    Notes:

    Item1./
    History of Worth County
    Worth County was created in 1853 from Dooly and Irwin Counties. Worth County was named for Major General William James Worth, son-in-law of Zachary Taylor. Major William A. Harris, a leader in organizing the new county, served under General Worth in the Mexican War.

    The county's first known inhabitants were the Apalachee Indians. Their nation was destroyed in a war between the Florida Spanish and the Carolina English. When Oglethorpe arrived more 30 years later to establish the Colony of Georgia, the area was occupied by the Lower Creek Indians.

    San Bernard was the original County Seat. It's location was approximately where the Isabella Cemetery is now. The County Seat was moved a mile east from San Bernard and named Isabella in 1854. In 1872, the Brunswick & Albany (now the Seaboard Coast Line) Railroad was built, passing 3 miles south of Isabella. Towns began to be formed along the railway line, like Sumner, Poulan and Sylvester and in 1904, after a bitter power struggle, the County Seat was moved to to it's permanent spot: Sylvester.

    Item 4./

    Historical Note: Andrew Jackson was President in 1832 when he ordered all Indians east of the Mississippi, to be moved West. This was one of the sadest edicts of this and for all time in the History of the United States. Andrew Jackson imposed his will on the Presidency, the people, the banking industry and the landscape of America. He was not a good delegator, and fired the members of his Cabinet, in some instances several times, when they would not do his exact bidding. He was a born fighter and dualed several times, and had two lead balls in his body from these contests. Jackson was censured by his Democratic Party for firing 3 Secretary of the Treasurys in order to change the Federal Banking methods. He was the only President to be censured. He was given the name "Jackass" by his Party, which soon became the symbol assumed by his Democratic Party. He was the first and last President to leave the Government debt free at his parting. Andrew Jackson used the Presidential veto 12 times, supassed only by Andrew Johnson (25), who took over after the assassination of Lincoln. As a final note, Johnson later missed being impeached by only one vote, because he did not want to punish the South, after the Civil War.

    History of Red Oak Baptist Church, Doles, Ga. Worth County, Georgia.
    Red Oak Baptist Church was founded November 5, 1864. Mike Champion gave the land for the Red Oak Baptist Church to be built upon. The church got its name because of the large Red Oak trees on this plot. The first church was made from hewn logs. It was 30 feet wide and 40 feet long. The hurch does not have the records when the second church was built, because of a fire in the clerk's home many ol records are gone forever. But the second church was a frame building with shutters for doors and windows and it had no ceiling. One service per month on the first Sunday was held then. The present church is the third one and it was built in 1890. The charter members include the BROWN family, as well as mention of DOWNS family; and many more surnames, Hobby, etc. Luerana Brown was a Charter Member. The church house was built near the southeast corner of Lot of Land # 90; in the 16th District of Worth County, Ga. Red Oak Baptist Church had had thirty-four pastors through the years. The cemetery has two parts; one enclosed in the fence and the second part next to the Creek that runs nearby for those families who had sharecroppers, etc. There were in the past both black and white church members attending this church. The first black members in 1855 (8) of them (this was before the Civil War). The first lights for the church were kereosene lamps, then in 1910 gas lights were added, and then 1940 the church added electricity. Red Oak Baptist Church celebrated its 100th Year Anniversary October 31, 1954.

    Notes:

    NOTE 1./ Historical Reference: The Year Was 1829

    In the U.S., Andrew Jackson became the seventh president of the United States. A hero of the War of 1812, he had also been a senator and representative for Tennessee, and Justice of the Tennessee Superior Court. Nicknamed "Old Hickory", he appealed to the common man and held a public reception at his inauguration at the White House.

    The U.S. had banned the importation of slaves in 1808, but unfortunately, it didn't stop the trade. In 1829, a boat assigned to patrol the African Coast looking for slavers, intercepted the "Feloz" and a group from the interceptor boarded the ship. A first-hand account of the horrific conditions from one of the group, Rev. Robert Walsh, can be found online at EyeWitness to History.com.

    That year, Eng and Chang Bunker, the original Siamese twins arrived in America where they traveled around in exhibitions. They went on to tour through England and other countries in Europe for the next ten years and later settled in a small town in North Carolina, where they married two sisters.

    In the world of technology, William Austin Burt invented and received the first American patent for the "typographer"--an early version of the typewriter. Burt also held patents for a number of other inventions and did extensive surveying in the areas that are now Michigan and Wisconsin.
