Overview: This web site is established and maintained by the Pulliam Family Cemetery Assocation as a service to the families and friends of the descendants of Robert Pulliam (born about 1740, died 26 April 1826) and Martha Eleanor (Nellie) Edwards Pulliam ( born about 1745, died about 1800).

According the Cemetery Law, Georgia Code 36-72-1 - The care accorded the remains of deceased persons reflects respect and regard for human dignity as well as cultural, spiritual, and religious values. The General Assembly declares that human remains and burial objects are not property to be owned by the person or entity, which owns the land or water where the human remains or burial objects are interred or discovered.

The Association: The Pulliam Family Cemetery Association was formed in 2005 to preserve and protect the historic Pulliam Cemetery, located in Elbert County near Dewy Rose, Georgia. The cemetery is located on Calhoun Road in Dewy Rose, Georgia approximately 3/4 of a mile from the intersection of Thirteen Folks Road and Calhoun Road on the left. We strongly encourage interaction and communication among descendant families and invite contributions to this web site. Input can be e-mailed to David Jones at ltcdjones@hotmail.com. Please send identifying or labeling information to accompany e-mailed images. For information on directions to the cemetery, contact David Jones at (865) 207-3811.

Pulliam Cemetery Fence Project completed!

 

A new fence now surrounds the finally resting place of the Pulliam Family Cemetery. Chapman Fence Company of Jefferson, Georgia completed a four foot high fence on April 8, 2010. The fence provides protection of the graves and keeps stray animals out of the property. Special thanks to our membership for making this project happen!

Celebrating Our Past - Where Our Ancestors came to Georgia::

Colonists’ Crossing


Inscription. “The Point,” where early settlers crossed into Georgia, is eight miles east of here. As soon as this are was ceded, Governor Wright opened a post at the confluence of the Broad and Savannah Rivers, known as Fort James. “The Point” became the gateway for settlers from Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina who registered there and secured their tracts of land. A land court at Dartmouth, which grew up around the fort, was held from September 1773 through June 1775 to open this section. In 1777 all this ceded land was, by the State Constitution, created into Wilkes County.

Location. 34° 3.709′ N, 82° 39.164′ W. Marker is near Elberton, Georgia, in Elbert County. Marker is at the intersection of Calhoun Falls Highway (Georgia Route 72) and Bobby Brown State Park Road, on the right when traveling east on Calhoun Falls Highway
