Pulliam Family Cemetery

Commerating 222 years of history

WELCOME!

Overview: Thank you for taking the time to visit the Pulliam Family Cemetery Association's website. Our desire is that this website will be a useful tool in keeping association members, the community and other interested parties updated and informed as to the current events and progress of the Pulliam Family Cemetery Association. 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). While many cemeteries fall victim to neglect and criminal activity, the Pulliam Family Cemetery Association recognizes the importance of preventing this from happening by seeking help from its association members and community volunteers.

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 info@HistoricPulliamCemetery.com. Please send identifying or labeling information to accompany e-mailed images.

Special Note: We appreciate the ongoing cooperation provided by the property owner of the cemetery. His assistance is invaluable during our visits or for cemetery maintenance.

Your Help is Needed!

The Pulliam Family Cemetery Association (PFCA) is a self supporting voluntary association of descendants Robert Pulliam. Founded in 1800 the cemetery served as the final resting place for generations of Pulliam family members.

The PFCA was founded in 2005 and has maintained the cemetery since then. During this time we have cleared and cleaned the cemetery, erected a fence to protect the site and cleaned the headstones. We have the site cleaned annually.

Members of the family that lay at rest in the cemetery are American pioneers and veterans of two wars. They represent the American spirit and values that built our country.

Membership in the PFCA is open to all persons who are descendants of Robert and Eleanor Pulliam. The cost is only $35.00 per year for a family membership. Additionally, if you are not a family member but appreciate this rich history and would like to help us maintain the cemetery any contribution is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

David
