Thomas Hadden Cemetery (a/k/a Steep Hollow Cemetery)

Current listing shows one burial:  

Thomas H. Hadden 
1/18/1832-7/10/1885


I visited the above site and was told by the Sheriff's Dept
that all the graves had been moved.  I spoke with the family
living at the site and they concurred. There is nothing left
but a large cedar tree. 


An elderly lady, Evie Phillips Roney Hughes, sent me a detailed
drawing of the original cemetery with names & grave locations
attached.  She listed the following burials:

1. Thomas H. Hadden, Jr 1/18/1831-7/10/1885
2. Ester Allen Hadden 1805-1885
3. & 4.  Infants of James J. Hadden
5. Infant of Samuel L. "Samp" Hadden
6. Zura Newsome
7. Marion Newsome 


Because of a roadbed relocation, the graves were moved.  I
spoke with the man who was responsible for the relocation.  He
said that all they found were 3 buttons in one area and metal
straps from another area.  He bought an infant casket, placed
the buttons and straps in it and buried the casket at Reedy
Creek Baptist Cemetery in Warren Co, GA.
