NOTES:
The Salzburger markers are on private land at the site
of Old Ebenezer (town) while the supposed site of the
Cemetery is about 3/4 mile from the Salzberger
markers...It is located in a large grove of trees and
has rows of sunken spots that appear to be graves; the
land owner has driven down stakes at the head of each
grave, some 100 or more...Almost everyone who settled
at Old Ebenezer died within two years after arrival,
due to malaria and other sicknesses, such as childbed
fever...the location was not good for landing supplies
either, so the settlement moved south to the site of
New Ebenezer...


The cemetery at New Ebenezer is very large and
surrounded by a fence...
