On the border of DeKalb County and Gwinette County in Tucker Ga., there is a small family cemetery of the Nesbitt family that was on a large family owned plantation. It is about 2 miles from my house and is surrounded with subdivisions Home Depot etc. It also has a very faded plaque that tells about the family etc. If anyone needs this data contact me. The plantation dates pre-civil war

I would like the information from the Nesbitt cemetery. Any you can provide would be appreciated.
Thank you.

the plaque in front reads.

William Nesbit 1789 - 1863

Veteran of the war of 1812. Widening an indian trail in 1813, he supervised the building of an military road from Fort Daniel to Shallowford on the Chattahoochee River
About 1815, meeting at the Wynn house at Hog Mountain he and others created Gwinnett County and was appointed first sheriff and was elected the second and fourth terms as state legislator. He represented Gwinnett County at Miledgeville from 1826 - 1837
On this site was located his plantation of 650 acres.
Noye Nesbitt, Norcross Ga

There are 16 graves in the site that are in an area of about 40 X 60 foot. There is a short iron fence around it.

One thing noted is that the early burials had only one "T" on the spelling of Nesbitt.

I recorded the stone inscriptions

I'm sure there are many Nesbitt Cemeteries in the country, which one are you looking for? If you are searching Nesbitts in South Carolina I might be able to assist. Give me more details so I can determine if I can help. My Nesbitts in the Old Sumter District of SC date back to late 1700s.
