    Notes:

    NOTE1./ The entire 1860 collection of Sumter County, Georgia, census images was reviewed at ancestry.com on 11-1-2002, by this author. The Thomas L Singletary, (age 30), family # 690, was living next door to the Artur Singletary, (age 40), family # 691. The only other Singletary in this 1860 Sumter census was a John Singletary, age 12, living with Ax (age 33), and his wife? Ridley, (age 18), Bafs? family #536. Beside this husband and wife?, this John Singletary, is the only other resident of this household. Interestingly enough, Family # 689, living beside these two aforementioned Singletary families, is that of Rise and Susan Bafs? and their 3 children. Thus, it would seem that this isolated John Singletary, age 12, would be a relation of some kind to the Singletary families # 690 & #691, and may have been arranged by the next door neighbour relationship of the Bafs family. Clearly however in 1860 in Sumter County Georgia, there were only two distinct Singletary family units with heads of household.

    NOTE 2./ In the 1860 Sumter census, Families # 672 and # 685 are of the surname Suber, and both parents were born in South Carolina. However, there was no enumeration of an Ellen Hazeltine Suber, who would later become John Lock Singletary's wife. It seems that Ellen Hazeltine had married her 1st husband, Jesse Smith by the 1860 census, and was living with him in Randolph County, Georgia.

    NOTE 4./ Short summary of the Battle of JACKSON, MISS. MAY 14TH, 1863 when John L Singketary was taken as a POW.

    Jackson, Miss., May 14, 1863. 15th and 17th Army Corps. After the occupation of Raymond the Federals moved on Jackson, Sherman's corps (the 15th) moving by way of Mississippi Springs and McPherson's (the 17th) advancing on the Clinton road. During the early morning the rain came down in torrents, making the roads heavy and in some places almost impassable. By 10 a.m. Sherman was within 3 miles of the city and the sound of McPherson's guns was heard on the left. The enemy was discovered in the front of Sherman at a small bridge, and as the head of the Federal column appeared opened
    with artillery. The 2nd and 3rd brigades of Tuttle's division were deployed to the right and left of the road and Waterhouse's and Spoor's batteries, placed on commanding ground, soon silenced the enemy's pieces, the whole Confederate force retiring about half a mile into a skirt of woods in front of Jackson. Mower's brigade (2nd) followed closely until the enemy took refuge in his intrenchments. The banks of the stream at this point were high bluffs, and the river could be crossed only at the bridge which the enemy did not attempt to destroy. As far as could be seen on either side were the Confederate intrenchments and a steady artillery fire which enfiladed the road was kept up from all points.
    The 95th Ohio was taken from the reserve and sent to feel the Enemy's flanks. It was soon discovered that the intrenchments were abandoned where they crossed the railroad and Steele's division was pushed into the city that way, the rest of the column following on the main road. McPherson, meantime, had also been fighting severely but entered the city almost simultaneously with Sherman. The Federal loss was 42 killed, 251 wounded and 7 captured or missing. Brig.-Gen. John Gregg, commanding the Confederate forces at Jackson, roughly estimates his loss at 200 killed, wounded and missing; Union
    reports make it over 800.

    NOTE 5./ e-mail from Joanne Gorday 9-12-2003
    Ellen would have been born about 1841 in Georgia. She would have married a Smith in about 1857 and had two children born to that marriage, Florene, born about 1858 and Ida born about 1861. I found a marriage record for John and Ellen Singletary in Sumter County, Georgia, not Schley. They were married October 30, 1856. From these dates, I surmised that the Smith husband was probably killed in the Civil War. Aunt Hazel verified that Birdie (Grandma Moore) talked about two half sisters.

    NOTE 6./ Historical Perspective: The Year Was 1873

    The year was 1873 and much of the world was entering into a long period of economic depression. The beginning of the Long Depression is typically marked by the crash of the Vienna stock market, which sent ripples across Europe and eventually the United States with the fall of Jay Cooke & Company. The Cooke investment bank was heavily invested in the overbuilt railroad system which was beginning to fail. With the fall of this prominent company, a financial panic ensued and the New York Stock Exchange had to close for ten days. Railroads, factories, banks, and businesses had to close their doors resulting in skyrocketing unemployment rates. The Long Depression would last into the 1890s.

    There were other smaller scale disasters in 1873. The British SS Atlantic out of Liverpool (with a stop at Queenstown) hit a submerged rock en route to New York and was wrecked in heavy seas off Nova Scotia. It is estimated that 545 of the 952 passengers perished.

    In Baltimore, Maryland, a fire began in the factory of Joseph Thomas and Sons and spread over ten acres of the city. Photos of the fire and aftermath can be found online at the Maryland Historical Society.

    A cholera epidemic swept through Birmingham, Alabama. Below is an interesting excerpt from a report from Mortimer H. Jordan, who was secretary of the Jefferson County Medical Society of Birmingham, Alabama, at the time of the epidemic (found on the website of the Reynolds Historical Library at the University of Alabama at Birmingham).

    The treatment adopted was the opium and mercurial. When the stomach seemed so inactive that nothing made any impression upon it, an emetic of mustard, salt, ginger, and pepper, suspended in hot water, in many cases produced a warm glow over the surface of the body in a few moments. . . . Diuretics produced no good results. No condition in life, sex, or age escaped. The sucking babe and those of extreme age suffered alike from its ravages.

    Before closing this paper, justice demands that we should briefly allude to the heroic and self sacrificing conduct, during this epidemic, of that unfortunate class who are known as 'women of the town.' These poor creatures, though outcasts from society, anathematized by the church, despised by women and maltreated by men, when the pestilence swept over the city, came forth from their homes to nurse the sick and close the eyes of the dead. It was passing strange that they would receive no pay, expected no thanks; they only went where their presence was needed, and never remained longer than they could do good. While we abhor the degradation of these unfortunates, their magnanimous behavior during these fearful days has drawn forth our sympathy and gratitude.

    Further north and west, Jesse James and the James- Younger gang robbed a Rock Island train near Adair, Iowa. This first train robbery netted the gang more than $2,300, but was most likely a disappointment for the gang. They were expecting a $100,000 gold shipment, but that shipment had been switched to another train at the last moment.

    North of the border in Canada, the Dominion Parliament had more lawful goals in mind when it established the North-West Mounted Police, the predecessor of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Canada was growing and in 1873 Prince Edward Island joined the federation as Canada's smallest province.

    In music, the song Home on the Range was born (Daniel Kelly & Brewster M. Higley). The tune went on to become the state song of Kansas and is known around the world.

    NOTE 2./ History of Presidency during this time period

    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.

    Arthur married John Ann LOCK on 14 Oct 1833 in Laurens County, Georgia. John (daughter of John LOCK and Ann CONNELLY) was born in 1815 in Bladen County, North Carolina; died before 1880 in Sumter County, Georgia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    I have information on descendants of Thomas W. Singletary and the ancestors of his daughter, Martha Sincletary. Martha was born 30 Sep 1814, Telfair Co., GA, married 1840, Phillip Walker, born 1814, NC, died 1893, Martha died 17 Mar 1869, Schley Co., GA. Her father and mother were Thomas W. Singletary and Anna Barrow.
    Thomas W. Singletary, born (1770-75), Camden, Sumter Co., SC, married ca. 1800, in Sumter Co., SC, Anna Barrow, born 1777, NC, (daughter of Taylor Barrow and Mary Purvis). Thomas died 1842, Telfair, Pulaski Co., GA, and Martha died 30 Jul 1858, Schley Co., GA.
    Thomas W. Singletary and Anna Barrow had the following known children: Thomas W., Arthur, William, Elijah, Nathan J., Martha, Sarah "Sally", Ziba B., and James T. Singletary. Details are in the genealogy report files.
    The 1820 Census showed Thomas and Anna with 7 boys and 3 girls. ((Males: 2 age 0-10; 2 age 10-16; 3 age 16-26; 1 age 45+. Females: 3 age 0-10; 1 age 16-26. No Slaves))
    The 1830 Census showed 5 boys, 4 girls. Thomas moved to GA in 1800. Anna, in 1850 lived in Sumter Co., GA. Her obituary dated 9/22/1858 said she left 7 children.
    I do not claim credit for the research on these people, but I believe the information is valid.

    NOTE 3./ Historical Note: The Year Was 1789

    The year was 1789 and in the U.S. a young government was beginning to take shape. In its first nationwide election, the popular Revolutionary War general, George Washington, became the country's first president and was sworn in at the first capitol of the United States, Federal Hall in New York City.

    In France, a rebellion was underway and with the storming of the Bastille prison, the French Revolution began. In its reporting on the subject, The Times of London, England had the following to say of the conflict:

    The spirit of liberty which so long lay in a state of death, oppressed by the hand of power, received its first spark of returning animation, by the incautious and impolitic assistance afforded to America. The French soldier on his return from that emancipated continent, told a glorious tale to his countrymen--"That the arms of France had given freedome to thirteen United States, and planted the standard of liberty on the battlements of New York and Philadelphia." The idea of such a noble deed became a general object of admiration, the [facets?] of a similar state were eagerly longed for by all ranks of people, and the vox populi had this force of argument--"If France gave freedom to America, why should she not unchain the arbitrary fetters which bind her own people.

    Later that year, the Marquis de Lafayette, with the advice of Thomas Jefferson who was at the time the American ambassador to France, drafted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. It was adopted by France's National Assembly in August and ratified by Louis XVI in October.

    There was unrest in other parts of the world as well. Sweden and Russia were at war, and briefly, Norway had joined the conflict, although a peace treaty was signed in July 1789.

    In a smaller, but well-known conflict, the mutiny on the H.M.S. Bounty was also in the year 1789. On April 28, part of the crew of the Bounty, led by Fletcher Christian, mutinied and set Captain William Bligh and eighteen crewmembers adrift. Bligh managed to get the boat some 3,600 miles to Timor. Some of the mutineers were captured and prosecuted--three were hanged, while others, including Fletcher Christian ended up on Pitcairn Island, where some of their descendants live to this day.

    In 1789, there was an epidemic of influenza in New England, New York, and Nova Scotia, which resulted in many deaths due to secondary cases of pneumonia. The new president was among those who fell ill. He caught a cold while visiting Boston, and later, was affected more seriously with influenza, which was dubbed Washington Influenza.
