It was not found by Larry and I but there were many graves in serious disrepair. Matthew Talbot had been Governor of Georgia in 1819. This listing also says that the father of Matthew, John Talbot gave the land on which the church and graveyard had been located and was the first person buried there in 1798. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
