The following article appeared in The Times, Gainesville, GA
on 8 May 1994 and was authored by Sybil McRay, genealogical
columnist for the newspaper:

"In the northern part of Hall county just off GA 52 from Lulu
to Clermont is an old family cemetery which has two graves
marked with headstones. I remember walking through the yard
of a home to record these inscriptions:

"Pollie Highsmith, born May 6, 1794, died May 28, 1873.
Elizabeth Melvanus Highsmith, infant of J. C. and Sarah L.
Highsmith, born April 13, 1856, died August 15, 1856.

"Pollie is a nickname for Mary and because of burial date
of infant, this burial ground was used as early as 1856.
There are possibly other unmarked graves. The Highsmiths
have many descendants in Hall County. The local familis
descend from Highsmiths of Virginia and Halifax Co., NC.

"The Pollie who was buried in 1873 was the wife of John
Highsmith and was nee Mary Cason. Their son, John Cason
Highsmith, was born Jan 16, 1816 in Elbert Co., and died
Feb 28 1901. He was married Aug 26, 1847 in Elbert Co. to
Sarah L. Brown, daughter of Dr. Hiram Brown and Sallie
Harben. She was born Jan 16, 1824, Elbert Co., and died
Sep 7, 1881. John C. and Sarah are buried in Holly Springs
Church cemetery.

"John C. and Sarah Brown Highsmith were parents of nine
children. The first three were born in Elbert Co. and the
other six were born in Hall Co.
1. Mary Angeline Highsmith was born June 24, 1848. She
married James Newton Miller.
2. John Hiram Highsmith was born March 18, 1850 and was
married first to Missouri Ann Davis. His second wife
was America Priscilla Allen.
3. Sarah Cornelia Highsmith was born Dec 5, 1853. She was
married to Gibbs Rogers.(There are several intermarriages
with the Rogers family.)
4. Nancy Ophelia Highsmith was born March 3, 1855 and was
married to M. Heden Miller.
5. Elizabeth M. Highsmith was the infant, buried in family
graveyard where later her grandmother was interred.
6. Robert Adam Monks Highsmith was born Sep 15, 1858. He
married Myrtle Bell Gibbs.
7. Laura Ann Perlany Highsmith was born Dec 5, 1860. She
was married in November 1901 to Van Lomax.
8. Thomas Edward Highsmith, born April 1, 1863. He was
probably named for a brother of his father who was born
1827 and was married in Elbert Co. to Mary Ann Thornton.
A death record of Thomas E., son of John C. and Sarah,
gives this information; Thomas Edward Highsmith was a
farmer, born in Hall County. He died March 25, 1931. His
father 'Cason' was born in South Carolina, and his mother
Sarah or 'Sallie' was born in Hart Co
9. Milly Melissa Jane Highsmith, born Feb 4, 1868, and
married John Bartow Skelton.
