- Note 1./ James Henry Revell was hung October 21, 1859 for killing William Wilburn Hammock and wounding George Adams, October 8, 1857, in Crawford Co., Ga. James Henry Revell was married to Sarah Caroline Childers on March 1, 1857 in Crawford Co., Ga. William Wilburn Hammock was married to Elizabeth F. Parham.
Note 2./ According to the Taylor County Tracer, April 1999, Sarah Caroline Childers married James Henry Revell from North Carolina. James Revell was indicted in 1858 for the murder of William Wellborn Hammock and George Adams. The killing happened Oct 8, 1857. He was convicted for the murder of Hammock. He was held in the Crawford Co, jail for about two years while appeals were processed and executed on October 21, 1859.
This brings into question the parentage of her two children. Joseph J. was probably born in late 57/early 58 and so could easily be Revell's son, but Martha was born after he'd been in jail for at least a year. In the 1870 census, the children are living with uncle Michael Childers, but with the surname of Harrison. In 1880, Martha is with her uncle Nathan Childers, Joseph has married.
Sarah disappears from the census records after 1860. She either remarried (a Harrison perhaps, since the children have that name?), left the area or died.
