1801-Phillip Pool's will dated Sept 1801 in Hancock Co, Ga. lists as his daughter Mary Graybill. His
other children were Ephriam, Henry, James, Susannah Capps.
1820- Henry Graybill's will-Will Book L, pp 7-11-Hancock CO Ga.
The will was dated 14 Jan 1820. It was probated in 4 Nov 1822. The appraisal of his property was
dated 5 Nov 1822., mentions his "beloved wife Polly Graybill". He was buried at Choice Cemetery-in
rural Hancock CO Ga near Devereaux- Henry Graybill's tombstone disappeared from the Choice
Cemetery Vandals moved the tombstone to and turned up in Wilkinson Co GA --
descendants live there, so they placed the marker in the Gordon City Cemetery.
On Saturday, January 10, 2004, at 2:00 PM in historic Memory Hill Cemetery, Milledgeville, Georgia,
there will be the dedication of the replacement gravemarker for Henry Graybill of PA, 1741-1822,
who removed to SC and then to GA -- his actual grave is in the Choice Cemetery in Hancock Co, GA,
but access is poor to the site, if not impossible in rainy weather. This dedication sponsored by the
John Milledge Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, and the Nancy Hart Chapter, Daughters of
the American Revolution.
The new "pillow" marker made for Henry Graybill and it has been placed in the Choice/Graybill
Cemetery next to Tully Choice (a Rev. Patriot).
William Harper, Rev. Patriot, also buried this old, remote, very hard to find cemetery (road blocked by
hunters' locked gate). Wyatt Harper, War of 1812, also buried there. There are many "sinks" with no
markers except for one apparent grave with rocks for head and foot. A dedication ceremony will be
held before too long for the new marker for Henry, probably in historic Memory Hill Cemetery,
Milledgeville, due to the poor access and primitive road to the Choice Cemetery. Placing it was
delayed due to trying to figure out which cemetery it should be in and the Choice Cemetery is the one
(there is only one Choice Cemetery in Hancock County) and one goes thru Devereaux to get there
from Sparta, county seat of Hancock Co.
"Georgia Revolutionary War Soldiers Graves" 929.34:

If anyone has Henry's will in Hancock-I would appreciate a copy. Also a little proof on the children? Additions or subtractions?
This is what I have been able to piece together:
