Ezekiel Dunagan (1771-1836) was buried alongside his wife, Lydia Ann Brown Dunagan, on their estate located in east Hall County, Gainesville, Georgia. Ezekiel was a veteran of the War of 1812, The Creek Indian Wars and a member of the Georgia Militia, first stationed at Ft. Early, Jackson County Georgia, in the mid 1790s until 1814. He was listed as a spy, which probably was a reference to him being a scout for the fort. Ezekiel was my 4th great grandfather and had 19 children, with descendants today in almost every state of the U. S. The original gravesite was marked only by the large natural stones on either side of the current granite grave marker. The landscape timbers are temporary until a decision is made to use either metal(black iron) fence enclosure or stone pavers. We needed something to contain the crushed marble stone so I used landscape timbers. Thanks to all those who helped with this preservation project.
