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 fam-
ily record in direct line of descent. Thus may be added many
generations 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 DAVIS FAMILY

FIRST GENERATION.

JONATHAN1 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 years 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 Cathart'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:

i. James2.

ii. Mary, b. about 1757; m. David Phillips,
iii. John, b. about 1759; m. Mary Easton.
iv. William, b. Jan. 7, 1765; m. Nancy Easton.

v. Llcy, b. ; m. Goodall.

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

vii. Susannah, b. Oct., 1769; m. Benjamin Goss.
viii. Elizabeth, b. about 1780; m. James Hitchcock.

father, is supposed to have been first born. We have not been
able to procure a copy of the family record of Jonathan Davis
nor any account of the family and descendants of James Davis.

MARY2 DAVIS (1) was born in Va. and married David
Phillips in her native State. They moved to the State of Ga.,
about 1803, and settled in Wilkes Co. Mrs. Miles J. Green, of
Clanton, Chilton Co., Ala., writes Jan. 27, 1902: "I have often
heard my mother say, that my grandparents, David and Mary
Phillips, had sixteen children." We have an account of eleven.

REV. JOHN2 DAVIS (1) was born 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
born. 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 1 have carried the
most affectionate memory of her in my heart."

REV. WILLIAM2 DAVIS (1) 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.

'"As soon as he had discharged this solemn duty, he returned home and
submitted himself to his parents. Soon thereafter, being encouraged by his
brethern, 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, Air. 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 1788, 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-
ing 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
lie 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 effect produced, that it was regarded as the
commencement of one of the most glorious revivals ever experienced in
that county, lie 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 bis
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

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 farewell, 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-

of the Davis family, have said Lucy married Richardson, but Mr.
Davis in his will calls her "my daughter Lucy Goodall." She
may have been twice married. Her husband died and left her
with two children. When the children were grown they and their
mother moved west and are lost trace of.

then moved to and settled in Morgan Co., Ga., and in 1838 moved
to Burleson Co., Tex. Mr. Hitchcock and his brother built many
of the Court Houses in the State of Georgia.

Tradition has it that when seven years old James Hitchcock
carried a horse to his father at Yorktown, after the surrender of
the British to ride home, and that he rode home behind his father.

REUBEN E.3 DAVIS (4). The following account of the life
and career of Reuben E. Davis is gleaned from his book, Recol-
lections of Mississippi and Mississippians. 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 men 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. 13

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, but 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 Crawfordville, 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 Sabbath 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, while 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 Jefferson 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 more 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 Masters joy."

JEPTHA V.3 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 27 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 souh 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 by 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. JAMES3 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 MERCER3 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 born 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 JACKSON3 HITCHCOCK (9) was born Feb.
21, 1 81 3, 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 ^n 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 Genealogy 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.

EMILY3 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 was 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 :

MARTHA4 DAVIS (22) was born Dec. 1, 1818, and married
Dr. John C. Gilbert Apr. 7, 1835.

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 breaking 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 MORTON4 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 SANDERS4 DAVIS
(23) was born Jan. 25, 1833, was graduated at the State Univer-

Nov. 11, 1856; served one year as Prof Belles-Lettres in Male
College ; taught in several high schools and was offered profes-
sorship in several colleges. He was admitted to the bar of Ga.
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 fidelity.

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 lie 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. Burns, 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."

three of my daughters.

"Fredonia Z. Davis Jackson was born in the little town of Crawford-
ville, afterward becoming famous in history as being the home of (Liberty
Hall) Hon. A. H. Stephens, the great statesman. She never saw Mr.
Jackson (only in her dreams) until 1864. Mr. Jackson enlisted in the
service of the Confederate States in 1861 for one year. He went with the
Newnan Guards April 1, 1861. After one year he joined a company then
being made up of Carroll and Haralson Counties, Captain Tumlin cavalry

.Mr. and Mrs. Davis were members of the Baptist Church and

25, 1895. Rev. W. H. Davis died at his residence, Hephzibah,
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 intelligence of the death of the Rev. William H. Davis, of
Hephzibah, reached the city this morning. He died very suddenly at his
home, about n o'clock last night, of apoplexy. This very sad occurrence
casts a gloom over a happy household and quiet community, and calls
f'.r the fullest -ympathy 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. 5:$

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 life and character of Mr. Davis we have the following

burg Sept. 11, 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 sons
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."

FOR/VIS 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?
