    In the mid-1970s, a hunter mentioned something to Mr. Harris that got his attention, something about a forgotten place much dearer to his heart than the Smith mill. The hunter said he'd stumbled into a tombstone that read, "Abraham Marshall."
    
    For years, the Marshall homestead had been lost to the members of Kiokee Baptist Church, which pioneer preacher Daniel Marshall, Abraham's father, founded in 1772. It is the oldest Baptist church in Georgia still in existence, and the origins of what would become the state's largest denomination, according to Mr. Harris, a co-author of Georgia's First Continuing Baptist Church.
    
    Mr. Harris, 80, a retired Baptist minister and a Kiokee church member, found the grave on overgrown land along Tubman Road in Columbia County. The marker could barely be seen among the vines and foliage, he said. A rickety wooden shack stood nearby.
    
    Deed records confirmed that the house had belonged to Mr. Marshall, and that Washington Road ran beside it. A massive roadbed, evidence of an old pathway, engulfs that section of Tubman Road.
