Old Cobb County Cemetery

Daniel Dana Scribner MD and family. Upland in the Cochran Shoals Unit of the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area in Cobb County. The best I can deduce from previous Ancestry searches is that has was a Yale trained physician who lived in that area and served the local farmers. Probably not a Civil War casualty given that troop movement in this area did not occur until a year later. Probably a cholera victim since it was rampant at this time in history. All speculation, however. I have asked Jerry Hightower of the NPS (a renown regional historian) if he knew where the original homestead was, but he too could only speculate it was not far upland from this site, but he could not be specific.
