in what was then Virginia.
According to Dellmann O. Hood's book The Tunis Hood Family, page 77, the property lay "opposite Fort Frederick State Park in Maryland," thus here. I haven't bothered to confirm Dellmann Hood's research in regards to the location, however.

Residences - General Landmarks

Bunschoten, Netherlands
3898Teunis Elissen was very likely born in this town in 1643, although the evidence is slightly controvertible.

Coleraine, Ireland
1864John Douthit was born in Coleraine in 1709.

Detling, Kent, England
8208John Epes and his wife 8209Thomazine Fisher married in Detling in 1579 and were still living here in 1590. By 1595 they'd moved to Ashford, where they seem to have lived for the rest of their lives.

Hardt neighbordhood, Berneck, Switzerland
640Hans Ulrich Geiger, baptized 28 June 1730, was described as from Hardt in his baptism record.

Haslach neighborhood, Berneck, Switzerland
1280Abraham Geiger, baptized 9 March 1687, was described as from Haslach in his baptism record.

Langmoos neighborhood, Berneck, Switzerland

Bay Street, Augusta, Georgia
In 1861 ₉₂John G. Tant lived at 3 Bay Street. No such address now exists, and I've been unable to pinpoint the exact location. Bay Street seems to have once been substantially longer than the short, curvy section now labeled as Bay Street.

D. W. Freeman's home
22Charlie Black's World War I draft registration card indicates that he worked for D. W. Freeman. A February 1929 map of Treutlen County shows that D. W. Freeman's house was here, so there's a good chance that ₂₂Charlie lived and worked near here.

Mercer's Creek in militia district 1388, Laurens County, Georgia
72Richard Thigpen's home property must have lay west of this portion of Mercer's Creek, as suggested by a certain estate record and a newpaper article.

Neal's Creek in militia district 56, Johnson County, Georgia
86James Love's estate records show that his property was (a) in militia district 56 in Johnson County and (b) along Neel's Creek. This line segment shows the portion of the Neal's Creek that lies in militia district 56, give or take.

Pendleton Creek, Treutlen County, Georgia
82Thomas A. Davis owned land along this creek in the late 1800's, according to an 1891 land warrant. His land was probably along the northwestern segment of the path depicted, since other records show that he lived in militia district 1221. However, I continued the path for some distance beyond since the land warrant itself doesn't explicitly specify a militia district.

Pepper Street, Poulan, Georgia
14George Frederick Brown's death certificate states that his residence was on this street.

Wildcat Creek, Clarke County, Georgia
Starting in 1803, 244Presley Garner owned 60 acres along this creek (and presumably lived here) until his death by 7 August 1827.

New England

Fort Christina
A list of the inhabitants of Fort Christina in 1644 includes 15588Andries Lucaszen, although he was appointed to be "on the sloop continually," so he may have spent substantial amounts of time on trips out of town.

Fort Orange
On 1 April 1662, 3898Teunis Elissen was hired to work for four years as a farmhand at Fort Orange.

Virginia

Appomattox River, Virginia
Along with the James River and Bailey's Creek, this river marked one of the boundaries of 4104Francis Eppes' 1700-acre land grant in 1635, land that was later inherited by his son 2052John Eppes and grandsons.

Bailey Creek, Prince George County, Virginia
Along with the James River and the Appomattox River, this creek was one of the boundaries of 4104Francis Eppes' 1700-acre land grant in 1635, land that was later inherited by his son 2052John and grandsons.

James River (segment), Virginia
Along with the James River and the Appomattox River, this creek was one of the boundaries of ₄₁₀₄Francis Eppes' 1700-acre land grant in 1635 (and a later grant for 280 more acres), land that was later inherited by his son ₂₀₅₂John and grandsons.

Licking Run, Fauquier County, Virginia
Licking Run and nearby (to the southwest) Tinpot Run are mentioned in documents describing lands owned by 976Thomas Garner and his son 488Charles, as well as 490Robert Hinson. They undoubtably lived somewhere near here.

Linville Creek, Rockingham County, Virginia
In August 1771, 974Tunis Hood bought land on Linville Creek.

Nottoway River, Virginia
514Silvanus Stokes bought 500 acres on the south side of this river on 30 July 1742, and another 390 acres on 5 June 1746. His father bought 90 acres somewhere south of the river, too, on 12 February 1720/1.

Oven Branch, Sussex County, Virginia
On 9 November 1707, 1026Daniel Eppes bought 166 acres near this this creek. On 12 March 1742/3, he sold this land to his son Edward.

Raccoon Swamp area, Sussex County, Virginia
On 28 September 1732, 1028Silvanus bought 1445 acres on both sides of this swamp.
The swamp's location is estimated from History of the Rise and Progress of the Baptists in Virginia pages 463-464, which read, "RACCOON SWAMP has been a large and flourishing church [...] In 1853 their name was changed to Antioch. The meeting-house of the church is in Sussex county, twelve miles east of Jarrat's Depot.," The modern-day Antioch Baptist church is at GPS N36.8111 W77.2792, about 9.5 miles east of the small town of Jarratt. The swamp presumably must have been in this general area.

Shirley Plantation, Charles City County, Virginia
In February 1631/2, 4104Francis Eppes and his family were living in Shirley Hundred, which was the general area around this plantation house.

Tinpot Run, Fauquier County, Virginia
See the description for nearby "Licking Run, Fauquier County, Virginia."

Other

Savannah Creek, Anson County, North Carolina
454Philip Henry owned land along "Savannah Creek" in Anson County, North Carolina. I suspect (but don't know for sure) that this was the same waterway, and that he lived somewhere nearby.

Events and Other Landmarks

Church

First Baptist Church of Forsyth, Forsyth, Georgia
80Washington Geiger joined this church on 4 June 1854, became licensed to preach on 5 May 1855, and on 2 February 1856 "applied for a letter of dismission which was granted" (source: Record of the Harmony Baptist Church [First Baptist Church of Forsyth], Volume I, 1838-1878 (First Baptist Church of Forsyth, Forsyth, Georgia), pages 84, 90, and 96, respectively).
According to the church's website, the current building was constructed in the 1920's to replace the original church building, which stood at the same location.

Katholische Kirchgemeinde Berneck, Berneck, Switzerland
From the Reformation through 1936, this church building was used by both Catholics and Protestants in Berneck.

1560Hans Gÿger (21 June 1650),
3120Abraham Gÿger (12 September 1619)

Old Dutch Church, Kingston, New York
1948John Hood married 1949Rachel van Bunschoten on 27 October 1718. The marriage is documented among the records of this church, so the marriage likely occurred here.

Migration

Rotterdam and the Nearby River Delta
1280Abraham Geiger (and presumably his wife 1281Cathrina Schellig and son 640Hans Ulrich Geiger) arrived in Charleston harbor, South Carolina on 1 February 1737 (= 12 February 1738 proleptic Gregorian) aboard the ship Prince of Wales commanded by Captain George Dunbarr from Rotterdam.
Considering the family's place of origin (Berneck), the captain's place of origin (Rotterdam), and their final point of departure from Europe (Falmouth, England), one suspects they likely passed through Rotterdam's harbor and/or nearby river deltas in late 1737.
Unfortunately, their exact point of departure from the Rotterdam area is unclear. The modern Port of Rotterdam is a recent, artificial construction. In earlier centures, the area contained many small distributaries, all leading to the North Sea.

Falmouth Harbor, Cornwall, England
1280Abraham Geiger (and presumably his wife 1281Cathrina Schellig and son 640Hans Ulrich Geiger) set sail from Falmouth harbor on 5 December 1737 (= 16 December 1737 proleptic Gregorian) aboard the ship Prince of Wales commanded by Captain George Dunbarr from Rotterdam. They were a part of a party of more than 200 Swiss led by John Tobler.

School

Corpus Christi Hall, Maidstone, Kent, England
In 1548, 32838Peter Maplesden and 16418Alexander Fisher served on a committee to generate enough money to open Maidstone Grammar School, which launched from here, Corpus Christi Hall. Only a portion of the original building remains.
Almost a century earlier, 131346John Friar was a warden of the Corpus Christi fraterntiy in 1447 and 1478.

Excelsior Academy
Excelsior Academy was founded by 80Washington Geiger, but it no longer exists. There's a historical marker just across the street to the south (on the southeast corner of the intersection). However, in 2020 long-time Excelsior resident Bill Dekle says that he was always told that the Academy was here (on the northeast corner of the intersection), and that the front of the school faced west.

Middle Temple, London
8208Alen Epes was admitted to the Middle Temple on 2 August 1572.

War

U.S. Civil War

Andersonville Prison Site, Georgia
36William M. ("Jack") Thigpen, a private in the 57th Georgia Infantry, guarded Union POW's here from 22 April to 14 May 1864, during which time 467 prisoners died. Today this area is part of a national historic site and has a website.

Battle of Atlanta - Hardee's Night March Route (with Walker's Detour)
Hardee's corps marched this route throughout the night of 21 July and the morning of 22 July 1864. The route shows the detour that Walker's division took. As part of the 57th Georgia Infantry, and thus also Mercer's brigade and Walker's division, 36William would've been part of the march. (Credit: This route is traced from this map from this webpage.)

Battle of Atlanta - Mercer's Brigade's Position
On 22 July 1864, Mercer's brigade (including the 57th Georgia and presumably 36William M. Thigpen) was positioned in this area for the Battle of Atlanta.

Camp Chase, Ohio
90Benjamin Burton Black was imprisoned here from 11 August 1863 (or thereabouts) to 29 February 1864, when he was transferred to Fort Delaware. The site of the camp has been redeveloped for residential and commercial use; only the cemetery remains in its original form.

Camp Curry, Alabama
After the Civil War began, 114Wesley Haynes enlisted here on 19 March 1862 into Company G, 30th Alabama Infantry.

Camp McDonald, Georgia
174Thomas Logue enlisted here into the 22nd Georgia Infantry on 3 September 1861 and stayed for some time to train. The location marked is actually of a historical marker; the camp itself was a bit to the east.

Camp Gwynn (approximate area), Portsmouth, Virginia
After 92John G. Tant enlisted in the 3rd Georgia Volunteers in 1861, his company traveled to "Camp Gwynn" (the location shown here) to train. Camp Gwynn was said to lie in an uncultivated field just outside the wall of the Gosport Navy Yard.
I found and plotted this area by superimposing this map (which shows the boundaries of Gosport Navy Yard) over the modern map. (I adjusted the image corners to the following coordinates: bottom left, 36.867436, -76.300239; upper left, 36.856425, -76.263211; upper right, 36.813569, -76.280883; and lower right, 36.823417, -76.317911.)

Battle of Chancellorsville - Anderson's Division's Position
Anderson's division--and therefore presumably 90Benjamin Burton Black and 174Thomas B. Logue--was positioned in this area when it began its attack in the early morning of 3 May 1863. They advanced east and then north, toward what is now labeled Cool Spring Lake on the map.

Battle of Chickamauga - Law's Brigade's Position, morning of 20 Sept. 1863
112Hiram Brown was a soldier in Law's Brigade. A memorial marker at this location reads, "[Law's] Brigade took position on this ground on the morning of September 20th in the second division line of Longstreet's central column of attack. [...] At 11.15 the command moved forward in the general advance, Law's Brigade inclining toward the Poe House where it attacked the Union Line."

Battle of Chickamauga - Poe House
See the description of the nearby marker of Law's Brigade's position.

Battle of the Crater - 22nd Georgia's starting position
Based on this map, the 22nd Georgia—including 174Thomas B. Logue—was here as the Battle of Crater began.

Elsberry Mountain, Paulding County, Georgia
During the Battle of Dallas (26 May - 4 June 1864), 36William M. ("Jack") Thigpen, as a private in Mercer's brigade, helped clear Union forces from this mountain against fierce resistance.

Battle of Eutaw Springs - Armstrong's position
452Peter Groover was a soldier in Anderson's regiment, which was positioned here early in the Battle of Eutaw Springs. They advanced eastward as the battle went on. -- I determined this position by overlaying this map.

Fort Delaware, Delaware - POW Barracks Location (approximate)
90Benjamin Burton Black was held as a POW at Fort Delaware from 4 March 1864 until probably December 1864, and 174Thomas B. Logue was held here from 5-19 July 1863. The barracks where they likely were kept were located more or less at the location marked here.

Battle of Gettysburg - 22nd Georgia Infantry's Movement on 2 July 1863
According to this map, the 22nd Georgia Infantry--of which 174Thomas B. Logue was a member--began at the west end of this line and pushed through heavy Union artillery fire to the east end before having to retreat. Other maps show that they progressed another 250 feet or so; the regiment's true progress is somewhat a matter of debate.

Battle of Gilgal Church
From roughly noon until 1:30pm on 15 June 1864, Mercer's brigade (presumably including 36William M. Thigpen) was heavily engaged in battle here and faced intense Union artillery fire. When the brigade received orders to retreat by 1:30 PM, several men died or were injured as they retreated under fire. The Battle of Gilgal Church was one of the skirmishes leading up to the Battle of Kennesaw.

Jackson Hospital, Richmond, Virginia
This Confederate hospital became a prison after the federal occupiers invaded Richmond. 112Hiram Brown was a patient and prisoner here, where he died on 11 May 1865 in the final days of the war.

Battle of Kennesaw Mountain - Mercer's Brigade's Position
Mercer's Brigade (presumably including 36William M. Thigpen) was positioned in this area for the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain on 27 June 1864. Scott Walker in his book Hell's Broke Loose in Georgia: Survival in a Civil War Regiment, page 129 describes the area: "They were surrounded by beautiful, lush countryside and were entrenched on a steep hillside under a forest of hardwood trees with thick, shadowed canopy. Kennesaw Mountain loomed to their immediate right, rising to seven hundred feet. A broad expanse of sloping, open meadow lay before them at the base of the hillside. Any Union advance would have to cross this wide, exposed killing ground."

Battle of Peachtree Creek - Mercer's Brigade's Position
Mercer's Brigade (presumably including 36William M. Thigpen) was positioned in this area for the Battle of Peachtree Creek on 20 July 1864.

Battle of Second Manassas - Wright's Brigade's Position
This is the approximate location of Wright's Brigade (and therefore presumably 90Benjamin Burton Black and 174Thomas B. Logue) at 17:00 on 30 August 1862, in the last stages of the battle. This location is approximate and is based on this map.

Battle of Sharpsburg/Antietam - Wright's Brigade's Position in the Afternoon
Wright's Brigade (presumably including 90Benjamin Burton Black and 174Thomas B. Logue) ended up here during the afternoon hours of the Battle of Sharpsburg (a.k.a. Battle of Antietam) on 17 September 1862.

Battle of Sharpsburg/Antietam - Wright's Brigade's Position in the Afternoon
As part of R. H. Anderson's Division, Wright's Brigade (presumably including 90Benjamin Burton Black and 174Thomas B. Logue) arrived here on 17 September 1862 by 10:30 AM during the Battle of Sharpsburg (a.k.a. Battle of Antietam). Intended as reinforcements for A. P. Hill's Division, they were unable to provide much help and eventually had to fall back. However, they fought along what became known as "the Bloody Lane" due to the particularly fierce fighting here.

U.S.A. General Hospital, Chester, Pennsylvania
After his capture at the Battle of Gettysburg, 174Thomas B. Logue arrived here on 25 July 1863 to be treated for scurvy.

Battle of the Wilderness - Thomas' Brigade's Position
Based on this map, we can see that Thomas' Brigade—and therefore 50Robert Oxley—was positioned here during an assault at 5:00 AM on 6 May 1864. 50Robert was shot in the foot, developed an infection, and never returned to active duty for the rest of the war.

Floyd House Hospital, Macon, Georgia
50Robert Oxley was noted as a patient here in October 1864. The hospital was at this intersection, but unfortunately I don't know which corner.

Skidaway Island, Georgia
48William Harvey Smith was stationed here for three months during the Civil War.

Smith Hill
Law's Brigade--and therefore 112Hiram Brown--was positioned here during the nighttime Battle of Wauhatchie on 28 October 1863. You can read more about the battle in the book Law's Alabama Brigade, page 186.

Train depot, Augusta, Georgia
On or about 29 April 1861 at 7:20pm, 92John G. Tant left Augusta with his Confederate company en route to Richmond, Virginia. The passenger depot was at (or very near) this spot.

Berwick Castle ruins
In 1318 8406498Robert de Shurland participated in the unsuccessful defense of Berwick agaainst Scottish forces. He likely spent time at Berwick Castle, which now lies in ruins.

Bytham Castle (no longer extant)
33625988Geoffrey de Say was present during the siege of this castle in February 1221 to crush a baronial rebellion. The castle's ruins still exist underground and have been explored by archaeologists, but are barely/not visible from the surface, and the site restricts visitor access.

Caerlaverock Castle
In 1300 8406498Robert de Shurland participated in a siege against the castle, which was occupied by Scottish freedom fighters.

Guernsey
16812994William de Say and his father 33625988Geoffrey joined England's invasion of France in 1230. The soldiers sailed from Portsmouth, England on 30 April but stopped at Guernsey for the night of 2 May before continuing to France the next day.

Rouen, France
During the Hundred Years' War between England and France, in 1417 262702Thomas at Towne joined as a man-at-arms under Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester during the invasion of Normandy, and as such presumably joined Humphrey's unit in perpetrating the siege of Rouen, one of the war's major events.

Stirling Castle
In 1304 8406498Robert de Shurland participated in an English siege of Stirling Castle, which was occupied by Scottish freedom fighters.
The castle as 8406498Robert would've known it no longer exists. The castle now at this site was built many years later.

Tonbridge Castle
In 1215 67251978Richard de Clare was one of the 25 barons tasked with ensuring that King John would uphold the Magna Carta.
King John, however, promptly refused to abide by the Magna Carta's terms and began a destructive campaign of revenge.
Tonbridge Castle, owned by 67251978Richard and a stronghold for the barons, became a target and was captured by royal forces on 28 November 1215.

Tower of London
After participating in a failed rebellion against King Edward II that ended in March 1322, 8406498Robert de Shurland was imprisoned in the Tower of London, apparently for about a year.

7798 Gerrit Thÿszen raids a Spanish ship.
In April 1652 during the Franco-Spanish War, 7798Gerrit Thÿszen, acting as a privateer for France, raided a Spanish civilian ship. It was a violent raid in which several people were killed. Accounts of the raid report its location in various ways, but they generally seem to be in this area, more or less. (One report indicates a location much further west, but it's probably simply wrong.)

Miscellaneous

Burwell Castle (no longer extant)
Geoffrey de Mandeville, the brother-in-law and close associate of 134503952William de Say, was mortally wounded here at Burwell Castle during an attack in August 1144 and died a few weeks later. Some sources state that 134503952William was likewise killed in the same attack, although some contradictory evidence suggests he probably lived at least a few more months after the attack.

538015814 Eudes memorial statue
A memorial statue of 538015814Eudes is on the front of Colchester's town hall.

Excelsior News printing press
Edited by 80Washington Geiger, Excelsior News was Bulloch County's first newspaper. In 2020, long-time Excelsior resident Bill Dekle told me that he grew up being taught that the printing press used to be located here (the southeast corner of the intersection), a little ways past where the Excelsior Academy historical marker now stands. You can see an aerial photo of this area taken in 1941 here.

Path of the Kalmar Nyckel in 1638
15588Andries Lucaszen was part of the crew of the Kalmar Nyckel, which sailed along this path in 1638. Because he was familiar with the local Indian language, 15588Andries acted as translator as Swedish representatives purchased the surrounding land from the local Indians.

Ramsey Abbey (no longer extant)
Instigated by 134503952William de Say, Geoffrey de Mandeville overtook this abbey, fortified it, and used it as a base while he raided nearby areas as part of his furious retribution after King Stephen had seized his property.
Archaeological surveys show that the abbey's structures were in this area at the time, although little obvious trace now remains.

Rocky Mount Mills
1652Isaac Ricks co-owned a grist mill at this location, and in 1762 his son 826James became the sole owner after buying out the other co-owner's share. The building at this location was built several decades after 826James' death.

Saltwood Castle
On the evening of 28 December 1170, 269007694Ranulf de Broc hosted the four men who would murder Thomas Becket the following day. They also returned here the evening of 29 December after the murder.
