Finding My Ancestors Lost Graves! Joiner Cemetery Finally Found!

In this episode of Adventures Into History, Cecil and I head to Sumter County, Georgia, near the historic town of Andersonville, to uncover a forgotten piece of history—the lost Joiner Cemetery. This cemetery had never been visually documented before, nor was it listed on FindAGrave. Cecil discovered its location through an old written survey from the 1980s, making us the first to bring this hidden burial site to light. Previously, I filmed the grave of Dr. Burrell Leonard Joiner in the Andersonville town cemetery, and in this episode, we find more of his family's story. Among those interred here is his sister, William "Willie" Thomas Joiner, who was likely named for their father, who died just before her birth. Wiley Coleman Joiner, my third great-grandfather's cousin once removed, and also a cousin to both B. L. Joiner and "Willie," is buried here as well. Another grave belongs to Susan L. Pennington, who was Susan L. Joiner before marriage. While I haven’t fully established her connection, the Penningtons lived with Rhoda Joiner, my third great-grandfather Shady Joiner’s sister, and it’s likely Rhoda is also buried here. This cemetery raises even more questions: Could Burrell Joiner, who died in 1868 and was the grandfather of B. L. and "Willie," also be interred here? With possible unidentified graves on site, the story continues to unfold. A huge thank you to Cecil for his incredible help on this journey. Join us as we bring this lost history back to life!
