| A Memorial Arch among the family plots |
I made sure my children, who I ended up raising on my own, always knew they had a large family in Savannah. Recently, I started looking for genealogy information about that part of the family and learned that many branches of that family go way back to before the revolution, coming from a place called "Io", apparently an area of Switzerland. The elderly grandmother I met in 1963 was a Bourguin, and they, too, dated back to original Georgia settlers with hefty land grants. I also learned the Bashlors were buried in Bonaventure Cemetery, the gorgeous old burial ground featured in the 1993 movie, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

Finding Lost Great-Grandparents
9:51 AM | Posted by

Edit Post
I never knew any of my great-grandparents but I felt closer to Anna and Greeley Scarlett than the others. The Scarlett line of first-born sons came down to Greeley since the early 1700s. However, he and Anna had two girls. Minnie was 8 years old when her little sister, Katie, my grandmother, came along. Minnie married first, of course, and had one child, a son, Clair. When Katie married, she had one child, a son, my father, Clifford. Clair never married but Cliff did and had two children, my brother, Charles and me.
Anna and Greeley moved from Alvordton to Hicksville (both in Ohio) next door to their older daughter.
I loose track of them there. Minnie and her husband died. In the early 60s, Clair died and I went to his military funeral. I was sure the cemetery wasn't far from the house.
My friend, Theresa, mentioned in a geneology - scrapbooking chat one night that she lived quite close to Hicksville, Ohio and would check the cemetery there for me.
She sent me photos of the headstones.
The three close stones are the Garvers, Minnie, Will and their son Clair. The two further ones are the Scarlett stones.
