Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 187, shows: a child of AENCHBACKER died aged 1 year of diarrhea and was buried 14 JUL 1850 (from "June and July 1850, Sexton's Report of deaths in the city," dated 06 AUG 1850. It is understood that, rather than being accounts of death in Columbus, these periodic reports by the sexton recorded burials in the municipal cemeteries. They include persons who died outside of Columbus but were buried in the city, and they exclude persons who died in the city but were interred elsewhere; the sexton then was Jeremiah TERRY).
This grave is evidently not identifiably marked. The only areas open for burials at that time were the original burying ground, now referred to as the Old Cemetery section, and Section 1, which was opened up for interments in 1845.
