Blanton Family Cemetery Inscriptions, Talbot County, Georgia

There are several discrepancies in the Blanton Family Cemetery listing in the
Talbot County Web page.  I have visited the Blanton Cemetery and submit the
following information.
 
 
Blanton Plantation Cemetery
circa 1830
Talbot County, Georgia
 
Take Hwy 80, two miles east of Talbotton, Georgia,
turn left on paved road adjacent to old grass airfield,
go one mile and you come to a “T” intersection.
This is the location of the Foster Plantation, circa 1830.
Nothing remains, but a few pecan trees.  Turn left on
dirt road and go about 300 yards and turn right.  Go about
one mile and the Blanton Plantation House and Cemetery
are on the right.
