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.

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.

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.

My last ancestor with the Singletary surname was Nancy Jane Singletary b. 1846, so I am more interested in a book which documents and cites sources of information that pertain to the earlier Singletarys. Thanks in Advance, Bert

My line is (to the best of my knowledge) Benjamin + (Mary Stockbridge)->Richard->Benjamin->Thomas->Thomas W->Nathan->Nancy Jane.
