PREFACE.

This volume contains an account of the family or families
named in the title page and of their descendants. The full work,
in five parts, contains all that is known to the compiler concerning
the Clark, Parks, Brockman and Dean families and their descend-
ants, his ancestors and kindred ; and of the Davis and Goss fam-
ilies and their descendants, the ancestors and kindred of his be-
loved wife, now deceased.

The separate parts are: No. I. The Clark Family; No. II.
The Parks Family ; No. III. The Brockman and Dean Families ;
No. IV. The Davis Family, and No. V. The Goss Family.

He engaged in the work with no intention of publishing it, but
instead he intended simply to leave a manuscript copy to his chil-
dren. After many inquiries as to his purpose, and with expres-
sions of desire from many persons to possess a copy, he deter-
mined to publish it in book form. He so announced, enlarged the
scope, invoked the aid of his friends, and has devoted much time
and patient labor collecting information for use in its preparation.
The work has assumed proportions greatly beyond his expecta-
tion.

The chronology of persons and families has had special atten-
tion. This, however, is not the highest function of genealogy,
valuable though it be in tracing and proving a line of descent
and relationship, but it is the preserving and presenting to our
contemplation the lives and real character of our ancestors and
kindred. This has been kept prominent and becomes therefore an
interesting feature of the work.

Each of the several parts of the work comprises a distinct line,
and the persons are named in the order of birth, so far as the
facts were obtainable. In some of the parts eight generations
are accounted for.

There is a system of reference by numbers, thus enabling one
with facility to trace the lineage and ascertain the exact relation-
ship of any person named in the book with any other person.
There are some remarkable genealogical tracings, degrees of re-

lationship, the result of inter-marriage in related families, and
some of these it will be found impracticable to define.

There are a number of pages arranged for continuing the family-
record in direct line of descent. Thus may be added many genera-
tions and so the work will become an heirloom of value in the
coming centuries.

The work has been to the compiler a labor of love rather than
profit. If he has succeeded in rescuing from oblivion the names
and deeds of some of his ancestors and numerous kindred, he
will in some measure be compensated for his arduous labor, and
though his success has not been commensurate with his wishes
and efforts, he trusts his labors have not been in vain. It is a
matter of regret that not only the names of some but the deeds
of many equally worthy have not been obtained for use in its
preparation. He is greatly indebted, however, to his friends for
the prompt manner in which many of them have responded to
his request for information, and for words of cheer and encour-
agement, and to these is largely due whatever of success he has
achieved. He wishes especially to acknowledge his obligation to
his esteemed friend and kinswoman, Mrs. Alfred W. Parks, of
Clifton, S. C, for information relating to the Parks family; to his
friend, his wife's kinsman. Dr. J. D. Garrard, late of Birmingham,
Ala., for information relating to the Davis and Goss families ; to
Dr. Thomas M. Owen, Director of the Department of Archives
and History of Alabama, for courteous and generous aid in the
preparation of the work; and finally to his very dear mother, but
for whose intelligence and great strength of memory he should
never have known so much of his ancestry and collateral kindred.

To his mother he dedicates the work in loving and tender mem-
ory and affection.

The Clark Family

THE CLARK FAMILY.

ORIGIN OF THE NAME.

The name "Clark" is of distinguished derivation. The follow-
ing account of its origin, prepared by Eleanor Lexington, will
therefore form an interesting introduction to the genealogy of the
particular family here treated:

"The name Clark is derived from 'clericus,' meaning a priest,
or one connected with the service of the Church.

"At first the term was used only to designate those in clerical
orders, but as in early times the Church was the only source of
learning, any person who had been educated by the clergy event-
ually came to be called a 'clerk.' The designation was finally
given to all who were able to read and write.

"So distinguished a name was eagerly coveted. Hence its fre-
quency, many people adding 'le clerk' to their names. This was
finally dropped, and only Clerk left, or, as it was pronounced,
Clark. The final 'e' is an addition in later times.

"Compounds of the name are Beauclark, the good Clark ; Mau-
clerk, the bad Clark ; Kenclerk, the knowing Clark ; and Petyclerk,
the little Clark.

"The name Milo le Clerk is found in the 'One Hundred Rolls,'
compiled in the reign of Edward I., which contain records of the
persons who owned lands in the time of William the Conqueror,
for which they paid rent in money, sheep or hens, or gave their
service as soldiers. Several Domesday tenants are designated
'Clericus.'

"An interesting tradition connects the Clark family by marriage
with that of the descendants of Joseph of Arimathea. After the
Crucifixion, Joseph was banished from Judea. In company with
Philip the Apostle, Mary, Martha, Lazarus and a servant, Mar-
cilia, he was put into a vessel without sails or oars and set adrift,
to perish on the sea. The ship was thrown upon the French
coast. Joseph finally found his way to Britain, where he founded
a church at Glastonbury, to which place thousands of the devout,

in the Middle Ages, journeyed every year to see the blossoming
of the sacred thorn on Christmas day.

"Upon what authority the tradition of the connection of the
family of Clark with Joseph rests, history maintains a discreet
silence. It gives the tradition, and leaves the rest to the imagi-
nation."

FIRST GENERATION.
1.

The earliest account we have of the Clark family is of four
brothers and one sister, descendants of English ancestry, the date
of whose emigration to America is not known. These were all
born in Amelia Co., Va., and were:

Thomas, William, Dudley, George and Nancy. Nancy married
a Greenwood in N. C.

We have no further knowledge of these except Thomas, the
eldest, who was born about 1753 and who married a widow, Pris-
cilla Tucker, of N. C, whose maiden name was Doyle.

THOMAS CLARK was a farmer though a man of small
means. He left Va. and settled in N. C, where he remained
some years and then moved to Spartanburg district, S. C, and
later on to Laurens district, where he lived about twenty years,
and was then removed with his wife to the State of Ga. by his
son John. He died at the home of his son William, in Newton
county, Ga., in 1837, aged eighty-four years. The widow died
some years later at the home of John Clark, is Jasper county,
Ga., about ninety years of age. They were buried in the family
graveyard at the home of William Clark in Newton county, Ga.

Priscilla Tucker Clark had two brothers and one sister, James,

John and Sallie Doyle. Of these we have no information. There
were born to her by her first husband. Tucker, one son and three
daughters: Starling, Fanny, Martha and Mary. Of these we
will give a further account later. (See Appendix No. 216.)
The children of Thomas Clark and his wife Priscilla were :

2. i. Elizabeth Doyle , b. Mar. 25. 1775 ; m. John Wallace.

3. ii. GiLLAM, b. about 1777; m. Nancy Waldrop.

4. iii. John, b. Nov. 19, 1780; m. Susan Parks.

5. iv. William, b. Aug. 21, 1782; m. Judith Craddock.

6. V. Nancy, b. about 1784; m. Henry Burdett.

SECOND GENERATION.

ELIZABETH DOYLE=^ CLARK (i) was born in N. C, Mar.
25, 1775, and married John Wallace, a farmer of Laurens dis-
trict, S. C, Mar. 19, 1796.

Mr. Wallace was born in 1774 and died Aug. 6, 1824. Mrs.
Wallace died Oct. 24, 1854, at the home of her son Walton in
Chambers Co., Ala. Their children were six sons and five daugh-
ters (order of birth conjectural) :

i. Starling', b. Jan. 11, 17—; d. May 4, 1810.
ii. Thomas Doyle, b. Mar. 15, 1800; d. Aug. 20. 1802.

7. iii. Walton Washington, b. Jan. 17, 1803; m. Nancy Mc-

Veigh,
iv. Frances, b. ; m. Henry Holcom in Laurens

district, S. C. They moved to Buncombe Co., N. C.
V. Odelia, b. ; never married; lived with her

widowed sister, Mrs. William Sims, in Newton Co., Ga.,

for many years,
vi. Alfred CotesworTh, b. Mar. 24, 1809; d. July 26, 1826.

8. vii. John Welsey. b. Mar. 31, 181 1; m. Louisa A. Felder.
viii. Eliza, b. ; m. Wm. Sims; d. Dec. 31, 1891.

(See Appendix No. 217.)
g. ix. Selena Mira, b. 1814; m. Noah Fairbairn.

X. Louisa, m. James Blakely. They moved to Miss.
xi. Welsey Wilds, m. Miss Rutherford, of Rutherford Co.,
N. C. They moved to Miss., and d. after the Civil
War, he in Miss, and she in Ark.

GILLAM- CLARK (i) was born in N. C. about 1777 and at
about twenty years of age married Nancy Waldrop in the vState
of S. C. There were born to this union seven or eight children.
One of these, James, lived one year with his uncle, William
Clark, in Newton Co., Ga., about 1835 to 1838. Gillam with his
family moved to Ala. and settled near Huntsville. His wife died
and he married again. It is thought the family moved to Miss.
We have lost all trace of them.

JOHN^ CLARK (i) was born in N. C, Nov. 19, 1780, and
received a good common school education. In early life he emi-
grated to S. C, settling in Laurens district, and about 1806 was
elected to the office of sheriff, and was re-elected and succeeded

himself for several terms, serving seven or more years. He was
called the High Sheriff, and as was the custom at that day, pre-
ceded the Judge of the Court to and from the Court House with
drawn sword and cocked hat in vindication of the law, an
English custom. He was a volunteer soldier in the war of 1812
between the United States and Great Britain, as shown by the
following from the War Department:

Department oe the Interior,
Bureau of Pensions,
Washington, D. C, Aug. 14, 1902.
Sir : In reply to your communication of recent date, you are advised
that, as shown by the records of this Bureau, Susan Clark was pensioned
as the widow of John Clark on account of his service in Capt. N. T.
Martin's company. South Carolina Militia, from February i, 1814, to
August 10, i8i4j War of 1812.

Very respectfully,

E. S. Ware,
Commissioner.
Mr. H. W. Clark,

222 Columbus St.,

Montgomery, Ala.

Returning from the war he stopped with a comrade, one Parks,
at the home of his parents, and there met his fate in the person of
Susan, a sister of his comrade and daughter of Thomas and
Annie Parks, of Laurens district, S. C. Feb. 25, 1816, he and
Susan Parks were united in marriage at the home of her parents.

They remained in Laurens district about fourteen years, where
he was engaged at farming near the Enoree River, his farm being
on Durban's Creek, a tributary of that stream. In the latter part
of 1829 he vv'ith his family moved to the State of Ga., resided one
year in Newton Co., and then settled in Jasper Co., where he had
purchased a home and farm.

John Clark owned and had emancipated, as a result of the
Civil War, about fifty negro slaves. He was a humane master,
fed and clothed his slaves well and allotted them small parcels of
land and opportunities to cultivate the same for their own use.
After his slaves were emancipated most of them remained about
him and cultivated his lands and were ever respectful to old mas-
ter and old mistis. Notably one of these, a man named Gilbert,
was a powerful man physically and was a most valuable slave as
an ordinary farm laborer. He and his good wife, Minerva, two
Christian-hearted negroes, were, after they were emancipated,

good friends and neighbors of their former owners, ever
ready to do them any service. John Clark was a life-long
partisan Democrat. He was never an aspirant for political office,
never very active in political work, but kept well informed on
the political issues of his day and time, and always gave loyal
support to the nominees of his party. At the solicitation of his
neighbors he accepted the office of magistrate for his precinct,
served in that capacity for many years and made an enviable
reputation for impartial, intelligent and faithful discharge of
official duty. He died Nov. 27, 1870, at the advanced age of
ninety years and eight days, and was buried in the family grave-
yard at the family homestead, where they had resided for forty
years.

Mrs. Susan (Parks) Clark was born in Laurens district, S. C,
Feb. 24, 1796. She was one of the best housewives it is the for-
tune of man to be blest with. Intelligent and entertaining, with
a happy faculty for making friends ; as housekeeper, industrious
and skilled in domestic handcraft ; a congenial companion and
true helpmeet. She was ever solicitious for the success in life
and happiness of her children, ever ready by precept and example,
and by word of cheer to lure them on to honorable and useful
lives. She lived and suffered and loved and lost and dreamed
and struggled to attain till she grew rich throughout and ripened
and matured like a fruit. She was a woman of truth, repose,
experience, feeling and grasp. A sister to your labor, a valiant
comrade in the great battle of life ; a woman of strength like a
gulf stream to your love. She was a sympathetic and helpful
neighbor, ever ready to go to the aid of the afflicted, ever found
beside the bed of her sick neighbor as nurse and counselor ; a
true minister of mercy. In her later life, and before she was her-
self stricken with paralysis, much of her time was given to the
noble work of ministering to the sick of her community, and she
so left a halo of grateful memory about the last years of her
long and useful life, and though dead for more than twenty
years the fragrance of her life still lingers in the community
in which she lived. The memory of such a woman deserves to
be cherished lovingly and tenderly ; she is an inspiration, the
hope of the world. She died Aug. 5, 1880, after some years of
patient suffering from paralysis, aged 84 years and 11 days, at

6 Genealogy of

the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary L. Pope, near Monticello,
Ga., who had tenderly and lovingly ministered to her in her
affliction. She was buried beside her husband in the family
graveyard at the old homestead, her home for half a century.
The religion of the family was Baptist. Their children were :

account on final settlement and distribution of his estate.

DR. COURTNEY JAMES^ CLARK (4) was born Oct. 27,
1816, in Laurens district, S. C. He received an ordinary aca-
demic education, read medicine and began the practice of his pro-
fession at the early age of twenty, at Jacksonville, Calhoun Co.
(then Benton Co.) Ala., where he soon took a creditable position
in his chosen profession. His first medical studies were under

14 Genealogy of

Dr. John Robert Clark, his cousin, who had a large general store
at Double Cabins, Henry Co., Ga., in which the subject of this
sketch was a clerk, as well as a student. His first course of medi-
cal lectures was taken at Augusta, Ga. ; his second at Louisville,
Ky., and his third and last at Jefferson Medical College, Philadel-
phia, acquitting himself with credit, and graduating with honors
at each of the two last named.

In the war with Mexico he was First Assistant Surgeon of the
Alabama Volunteers ; when the regiment was mustered out, the
time of enlistment having expired he was asked by the command-
ing ofiicer of the Palmetto Regiment to serve as surgeon of that
regiment to fill a vacancy. He accepted the position temporarily
and upon the request of the Governor of South Carolina served
through with this regiment. He was on the staff of General
Scott at the capture of the City of Mexico and riding with him
selected for the wounded a palace of the Montezumas as a hos-
pital. After a ratification of the treaty of peace he returned
to Jacksonville, Ala., to resume the practice of his profession.
He received a splendid gold medal voted him by the State of
South Carolina for his service with the Palmetto Regiment.

He devoted himself actively to his profession greatly aided by
his hospital experience and his reputation as a surgeon called his
services into demand over several counties.

He had a literary turn of mind, was fond of the classics and
pursued the study of Spanish, a taste for which he had acquired
by force of circumstances in Mexico. He was one oi a coterie of
men who made a small part of the Jacksonville Republican's
reputation in the state for literary style, force and brilliancy;
notably was this the case in the political contest for the liquida-
tion of the State Bank. Dr. Clark ably espoused with his pen,
the election of Governor Martin on this issue in 1845.

Feb. 16, 1853, Dr. Clark married Nancy Walker Davis.

In 1 861 he entered the service of his state as a volunteer in the
Confederate States Army and was appointed Chief Surgeon of the
Tenth Alabama Regiment, Colonel John H. Forney command-
ing. His first service actively was upon the bloody field of the
First Manassas. His abilities were quickly recognized and he
was placed in charge of the Alabama Hospitals in Richmond,
where he remained until they were closed and then he was or-

dered to Montgomery where he continued to minister to the sick
and wounded Confederates until Wilson's advance Apr. 10-12,
1865, forced him to leave or surrender. With a corps of assist-
ants and a few nurses he followed the remnant of a tattered army
to Columbus, Ga., where he was compelled by his duties to the
wounded to surrender. He however never left the operating
room as the Federals invited him to assist in the care of some of
their wounded which he did in the same quarters. As a mark of
appreciation he was presented by the commanding officer of the
Federals with a fine set of surgical instruments long afterwards
prized and used by him. The fine pair of surgeon shears he pre-
sented to his wife on his return to his home in Jacksonville.

In 1866 Dr. Clark removed to Selma where he took a promi-
nent position in his profession as well as in matters pertaining to
the organizing, fostering and improving the public school sys-
tem. He was largely instrumental in separating the school from
the uncertain mill of municipal politics as to the money for its
maintenance. While a member of the City Council and thus
during the period of Reconstruction when the negroes and "car-
pet-baggers" and "scalawags" were in power he succeeded in se-
curing an amendment to the city charter which sets apart a large
share of the city's revenue for the public schools, placing the
funds in the control of a self-perpetuating board of the most
reputable citizens of Selma. The Board of Trustees of Dallas
Academy named the fine colored school building the "Clark
School" in his honor.

It was as a surgeon that Dr. Clark made most reputation, not
only in Alabama but in the circle of skilled members of the pro-
fession in many portions of the United States. He performed
many pieces of surgery not theretofore attempted, notably in
tracheatomy, ankle and thigh work. He was the inventor of two
surgical instruments, one a placenta hook much used now.

Dr. Clark was a member of the Presbyterian Church, a kind
hearted physician an indulgent father and a loyal friend ; of out-
ward stern and reserved manner, acquired in two army experi-
ences, he was full of tenderness and affection for those endeared
to him.

In politics he was a partisan Democrat of unwavering devotion
to his people through every vicissitude. He only consented to the

1 6 Genealogy of

use of his personal popularity by the Democrats to elect him to
the City Council of Selma at a time when political adventurers
and negroes were plundering the city and piling up bonded in-
debtedness ; other than this he declined because of his large pro-
fessional business.

After a life filled with usefulness and good deeds he, as he ex-
pressed it was expecting to go to sleep as one who had diligently
labored all the day, rested from his labors; he died Aug. i6,
1893, at Jacksonville, Ala., and was buried beside his wife in the
Live Oak Cemetery, Selma, Ala. A monument marks the
graves.

Nancy Walker Davis Clark was the daughter of Thomas
and Laurania Davis who at one time resided in Butts Co.,
Ga. Nancy Walker Davis was born at Montevallo, Shelby
Co., Ala., Oct. 23, 1833. Her parents removed to Natchitoches
Parish, La. Nancy was nominally adopted by her maternal uncle.
Judge Thomas A. Walker, of Jacksonville, Ala. She received
her education in the schools of her adopted town. She was a
great favorite with her uncle and at his death her children in-
herited the major portion of Judge Walker's handsome estate.
She was a devout member of the Presbyterian Church. Her
domestic traits were exceptional as housewife, mother and nurse,
often aiding her husband in nursing his patients. Mrs. Clark was
one of the organizers of the Confederate Memorial Association in
Selma, Ala. ; was for some years president of the same and was
one of the few active members who pursued unfaltering the work
of erecting the monument to the Confederate dead in Live Oak
Cemetery. Her sunny cheerful disposition kept her raven locks
in their pristine beauty to the last years of her life, untouched by
Time's finger tips. She passed to her well-earned reward Mar.
19, 1892.

farm, assisting at farm labor and receiving an ordinary common
school education. He was trained to habits of industry and fru-
gality, and this training was of much value to him in after life.
He professed religion, when about fifteen years old and joined
Bethlehem Baptist Church, a Missionary Baptist organization
in the vicinity of the parental homestead. In after years and
while residing in Montgomery Co., Ala., he was for many years
clerk of the church of his membership, and was liberal with his
means in support of the church and village school.

In the fall of 1847 H. W. Clark settled in Chambers Co., Ala.,
and began a mercantile business in co-partnership with his broth-
er-in-law Benjamin J. Flowers, under the style and firm name of
Flowers & Clark. This co-partnership was dissolved in the win-
ter of 1 85 1 -2.

In the spring of 1853 he, with his little family, wife and two
children, moved to and settled at Pinelevel, Montgomery Co.,
Ala., where he again engaged in merchandising and in the course
of a few years built up a fine business, and was in the midst of
a prosperous trade when the Civil War began in 1861. He had
established a good credit in New York, could buy all the goods
he could handle and had promise of a very successful career as
a merchant. The war dissipated all that.

Because of physical disabilities he was not in the Confed-
erate Army, though he had no less than seventeen brothers and
brothers-in-law in that memorable conflict.

In 1862 he closed out his mercantile business and was actively
engaged at milling, tanning, &c., until the close of the war. Dur-
ing the war he invested some money in lands and not a little in
cotton, and these investments proved to be very profitable, es-
pecially the latter, and when the war closed he was able to make
satisfactory settlement of a large indebtedness in New York and
elsewhere and have an ample competency left with which to be-
gin life anew in the new-born, though prostrate South; new in
the new order of things, prostrate financially, and politically under
the heel of the carpet-bagger, the scallazvag and the negro.

In the month of May, 1870, Mr. Clark moved to the City of
Montgomery, and in the fall of that year took possession of a
purchase he had made, property bounded by Houston, Hilliard,

Pelham and Garrison streets, for which he paid ten thousand
dollars. Here he resided for twenty-nine years and reared his
large family of seven sons and one daughter.

For some years after settling in Montgomery he was engaged
in the business of life insurance, being the general agent and
manager of the Southern Life Insurance Company for Ala. In
1876 he engaged in the manufacture and sale of yellow pine
lumber, and was thus employed about twelve years. In 1881
he was attacked with bronchitis from which he has never re-
covered and much of his time and means have been devoted to
the care of his health. For ten or more years he has entirely
retired from active business pursuits.

In politics he has been a life long Democrat, but never an as-
pirant for political office. Never being active in political work;
never a slave to party lash. Never voted else than a Democratic
ticket, but had the courage of his convictions and refused to
vote for W. J. Bryan as the nominee of the party for President
of U. S. in 1896, because he did not approve of the financial
policy of the candidate.

H. W. Clark's wife, Mary Susan, daughter of David Wright,

They were married at the residence of her parents in Chambers
Co., Ala., Sept. 19, 1848, her uncle Elder Benajah Goss offici-
ating. She received her education in the common schools and
was trained to habits of industry and economy by her mother,
who was a good farmer's wife. She was a young woman of at-
tractive personality with a happy faculty for entertaining her
friends. She made a frugal and industrious house-keeper, and
although only twenty years old when married, she had made
more than ordinary preparation for house-keeping. She was of
a sympathetic nature, pitied the poor and afflicted and was ever
ready to render them aid and comfort. She was always solici-
tous for the wellfare and happiness of her children ; was a con-
sistent member of the Baptist Church, which she joined in early
life, and had an abiding faith in the promises of the gospel,
seeming never to doubt her final salvation. She blessed the life
of her husband as only a true and loving wife could do. She
died at the family residence, Houston street, Montgomery, Ala.,
Sept. 12, 1893, and her remains were interred in the family lot in
the city cemetery.

MARY LUCY^ CLARK (4), twin sister of Martha Susan,
was born in Laurens district, S. C, Mar. i, 1827, and came with
her parents to the State of Ga., when not quite three years of
age. She received her education in the common schools and was
married at the early age of sixteen, a thing not uncommon in
those days, to John Collins Pope, Apr. 6, 1843, and to them were
born and raised seven children. Mrs. Pope has been always a
tireless and energetic worker and made a splendid helpmate to
her husband. During the times of the civil war and those fol-
lowing, when people were thrown as never before or since on
their own resources, in order to procure something to eat and
wear, she set her inventive mind to work as well as her busy
hands and helped to feed and clothe her family by spinning,
weaving and making cotton and woolen garments; ladies' and
gents' hats out of native grasses, wheat straw and poplar bark.
She had on so many occasions made something useful or beauti-
ful out of apparently nothing but a pile of rubbish, that one of her
sons-in-law remarked one day, that he believed she could rum-
mage around in the storage garret of her house and make any-
thing from a knitting needle to a steam engine.

She is not content unless at work and happiest when working
or administering to others. Though seventy-seven years of age,
she devotes a large part of her time to fancy lace work and em-
broidery, and many of her friends and kin are richer in these
dainty valuables, owing to her generosity. Forgetfulness of self,
love towards all and enmity to none ; devotion in time of trouble
as well as in time of happiness, are mere attribute of her beautiful
Christian character. She is a consistent member of the Baptist
Church.

John Collins Pope was bom in Oglethorpe Co., Ga., Feb. 12,
181 5, of Josiah and Fanny Pope.

He died from the effects of a stroke of paralysis at his home
near Monticello, Ga., Oct. 19, 1893. Moving with his parents to
Jasper Co. when about twelve years of age, being next to the old-
est boy in an already large and poor family, he was unable to
go to school at all, but worked daily in the field in their behalf.
Though uneducated he was a man of keen intelligence and spark-

ling wit. By time he was grown, his father, aided by his large
family of boys, had grown prosperous and added many acres of
land to the small tract that he purchased when first moving to his
new home. After his marriage his loving wife, with more than
ordinary industry and economy, helped him to accumulate and
add to the small tract that his father gave him until it was not
many years before they had a nice farm of several hundred
acres of land and a number of servants. He was an almost tire-
less worker, and in the days of his greatest prosperity, worked
as hard if not harder than any slave he had. He was never hap-
pier than when hard at work and kept it up to the time when he
was stricken with the disease that resulted in his death. He
raised a large family of three girls and four boys and gave to
each one the benefits of an education, of which he had been de-
prived and which he keenly felt.

Mr. Pope was a man of fine feelings and of rugged honesty.
In all his long and useful life he was never known to compromise
with truth and honor in any transaction. He responded to his
country's call for men to defend her and went to Macon and en-
listed in the Confederate service, and was sent back to Jasper Co.
as a "home guard," where he did good service in looking after
the families of younger soldiers who had been sent to the front;
among the latter, one of his own sons only i6 years of age.
Though financially wrecked by the terrible outcome of the war,
he never lost heart but met the situation as only a brave man
could and started immediately with might and main to retrieve his
broken and shattered fortune. He was fully aided and abetted
by his brave and energetic wife and it was not many years be-
fore they were living in at least comfortable circumstances, pay-
ing off in full, dollar for dollar, all that the war had left them
indebted for,

Mr. Pope was noted for his hospitality. Besides the numer-
ous family connection that found such a delightful and hospitable
reception at all times, as well as a large number of friends who
delighted to visit at his home, he never turned away any one no
matter how tough or disreputable looking they appeared, but
furnished them both meals and lodging. His motto was that he
had rather feed and administer to the comfort of a score of un-

Benjamin J, Flowers was born Mar. 5, 1821, and died at Eagle
Lake, Florida, Nov. 6, 1895.

For two years after marriage, Mr. Flowers was engaged in

with his family to Chambers Co., Ala., where he was engaged in
Merchandising in co-partnership with the writer until the winter
of 1 85 1 -2, under the firm name of Flowers & Clark, when this
partnership was dissolved by mutual consent. He with his fam-
ily returned to the State of Ga., and settled in Newton Co., and
again engaged in farming, &c. He was a volunteer soldier in
the Confederate States Army during the Civil War. Mr. Flowers
was an intelligent man and a good and respected citizen. He
was a man of strong convictions, always defending his conclu-
sions when formed on any subject. In the matter of politics he
was a Democrat. In religious faith a Methodist, but was toler-
ant and respectful to persons of all creeds. His wife though of
a Baptist family went with him to the church of his choice. She
was and is a good Christian woman ; was a congenial companion,
a model mother and house-keeper, a true helpmeet to her hus-
band, and still survives him this 1903. She resides at Eagle

JOHN PARKS^ CLARK (4) was born in Newton Co., Ga.,
Jan. 15, 1830. He received his early education in the common
schools of the neighborhood in which he was reared, and attended
college at Oxford, Ga., one or more terms. He read law, intend-
ing to engage in the practice of that profession but abandoned
that intention and was not admitted to the bar,

John P. Clark entered the service of the Confederate States as
a volunteer private of the Tenth Regiment Alabama Volunteers,
at Montgomery, Ala., in 1861, and served with that regiment for
some years. He was a brave and gallant soldier, never shirking
duty nor shrinking from danger. He was wounded in battle
several times and near the close of the war was transferred to the
Cavalry service. He was united in marriage Oct. 26, 1869, at
Union Springs, Ala., to Mrs. Mary Ellen Norman Marks, a
widow of culture and refinement without children. She was
born of a prominent family in Columbus, Ga., July 15, 1836.
They resided for a time at Union Springs, then at Eufaula, Ala.,
and a few years later moved to Atlanta, Ga., where the family
has since resided. For many years they have resided at No. 90
Merritts Ave., where they have a comfortable home and an in-
teresting family. Mr. Clark's business was Professor of Music,
piano tuning and repairing being his chief business and in which
he made an enviable reputation and enjoyed a liberal patronage.
He died at Covington, Ga., Dec. 25, 1902, surrounded by his
family and friends after a brief illness of about one week, during
which time all that medical skill and k v^ing friends could do to
relieve him was without avail. He was buried at the cemetery
in Atlanta, his home for many years. He was a member of the
Presbyterian Church. Children:

EMILY JUDITH^ CLARK (4) was born in Jasper Co., Ga.,
May 24, 1 83 1, was educated in the common schools and was uni-
ted in marriage at the residence of her parents, to Robert J.
Brooks, Oct. 19, 1852. They resided for some time at Snapping
Shoals, Ga., moved thence to Morrisville, Calhoun Co., Ala.,
where he was employed in a manufacturing establishment. He
returned with his family to Snapping Shoals, Newton Co., Ga.,
thence went to Griffin, Ga. Brooks was a skilled mechanic and
in the winter of 1859-60, moved with his family to Pinelevel,
Montgomery Co., Ala, where he began the manufacture of sash,
doors, blinds, furniture, gins, &c., and was thus engaged when
the war between the States began in 186 1. It was soon apparent
that this business would not prosper pending hostilities and he
wound up his business in Ala. in 1862, and returned with his
family to Jasper Co., Ga. Soon after moving to Ga., he entered
as a volunteer private in the Confederate States Army and died
in camp near Richmond, Va., July 12, 1862.

In Feb., 1868, Mrs. Emily J. Brooks was united in marriage
to William Henry Ivy, of Jasper Co., Ga., where they resided
about three years and then moved to Newton Co., Ga., near Cov-
ington. Later they resided in Covington and Mr. Ivy was en-
gaged in the drug business in co-partnership with his step-son,
Courtney C. Brooks. Mr. Ivy died in Covington, Ga., May 21,
1894, aged 69 years and 7 months and the local paper said
of him :

"A better purer man never lived or died in this or any other community.
He was born and raised in Newton county and was an industrious and
useful citizen, being of a quiet and retiring nature. He was a patriotic
man, having been a soldier in the Mexican War of 1847, and also a sol-
dier in the late war between the States. He was an earnest and consistent
member of the Methodist Church, who loved the Lord and endeavored to
keep His commandments. He was a true and loyal Mason, who held out
a helping hand to every brother in distress. * * * He leaves a rich
and priceless legacy to his family in the undying form of a pure life and
a clean record."

Mrs. Ivy died May 13, 1899; mourned by loving children and
friends.

She was a model wife and mother, and a devout Christian
and communicant of the Methodist Church.

JULIA PATTERSON^ CLARK (4) was born June 18,
1833, in Jasper Co., Ga., and grew up to be a beautiful young
woman. During a visit to her brother, Dr. C. J. Clark, at Jack-
sonville, Ala., she met Dr. Miller William Francis and on May
16, 1854, they were happily united in marriage. To them were
born four children. All was pure and happiness in the home
until the dread news that war had been declared between the
States. The husband felt it his duty to give his services and life
if need be in defense of his home and native land. With equal
patriotism the wife agreed and then for long years of suspense
with but rare intervals was the young mother separated from her
loved husband. During this time the only daughter came to
bless the home, but for a brief period. Her father saw her one
time then while listening to hear at any time of the husband
being wounded or dead, the mother's heart was rent with
grief as she saw her precious one sicken and die, the father far
away on the battle fields of Va. Through it all she trusted in
God, and her letters of that period bear testimony to her sweet
character and love for country. The world knows and recog-
nizes the valor and fidelity of the Southern soldier and monu-
ments are raised to them. God only knows the true devotion
and silent suffering of those the purest, finest, noblest women
of the world has ever seen, the wives of the South of 1861-5.
The soldiers had relief in active service, their wives had patient
suffering and waiting at home. The red rose of valor is theirs,
the white lilly of purity and love belongs to the Southern women
and their memory like a sweet perfume lingers with us who
knew them and loved them. Through these chastenings the
life of Mrs. Francis grew sadder and sweeter. During the next

30 Genealogy of

ten years another son came to bless the home, then the quiet
spirit of the mother was called home. She died on the 6 of Nov.
1874 and was buried at Jacksonville, Ala. She had for many
years been a sweet spirited conscientious member of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South, and died in the perfect assurance
of a part in the resurrection of the just. ''Her children rise up
and call her blessed."

Dr. Miller W. Francis was born Dec. 21, 1833, at Jasper.
Marion Co., Tenn. His ancestors went to Ireland during the re-
ligious persecution in France, being strong Huguenots. Joseph
Francis came from Ireland and settled in Va., and was a sol-
dier in the war of the Revolution. His three children were edu-
cated in France. Joseph's son Miller, married Hannah Henry,
a member of the Patrick Henry family; they had twelve child-
ren. One daughter, Theresa, married Judge Hopkins Turney,
United States Senator from Tennessee before the Civil War.
A son, Dr. James C. Francis, married Amy Ingram and in 1834
moved to Jacksonville, Calhoun Co., (then Benton) and died
there in 1878. Miller William Francis was a son of Dr. James
C. Francis. He was educated in Ala., graduating with honors
when seventeen years old. He read medicine in the office of
his father and Dr. C. J. Clark, graduated in medicine and sur-
gery at the Medical College in Louisville, Ky. in 1853, and com-
menced the practice of his profession at twenty years of age.
He continued in his chosen profession at Jacksonville until the
Southern States seceded and leaving his young wife and two
little children, he enlisted in the Confederate Army, and re-
mained true to his colors as long as they floated, and true to his
South land as long as he lived. He was commissioned senior
surgeon of the 6th Ala., Infantry, Rodes Brigade, May 19, 1861,
resigned this position in May, 1862, and was re-commissioned
June 18, 1862, senior surgeon, Morgan's Brigade, Wheeler
Corps Cavalry. He continued in this position till May 4, 1865,
when he was paroled at Charlotte or Greensboro, N. C. He
was with Gen. Joe Wheeler on many of his raids through Tenn.
and Ky., was at the siege of Atlanta, always at the front ready
to do his duty. Of him Gen., now U. S. Senator Morgan said
to one of his sons, "Your father was the only surgeon I ever

saw dress a wounded man on the firing line. He would not stay
in the rear."

When the war ended Dr. Francis returned to Jacksonville and
resumed the practice of medicine and built up a very extensive
and successful practice. In 1874 his health began to fail. His
beloved wife had died and life seemed to have but little attrac-
tion for him, and on Dec. 8, 1877, he gladly yielded it up. Brave,
chivalrous, tender-hearted gentleman that he was, he drew men
to him. There was universal sorrow when the word went out
that he was dead. He was a consistent member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South. Children:

He was employed at one time as a clerk in the dry goods store
of Mr. Porter at Tuskegee, Ala., and afterwards at Pinelevel,
Montgomery Co., Ala., in the store of the writer.

On the first of Jan., 1859, he became a partner in the latter's
store, when the firm was H. W. & H. T. Clark until July 5, 1861,
when in an unfortunate encounter he was killed by one Alexan-
der Urquahart. Urquahart was held to bail in the sum of ten
thousand dollars. A bill of indictment was returned against
Urquahart by the grand jury of Montgomery Co., charging him
with murder, but he had enlisted in the Confederate States Army,
and was thus enabled to postpone a trial for many years, in fact
until after the close of the war and when tried was acquitted.

Harvey T. Clark was a capable young business man, and gave
promise of making a successful merchant. He was affable and
courteous and had a happy faculty for making friends. He

ELMIRA CAROLINE^ CLARK (4) was born in Jasper Co.,
Ga., Mar. 8, 1841. She was well educated in the local schools
and grew up to be a young woman of more than ordinary attrac-
tive personality. A relative of hers who met her when on a visit
to friends in S. C, in some correspondence with the writer, says :
"I thought Cousin Elmira was the most beautiful young woman
my childish eyes had ever beheld, and she was as charming as she
was beautiful." At some time during the Civil War while on a
visit to friends at Jacksonville, Ala., she met Captain Gentry, of
the Confederate Army, who afterwards visited her at the home
of her parents in Jasper Co., Ga., and on July 3, 1865, they were
happily united in marriage. The Rev. W. Pennington officiating.

Captain Frank Gentry was born in Marion Co., Ky., Aug. 17,
1824. He enlisted in the Confederate Army in 1861, was orderly
sergeant in Company "B," 9th Kentucky Battalion, and was pro-
moted to the rank of Captain before the close of the war. He
settled at Carson's Landing on the Mississippi river where he was
engaged at farming for many years and later on moved to Ox-
ford, Mississippi, where he died Apr. 3, 1900, leaving his family
well provided for. The local paper, the Globe, said on the occasion
of his death :

"Capt. Frank Gentry, one of the oldest and best known citizens of Ox-
ford, died Tuesday morning at seven o'clock. * * Capt. Gentry moved
here from the Mississippi Bottoms several years ago. He was an old Con-
federate soldier, having performed many daring feats during the dark days
of long ago. * * "

1869. Mr. Hightower was born near Stockbridge, Ga. His
parents moved to Atlanta, Ga., where his early boyhood was
spent. His mother died when he was twelve years old, and thus
in early youth he was bereft of a mother's tender care and love.
He entered the Confederate Army in the last years of the war
between the States. After the close of the war, like most all Con-
federate soldiers, he was thrown entirely upon his own resources,
with only a limited education. He proved equal to the occasion,
and by close application to business, soon acquired a reasonable
competency, but by an unfortunate business venture and unwise
choice of a partner, was stripped of his accumulations and he was
left to start anew with the care and responsibilities of a family to
provide for. The same pluck and energy which stood him so well
at first is again enabling him to succeed in business.

Mrs. Hightower is a model housekeeper ; an affectionate wife ;
a congenial companion and a devoted mother. She shares with
her husband his successes and his misfortunes, his joys and his
sorrows. She is a true and faithful helpmeet. Children:

education in the common schools of his native village, attending
for several years a school conducted by Prof. James Stark.
In 1870 the family moved to Montgomery. Here he attended
several schools, the principal one being that of Prof. G. W.
Thomas, who in effect, prepared him for college. In Oct., 1874,
he entered the Howard College, Marion, Ala., a Baptist institu-
tion, and was graduated there in 1877. While in college he won
the Sophomore medal for declamation and was a contributor to
the college paper. In 1878 he was engaged to teach the classics
in the high school of Montgomery. After a year's experience in
teaching, he entered Harvard University as post graduate student.
He here devoted the main part of his time to exploring the library
in Gore Hall, and in the year he was there formed a superficial
acquaintance with the literature of almost every nation. Return-
ing to Ala., in 1879, he entered upon the study of the law, and in
May, 1880, was admitted to the bar. In 1882, he attended the
Summer course in law at the University of Virginia. His first
partner in the practice of the law, was Mr. James Weatherly, now
of Birmingham, Ala. He was later on associated for a short time
with Mr. A. D. Sayre, now judge of the City Court of Montgom-
ery, Ala. In 1885 he moved to Tex., and located in Cleburne,
Johnson Co., going into business with Hon. Tillman Smith, one
of the ablest lawyers at the Tex. bar. He was not pleased with
Texas life, and, returning to Ala., he embarked in journalism as
editor of the Selma Times, a daily newspaper at Selma, Ala., and
the Montgomery Advertiser, of Montgomery, Ala., had this to
say of him :

"He is the most fully equipped young man that has entered daily journal-
ism in this State for a long time."

The Times was a paper of limited circulation for a daily, but
the new editor managed to give it considerable importance by a
bold and uncompromising advocacy of tariff reform, hard money
and a thorough reform of the civil service. After leaving the
Times he joined the staff of the Montgomery Advertiser, the lead-
ing daily in the State, and that paper said of him :

"The Advertiser is pleased to announce this morning that Mr. Thomas
H. Clark is now on its editorial staff. He is a young man of splendid
attainments and his short experience in journalism has shown his gifts and
adaptation for the work of a live newspaper. In scholarship no young
man in Alabama excells him, nor has he many equals in wide acquaintance

with public men and affairs. He was reared in Montgomery and is well
kriown throughout the State, more particularly from his recent connection
with the Selma Times as editorial manager and writer. The Advertiser
congratulates not only itself, but that wide public to whose pleasure and
instruction his talents are from now to contribute."

He did not remain long with the Advertiser, nor longer in jour-
nalism. In Aug., 1887, he was tendered by Gov. Thomas Seay
the position of recording secretary in his office, and, accepting,
held this place during the remainder of Gov. Seay's two terms.
His association with Gov. Seay, he is accustomed to speak of as
among the most valuable experiences of his life. In 1891 he
resumed the practice of the law, and was associated with Mr, W.
H. Thomas, now judge of the criminal division of the City Court
of Montgomery, under the firm name of Clark & Thomas. He
has held a number of public positions. He was during four years'
sessions of the Legislature, assistant secretary of the Senate. He
represented his ward in the City Council of Montgomery, and
resigned this post to enter upon the discharge of his duties as a
member of the House of Representatives. He was elected to the
next succeeding term of the Legislature, and at this term made
speaker of the House. At the close of the session he was pre-
sented by the House with a silver service.

Mr. Clark was alternate-at-large to the Chicago Convention in
1892, and subsequently secretary of the Democratic State Com-
mittee. He has been a frequent contributor to the press on
various subjects, more especially his home paper, The
Advertiser, and the Evening Post and the Nation of N. Y. He
has also delivered a large number of occasional addresses at
Montgomery, Selma, Marion, Auburn, Ala., and Rome, Ga., and
other points. In 1896 he was active in organizing the sound
money movement in Ala., and became the candidate of the
National Democratic party (Palmer and Buckner) for Congress
in the 2d Ala. District. He was, of course, defeated. He has
never been heard to express a syllable of regret at the course he
then took. In Sept., 1897, he was appointed Supt. of the Law
Library of Congress, commonly known as Supreme Court
Library, and held this office for six years. In Dec, 1903, he
resigned this post to re-enter the practice of the law in Washing-
ton, where he now resides.

Apr. 13, 1887, at St. John's Episcopal Church, Montgomery, Ala.,
the rector, the Rev. Mr. Stringfellow, officiating. Miss Marks
was born June 6, 1858. She is a descendant of a long line of
prominent and wealthy ancestry. The founder of the family in
America being the English emigrant Marks, who married Eliza-
beth Hastings. He settled in Va., and had five sons and a daugh-
ter: Peter, John, James, Hastings, Thomas and Sarah. James
Marks, son of the emigrant, was the great, great grandfather of
Carrie Marks Clark. He lived in Albemarle Co., Va., where he
was vestryman in the Fredericksville and Trinity Parish in 1762
(Mead's Old Churches of Va., Vol, H, page 43). He moved to
Ga. soon after 1784. James Marks married Elizabeth Harvie,
one of a family of nine brothers and sisters, Dec. 24, 1771.
She weighed considerably more than three hundred pounds, and,
and, it is said, was one of the most cheerful, sensible and agreeable
women in any country, at any time, and was as good and kind as
she was agreeable.

Mr. Marks was a very small man, weighing only about one hun-
dred and twenty pounds. He was shrewd and sharp-witted. He
was very plain in dress and economical in expenditures. He was
devotedly attached to his wife, and his desire to please her made
him often do what no other motive could have done. Mrs. Marks
loved comfort, and her husband's indisposition to spend money
was overcome so far as to cause him to build her the finest house
on Broad river. Mr. and Mrs. Marks were the first of the Broad
river people to quit the forms of the Episcopal Church for the
devotion of the Methodist. They were the special friends of
Bishop Asbery, who made their house his home when he visited
Georgia. The first organized Methodist congregation on Broad
river was founded in their neighborhood and through their influ-
ence.

him, the son learned principles of mechanics that were of great
value to himself and others in the troublous days at the close

JUDGE THOMAS JEFFERSON* BROWN (37) was born
in Jasper Co., Ga., July 24, 1836, and went with his parents to
Tex. in the winter of 1846-47.

Quoting from Year Book for Tex., igoi; p. 34 (C. W. Raynes) :

" * * * Judge Brown was admitted to the bar at Brenham in Aug.,
1857; graduated from the Law Department of Baylor University (then
at Independence) in 1858; was admitted to the bar by the Supreme Court
of Texas January 6, 1859, and immediately thereafter engaged in the prac-
tice of his profession at McKinney, Collin County; entered the Confeder-
ate Army as Second Lieutenant of Company E, Col. Robert Taylor's regi-
ment of cavalry, and was later promoted to Captain, but, after capable and
gallant service, was compelled to resign by ill-health before the close of the

8o Genealogy of

war; after the general surrender formed a partnership with Hon. J. W.
Throckmorton, which continued until 1885 ; moved to Sherman, Grayson
Co. in 1872, where he has since resided; represented Grayson County in
the House of the Twenty-first and Twenty-second legislatures ; was ap-
pointed district judge in Aug., 1892, and was elected to that position in
Nov. following ; and in May, 1893, was appointed by Governor Hogg Chief
Justice of the Court of Civil Appeals for the Fifth Supreme District, but
before he qualified was appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
by Governor Hogg to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Associate
Justice J. L. Henry. * * * He is a member of the Christian Church
and Masonic fraternity.

By his masterly advocacy of the Railroad Commission bill passed by the
House of the Twenty-first Legislature, through his efforts, and defeated
in the Senate, and by the breadth and soundness of his views and the
courage and ability with which he sustained them, and by the signal quali-
ties of leadership he displayed, he acquired a State reputation.

While thus early distinguishing himself in the arena of politics and
statesmanship, his true forte is that of a lawyer. Successful as a prac-
titoner beyond the limits that usually satisfy ambition, both as regards
reputation and securing the solid rewards that serve as a firm foundation
for it to rest upon, nevertheless, his taste and powers of mind better fit him
for a judge of a court of last resort and in that position he is doing the
portion of his work in life that will be most lasting, most beneficial to
Texas to-day and in the future and earn for him a place on the scroll that
this generation will hand down to later times inscribed with the names
of those who deserve to be honorably remembered by posterity."

McKinney, Collin Co., Tex., Aug. 7, 1859. Children:

Four daughters^ living.

practice of his profession there.

mother and counsellor in her family ; and it is due to her good
sense, judgment, piety and never failing energy and indomitable
will that success has crowned our efiforts to raise and educate
our children, make good citizens of them and lead them to Christ
their Savior. In politics the Browns are Democratic and are
prohibitionists to the core."

PART II

The Parks Family

THE PARKS FAMILY.

FIRST GENERATION.

1.

SAMUEL PARKS is the earliest of the present family of Parks
of which any information is at hand. The ancestors of the fam-
ily were Scotch. They emigrated first from Scotland to Ireland
and thence to America prior to 1750, landed at Charleston, S. C,
and settled in Va.

Samuel Parks resided in Amelia Co., Va., and died there, leav-
ing a widow, Mary Parks, and eight sons and daughters. The
family moved to S. C, and the widow died there.

It is said in Scotland the Parks were agriculturalists, owners and
tillers of the soil. For many years after coming to America, and
even to the present day, for the most part, their descendants have
continued in agricultural pursuits.

They were pioneer settlers in upper S. C, in what is known
as the Piedmont section, noted for its salubrious clime and fer-
tile lands. Here they built their log houses, and, uniting with
one another, erected their neighborhood school houses and church
buildings, to provide for the education of their children and for
religious worship and training.

They were industrious and frugal, established good homes and
were prosperous. They trained their sons and daughters to
habits of industry, frugality and morality, illustrated and ex-
emplified in the honorable and useful lives of their numerous
descendants.

The children of this worthy pioneer and his wife were :

2. i. Thomas^ b. about 1750, and was thrice m.

ii. James, b. about 1752; m. and settled in N. C, and reared
a large family ; had a son, Thomas, who m. Miss Lane
and resided in Kershaw district, S. C.
iii. John, b. about 1754; m. and moved to Ga.
iv. William, b. about 1756; m. and moved West.

SECOND GENERATION.

2.

THOMAS^ PARKS (i) was born in Amelia Co., Va., about
1750 and was thrice married. His first wife was a Miss White,
who bore him one child, a son, WiUiam, and died. The descend-
ants of William Parks are very numerous and are a highly
respected and useful people. Thomas Parks' second wife was a
Miss Hornbuckle, who died about six months from date of their
marriage. His third and last wife was Annie, daughter of John
and Amelia Brockman, a prominent and highly respected North
Carolina family. He settled in Laurens district, S. C, near the
Enoree river, some four miles west of the present town of Wood-
ruff, in Spartanburg Co., S. C, where at the time of his death,
Dec. 27, 183 1, he owned a good plantation, nineteen negroe slaves
and other valuable property. His son. Col. James Parks, ad-
ministered on the estate and the records of the court at Laurens
show most excellent management of the same, one remarkable
feature being the appraised valuation and sales account were
very nearly the same amount. The family "grandfather" clock
sold for fifty dollars. Thomas and Annie Parks reared a large
and interesting family. He died honored and respected by his
neighbors. Mrs. Parks died, date not known, loved and es-
teemed. She was a consistent member of the Baptist Church;
an excellent housekeeper, industrious and frugal; a congenial
companion, a true helpmate. The sons and daughters were
trained to habits of industry and frugality and were educated in
the neighborhood schools and attended worship at the neighbor-

Both removed from Virginia to South Carolina in 1789, he from
Lunenburg and she from another burg only a few miles away,
and settled in the vicinity of the present town of Woodruff, S. C.
Both he and his wife were of Scotch-Irish descent. The wife was
a relative of General Joseph E. Johnson, who was also a native of
Virginia. Ephraim Drummond, coming from a family that was
full of pluck and energy, made his start in business by raising to-
bacco and rolling it to Charleston in hogsheads. He was success-
ful in raising corn, and his place was often called Egypt. He
served for a time in the Revolutionary war when only sixteen
years of age."

Jared Drummond died Oct, 8, 1874. He and his wife reared
a large and interesting family. They were the parents of fifteen
children, thirteen of whom, two sons and eleven daughters, lived
to be grown.

ELIZABETH^ MEADOR (10) was born Feb. 6, 1820, in
Laurens district, S, C, and married James R. George, at Lithonia,
DeKalb Co., Ga., in Oct. 1844. She was a consistent member of
the Baptist Church. She died at Lithonia in 1878. We find in
the History of the Baptist Denomination of Ga. (Christian
index), the following sketch of the ministerial life of Rev. Jas. R.
George :

28 Genealogy of

"This useful minister of the gospel must be numbered with
those of whose life we have been vmable to procure an adequate
sketch. But his 'memory smells sweet and blossoms in the dust'
and we do the little we can to perpetuate it. A native of Georgia,
Rev. James R. George was born July 31, 1792, and settled in early
life as an agriculturist, we presume, in DeKalb Co. It was not
until his thirty-fifth year, midway between the cradle and the
grave, that he engaged in the service of the Lord. At that date
(in 1827) he united with the Macedonia Church and devoted him-
self with Commendable zeal to everything promotive of its pros-
perity. Moving for fifteen years in a private sphere, he won the
highest esteem of the brotherhood for sound judgment and con-
sistent Christian deportment. His church called him to ordina-
tion in 1842, when his age had grown to half a century. The
presbytery consisted of Revs. Luke Robinson, Henry Collins and
James Nix. This late entrance on the ministry was followed by
twenty years of faithful labor. He rendered pastoral services to
Churches in DeKalb, Gwinnett and Newton counties, the Lord
crowning the work of his hands with the conversion of sinners
and the edification of saints. He took part in the constitution of
Rock (now Stone) Mountain Association. In 1846, feeling the
importance of forming a Baptist Church in Lithonia, he entered,
with a few others, into its organization. From a small member-
ship that body has grown in numerical strength and efficiency
until it ranks with the stronger churches of the association. Not
here alone, but throughout his field of operation, evidences of
usefulness marking his ministrations still remain, and his name
is held in grateful remembrance by those who were old enough
to have enjoyed them. His death occurred April 6, 1862, when his
life had nearly reached the appointed bound of three score years
and ten. He died as he had long lived, in hope of a blessed im-
mortality, with these words on his lips. 'I resign myself to the
will of God,' he passed from earth to the rest which remaineth."

EMMA JOSEPHINE^ DRUMMOND (11) was born May
25, 1837, in Spartanburg district, S. C, was educated in the com-

Mr. Bobo was born in Spartanburg district, S. C, Feb. 29,
1836. His early education and preparation for college was ob-
tained in the village schools. He was graduated at Emery Col-
lege, Macon, Ga., in 1855. He taught school at Woodruff, S. C,
in 1856, where he met Miss Drummond and they were married.
He subsequently read law in his father's office in Spartanburg
and was admitted to the bar in i860. He was a young man of
much promise for a useful life and impressed everyone with the
purity of his character and personal worth. He had scarcely
made his maiden speech at the bar when his country called him
to the scenes of war and he obeyed. In the latter part of 1861 he
assisted in raising Company "E" and entered the service as lieu-
tenant under Capt. Woodruff in Holcomb's Legion. He soon be-
came acting adjutant of the regiment and was in twelve engage-
ments besides numerous skirmishes incidental to the service. He
was a gallant and brave soldier, a true patriot, a sincere friend
and Christian gentleman. He was captured with his regiment at
Five Forks two weeks before the surrender at Appomattox and
sent to Johnson Island, where he remained until June. After the
war Col. Bobo resumed the practice of his profession and became
very prominent as a lawyer. He was a bold and forceful speaker,
a consistant partisan in political matters and purely Democratic
in all his views. He worked vigorously in 1876 for the redemp-
tion of the State from carpet-bag rule, and ever afterwards did
all in his power for the party. He was thrown from his buggy
on May 15, 1886, his head striking a stump, resulting in fatal
injuries from which he never recovered consciousness and died
May 19. He had served in both branches of the State Legisla-
ture since 1882, and at the time of his unfortunate death was
Senator from Spartanburg county. He was stricken down in the
full tide of his usefulness and manhood, leaving to his children
the priceless heritage of a good name. Children :

CORNELIA MEDORA^ DRUMMOND (11) was born Mar.
II, 1839, in Spartanburg district, S. C, was educated in the com-
mon schools and married George Washington Lester, May 28,
1863. Mr. Lester was born at Buenarista Cotton Mills, Green-
ville district, S. C, July 30, 1833. He received only a limited
education in early life. His three brothers had a collegiate edu-
cation, but their halth was impaired by hard study and close con-
finement ; all were graduated however. George's father concluded
to raise him to work and attend to business, deeming an indus-
trial education of more real advantage than literary. Mr. Lester
joined the Methodist Church when quite young; was a class
leader for several years. He then was superintendent of the Sab-
bath school for eight successive years. Cornelia, his wife, joined
his church after their marriage.

In 1861 G. W. Lester volunteered and went into the Confed-
erate Army and was first lieutenant of Company "F," Hampton's
Legion, and was in the first battle of Manassas. When an order
was given to "charge the enemy up the hill to the Henry House,"
the Confederates were reluctant to start ; their flag was down.
Lieutenant Lester took it up and advancing some twenty paces
called: "South Carolina, follow your colors," and immediately
there was a yell heard along the lines and the order was instantly
obeyed. Lieutenant Lester kept ahead, carrying the colors in the
thickest of the fray. One or two pieces passed by and pressed
the enemy, who was at this time retreating in very bad order; a
rout. Lester saw a loose horse about midway between the two
contending forces, ran in and captured and brought it out while
shot were flying about him from both sides. Soon after this
Lester's father, who superintended Lester & Sons cotton mills,
died, and he was detailed to take charge of the mills. He ran the
factory successfully day and night, and sold about one-third of

The Parks Family. 35

the products to the Confederate government at one-third its mar-
ket value, and after Johnson's surrender, Lester & Brothers, who
were now the owners of the cotton mills, accepted pay for their
products in Confederate money, several hundred thousand dol-
lars. This, of course, was worthless. Having taken cotton in
exchange for products of the mill in part, they held at the close
of the war some three hundred or more bales, which if they had
sold at prices then prevailing, would have made them indepen-
dent; but this would have necessitated dismissing their poor
operatives, many of whom were the wives and children of Con-
federate soldiers, and caused them to suffer for want of employ-
ment. They decided to manufacture the cotton and also about
this time made an unfortunate venture in a mercantile business
at Greenville, S. C. In about two years the disastrous results of
the mercantile venture and decline in value of the products of
the cotton mill, held in New York by their factors, bankrupted
Lester Brothers. George W. Lester, now having arranged to
control the mill, undertook to operate it on his own account, but
the money panic and consequent stringency in money matters of
1872, made it necessary for him to close the mill, finding himself
stripped of all earthly goods. Like the honest man he is, he sur-
rendered everything to his creditors. Thus the patriotic, humane,
public-spirited and prosperous manufacturer was reduced from
afifluence to penury. Although past the meridian of life he and
his devoted wife began the battle of life anew. They settled at
Williamston, S. C, where they reared and educated their children,
four daughters and one son, who are meeting the responsibilities
of life bravely, honored and honering their parents in their up-
right and useful lives.

In his declining years Mr. Lester finds it necessary to devote
himself to business. Bravely and cheerfully are he and his good
wife resigned to this. Mrs. Lester has been to her husband, the
mainspring of his life. Trained in early life to habits of industry
and economy, skilled in domestic handcraft, true and faithful,
she has always been ready to do her part, but never was the worth
of a good wife, a true helpmeet, more fully realized than now.

Mr. Lester at one time took employment as a collector and his
experiences as such led him to compose the following plaintive
poem:

36 Genealogy of

COLLECTOR'S PLAINT.

1. With cheerful heart, but weary feet
I plod along the hard paved street,
Turning here, and turning there,
Going in almost everywhere

Just to make a dollar or two
To pay my rent when it was due.

2. From ward to ward, and hill to hill,
I travel along with every bill —
Just to hear the same old song
Which I've heard, too, very long;
Not a cent to-day I have for you
To pay your rent when it is due.

3. Still on I go, from door to door.
To hear the song I heard before.
Next time you come I surely will
Be prepared to pay my bill.
This is making a dollar or two
To pay my rent when it falls due.

4. Then out of town and up the hill
To find a man who owes a bill,
Shunning his dog that comes at me
By climbing high a friendly tree.
All this to make a dollar or two
To pay your rent when it is due.

5. As thus I go, day after day,
Until my hair is turning gray,
Making friends, most everywhere.

Some these are homely, and some are fair,
And some pay me a dollar or two
To meet my rent when it is due.

6. I am now old, it won't be long

I hope to hear that Heavenly song:
On earth your toils are at an end.
Now don your bills and you ascend
Up through the etherial blue
To where the rents are never due.

hood, and from that time to the memorable 13th day of Apr.,
1889, when she joined the Church Triumphant, she lived in strict
consistency with the obligations assumed. For eleven years she
was a great sufferer, and during this time while patiently bearing
her affliction, she was a fine subject to illustrate the Master's cau-
tion, "Let not thy left hand know what they right hand doeth,"
and it is no exaggeration to say she easily took her place among
the best Christian women.

Mr. Switzer's life work is farming. He is a faithful and zeal-

Haygood's brigade, Longstreet's corps of Lee's army. He was

at Point Lookout, Md., until July i, 1865. Reached his home in
S. C. July 5, 1865, thus enjoying the hospitality ( ?) of his cap-
tors after the war was over. While a prisoner he perceived that
some of his fellow prisoners (without any effort on their part)
had a better time than others and did not have quite so much un-
cooked salt mackerel to eat. Learning they were Masons, he de-
termined to become one. Therefore after (in 1876) going to
Ark. he was made a Mason at Meridian, Ashley Co., Ark., Lodge
No. 214, in 1872. Joined the brotherhood of K. of P. at Ham-
burg, Ark., in 1891, Lodge No. 31. He resides at Wilmot, Ark.

PART III

The Brockman and Dean Families

THE BROCKMAN AND DEAN

FAMILIES.*

So far as can be ascertained from a careful examination of
works relating to English and other families, the name Brockman,
in early times, is found nowhere except in the County of Kent,
England. At this time one of the principal families in that county
bears the name. Quite an extensive account of it is given in
Burke's Landed Gentry.

No definite connection is known to exist between the English
and American families. The similarity in family names and the
recurrence of the names Henry, Thomas and John in each gene-
ration of both families, however, leads to the conclusion that they
are the same.

The name was originally Brookman, but the second o became
substituted into c and it is now written Brockman.

When the family came to America or who the first ancestor
was is not known to the writer. They resided in Va., probably in
Orange or Albemarle county. In the latter county persons
of the name lived so late as 1835. On the pension roll of that year
is found the name of Joseph Brockman, a private in the Va. line.
He is there put down as 91 years of age.

JOHN BROCKMAN, the founder of the family of that name,
of whom this genealogy treats, married Amiclia Martin.t Their

*The compiler is indebted to Hon. Thomas M. Otven, Director of the
Department of Archives and History, for Alabama, for much of the
information in this genealogy relating to the Brockman family, and for
courteous and generous aid in the preparation of the entire work.

t It is thought by some of the descendants, that Mrs. Brockman's maiden
name was Edwards.

woman of intelligence, of great strength of memory and wide acquaintance

daughter Mary, who married Joel Dean, supposed to have been
their first child, was born Jan. 7, 1759. This would probably
place Mr, Brockman's birth at 1735-40. The family resided first
in Va., then in N. C, and later on in S. C, probably in Greenville
district where many of their descendants still live. In the Bible
of his grandson, Col. Thomas Brockman, is recorded the death of
John Brockman, Sr., Aug. 13, 1825. He was probably 85-90 years
old. Children :

SECOND GENERATION.

2.

MARY- BROCKMAN (i) was born Jan. 7, 1759, and was
united in marriage to Joel Dean Sept. 5, 1775.

Joel Dean was born Feb. 16, 1755. He was a son of Charles
and Ursula Majoribanks (Marchbanks) Dean of Va. We know
nothing of the personal history of Charles and Ursula Dean, but
*»* that they were highly respected and useful people is demonstrated
and exemplified in the honorable and useful lives of their numer-
ous descendants.

Dr. J. B. O. Landrum's History of Spartanburg Co., S. C.
(1900), p. 334, says:

"In the list containing the names of the heads of families in
Spartanburg County as shown by the original census returns of
first census taken in 1790 * * * we find but one name of
the Dean family, being that of Joel Dean, Sr., from whom all the
families of this name in said county have descended."

"Joel Dean was born Feb. 16, 1755, emigrated from Virginia

with her kindred, said her grandmother, Amelia Brockman's maiden name
was Martin. Mrs. Clark's association with her mother, the daughter of
John and Amelia Brockman for many years, together with other reliable
sources of information should dispel all doubt of the correctness of her
statement.
Mrs. Brockman may have been a descendant of the Edwards family.

to North CaroHna, and from there to South CaroHna, settHng
on Enoree River in the territory afterwards embraced in Spartan-
burg County. He was a progressive farmer for his day and time
and a highly respected citizen. He died February 5, 1842, being
87 years of age. His wife, Mary Brockman, who was born Janu-
ary 7, 1759, died Oct. 28, 1825, in the 67th year of her age." Their
children were:

6. i. JoHN^ b. Sept. 26, 1776; m. Mary Farrow.

of one son:

HENRY2 BROCKMAN (i) was born in Va., Dec. 18, 1764,
and married his cousin, Susannah Patterson. They moved from
Va., to S. C, about 1790-95, and settled in Spartanburg or Green-
ville district. Mr. Brockman was a planter and owned slaves.
He died in Greenville district, S. C, Apr. 11, 1835. His will
dated July 19, 1834, is on record in the Probate Judge's office at
Greenville, S. C, Book B of wills, p. 135-136. The will shows
him to have been a man of substance.

Mrs. Susannah (Patterson) Brockman was born in Va. in
1765 and died in Greenville district, S. C, June 11, 1842. The
mortal remains of Mr. and Mrs. Brockman rest in the family
graveyard at the Brockman homestead, about midway between
Spartanburg and Greenville, and not far from Reidville.

last words were : "I am ready to depart and be with my Saviour."

"Blessed are the dead

JOHN^ DEAN (2) was born in Guilford Co., North Caro
lina, Sept. 26, 1776, and married Mary, eldest daughter of Capt.
Thomas Farrow and his wife Rebecca (Woods) Farrow, Dec. 26,

The Brockman and Dean Families. 5

1797. Miss Farrow was born in Spartanburg, S. C, Apr. 30,
1780 and died Aug. 30, 1830. She is said to have been a lady of
remarkable beauty of person and noble qualities of mind and
heart. They were both baptised by R. Shackleford, Jan. 9, 1803.
Capt. Thomas Farrow, the father of Airs. Dean was a Revolu-
tionary soldier.

John Dean, after the death of his wife Rebecca, married
Nancy Nichols, a widow. Nancy Nichols was the mother of
Maj. Geo. Nichols, who married Kate Crook, and the grand-
mother of the Nichols of Spartanburg, John, George and Frank.
Mr. Dean died Jan. 27, 1852, and the following obituary ap-
peared in a local paper: "Departed this life at his residence,
near the Mountain Shoals, Spartanburg District, South Carolina,
on Saturday, 27th January, 1852, John Dean, Esq., in the sev-
enty-sixth year of his age ; being born in Guilford County, North
Carolina, a few months after the Declaration of Independence,
viz: 26th September, 1776. Born at a period when every fac-
ulty of the mind was called into action, he early acquired habits
of decision and self-reliance beyond his years. While his father,
under General Rutherford, was striking for liberty, or engaged
in repelling the attacks of hostile Indians he was left at home, the
only protector of a numerous family, of which he was the eldest.
While still very Young, his parents emigrated to this district,
where they lived and died, and where early in life he was united
in marriage to Mary Farrow, eldest daughter of the Revolution-
ary Patriot, Capt. Thomas Farrow. Nearly fifty years have
elapsed since they were both "buried with Christ in Baptism,"
and more than twenty years since the beloved partner of his youth
preceded him to a better state of existence, but the religion
which he then professed failed not to be his support in the trials
of a long life, and be rod and staff through the dark Valley of
the Chamber of death. An upright man, "just in his dealings,"
he brought no reproach upon the name of Christ by an unhal-
lowed grasping after wealth, and though he has left no overgrown
fortune to his many children and their descendants he has left
a nobler inheritance, a name without fear and without reproach.
Of his eleven sons and daughters who reached maturity nine
survive him, and those who are absent, as well as to his brothers
and sisters in distant States, it will be a consolation to know that

he retained his faculties unimpaired, and that almost the last act
of expiring consciousness was to breathe a prayer so full of
imagery, exalted faith and divine resignation as to appear to those
who heard it almost the language of inspiration. No struggle
marked the close of a life that had been passed with Christian
dignity and consistency, but calmly as an infant slumbers, he
fell asleep in Jesus. The funeral discourse was preached by the
Rev. J. G. Landrum from the 92 Pslam: "The righteous shall
flourish like the palm tree," and on the 19th his mortal remains
were laid by her who had gone before. Though the day was
intensely cold, the number who attended his last resting place
will best attest the estimation in which he was held by those
among whom he lived and died and those who mourn such a
father while they must bow in submission to the eternal decree, it
remains to them to cherish, imitate, and to follow his example."

HENRY^ DEAN (2) was born in the State of S. C, Feb. 11,
1794, and received only a common school education. He enlisted
in the Army of the United States and served under Gen. Manning
in the War of 1812 between the U. S. and Great Briton, and was
honorably discharged at the close of the war. He and his cousin
Frances, a daughter of Thomas Parks, of Laurens district, S. C,
were united in marriage at the residence of her parents Sept. 26,
1815. Frances Parks was born in Laurens district, S. C, Dec.
2y, 1799, and was educated in the common schools. (See No. 2,
Part n, Parks family.)

Mr. Dean, after his marriage, settled in Spartanburg district,
S. C, until 1830, when he, with his family, moved to Tenn., and
settled in Bedford Co. of that State. After he moved to Tenn.
he was elected to the office of magistrate, and served the people
as such for eighteen years. When parties at variance came before
him to try their cases, he would take them aside, to themselves,
and try to induce them to settle their troubles. He seldom failed.
This course reduced the size of his legal docket and lessened
his fees, but it helped his neighbors, gained for him influence, and
left him a good name, more to be desired than riches or earthly
honors. He was a good law abiding and useful citizen ; a con-
sistent member and elder of the Christian Church ; esteemed
for his probity, his upright dealing with his fellovvmen and for
his conscientious discharge of official duty. The fragrance of his

life lingers in the community in which he lived, though he passed
away a third of a century ago. He was noted for his good sense,
kindly spirit, familiarity with the Scriptures and as a peace-
maker.

Mrs. Dean was a model housekeeper, industrious and frugal,
a worthy and fitting helpmeet to her husband, and was a con-
sistent church member, loved and esteemed by her neighbors.

MAJ. HOSEA JEFFERSON* DEAN (6) was born July 11,
1806, and was twice married. His first wife was Elizabeth El-
len Mills. They were married in 1834. Mrs. Dean died in
1838.

Maj. Dean's second wife was Mary Owen, of Washington, D.
C. She was born in London, England, in 1822 and died in Spar-
tanburg, S. C, in 1886. Maj. Dean died in 1855.

Dr. J. B. O. Eandrum's History of Spartanburg County, S. C,
( 1900) p. 340-41 says of Hon. Hosea J. Dean. ''* * * * *
The careful training of pious parents and the influence of a fam-
ily of devoted sisters did much in the formation of his character,
and made him while yet a boy, remarkable for a certain dignified
manliness of deportment which belongs to him throughout his
entire life. These were continued with the most decided and
assiduous care for his mother and sisters, which he always mani-
fested. Among the most prominent traits in his character were
self-reliance, fortitude and truth. At the age of about twenty-
one years he entered the law office of Colonel Patillo Farrow, at
Laurens Court House, S. C. In 1828 Maj. Dean was admitted
to the practice and at once entered into co-partnership with Colo-
nel Farrow, his preceptor at Laurens. In 1829 he returned to his
native district and settled at Spartanburg. He was subsequently
elected by the State Legislature Commissioner of Equity for
Spartanburg District. He entered upon the duties of the office
and was a model officer, equal to any in the State. In 1844 he
resigned and resumed the practice of his profession, in which he

continued with eminent abiUty until near the time of his death,
which occurred August 3, 1855.

Maj. Dean was elected to the State Legislature in 1850 and
again in 1852, and showed himself to be an able and discrete poli-
tician and was a popular and useful member. About 1830, Maj.
Dean embraced religion and in 1832 united with the Baptist
Church. He assisted in the organization of the First Baptist
Church of Spartanburg, the success of which was largely due to
his wise council and support. In 1834 Maj. Dean married Eliz-
abeth Ellen, second daughter of Colonel John Mills, of Ruther-
ford, N. C, a lady universally beloved and respected, who died
in 1838, leaving one son, John Mills Dean.

On the ninth of August, 1840, he again married Mary, only
daughter of Edward Owen, of Washington, D. C, a lady of tal-
ents and education."

in Spartanburg district, S. C, and after receiving a literary and
classical education read Medicine with Dr. R. M. Young, at
Spartanburg. He graduated in Medicine at Lexington, Ky., and
practiced his chosen profession for a quarter of a century, a
faithful public servant and good physician, dropping words of
encouragement and sympathy to his patients, as well as adminis-
tering to their body ailments. He served the district in the
Legislature from 1842 to 1850. His character as a legislator, for
truth, integrity and devotion to principle was irreproachable. A
Presbyterian by faith and profession, but liberal and Catholic
enough to recognize all Christians as brethren.

His character was symmetrical, as near the great model of per-
fection as is usually seen in this world. In several respects his
example was striking. First in punctuality, second in his tender
regard for the feelings of others, both in his social intercourse
with the members of the Church and in the discharge of his duties
as a Church officer. Third in the prompt discharge of his pe-
cuniary obligations to the Church, fourth, in the moral support
which he rendered his pastor. He died May 9, 1879. Mr. Miller
was twice married ; first to Adaline Moore. Miss Moore was edu-
cated at Barhamville, S. C.

COLONEL JOHN MILLS^ DEAN (27) was born at Spar-
tanburg C. H., S. C, Aug. 25, 1835.

Dr. J. B. O. Landrum, in his history of Spartanburg Co.,
(1900), says of him:

"At the age of twenty-one he graduated at the South Carolina
Military Academy. Choosing civil engineering as his profession,
he spent the winter of 1855-56 as a member of the engineering
corps on the New York and Erie Railroad, perfecting himself in
practical work. Inheriting a number of slaves, he adopted a
planter's life and settled in Van Buren Co., Ark. At the first call
for volunteers by the Governor of Arkansas he raised a company
and went to Little Rock, where in organizing he was commis-
sioned Lieutenant Colonel of the 7th (Ark.) Regiment Infantry.
The regiment at once went into active service in the Trans-
Mississippi Department. * * * "

The Brockman and Dean Families. 37

Landrum, continuing, says of the battle of Shiloh :
"From six in the morning until late in the afternoon Colonel
Dean's command was in the thickest of the fight. Leading an
assault across the "sunken road," he fell about 5 p. m., shot in
the neck by a sharpshooter, he died instantly. One of his com-
rades wrote: 'The men faltered a little as they reached the road.
So the colonel ran in front, cheering them on, waving his sword,
and as he gave the command. Fire ! fell with his face to the
foe.' General Hardie, in speaking to the mother of Colonel Dean,
said: 'Madam, your son was a brave man. I sometimes thought
in action he was almost foolhardy, but he was a brave soldier and
knew no fear, only inspiration under fire. His promotion had
been approved at headquarters and the papers reached me after
his death.' "

Colonel Dean died unmarried in his twenty-seventh year. A
true Spartan hero. "A better soldier," said General Hardie,
"never lived, a braver man never died."

EDWARD JEFFERSON DEAN {2^). Dr. J. B. O. Land-
rum's History of Spartanburg Co., S. C. (1900), p. 346, says:

"Captain Edward Jefferson Dean, second son of Major H. J.
Dean, was born in Spartanburg January, 1842. Was attending
St. James College in Maryland when the call was made by the
Governor of South Carolina for volunteers. He returned home
at once and joining one of the first companies raised Company
K (Spartan Rifles), Fifteenth Regiment, South Carolina Volun-
teers, which left for Charleston April 13, 1861, and after the fall
of Fort Sumpter went to Va. He was for one and a half years
a corporal in Company K, when he obtained a transfer to the
Twenty-second Regiment South Carolina Volunteers, and was
elected Captain of Company C of said regiment, which occupied
the trenches at Petersburg at the time of the fearful mine explo-
sion, July 30, 1864. Colonel Daniel G. Fleming, of the Twenty-
second, was in command of the line that morning and he with
his adjutant and orderly were buried under the mountain of
earth. To this day they have never been found. Company C was
dug out one by one by the enemy and made prisoners. Captain
Dean, with other officers, was imprisoned at Fort Delaware, in

38 Genealogy of

the mouth of the Delaware River. Here for eleven months he
was confined in miserable quarters, exposed to the blazing sun of
summer and the bitter cold of winter, and limited in supply of
water, food and coal. When released after the surrender of Gen-
eral Lee, Captain Dean's health was a wreck. He settled on a
plantation in Calhoun County, Ala., hoping to regain his health
and strength, but after several years of suffering, he laid down a
life sacrificed for his country. He died in 1883 and is buried at
Talladega, Ala., in the churchyard of the Baptist Church, of
which he was a deacon. He was a gentleman of fine appearance,
measuring six feet and five inches, erect and dignified ; was of a
quiet, generous temperament, attaching to himself strong friends
when he lived."

Captain Dean was twice married. His first wife was a Miss
Smith. His second wife was Evie Russell. One child of first
marriage :

Dr. J. B. O. Landrum's history of Spartanburg County, S. C,
(1900), says of Dr. Fleming:

"Dr. C. E. Fleming, son of James David and Sarah Boatwright
Fleming, was born in Columbia, S. C, Aug. 29th, 1835 ; gradu-
ated in the South Carolina College in 1855, with degree of A. B.
and A. M. In March, 1858, he graduated from the Medical De-
partment of the Unversity of Pennsylvania and began the prac-
tice in Spartanburg in 1859, which he continued until the out-
break of the Civil War. He responded to the first call for vol-
unteers by the Governor of the State, and in the spring of 1861
became Second Lieutenant of Company K, Spartanburg Rifles,
5th Regiment South Carolina Volunteers, which was among the
first companies to leave Spartanburg for service. He served
with his company for one year, when he was appointed surgeon
of the 22d Regiment South Carolina Volunteers, which position
he held until the surrender at Appomattox. After the war Dr.
Fleming engaged in business pursuits and was identified with

The Brockman and Dean Families, 39

extensive manufacturing and other interests, was a fine business
man, influential in business circles and in his church of which he
was a devoted and zealous member. He died June 23, 1894, and
of him the Spartanburg Herald said: 'Dr. Fleming was a man
whose life was that of a typical South Carolina gentleman, the
soul of honor — high in all his words, deeds and thoughts, but
tender and sympathetic as a woman. In all the relations of life
he was the exemplar of exhalted manhood, beloved by all who
knew him * * * ' " Children :

college boy failed and he was brought home to die by his faith-
ful servant. After long weeks and months of illness he returned
to his regiment and served with it until the surrender at Appo-
mattox.

HON. JAMES^ CROOK* (76) late President Alabama Rail-
road Commission.

HON. JAMES CROOK.

President of the Aiw\bama Railroad Commission, Statesman

AND Soldier.

The President of the Alabama Railroad Commission is one of
Calhoun's most distinguished sons, Hon. James Crook.

Maj. Crook is one of the most prominent men in Alabama pol-
itics to-day. He has been many times honored by the Democrats
of Alabama and at the last Democratic State convention he was
chosen chairman of that body.

Maj. James Crook, Jr., was born at Alexandria, Calhoun coun-
ty, October 12, 1841, and is a son of Jno. M. Crook, Sr., and Mar-
garet (Miller) Crook, natives of Spartanburg district, S. C.

John M. Crook, Sr., was born in 1810, and came to Alabama
in 1834. He was a lawyer and farmer by profession and occupa-
tion, and took an active part in politics, though declining all offi-
cial position for himself. He was a delegate to the Secession Con-
vention of i860, and took a prominent part in the deliberations of
that body.

The Crook family came originally from Wales, settling first in
Virginia, and moving from there into South Carolina. James
Crook, Sr., the paternal grandfather of Maj. James Crook, Jr.,
was reared and educated in South Carolina, and had the honor of
representing the county (then district) of Spartanburg, different
times in both branches of the State Legislature. He married a
]\Iiss Owen, a lady of Scotch-Irish descent, and in 1834, came to
Alabama. Here he purchased large tracts of fertile lands and de-
voted himself to agriculture. Samuel Miller, (the maternal grand-

father of Maj. James Crook, Jr.) and his wife, who was a Miss
Dean, were of Scotch-Irish extraction, and Samuel Miller was a
soldier in the Revolutionary War. A few years prior to the War
for Independence, a large number of Scotch-Irish settled along
the foothills of the Blue Ridge in Pennsylvania, Virginia, North
and South Carolina, when their farther pilgrimage was arrested
by the beautiful scenery, fertile lands and salubrious climate of
upper South Carolina.

Here they built their cabins near springs of cool and delicious
water, erected school houses and churches, and were soon living
in peace and plenty, such as they had never known in the mother
country. There both had been denied them by the cruelties of
religious persecutions.

No grander specimens of humanity have been produced any-
where on earth than those who were born and reared in this "Pied-
mont Region," and should we take their achievements from Amer-
ican history, it would be robbed of some of its grandest successes
in war, in statesmanship and religion.

Not long were those noble pioneers left in the enjoyment of the
blessings which Providence had so bountifully bestowed upon
them. Some of those same Scotch-Irish were the first at Meck-
lenburg to declare their independence of the government which
they had learned to distrust before crossing the ocean.

Among the first to take up the arms were Crook, Owens, Dean
and John Miller, of the Tiger river settlement, in what is now
called Spartanburg county, S. C. All four of those men were
great-grandfathers of Maj. James Crook, Jr., the subject of this
sketch. The three first named served gallantly throughout the
War for Independence in the American army. The last named,
John Miller, was killed by Tories and Indians during the year
1775. The assassins were hiding under a bridge over which he
had to pass on his way from Fort Nicholas to his home. Fort
Nicholas was situated a short distance from the scene of the oc-
currence, on North Tiger river, and Miller was going for sup-
plies for his own and other families then being protected at the
Fort. A thrilling account of his death is recorded in Howe's his-
tory of the Presbyterian Church in South Carolina. He left one
son, Samuel Miller, who, seven years later, took part in the battle
of Cowpens. The last named was the maternal grandfather of

The Brockman and Dean Families. 67

Major Crook, who thus had four great-grandfathers and a grand-
father in the Revokitionary War, an honor of ancestry which can
be claimed by but few living men. Samuel Miller was subsequent-
ly sheriff of Spartanburg county, at a time when that office com-
bined the duties of the present clerk and probate judge.

Major Crook was educated at the Universities of Alabama and
Virginia. From the latter institution he took his departure shortly
before the end of his last term, and in June, 1861, enlisted in Com-
pany D, Tenth Alabama Regiment, as a private soldier. In 1862
he was promoted to first lieutenant ; in 1864 he was made captain,
and later on was promoted to the rank of major of cavalry. Soon
after his transfer to the cavalry service, he was captured, and was
imprisoned on Johnson's Island until the close of the war. Prior
to his capture he had participated in many hotly contested battles.

After the cessation of hostilities, he returned to Alexandria, and
during the following year, at Jacksonville, he began the study of
law in the office of Hon. W. H. Forney. He was admitted to the
bar in 1867 and at once entered upon a successful practice of his
profession. In that year he was made chairman of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee of his county, in which capacity he
served for six years, and was contemporaneously a member of
State Democratic Executive Committee. In 1868 he was a Sey-
mour and Blair elector, and made a very thorough and active can-
vass of his district. In 1869 he was elected as the nominee of the
Democratic party to the lower House of the General Assembly.
In 1867 he was appointed by Governor Houston to the highly hon-
orable and responsible position of a trustee of the State Uni-
versity, and in 1883 he was made, by statute a director in the Nor-
mal School at Jacksonville, in both of which capacities he is still
acting. He continued to give his attention to the practice of his
profession until 1881, when he was elected Railroad Commis-
sioner, with Hon. Walter L. Bragg as president and Hon. Charles
P. Ball, associate. He has since been elected president of the
Railroad Commission.

Major Crook was married to Miss Annie E. Ponder, of Mont-
gomery, Ala., in 1868, by which marriage he has a son, James
Forney Crook.* Mrs. Crook died in 1869, and in 1871, Major

^James Forney Crook is connected with the press in Chicago.

primary education was received at private schools of the city. In
the fall of 1866 he entered the Virginia Military Institute, and

under C. D, Melton, Esq., and at the same time attended the law
department of the South Carolina College, graduating with the
degree of LL. B., in 1871. The same year Capt. Arthur entered
in the practice of law, which he continued until elected Clerk of

"Capt. Arthur was elected clerk in November, 1880, and quali-
fied in December of the same year. Since that time he has served
without interruption, being re-elected four consecutive times.

" Capt. Arthur was a member of the Knights of Pythias and a
Mason. In the latter order he stood very high, having taken all
the degrees except the Scottish rite. He was past eminent com-
mander of the Columbia Commandery, No. 2 ; past thrice illus-
trious master of Union Council, No. 5 ; past master Richland
Lodge, No. 9, and past district grand deputy master for the then

For 17 years he has served as clerk and has made a faithful and
efficient officer. His friends were numbered only by those who
knew him. He was a brave, true and good man, one who always
worked for the good of his city, county and State. He was a
noble-hearted, generous man and many will have cause to lament
his untimely end."

PART IV

The Davis Family

THE DAVIS FAMILY

FIRST GENERATION.

1.

JONATHAN^ DAVIS, who was the founder of the Davis
family in the United States of which the following account
treats, was born in England about 1730, and came to America
when quite young. We have more than one account of his early
history. Dr. John D. Garrard, late of Birmingham, Ala., who
was a great-grandson and who had devoted much time collecting
information relating to his ancestry said :

"Jonathan Davis was born in England about 1730, and died in Wilkes
Co., Ga., in Feb. or Mar., 1818. His father died when he was quite small
and left him and a younger brother and perhaps one or two sisters, as well
as his mother, who married again. The step-father treated the boys
badly and Jonathan ran away when about twelve j^ears old, and made his
way to America."

Another story of his early life is that "he was captured off the
coast of Wales when but a lad and brought to New York on a
piratic tramp trading vessel and disposed of upon some terms to
a New York merchant, who afterwards assisted him in making
a start in life."

The earliest reliable account we have of Jonathan Davis was
about the time of his marriage to Lucy Gibbs, a daughter of a
prominent Va. family. They were married about 1756. Miss
Gibbs was born about 1738 and died in Wilkes Co., Ga., about
1818.

Mr. Davis bought lands and settled in Orange Co., Va., where
his children all grew up and were married before he left Va., and
settled in Wilkes Co., about 1803. He gave his farm to his son
William, who moved into the house with his parents some time
before their death. (See copy of his will page 2.) Jonathan
Davis and his wife were the parents of nine or more children.
We find in his will that eight are named as legatees ; we have

2 Genealogy of

no record of any others, but tradition has it that there were two
other sons, Jonathan and Reuben. It is said Jonathan died of
fever when about eighteen years old. Reuben must also have
died young or in early manhood, as we have no account of de-
scendants, and a perusal of the will discloses the fact that Jona-
than Davis was scrupulously exact in distributing his property
equally among his children. (See the will.) It is quite evident if
he had other children than those named in his will they had died
without living issue.

We find in Catljart's Baptist Encyclopedia a sketch of the
life of his son, Rev. William Davis. He speaks of "the con-
version of his parents, two other brothers, his youngest brother
and several of his sisters." This seems pretty clearly to indicate
there was at least one other son than those named in the will.
Sons and daughters in the order named were:

2. i. James^

3. ii. Mary, b. about 1757; m. David Phillips.

4. iii. John, b. about 1759; m. Mary Easton.

5. iv. William, b. Jan. 7, 1765 ; m. Nancy Easton.

6. V. Lucy, b. ; m. Goodall.

7. vi. Mildred, b. ; m. Thomas Phillips.

8. vii. Susannah, b. Oct., 1769; m. Benjamin Goss.

9. viii. Elizabeth, b. about 1780; m. James Hitchcock.

REV. JOHN- DAVIS (i) was bom in Orange Co., Va., and
married Mary Easton in Va. He was born about 1759 and died
Oct. 9, 1 83 1. He came to the State of Ga., in early manhood and
was ordained to the ministry. He moved from Ga., to Franklin
Co., Tenn., thence in 1816, to Franklin Co., Ala., settling at Rus-
selville. He was the agent in God's hands in building up the
churches that formed the Muscle Shoals Baptist Association.

Reuben E. Davis, his son, in his book Recollections of Missis-
sippi and Mississippians^ says :

"My father was one of the earliest settlers in this county (Russell
Valley, Ala.). He was a man of limited means and though of strong
and vigorous intellect, had only the imperfect education of the pioneers
of that day. His chief study was the Bible and a few volumes of history
which formed his only library. Although a Baptist Minister of high
standing, he occupied himself during the week, with ordinary farm labor,
and could never be induced to accept any compensation for his services
in the church ; this would have been according to his belief, 'serving the
Lord for hire.' Both of my parents were born in Va. and remained there
until ten children were added to their family. Then they moved to
Tenn. and settled near Winchester, where I was the twelfth and last child
bom. When I was about five years old my father moved from Tenn.
to North Ala.*

"My father did not allow his children to read the Bible, holding that
it could only be studied with profit by those whose minds were fully
matured and informed by experience. I was, however, taught that the
world was exactly six thousand years old, and I believed it to a day;
I was told that Adam was created out of the dust of the ground; and Eve
out of a rib of Adam's side; I believed this too. I was informed that
placed in a delightful garden they ate of the forbidden tree and thus
came death and all our woe ! All this I devoutly believed upon my father's
testimony. My mother died when I was about twelve years old and the
grief which this loss occasioned, shadowed my existence for years. She
was a woman of great tenderness and sweetness of character and I was
passionately devoted to her. Through my whole life I have carried the
most affectionate memory of her in my heart."

REV. WILLIAAP DAVIS (i) was born in Va., Jan. 7. 1765,
and married Nancy Easton, in Va., Miss Easton was born and
reared in Philadelphia, Pa., and was a Quakeress, but later in life
joined the Baptist Church. About 1793 Mr. Davis with his fam-
ily, which was of considerable size, moved to the State of Ga.,
and settled in Wilkes Co. He was an excellent Baptist minister
as well as four of his sons and many of his grandsons. We find
in Campbell's Georgia Baptist, the following elaborate sketch of
the life and ministerial work of Mr. Davis :

"Rev. William Davis was a native of Orange Co., Va., where he was
born Jan. 7, 1765. His parents were poor but honest and respectable,
and were members of the Episcopal Church. He became concerned about
his soul at the early age of nine years. Two sermons which he heard about
this time, one by an Episcopalian, the other by a Presbyterian, made a
deep impression on his mind. The Baptist, then called 'newlights' com-
menced preaching in his native county about the same time. Much was
said against them, as those who were 'turning the world up side down'
which raised much anxiety in the mind of young Davis to hear them. The
first opportunity of the kind he enjoyed was to hear an exhortation and
prayer from one John Bledsoe. This served to deepen his religious im-
pressions, and frequently at that tender age he was known to go forward
voluntarily and ask the minister to pray for him. He continued serious
by turns, until in his fourteenth (14) year, a conversation he had with a
pious negro in his father's employment (a Baptist) fully awakened him to
a sense of his lost condition as a sinner. For some six months, his mind
was in great distress. During those days of darkness he went far and
near, by day and by night, as far as lay in his power, to hear the gospel
from the Baptist preachers, who were itinerating through the country.
One night he went some four miles from his father's residence to attend
a meeting held by Elijah Craig. During the service his feelings became
such as to unnerve him, he swooned away, and remained in a helpless state
for some time. In this condition the Lord brought him deliverance to his
soul. He rose rejoicing, and began at once to exhort his fellow mortals
to flee from the wrath to come. At this time his parents resided in Cul-
peper County, and were opposers and persecutors of the Baptists. William
left the parental roof, rather unceremoniously perhaps, walked some four-
teen or fifteen miles to a Baptist church in Orange Co., called Blue Run,
where he was immersed in his fifteenth year.

Genealojrv of

"As soon as he had discharged this solemn duty, he returned home and
submitted himself to his parents. Soon thereafter, being encouraged by his
brethem, he was in the habit of exercising publicly in exhortation and
prayer. These exercises were sanctified to the conversion of his parents,
his two older brothers, his youngest brother and several of his sisters. All
of these became Baptists and continued in the comfort of the Holy Ghost
until their death. At sixteen years of age though much against the will
of his friends, Mr. Davis, volunteered as a soldier of the Revolution, and
was for some time under the command of General Lafayette. He was
wounded in the head, suffered greatly from fatigue and hunger. While the
Army of Lafayette was on a forced march to join Washington in the
capture of Cornwallis, young Davis was without a morsel of food two
whole days. This having come to the ears of the General, he was sent to
his tent, and with his own hands he furnished the youthful soldier with
food. This kindness, on the part of Lafayette, was remembered with
gratitude all his life. He was heard to mention it during his last sick-
ness. He was present at the surrender of Cornwallis, and after the war
returned to his family, in Va., where he enjoyed the friendship and con-
fidence of the Madisons, Barbours and other distinguished men of the State.
"In 1/88, he was licensed to preach the gospel, while yet in his' native
State, and was ordained in Georgia by Dozier, Thornton and Thomas
Maxwell in 1793. His education was quite limited, yet he was a man
of strong mind, excellent memory, and a fine imagination. His manner
was easy yet forcible. He was an original thinker, and his style of oratory
was peculiar to himself — bold and energetic. His character was without
spot or blemish, and his piety was of a high order. One fact proves that
he lived the religion that he preached ; eleven out of twelve children
which he had, became worthy members of the church during their par-
ent's life time ; three of them preachers — Jonathan, James and Jesse and
two others, Jeptha and William Deacons. As a pastor, he stood high with
the church which enjoyed his watchful care. The church in the fork of
Broad river (Elbert County), he served twenty years; that at Beaver dam
twelve years ; Clark's Station nine years, etc. He possessed the faculty of
drawing out his brethren, who were called of God to the ministry ; among
those who raised up under him, were the following: E. Shakelford, Isaac
Shuttle, Elijah Mosely, Isham Goss, James Holis and Sylvanus Gibson.

"In the middle of life Mr. Davis was a person of fine appearance, weigh-
mg upwards of two hundred pounds. He suffered much in after life from
dropsy in the chest, and was so debilitated as to make it necessary that
he should resign all pastorial charges, yet was in the habit of visiting the
churches whenever he was able to ride, and when unable to stand, he
would preach in a sitting posture. While thus standing on the borders of
the tomb his ministry was greatly blessed. His farewell discourse to the
people of Elbert Co. was delivered while he sat on a table in the open air,
and such was the powerful eft'ect produced, that it was regarded as the
commencement of one of the most glorious revivals ever experienced in
that county. He was decidedly favorable to ministerial education, and was
one of the Board of Mount Enon Academy. He was opposed to the loca-
tion, however, and always believed that that was the cause of its failure.
The temperance cause never had a warmer friend. On this subject he
addressed letters to the Sarepta and Georgia Associations, when too infirm
to attend their sessions.

"For several months previous to his death he had a presentiment that his
end was near — often spoke of it, and arranged all his worldly business with
reference to it. All his children were invited to make him a last visit, and
on doing so, he requested each of his sons to lay their hand on the scar
on his head (the result of a wound he received in his youth while a soldier
of the Revolution) and solemnly charged them severally to be faithful to
their country's interest and glory. He was in attendance on a Methodist

The Davis Family, 7

camp meeting some ten days before his death, when he was taken suddenly
ill. His wife, who was absent on a visit, was sent for as also his children.
When they arrived he told them the day and the hour he expected to
depart hence and be with Christ. When that day arrived he spent a part
of it in writing and to his friends present gave a circumstantial account of
his early life. Some two or three hours previous to his exit he was in
great pain and frequently called upon God for help. Of his son, Jonathan
and James, who had not yet arrived, he spoke in a most affectionate man-
ner. To his son, Isaac (the only one of his children not in the church),
he made a most touching appeal to meet his aged father in heaven.

"After bidding his wife and children a last farcivcll, he desired to be
raised up in the bed — then, raising his hands toward heaven, he shouted
aloud 'Victory! Victory! Victory!' laid down calmly and instantly expired.
This glorious triumph of faith took place on Oct. 31, 1831, in his 67th year."

His widow survived him eleven years. It is rather remarkable
that she did not become a professor of religion until after her
husband's death. She was finally baptized by her son Jonathan,
and died full of years in strong hope of eternal happiness. Chil-

REUBEN E.' DAVIS (4). The following account of the life
and career of Reuben E. Davis is gleaned from his book, Recol-
lections of Mississippi and Alississippians. He was the 12th
and youngest child of Rev. John Davis, was born in Winchester,
Tenn., and when about five years old, the family emigrated to
Ala., and settled in Russell Valley, where he was reared on a
farm, assisting in farm work and receiving only a common school
education.

He says in his book:

"While still a lad I left home to begin a new chapter in my preparation
for life. My father decided, after much hesitation and many misgivings,
that I should be allowed to study medicine. All my desires pointed even
then to the law, but my father held stubbornly to his peculiar theories on
this subject. It was very clear to him, he said, that lawyers were wholly
given up to the devil even in this world, and that it was impossible for any
one of them ever to enter the kingdom of heaven. This being the case, he
could not, in conscience, allow a son of his to enter the ranks of a pro-
fession foredoomed to everlasting burnings. He also entertained strong
doubts as to the final welfare of medical inen in general, but admitted that
some few might be saved, provided they used their best endeavors not to
kill their patients and resisted the temptation to prolong illness with a
view to pecuniary profit."

"After solemn admonition on these points, I left home with my father's
consent and blessing, to read medicine with my brother-in-law. Dr. Hig-
gason, in Hamilton, Monroe County, Mississippi."

After about two years' study and preparation Dr. Davis com-
menced the practice of medicine in Russellville, Ala. He did not
practice but a few years, however, until he determined to take up
the study of law, and about 1832 was admitted to the bar and
moved to Monroe Co., Miss., to engage in law practice. In the
meantime he had married Mary Halbert. They discussed the mat-
ter of leaving her with her friends until he went to Miss, and

The Davis Family.

prepared a home for her. She was cheerful and resolute and pos-
itively refused to be left behind. She said they had married with
the full knowledge that they had their own way to make and must
make it together, and she expressed the most perfect confidence
that a bright future awaited them, if they should have courage
enough to be happy in the midst of the privations and hardships
of youth. "In short she encouraged and cheered me as only a
devoted wife could do, and though we had some hard experience,
1 do not remember a single moment of despondence on her part."

Mr. Davis began the practice of law at Athens, Monroe Co.,
Miss., and soon became eminent as a lawyer, especially so as a
criminal lawyer. He was widely known and recognized for his
success in acquiting persons indicted for criminal offenses. He
says he defended many persons and never had a client hung.

Mr. Davis commanded a regiment in the Mexican War and in
1857 was elected to the United States Congress. He died sud-
denly at Huntsville, Ala., while on a tour selling his book.

There was no issue by his marriage to Miss Halbert. This wife
died and he married again. His widow resides at Aberdeen,

Obituary.

Elder William Davis. — Being the last and only surviving member of the
family of eleven children of Elder William Davis, who died in Wilkes
county, Ga., in the year 1832. I take this method to give notice to the rela-
tives and friends of my last brother, Elder William Davis, of Heard county,
of his death, which occurred at his home in said county on the 17th day of
July, 1873. He was in the 77th year of his life. He joined the Baptist
Church at Clark's Station, in Wilkes Co., Ga., in the year 1828; was made
a deacon years after; and in the latter part of his life was ordained to the
great work of the gospel ministry. He was one of the faithful and devout
men of God. Those who best knew him loved him most. He died as
above stated at his home in a remarkable way. The day before his death
he visited one of his Baptist brethren about two and a-half miles off, came
home in the evening, rested well and quietly all night, rose early next
morning and said to his wife and children that he would die that day, and
was unusually cheerful. He spent most of the morning reading religious
works. About half after eleven o'clock, lying on his bed, he made slight
complaint. His son William, who was eating his dinner at the time soon
finished his meal and went to look after him, bpt found he had gotten up
and walked out in the piazza and seated himself in a chair. His son no-
ticed that he looked a little pale in the face, and, laying his hand on his
head, asked him if he would not again lie down. He arose, walked into his
room and to his bed, law down and was dead in a minute. Died without a
groan or a struggle. Died! did I say? Went to sleep in Jesus, his Saviour.

"Asleep in Jesus — blessed sleep.
From which none ever wake to weep ;
A calm und undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes."

"He is gone where the pendulum vibrates ever always ! ever always ! and
the clock strikes no more !"

Rev. JONATHAN" DAVIS (5) was born in Wilkes Co.,
Ga., Nov. 17, 1798, and was twice married. His first wife was
Elizabeth Johnson, who bore ten children and died in 1841. Mr.
Davis' second wife was Mary Bledsoe, born Mar. 31, 1823, and
educated at Griffin, Ga. They were married July 30, 1844. There
were born of this marriage seven children.

Mr. Davis died Aug. 20, 1869.

Mrs. Mary Bledsoe Davis died Sept. 11. 1878.

We take the following sketch of the life and ministerial work
of Rev. Jonathan Davis from Campbell's Georgia Baptist:

"Rev. Jonathan Davis * * * * At what age he was converted we
are not informed, though it is believed to have been when he was yet
young. He was baptized by his father and soon after commenced preach-
ing. Soon after his ordination he took charge of a small church in Elbert
County, which had barely a nominal existence, and which had been on the
eve of dissolution for years. A gracious revival was soon experienced, and
the membership was increased to upwards of a hundred. About the year
1829, he became pastor of the church at Crawfordvill^, where he resided
for years, and where the greatest success crowned his labors. The church
enjoyed a succession of revivals, during which hundreds were converted
and baptized. The blessed influence extended to the neighboring churches,
which also experienced great prosperity. It is related of him that he bap-
tized sixty on a certain Sabbatli morning at Bethesda church, Green county.
Ga."

"During a portion of the time of his residence at Crawfordsville he also
served the Antioch and Sugar Creek Churches in Morgan county, in both
of which his ministry was eminently successful — said to have baptized at the
latter church upwards of seventy candidates on one occasion. At another
time said to have baptized more than eighty. There was no duty in which
he delighted more than administering baptism. Long before his ministry
ceased it was said he had baptized upwards of three thousand persons.
The temperance cause, which for a series of years, occupied much public
attention, and excited much interest, found in Mr. Davis an ardent friend
and an eloquent advocate. In fact there was no cause involving the inter-
est of his fellow-men, to the support of which he did not bring all the
ardor of his nature, all the gifts of oratory, with which he was so highly
endowed. He threw his whole soul into the support of the objects of the
Baptist State convention, especially the improvement of rising ministry.
His own education having been quite limited, he left nothing undone that
would contribute to the advantage of the young ministers rising up around
him. He accordingly made provision for the board and tuition of several
young brethren at Crawfordville, where he resided.

"He was of an exceedingly kind and Christian spirit. He was not a man
of strife, but a man of peace ; he delighted in being a peacemaker. He was
a man of strong faith — 'Have faith in God.' In the year 1835, vvhile yet in
the zenith of his popularity and usefulness, he moved from Crawfordville
with several other prominent families from the same region and settled in
the village of Palmyra, on Kinchafoonce Creek, in Lee countv. Here he
spent many years in active ministerial labors, which were crowned with
abundant success in founding and building up churches and in giving the
Baptist a prestige in that section which they have never lost. He received

1 6 Genealogy of

active sympathy and liberal support from the intelligent and pious men who
emigrated with him to that region — the James Mercur and others of the
same class — and from those who were brought into the kingdom through
his instrumentality. Here also he raised a large family, many of whom or
their children reside in Southwestern Ga., and all of whom occupy responsi-
ble positions in society and are faithful adherants of the faith so ably ad-
vocated by their worthy sire. He died Aug. 20, 1869, and Mrs. Mary Bled-
soe Davis died Sept. 11, 1878.

The following sketch of the life and character of Rev. Jona-
than Davis is furnished by a friend :

Johnathan Davis was a unique character, self-made, independent. When
eighteen he married Elizabeth Johnson in her sixteenth year. He always
overlooked his father's farm and attended to all business of a secular
nature.

Rev. William Davis in making his will said : To my son Jonathan
I bequeath my blessing, my wife and five dollars. To my wife the
portion of two children. Jonathan baptized his mother after the death of
his father. She had retained her Quaker faith through a long useful life.
After her death he would have none of the "double portion," always
affirmed that the blessing was sufficient, all he wished. He was successful
as farmer, minister, and in raising a large family, upon whom the blessing
must have descended.

He was among the first settlers in South West Georgia. Bought up
quantities of government land and with the inducement of cheap homes
soon had the country around Albany and Palmyra full of inhabitants. He
was a king among the "princes of Southern hospitality." One of the
"knightliest knights of Southern chivalry." He had touched the scar on
the forehead of his father, received in defence of his country during the
Revolution and with all the sons promised to be true to "States Rights."
He was so opposed to secession he had every light put out in his home the
night Albany was illuminated when Georgia seceded. Yet when "the die
was cast" Sherman found him in Atlanta defending "States Rights."

He had corresponded with Senator JeflFerson Davis before the war and
was so interested in his career as President of the Confederate States,
wrote several advisory letters, finally made one or two visits, hoping to
prevent one or two mistakes he was fearful would be made. One of his
daughters remonstrated when the letters were sent. He replied: "It may
look like conceit, but I cannot consider that when so much is at stake.
Your uncle James was a great admirer of Queen Victoria and at one
crisis in her reign when outside help seemed to be needed, wrote her a
letter full of good counsel. The course advised was certainly adopted."
Kit Warren, in his reminiscences of old Palmyra, says that rnore people
were baptized and more churches established by Jonathan Davis than any
other minister in the State. His special mission seemed to be making
.strong the weak and building up waste places. He was a friend to any
needing friendship. Many in Georgia can remember kindly aid given in
education. W. N. Chandoin in the cemetery at Albany dedicated to his
memory the sweet old hymn :

"Servant of God, well done,
Rest from thy loved employ ;
Thee hath fought, the victory won,
Enter thy Master's joy."

JEPTHA V.^ DAVIS (5) was born in Wilkes Co., Ga., on
Dec. 10, 1 801. He was brought up to work on the farm and
had but little opportunity to go to school. The whole of his
scholastic opportunity afforded him a chance to spell and read a
little with a sort of begining in aritmetic.

After arriving at manhood he became an overseer on other
men's farms and in this way accumulated some property by econ-
omy and frugality. His father died in 1832 and left him some
property, perhaps a negro boy and negro girl. He was careful
with whatever he bought or owned.

The Civil War found him with a very large family of sons and
daughters, on most of whom he had bestowed much in the way
of education, and he was still worth about $25,000.

He was a strong advocate of education, a great admirer of com-
mon sense, of which he had more than falls to the lot of men
generally.

At or about the age of 2y he married Temperance Daniel, said
to have been a charmingly beautiful young woman.

Mr. Davis when a young man was very much inclined to infi-
delity, although his father was a Baptist minister, and two of his
2

1 8 Genealogy of

brothers had become Baptist ministers, he rather cultivated his
infidel thoughts until he was more than well grown, but grad-
ually the truth dawned upon him that he was a sinner and about
that time he had a dream which greatly impressed him. He
sought God in prayer and sought the prayers of Christians and
finally had very strong manifestation of the love of Jesus, joined
the Baptist Church in Wilkes Co., and was baptized by his
brother, Rev. James Davis.

He was exceptionally a devout Christian. He moved to Heard
Co. in the latter part of 1836. He and his wife placed their mem-
bership in Bethel Church in said county. He was elected a dea-
con of the same a few years after, became a most zealous member,
leading many times in prayer meeting and became famous in the
churches for many miles around in Heard and other counties as
an exhorter. Many souls were led by him to Christ.

As a citizen he stood high, serving his county as a grand juror
and otherwise. In politics he was a Whig, but would not con-
sent, though urged to do so, to seek or have any office or be sent to
the Legislature.

The first of Jan. 1847 he moved to Coweta Co., and settled near
the town of Newnan, where he continued his same methods of
life and spent much of his time during the summer months with
the churches, and was greatly successful in his efforts in his
church and Christian work. A great many young people were
brought to Christ through his influence and many a preacher
was assisted by him in protracted meetings, and many times he
was sent for and asked to "come and help us." For all this work,
which continued up to the end of the war, he would not accept
any financial remuneration.

He was made treasurer of the Western Association of Ga. in
1846 against his wishes and held the place for several years be-
cause his brethren so requested.

He was very fond of his children and took great delight in the
companionship of his wife and children. Never husband loved
or honored wife more than he. His wife died on July 3, 1853,
leaving 14 children, the youngest about one year old. It was a
crushing blow and for a time he often wept and lamented her

The Davis Family. 19

departure. But he was never heard in this severe or any other
affliction to utter a murmuring word at the providence of God.
He was a man of the strongest faith and never once seemed to
doubt that God was good and did all things well with him. God
was ruler and he bowed in submission to His will. This sad event
but increased his religious zeal and love for Christ and immortal
souls. His home was ever a home for preachers, and many of
them knew it — the door was open to them and they came just
when it suited them.

Hon. A. H. Stephens was his life long personal friend, and
like Mr. Stephens, he thought the separate secession of the States
not a wise policy, but preferred that all the Southern States should
act in concert if they seceded. But the State of Georgia having
once seceded he accepted the situation and six of his sons made
true and brave soldiers in the Confederate army and fought in
many a battle. He prayed that God would spare them — four of
them were wounded but only one was killed, his oldest.

When hospitals were established at Newnan he gave the
wounded and sick soldiers almost his entire time, saying words
of encouragement, administering to their wants and persuading
them to have Jesus as their friend and Saviour. He accepted the
results of the Civil War without a murmur, although the larger
part of the property for which he had labored was swept away
and that his first born son had fallen in battle, it was a maxim of
his life : "Thy will be done on earth as in Heaven." Some time
after the death of his first wife he married a second wife, who
was Sarah A, Daniel, a maiden niece of his first wife, and by
this union was born to them five children. Thus it was by the
two wives he became the father of (19) nineteen children, every
one of whom loved and honored him in the superlative degree,
and every one of whom he saw baptized and received into the
Baptist Church on a full profession of faith in Christ
except two, one of them died when about twelve years
old, the other, the youngest by his second wife was
only ten or eleven years old when the father died. Mr.
Davis died on Sept. 19, 1883, lacking less than three months of
being 82 years old. He died as he had lived, with an unyielding

20 Genealogy ol

faith in the Saviour to whom he had committed his all, and is
quoted as having said a few days before his death : "O death
where is thy sting; O grave where is thy victory?" and uttered
among his very last intelligent expressions : "I am not afraid to
die." He is buried in the family burying ground, one and one-
half miles east of Newnan. A volume could be written of this
good man, his life was pure — he loved truth for truth's sake and
no influence of wealth, position or power could change or abate
his devotion for truth or principle — he was of iron nerve when
defending the right,

Mrs. Temperance (Daniel) Davis, the first wife of Jeptha V.
Davis, was born in Green Co., Ga., on December 4, 1808. She
united with the Baptist Church at old Bethesda in said county
when about 18 or 19 years of age, and was baptized by Rev.
Jonathan Davis, who after her marriage became her brother-in-
law.

She was heard to speak often of the great anguish of soul she
felt while under conviction for sin — at times almost despaired of
ever finding relief. It was while a blind preacher, whose name
is now unknown, was delivering a sermon somewhere in the
neighborhood of where her mother (a widow) lived when she
believed and trusted in Jesus as her Saviour. She expressed
much happiness over this result.

It was a favorite song with her during all her life which begins
thus:

"What wondrous love is this?
O my soul ! O my soul !
What wondrous love is this?
That caused the Lord of Bliss
To bear the dreadful curse
For my soul, for my soul."

She was married to Jeptha V. Davis in 1828 or 9 and after-
wards moved with her husband to Crawfordville, Taliaferro
Co., and thence to Heard Co., 1836, and thence to Corveta, 1846,
where she died with a congestive chill on July 3, 1853. She was
blessed with 14 children, 11 boys and 3 girls, all of whom sur-
vived her, the youngest being about one year old when the mother
died.

She loved her church ; she loved her home ; she loved her
husband ; she loved her children ; she loved her neighbors ; she

The Davis Family. 21

loved her servants. The large family demanded her presence
at home and she verily believed her duty was to make the home
happy, and often said her mission in life was to take care of
her children and the household. She was especially watch-
ful over the moral and religious training of her children. Ten-
derly and lovingly did she minister to their wants, but as all
mothers ought to do, she demanded their obedience. She
seemed at all times influenced by a sense of love, duty and
fidelity. She was a woman of much prayer and delighted
in reading the New Testament. It was largely through her
influence that her husband was first brought forward as a
public exhorter, and she manifested a special anxiety that he
should first take up and then regularly keep up family prayer.
She greatly enjoyed the visits of friends to her home and always
made them happy with table comforts and pleasant rooms. The
preachers understood there was a "preacher's room" for them
and many, aye very many of them availed themselves of her
bountiful supplies in their behalf.

"Aunt Tempy," as she was called, was often quoted as an ex-
ample for other mothers and wives. At her funeral, which oc-
curred at the family grave, she being the first buried there, one
mile and a half east of Newnan, hundreds of friends and relatives
attested their love and devotion by their attendance ; and per-
haps a hundred voices sang before the final close of the grave :

"Sister, thou was mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening
When it floats among the trees.

"Dearest sister, thou hast left us ;
Here thy loss we deeply feel ;
But 'tis God who hath bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal.

"Yet again we hope to meet thee;
When the day of life is fled.
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed."

Sarah A. Daniel, the second wife of Jeptha V. Davis, was
born in Green Co., Ga., in 1825 or 1826. She was the daughter
of pious parents and united with the church at Bethesda when
about eighteen or twenty years of age ; was baptized as is now
believed bv Rev. S. G. Hillver. D. D.

22 Genealogy of

She was a good woman, pious and prayerful. Her husband,
her senior in years, was greatly honored and loved by her ; she
manifested towards him in the nearly thirty years of their mar-
ried life the tenderest devotion and nursed him in his last years
of life with a fondness which was indeed, it seems, tireless. Her
own health for eight or ten years previous to his death was poor,
but she appeared to forget herself and count her own affliction
but small when she could administer to wants of husband and
children. She was greatly loved by husband and children in
return. Her step-children, especially the large number of them
who came under her motherly care, honored her and enjoyed her
presence and company. She was remarkably kind and tender
towards them. She had a heavy task in life but she performed
it in a God-given spirit.

After the death of her husband her affliction increased and
the struggle in life grew harder, but all this she bore with heroic
courage.

One of her daughters died just as she arrived at womanhood
but the mother murmured not and complained not at God's deal-
ing with her.

During her last years she was a great sufferer, but exhibited a
truly resigned and Christian spirit in it all.

This good woman died at the home of her eldest daughter in
the city of Atlanta in June, 1896, and was buried in the family
graveyard by the side of her husband, one and a half miles east
of Newnan. Children:

REV. JAMES^ DAVIS (5) was born Jan. 22, 1805, in Elbert
Co., Ga., and married Louisa Edith Hudson, July 31, 1823.
Miss Hudson was born Jan. 17, 1803, in Elbert Co., Ga. Mr.
and Mrs. Davis were members of the Baptist Church and he was
a minister of that denomination. We find the following- sketch
of Rev. James Davis in Cathart's Baptist Encyclopaedia :

"Rev. James Davis, one of the most useful ministers that ever lived in
the western part of Georgia, including Coweta, Troup, Heard, Meriwether,
and the adjoining counties, was born in Wilkes Co., Jan. 22, 1805. He
married and joined the church when quite a young man, and never after-
wards could relate his Christian experience without manifesting deep
emotion. He moved from Elbert to Jasper Co. in 1826, where he was
both licensed and ordained. Returning to Elbert Co. in 1828 he preached
there for several years with increasing power and success. About 1830
he moved to the western part of the state where he spent the remaining
portion of his life, acting as a pioneer Baptist and preaching those Baptist
principles which to-day flourish so extensively in that section. Strong in
native intellect, robust in constitution, untiring in energy, and inspired by
the sole desire to 'preach Christ crucified,' Mr. Davis left his impression
on the entire section of country in which he lived. He assisted in the
constitution of the Baptist Church at Lagrange and indeed most of the
Baptist Churches in the counties where he labored. A friend of education,
strongly missionary in spirit, earnest, devout, gifted and eloquent preacher,
struggled nobly to disseminate the great truths of Christianity as main-
tained by his denomination ; and he did much to give moral tone to the
community in which he lived as any man. Good and useful here he died
as he lived in the faith of Jesus. He passed away in Sept., 1859, at his

24 Genealogy of

home in Heard Co. To his only absent son, Rev. Willliam H. Davis, then
residing at Hepzibah, Ga., he sent this simple message: 'Strive, my son,
to be a good minister of the gospel and meet me in glory.' We know that
one injunction has been fulfilled and we have every reason to believe both
have been."

REV. JESSE MERCERY DAVIS (5) was born in Wilkes Co.,
Ga., Jan. 25, 1807. He moved to Southwest, Ga., with his brother
Jonathan about 1836. He was thrice married. His first wife
was Sophia Burton. His second was a widow, Mrs. Gilbert, and
his third also a widow, was Mrs. McGoldrick.

We find in History of the Baptist Denomination of Georgia
— (Index Co.) the following sketch:

" * * * Rev. Jesse M. Davis was bom in Wilkes Co., Ga., Jan. 25,
1807, and during boyhood labored with his brothers on his father's farm.
He possessed a very superior mind; was ambitious and studious, and so
availed himself of eighteen months' only of schooling that he laid the
solid foundation of an education that was very respectable, and which, by
application, continued to improve throughout his life. He was an earnest
and beautiful speaker with a mind both logical and philosophical, and in
conversation was brilliant and interesting. His voice was musical and fas-
cinating, his manners were genial and captivating, while his personal ap-
pearance was handsome and imposing. He commenced the practice of
law at Ellerton, Ga., in his eighteenth year, but in his twenty-first year
he was converted and baptized, and soon after abandoned his profession
to preach the Gospel, for like Paul he felt 'Woe is me if I preach not
the Gospel.' The same year in which he joined the church he married
Miss Sophia Burton, a lady of rare attainments, whose Christian virtues
and brilliant mind added much to her husband's advancement. He was
ordained about 1830, and in 1835 moved from Elbert to Lee county, then
a frontier of the State, and infested by Indians. At one time he was
compelled to abandon his home and send his family to Twiggs County for
safety, but he himself remained and joined the company organized to
pursue and combat the Indians. As soon as peace and quiet were restored
his family returned and he then built, upon his own land and at his own
expense, a Baptist house of worship, which he named Hebron. He then

The Davis Family. 25

built up a church for which he preached twenty-three years without re-
muneration. For the same number of years he dwelt in Lee County, and
by planting accumulated a large property. The doors of his home, known
as 'Pleasant Level,' being ever thrown open for rich and poor alike, and
its numerous visitors cordially welcomed with a true Christian hospitality.

"He always had the care of three or four different churches, but never,
until the war, in its results swept away his ample fortune, did he accept
any compensation for his pastoral labor. In 1858 he removed to Decatur
Co. where he resided during the war. Although opposed to secession
he quietly acquiesced in the action of his State and at his own expense
armed and equipped a comoany for military service. While the war
lasted he was a true friend of the families of our soldiers who were in the
service, sparing neither time nor money to supply their necessities ; and
yet so unostentatious was his generosity that none outside of his own
family were aware of its extent.

"After the close of the war he was called to the care of the church
in Blakely, Ga., where, after four months of grievous suffering in the bed
of languishing, which he bore with the utmost Christian fortitude, he died
on August 14, 1868. His remains lie buried in Blakely. During all the
weary months of confinement he was never known by word or act to mani-
fest the least impatience or want of submission. His death bed witnessed
scenes of exalted Christian resignation and triumnh which proved the
reality of his religion. 'I would not change the peace of mind which I
now have to be at ease and dwell in all the splendors of earth' was his
pious exclamation after obtaining relief from one of his fearful paroxysms
of suffering. The day preceding his death, he repeated over and over
again these lines :

'Farewell vain world, I'm going home.
My Saviour calls and bids me come.'

"The following day death fell on him suddenly and he passed away
almost instantly without a spasm or contortion according to his own
frequent prayer to which God thus graciously answered.

"In character Mr. Davis was one of the most amiable and benevolent
of men, delighting in doing good and making others happy, and stinting
neither time, money nor measures to accomplish his object. Large-souled
as well as large bodied, he was above everything that approached to little-
ness or meanness, and for scores of years preached with that fascinating
persuasiveness that attracted so many to the fount of everlasting life.
His oratory was in the highest sense winning, and his delivery was most
varied, pleasing and fascinating. While he denounced sin he loved the
sinner, and drew him with melting tenderness to embrace the terms of the
Gospel. A beautiful speaker, with a well trained mind and fine imaginative
powers, he was, withal, imbued with an impressive earnestness which gave
.solemnity and power to his preaching. No disturbance in church or out
of it ever marred the even tenor of charitable Christian life, for he invar-
iably retained the goodwill and friendly regard of all, so guiding his life
as to avoid all personal as well as sectarian controversies. While a strong
Baptist and sound in the faith he was beloved by Christians of every name
and highly respected by all classes of the community."

ANDREW JACKSON^ HITCHCOCK (9) was born Feb.
21, 1813, near Columbus, Ga. He was twice married and was
the father of eight children, all of whom died in infancy. He
lost his life in a fire, burning of the James House in Denton,
Tex., Aug. 25, 1887.

Andrew Jackson Hitchcock had a most eventful life and
checkered career. He went to Tex. in 1835 in Captain Jack
Shackelford's Company, Georgia Battalion of Fannin's Command.
He was with Fannin and surrendered with him after the battle
of Colita on Mar. 17, 1836. He was taken to Goliad and con-
fined in the Old Mission with the rest of the prisoners. On the
morning of Mar. 27, Sunday, he and the rest of the privates,
about 319, were marched out upon the pretence of being ex-
changed. About one half mile from the fort near a brush cattle
pen they were halted and fired upon by the Mexican Army.
Finding himself not wounded, hatless and shoeless he scaled the
brush fence with four or five others, swam the river and made
his escape. After they had wandered about the country a few
days they were recaptured, but Hitchcock and one other finally
made their escape and reached Galveston to learn the war was
over. Hitchcock returned to Ga., but soon went back to Tex.,
and saw much service in the conflicts with the Indians. In 1839
he went to Shreveport, La., and accumulated some property
which he invested in negroes and began farming on Red River.

28 GenealoQ:v of

In 1849 he engaged in a merchandise venture which was of short
duration, but closed out with some profit. He then bought a
livery stable in Shreveport, which he ran for several years, buy-
ing and selling horses and trading generally. In the yellow-
fever scourge of 1853 he remained in Shreveport, waited upon
the stricken, was liberal with his money and prodigal with him-
self. When the Civil War broke out he owned a plantation of
about twenty-five hundred acres of rich land, well stocked with
horses, mules, cattle, hogs and sheep and about sixty slaves. His
horses and mules were pressed into service. He sold his land
for Confederate money and took his negroes and his family to
San Antonio. The negroes were freed by the war and he took
them back to Louisiana where they were raised and turned them
loose.

In 1866 he went to Brazil with a view of colonizing there, but
was not successful in this venture. He went to Brazil a second
time, but finally concluded the United States was the best place
for American citizens. He spent his last years in Denton. Tex.,
where he met his tragic death.

EMILY^ HITCHCOCK (9) was born Dec. 13, 1824, and
married Lewis L. Chiles June 6, 1842. Mr. Chiles was a man of
great energy, coupled with fine judgment. He was a native of
Va., left an orphan at an early age and leaving his relatives
when he was about eighteen he became permanently separated
from them and never knew much of them. He abandoned his
native state in 1828 and started west for the purpose of making
his own way in the world. He stopped in Tenn. about a year
after which he went to Tex. He found irregular employment
with various surveying parties and in this way helped at differ-
ent times to locate a large number of claims for settlers.

He served as a "Minute Man" as often as his presence was
needed to assist in keeping off the hostile Indians; and finally
when the climax of trouble with Mexico was reached, moved by
patriotic ardor and zeal for the cause of liberty, he shouldered

30 Genealogy of

his musket with that devoted band of patriots under Gen. Hous-
ton to repel the invasion of the Mexican army. He v^as at the
battle of San Jacinto and thus helped to win Texas independence
and render glorious for all time the name of Texas and Texan
valor. Mr. Chiles led an active life, especially in his earlier
years. In 1856 he was converted and united with the Baptist
Church at Caldwell, Tex., of which he was soon elected deacon,
held this position until he died May 29, 1864. Emily Hitchcock
Chiles, his wife, was one of the pioneer women of Burleson Co.
Under the preaching of that eminent pioneer minister of Tex.,
Rev. William Tryon, she was converted and baptized in girlhood.
This same Rev. William Tryon performed the marriage cere-
mony when she and Lewis Chiles were married. She lived a
consistent Christian life until her death June 9, 1877. She had
been reared under the old regime in Tex. and learned to keep
open house in the style of early days. Children:

MARTHA* DAVIS (22) was born Dec. i, 1818. and married

Dr. Gilbert was born Jan. 26, 1814, and died Jan. 29, 1864.
We find in the Albany Herald the following tribute to the memory
of Mrs. Gilbert :

"Mrs. Martha D. Gilbert died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. J.
M. Tift, of Albany, Ga. ; where she had lived for many years, Jan. 29, 1903.
Death was due to a general breakmg down from the infirmities of age.
Mrs. Gilbert was in her 85th year, having turned the 84th milestone of
life's journey only a few weeks ago. Up to a comparatively recent period
she continued to enjoy much of the vigor which had characterized her
whole life, and though long past the allotted threescore years and ten, she
retained her mental faculties unimpaired, and was not confined to her room
or even the house. When the final decline set in, however, Mrs. Gilbert
was forced to take her bed, and through the weary weeks which followed
she grew gradually but steadily weaker. Fully realizing her condition and
knowing that for her the journey of life was nearing the end, she turned
a smiling face to the world, and looked through the eyes of a perfect faith
into the future. Death had no terrors for her. In life she had walked
with God ; and no woman ever gave those about her a more beautiful ex-
ample of the perfect Christian. She had seen what would seem to be more
than a generous share of sorrow during the years she lived. Loved ones
were taken from her, and other afflictions came, but above it all she rose
triumphant with a supreme faith in the Master's wisdom and perfect plan.
The motto of her life might have been : 'Thy will, not mine, oh. Lord, be
done.' 'Twas so she lived.

She passed away as one falling asleep and was conscious to the last,
recognizing those about her. The group around the deathbed included all
her surviving children and a number of other relatives. The funeral ser-
vices were conducted by the Rev. William L. Richards, of the Baptist
Church of which she had been a consistent and devoted member for many
years. The remains were deposited in their last resting place in Oakview
cemetery, Albany, Ga.

MARY MORTON* DAVIS (22) was born Jan. 22, 1845, near
Indian Springs, Butts Co., Ga.

(The following sketch of the life and character of Mary M. Davis is the
merited tribute of a friend, Rev. A. F. Dix.)

*" Much has been lost that might have proved a great incentive to noble
deeds, had records been made of the earnest endeavor and faithful service
of those who had no disposition or were too modest to make such record
for themselves. This consideration has induced the present writer to give
permanent form to certain deeds and characteristics of the subject of this
sketch.

"First of all we must go back of character and deeds to that twofold na-
ture in which her character is stamped, and from which her deeds have
sprung, for if she had not been twice born, she had not been a Christian,
and for one who knew her to think of Mary Davis apart from her Chris-
tian life were impossiblle. Her first birth was of Christian parents, her
father a devoted, energetic Baptist minister, and her mother a patient, lov-
ing, helpful wife and devoted servant of family and church. The natural
life of the daughter received thus an altruistic current which needed only
the imparting of the divine nature, to cause a perpetual flow of Christian
activity, a 'springing up into everlasting life.' Her second birth, therefore.

The Davis Family. 45

as child of the Spirit, from such humanity, came like the words of the Sa-
vior to the shroud-bound Lazarus : 'Loose him and let him go.' She was
loosed and let go for a life of imitation of the Master, 'going about doing
good.' Her education, acquired at Albany, Ga., was such as enabled her to
help others in overcoming ignorance, and laying in intellectual capital for
usefulness and enjoyment, as well as to fit her own mind for the discern-
ment, appreciation and dispensing of truth.

"Sweetly declining repeated offers of marriage, from men who have
proven their worth by their success in life, she has chosen, not the life of a
recluse, but rather that freedom for personal obligation to a single home
of her own, which permitted her to enter many homes of kindred and
friends, where her helpfulness forbade the thought of dependence, and en-
titled her to apply the words of the Master, 'I am among you as he that
serveth." While serving as teacher in a more public way, she has received
salary that she might both be independent, and more helpful where kind
words and watching and sympathy needed to be supplemented by that
which was purchasable. Many an educational wall of solidity and fair pro-
portions, has had her bricks in its foundation, and now after forty-two
years of alternate teaching and resting, nursing and comforting, she is
handling a school of forty pupils.

"A monument not to her exclusively, and yet of her, exists in The Wo-
man's Home, of Montgomery, Ala, an institution benevolent in purpose
and beneficent in operation, of which she was a charter member, and in the
founding- and success of which she took an active part. Perhaps no single
service will be remembered more approvingly by the Master, or more
admiringly by the people of Albany than the vindication of the doctrine of
the resurrection, from the aspersions of a lecturer in a public assembly.
The incident is historical."

REV. JONATHAN BILLINGTON SANDERS* DAVIS
(23) was born Jan. 25. 1833, was graduated at the State Univer-

Nov. II, 1856; served one year as Prof Belles-Lettres in Male

Mar., 1858; and served as a member of the Constitutional Con-
vention of Ga., in 1865. He was ordained to the Gospel ministry
in 1863 and has been dubbed "Newnan's Lawyer Preacher." His
wife is still living (1902), an example of love, purity and fidehty.

We find in the History of The Baptist Denomination in Georgia
(Index Company), the following:

"J- B. S. Davis. — The name of Davis stands very prominently on the list
of Baptist ministers in Georgia. It has been borne by men of good ability
and much zeal, who have all gone to their reward, leaving J. B. S. Davis
their sole representative in the sacred office, though there are many worthy
gifted men of the name in other professions. * * * The influences of
religion were around him from his cradle, and seem to have had their
wanted power, since we find that in 1845, at the early age of twelve years,
professing conversion, he was baptized into Bethel Church, Heard Co.,
by Rev. Robert Fleming. In Sept., 1852, he entered Mercer University and
remained there two years, when he repaired to the State University,
Athens, Ga., and graduating from that institution in 1856. In November
of that year he married the youngest daughter of Gen. D. M. Bums, of
Jackson Co. He appears up to this time and perhaps after, to have had no
inclination to preach, but was engaged in literary pursuits together with the
study of law. In 1857 we find him occupying the chair of Belles-Letters in
Cherokee Baptist College, at Cassville, Ga. In 1858, he studied law with
Hon. Hugh Buchanan, of Newnan, Ga., and was admitted to the bar the
same year. He seems, however, at that neriod, to have continued the
practice of law for but two years, as he became principal of Martin Insti-

48 Genealogy of

tute, Jackson Co., in 1860-61, and was elected principal of the Newnan Male
Seminary, 1862-63. Teaching was his favorite work and was renounced
only on account of failing health. \ He has been practicing law for a num-
ber of years with great success, and has been employed in some important
criminal cases, winning causes not a few. His success as a teacher made
it very difficult for him to leave the profession, and he had flattering pro-
posals from many colleges and high schools in his own and other Southern
States. But the Spirit of God was at work in his heart, and his ears were
open unto Macedonian cry, 'Come over and help us.' In Sept., 1863, he
was ordained by the Baptist Church at Newnan, to the full work of the
ministry. Dr. Jesse M. Wood, pastor. The ordination sermon was preached
by Rev. E. B. Teague, and was filled with good advice. One special warn-
ing was 'keep out of debt.' As a minister, he is very popular, drawing full
houses and always securing the attention of his hearers."

Ga., Sept. 18, 1879, and the next day the following notice of his
death appeared in a local paper :

DEATH OF REV. W. H. DAVIS.

A Good Man and Prominent Minister Suddenly Dies Last Night With

Apoplexy.

The sad intellitrence of the death of the Rev. William H. Davis, of
Hephzibah, reached the city this morning. He died very suddenly at his
home, about 11 o'clock last night, of apoplexy. This very sad occurrence
casts a gloom over a happy household and quiet community, and calls
for the fullest sympathy of a hosts of friends throughout the surrounding
country.

Mr. Davis was one of the best known and respected citizens of Richmond
county, and as an honored and prominent minister of the Baptist church
his influence and popularity were not restricted to the boundary lines of
any one section of the State or class of people. He concluded a series of

The Davis Family. 53

meetings at the Baptist church in Hephzibah last week, with the baptism
of four persons He also conducted services last Saturday and Sunday at
Reed's Creek, about twenty miles below, in Burke county, with the addition
of many more converts to the church, and preached Tuesday and Wednes-
day at Bushy Creek church, in this county, when he returned home yester-
day morning. Retiring last night about 9 o'clock, he waked up later and
complained of a pain in his head. His good wife then made a light, when
he remarked that he could not see well, and died shortly after. Thus it
will be seen that after laboring zealously all his life in the Master's vine-
yard, proving his acceptability to his God and people, and fresh from the
work of saving souls, he passed peacefully into the heavenly rest.

Mr. Davis was fifty-three years old at the time of his death, and leaves a
wife, three daughters and a son. He was dearly loved by his church and
the people generally, and his place will indeed be difficult to fill. He was
regarded as one of the most prominent divines of his denomination in the
State, and was for a number of years one of the principals of the Hephzi-
bah high school, with the Rev. W. L. Kilpatrick. His funeral will take
place to-morrow morning at nine o'clock, at the Hephzibah cemetery.

With the sermons and prayers of the day still warm in his heart and on
his lips, this minister of God died. Friends had often urged him not to
undertake so much, but it was his wish to "die in the harness," and it was
not denied him.

Mr. Davis was a graduate of Mercer University, and for many years he
has been an honored and most useful member of the Board of Trustees.
He had spent a large portion of his life in teaching, and was instrumental
in building up the Hephzibah high school to a standard not excelled by
any in the State.

But it was in his ministerial life that Mr. Davis shone most brightly, and
many of the counties southwest of our city look upon him as their Baptist
bishop.

As pastor, friend, executor and counsellor he will be sadly missed, and
his place can scarcely be filled. Into that darkened home which his pres-
ence had always filled with gladness and joy, we pray God to send the
Comforter, and that He will be a husband and father to the widow and
orphans.

Mr. Davis, in business, was always a prudent man, and it is some con-
solation to know that he has left his family a sufficient competence.

Of the Hfe and character of Mr. Davis we have the following
from Cathcart's Baptist Encyclopedia :

"Rev. William H. Davis was born in Jasper Co., Ga., Aug. 18, 1826, and
died Sept. 18, 1879, at his residence in Hephzibah. A graduate of Mercer
University in 1853. he settled in Burke county in 1858, and in course of time
became one of the most prominent and useful ministers of the Rehobath
Association. He was often its moderator, and pastor of a number of its
churches, including Bark Creek, Hopewell, Bottsford and Rocky Creek.
He was a trustee of Hephzibah high school from its commencement, except
when a teacher and co-principal of it from 1868 to 1875 inclusive. From
1878 until his death he was a trustee of Mercer University. He was
licensed in 1847, and ordained in 1853. Wm. H. Davis was a man of
classical education, a citizen of untarnished reputation, a teacher of rare
ability, a Christian of most exemplary deportment, a pastor faithful to his
obligations, a minister of the gospel surpassed in pulpit power by few, if
any, in the State. He was clear in the presentation of Scriptural truth,
logical in his reasoning, and pathetic in his appeal.

"Mr. Davis was of a commanding appearance, about medium height,
weighing over two hundred pounds. Of dark complexion, pleasant expres-
sion of countenance, kind and genial in spirit, and of polished manners."

Co., Ga., Oct. 28, 183 1 ; received her early education at Colum-

Mr. King was born in Troup Co., Ga., Dec. 9, 1823. He re-
ceived his education in the common schools, was a fine mathema-
tician and good scribe. They resided near Midway, Ala., until

in Camp Co. The religion of the family is Methodist. Mr. King
died Oct. 31, 1898. Mrs. Mary A. King, writing from Lees-
burg Sept. II, 1903, says:

"Well do I remember my parents running from the Indians when they
were on the warpath, and crossing the Chattahoochee, at Columbus, Ga.,
on a flat (ferry boat), there being no bridge there then, and looking back
and seeing the smoke ascending from the buildings to which the Indians
had applied the torch." * * * * "Neither of my sons have ever
been arrested nor connected with in any way the marauding element of the
county, nor was ever sued on a debt which they have contracted. * * *
My children all own their own homes, worked for them themselves. My
daughters all own organs, know how to make wax, paper, zephyr and
feather flowers, painting and drawing, also enlarging pictures ; take their
charts, cut and make any garment that man, woman or child wears, and if
you don't believe that they can laundry their table linen and prepare a nice
meal, well just come to see us. I don't see how I could have raised my
young children without the help of my daughters, Ida and Annie. They
have nursed more sick folks, helped to raise more babies, made more baby
clothes, as well as other garments, than any other two women I ever knew.
I have four daughters and six sons living; four daughters and two song
dead ; forty grandchildren living, twelve dead, eleven great-grandchildren
living and one dead.

"You can't imagine how proud I am of my children, have never had
cause to be otherwise, they have proved to be a blessing."

The Goss Family

THE GOSS FAMILY.

FIRST GENERATION.

1.

We have two versions of the origin of the Goss family, or of the
founding of the family in this country — both traditional. Dr.
John D. Garrard, of Birmingham, Ala., now deceased, who was
a great grandson, of Benjamin Goss, Sr., and who for forty years
had been making genealogical research regarding his ancestors
and noting results, said :

"About 1760, Benjamin Goss, Sr., with two brothers came from Ger-
many to America. They lived on the Rhine river, near the line, at that
time, between Germany and France, line between Rhenish Bavaria and
Alsace. The descendants of one of these brothers are scattered all over
North Ga., White, Habersham, Cass and other counties. Some have emi-
grated to other states. The descendants of the other brother are scattered
pretty well all over the United States."

In support of this statement Dr. Garrard refers to the fact that
his mother, Martha B. (Goss) Garrard, a grand-daughter of
Benjamin Goss, Sr., lived contemporaneously with him in the
State of Ga., and was intimately associated with members of his
family, notably her father Benjamin Goss, Jr., third child of
Benjamin, Sr., who was intimately associated with his father the
elder Goss for many years and to the time of the latter's death,
and who doubtless had often heard him speak of his early history.

Mr. John Preston Goss, of Richmond, Va., who has made the
genealogy of the Goss family a study for some years, says :

"As far as I can ascertain the Goss family lived in Va., prior to 1661.
William Goss lived and died in (now) Kent Co., Va., prior to 1661, and
left a son named William. Charles and Eddie Goss lived in James City
Co., Va., in 1682. James Goss lived in Goochland Co., Va., in 1741, now
Buckingham Co. He is supposed to have been the father of Benjamin
Goss, who was bom Oct. 3, 1742. * * * *'

J. P. Goss continuing says :

(I)

2 Genealogy of

"It is not unreasonable to suppose the first William Goss was the grand-
father of Charles and Eddie Goss, and that Charles or Eddie was the
father of James Goss, and James Goss the father of Benjamin, the father
of the Gosses of Ga., and the first Goss who settled in Ga., just prior to
1800 or soon thereafter."

Quoting what was said by different members of the Goss fam-
ily, John P. Goss, further says:

"I heard my father, John W. Goss, grandson of Benjamin, Sr., say that
Benjamin was a son by the second marriage of his father, and that he,
Benjamin, had two half-brothers older than himself that went to North
Carolina. I think this will account for the two brothers mentioned by Dr.
Garrard. I will mention that my father said his great grandfather, the
father of Benjamin, Sr., died in England, having gone there to attend to
some business, sickened and died there."

He further says :

"I have been informed by Mr. H. I. Gause, of Wilmington, Del., who
has made a very great effort to trace the origin of the family, that they were
from Germany, and were driven from that country during the persecution
of the Protestants, and went first to France, where they were known as
Gosse, and that those who went to England from France, dropped the e,
leaving the name as it is now found in this country, Goss."

So much for tradition ; all agree however that the Goss family
descends from German ancestry. It is a matter of regret that
we have no record evidence in support of either theory advanced,
and at this late day it is not probable that such evidence will be
discovered, many of the records in Va., having been destroyed.
We have therefore to deal with the situation as we find it.

It would be a pleasure to trace the ancestry of Benjamin Goss
as we are able to trace his descendants, but not being able to do
this we will proceed with the primary object of this undertaking,
the tracing of his descendants. In this we will use valuable in-
formation furnished by both Dr. Garrard and Mr. John P. Goss
and to both of whom we are indebted for their courteous and
generous efforts to aid us.

The earliest reliable information we have of Benjamin Goss is
found in some of the records of Va. He enlisted in Maj. An-
drew Lewis' Company when twenty years old, was a planter, 5 ft.
8^ in. high. (See ist Vol. Va. Historical Papers, page 382, now
in the State Library, Richmond, Va.) He also received a land
grant for services in the Indian and French war, serving in Col.
Wm. Boyd's Regiment, 2d Va. (See Book of Grants Indian and
French war now in the land office in the Capitol of Va).

The Goss Family. 3

Benjamin Goss and Elizabeth Hamilton were united in mar-
riage April 14, 1764. Miss Hamilton was of Scotch descent and
was born May 12, 1743. She was a cousin of Alexander Hamil-
ton, who fought a duel with and was killed by Aaron Burr.
They resided in Buckingham Co., Va., until about 1803, when
they with most of their children moved to the State of Ga., and
settled in Elbert Co., where they spent the remainder of their
lives.

Benjamin Goss died Nov. 11, 1813, and Mrs. Goss died May
3, 1815. They reared a large and interesting family of sons and
daughters and their descendants are numerous, useful and influ-
ential. Children:

The Old Dictionary.

There is a very old English dictionary in the possession of
Judge Horatio James Goss, of Hartwell, Ga., a great-grand-son
of Benjamin Goss, that was used for the purpose of keeping the
family record of the latter, the entries being made on the margin
of the leaves, with little reference to order, and are scattered all
along through the book. The old book is tattered and torn, the
front and back gone leaving no trace of date of publication. It
was published at a time when the letter s was formed as the
modern letter f. At some time it has been covered with a coarse
domestic plaid, supposed to have been spun and woven by hand
and from cotton picked from the seed by hand and before the days
of the Whitney or other cotton gin. The old cover is also
tattered and torn as evidenced by the accompanying illustration of
the old book, a print from an engraving procured by the writer

REV. HORATIO JAMES- GOSS (i) was born in Va., Fri-
day, Oct. 10, 1788. He was twice married. When quite young
he was in love with Ann Deadwyler, who was also too young to
marry ; and in consequence of their tender age the affair was
broken ofif, and he afterwards loved and married Elizabeth Roe-
buck. Miss Roebuck was born Sept. 17, 1788. They were mar-
ried Nov. 2^, 1806.

Mrs. Elizabeth Goss died and Mr. Goss married his first love,
who was then the widow Bradley with two children. He moved
from Elburt Co., Ga., to Hart Co., and lived there until his death
and was buried in his garden beside his first wife.

In Campbell's Georgia Baptists we find the following sketch of
the life of Rev. Horatio James Goss :

"It is matter of deep regret that so little can be gathered of the life and
labors of the excellent man, whose name stands at the head of this brief
notice. 'What is life? It is even as a shadow that appeareth for a little
while and that vanishes away.' But his name ought to be preserved if for

no other reason, because he was the father of four excellent and useful
ministers of the Gospel, viz: Benjamin, Isham H., William R. and
Horatio James, Jr. He was for years one of the most prominent citizens
of Elbert County, Georgia, and for twenty years was deacon and clerk of
Sardis Church. Late in life he was licensed to preach, and though not
fluent in speech, his great weight of character rendered impressive and
profitable whatever he said, for he always spoke according to the divine
oracles. He was remarkable for punctuality in all his religious and secular
engagements. He used the office of deacon well and was thoroughly
grounded and settled in the faith and practice inculcated in the New Testa-
ment. He believed in ministerial support, not as a charity, but as a duty,
and ever proved his faith by his works, in that he invariably paid his pastor
liberally and punctually, and prompted all around him to do the same. He
departed in peace in 1851, and was supposed to be about sixty-five years
of age*. How greatly hath God honored him in having called four of his
sons to the highest sphere of usefulness assigned to mortals."

MARTHA BOOKERS GOSS (4) was born Oct. 12, 1805, in
Wilkes Co., Ga., not many years after her parents had moved
from Va. She was about five years old when the family moved
to Newton Co., Ga. In Mar., 1824, she was baptized by Elder
Jonathan Nicholson and received into the Liberty Baptist Church,
near Newborn. In Nov. of the same year, she was married to
Hiram Garrard, of Putnam Co., Ga., and moved with him to
Newton Co. in Dec. 1826. Mr. Garrard with his family moved
to Montgomery Co., Ala., in Dec, 1852. Mrs. Garrard died
Apr. 30, 1880, aged 74 years, 6 months and eighteen days. One
of her last expressions was, "Glorious hope ! Eternal joy." Hiram
Garrard, her husband, descended from a long line of prominent
ancestry. Their son, Dr. John D. Garrard, furnished the follow-
ing account of the Garrard family.

"According to an old history of the Huguenots of France, the Garrard
family of France was founded by a direct descendant of Prince Eberhard
of Wertemburg, Germany, known as the "Good Prince" (or King). This

The Goss Family. ii

prince lived over five hundred years ago — this 1901. The Garrards were
all Huguenots and so much opposed to the Catholic rule of the government
that they had, by persecution, to leave France. From time to time, they
went to different countries. Most of them to England. Peter Garrard,
with his family, was probably the last to leave France, as shown by the
records of history. He left France after the Revocation of the Edict of
Nantes, Oct., 1685. His naturalization as a British subject took place May
8. 1687, in the ninth year of the reign of William HI. Says the historian.
'It is doubtless this branch which was transplanted in Va.' Peter Garrard
had two small sons with him when he emigrated to England. These sons
grew up and married in England, where they spent the remainder of their
lives." "Col. William Garrard, of Stafford Co., Va., and his brother J.
Garrard (who changed his name to Gerard) were sons of one of Peter
Garrard's sons, and Robert, John and Jacob Garrard, who settled in the
Carolinas and in Ga., were children of the other son of Peter Garrard."

"Col. William Garrard came to America about 1740 and prob-
ably his brother, J. Garrard, came at the same time. Col. Wil-
liam Garrard was the father of Gen. James Garrard, of Ky.
Robert, John and James Garrard, three brothers, came together
from England to Va., about 1750. They remained in Stafford
Co. a few years and then came on further south. Jacob settled
in North Carolina and Robert in South Carolina. John married
Mary Bolt, of South Carolina, and remained in that state some
years, when he came on to Ga.. where he lived some years before
he bought land and finally settled in Wilkes County in 1773 or
about that date. He was born about 1725 and died in the Spring
of 1807. John Garrard's sons were Jacob and Robert, his daugh-
ters were Frances, who married a man named Ludlow, and
one. name not remembered. Jacob Garrard, son of John Gar-
rard, of Wilkes Co., Ga., was born in 1762. About 1780 he mar-
ried Elizabeth Barron, of Warren Co., Ga., a daughter of Capt.
William Barron, and Rudy Barron (Davis). She was born in
Waterford Co., Ireland, about 1766, and with her parents came to
America about Dec, 1766.

Jacob Garrard, son of John Garrard, as mentioned heretofore,
moved from Wilkes Co. to Putnam Co., Ga., it then being a
part of Baldwin Co., in Dec, 1805, when his son Hiram was not
quite six years old. Jacob died in 1823 and his widow in 1828.
Only three of their children left any heirs, viz. : William Garrard,
of Putnam Co., Ga., Zilla Garrard, who married the Rev. James
M. Rockmore, and Hiram Garrard who married Martha B. Goss.
Hiram Garrard was born Mar. 24, 1800, and died Nov. 7, 1871.
At about 17 years of age he was baptized by Rev. Richard Pace.

JEANNETTE^ GOSS (4) was born in Wilkes Co., Ga.,
Sept. 19, 1807; was educated in the common schools and mar-

family moved to Ala., and settled in Chambers Co., about ten
miles north of Lafayette, the county site. He was a successful

ELDER BENAJAH^* GOSS (4) was born in Wilkes Co., Ga ,
in 1809 and married Mariah Darnell, Elder William Lacy offi-
ciating. Miss Darnell was born June 16, 1813, and is still living
(Dec. 1903) and resides at Lineville, Ala., ninety years old and
in good health for a person of her age. We find in Bledsoe's his-
tory of the Liberty Baptist Association, the following sketch of
the life and character of Rev. Benajah Goss :

"Elder Benajah Goss, died at his residence at Union Springs, Ala., on the
5th day of January last (1866), in the fifty-seventh year of his age. He was
baptized into the fellowship of the Liberty Baptist Church in 1827, and was
married to Miss Mariah Darnell, of Morgan Co., Ga., in 1830, (Feb. 4).
He was licensed in 1836, ordained to the full ministry in Bethel Church,
Chambers Co., Ala., in 1841, by Elders Jesse Moon, John B. Humphries
and William Lacy. He was missionary of the Liberty Association and
traveled and preached for several years to the destitute, principally in
Randolph Co., Ala., where several churches were organized and built up
under his ministry.

"As a preacher, his discourses were characterized by sound doctrine and
much practical godliness, with great earnestness and anxiety for the salva-
tion of souls. Evidently much good was accomplished through his instru-
mentality, * * * *. He has gone to his reward, and while he rests from
his labors, his work will follow after him. He has left us the rich legacy
of Christian example, and testimony to the truth as it in Jesus. He has
shown us how to live and how to die. In his last hours of suffering he
spoke to his Christian wife of receiving blessings from the Lord — such
resignation and Christian fortitude are seldom witnessed as he evidenced to
the last. And his voice is stilled in death, his body relieved from suffering,
and his spirit is at rest with God. Wherefore,

"Resolved, That in the death of Elder Benajah Goss, we feel the cause
has lost a zealous defender and our church a devoted advocate, and the
community a model of Christian piety.

"Resolved, Whilest we mourn the loss of our brother, we humbly bow
to the will of God, who worketh all things together for good to them who
love the Lord.

"Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with his bereaved and afflicted
companion, and hereby extend to her our heartfelt condolence and sym-
pathy with the assurance that she will ever be remembered in our prayers
at the throne of grace." A. J. Slaughter, Ch. Clerk.

Apr. 4, 1868.

The following are merited tributes to the aged and surviving
companion of Rev. Benajah Goss:

Mrs. M. B. Goss is now a resident of Lineville, Ala. She is very old
and infirm being afflicted with bHndness.

She has been living in this community for several years, and has by her
consecrated Christian life and good example, won many friends. Every
one who knows Aunt Goss (as she is familiarly called) loves her.

She is a valiant soldier of the cross always ready to speak for her Lord
and Master. Although declining in health, her love for Christ and His
cause has not relaxed.

She is a member of the Ladies' Aid Society, and while she is providen-
tially hindered from meeting with us, we feel encouraged to know that we
have the prayers of this good Christian mother.

May the Lord bless, sustain and comfort this mother in Israel through
her declining years, is our prayer. Respectfully submitted.

The Ladies Aid Society.

Mrs. M. B. Goss, relict of Rev. Benajah Goss, is yet alive — and is living
at Lineville, Clay Co., Ala.

She was born June i6. 1813, became the wife of Rev. B. Goss in the
seventeenth year of her life, which happy union lasted until the time of
his death on Jan. 5, 1867. Husband and wife were devoted to each other.
It seemed a delight for him to have her accompany him on his mission
tours, and she rejoiced to be his companion in the Lord's service. No
children resulting from this union, the husband seemed prone to pet his
wife as his child, while trusting her as his companion.

During the recent years, since it has been my pleasure to be her pastor,
she seems to live largely in the past. Her husband, his ministry, his life,
his devotion, is the topic of her conversation. The good meetings of long
ago, the old time religion, the sweet experiences of the past, seem to
invigorate and prolong her life.

Her sight is growing very dim, and her strength is ebbing day by day;
very soon she will go to join the husband in glory, but while lingering
here her desire seems to be to make the world brighter with her living.

No doubt her companionship was a benediction to her husband's ministry
and life. The seeds of truth sown by him during his ministry have doubt-
less been watered with her prayers for these many years.

These are glimpses from her life and conversation. Written by her
pastor. J. R. Stodghill,

In Campbell's Georgia Baptists we find the following sketch of
the life of Rev. Benjamin Goss:

The Goss Family. 19

"Rev. Benjamin Goss was reared to industrial habits, working on the
farm from his early boyhood; had scarcely any advantages of education,
was quite moral, frugal and industrious. When quite young he was awak-
ened to the importance of religion, and in a still and quiet manner sought
the Lord and found Him, as he thought, a precious Saviour, and enjoyed
himself much in his private meditations upon God's goodness. He delighted
in visiting the house of God, and in hearing the gospel preached, but his
timidity and backwardness prevented him from opening his mind to any
one.

"At length, after a lapse of several years, he was conversed with on the
subject of his Christian experience and was induced to relate it fully. This
inspired him with a little more confidence, and he ventured tremblingly to
apply to the church for baptism. About 1838 he was received into the
fellowship of Vans Creek Church, at Ruckersville, and was baptized by
Rev. Asa Chandler. Mr. Goss soon became a zealous and active member
of the church, would pray in public when called on, and in a few years
was chosen and ordained a deacon. He was ever active and zealous in his
religious duties, became a leader in prayer meetings, in which he would
sometimes lecture or exhort with great power. The conviction was soon
forced on the minds of his brethren that he was designed of God to labor
in a higher sphere, which corresponding with his own impressions, he was
called to the work of the ministry. He would become so excited and ani-
mated when speaking of God's goodness and love, that he seldom failed to
impress those who heard him. He was ordained about the year 1854, and
for ten successive years he labored in preaching Christ to the people with
great earnest zeal and simplicity. His discourses were uniformly short
and well-timed as to the surroundings, and were never known to worry his
audience, but generally left the impression with the most fastidious that,
though the speaker was not a great preacher, nor a learned man, yet he
was a good man and was doubtless in earnest in all his unaffected and
simple appeals to the heart and conscience of his hearers. He was pastor
of Rock Branch Church several years, and was greatly respected and
beloved by his flock and congregation. At the time of his death he was
also pastor of Bethel Church. He preached his last sermon on Sunday
(preceding his death on the following Friday) at a school house a few
miles from his residence, during the delivery of which he was observed to
be unusually solemn. His disease was brain fever, which produced delir-
ium, so that he was deprived of the privilege of leaving dying testimony
to the religion which he had illustrated so well in life. Eternity will
doubtless disclose that he, and such as he, accomplished more real good in
life and by example they left, than many brilliant men whose eloquence
has entranced thousands, but whose lives lacked the savor of real godli-
ness."

REV. ISHAM HAMILTON^^ GOSS (12) was born Dec. 10,
1816, in Elbert Co., Ga., was prepared for college in the local

20 Genealogy of

schools, such as the country afforded at that time, and finished his
education at college in Knoxville, Tenn, He married Mary Eliz-
abeth Gordon, a sister of the second wife of his brother Benja-
min, Mar. 5, 1840, the Rev. Asa Chandler officiating. Miss Gor-
don was born Feb., 1818, and was a member of the Presbyterian
Church, but joined the Baptist Church after her marriage. Rev.
Isham Hamilton Goss was ordained to the Baptist Ministry Apr.
15, 1842.

Mrs. Ella Craft, of Hartwell, Ga., a daughter of Rev. Isham H.
Goss, writes:

"My father grew up on the farm, attending such schools as the county
afforded. When he expressed a desire for higher education, his father
sent him to Knoxville, East Tennessee College, where he remained two
years. Soon after his return from college, he was married to Mary Eliza-
beth Gordon, of Hart Co., Ga. The Gordons were Associate Reformed
Presbyterians and had sent their daughters Mary and Flora to what is
now known as Duewest, S. C, Female College. Mary, my mother, joined
the Baptist Church after she had been married eight years, and after
bright conversion, having been convinced from reading the Bible its doc-
trines are according to the Scriptures. My father was most happily con-
verted before he was married; joined the church and felt called to
preach. He was ordained to preach after marriage at Russelville, Elbert
Co., Ga. He was a useful minister of the Baptist denomination for forty
years, never missed an appointment if it was possible for him to be there;
always feeling 'woe is me if I preach not the Gospel.'

"My mother made a good preacher's wife in looking well to the house-
hold and carrying on things orderly when he was from home preaching, and
seeing that work on the farm went on (slavery times) as if he were
there. My father kept up family prayer of nights and mornings and my
mother made ready and order for that always. A good helpful wife
makes such not seem a burthen but a looked-for and pleasant part of life's
program."

We find the following sketch in the History of Georgia Bap-
tists: (Index Co.)

"Isham H. Goss during boyhood was solemn, moral and obedient to
his father, having lost his mother when quite small. He had, however,
the care of a kind step-mother, and his early training was thoroughly
religious. * * * In his twenty-first year, in 1837, he journeyed on
horseback to Knoxville, Tenn., and entered r.ast Tennessee College, where
he remained two years diligently pursuing the prescribed course of studies
and reading various works of an instructive character. In Mar., 1839, he
started home, traveling by public hack through S. C, that being ante-
cedent to the days of railroads, and intending to return to college and
study with a view to practicing law, but Providence ordered otherwise.
Attending a general meeting of interest turned his attention most seriously
to the subject of his soul's salvation and after several weeks of pungent
conviction God was pleased by regeneration to light up his soul with hope
of salvation on the i6th of April, 1839, in a manner gloriously overwhelm-
ing. Immediately he felt it his duty to tell others of the preciousness of
the Saviour he had found. With him old things did indeed pass away,

The Goss Family. 21

and all things became new and it now grew to be his great desire to
announce to others the grace of God in Christ Jesus. * * * i^ July,
1839, he united with the Baptist Church at Sardis, being baptized in Cedar
Creek by Rev. Asa Chandler on the 6th day of July. He soon began to
take part in the public services of the church and even to preach when
opportunity offered, but was not licensed until 15th of August, 1840.
He was ordained on 15th of April, 1842. Asa Chandler, B. B. Butler,
Philip Mathews and Miles B. Jones acting as presbyters. * * * por
forty years Mr. Goss was actively engaged in the ministry, most of the
time as the regular pastor of churches, but part of the time as an evan-
gelist and missionary, for ten years ser\qng Sarepta Association as such.
He baptized a great many persons and the savor of his good influence has
been felt wherever he has gone. In all these years God has sustained
him mentally, bodily and financially; has permitted him to see eight chil-
dren grow up and join the church and has given him the unbroken com-
panionship of the wife of his bosom. * * *"

WILLIAM RABURN GOSS (12) was born in Elbert Co., Ga.,
Apr. 21, 1819. He united with the Baptist Church at Vans
Creek, Elbert Co., Ga., July, 1839, and in 1845, was ordained to
the ministry at the request of that church. He was faithful in the
discharge of his duties, punctual in attending his appointments
and was an earnest and faithful worker for the cause of his Mas-
ter.

We find the following sketch regarding him in Campbell's
Georgia Baptists:

"William Raburn Goss had three brothers, Benjamin, Isham H. and Ho-
ratio J. Goss, Jr., whose labors in the ministry were most signally ap-
proved of God. After penitent confession of his sins to God and faith in
Jesus as the Saviour of sinners, he united with the church at Vans Creek
and was baptized by Rev. Asa Chandler in July 1839. Very soon he began
to take a deep interest in the cause of Christ and a desire awoke in his
bosom to warn his fellow men to lay hold on eternal life. In 1840 he
was licensed by his church to preach and in 1845 was ordained at the
request of Vans Creek church to the full functions of the ministry. After
his ordination, though working on his farm and attending to it, he supplied

the churches as their pastor regularly each Sunday in the month within
the bounds of the Serepta Association.

"In 1848 he moved to Franklin Co., Ga., and remained there for ten
years. During this time his labors were blessed of the Lord, and accessions
were made to his churches each year. In 1859 he settled in Franklin
Co., Ala., but from strong convictions of duty and the desire of his
brethren, after four years, he returned to his former field of labor. In
1870, Grove Level, one of the churches which he then supplied, enjoyed a
most wonderful manifestation of the presence of the Holy Spirit. Rev.
I. H. Goss, his brother aided at that meeting and about one hundred were
added to the church before its close. One day during the meeting, a
beautiful day in August, fifty-three were baptized.

"Rev. W. R. Goss spent most of his ministerial life serving churches in
the counties of Elbert, Banks and Jackson. He was a man of medium
size, dark hair originally and blue eyes. As a preacher, though not elo-
quent, he was earnest and his congregations heard him with pleasure and
profit. In early life his educational advantages were limited but making
the Bible his text book by close and prayerful study of its pages he made
a most useful minister of the Gospel."

The Rev. William R. Goss, was thrice married. His first wife
was Priscilla Evenson, they were married Aug. 5, 1841, the mar-
riage ceremony being performed by his brother, Rev. Isham H.
Goss. Miss Evenson was born Apr. 25, 1825. Of this marriage
there were born four children.

Mr. Goss' second wife was Elizabeth Ann Mitchell, of Jackson
Co., Ga. They were married June 22, 1847. ^^^^s Mitchell was
born Apr. 10, 1821. She was a member of Crooked Creek Bap-
tist Church, Jackson Co., Ga. She lived to see her children
grown and all married but one. She died the death of a Christian
July 29, 1877 ; was a noble Christian woman, loved by every one
that knew her. As a wife she was ever a faithful, loving helpmeet
to her husband ; as a mother she was always kind, tender and
true, and was a loving mother to the little girl that had fallen to
her care. W. R. Goss' third wife was Mrs. Lucy F. Chandler of
Madison Co., Ga., She was a member of the Baptist Church and
made him a good, kind wife, and was a good step-mother. She

Jan. 24, 1 82 1, received his early education in the neighboring
schools until nearly grown and then went to Penfield, Ga., to com-
plete his education. He joined the Baptist Church and was bap-
tized by the Rev. Asa Chandler. He came to be a very meek and
gentle man ; was a great lover of all that was pure and good. He
married Sarah Frances Warren, Dec, 26, 1843, his brother, Rev.
J, H. Goss, officiating.

Mr, Goss was ordained to the Baptist Ministry and was a zeal-
ous and useful preacher. He was a model husband, ever kind to
the wife of his choice ; a kind and indulgent father ; a good
neighbor, kind and charitable to the poor, saying "he that giveth
to the poor lendeth to the Lord" and "that it was more blessed to
give than receive." He bore his last illness of long duration with
patience and meekness and often talked of his future to his child-
ren, and with an abiding faith in the promises of the gospel,
awaited his reward. He died Mar. 19, 1874. Mrs. Goss, it is
said, was a very handsome woman ; made a good preacher's wife
and like her husband was ever ready to help the needy, was
always lively and cheerful ; had a sunny disposition. She loved
her church, loved to attend its services and took an active part in
church work ; was a member of a missionary society. She joined

Dec. 18, 1821, was married to William Lancaster in Troup Co.,

The Goss Family. 27

Ga., May 14, 1837. They had nine children. Thus you see she
was only sixteen years of age when she had taken upon her self
the duties and responsibilities of a wife. She made a most excel-
lent wife, was a devoted and loving mother, a consecrated Chris-
tian, having joined the Missionary Baptist Church at twelve years
of age. She was loyal to her church and its cause. William Lan-
caster, her husband, was born in North Carolina Feb. 7, 181 5;
was a good Christian man, a good husband and a friend to all in
distress. He was a member of the Congregational Methodist
Church, a noble and patriotic man. Fought in the Civil War and
was captain of the 3rd Battalion of Ala. Volunteers; was a
planter and financier. There seems always to have been in the
family a strong tendency to the independence of agricultural pur-
suits. He contracted a fatal disease while fighting for the "lost
cause" and was sticken down at Greenville, Ala. His wife went
to him, tenderly nursed him until he became able to be brought
home. After reaching home he continued to grow weaker until the
end, which came Oct. 31, 1864, and was buried at Good Hope, Ala.
His wife was left in easy circumstances, though with five small
children to raise. But she was a woman "that looketh well to the
ways of her household," and by perseverance and good manage-
ment she lived on and raised her children in plenty. In the latter
part of her life she was a great sufferer and many, many times
have her children persuaded her to "break up" and make their
homes her home, but she never consented, but clung to the "old
home." The house still stands on an elevation near the public
road leading from Wetumpka to Tallasee. It is a large white
house, veranda back and front. It has quite a colonial appearance
with its large square columns supporting its front. It was here
that this good woman lived, and here she died on Oct. 2, 1882.
Her last words were "dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt re-
turn and the spirit unto the God who gave it."

The record of this family is a noble one, showing that the
family, through every variety of experience and trial, has kept a
high respectability and met all the demands of life with ability,
fortitude and success. Children :

1828, in Madison Co., Ga., was educated at Meson Academy, Lex-

Miss McCurdy was born June 4, 1826, in Madison Co., Ga., and
was educated at Paoli, Madison Co.

Rev. Jas. N. Coile was a good preacher, a good teacher and a
good farmer. He began preaching after his marriage and sold
a farm to improve his education for this purpose, and went to

The Goss Family. 39

school in Lexington, Ga., with three of his oldest children. After
this he spent his life in Northeast Georgia, preaching, teaching
and farming till the day of his death, which occurred Oct. 24,
1878.

He was one of the purest and best of men, never wronging any
one, but honest and just in all his dealings with his fellow men.
He ranks among the best men and among the best preachers of his
section of the State. His wife, Susan E. Coile, shared with him
a large part of the burden and honor of his strenuous but useful
and successful life. She took care of the stuff and children at
home while he went away to his work. Thus the farm and house
work went on just the same, and the children were under as good
control when he was gone as when at home. Mrs. Coile resides
at Winterville, Oglethorpe Co., Ga. Children:

keep cows and have milk and butter. We raise chickens and have chickens
and eggs. We keep bees and have honey. Then we run our little cannery
in the summer and can corn, beans, peaches, tomatoes and strawberries,
so we can have these things any time of the year.

"We read the papers : The Weekly Constitution, the Semi-weekly Jour-
nal, Sunny South, Christian Index, Home an4 Farm, the Woman's Home
Companion, the Cincinnati Weekly Enpuirer and our county paper, the
Oglethorpe Echo. We have our flower yard and raise flowers to decorate

MARY CHARLOTTE* GOSS (34) was born May 11, 1852,
when she was seven years old her father moved to Lumpkin,
Stewart Co., Ga., where he remained many years, including the
period of the Civil War. Here she and her brothers and sisters
had good school advantages in the Masonic Temple College, and
the Male Academy. When she was sixteen years old, her father
moved to Keene, Jessamine Co., Ky. She there attended a school
taught by her uncle, Thomas B. Gordon, boarding in his family ;
after this she taught two years in Ky. as assistant for her brother,
L H. Goss. Her father having returned to Ga., she found work
in the school room there. Two more years were spent in teaching.
Some intervening years were spent with her father on his farm
near Bowman, Ga. It was in this neighborhood she met Isham
Goss Glower, to whom she was married Dec. 20, 1876. Her
father, Rev. Isham H. Goss, had performed the marriage cere-
mony for J. D. Glower and Paulina Vaughn, and they named
their first boy, Isham Goss Glower, for him. Though born sixteen
or more miles apart and never meeting until grown, it seemed
quite natural that the children of these good friends should love
and marry. After twenty-five years of life together they realize
that a kind Father's hand has guided all their moves. They reside
( 1902) on their farm, situated in the suburbs of the town of Bow-
man, Ga., and are contented and happy. They are consistent
members of the Baptist Church.

FIFTH GENERATION.

119.

JUDGE JOHN AUSTIN^^ LANCASTER (46) was born in
Troup Co., Ga., Dec. 15, 1839, where he lived until he was eight
or ten years of age. His parents then moved to Elmore Co., Ala.,
where he spent his entire after life. John A. was raised on a
farm and received a good education in the neighboring schools.
When the war between the States broke out, he volunteered
among the first, and made a fine record as a brave and efficient
soldier.

He became first lieutenant of Co. D, 17th Alabama Regiment,
and was badly wounded in the battle of Franklin, Tenn. On his
return from the war he found property and nearly everything
else swept away. He went to work, however, with a will, and by
teaching school and farming he soon was enabled not only to
care for himself, but also to aid his family and friends. On
March i, 1866, he was married to Miss Francis Aldora Lett, a

58 Genealogy of

girl as sweet and amiable as she was beautiful of face. She was
born Feb. 28, 1849, and was at the time of her marriage seven-
teen years of age.

It is doubtful if any man ever applied himself more labor-
iously to duty than did John A. Lancaster. By dint of hard
labor and close economy he soon found himself in easy circum-
stances and used his means in giving good advantages to his
family and in lending a helping hand to those in distress.

The poor found in him a ready friend, and many a man to-day
can testify to this truth.

He was a large-hearted, conservative, generous man, abreast
of the times. Provident, broad-seeing magnet around which
property and men naturally gathered. He soon became a prom-
inent and unusually popular man in his county. This latter fact
drew him into the field of politics, and as the nominee of his
party for sheriff he was the first Democrat to carry his county.
After serving one term as sheriff he was nominated for Judge
of Probate, and was elected continuously until he resigned a few-
years before his death. In Feb., 1899, John A. Lancaster was
taken sick and was never again a well man. His sufferings were
great. His physicians failed in diagnosing his case and it was
never fully known what the real trouble was, but seemed to be
the brain. Never was man more tenderly cared for than he.
His devoted wife seemed to live in the very atmosphere of his
every "beck and call," for three long years she never left his
side, only to prepare some dainty nourishment for him, and he
was always happiest when she was near him.

One year before he died he lost his eyesight, and at times his
mind was gone, and it was indeed pitiful and heart-rending to
hear him call for each of his children and ask where they were,
and he never tired of calling the name he loved so well, that of
his wife, "Dora, Dora, are you here?" The answer always came
back : "Yes, I am here." He never connected himself with any
church until after he was taken sick. His pastor, Rev. A. L.
Andrews, visited him often during his sickness, and they spent
many hours in earnest conversation on religion, until he became
satisfied of his acceptance with God, and was received into the
communion of the Methodist Epicopal Church, South. That was
indeed a solemn hour when he united himself with the church.

The Goss Family. 59

and his family all knelt around his bed and received with him
the emblems of our Lord's sufferings and death. (His wife is a
consecrated Christian, a member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, All their children belong to the same church.)
On the 6th day of March, 1901, the end came, and he died as
peacefully as a little child falling asleep. He was buried in the
Wetumpka cemetery. Children :

i. Son*, died in infancy.

Troup Co., Ga.

Mr, Holloway responded to the call of his country and never
returned. He died of a wound received in battle, July 20, 1864.

Mrs, Holloway, left a widow, moved back to Ala,, and settled
in Chambers Co. In 1874 she married George W. Clemmens, a
farmer and an honored and respected citizen of Chambers Co.

carry arms, he was detailed an orderly for Adjutant S. L. Alex-
ander, of the 3rd Georgia Regiment, Company "H." He was a
brave young man, ever ready and faithful to his trust in the
most furious conflict. His education was completed at the Cen-
tral "Institute," under Dr. F. A. Bragg. He joined the Meth-
odist Episcopal Church, South, when twenty years of age and
was ever ready to support its cause. He was a true and noble
man, his motto, "Dare to do right." He was a financier and
capitalist, was noted for his fair and honest dealings with his fel-
low man. God never blessed his home with a living child, but
it has often been called "The Orphans' Home," he having reared
four orphans, one boy and three girls. They bless his name,
while he sleeps in the celestial city. He married Lucretia Viola
Lett, in Elmore Co., Ala., Oct. 22, 1872. She was born and
reared in Elmore Co., Ala., educated at Good Hope, Ala., and is

energy, practical methods and courageous industry has been

successful in a marked degree, and at his present age enjoys the
high esteem and respect of his fellow-man. While Mr. Lancas-
ter has never connected himself with any religious organization,
he is inclined to affiliate with the M. E. Church, South. His
private life is above reproach and by the purity of his conversa-
tion and many quiet deeds of charity has wielded a potent in-
fluence for good. On Mar. i, 1878, he married Lula Carolyn
Osburn, born at Natches, Miss., Aug. 30, 1861, and who at an
early age being left motherless, was reared by her grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. Theophilus Osburn, at Tallassee, Ala., but having
married at the early age of seventeen her educational course was
not completed. At the age of 16 she became a member of the
M. E. Church, South, and her many Christian graces and loy-
alty to the welfare of her husband and family at once distinguish
her as an ideal wife. She is a woman endowed with many per-
sonal charms and ever ready to help the sick or distressed, and
is loved by all her neighbors and numerous friends. One child:

FORIVIS FOR CONTINUING FAMILY

RECORD

The following forms are intended for use continuing the
family record in direct line of descent of persons possessing a
copy of the work. It would be impracticable to provide for
continuing the record in all the lines, hence, it is contemplated
that but one family of each generation will be recorded, that
being the family of the person who by gift, inheritance or other-
wise takes the book as it descends from generation to genera-
tion.

It may be remarked that there are many persons who have
ancestors named in the work, but whose names do not appear,
and others whose names do appear, but of whom little is re-
corded, because the compiler was not in possession of the
needed information. To all such it is suggested, if the required
information is at hand, the record may be perfected, beginning
with the last ancestor named, using the following forms and
observing the system of reference by numbers. Use the pre-
ceeding pages of writing paper for index to these forms.

It is to be regretted that so little attention has been given
to the preservation of information relating to our ancestors.
Thousands of persons are to-day searching records, advertising
and corresponding, seeking information of their ancestry and
kindred.*

May not the compiler hope that this little book will be appre-
ciated and preserved for many years to come, and he be kindly
remembered for his arduous labor in its preparation?

*Let all your entries be made in a good handwriting with Arnold's
writing fluid or other flrst-class ink that will not fade.
