GA Bible Records, Brooks Co. Confederate Pension List and Church Records

June 26th, 2009

www.GeorgiaPioneers.com has published online some interesting records, viz: church membership rolls, old bible records and confederate pension rolls. For one, church membership records are difficult to find.  What we are talking about here is driving the backwoods to try and locate someone who has saved the old church records, even though that church may have long since disappeared. Here are some – Beard’s Creek Church in Glenville (Tattnall County) membership records of 1804; Crooked Creek Primitive Baptist Church in Putnam County, 1807, 1820, 1824-1826 members; Harmony Church in Richland (Stewart County), 1839 members; Nancy Creek Church this church was once enumerated in DeKalb County, but it is actually in north Atlanta, now Fulton County) minutes and members 1824-1833; New Hope Primitive Baptist Church in Yatesville (Upson County), 1824 members; Oakey Grove Church in Johnson County, 1818 members; Providence Church in Luthersville (Meriwether County), 1832 members; Upper Black Creek Church in Brooklet (Bulloch County) 1802 members; and the Quaker Membership and Minutes which includes marriages in McDuffie County.  The Quaker records were published in Hinshaw’s Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy for the Wrightsville church.  If you will recall, the location is Thomson, Georgia, whose records were first found in Richmond and Columbia Counties, but after Columbia County was divided is now McDuffie County.  Nothing remains of the buildings in that area if you are interested in taking the tour.  The Quaker religion seemed to have disappeared from Georgia by the 20th century. The Wrightsville group were those who left the North Carolina Meeting Houses to form a church in Georgia. Also added to the website are a number of bibles, viz: William Young; William Blount; William Butman (image of original bible); Thomas Carson; Griswold (image of original bible); William Hollis; Hoyle; William Jenkins and Patterson. GeorgiaPioneers.com also has a wide collection of Georgia Bible Records, a book published by Jeannette Holland Austin. These bibles consist of the private collection of Ms. Austin and others; the book is readily available to all members or subscribers of the website. And finally, of interest to civil war buffs is a list of Confederate veterans in Brooks County, Georgia who received a pension for their disability or disabilities incurred during the war; also widows of soldiers who died during the war who received pensions. The soldier’s list contains such information as the date of death and where died.  The widow’s list contains the full name of her husband, is date and place of death, if known. The pensions begin 1890 and go to about 1895. This record was discovered at the Brooks County court house. There are many other records on the website such as lists of soldiers in confederate hospitals, the Confederate Dead database which lists over 32,000 names of soldiers. This record is a composite of obituary records, private and national cemeteries, and is alphabetical for easy finger-tip reference.  If you have ever wondered where your soldier is buried, his unit, names of spouses and other relatives, this record is replete with all available data.

Think of State Papers When Searching for Immigrants

June 23rd, 2009

All passengers lists have not been published in books. Actually there are only a handful of such publications and there yet remains much of this type of work to be published. The National Archives is the place to search for passenger lists and ship manifests (which lists the passengers). Examining these records is a tedious job, but remember that the manifests were frequently given over to the port authorities months after the arrival date. Another place to obtain arrival information is in State Papers. Example, the North Carolina State Papers contains petitions from various vessels loaded with Scots and Irish persons seeking refuge and land in America. One particular instance before the American Revolution included a vessel loaded with the McDonalds and other clans from the Isle of Skye who had been poltically aligned with the Stuarts. They were seeking refuge from British persecution. The petition itself in addition to listing many of the passengers explains the date these clans settled and the large tracts of land they received in Moore County, North Carolina. This is the sort of information we want, isn’t it? The historical events and brave struggles of our families.

    Chesterfield’s Letters by Lord Chesterfield. Letters, Sentences and Maxims. Philip Dormer Stanhope, Earl of Chesterfield, 1694-1773, had a fate generally misunderstood. Dr. Johnson, a poor scholar but in the prime of life, seems to have mistaken a delay in an interview, and to have abused his lordship very soundly ever afterward. To this misconception we owe one of the finest and manliest letters ever written. Mrs. Eugenia Stanhope, the widow of the recipient of these letters, sold them, enhanced in value from the earl’s literary reputation, for 1,500 pounds! That was an immense sum in those days. Published 1894 in Philadelphia, 307 pp., indexed. A rare find indeed!

    GRAVES. I am researching early Georgia to discover more about the Graves family. My gg grandfather was George Graves who married Lulender Gunn in 1840 in Warren County, Georgia. I can’t find George’s parents. There was a Thomas Graves Sr b 1729 Lower Potomack Hundred, Maryland. He and sons are listed on the 1790 Franklin County Census. I can’t connect any of them to George Graves yet. One thing I know, is that Dr. George Graves who married Mary Scott June 26 1790 in Augusta, Georgia is not the father of my George Graves. My George Graves and wife moved west through Alabama, Mississippi, and settled in Wood County, Texas 1854-1858, where they are listed on the 1860 census. I am aware of a Graves family in Muscogee County Georgia and wonder if they are related to my George Graves? Eddie Graves, Wichita Falls, Texas. egraves@sw.rr.com

    From: S A STANCLIFF Date: 5/17/2009 1:58:35 PM To: jeannette@georgiapioneers.com Subject: Re: Lost Generations Jeannette: I’ve been trying to desperately find the gravesite of John Peacock (married to Nancy Peyton), both from Maryland. Here’s what I know: –first they lived in Oglethorpe Co. –he died in Jasper Co., GA –his birth/death dates: 1745-1826 –There are a lot of Jasper Co. deed documents I’ve found on line between he and his sons, etc. –I assume he’s buried on his land…which is hard to pinpoint. –He had sons Lewis, Daniel and William…just to name a few of his children. –His son Lewis married Avey Hill, daughter of Mordecai Hill. I’ve visited the county library in Monticello, GA but still can’t find where he’s buried. Thanks for anything you can supply.

    When colonials came to the American colonies, they left family and friends in England. Many of the first adventurers and settlers had connections in England. For one thing, they had a factor there, a company who handled their financial transactions in the business of importing and exporting goods to and from the American plantations. During the 17th century, a well known factor was The London Company and some of their transactions were published in a book by that name. During the 18th century, there was the Hermitage London Co. We learn the names of such firms by reading the lengthy colonial wills. In Savannah, colonial residents filled up the will books with wills spanning from 30 to 50 pages! These details are of much interest to the historian who learns of a whole way of life. Indeed, colonials had an impressive knowledge of business and handled every facit of it with the expert assistance of neighbors and associates at home and abroad. Every plantation was an expansive agricultural business which provided the community with its economy.

    An Illustrated History of Ireland from AD 400 to 1800 By Mary Frances Cusack
    Boot Hill Cemeteries, a list of burials
    Charter and Supplemental Charter of the Judon’s Bay Company by Hudson Bay Company
    Chesterfield’s Letters by Lord Chesterfield. Letters, Sentences and Maxims. Philip Dormer S#FFF8DChope, Earl of Chesterfield, 1694-1773, had a fate generally misunderstood. Dr. Johnson, a poor scholar but in the prime of life, seems to have mistaken a delay in an interview, and to have abused his lordship very soundly ever afterward. To this misconception we owe one of the finest and manliest letters ever written. Mrs. Eugenia Stanhope, the widow of the recipient of these letters, sold them, enhanced in value from the earl’s literary reputation, for 1,500 pounds! That was an immense sum in those days. Published 1894 in Philadelphia, 307 pp., indexed. A rare find indeed!
