| 17101 | NOTE 1./ Fifth Generation < "Lott Whiddon, prominent pioneer citizen of Irwin County, was born in North Carolina in 1797, a son of William Whiddon, R. S.,and his wife (q.v.). He came with his parents to Emanuel County, Ga., about 1815, and a year later he married Judith Dorminy, daughter of John Dorminy, who was living at the time in Laurens County but later moved to Irwin County. She was born in 1797 in Montgomery County. Mr. Whiddon moved to Appling County when it was first opened to settlers, but three or four years later moved to Irwin County and acquired lands in the 2nd land district and made his home there until his death June 22, 1880. His wife survived and died August 8, 1885. They were buried in the Whiddon Cemetery near Ocilla. Mr. and Mrs. Whiddon were members of the Primitive Baptist Church. She united first, and was received by baptism Feb 17, 1833, into Dorminy's meeting-house membership. Mr. Whiddon was similarly received June 27, 1840. They were both dismissed by letter July 22, 1853. Their subsequent church membership has not been traced. | WHIDDON, Lott (I3298)

His home was located eight miles north of Isabella on the old Isabella-Warwick public road in the western limits of old Irwin County (territory made into Worth County, 1854). Mr. and Mrs. Whiddon lived there until their deaths, with the exception of two years they spent in Texas.

| 17104 | NOTE 1./ 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. | SUMNER, RS Thomas2 Hunt (I14937)

| 17108 | NOTE 1./ In the late 1700's Isaac Marchant, Sr. moved from North Carolina to Georgia. This was around 1790 because in 1794 he was shown as a taxpayer in Warren County. He was listed as a Quaker and owned 400 acres on Big Creek in Washington County and 143 acres on Little Briar Creek in Washington County. He was also shown as a member and deacon in Little Briar Creek Baptist Church, Warren County around the 1800's and before. He must have changed from a Quaker to a Baptist after moving to Georgia. | MARCHANT, Isaac Sr (I15469)

By James R. Peacock. Published in 1998, publisher unknown. This is a 392 page book. Dr Peacock's work is very thorough & well documented. This volume has an all-name index. The back of the book includes some history on LOCK/LOCKEs in England. Dr. Peacock's address is: 1330 11th St., Clermont FL 34711. NOTE 3./ Historical Note: In Colonial South Carolina, land was granted under various laws and statutes as decreed by the King of England and/or the Lords Proprietors. Any free person could appear before the Council and petition for a survey to be granted land. The amount of land awarded depended upon a head of family status which at one time was valued at 100 acres for the head of household and 50 acres for all others of the household including slaves. This amount changed periodically depending upon the desire of the government to attract settlers to the colony. After the petition for a survey was submitted, the person appeared before the Council and petitioned for a grant to pass which authorized the surveyor to measure out the land. The Lord's Proprietors were British nobles who were loyal to King Charles, II. of England and assisted him to return from exile and regain his throne. To reward them for their contributions, on March 24, 1663, the King gave them ownership of a large tract of land in the colonies. This was a very large segment of North America running from the Atlantic to the Pacific, lying between 36 degrees north latitude on the north and 31 degrees on the south. In 1665, the charter was amended to raise the north line 30 minutes and extend the south line by two degrees. Their claim, which was called Carolina, then included the part of North America that now includes the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, a small part of Missouri, most of Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, the southern half of California, the southern tip of Nevada, the northern part of Florida, and a part of northern Mexico. This huge section of continent was granted entirely to eight men, to be financed by them for their profit, and to rule with the help or interference of any local government as they might permit. The Lords Proprietors were: the Duke of Albemarle, Lord Ashley, Lord Berkeley, Sir William Berkeley, Sir George Carteret, the Earl of Clarendon, Sir John Colleton, and Lord Craven. It was their names which were given to the early counties, districts, and which continue even now as names of counties and places. The most important of these was Lord Ashley (Anthony Ashley Cooper), who laid out the street plan for the new city of Charles Town, South Carolina. His secretary was the philosopher John Locke who wrote the Fundamental Constitution of Carolina. In 1719, the Lords Proprietors gave up their claims to property in the Colony. This probably occurred because they failed to understand the value of their possessions which they found could not be managed well from so great a distance. Arrangements were finally made to return the Colony to the King of England in 1731. The land records were left in great confusion as a result of their withdrawal and lack of control of changes made during the interim. To determine ownership, an act was passed in 1731 called "The Memorials". This required land owners to file a brief statement of their ownership, known as a memorial. | LOCK, Leonard (I10190)

| 17125 | NOTE 1./ Postulation by Robert Millie 2-2-2003 The connection between the Millie's and Jacobs may well have originated between Henry Thomas Beale Millie, Harry WR Millies father, and either/both George and John David Jacobs, Daisy's grandfather and father. There are two possible links thus far. 1./ All 3 of HTB Millie and George and John David Jacobs were members of the 7th Fusiliers that participated in the Riel Rebellion mustered out of London Ontario. (I need to include this additional information even though no one asked for this when I offered it before. This is the link that describes in full the journey that these 3 ancestors encountered in 1885, even if they did not see any military action. If you don't read it or print it out you may want to bookmark it, to later get an actual feel for their lives in 1885 including the accolades of the supportive crowds as they left on their journey. ) Alexander Campbell's An Acount of the Advance of the 7th Fusiliers of London ....... I don't recall the mention of the number of men involved in this troop movement, but they spent from April till July of 1885 together, and at minimum knew each other by face. 2./ From the Grant Thompson album, the detailed obit of George Jacobs titled "George Jacobs dies; Served the empire in many campaigns", the 2nd paragraph 2/3 of the way down. The statement is made " For a considerable period he was employed at the old Grand Trunk carshops here". The following e mail will include an attached adobe acrobat v 5.0 document that is a listing from the 1913 London City telephone directory. It lists HTB, Harry, and an additional daughter/sister, Ethel, all living at 928 Princess Ave. { Notice that there are no telephone numbers .......'This is your Operator"}. The interesting point of fact here is that Henry T Millie's occupation is listed as Clerk, at the Grand Trunk Railroad .......... while George was employed at the old Grand Trunk carshops ( from above) That's all I got for now, save for the fact that it was on a Grand Trunk railway car that the 7th Fusiliers started their journey west in 1885.

Britain and Europe’s economic woes preceded troubles in the U.S. and led to a reduction in investments in the United States. Economic policy, with heavy reliance on the gold standard, also contributed to the depression, as did the overproduction of agricultural products from a growing farm belt. Farmers had been moving westward with the new ability to transport produce via expanded rail systems and the additional goods drove market prices down. The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad collapsed in February and more than 15,000 companies and 500 banks would follow leading to a sharp rise in unemployment. Double-digit unemployment rates peaked at an estimated 18 percent in 1894 and would remain through the crisis. Despite financial troubles, the country put on its best face as the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 opened in Chicago, Illinois. More than 27 million visitors attended this world-class event, taking advantage of railroads to converge on Chicago to explore the various venues filled with the latest mechanical innovations, agricultural advances, and cultural treasures. Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show thrilled audiences as food and exhibits from around the world amazed spectators. In Colorado, women won the right to vote by election and New Zealand became the first self-governing country to grant women's suffrage. The independent Kingdom of Hawaii was invaded by United States Marines in 1893 and its Queen Lili'uokalani surrendered her throne to a provisional government made up of white sugar plantation owners. | JACOBS, Marguerite (I71)

| 17130 | NOTE 1./ SCHLEY COUNTY, GA - BIOS Henry Harrison Singletary < Memoirs of Georgia, Vol. II, Atlanta, Ga., page 823 Published by The Southern Historical Association in 1895. SCHLEY COUNTY Henry Harrison Singletary, merchant-planter, La Crosse, Schley county, Ga., son of Nathan P. and Cassandra (Wright) Singletary, was born in Sumter county, Feb. 4, 1841. His grandfather, Thomas W. Singletary, was a native of South Carolina, came to Georgia when a young man and became identified with the leading planters of Georgia. Mr. Singletary’s father was born in Laurens county, Ga., removed to Taliaferro county, Ga., and in 1836 came to Sumter county. Being a skilled mechanic he engaged in various kinds of woodwork, and helped to build a number of boats to run on the Ocmulgee river. Later in life he gave his entire time and attention to his plantation. His only public service was as a justice of the inferior court. Mr. Singletary was raised on the plantation and was educated at the common schools of the county. Early in 1862 he enlisted in Company B, Capt. J.C. Dunlap, Forty-sixth Georgia regiment, as a private, and served through the war. He was in the battles of Missionary Ridge, Chickamauga, Kennesaw Mountain, Jonesboro, Nashville and Franklin. He came home from the war with only a few slight wounds as souvenirs, and without a dollar in the world went to work on a plantation. By close attention, hard work, by enterprise and good management he has forged ahead until he ranks among the foremost of Schley county’s farmers and businessmen. He has now more than 2,000 acres of choice land, which includes an excellent productive 100 acre peach orchard. In addition to his extensive planting interests he conducts one of the largest general merchandise stores in the county at La Crosse. Enterprising, prosperous and popular, Mr. Singletary has a bright future before him. Mr. Singletary has but two children: Lydia C., and Cattie L., both of whom are graduates of the Southern Female College, La Grange, Ga.

Vol. XV No. 30 DEATH OF JUDGE SINGLETARRY Hon. Henry Singletarry, of LaCrosse, died in New York City last Friday morning whither he went a week or so ago seeking medical treatment. An operation for throat trouble was performed on last Tuesday and from that time on he gradually grew weaker and weaker. Mrs. Singletarry was notified of his condition on last Thursday morning, and immediately started for New York, but when she reached Atlanta, a telegram announcing his death was awaiting her. However, she continued her journey on, returning home Monday morning on the same train, with Judge Singletarry's body. His was a very sad death indeed, and was a great shock. Judge Singletarry was one of Schley county's most influential citizens, and perhaps, the most successful businessman in the county. He started in life poor and by his energy and straight forward business methods he had accumulated a nice little fortune, when the sad end came. His estate will amount to something like seventy five thousand dollars, which was divided between his widow, daughter, and grandchildren. His daughter, Mrs. Edwin Bell, being named Executrix of his estate. Funeral services were conducted from his home, at LaCrosse, Monday morning, Rev. W.K. Dennis officiating, a large company of friends were present to witness the ceremony. His body was laid to rest in the Ellaville cemetery. Schley Co. marriage records indicate two marriages.

| 17132 | NOTE 1./ SINGLETARY FAMILY Richard Singletary is documented as residing in Salisbury, Mass. from 1644 to 1652, where he was a planter and received land in the "First Division". He was elected a "Select Man" in 1650 and reportedly "taxed decently". In 1653, he moved back to Haverhill, Mass. where he became a planter and proprietor. He was again elected a "Select Man" in 1655. He lived there until his death on October 25, 1687. Richard outlived his wife, Susannah, by five years as her death is listed as Aprill 11, 1682. Richard was well educated by the standards of the day and a prominent member of the communties in which he lived. His children married into other prominent families of the era. By the early 1700's a number of Richard's sons and grandsons migrated to other areas of New England and the Carolinas. They migrated primarily to obtain land which was abundant and cheap at the time. Interestingly, Jonathan, eldest son of Richard (d.1687) and his family members changed their name to Dunham after moving to Woodbridge, New Jersey. Descendants of Jonathan continue to use the Dunham name today. Jonathan signed numerous legal documents as Dunham alias Singletary. The family is well documented in the early period in New England, but after the third generation, research becomes very difficult due to the lack of records and the duplication of names in the family. NOTE 2./ The Descendants of Francis Singletary Compiled By Dorothy Courtney Saunders - 1997 E-Mail - dorothy_saunders@prodigy.net < Information for Richard follows: Family tradition, that has for many, many years been handed down from generation to generation, tells that in the last quarter of the 16th century there was in England a family of title and large estates by the name of Dunham (Donham in Massachusetts records). There were two branches and in case of the death of the last male heir the title and estates would pass to the nearest make relative in the younger branch. The unexpected did occur and every male of the elder branch died except one small boy and one day he was missing. On investigation it was found that his nurse was also missing. Extensive searching, even with bloodhounds, produced no trace of the missing heir so the property was held for some years in abeyance. Eventually the heir apparent of the younger branch instituted a lawsuit to gain possession but he decision of the courts is unknown. At any rate, many years afterward the nurse, on her deathbed, confessed that she had been employed to destroy the child, but that her heart failed when the test came, and she decided to procure him a home in the new world. Kowing a search would be made she hid with the child in a dense hazel thicket and was in mortal terror when she heard the hounds. They failed to pick up the scent, however, so the nurse with the child remained there a day and a night, fearing that they would be discovered on emerging. They finally escaped, however, and almost expiring of hunger and fatigue, succeeded in reaching a ship in which she embarked for America. On reaching whose shores she deserted the child and shortly afterward returned to England. She added that in view of the fact that the child was now alone, separated from all kindred ties and likely to remain so, she had given him the doubly significant name of Single Tarry. The circumstances under which this written and sworn confession was made lent such force to the probability on it's truth detectives were immediately sent to America to investigate the matter and a young man was found bearing the name whose age corresponded with that of the lost heir of the Dunham estates and who could give no account of his antededents. The Captain of the ship on which the child was deserted had adopted him under the name the nurse had given, having no idea of his real name and lineage, but he was now dead. Indeed the number of years that had passed, and the surroundings evidently chosen at the time with reference to destroying all trace of name and ancestry, were such that no one could positively testify that this was the person sought; and while he was believed to be the heir the evidence was not sufficient to satisfy the English Court and put him in possession of the property. This tradition has been passed down for generations and it assumes the dignity of truth when we consider that in a legal document that appears in the archives of Massachusetts, recorded in 1702, the whole family is referred to as "Donham, alias Singletary. Another legend concerning the origin of the family is of two Dunham/ Donham/ Denham/ DuNoe/ DuNom/ brothers, Huguenot refuges from La Rochelle, France, who came to America in early 1700's. Later one slipped back to France to see what he could recover of the family estates. Upon his return to America he announced to his brother that all was lost the Crown and the Church had taken it all. The unbelieving brother denounced the rascality of the returnee's report and refused to bear the family name any longer, taking his mother's family name of Singletary. Richard was in Massachusetts by Sept. 11, 1637. See the book Singletary/Curtis Family written by Lou SingletaryBedford in 1907 for background and many descendents. Ms. Bedford wrote "Among the earliest records of him he is simply mentioned as Richard Singletary of Salisbury and Amesbury. He was a great rover for we find him in Salem in 1637, where he received a grant of land; removed to Newbury, where he joined the church in 1645; was selectman in 1650; removed to Haverhill in 1653; where he received a grant of land and became a proprietor; was selectman in 1655. Many other descendents were in Bladen Co., NC and can be followed through deeds in the possession of some of their descendents of families that traveled on to Mississippi. An updated book THE SINGLETARY FAMILY HISTORY by Yvonne Miller Brunton, c. 1989 and published by Heritage Papers, Danielsville, GA 30633, has been used to correct some of the information that Ms Estabrook originally submitted to Colonial Dames. She has done extensive research and states that her notes have been deposited with the Thomasville (GA) Cultural Center Library. SOURCE NOTES for Richard follow: He was born between 1585-1599. Records say that he died at age of 102. Membership to National Society of Colonial Dames XVII Century has been established for his descendents. National #10567 member Thelma Courtney Estabrook. Some descendents moved to NJ and sometimes used alias of Dunham. A descendent Scott Trimble of San Rafael, CA has traced many other descendents and he has several Dunham/Donham lines. Jonathan's son Nathaniel changed his name to Donham and it is from this person that Scott is descended NOTE 3./ As a historical time frame point of reference; In 1585, Sir Francis Drake, the English explorer, rescued the 1st English attempt at colonizing the New World.

On 7 September, 1638 he was listed as a freeman, and member of the church in Newbury, Massachusetts. In 1645 the family moved to Salisbury, Essex County, Mass. where Rechard werved as a selectman in 1650. By 1652 the family had moved yet again, this time to Haverhill in Essex County. At the time of his death Richard was 102 years of age, an extreamely long lived person for that time and location. Richard was born in England to family of title. He was to receive the title but another member of the Dunham Family, which was Richards family, hired Richard's nurse to kill him so that he would become the next one to receive the title. She could not do this so she took him aboard a ship to America. She gave Richard a new name, Singletarry to hide his name of Dunham. She placed the child in the care of an American family and went back to England but on her death bed she told what she had done. Richard chose to keep his new name of Singletary and rejected any efforts to regain his title. | SINGLETARY, Richard (Dunham) (I5960)

Soon afterwards he was ordained an Elder by James Emmett and John Dustin and appointed to preside over the branch of the Church organized in Simpson county at that time. In the spring of 1836 he moved to Macoupin county, Illinois, and in the summer of 1837 he moved to Caldwell county, Missouri, and resided at Haun's Mill, when the mob attacked the place October 30, 1838. He received a bullet wound in the breast, while in the blacksmith shop, but managed to reach his home, a distance of about one hundred rods, where he expired in about one hour, after having vomited up the ball. His remains were not thrown in the well, where a number of his fellow martyrs were buried, as he was not killed outright, but his brother, Tarlton Lewis, dug a grave near the well, where he buried him. Brother Lewis left a wife and six children. Joanna's untimely death in Navuoo in 1846 orphaned her six children, aged seven to seventeen.

Robert Brown was a county official in Sampson but died in 1832, soon after moving to Dooly. Raiford Royal returned to Sampson in 1845 and was very annoyed at Travis Butler that the above will had not been probated. Raiford gave a Power of Attorney to BNL Eldridge Thornton to speak for him in settling the Young Royal estate. About this time Edith Royal, the mother, died. It was 50 years later before the will was probated.

It was formerly a market town, but has long been divested of that consequence and its trade by the importance of Chelmsford. It still, however, maintains its rank amongst the most respectable villages in this district, and is the residence of many opulent families. The remains of a palace, built by King John in 1211, are a short distance from the green. A remarkable custom in the manor of Writtle, is denominated "Leppe and Lasse," viz. that every cart coming over a part of it called Greenbury, except it belong to a nobleman, must pay fourpence to the lord of the manor. The present possessor of the manor is Lord Petre, of Thorndon hall. The parish is very extensive, and computed to be sixty-one miles in circumference. The church, dedicated to All-Saints, is an ancient building, consisting of a nave, chancel, and side aisles, with an embattled tower at the west end; in 1802 the tower fell with a tremendous crash, since which it has been rebuilt, and contains eight excellent bells and a handsome clock. There are besides a methodist chapel, a neat workhouse; a charity school for thirty boys and twenty girls, and six almshouses for poor widows. The living here is a vicarage, and the peculiar jurisdiction extends to both parishes of Writtle and Roxwell : it is in the gift of the warden and fellows of New College, Oxford, the Rev. Thomas Penrose is the vicar of Writtle cum Roxwell. The latter place was formerly considered but as an hamlet to Writtle, but it is now a distinct parish, except as to the peculiar jurisdiction. A pleasure fair is held in Writtle on Whit-Monday. By the late government returns Writtle parish contained 2,348, and that of Roxwell, 847 inhabitants.

Suber has no children and Taylor has a very young family 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. | SUBER, Ellen Hazeltine (I509)

Since there is no information discovered so far indicating where, when or how he acquired the slaves, it has to be assumed that some of the aforementioned lot were brought from South Carolina, for which Charleston was a major slave trading center. His migration from South Carolina to Jones, then Crawford County Georgia was prior to 1824, since the place of birth of his first son Moses, is given as Georgia. | MATHEWS, Enoch S. (I2218)
