Established in 1860 with the burial of Ellender Brown Hart (1822-1860), the Hart Cemetery also contains the remains of her husband, John J. Hart (1816-1898), and their oldest son, William Jasper Hart (1841-1864), as well as John Hart's second wife, Elizabeth Morgan Hart (1835-1892) and their son Henry C. Hart (1866-1937). The first wife of John J. M. Hart (1850-1914), Matilda Kimberly (1860-1882), and their son are also buried in the Hart Cemetery as well as four children of John J. M. Hart and his second wife, Jimmie Ophelia Ragsdale (1867-1927). Nancy Charlotte Morgan (1851-1917) is probably buried here as are her husband, Thomas Jefferson Phillips, and four of their children. The Phillips family was related to the Hart family in two ways: Nancy Morgan was Elizabeth Morgan Hart's sister and T. J. Phillips' brother James Monroe Phillips married John and Ellender Hart's daughter Susannah.

Planned construction of the fifth runway at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport included preservation of the Flat Rock Cemetery and the Hart Cemetery. The map below and most of the narrative that follows were taken from documentation compiled by Garrow & Associates in 1998-1999 as part of the Federal Aviation Administration's compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act.

Garrow Archaeological Report (1995)

The Hart Cemetery is located behind an abandoned church building near 4860 West Fayetteville Road in College Park, Georgia. The planned construction of a fifth runway adjacent to Hartsfield-Atlanta International Airport will affect the historic Hart Cemetery. Pursuant to the Georgia Abandoned Cemeteries and Burial Grounds Act (§36-72), a permit application must be prepared for all proposed development projects that involve the preservation or removal of a cemetery. This report serves as the "Genealogist's Plan" required as part of the permit application outlined in Georgia Code §36-72. The cemetery will be preserved in place. The following pages present a family tree that comprehensively illustrates the Hart Family genealogy, as far as could be determined by the current research. 

The archaeological delineation conducted by TRC Garrow Associates, Inc., in April 1995 identified 14 graves in the Hart Cemetery marked with formal, inscribed headstones and an additional 69 unmarked graves, for a total of 83 graves. Jeffrey L. Holland and Kristin J. Wilson of TRC Garrow Associates, Inc., conducted the genealogical research on the Hart Cemetery in August and September 1997. Records were consulted at the Georgia Department of Archives and History and at the National Archives Branch in East Point, Georgia. Family documents in the possession of Mr. Tommy Hart Jones provided additional pertinent information. Ms. Melba Hart Dailey and Ms. Betty Ragsdale Conkle shared genealogical and historical information about the Hart family and their descendants. 

The property on which the cemetery is located has been in the possession of the Hart family since 1848, when it was purchased by John J. Hart and his first wife, Ellender (Nellie) Brown Hart. According to family documents drafted in 1943 by J. M. Hart, son of John J. and Nellie Hart, the hilltop now containing the cemetery was chosen by Nellie Hart as her preferred burial ground. She died in 1860 and was the first person interred at the Hart Cemetery. Subsequently, many of her descendants and relatives were buried there. 

William J. Hart, the second person buried in the Hart Cemetery, was a Confederate soldier who deserted during the war. He was traveling to Washington, D.C., to be granted a pardon for desertion by the United States government when he was hit and killed by a train. Family oral history accounts indicate that the family was opposed to slavery and did not wholeheartedly support the rebellion by the Southern states. 

Several of the sons of John J. Hart, by his first wife, Nellie, and his second wife, Elizabeth Morgan, remained on or adjacent to the original property. In fact, over a century later, many of their descendants are still living in the area, and several just recently moved as a result of airport expansion. However, possibly in response to an argument over inheritance, some of the children of John J. Hart, including George Stovall Hart, John James Marion Hart, Louis Gideon Hart, and Susannah C. Hart, moved to Alabama after 1880. Most of the members of these families were buried in Alabama. 

The Hart family was still using the Hart Cemetery as late as the 1940s, as indicated in family documents. Individuals reasonably believed to be buried in the Hart Cemetery are listed below. 

According to family documents, several other members of the Hart family were buried in nearby Flat Rock Cemetery, which belonged to Flat Rock Baptist Church. 

Several living descendants of the Hart family were notified of the proposed development project. Ms. Melba Hart Dailey was elected as chairperson and secretary of the Hart Cemetery in 1943. She continues to reside in a house near the cemetery and has been an active advocate for its preservation and care. Ms. Dailey and Mr. Tommy Hart Jones were key in notifying their relatives of the construction plans that would impact the environment in which the Hart Cemetery is located.

 

Notes on Methodology and Findings

The archaeological delineation of the Hart Cemetery was conducted by Patrick H. Garrow, Brandy Garrow, and Jake Enslin of TRC Garrow Associates, Inc., on April 13-14, 1995. The delineation was conducted to determine the number of graves present and their distribution, so that firm cemetery boundaries could be established. 

Eighty-three graves were located through systematic probing, using a steel probe with a replaceable, case-hardened steel tip; the probe was 3 feet long and an eighth inch in diameter. A probe station was placed every 6 inches along north-south transects, which were 4-5 feet apart along the entire landform. The delineation confirmed that the visual boundaries of the cemetery include all of the graves present. The cemetery appears to be confined to an area approximately 100 x 100 feet, which is consistent with Hart family documents pertaining to the cemetery.

The number of graves found in the Hart Cemetery is concordant with oral history in the Hart family. It was believed prior to the delineation that 60-80 graves were present in the cemetery by the 1930s. A few additional graves that postdate the 1930s were found during the probe investigation. 

Only 16 of the 83 graves had inscribed headstones; most graves were marked by fieldstones or formal headstones and footstones. The Hart Cemetery is organized into 11 north-south rows. The grave pits are oriented east-west, as is standard practice in Protestant cemeteries. Feature numbers were assigned to all anomalies believed to be graves and were given in sequence from the south end of the westernmost row to the north end of the easternmost row. 

The relatively large size and irregular shape of many of the adult graves are consistent with the Euro-American practice of grave digging by several family members. Typically, a pit was dug to a point that corresponded to the top of the coffin. From that point onward, the hole was excavated to the exact dimensions of the coffin, leaving a ledge that was normally about 6 inches wide.

 

Note: Although the archaeology is reported in the past tense, most of the recorded features remain intact.

ROW 1, the westernmost row in the cemetery, contained 12 features believed to be graves. Features were numbered from south to north.

Feature 1 measured 5.8 feet east-west by 2.0 feet north-south. The head and foot were marked by shaped fieldstones. A vault was discovered during probing. The size of the pit suggests that Feature 1 is the grave of an adult.

Feature 2 measured 4.15 feet east-west by 2.4 feet north-south. These dimensions are consistent with the grave of a child. The head and foot were marked by shaped fieldstones.

Feature 3 measured 8.2 feet east-west by 3.2 feet north-south. The pit probably contains the remains of an adult. The head and foot are marked by shaped fieldstones.

Feature 4 measured 7.2 feet east-west by 2.55 feet north-south. The headstone is a shaped fieldstone that was broken, and an unmodified fieldstone serves as the footstone. The size of the pit is consistent with that of an adult

Feature 5 measured 6.1 feet east-west by 2.55 feet north-south. The grave is marked by shaped fieldstones at the head and foot and may contain the remains of an adult.

Feature 6 measured 8.3 feet east-west by 3.0 feet north-south. Shaped fieldstones mark the head and foot. The grave is probably that of an adult.

Feature 7 measured 5.0 feet east-west by 2.3 feet north-south. Shaped fieldstones mark the head and foot. The relatively small size of the pit suggests that the grave is that of a child or adolescent.

Feature 8 measured 4.0 feet east-west by 3.5 feet north-south. Shaped fieldstones mark the head and foot. The footstone was lying flat on the ground surface. This is probably the grave of a child.

Feature 9 measured only 2.45 feet east-west by 1.7 feet north-south and is probably an infant's interment. Shaped fieldstones were present at the head and foot.

Feature 10 measured 3.65 feet east-west by 1.9 feet north-south and likely contains a child. Shaped fieldstones marked the head and foot of the pit.

Feature 11 measured 6.825 feet east-west by 3.3 feet north-south. Shaped fieldstones were found at the head and foot. The size of the pit is consistent with an adult's grave.

Feature 12 measured 7.8 feet east-west by 3.1 feet north-south. There was no headstone, but a shaped fieldstone was present at the foot. This is likely the grave of an adult.

ROW 2 was located east of Row 1 and was made up of two graves. An unassociated, shaped fieldstone inscribed with "Mrs. T. H." was found between Rows 1 and 2.

Feature 13 measured 2.7 feet east-west by 2.1 feet north-south. This probable child's grave was marked only by a shaped fieldstone footstone.

Feature 14 measured 3.6 feet east-west by 2.0 feet north-south. Shaped fieldstones were present at the head and foot of this probable child's grave.

ROW 3 was located east of Row 2. The two graves in the row were separated by a large magnolia tree. 

Feature 15 measured 4.45 feet east-west by 2.45 feet north-south. No markers were present on this child-sized grave.

Feature 16 measured 5.1 feet east-west by 2.9 feet north-south. A shaped fieldstone was present at the foot of this grave.

 

ROW 4, located east of Row 3, contained five graves.

Feature 17, the southernmost grave in Row 4, measured 7.25 feet east-west by 3.0 feet north­south. Shaped fieldstones marked the head and foot of the grave. A broken border of brick was present around the grave. At least some of the bricks were handmade, and some were set in mortar. The size of the pit suggests that this grave belongs to an adult.

Feature 18, located several feet north of Feature 17, measured 3.5 feet east-west by 1.6 feet north-south. Unmodified fieldstones were present at the head and foot of this probable child's grave.

Feature 19 measured 5.2 feet east-west by 2.75 feet north-south. Shaped fieldstones marked the head and foot. This grave is likely that of an adolescent.

Feature 20 measured 7.1 feet east-west by 3.75 feet north-south. The headstone and footstone were made of shaped fieldstones. The grave is outlined with upright, modified rock slabs. This interment probably contains the remains of an adult.

Feature 21 measured 5.75 feet east-west by 3.7 feet north-south. The headstone was a shaped fieldstone; no marker was present at the foot. The grave likely belonged to an adolescent or a small adult.

ROW 5 was located east of Row 4. Row 5 contained 11 graves, 10 of which are marked by inscribed headstones.

Feature 22 measured 7.13 feet east-west by 3.3 feet north-south. Shaped fieldstones marked the head and foot. According to family oral tradition, Elizabeth Brown Hart, the second wife of John J. Hart, was buried in this plot in 1892.

Feature 23 measured 8.7 feet east-west by 3.0 feet north-south. Shaped fieldstones marked the head and foot. Initials on the headstone read "J. J. H.". This grave is probably that of John J. Hart, who was born in 1816 and died in 1898. Vertical, shaped stones outline the grave.

Feature 24 measured 6.25 feet east-west by 2.9 feet north-south. Shaped fieldstones marked the head and foot. This grave is thought to contain the remains of Ellender Morgan Hart, the first wife of John J. Hart. Family documents record that she was the first person buried in the cemetery; she died in 1860. Vertical stones border the grave.

Feature 25 measured 7.8 feet east-west by 3.2 feet north-south. Shaped fieldstones marked the head and foot of the grave. The headstone bore the barely legible inscription "W. J. Hart". William Jasper Hart died in 1864 at the age of 20 years. A border of vertical stones surrounds the grave.

Feature 26 measured 7.6 feet east-west by 2.8 feet north-south. Formal, white marble stones were present at the head and foot of the grave. The inscription reads:

WALTER E.

HART

NOV. 15,1880

JAN. 13, 1909

The footstone was lying flat on the ground. A vault was detected below the ground surface during the probe investigation.

Feature 27 measured 8.9 feet east-west by 3.5 feet north-south. A formal, inscribed, white marble headstone and a white marble footstone were present. In addition to a carved motif of open gates and stars, the headstone read:

AT REST

MATILDA J.

HART

OCT. 16, 1860

HART

The footstone bore the initials, "M. J. H.". A border of vertically set, shaped stones surrounds the grave. An unassociated white marble base was found just north of Feature 27.

Feature 28 measured 5.0 feet east-west by 2.3 feet north-south. No markers were present. This grave may contain the remains of a child or adolescent.

Feature 29 measured 4.2 feet east-west by 2.8 feet north-south. The white marble footstone was inscribed with the initials "V. A. H.". A vandalized white marble headstone was present over the grave, but it does not match the footstone. The headstone on Feature 30 appeared to belong to Feature 29, and vice-versa. The grave is most likely that of Velma A. Hart, whose headstone (found above Feature 30) reads:

VELMA A. HART

DEC. 14, 1888

MAR. 13, 1889

ANOTHER LITTLE

ANGEL BEFORE

THE HEAVENLY

THRONE

Vertically set, shaped stones border the grave.
