Section C
Tuesday, March 14, 1978
By LARRY SHEALY
When James Crowley died in 1828 and was buried in the family plot in South DeKalb County,
no one knew that R. H. Macy &Co. would one day need that area for a parking lot
But when the land was sold for Columbia Mall in 1965 the family took the "rest in peace"
seriously.
"Most people connected with it did not favor moving the bodies, said Mrs. Margaret Crowley,
75. There is a sentiment about that," she added. "They had been buried there for a great number
of years and there was a feeling they had a right to remain."
So when the Crowley heirs gave Macy's a quit-claim deed to the acre they owned, they got
in return a legal commitment from the company that the cemetery would be preserved and kept
up, said J. H. Crowley of Buford who negotiated the sale for the family. The same requirement
would be passed on to anyone who might buy the land from Macy's, Crowley said.
So James Crowley, pioneer, apparently,--for his grave is no longer marked -- still lies undis-
turbed, above the mall parking lot behind high granite walls and a locked gate.
The rectangular plot rises about 20 feet above the level of the parking lot near Davison's
department store. There is a neat border of grass at the base and a freshly painted rail around
the top of the wall.
Inside a wrought-iron gate, stairs lead to the top, where more than a dozen graves lie sur-
rounded by a flagstone floor.
There is a brass plaque at the entrance that dates the plot to an 1802 land grant from the
King of England, but Mrs. Crowley said she had been told that was in error, and she wanted the
record set straight. Sure enough, Atlanta's historian extraordinaire, Franklin Garrett, who
recorded the cemetery in 1931, confirmed that the English king was not in the land-granting
business at that time.
That part of the county was part of a tract ceded by the Creek Indian tribe in 1821, Garrett
said, and James Crowley was a pioneer in the area.
The original Crowley holding, according to family tradition, was the amount of land that the
first two brothers could ride around on horseback from sunup to sundown. One relative recalls
a story that the land once was so cheap that one of the brothers traded 700 acres for stud horse.
The rest of the land was sold off through the years, but the family had kept the acre the
cemetery was on until it was sold to Macy's.
Garrett surmises that the cemetery started with Crowley's death. When Garret rode his
bicycle into the "sylvan sort of setting" in 1931, he recalled that Crowley's grave was marked
with a pile of stones. According to Garrett and some family members, there were more than 14
graves in the plot and the unmarked ones were not included.
NOTE by Ragan Pruitt: At one time the land was owned by Vinnie Hudgins (brother of Jeffrey
Clark Hudgins, Sr. and Aunt of Nell Hudgins) and her husband, Redmond Hill, and they
operated a dairy farm there.

OLDEST BURIAL GROUND
Hugh Park
REMEMBER, a few weeks ago we wrote about Benjamin C. Crowley, whose family is buried
next to Davison's on Columbia Road, at Memorial Drive?
It read: The family cemetery of Benjamin C. Crowley and a number of his descendants, heirs,
including the Hudgins and Webb families. Their home was located 100 yards southeast of this
area. They settled here in 1802. This was a land grant from the King of England."
Robert P. Dews of Edison and Franklin Garrett, director of the Atlanta Historical Society,
says that DeKalb wasn't settled until 1821. "Let's face it, it would have been pretty dangerous
to try and put up a little fort like Standing Peach Tree on the Chattahoochee prior to the date the
Indians ceded the land," writes Mr. Dews.
Franklin Garrett on Dec. 11, 1931, went out into the distant woods--that is now Davison's
parking lot -- and recorded the inscriptions on the burial stones.
"No whites made permanent settlement in this area as early as 1802," he says. "Neither
did the King of England make any land grants hereabouts. Indeed, the successful culmination
iof the American Revolution effectually stopped such former Royal prerogatives."
Benjamin Crowley (the one named on the inscription) was born in 1812 and died in 1869.
But Mr. Garrett thinks that James Crowley, pioneer of the family in DeKalb County, arrived
probably in 1822, coming from the older settled Oglethorpe County. He died in 1828, having
emigrated from Ireland where he was of the French-Irish descent. He was the first body
laid there.
Ben F. Hudgins, 85, whose mother and father and grandmother and grandfather are buried
in a vault about 60 feet wide and 35 high, 100 yards from Davison's, says that was the exact
spot where the family was buried. "I talked before a historical society," he said, "and they said
it was probably the oldest graveyard around here."
A direct descendent of the Crowleys, he said his mother took him as a child to rake and
hoe the underbrush in the woods that is now a parking lot. He is a veteran of World War I and
served overseas in the engagement.
"When it came to Davison's building a parking lot on the site of the old cemetery -- we had
owned 500 acres --we thought we were entitled to our burying ground. There were slaves buried
there but they were ploughed up because they had no head stones. It looked bad for Davison's
to be so near our dead, so we had the vault built where they were buried.
Charles W. Seagraves has one of the seven keys to the barred door that leads to the top
of the vault. His great-granddaddy and great-great-grandmother are buried on the top of the
25-foot-high monument.
Also a descendent of the Crowleys, Mr. Seagraves and wife unlocked the door and went to
the top of the monument that is a square in itself, and found there six rusty old tombstones. They
are the last remaining of the generations buried there. There were many Georgians, settlers and slaves, that were buried, ashes to ashes, but the six old rusty tombstones are all that remain.
"Kids began breaking through the barred door -- it is about five feet high (Ragan Pruitt who
copied this believe this should be "wide") and eight feet tall. I think that Ben F. Hudgins, Mrs.
R. T. Hill, Mrs. Mary Allgood have other keys," Mr. Seagraves said.
Ben F. Hudgins, when we interviewed earlier, said "somebody prowling around broke the
key in the lock of the burying ground."
