GRANT CEMETERY, Brunswick, Glynn Co., Georgia
Transcribed by Amy Hedrick, January 2001

This is the burial ground for five of Robert and Sarah
Foxworth Grant's children.  It is located in the back
of the Youth Estates (now Morning Star) property on
Hwy. 99 in Brunswick, Georgia.  When you enter Youth
Estates, follow the road straight back until it curves
back towards the right (after passing all of the
buildings which will be on your left).  The road will
turn into a dirt path (with some small buildings on
your right) at about seven tenths of a mile.  Keep
going straight and the path will curve to the left and
you will see a green building on your left (about nine
tenths of a mile).  Turn off of the path towards the
building, keeping it on your right.  Drive straight
like you are going to run into the trees and look to
your left and you will see a cleared area and the wall
of the cemetery.  Bring your bug spray, specifically
for ticks!

A plaque was erected outside of the cemetery wall, it
reads as follows:
