NOTE 2./ 1864 CENSUS FOR RE-ORGANIZING THE GEORGIA MILITIA

SCHLEY COUNTY
13th Senatorial District-785th Militia District (later known as Lickskillett)

The re-organization of the militia for the state of Georgia, was by most at the time, felt to be vital for
the protection of the citizens of Georgia, during the later days of the war. All efforts to raise a militia
during these times met with failure as each time a unit was raised, it was taken into the Confederate Army. What was left at home, for the most part, were women, children, sole surviving sons, aged, invalids, recovering wounded, and those previously found unfit for service, for one reason or another. There was no homefront protection. There was no army of last resort.

This statewide census was ordered by Gov. Joe Brown in an attempt to find the necessary human and physical resources to provide a home guard.

NOTE 3: Historical Note: The Year Was 1818

The year was 1818 and the Convention of 1818decided the northern boundary of the United States and the southern boundary of Canada as being the 49th parallel, between the Lake of the Woods in Minnesota and the Rocky Mountains. The land west of the Rockies was under joint control of the U.S. and Britain. That boundary was settled in 1846 with the Oregon Treaty.

South of 49th parallel, Illinois was admitted as the twenty-first state. Initially the northern boundary was set just below the southern end of Lake Michigan, but at a population of around 36,000, Illinois was short of the necessary 60,000 minimum required for statehood. Illinois Congressional delegate, Nathaniel Pope, suggested that it would make better sense to move the boundary northward to include the City of Chicago and the area upon which the I & M Canal would be built, connecting the Great Lakes with the Mississippi River, and from there the Gulf of Mexico.

In the South, the First Seminole War resulted from the escalation of conflicts between the Seminoles and settlers who were moving into Seminole territory. The Seminoles provided a sanctuary for escaped slaves and this provided additional fuel for the fire. Andrew Jackson pursued the Seminoles into Florida, which was then under Spanish control. His victory led to the accession of Florida to the U.S. the following year.

In the Ohio River Valley, an epidemic of what was commonly called "milk sick" broke out and in October it claimed Abraham Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. At the time, the illness was attributed to many things, but only a few suspected the real culprit. It wasn't until the early 1900s that it was determined that milk from cows that had eaten snakeroot caused the illness. By then it had claimed many other victims, the majority of them infants.

In literature, a young Mary Shelley's most famous book-- Frankenstein--was published. 1818 also marked the first time the Christmas hymn Silent Night was sung in the small Austrian village of Oberndorf.

<> March 18, 1999.

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.
