Phillip Bynes and Atline Clark Bynes were probably born somewhere between 1825-1829. These records carry one of the richest sources of information about slaves during the 1800s in the state of Georgia. The cemetery is now listed as, “Greene-Rhodes Tract Cemetery.” There has to be further research done in the Jefferson, Louisville, Burke, and Waynesboro Georgia probate court records. They are all buried in the recently found African-American Erin Place Plantation Cemetery in rural Jefferson County somewhere in Louisville, GA. His father is Phillip Bynes (my great, great, great, grandfather) Unfortunately it does not list the birthplace of his father. On Nelson’s death certificate it lists both, his mother and father’s name. After obtaining a copy of Nelson Bynes’ death certificate, I found out that Nelson was born in Burke County and died at the age of 83 on Apin Louisville, GA. He has also written the name and death of his mother, Atline Clark Bynes – she died Aug(my great, great, great, grandmother) she was born in Jefferson County, GA. In this old bible, Nelson (in his own handwriting) wrote the actual years of his family’s births, deaths, marriages, and membership to the church. After probing her memory, she told me that she had (in her possession) her grandfather’s (Nelson Bynes’) bible and a picture of him and one of his sisters, with a host of other pictures from the 1800s. She (Albertha Lydia Beatrice Williams Dennis) is a walking history book of people who lived more than one hundred years ago. Without using any written documented history, this information has been stored in my grandmother’s incredible memory all these years. In tracing our family history in America starting in January 1994, our family on my grandmother’s side (which is my mother’s side of the family) is from Louisville, Georgia or Jefferson County, Georgia. Although each and every African-American born in America carries the blood which is from the direct ancestry of the strong and proud continent of Africa, we must start from some tangible descendent source here in North America. ![]()
