It was donated by Thomas Woolfolk in the early 1820's. Thomas bought the 100 acre tract from the U.S. Government when they closed Fort Hawkins. The cemetery is bounded by Bowman, Hall, Short,, Cowan, Norris, Mitchell, Schaeffer, Williams, and Kitchens. Kitchens, Short, Hall, and Mitchell each dead end in a corner of the cemetery after having each formed a boundary of the cemetery section. The Potter's field is located in the north east corner of the cemetery. The oldest cemetery was the burial ground for Fort Hawkins, established in 1806 as a trading post with the Creek Indians. The fort sat on a hill on the east side of the Ocmulgee River near the ancient Indian town of Ocmulgee and was named for U.S. Indian Agent, Benjamin Hawkins. A large rectangular fort of wood with two blockhouses positioned diagonally from one another at two of the corners of the fort, all that remains is actually a reconstruction of one of the blockhouses, although plans are afoot to reconstruct more of the fort. (This has been made possible since Fort Hawkins School, which sat on the site of the fort has been closed and razed). In the oldest part of the cemetery, whites, blacks, and possibly Indians--who had lived among the whites-- are buried. McDougall, Captain Robert - Commander of Fort Hawkins in 1809. Legend says that McDougall [married a Creek woman] died at the fort and was buried in a small Indian mound. [There is a mound at the Ocmulgee National Monument named "McDougall Mound." Archeologists did not find human remains in the mound. History records, however, that there were three more small mounds between Fort Hawkins and McDougall Mound that were destroyed during the construction and expansion of Macon.] William Ford's letter says McDougall was 1LT with the 3rd Infantry Regiment. He commands Fort Hawkins, but he is court- martialed and dismissed on 7 August 1809. He also dies in 1809. One of the cemeteries within that known as Fort Hill Cemetery is a white cemetery and two of the cemeteries are black cemeteries. Some families still have spaces in their plots and burials still occur there, although the neighborhood is not the most desirable. We do not recommend anyone going over there alone, even during the day. ======================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
