About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Benjamin Braswell was a early settler and philanthropist in Morgan County, Georgia. At his death in 1817, he left his estate to the county for the care and education of orphans. This successful endeavor became known as the Braswell Fund and is still in operation today. The reconstructed graves of Benjamin Braswell and his wife Emily are in Braswell Park on the edge of Morgan County with Walton County, near Good Hope. A tall wrought iron fence protects the graves from vandalism. The inscriptions read:
Benjamin Braswell, Patron and Benefactor, Founder of Braswell Fund, died Mar. 1817 at age 68 yrs.
Emily Braswell, wife of Benjamin Braswell, died at age 60 yrs.
