Foreword
This document has but one purpose, to document and preserve the rich
ancestry of the Brown Family.
The 'notes' about each individual are provided, even when they simply
provide a question left in my mind for later review by myself, or other
researchers.
All genealogy is a work-in-progress and never finished or complete.
Please excuse any typographical errors.

By the honorable the ordinary of said county.
To B. P. Brown greeting:
Whereas, J. W. Brown age 18 years, W. C. Brown age 13 years, and Talitha M. Brown age 10 Orphans of J.
L. Brown possessed in his own right considerable Estate-- by means whereof, the power of granting the
guardianship of said Orphans to me is manifestly known to belong and the better securing the Estate, and more
ample maintenance and education of the said Orphans, and from the integrity and confidence reposed in you, I do
hereby commit the tuition, education and Guardianship of the said Orphans, to you the said B. P. Brown Jr. (you
assenting thereto by the acceptance of these Letters.) herein charging you, that you maintain them in meat, drink,
clothing and lodging; that you cause them to be educated in such manner as shall be suitable to their interest and
circumstances; and that you enquire into and take charge of their Estate, both real and personal, and all other
things do, which by Law you ought to do for your said Ward. A true and perfect account of all which you shall
render to the Court of Ordinary of the said county, on the first term in every year, during your continuance in
office; and I do hereby constitute and appoint you the said B. P. Brown Jr. Guarding of the said Orphans, during
their minority.
In Testimony whereof, I have hereunto officially set my hand and seal, this 8th day of December 1910.
J. A. Robertson, Ordinary, Habersham County.

Know all Mean by these presents, That we, B. P. Brown as Principle and American Bonding Co. of
Baltimore, as security acknowledge ourselves jointly and severally bound unto J. A. Robertson Ordinary of said
County, and his successors and assigns, in the just and full sum of One Thousands Dollars, to the true payment of
which, well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, and the heirs and executors of us and each of us, jointly and
severally by these presents.
Sealed with our seals, and dated this 8 day of December 1910.
Note: I do not understand why Guardianship was given now (December 1910) when their father died in
January 1903........Unless that they received money when their grandfather Henry Loudermilk died. But, Henry
Loudermilk died in September 1917. Was there a law that a woman (their mother) could not be given that
responsibility.....??????? And why in 1910.
Women were not given the right to vote until 1920. When the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in August,
1920, granted women the right to vote in all United States elections.
--Went to DeKalb County, Georgia land records office to try to find the deed for when Wade and Minnie purchased
the dairy. This was an extremely busy place, and the books needed were not available. So found what records I
could. On a the second trip, now to Fulton County to find when he purchased the land in Fulton County for his
first dairy. Could not find the books or records I wanted, but found what I needed for the purchased of land in
32
Dekalb. I entered the records in order of dates.

Notes for Minnie Belle Stephens:
The Stephens family went to the Mountain Grove Church, which was a short wagon ride from their home. After
1903 and until 1940, Mountain Grove School was held in the Mountain Grove Church. After Ballew School
burned, students were sent to Mountain Grove Church to attend class. This is where the Stephens' children went to
school.
To reach the former site of this school (Church), take Red Root Road 61, a one lane dirt road off Highway
123 east of Mt. Airy. Follow Nancy Town Lake Road for about four miles to a cemetery on the left. Only the
cemetery remains as a reminder of a once active community. This area is now in the Lake Russell Wildlife
Management Area in Stephens County, but before 1906, it was in Habersham County. this is the cemetery where
Minnie's father Robert Franklin Stephens and her younger sister Lucile are buried.
Mountain Grove School was a grammer school. All grades from the first through the seventh or eight were
taught. All ages from five or six and up attended.
The church was a frame building with one room. A curtain divided the classes. The benches and desk were
long enough for two or three people to sit on. A bucket was used to carry water from a spring. Each child had his
or her own individual drinking cup.
Heat was furnished from a pot-bellied stove. Parents cut and hauled wood for the heater. During the winter
some wood was always kelp in the building to stoke the heater.
The children walked to school carrying their lunch pails or buckets with them. The lunches were placed on a
shelf inside the building until noon, at which time the children eagerly devoured their lunches and then went to the
playground for their favorite games. These games were creative play as no playground equipment was provided.
There were no toilets.

Sending Christmas Overseas (only part of the article)
Photo of Doris Brown (Dot in the article) cooking on 1940's small gas stove, wearing a ruffled apron.
Mrs. J. W. Brown, 1321 Ormewood Avenue, S.E., frying chicken, which she will can and put into a
Christmas box for her husband in the Navy.
Half way into the articleCute little 18-year-old "Dot" Brown sent 20-year-old "Dub"Brown several cans of fried chicken last
spring. In private life they are Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Brown and they have been married a year and a half.
Dot lives with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Hooks, at 1321 Ormewood Avenue, S.E. She fried the
chicken at home, filled nine cans with it at Sears' Farmers' Market cannery, and still has two cans to
include in Dub's Christmas box, which will also contain home-baked apples. She has sent him homecanned pears and peaches, and she plans to try an experiment that worked perfectly for one of her friends
- she's going to select perfect apples, coat them with paraffin wax and send them raw to Dub. The
chicken took two months to reach him (he's with the Navy in England on L. C. I.) but he wrote it was just
as tender and tasty as if it had just come out of the skillet. Hot, too, as he warmed the can.

Notes for Benjamin Pollard Brown, Sr.:
Interesting Fact: The Governor of Georgia, Joe Brown in January of 1862 issued a proclamation that all ablebodied men who were not in service by March 4 of that year would be required to register for the draft. Those
who volunteered before that date were promised a $50.00 bounty in good Confederate money. This induced
William P. Brown, the County Tax Collector and Michael Ragsdale, County Surveyor, to organize a company of
men. William P. Brown (this was Benjamin Pollard Brown first cousin) was elected Captain. They got about 95
men to meet and train for war on a field beside Middle River behind Leatherwood Church. Proudly calling
themselves the Middle River Volunteers they were activated on March 4, 1862 as Co. D, 43rd Regt. GA
Volunteer Infantry, CSA.

B. P. Brown, Sr. Dead
Mr. B. P. Brown, Sr., one of the most highly respected citizens of Stephens County, died of heart failure on last
Thursday at the old family home, near Ayersville. While his death was not un looked for by those who knew his
condition, yet the announcement of his demise was a shock to the entire community. He had been seriously ill for
several weeks.
Mr. Brown was a man of quiet, unassuming, retiring disposition, but at the same time was a man of very strong,
sturdy character, never compromising with evil. His grandfather came to Georgia from South Carolina many
years ago. The deceased was born in 1836, in the month of February, and hence was 74 years of age at the time
of his death. Though he appeared to be much younger. With his family he moved from Banks county into what is
now Stephens about 1870, and for many years lived where he died.
For forty years Mr. Brown has been a member of Mount Pleasant Baptist church, and into this, as in all other
things with which he connected himself, he put the strength of his personality and character.
Mr. Brown went early in the 60’s into the Confederate army and made a brave, constant soldier, but he has never
asked and has never drawn a pension.
He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Elizabeth Hulsey, of Habersham county, and 8 children, as follows:
Mrs. Nancy Terrell, Mrs. Mary King, B. P. Brown Jr., (Ordinary of Stephens County), W. P. Brown, Mrs. Sarah
Loudermilk, Hugh, Joe, Mrs. Emma Farmer.
The remains were buried Saturday morning at Mt. Pleasant Baptist church.

Gunfight at Reynolds Mill: Self-defense from a Crazed Moonshiner
Andrew Martin on 11 Jul 2009
Gunfight at Reynold's Mill: Currahee Mountain, Georgia, from "Life Along the Middle Broad River", page 77
52
Informants also remember a store being operated at [Reynold's Mill] and a mill keeper's house located just across
the road. Henry Farmer operated the mill in 1917-1918. After that W.V. Watkins operated the mill and lived in
the house across the road. The mill reportedly burned in the late 1920's. Several informants told of a killng at the
mill, where Alex Holcomb fell into the scales in about 1921. Arzo Newsom stated in a 1988 interview that "Henry
Acree shot the boy three times in the heart, and [Holcomb] looked as though he was still going to get up."
Note: Told from the perspective of the Acree family, namely the sister of Henry, my grandmother Retha Acree,
the shooting was in self defense, and that Henry was a better shot.
Herschel was ambushed and cut to shreds by the Holcomb Moonshine Gang in 1924. Henry Acree brought the
culprits to justice and imprisonment. One of the Holcombs, when released from prison, vowed revenge on the
Acrees, and after release drew his gun on Henry Lumpkin Acree at Reynold's Mill at Currahee, Stephens County,
Georgia. Henry shot him through the heart three times in self-defense, and the Holcomb man fell lifeless onto the
scales at Reynold's Mill.
This information is confirmed by the granddaughter of Henry, Joann Acree, over 90, who relays the following
information in 2009 about the Holcombs, who were moonshiners set out for revenge:
"The killing by my granddad Henry Acree was as follows.................three members of the Holcombe family had a
still.............and one day as Henry's brother Hurchell was out they ambushed Hurchell and cut him up............the
story is approximately 82 cuts............killing him on the spot. The Holcombe man gave himself up, was tried,
convicted and sentenced to 1 to 2 years. From the beginning he vowed to get Henry when he got out..............but
when he went looking for Henry...............Henry was ready and shot him first with 3 shots to the heart or so the
story goes. I have the grand jury indictments, warrants and jury finding on each as well as newspaper articles. I
will get copies of them to you as soon as I am back home and can scan them. A cousin, Edgar Acree who later
moved to Texas told me the story a long time ago. Edgar said he was down by the creek with granddad the day
granddad shot the Holcome man. That granddad turned to him (Edgar) handed him the gun and said ...come on
lets go see the sheriff.................I have written what Edgar told me but oh how I wish I had recorded him telling
it."
Henry's son Jack Knox Acree later became Superintendant of Georgia Public Schools. Jack was the uncle of
Joann Acree.

--The Community Behind Currahee
By Mary Lee Brown Steele
The 17,000 acres which is now the lake Russell Wildlife Management Area was originally inhabited by Native
Americans, The Cherokee. After the forced removal of the Cherokee, the land was settled by immigrants
primarily from Germany, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland in the early 1800's. Immigrant family names include
Ayers, Brown, Cash, Colston, Dean, Edmonds, Farmer, Fricks, Kelley, Kimbrell, Lathan, Naves, Norton, Payne,
53
Pless, Reynolds, Savage, Simmons, Stephens, Thomason, Umberhant, and Westphal.
These families made up a self-sufficient community. The residents employed selective cutting of timber for their
building and farming needs, so that the land retained its natural beauty and bounty. In those days, the air and
water were pure and clean. The people traveled the dirt roads by wagon on their way the area saw mills, general
stores, corn mills, shingle mills, syrup mills, blacksmith shops, the cotton gin, Mountain Grove Baptist Church, or
the country store which housed the Leatherwood Post Office and School.
Residents went to town for a few necessities, such as flour, salt, sugar, coffee beans, and baking soda. The
majority of residents were small farmers, and they supplied the rest. The largest farm was owned by William
Preston Brown; it encompassed 1,000 acres. Brown's great-grandfather, Robert Brown, immigrated from Ireland
to the United States in the late 1700s. Brown mainly used his land for the cultivation of corn but also grew
peanuts, okra, tomatoes, sweet and Irish potatoes, syrup cane, and cotton. Brown also had apple, fig, peach, and
pear orchards and kept bees for candle making and honey. In addition, whiskey-making was another favorite
enterprise of the community; it was sold and used for medical purposes when mixed with herbs. In the early years,
sheep, hogs, and chickens were raised to provide meat.
Even though most Native Americans had already been forced away from the area, William Brown remembered
when he was a small boy that a family of hungry, tired Indians came by the "old Place," the name fondly given to
the area by the families who once lived there. Brown recalled that he was afraid of them, but his mother was not
and fed them.
In the early 1930s, the United States Government wanted the land for construction of a dam, a wildlife
management area, a potential military base and/or for timber cutting. The owners were told would be given $5.00
an acre, and they could cut the timber it they cooperated in moving from the area. If they did not cooperate, the
land would be condemned and taken for $3.00 an acre without being allowed to cut the timber. The families chose
the former alternative.
All of the families relocated themselves to surrounding counties and cities. The Randol Brown family was the last
to leave the area on January 1, 1941. In order to encourage Randol Brown, nephew of William Brown, to move,
he was told that others had already sold their land and that he and his family would be endangered by the potential
military firing range in the area. Finally, all of the families left with a promise from the U.S. Government that
their cemeteries would be taken care of.
During World War II, the area was used for paratrooper training. Currently, this land is used as the Lake Russell
Wildlife Management Area and for timber cutting. The cemeteries are kept up by the families however.
The community behind Currahee Mountain has never been "lost" to those who lived there. It is still an historic
and pre-historic special place. Their hope is that it can be restored to its original beauty.

Rev. A. Terrell, County Treasurer, Passes Away
Rev. Aaron Terrell, highly esteemed citizen and Treasurer of Franklin County, died at his home near
Carnesville last Friday afternoon, after an illness of several weeks' duration. He had been confined to his
bed for some time with stomach trouble and other complaints.
Rev. Terrell was serving his fourth year as county treasurer and was recently elected by an overwhelming
majority to succeed himself for another term of four years, thus proving his popularity over the county.
Prior to the time of his election as county treasurer, Rev. Terrell filled many pastorates in the Baptist
Church. He was ordained to a Baptist ministry in 1883 by a presbytery composed of the following
ministers: Rev. John Kytle, Rev. Porter, and Rev. Ryder. He served the following churches as pastor;
Old Currahee, Chopped Oak, Carnes Creek, and Rock Creek. Rev. Terrell did a great deal of preaching
in many other churches where he was not the pastor, preaching with other pastors in revivals and
evangelistic meetings, and in this kind of work he was very successful.
Funeral services were held from Cross Roads Baptist church Saturday, September First. His pastor, Rev.
J. R. Lancaster, conducted the funeral services assisted by the life long friends of the deceased,
concourse of friends and relatives attended the funeral to pay their tribute of respect to their friends and
brother. The Masonic Lodge of which he was a prominent member, had charge of the closing part of the
services as is their custom.
Rev. Terrell numbered his friends by his acquaintances. He was a big-hearted, accommodating, cheerful,
kind to everyone and in his passing the community lost a valuable officer and citizen.
Rev. Terrell was born January 15, 1858 in Habersham county. He joined the Mt. Pleasant Baptist church
when he was twenty years old and always lived up to his beliefs. He was married to Miss Nancy Jane
Brown in 1878, and to this union eleven children were born, ten of whom now survive him. The sons are
Dr. J. H. Terrell of Belmont, N.C., B. D., A. E., ?.P., T. G. and F. M Terrell, all of Carnesville; the
daughters are: Mrs. E. S. Forrester, Mrs. O. H. Purcell, Mrs. T. O. Means, of Carnesville, and Mrs. N. F.
Prickett, of Commence. He is also survived by his wife, thirty-five grandchildren and many other
relatives.
The relatives have the sympathy of all in the death of this good man. B. D. Ginn, funeral director was in
charge.

Card of Appreciation
To the voters of Stephens County:
There are not words in the English language for me to express to you my appreciation for your vote and
influence in the past campaign and the many kind words of Sympathy and regrets in my defeat.
My defeat was caused by me doing my duty as mayor of the city of Toccoa. My every act was for the
upbuilding and best interest of every citizen and taxpayer of Toccoa, but a majority of the voters
forgetting the immoral conditions of the city in 1923 and 1924 when I was over persuaded by my friends
to rush for Mayor and was elected and I did my duty, causing my defeat, which I accept with all good
grace and in the best of spirits. My friends and supporters will ever be remembered for their faithful
work. Wishing you much prosperity and happiness in the future, I am sincerely,
Your friend, B. P. Brown

B. P. Brown Dies After a Brief Illness
County's First Ordinary
Passes in 75th year after
Paralysis attacks. In office 28 years.
Benjamin Pollard Brown, Stephens County's first Ordinary, and one of the best known men in this
section of the state, passed away at his home here at 5:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon, after having
suffered two strokes of paralysis - one Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock and another the following morning
at four o'clock. Mr. Brown was 75 years old, having attained that age on December 15.
Born in Banks County, just across the Stephens (then Habersham) County line, where he resided until
1889 at which time he moved to Toccoa. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Kytle in 1887,
For several years Mr. Brown was employed as clerk in mercantile business in Toccoa and later entered
business in which he remained until the duties of the office of Ordinary of Stephens County required his
full time. This was in 1905 when he was elected as the county's first officer in the Court of Ordinary,
where he served until 1932, a period of 27 years. In 1936 Mr. Brown was again elected and served up
until his death last week.
The deceased was regarded as one of the most efficient ordinaries in the state and was thoroughly
familiar with the conduct of the court affairs, having served as head of the Board of Roads and Revenues
for many years. He knew as many or more people throughout this and adjoining counties as any citizen
of Stephens County. He had been privileged to enjoy a wide circle of friends throughout life.
Early in the year 1905, when the first Baptist Church formed a building committee to attend to the duties
incident to the erection of a new church edifice, Mr. Brown was chosen secretary along with Dr. Jeff
Davis, as chairman, E. F. Mitchell, Treasurer. Other members of the committee were C. H. Dance, T. R.
Isbell, C. L. Mize, and T. W. Williford. Dr. M. M. Riley was pastor of the church at that time.
Funeral services were conducted at the First Baptist Church here at 11 o'clock Monday morning, after the
Body of the late Ordinary had lain in State in the Court House earlier in the morning. Hundreds of
friends filed past the flower laden casket to pay a final tribute.
Dr. A. T. Cline was in charge of the funeral services, assisted by Dr. Elam F. Dempsey, Rev. A. C. Craft,
Dr. R. A. Forrest, and Rev. E. J. Johnson, of Cornelia First Baptist Church. A large concourse of friends
filled the church and great quantities of flowers formed an immense floral offering.
Dr. Cline made an impressive talk on the life of the deceased and reviewed the highlights of his years in
private and public service.
Surviving are 5 sons; John H. of Cornelia, Norman T., Wingo C., and Pollard Brown of Toccoa and
Witham A. Brown of Americus, and two daughters, Mrs. Dora Sherard, of Toccoa, and Mrs. J. C.
Holley, Milton, Florida; five grand children, two brothers, Joe Brown of Alabama and Will of Toccoa;
three sisters, Mrs Joe Farmer, Ayersville'; Mrs. Sarah Loudermilk, Demorest, and Mrs. Will King of
Atlanta.
Interment was in Toccoa Cemetery.

Hugh Brown Killed By Son
10302-C
Mr. Hugh Brown, a well-known citizen of the Ayersville section, was shot and instantly killed about
9:30 o'clock, Sunday night, by his young son, Bunjo, aged about 11 years.
The sad affair occurred when Mr. Brown was preparing to retire for the night. It is alleged that a quarrel
had been in progress between Brown and his wife, the latter haven been driven from the house. The boy
is said to have become incensed at the action of his father, and procuring a shot-gun, shot him in the
63
back.
A coroner's inquest was held Monday, when a verdict in accordance with the above version of the
tragedy was rendered. The boy was placed under bond for the appearance at next term of court.
Mr. Brown was about 48 years of age. His funeral was held Monday evening, interment being at Mt.
Pleasant cemetery, near Mt. Airy.
--A story written by Cora Ledbetter entitled "Screams":
One morning we were sitting around the fireplace listening to stories told by our parents. All of a sudden
we heard blood curdling screams. On listening, we decided it was at our neighbor's house, one quarter
mile up the road.
Against my Mother's wishes, my Father went running to find out what the trouble was. When he turned
off the road, he spied the neighbor running down the hill from the house. Just as he reached the crossing
of Rushy Branch - which must be forded, he met the man dragging his wife by her long hair right
through the branch and her screaming for dear life. Papa said "Hey, what's going on here?" The
neighbor looked sheepishly and let go her hair. He had had a few drinks and was in a killing mood. The
wife went back to the house and picked up her baby and walked a mile to her Mother's house. In the
meantime, her husband went back to the house and slept off his drunkenness.
After much persuasion, the wife came back home to live a hard fearful life.
On one occasion, the family was lined up against the wall, all around the room. There were five boys by
a previous marriage and two small children by the second. He got out his pistol and started shooting. He
told them they would all be killed. Each time around he would shoot between the heads which was his
intention, not to kill, but to scare.
After many years of drinking and abusing his family, the oldest boy by the second marriage was ten years
old. He had seen his Mother and other members abused. Now was the time to draw. He shot his Father
through the kitchen window, and killed him dead. This ended many tragic episodes.
--Hugh was very abusive to his family. After Talitha died, he married Betsy Fricks and lived at the 'Hugh
Brown House place on Rushie Branch. At this site is a bowl that prisoners made in the rock of the
spring/branch when the area was used as a prison. Hugh Brown was a guard at the prison and when it
closed he moved into the house. One day he played cards in the barn across the branch (probably
sampling the output of the nearby still) and when he returned and was sitting in a chair holding a baby,
two sons came in. One turned on the light (carbide light) and the other by the name of Bunjo shot Hugh
in the back through the chair. The bullet did go through Hugh but the baby was not hurt. After
questioning by several men of the area, Bunjo admitted to this, and spent 2 nights in jail. At the funeral
for Hugh he was told to look at the body but he always said he did not look. Bunjo served no more time
in jail for the deed and he is thought to be still alive in a nursing home today (Jan. 2000).
Note by Jim Winsness: Gertrude Brown had always said her father, Wm. P. Brown felt that Bunjo did
not do the shooting but that Betsy Fricks' brothers did and that Bunjo admitted to the shooting because
they felt he would not get any prison time. However, we located a grandson of Bunjo and asked him for
his opinion. Bunjo's grandson said that Bunjo himself told him that he had killed Hugh thus ending the
speculation.

Mr. J. H. Farmer dies at Age of 71
Mr. Joseph H. Farmer, known to everyone as Uncle Joe, passed away peacefully Friday at his home at
Eastanollee.
Mr. Farmer was one of Stephens County's landmarks, having been born 71 years ago near Currahee
Mountain in the Farmer Section. Possessing a rare talent of making friends, he enjoyed the association
of many friends as most men ever do.
"Uncle Joe" was always quiet and unassuming in his nature, always with a smile he would greet his
friends from far and near. To ever visit his home was a pleasure. When the Federal Government decided
to buy up land in the Currahee District, "Uncle Joe' sold his old home place and bought the John Sheriff
66
farm near Eastanollee. He had lived there 3 years at the time of his passing.
Forty-five years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Emma Brown and to this union four daughters
and three sons, preceding him to his maker several years ago.
"Uncle Joe" had been enjoying the best of health until November of last year. His condition became
critical and he was carried to the Stephens County Hospital for treatment. After everything possible was
done to restore his health, he asked that he be carried back home.
Hundreds of friends from all sections went to his home to visit him and a pall of sorrow swept the county
when the news of his passing went out.
He is survived by his wife, four daughters; Miss Montine of Cornelia, Madeline and Mary Joe of
Eastanollee, Mrs. Marvin Anderson, of Toccoa; two sons, Geo. and Luther Farmer, both in the armed
forces of their country.
Two sisters, Mrs. Will Brown, of Toccoa, and Mrs. Floyd Stephens of Cornelia; four brothers, Messrs. J.
M., Ben, Jake of Toccoa, and George Farmer of Franklin, N.C. also four grandsons.
Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at Liberty Hill Church before a church
filled to its capacity with relatives and friends. Rev. A. T. Cline, Rev. Ben Turner, and Rev. E. S.
Patterson officiating.
The Sisk family sang. Beautiful floral offerings banked the entire front of the church, showing the
esteem in which he was held.
Pall Bearers were; Messrs. Joe Brown, Reed & Johnnie Farmer, Huber, Hansel, and Ernest Farmer.
Interment was in the Toccoa Cemetery.
Many Attend Funeral of Mr. Joe Farmer.
Among those from out-of-town of Mr. Joe Farmer were; Mrs. R. L. Cofer and daughter. Minnie Lou
(Belle) and Mr. Wade Brown of Atlanta; Mr. And Mrs. C. J. Oliver, Misses Mary and Rosie, and Mr.
Henry Loudermilk Cornelia; Mrs. Sara Loudermilk and daughter, Lizzie of Demorest; Mrs. Carl Keener
of Clayton; Mr. & Mrs Nolan Prickett of Carnesville; Mr. & Mrs. Nolan Prickett of Carnesville; Mr. &
Mrs Vernon Fricks and Mr. And Mrs. George Farmer of Franklin N.C.

Fire Destroys Home Here Early Sunday
A two story frame house owned by Russ Stephens and occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Lester Jones was
destroyed by fire of unknown origin early Sunday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were away from home
for the night and when the fire was first seen by J. G. Crumley, a near neighbor, the flames were already
enveloping part of the house. By the time that the fire department arrived, little could be done except to
prevent its spread to other nearby buildings.
Monday morning a fire in the Jim Wilbanks house, near the railroad and across from the Golden House,
was put out with slight damage to the ceiling and walls of one room.

Murder Charged To Two Deputies After Man Dies
As an outgrowth of the fatal shooting Sunday, November 17, of Jerry Hawkins, of Lula, warrants
charging murder were sworn out Monday of this week against Deputies Lee Land and J. C. Smith,
charged with having inflicted the fatal wounds. The warrants were sworn out by Charley Hawkins, a son.
The deputies are under the custody of Sheriff I. L. Lawson and have demanded a commitment hearing,
but it has been postponed pending the outcome of the condition of Charley Hawkins, also wounded in
the altercation.
The shooting occurred at the Hawkins home. Details will be found elsewhere on this page.
One Is Slain In Shooting On Sunday
Jerry Hawkins Dies, Son Charley Shot In Affair With Deputies
Mr. Jerry C. Hawkins, 72, well-known Lula resident, is dead and Charley Hawkins, his son, carries three
gunshot wounds as a result of an alleged altercation Sunday November 17, between them, another son,
Joe Hawkins and Deputy Sheriffs Lee Land and J. C. Smith.
Mr. Hawkins died Monday morning from wounds in his right shoulder and left arm. His son was shot
through the right hip and twice through the right arm. The son, however, was released from the hospital
Tuesday.
The deputies are reported to have suspected the Hawkins car of transporting liquor when it was met some
distance from the Hawkins home. Chased, it was stated, the driver, Joe, drove to the side of the home,
followed closely by the deputies.
There Smith is said to have tried to open the rear door of the sedan, only to find it locked. Mr. Hawkins
83
is alleged to have shoved a pistol into his side, the deputy grabbing the cocked weapon, and the hammer
descending on the fleshy part of his hand, between thumb and forefinger.
Charlie Hawkins is said to have then come from the home with a rifle in hand, to have jerked Smith from
the car, off his feet and onto the ground. At this point a general shooting fracas is alleged to have taken
place, Charley, his father, Land and Smith all participating. As a result, Mr. Hawkins and Charley were
both wounded, it was stated.
Funeral services for Mr. Hawkins were held Tuesday afternoon from Timber Ridge Baptist church. Rev.
R. Q. Leavell, Assisted by Rev. Billy Scales, officiated, and interment was in the churchyard.
Mr. Hawkins is also survived by his wife, Mrs. Ida Hawkins.

18. Isaiah Babel Hulsey, born 04 May 1814 in South Carolina; died Abt. 18 Mar 1859 in Habersham
County, GA. He was the son of 36. Jessie Hulsey and 37. Mary Bagwell. He married 19. 8ancy Kytle Abt.
1836.
19. 8ancy Kytle, born 01 Apr 1818 in South Carolina; died 16 Nov 1889 in Habersham County, GA. She
was the daughter of 38. Zachariah Kytle and 39. Sarah Sally Johnson.
Notes for Isaiah Babel Hulsey:
Buried in Kimbrel Cemetery in the Lake Russell WMA.
From the entrance from Ayersville Road: .5 miles to check in station, 4.3 miles to the left road to Seaborn
Farmer's home, 4.5 miles to Joe Farmer's home site (picnic table, stream under road, stone work over stream!), 4.6
miles to where you walk to the right off the road. Continue walking up hill about 300 feet and find the old road
leading back to the right. Follow it till it about reaches the top - then leave it and to to the top of the ridge to the
left. That might be about 1000 feet up the road. When you get up to the ridge, follow it to the left over the top of
the "mountain" and as it starts back down, the cemetery is along that ridge.
--The home site of Seth Kimbrell is at 5.0 miles along the road in the refuge and the house site is to the left - the
barns to the right. If you go up the hill behind the barns, and bear a bit to the right, you also get to the cemetery
but it is a hard climb.
--The first child of his son Almond was named Francis Asbery Hulsey which must have been for his wife's father,
Francis A. Tabor. Almond and Hester's second child, also a son whom they named Isaiah Babel Hulsey, was
most certainly named for his father.
--Bill Hulsey says this man's name is Isaiah B. Hulsey with brothers Salathiel and Jennings. Their father is Jesse
Hulsey, Sr. born 1759, a Revolutionary War soldier who drew a NC State pension. He is not listed in the DAR
Patriot Index. He is listed on the 1840 Hall County census as age 81 and a Revolutionary pensioner. He died in
1843 in Hall Co., GA. He married #2 Mary Bagwell (born 1780 in SC) on 5 Nov 1820 in Hall Co., GA. Mary's
name given as Baxwell in EARLY GEORGIA MARRIAGES by Maddox, page 117. Jesse is the son of Charles
Hulsey. Need to check Hall Co. Estate Records and marriages. Also 1840 & 1850 census of Hall Co. If Jesse
married Mary in 1820, then she is not the mother of his children. Bill thinks Jesse's first wife may be found in
either Greenville, SC (est. 1798 from Washington Dist) or Macon Co, NC (est 1828, parent co. Haywood, est.
1808; Haywood from Buncombe (1791).

--Nancy consistently gave her birthplace as GA on all the censuses. Jacob Kitle had a daughter under ten in 1820
which would fit Nancy's age, but not her birthplace. Jeremiah Kittle was living in Hall County, GA in 1830 and he
had a daughter age 10-15 which puts her in the age group of Nancy and she could have been born in GA since he
was not in SC in 1820. Nancy is also the right age to be the daughter of Zachariah and Sarah.

--Almond was a private in Co D, 43rd Regt of GA Volunteers. He enlisted March 4, 1862 in Homer, Ga.
for three years or for the war. On a form entitled "For Use of Applicants Who Have not Heretofore
Drawn" Almond applied for a pension from Habersham County, Georgia on 4 June 1889 and the
following statements were made: that he personally appeared...an oath that he...has been a resident of the
state since the twenty fifth day of December 1836 (the 6 is smudged)...served as a private in Company D,
of 43d Regiment of Georgia Volunteers Stovall's Brigade; whilst engaged in such military service in the
State of Tennessee on the 5th day of May 1862 he contracted disease as follows: Typhoid fever at
101
Chattanooga and was removed from there on the 6th day of June 1862 and brought to
Atlanta Ga and exposed to a gale of East wind and rain which caused a relapse of the fever which settled
in right hip and caused a dislocation of the same of 4 inches, and thereby rendering the right leg
substantially and essentially useless. On the same page was a "Commissioned Officer's
Affidavit" Banks County filled out by J. E. Roe, 1st Lieut. Co. D 43 Regt Ga.
Hester A. Hulsey in "WIDOW'S AFFIDAVIT" stated they were married 8 Aug 1856; that he died 16
Aug 1889 in Habersham County, that Almond was on the invalid pension roll of Georgia, having been
allowed a pension of $50.00 per annum...For disease caused by exposure in the army. It was some form
of Rheumatism drawing his hip & thigh so that he had to walk bent over at right angles. The stooping
position in which he had to walk, always kept him complaining of severe head ache, which finally caused
his death, by, what the Doctors called progressive apoplexy. I know that the same headache which he
always complained of after walking was the direct cause of his death. She has resided in Georgia
continuously since 13 Mch 1838. Done 12 Feb 1896. She made her mark.
Almond died at home (Confederate War Record) and is buried in Mt. Pleasant Church Cemetery. Hand
copied and also have photos of the family tombstones.
The following is taken from a letter from Barbara Brown dated 4 Mar. 1980: "In reading "Habersham
Co. Ga, Minute Book No. 7, Will Records 1885-1905, SLC film #49035 Part 3" I found that Francis A.
Hulsey was the Adm. of Estate of Almond Hulsey. Oath taken by Francis A. Hulsey 7 Oct. 1889.
Same date - he made application to sell the personal property belonging to the said Estate. Land sold in
order to pay debts: 208 acres; 125 acres; 250 acres in the district of said county (Habersham). This Nov.
4th, 1889.
Dated Oct. 6, 1890. "The case of John Watkins, Jr. and W. M. Edmonds, Sureties, vs. Francis A. Hulsey,
admin. of Almond Hulsey, deceased, called and the Court being satisfied that the said Francis A. Hulsey
had lately died in the State of Arkansas, the Rule ? ???? was dismissed for the reason that the said
Hulsey was dead before the rule was issued. It is therefore ordered that said Rule ? ???? be dismissed at
the plaintiff's cost this Oct. 6, 1890.
B. E. Edge
Ordinary "
Oath - 3 Nov. 1890. "I, John Watkin's, Jr. do solemnly swear that Almond Hulsey died intestate so far as
I know or believe and that I will well and truly administer on all the estate of Almond Hulsey deceased
not heretofore administered on and discharge to the best of my ability all my duties as administrator De
Bonis Non on the estate of said deceased." Sworn to 3 Nov 1890.
So from this, Francis A. Hulsey died sometime between 7 Oct 1889 and 6 Oct 1890 in Arkansas."
Georgia, Banks County -- Personally appears Dr. Thos Hayden who being duly sworn, says on oath that
he was Almon Hulsey's family physician for fifteen years previous to his death. His right hip and knee
joints were anchylosed perfectly stiff, the knee being drawn up to right angles. He walked with great
difficulty and on crutches with his leg in a sling for many years after his return home from the army. He
was also badly diseased; was a constant sufferer from nervous troubles and frequent headaches of a
severe character. His constitution had evidently been wrecked from exposure and disease contracted
while in service. He always stated to me that was the cause of his troubles. His health continued to fail,
and he grew worse from the time I knew him until his last illness, when he complained of pain in his
head and other general symptoms of prostration, which ended his life on the 16th day of August 1889,
being 52 years of age at the time. I have no doubt but that he died from the same disease that he
contracted while in service, together with its sequillae. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 1st day
of April 1893. Signed by Thos. Hayden, M.D. and witnessed by T. F. Hill, Ordinary Banks Co.
The following are copies of letters sent to Pat Brown 11 Jan 1968 from Mr. John P. Hulsey of Edmond,
OK:
Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 25, 1932
Mr. J. P. Hulsey:
Dear Sir:
Your card arrived several days ago. Being out of town I did not get it until this week. My father, I.
B. Hulsey, was born near Gainesville, Ga. My grandfather's name was Almond Hulsey. Father had an
uncle named Len Hulsey. Should you be further interested I'll be glad to look it up for you.
Yours truly
C. A. Hulsey - 922 Federal St.
Mr. Hulsey said Since this man did not seem to be in my line I never answered this letter until Jan. 19,
1960. I got no answer. He was probably dead by then. My letter was sent to a C. Almon Hulsey (name
taken from a directory) at 1229 Mississippi Ave., Chattanooga.
102
The other letter I have is a copy of one written to a cousin of mine, E. C. Hulsey. It is dated Mar. 26,
1948, and reads:
Dear Sir:
Seeing your name on page 102 of GRACE AND GLORY by the Hartford Music Co. I decided to write
you. Well, I'm a son of Almond Hulsey, was raised in Habersham County, Ga. I am now nearing my
84th year in this old world. I'd love to get a letter from you as I had a brother out there somewhere. His
name was Francis Asbery Hulsey, the oldest one of us children. He was about 7 years older than I am.
All the boys are dead but me. Soon I'll be gone.
With love to all
J. J. Hulsey
139 2nd Avenue N. W., Atlanta, Ga.
Mr. E. C. Hulsey was living in Wetumka, Okla., when he received this letter.

those that remember that when Jake became ill, never to leave his room again, he had is room (16x16) papered
with $100.00 Confederate bills. For years he had kept this old paper money stuffed in a tin trunk, but he realized
he would never live to see this paper turned into gold again. He wanted to spend his last days surrounded by
luxury in the luxury that might have been. His youngest child, Annie, spoke of her father as being very tall and
legend says about 7' and that he had a long beard. Jacob was 76 when she was born and died when she was 9

Thomas A Loudermilk Dead
Mr. Thomas A. Loudermilk, a prominent citizen of Habersham county, died at his home three miles
North of Mt. Airy, last Sunday night, age about 72 years. Death was caused by an accident he received
several months ago at his mill, when one of his feet was so badley crushed that it had to be amputated.
Mr. Loudermilk was a veteran of the Civil war, and stood high in the esteem of his neighbors. He is
survived by his wife, one daughter and three sons.
--The Loudermilk Mill
The Loudermilk Mill was first owned by T. A. Loudermilk and then, after his death, sold to Mr. Homer
Ansley. It is now owned by Mr. Pierce Short, Sr. who bought the mill and property surrounding it in
March 1948.
The mill was operated entirely by water, furnished by Hazel Creek, and provided flour, grits, cornmeal
and whole wheat flour for the citizens of Habersham County and surrounding area. They came on mules,
horse teams and wagons down dusty roads to have their grain ground.
The mill stones, used to grind the grain, measured 48 inches in diameter. The stones contained Flint and
could grind meal course or fine. The first wheel was made of wood. In the 1920's it was replaced with
one made of metal shipped from Hanover, Pennsylvania. The wheel measured 3 feet by seventeen feet.
It took approximately 5 or 6 minutes to grind a bushel of corn. The miller took a toll for grinding the
corn. He provided a sheller to shell the corn, prior to grinding it.
The mill site was a gathering place for people as they waited their turn. Picnics were held there by the
water. The water at the mill pond provided a place where the local churches could have their baptismal
services.
The mill ceased operation in 1974.

Charles Washington Landers
By Fairy Landers Sheriff
Charles Washington Landers, the oldest son of M. M. Landers and Martha Akin Landers, is my
Grandfather. My father, Merida Winfield Landers Sr., was one year and one day old when my
Grandfather died. He often told me things about his father that were told to him by his mother.
My Grandmother, Louisiana Jones Landers, said that my Grandfather was a tall lean man, hard working,
honest, truthful, and devoted to his large family. He was a devout Christian taking an active part in
church work and making certain his children attended church services.
My Grandparents home was a large two story home built on approximately six hundred acres of land
located near a small town called Mt. Airy, GA. The house was built near a small stream surrounded by
large heavenly trees. Today heavenly trees still grow in the area where the house stood.
My Grandmother told me that Grandfather used the stream for his work as a shoemaker and for a
tannery. She said he was very good at it. He also farmed the land and owned a large sawmill that he
operated on his land. He became ill with measles, but seemed to be getting well, when he decided he had
to see how the men were doing at the sawmill. He insisted on going to it. Nothing could stop him.
Grandmother wrapped a quilt around him because the weather was cold. When he returned, he was
having a chill. He became very ill. Grandfather realized that he might not live, so he tried to advise the
family of what to do. He told them he had buried a sum of money near a large heavenly tree. He was so
sick he could not speak clearly. Grandmother said he tried so hard to make her understand where it was.
She could not because of so many trees.
Grandmother buried him a very short distance from their home along side an infant. Today the cemetery
is known as The Landers Family Cemetery, and the family still bury their dead there today.
Landers Cemetery
By Marlene Adams Briggs
The Landers Cemetery is the burial ground for the Charles Washington Landers family. It is located just
off Highway 197 between Clarkesville, Mt. Airy, and Cornelia Ga. The Cemetery is on land originally
owned by Charles Washington Landers. He owned many acres, and operated a tannery on this land. He
made shoes for the soldiers during the Civil War.
A diagram is lald off for the home place and deed recorded by the Ordinary of Habersham Co. Ga. A will
was left to his wife December 30,
1875.
A housing subdivision is on the land now, the cemetery being nestled right in the middle with a fence
surrounding what’s left of the family land. A nice entrance to the subdivision is off Highway 197.
Charles Washington Landers died very young at the age of 37. He was the first child of Merida M.
Landers and Mary A. Martha Akin. Merida’s second wife was Sarah E. Smith. There were eleven
children in this family (Possibly 12).
114
Charles Washington Landers was the father of Elmo Washington Landers (my grandfather), Merida
Winfield Landers, and other brothers and sisters. Many are laid to rest here, including the grandchildren
in laws, great grand children, etc. Sanford Landers and his family have been caretakers. Not too long
ago, Winfleld and Roland Landers died. They had been caretakers for years. I do not know who the
caretakers are at present, but it is well kept, located among tall pines. Beautiful head stones are placed at
each grave. It is a very beautiful and peaceful plot, and continues to be used. Please visit this hallowed
ground.
I (Marlene Adams Briggs) a great, great granddaughter of Merida
M. Landers, live a short distance away in Cornelia, Ga. I have the plot of the home place and deed.

Two headstones were dedicated last month by Habersham Chapter 1237, United Daughters of the
Confederacy, at the grave of Pvt. William Cannon Loudermilk and in memory of Pvt. David Washington
Loudermilk at the Loudermilk Family Cemetery in Cornelia.
William Cannon Loudermilk, born December 16, 1834 in Habersham County was the first born son of
Jacob Loudermilk and Mary A. "Polly" Loudermilk. William Cannon, nicknamed "Can" married
Matilda Ann Landers, (daughter of Meredith Milton Landers, Sr. and Mary Ann Martha Akin) on April

By the time the War Between the States started, William Cannon and Matilda had three children,
William Washington, Martha Ann Rebecca, and John Henry. On July 1, 1862 at the age of 27, William
Cannon enlisted in Company C, Phillips' Georgia Legion. While in service he was admitted to General
Hospital in Charlottesville, Virginia, complaining of rheumatism in his shoulder. He was sent to the
hospital in Lynchburg, Virginia on November 29, 1862, then released and sent back to duty.
William Cannon fought in some of the most prominent battles: Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville,
Wilderness, Spottysylvania and Gettysburg, to name a few. During the battle at Cold Harbor, Virginia,
he was captured by Union forces on July 3, 1864 and spent one year in the Elmira Prison in New York.
He was released on July 11, 1865 after taking the Oath of Allegiance to the United States.
He returned to his wife and family in Habersham County and over the next 16 years they had nine more
children: Thomas Asbury, Robert Lee, Sarah Jane, Eli Denson, James Hampton, Leonard Cranford,
Mary Lela, Charles Lester, and Owen Meredith.
William Cannon died on December 1, 1910 at the age of 76. The funeral was conducted at his home on
Chase Road. The funeral procession followed by his coffin, carried by horse and wagon, to the family
cemetery and he was laid to rest.
His wife Matilda, born October 29, 1837, died less than two years later on September 23, 1913. (From

Jesse Cash raised beef cattle. When a herd was ready for sale, it was driven to market in Commerce,
Georgia. His family got up before daylight to slaughter and dress a cow. Jesse Cash's two early teen-aged
sons, Albert and William, held the lighted pine knot while the cow was being dressed. Knowing that tar
would drop on their hands and burn them if the knot were not held at the right angle, kept them awake.
The fresh dressed meat was then delivered by wagon to homes and hotels.

Robert Brown received more than 1000 acres of land for his services in the Revolution. (Taken from Historical
Collections of Georgia, DAR, page 218.) Headright plus 3 of his family. 3 draws: 400 acres, 450 acres, and 200
acres, for a total of 1,050acres. - - THE COMMUNITY BEHIND CURRAHEE
The 17,000 acres which is now the Lake Russell Wildlife Management Area was originally inhabited by Native
Americans, the Cherokee. After the forced removal of the Cherokee, the land was settled by immigrants primarily
from Germany, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland in the early 1800’s. Immigrant family names include Ayers, Brown,
Cash, Colston, Dean, Edmonds, Farmer, Fricks, Kelley, Kimbrell, Lathan, Naves, Norton, Payne, Pless,
Reynolds, Savage, Simmons, Stephens, Thomason, Umberhant, and Westphal.
These families made up a self-sufficient community. The residents employed selective cutting of timber for their
building and farming needs, so that the land retained its natural beauty and bounty. In those days, the air and
water were pure and clean. The people traveled the dirt roads by wagon on their way to the area saw mills,
general stores, corn mills, shingle mills, syrup mills, blacksmith shops, the cotton gin, Mountain Grove Baptist
Church or the country store which housed the Leatherwood Post Office and School.
Residents went to town for a few necessities such as flour, salt, sugar, coffee beans, and baking soda. The
majority of residents were small farmers, and thy supplied the rest. The largest farm was owned by William
Preston Brown; it encompassed 1,000 acres. Brown’s great-grandfather, Robert Brown, immigrated from Ireland
to the United States in the late 1700’s. Brown mainly used his land for the cultivation f corn but also grew
peanuts, okra, tomatoes, sweet and Irish potatoes, syrup cane, and cotton. Brown also had apple, fig, peach, and
pear orchards and kept bees for candle making and honey. In addition, whiskey making was another favorite
enterprise of the community; it was sold and used for medicinal purposes when mixed with local herbs. In the
early years, sheep, hogs, and chickens were raised to provide meat.
Even though most Native Americans had already been forced away from the area, William Brown remembered
when he was a small boy that a family of hungry, tired Indians came by the "old Place," the name fondly given to
the area by the families who once lived there. Brown recalled that he was afraid of them but his mother was not
and fed them.
In the early 1930’s, the United States Government wanted the land for construction of a dam, a wildlife
management area, a potential military base and/or for timber cutting. The owners were told they would be given
$5.00 an acre and they could cut the timber if they cooperated in moving from the area. If they did not cooperate,
the land would be condemned and taken for $3.00 an acre without being allowed to cut the timber. The families
chose the former alternative.
The families relocated themselves to surrounding counties and cities. The Randol Brown family was the last to
leave the area on January 1, 1941. In order to encourage Randol Brown, nephew of William Brown, to move he
136
was told that others had already sold their land and that he and his family would be endangered by the potential
military firing range in the area. Finally, all of the families left with a promise by the Government that their
cemeteries would be taken care of.
During World War II, the area was used for paratrooper training. Currently, this land is used as the Lake Russell
Wildlife Management Area and for timber cutting. The cemeteries are kept up by the families however.
The community behind Currahee Mountain has never been "lost" to those who lived there. It is still an historic
and pre-historic special place. Their hope is that it can be restored to its original beauty.

--Battle Information:
Battle of Stony Point:
After his victory over the British at Yorktown, Washington established his headquarters at Newburgh where he
could keep a watchful eye on the English forces in New York. He hastened to remind his command that peace
was not a foregone conclusion and military readiness must be maintained. Washington also continued his efforts
to improve the condition of his troops and insure a high state of morale. One of the ways he decided to
accomplish the latter was to create, on 7 August 1782, a "Badge of Military Merit" for enlisted men who had
performed bravely in combat.
Two men selected by a board of officers to receive this award were Sergeant Elijah Churchill of the 2nd
Continental Light Dragoons and Sergeant William Brown, a member of the 5th Connecticut Regiment,
Continental Line. Brown, a veteran of 18, had won praise for his bravery in the storming of Stony Point in 1779
and now was cited for gallantry in the trenches before Yorktown. Churchill had distinguished himself during
attacks against two forts on Long Island.
On 3 May 1783, these men left the Continental Cantonment at New Windsor and reported to the nearby
headquarters of Washington at the Hasbrouck House in Newburgh. There, before a guard mount of the 1st New
York, the Commander-in-Chief awarded Sergeant Churchill (pictured on the right) and Sergeant Brown their
badges. Surviving records for the period confirm the presentation of only one other Badge of Military Merit, and
the decoration was not used at all after the end of the Revolutionary War. It was revived in February 1932 as the
Purple Heart out of respect to Washington's memory and to his military achievements.
The ceremony, however, symbolized much more than recognition of two brave men. It represented the climax of
the molding of a citizen army of volunteers and militia into a force that had fought on equal terms with one of the
world's best armies, and in doing so, had played a vital role securing freedom and independence for themselves
and their fellow citizen
Battle of Monmouth
138
During the Winter of 1778, Washington s troops had suffered a number of defeats in the field, due in part to
superior British tactics. The colonists retreated to camp in Valley Forge, cold and barefoot and sick. Morale was
low--the problem was poor organization and not enough horses and wagons to bring supplies to camp. However,
General Friedrich Von Steuben volunteered to train the troops. Von Steuben posed as a baron and former
lieutenant general in the army of King Frederich of Prussia, but was in fact only a captain and not a noble. Yet he
was an excellent soldier.
Von Steuben taught Washington's troops how to maneuver in the field and how to use bayonets properly. He was
very strict with the Americans and knew little English, and drilled the soldiers for hours cursing at them. But the
Americans appreciated his devotion, and he taught them well.
In May 1778, while the British General Clinton's troops were marching across New Jersey, Washinton attacked.
His victory at the Battle of Monmouth Court House was a small one, but it gave a boost to American morale, as
they applied their lessons learned at Valley Forge from Von Steube

It was dated November, 1878 (recorded December 1887). It basically says that for the sum of five
dollars and natural love and affection that he has for his grandson, Calvin W. Blackburn, he gave,
granted, sold and conveyed to Francis L. Blackburn as trustee for the sole and separate use "of my
aforesaid grand son". The land was on Middle River joining the lands of Philip Martin, F. W. Martin, A.
D. Hooper and Widow Crump, and W. J. Ragsdale, and contained 66 acres more or less. The deed was
subject to the condition that the land along with personal property described as one Bay Mare and Colt,
one Sorrel Filly, and the entire stock of Hogs, Cattle, Sheep and tools of all description and all evidence
of indebtedness, also the entire household and kitchen furniture and all of the current years crop, was
subject to the following: that all of the land as well as the personal property remain in the possession of
James Brown Senior, during his natural life and if his wife Margaret Brown should be the longest lived,
then she was to have the full benefit and the consideration (as outlined) during her natural life.
If you will recall, the 1880 Banks Co. census, Calvin age 21 was listed as a farmer, unmarried, with his
mother, Francis age 61, and grandmother Margaret age 88, living with him. Apparently, his grandfather
James had died prior to the census.
We believe this James Brown with wife Margaret and daughter, Francis to be the son of Robert. I now
know that there was another James Brown who was a preacher and he was the son of a Benjamin Brown
who was also a preacher. I now believe the Zemily Bramblett Brown (who married David Hensley
Payne) was the daughter of that James Brown.

Notes for Thomas Ausburn:
Directions to Ausburn Family Cemetery: Turn on the first dirt road on the right as you pass the Old
Union Baptist Church Cemetery. Drive out past a double wide mobile home through a pasture. There is a
road that exits the pasture and goes down through the woods, downhill sharply about 1/4 mile. Cemetery
is at the bottom of the hill. It is in very good shape.
Thomas Ausburn was elected,
March 07, 1859 as the first Tax Collector of Banks County Georgia
In 1859 when
Banks County was formed, Thomas Ausburn was elected the first Tax Commissioner for the county.

Thomas Ausburn
Thomas Ausburn was born in South Carolina about 1804 and died February 1888 in Banks County,
144
Georgia. Thomas married Virginia "Jennie" Jane Brown in Franklin County, Georgia, daughter of
Revolution War Soldier, Robert Brown and his wife, Jane. They are buried at the Ausburn Family
Cemetery, Banks County, Georgia.
Thomas was elected the first Tax Collector for Banks County, Georgia when it was first formed in 1859.
There are no other indications that he was involved in other political activities after that. We estimate
that he went to Habersham County, Georgia, from South Carolina, Between 1800 - 1827.

GA. He was the son of 68. Benjamin Caudell, Sr. and 69. Sarah (Sally) Humphrey. He married 35. Frances
(Fanny) Abt. 1806 in North Carolina.
35. Frances (Fanny), born 10 Mar 1790 in North Carolina; died 12 Sep 1873 in Banks County, GA.
Notes for Benjamin Caudell, Jr.:
The last name Caudell was also spelled Caudle in many records.
Provided by Eula Mae Caudell May 1995:
"Born in North Carolina about 1789.
Earliest record of Benjamin in Banks Counts is his deed of 400 acres on Nails Creek to Michael Ragsdale on
December 5, 1823. He then lived on Webbs Creek apparently placing him somewhere around the Manley
Caudell place. The land that was sold, Ragsdale built a Mill. The Ragsdale Mill is still standing. A very beautiful
Mill.
The district was called "Captain Caudle's District - undoubtedly Benjamin was Captain Caudle. He was Militia
Captain of the 284th district establishing him as one of the most respected citizens, and probably one of the
146
earlier settlers of the community.
In the 1830 and 1840 censuses, six sons and three daughters are listed for Benjamin Caudle. Names are not given
but being supplied with nine farm hands he was a prosperous farmer. In 1860 with all nine children married off,
Benjamin reported 8 slaves. This was more than the average of 3.29 slaves per household average.
Three and perhaps four of his sons served in the Civil War. B F Caudell, James H. Caudell, Stephen D Caudell,
and William M. Caudell are named on the roster for Company D 43rd Regt.
Benjamin seems to have died within a matter of months after the war ended. On Oct 7, 1865 an appraisal of the
estate of Benjamin Caudell was submitted to the Banks County Court of Ordinary by James H. Caudell,
Administrator. Certain items were purchased by Frances Caudell so his wife survived him.
In order to receive a $50 bonus in Good Confederate Money, many volunteered before March 4 1861 William P.
Brown, the County Tax Collector, and Michael Jackson Ragsdale, County Surveyor, organized a company of
men. Brown was elected Captain, John E Roe First Lieutenant, and Ragsdale Second Lieutenant. Roe was 27,
boarding with Hiram Cash in the 1860 census and was a school teacher. They succeeded in getting about 95 men
to meet and train for war on a field beside Middle River behind Leatherwood Church. Proudly calling themselves
the Middle River Volunteers, they were activated on March 4, 1862 as Co. D, 43rd Regt. Georgia Volunteer
Infantry, CSA.
The 4 Caudell boys were with them as they marched to Athens and took a train for Chattanooga where a
Confederate Camp was located beside the Tennessee River. General Braxton Bragg took command of the camp
of 30,000 men and made plans to move north to liberate Kentucky. Before he could get moving, 21 of the Middle
River Volunteers died of disease at Chattanooga. Among them was Capt. William P. Brown.
The force was driven back into Tennessee with 6 of the Banks County boys dying in October and November
1862. In November or December 1862 the 43rd was assigned to Gen John Pembertons army at Vicksburg
Mississippi to help prevent General Ulysses S. Grant from getting control of the Mississippi. On May 16, 1863,
the Middle River Volunteers were reduced by 11. Of the 11 was James H. Caudell who's right ankle was shattered
by a bullet and a lone Yankee soldier found him bleeding to death. The Yankee stopped the bleeding . The
wound healed but was listed as a disability in May 1863. After the skirmish of May 16,1863, Benjamin P.
Caudell reported to the hospital in Vicksburg with either wounds or disease. The pension application of his
widow states he died in a Vicksburg hospital June 1863.
Of the 4 Caudell boys only William M was now left with the volunteers. He retreated back to Vicksburg and they
held out till July 4 when they had to surrender to General Grant for lack of food. Grant couldn't feed them so they
signed they would not take up arms again against the United States and were on their way home.
They were reactivated on February 29, 1864 but many were listed as away without leave. Of the 129 men who
were enlisted with the Middle River Volunteers at one time or another, 16 have it on their records that they
surrendered at Greensboro NC on April 26, 1865. "
--John Caudell moved to Georgia between 1810 and 1820 around the time Benjamin (b.1788) and Fannie Caudell
did. Some feel John and Ben were brothers, but at any rate, they are certainly cousins, if not brothers. They lived
close witnessed each other's land transactions and their children intermingled.
Children of Benjamin Caudell and Frances (Fanny) are:
i.
Sarah Jane Caudell, born 26 Mar 1807 in North Carolina; died 10 Jan 1871 in Banks County, GA;
married John B. Murray Abt. 1827 in Franklin County GA; born 09 Nov 1803 in North Carolina; died
24 Sep 1885 in Banks County, GA.

Notes for Benjamin Hudson Watson:
1861 - Benjamin Hudson Watson served in the 1st Regiment of the Georgia State Line, Company "G",
known as the "Chattahoochee Rangers".
The Georgia State Line was a unique army. It was raised by the governor of Georgia, Joseph Brown, on
152
the framework of the already established railroad bridge guard. Governor Brown realized a need for the
railroad guard after Andrews Raid on the Western and Atlantic Railroad. Andrews raid resulted in what
is known as "The Great Locomotive Chase".
The Georgia State Line, unlike the Militia and Reserves, was a full time army unit. It was not unlike the
Provisional Army of the Confederacy in that respect. However, the State Line was under the direct
command of Governor Joseph Brown.
Soldiers in the Georgia State Line served almost entirely within the state of Georgia. They were
garrisoned at Savannah, guarded Georgia's Railroads, and joined the Army of Tennessee to fight the
battles in Northern Georgia.
Benjamin Hudson, served for about twenty-two months, until Lee surrendered and the war ended on
April 9, 1865.
Governor Brown makes his appeal to the remaining men in Georgia to take up arms to protect
themselves, their homes and families against the invading Yankee army. This call underscores the
desperate situation facing the people of Georgia.
Confederate Correspondence, Orders, And Returns Relating To Operations In Southwestern Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, West Florida, And Northern Georgia.--#27 Headquarters
Georgia Militia, Atlanta, Ga., May 28, 1864.
To the People of Georgia:
Your State is invaded and a portion of its most valuable territory overrun by a vindictive enemy of great
strength, who is laying waste and devastating the country behind him. Unless this force is checked
speedily, the property and homes of thousands must be destroyed, and they driven out as wanderers in
destitution and beggary. Our noble army needs further re-enforcements until the emergency has passed. I
have summoned the civil and military officers of the State to arms, and they are promptly and nobly
responding. If any of those who are subject to militia duty are remaining at home, who are able to do
service, I desire the old men to report the facts to me immediately, that courts-martial may be ordered, or
other proper steps taken to compel them to do their duty, or suffer the penalties. When all the officers
shall have responded, more men will still be needed. I do not order out the reserve militia except at the
most exposed points, because some must be left at home to make bread; and the old men from fifty to
sixty and the boys under seventeen, are not able, as a general rule, to endure hard service in the military
field. But I do call upon all who are able for service, and can possibly be spared from home, to hasten to
the field till the great battle is fought. Many have Confederate contracts, details, and exemptions, who are
stout and able to do military duty, and can go to the field for a time without serious detriment to the
public interest. All such, with all others able for duty, are earnestly requested to fly to arms as the State
officers have done. Let each report to General Wayne, at Atlanta, and bring with him a bed quilt or
blanket and rations to last him to camp, and a good double-barreled shotgun if he has one. If not, he can
be armed by the Government. Georgians, we are now in the crisis of our fate. The destiny of our posterity
for ages to come may hang upon the results of the next few days. He who remains at his home now will
soon occupy it as a slave, or be driven from it. Rally to the rescue, and till the danger is past let the
watchword of every patriot be, "To arms, and to the front;" and the vandal hordes will soon be driven
back.

Mr. David Caudell
Front page:
Mr. David Caudell died at his home in this county last Saturday morning and his remains were interred
in the family burying ground on Saturday. Mr. Caudell was one of Banks old landmarks, being 88 years
of age. He leaves a wife and many children who have our deepest sympathy in this sad hour.
Inside page:
On last Saturday morning just as the sun in all his splendor dawned, the Angel of Death visited the home
of Uncle David Caudell and claimed his own. Uncle David was in his 88th year and indeed a father in
Israel has passed away. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. M. Barrett Sunday evening, and
the remains were interred in the family burying ground near his home. A large crowd of relatives and
friends were present to pay the last tribute of respect to one whom we all loved. Mr. Caudell leaves a
large family of children and an aged wife to mourn her loss. Weep not, for he has gone to that beautiful
land where we can meet and no more take the parting hand. There to dwell in peace and joy and love. In
that home so far above where no more parting, no more tears, can come throughout the endless years.
*Based on the obituary being on 2/13/1908, and a 1908 calendar, the previous Saturday would have been
2/8/1908 - that is the presumed death date.

1825 in Franklin County, GA; died Aft. 1870 in In Banks County, GA Census.
Notes for Benjamin Franklin Caudell:
Benjamin F. Caudell 1825 - June 1863 was a brother to James H. Caudell, David, Stephen D. and John
P.
James H., Benjamin, and Stephen were all in the Confederate Army along with three Brady brothers,
Alvin Dean, Benjamin F., and Lewis , also Wellborn Caudell and possibly others related to them.
Benjamin Caudell died in a hospital in Vicksburg, Mississippi, and for some reason, had no will. His
estate was appraised by his brother James H., who also administered his will and made provision for his
widow, family, and a Negro family living on the plantation.
Stephen D. also died in 1862 or 1863, probably from a disease that swept through the Regiment while in
Tennessee killing at least twenty one soldiers, including Benjamin F. Brady (18) and Capt. William P.
Brown.
Joined CSA 3/4/1862
At the Battle of Champion Hill Mississippi in May of 1863, James H. Caudell was wounded in the right
ankle, saved from bleeding to death by a sympathetic Yankee soldier and then returned to his home in
Middle River GA.
Although only in his mid 30’s, Benjamin owned 353 acres or more of land on Webbs Creek where he
made his home. He also owned a large Negro family of 11. Benjamin’s land was sold to A. J. West for
$615.00 and then West sold it back to James Caudell that same day.
156
Two years and five months after Benjamin died at the time of the appraisal of his estate, there was every
evidence that the farm was kept going full steam by his widow, Margaret Bradley Caudell, the Negro
family, and by the six Caudell children, Frances 19, Sarah 18, Margaret J. 13, Harriet 10, Asa 7, Nancy
5, and Cemmia. Part of the inventory included: four barrels of corn, five bushels of wheat, one-half acre
of sweet potatoes now growing, four fattening hogs, ten gallons of syrup, dried fruit, a cow and calf,
leather, seed cotton, wool, plows and tools, poultry, all kinds of the usual household goods and furniture,
saddles, bridles, churns, crocks, meat sacks, trunks, beds, Irish potatoes, oats, steers for slaughter, salt,
1000 bundles of fodder, a coffee mill, and many other items.
Perhaps the most impressive item in the inventory was a book case filled with books for the family. They
must have had a loving home where the children read books and learned also about home making,
cooking, sewing, spinning, weaving, leather work, canning and preserving of foods, gardening, and all
the things that were rewarding in life on the farm.
(From a descendant from Bemjamin Franklin Caudell Line.)

Notes for John W. Kytle:
John Kytle was the first pastor and charter member of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church established in 1850.
Also he was the first pastor of Carnes Creek Baptist Church serving 1875-1875, 1880-1881, and 18951899.
According to first cousin John Collins, when the congregation at Mt. Pleasant offered Grandpa John
Kytle home-grown food, he told them to give it to widow woman, Mrs. Massey.
Another time the ladies of the church gave him a quilt top and he told them to take it back home and
quilt it, that it was not any good to him until it was quilted.
Charles Loudermilk, who lived on the Loudermilk Road, remarked once while taking a break under the
Sycamore tree in Ayersville, that if John Kytle was preaching there would not be any lukeworm church that he would have the ladies throwing their bonnets around.
Rev. John Kytle bought the first sewing machine in the Ayersville area for his wife, Mary Ann Bentley.
During the Civil War, when he tried to enlist, he was sent back home to take care of the women and
children. Submitted by Grace O. Kytle, Rt. 4 Ayersville Rd. Toccoa, GA

Buried on a hill not far from Broad River Baptist Church.
Broad River Baptist Church is next to the Broad River going east on Hwy 104 from 441. Bear right past
the church and about a quarter of mile (?) there is a "Y" in the road. The house of Lit and Elvira was
located just to the right at that "Y" on the knoll. To get to her grave, go left up the hill - as she did to
feed the pigs up on the hill. There is a gate on the road and you can walk up about 300 feet and the road
bears a little to the right and her grave can be seen on the right just after the bend. She wanted to be
buried there as she had asthma and she said she could breath up there. The view is beautiful - she could
look down to the farm and house and the breeze was great. She also said that when her husband went to
feed the pigs he would have to pass her grave and would never want to remarry.

Notes for Pollard Brown:
Pollard Brown must have been a very special man. He had a brother, Robert, who's grandson was named
Benjamin Pollard Brown. Not many brothers descendents have that kind of respect for a grand uncle!
But he died in 1858 about 13 years after his wife Margaret died and 18 years after his brother Robert
died.
His obituary in the Abbeville Banner brought tears to my wife when she first found it:
From the book "Marriage and Death Notices from The Abbeville Banner 1846 - 1860." A small typed
document in the Greenville SC library identified as GEN 929.3757SC ABBE
Departed this life on Thursday, 11th inst., at the
Poor House, MR. POLLARD BROWN, the last Revolutionary
Soldier in Abbeville District.
How sad to think a soldier brave,
Who fought his country's battle long,
Should die and fill a pauper's grave"Unwept, unhonored, and unsung."
Had he been rich what great display;
How many tears of sorrow shed.
But few did wipe his tears away,
And none to cheer his dying bed.
Soldier, farewell! rest, rest in peace;
Your deeds of valor are forgot.
But there's an hour when sorrows cease,
Though pain and suffering were here thy lot.

County Virginia, residence of Abbeville County, SC in 1832 and 1855 (in Georgia between these dates)
Pollard Brown a resident of Abbeville District in South Carolina age 69, states he entered service at the
age of 17 or 18, as a drafted militiaman from Culpepper Co, VA, First of January 1781, under Capt. Robt
Pollard and Lt. Wm. Gaines, to serve 3 months, and they were marched to different places along the sea
coast in Va., and he with the rest of the drafted militia were verbally discharged.. That he entered again
from Culpepper Co. Va., July 1781 under Capt. Oad Slaughter for another term of 3 months, and was
discharged about 10 days previous to the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown VA.
In 1833, an amended Declaration was filed by Pollard Brown, and states he has no record of his age, that
his father’s bible in which his age was recorded was misplaced at his father’s death,. That his
recollection of his age is derived from his service in the Revolutionary War. Being as he supposes 17 or
18 when he first entered. The names of persons who know him in 1833 are James Williams, Jordan
Ramey, Daniel Weed, John Armstrong, Dr. F. Livingston and Christian Barns, and who testify as to his
character.
Affidavit of Robert Brown, a resident of Habersham County, Georgia who made his deposition in
Abbeville District, South Carolina states that "My Brother Pollard Brown now living in District of
Abbeville, SC was a drafted militia during the three months in the revolutionary war under Capt. Robert
Pollard of the state troops on militia of Culpepper Co. VA. That Wm. Gaines was Lieut. In the said
company but does not recollect the names of the other company officers, but does know his brother’s
declaration is substantially true from the fact that this deponent served part of the three months tour of
service, as aforesaid in the said company as a substitute for John Gully who was drafted to serve the said
term of 3 months in said Capt. Robert Pollard’s Company and that he served for said John Cully his full
term and was dismissed with his brother Pollard Brown and the rest of the company at the expiration of
the said 3 months. This deponent states his brother Pollard Brown served another 3 months in
Culpepper (militia) VA, under Capt Oad Slaughter, as has stated in his declaration, as he saw his brother
in the said company marched from Culpepper County and saw him return with the said company at the
expiration of the term of service of 3 months. Signed by Robert Brown, 10-5-1832.
In a letter from Pollard Brown, 1852 Nov 5, Abbeville Dist. S.C. States he received pension certificate
June 28, 1833, of $20 annually.
States "I moved to Georgia, prior to 1847 and was transferred to the Savannah Agency and received
pension there up to March 185?.
That he has now re-moved back to South Carolina and desired to have his pension payable at Charleston.
That he is very old, and it is almost impossible for him to get his pension from Savannah.

age of 17 or 18, as a drafted militiaman from Culpepper Co, VA, First of January 1781, under Capt. Robt
Pollard and Lt. Wm. Gaines, to serve 3 months, and they were marched to different places along the sea
coast in Va., and he with the rest of the drafted militia were verbally discharged.. That he entered again
from Culpepper Co. Va., July 1781 under Capt. Oad Slaughter for another term of 3 months, and was
discharged about 10 days previous to the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown VA.
Affidavit of Robert Brown, a resident of Habersham County, Georgia who made his deposition in
Abbeville District, South Carolina states that "My Brother Pollard Brown now living in District of
Abbeville, SC was a drafted militia during the three months in the revolutionary war under Capt. Robert
Pollard of the state troops on militia of Culpepper Co. VA. That Wm. Gaines was lieutenant in the said
company but does not recollect the names of the other company officers, but does know his brother's
declaration is substantially true from the fact that this deponent served part of the three months tour of
service, as aforesaid in the said company as a substitute for John Gully who was drafted to serve the said
term of 3 months in said Capt. Robert Pollard's Company and that he served for said John Cully his full
term and was dismissed with his brother Pollard Brown and the rest of the company at the expiration of
the said 3 months. This deponent states his brother Pollard Brown served another 3 months in
Culpepper (militia) VA, under Capt Oad Slaughter, as has stated in his declaration, as he saw his brother
in the said company marched from Culpepper County and saw him return with the said company at the
expiration of the term of service of 3 months. Signed by Robert Brown, 10-5-1832.

Honoring a soldier from the war of independence -- The Mayor John Bowie Chapter of the Daughters of
the American Revolution organized a dedication program for a new marker for the grave of Pollard
Brown, a Revolutionary War soldier who died in 1858 in Abbeville. The Program at Lebanon
Presbyterian on Jan. 17 opened with a processional.
DAR dedicates cemetery marker to Revolutionary War soldier
By Henry E. Green
The major John Bowie Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held a marker dedication
on Saturday, Jan 17, for Pollard Brown at Lebanon Presbyterian Church cemetery on the Mt. Carmel
Road on the outskirts of Abbeville.
The Chapter dedicated a marker to replace one which had contained inaccurate information.
When was the marker put up?
"We don't know," said Susie New, of the Major John Bowie Chapter--she is also the historian for the
church.
Brown, she said, died in the poorhouse, as noted in his obituary from 1858.
"Early church records were lost" she said. "We think he had children because his wife's headstone(she is
buried beside him) describes her as a "good mother."
Brown was the last surviving Revolutionary War soldier in Abbeville County, and given that status, the
DAR thought that providing him with a new marker with accurate information was a worthy project.
That project got off the ground when Bev Winsness of Anderson, a descendant of Pollard Brown's
brother Robert, came across Pollard's obituary in an area library.
The obituary was in the form of a poem, which described Brown's death "in the poorhouse", and it
inspired her first to try to locate his grave.
"She was surprised that he had a marker since he died in the poorhouse, and wondered who may have
provided it." said Susie Monday.
Bev contracted Lebanon PCA and asked for any records they might have pertaining to pollard Brown.
The church did not, but Brown is listed in some of the wills in the probate office of Abbeville, along with
one of the earliest elders of the church, which was established in 1821.
New, as a member of the DAR, "thought it would be nice to get a new marker and dedicate it and have
something nice for him."
New contacted the Abbeville County veterans affairs office in the process of trying to secure a new
175
marker, and provided proof of Pollard's service.
I filled out an application, and it was approved," she said.
The new marker, made of marble, was provided by the federal government.
"You have choices,' she said Monday."You can have a bronze, granite or marble."
ON A COLD JANUARY DAY
Thus it was on a cold January day that more than 50 people congregated at the Lebanon Presbyterian
cemetery.
Following a processional led by the Abbeville Grenadier Band Color Guard, Abbeville Mayor Harold
McNeill extended greetings and a welcome to the crowd.
Lebanon PCA Pastor Arnold Johnson gave the invocation, and Brooke New, president of the Fort
Pickens Society of the CAR (Children of the American Revolution) led the pledge to the American flag.
The Norris Sisters sang the National Anthem, and Jim Winsness, Bev's husband, read a brief biography
of Pollard Brown.
Patriot And Pauper
Brown, who died in 1858, served in the Revolutionary War.
He entered the service at the age of 17 or 18, as a drafted militiaman from Culpepper, Va. on Jan. 1,
1781, under Captain Robert Pollard and Lieutenant William Gaines to serve three months.
Pollard Brown and the rest of his unit were marched to "different places along the seacoast" in Virginia,
and he with the rest of the drafted militia were verbally discharged."
Pollard Brown was also, according to records, issued a passport from Governor of the state of Georgia to
pass through the Creek Indian Nation on Oct. 15, 1808.
Brown wanted to pass through the Indian Nation to the Western Country on business.
Brown died in 1858, 13 years after his wife Margaret, and 18 years after his brother Robert.
Winsness said his wife found Pollard Brown's obituary in the Abbeville Banner.
Brown, the last Revolutionary Soldier in the Abbeville District, died "in the poor house", Winsness said:
How sad to think a soldier brave,
Who fought his country's battle long,
Should die and fill a pauper's grave
"Unwept, unhonored, and unsung."
Had he been rich what great display:
How many tears of sorrow shed.
But few did wipe his tears away,
and none to cheer his dying bed.
Soldier, farewell! rest, rest, in peace;
Your tears of valor are forgot.
But there's an hour when sorrows cease,
Though pain and suffering were here thy lot."
"The family thanks all of you here today, and especially thanks Susie New for correcting this injustice
after 145 years," Winsness said.
"Today, because of all of you, we can re-write that obituary," he told the crowd.
That new obituary read in part:
"Soldier, now rest in peace, Your deeds of valor were Not forgot."
Also in attendance were officers of the Fort Pickens Society of the CAR.
There were also state officers of the Daughters of the American Revolution in attendance.
Brown family members included Bev and Jim Winsness, Evelyn and Mac Dunnagan, Carol and Mel
Walker, and Gertrude Brown Collier, according to information from the DAR.
Special guest from Holland were Jan and Renske Sluiter -- they are friends of Jim and Bev Winsness,
New said Monday.

Notes for Benjamin Caudell, Sr.:
Some Kentucky researchers list the above Isham and James Cordell as being sons of Revolutionary James Cordell
b. 1753. However James of Letcher had several children born in GA, while Revolutionary James supposedly
went directly from Wilkes CO., NC to Perry Co., KY with no GA sojourn. Also, there is an 1850 Cedar County,
MO James Cordell with Sampson, known son of Revolutionary James. A good bet is that 1850 Letcher County,
KY James is James, son of Revolutionary Benjamin.

Jim and I think that we found the grave of Jacob Kytle and his wife. Jacob had 3 unmarried daughters, Delilia,
Elizabeth and Sarah. I found that they were buried at Highland Baptiat Church SC.
This morning Jim had to go to Greenville so we decided to look for their graves at that church. When we found
them, we couldn't but notice 2 large stones to the right of the 3 - no name could be read from the stones but
tommorow we will check with the church to see if they have any records. Its is quite possible that the old stones
are Jacob and his wife.
The 3 graves to the left are the daughters (broken Headstones). The first to die was buried next to the large
unmarked stones. Then the second to die is next to her. And the third to die buried next to the second.
I have seen a summary of all the graves in that cemetery which is where I got the info on the 3 daughters. Jacob
was not mentioned but it's hard to belive that he was buried elsewhere since the 3 girls cared for him in his old
age. I have that his wife name was Mary but no proof.
Jim and I drove around in that area. some say that there is a Kytle Creek close by, but could not find it on a map
or in our drive around the area.

--Take Highway 253 for 15.1 miles North from Greenville to it's intersection with highway 414. Be careful as 253
bears right at one point, jogs along with 290 for a few hundred feet, and continues to cross 414.
Take 414 to the right 3.25 miles and the church is on the right. Grave is in the rear center of the cemetery.
Note: Highland Baptist was organized in 1894. Prior to that it was a Methodist Church there. The church was first
called Wilton Grove Baptist then changed the name to Highland Baptist Church. Reading the head stones, there
must have been a church there in the 1820's. Joshua D. Ballenger died May 25, 1881, in the 89th year of his age.
He was a member of the Baptist church 60 years.
Letter written to Beverly and Jim Winsness. Thursday, February 25, 1999, the deacons of Highland Baptist
Church have approved for a moument to be placed in their cemetery in honor of Jacob Kytle. Also permission is
granted to repair the stones that are broken.

Howard Cash's Descendent Will Unveil Monument
Sunday, May 28, 1939 at 2:30 p.m., at the Cash cemetery, six miles east of Cornelia near Broad River Church in
Banks county, the descendants of Howard Cash, a Revolutionary Soldier, will unveil a monument to his honor,
which has been furnished by the War Department of the United States government. Hon. Robert McMillian of
Clarkesville, Judge of the Northern Circuit, will deliver the address. Habersham Post No. 84, American Legion,
under Commander C. C. Hipps of Cornelia, will attend in a body. Two of its past commanders will deliver
addresses. The Cornelia Boy Scouts Troop No. 24 has been asked to attend in a body and help direct the people
who attend the unveiling of the monument.
Howard Cash was one of the original settlers of Habersham county. He came first from Virginia to Elbert county,
now Hart, and then to Habersham upon its establishment in 1818. He was a member of a distinguished Virginia
family and his wife by his first marriage was a relative of President John Tyler of Virginia. He has a large number
of descendants and relatives living in Hart, Franklin, Jackson, Banks, Habersham, White, Stephens, and other
Georgia counties.
A large crowd is expected to attend these unveiling exercises. The program will be in charge of Mrs. Mary Cash
Lane who is secretary of the Cash-Duckett-Chambers Family Reunion organization.
Those wishing to attend from a distant will pass through Cornelia south over the paved road to Homer, turning to
the left about 4 miles from Cornelia at the old Maxwell place.

Chambers - Duckett - Cash
Reunion
The annual Reunion of the Cash Duckett Chambers' families was held Saturday August 12, 1939, at Harmony
Church, Hollingsworth, Georgia, in Banks County, and was said to be the best ever held. The crowd was
estimated to be about eight hundred.
The outstanding feature of this reunion was the memorial program and the dedication of a memorial Marker for
the Revolutionary ancestral father, Howard Cash, who came to Georgia from Virginia in 1787. That marker was
unveiled by his youngest great-grand daughter, Mary Cash Lane. There are fourteen living great grandchildren,
two who are 87 years of age. These are the grandchildren of Nelson and Priscilla Russell Cash who were charter
members of the Harmony Church. These grand children still live in Banks County or adjoining counties near
where Howard Cash lived. Many other descendants of the brothers of Nelson Cash were present from all over the
State.
A special memorial was also held for Judge Richard B. Russell who was a member of this Reunion.
The speaker were: Congressman B. Frank Whelchel, Judge Ben. P. Gilliard of Gainesville, Georgia, and Judge
Clifford Pratt of Winder who spoke on the memorial. Mr. Duckett of Lafayette, Ga., Mr. Dana, President of
Piedmont College, Demorest, Ga., and Bennie Fricks, a student of Piedmont College, spoke in the afternoon.
They spoke of the good of family reunions and especially where they are doing research work on the family lives,
and thus keeping records of the present generations which will soon be history for the descendants of these
families. They compliment the members of this reunion as a whole in there choice of their secretary who has done
so much research work on the Revolutionary ancestors, the splendid and appropriate programs, also her ability as
a presiding officer. ( Referring to Mary Cash Lane. )
The Duckett's first came to this section of Georgia from Buncombe County, North Carolina in 1823. Their
ancestral fathers came to Newberry County, South Carolina in 1774 and were soldiers of the Revolution there.
The Chambers family came from Charleston, South Carolina, and their Revolutionary ancestors settled near
Homer, Georgia, and some of them still live at the original old home. Two Chambers brothers married sisters in
the Cash family. Two Duckett brothers sisters also of this same Cash family. A sister of the Duckett - - - - this is

---The Lucy Tyler text (by Dale Mueller)
Lucy Tyler who married Howard Cash was the daughter of Nelson Tyler, born 1730, died 1795 in Amherst
County, Va and Elizabeth Wade.
The confusion about Lucy comes from the misguided efforts of a lady named Mary Lane in Georgia, who had the
inscription put on Lucy's tombstone "Aunt of President Tyler".
Poor Lucy. She probably never got east of Amherst County in her life and certainly never to Charles City County,
VA where the president's family lived. President Tyler's family is well documented and there is absolutely no
mention of Lucy Tyler. Let's briefly look at the other side. Lucy was married in Amherst County, VA to Howard
Cash. Young women were almost always married in the counties where they lived. The only adult male of the
right age in Amherst to be her father was Nelson Charles Tyler. Lucy named one of her sons Nelson Charles
Cash. Incidentally, Daniel Tyler, Lucy's brother, proven son of Charles, who married Sarah Cash, Howard Cash's
sister also named a son Nelson Charles Tyler so the old boy must have been popular with his kids. I don't know
what got into Mrs Lane but it was probably a touch of the old "my family descends from royalty" syndrome.
Actually, I have never found ANY connection with Lucy's family to the Tyers of the president. There was a very
close connection however between the Monroe family and the Westmoreland Tyers from whence Lucy came.
Lucy's great grandfather was another Charles Tyler of Westmoreland County. His daughter, Christian, married a
Monroe and became the grandmother of President James Monroe.
Charles Jr, son of the original Charles married Susanna Monroe, sister of the Monroe that Chistian married. I
wrote up a document on Lucy since so many people wrote about her and the "aunt of the president" thing. I will
send it along if and when I can find it. Let me know if I can help you further. I have a ton of information on
Lucy's Tyler family. I would recommend, if you haven't seen it to get Thelma Prince's book "Our Southern
Ancestors" for a very detailed account of the Cash family.

Notes for David Caudell:
David married Rebecca Sims in Franklin County, Georgia on November 25, 1817. David divorced
Rebecca. Supposedly he caught her with another man. May even have been the first divorce for adultery
in Franklin County, Georgia and he had to have it approved by the State Legislature. He then married
Elizabeth Bridges. David & Elizabeth had 2 children and David's orphaned daughter, Zelena, lived for a
time with Benjamin, Jr. and his wife, Fannie.
On November 10, 1852 Zelena married Alexander Murray, youngest son of James and Anna Murray. I
don't know what happened to Alexander's first wife, Eliza Ellis, who he married on February 17, 1850,
unless she died during childbirth. (E-mail from Evelyn Dunagan on January 12, 2001.

Cash Ancestors
William Cash was born in Scotland around 1625 and settled in Salem, Massachusetts about 1667. He married
Elizabeth Lambert and bought a home at the junction of Essex and Forrester Street. They had eight children
whose births and marriages are on record in the First Church of Salem.
William was a master mariner who owned and operated the Brigantine, "Good Intent," in the British Isles. He
died in 1690 and is buried in the Charter Street Cemetery in Salem. The wooden cross that once marked his grave
is now gone.
William left on record that the Cash seat was anciently at "the Place Cash" near Strathminglo, Fife, Scotland.
About 1676, the mariner, William Cash, brought from Scotland to Salem our immigrant Cash ancestor whose
name was also William Cash. Our William Cash is Believed to be the nephew of the mariner, William Cash.
Our William Cash was born in Scotland around 1653. A British tax record in 1677 list him in Washington Parish,
Westmoreland County, Virginia. He married Elizabeth (probably Skinner), and they had eight children. William

Notes for Francis Cooke:
Had 2 marriage dates - one was 20 Jul, other 30 June?
Notes for Hester Le Mahieu:
Jacques Mahieu and his wife Jenne/Jeanne unknown, had at least one child, a daughter named Hester le Mahieu,
b. late 1500s. (Her parents were French Walloons who fled to Canterbury, England and then to Leiden, Holland
where they arrived before 1602. )
Daughter Hester maried Francis Cooke on 20 Jul 1603, in Leiden, Holland, he abt. 19, she 20. They had family,
migrated to colonies, and both died in Playmouth, Plymouth, MA.
The language, Walloon, is spoken nowadays in the modern Belgian provinces of Hainaut, Liège, Namur,
Luxembourg, and southern Brabant (they are called often Wallonia), in tiny parts of Northwestern France (mainly
in the city of Givret in the departement of the Ardennes), and in the region of Green Bay in the United States
(Wisconsin), where a compact group of Walloons settled in the 19th century. Walloon was previously spread in
Luxembourg also, where it disappeared recently.
It is estimated that Walloon is used actively by 10-20% of the total population of Wallonia or between 300,000
and 600,000 people. The proportion of those who can understand it is higher. The proportion of those who can
read and write is very small indeed. There are only few monolingual speakers, although there are still more than a
handful whose main language is Walloon, especially among the elderly generations.
Walloon is a Langue d'oil speech, which developed between the 8th and the 12th centuries from the GalloRomance language. It preserved its linguistic peculiarities throughout the periods of Burgundian,
Spanish, Austrian, French, and Dutch domination that preceded the establishment of the Kingdom of Belgium in
1830.
Walloon is closely related to French and is usually considered by the linguists to be one of its dialects. There is a
local view about Walloon as a separate language. According to it there are to be distinguished three language
levels in Wallonia: standard French, Walloon in its different dialects, and local colloquial variant of French (i.e. a
dialect of French) which is colored by Walloon influences.

By the honorable the ordinary of said county.
To B. P. Brown greeting:
Whereas, J. W. Brown age 18 years, W. C. Brown age 13 years, and Talitha M. Brown age 10 Orphans of J.
L. Brown possessed in his own right considerable Estate-- by means whereof, the power of granting the
guardianship of said Orphans to me is manifestly known to belong and the better securing the Estate, and more
ample maintenance and education of the said Orphans, and from the integrity and confidence reposed in you, I do
hereby commit the tuition, education and Guardianship of the said Orphans, to you the said B. P. Brown Jr. (you
assenting thereto by the acceptance of these Letters.) herein charging you, that you maintain them in meat, drink,
clothing and lodging; that you cause them to be educated in such manner as shall be suitable to their interest and
circumstances; and that you enquire into and take charge of their Estate, both real and personal, and all other
things do, which by Law you ought to do for your said Ward. A true and perfect account of all which you shall
render to the Court of Ordinary of the said county, on the first term in every year, during your continuance in
office; and I do hereby constitute and appoint you the said B. P. Brown Jr. Guarding of the said Orphans, during
their minority.
In Testimony whereof, I have hereunto officially set my hand and seal, this 8th day of December 1910.
J. A. Robertson, Ordinary, Habersham County.

Know all Mean by these presents, That we, B. P. Brown as Principle and American Bonding Co. of
Baltimore, as security acknowledge ourselves jointly and severally bound unto J. A. Robertson Ordinary of said
County, and his successors and assigns, in the just and full sum of One Thousands Dollars, to the true payment of
which, well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, and the heirs and executors of us and each of us, jointly and
severally by these presents.
Sealed with our seals, and dated this 8 day of December 1910.
Note: I do not understand why Guardianship was given now (December 1910) when their father died in
January 1903........Unless that they received money when their grandfather Henry Loudermilk died. But, Henry
Loudermilk died in September 1917. Was there a law that a woman (their mother) could not be given that
responsibility.....??????? And why in 1910.
Women were not given the right to vote until 1920. When the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in August,
1920, granted women the right to vote in all United States elections.
--Went to DeKalb County, Georgia land records office to try to find the deed for when Wade and Minnie purchased

could. On a the second trip, now to Fulton County to find when he purchased the land in Fulton County for his
first dairy. Could not find the books or records I wanted, but found what I needed for the purchased of land in
Dekalb. I entered the records in order of dates.

Notes for MINNIE BELLE STEPHENS:
The Stephens family went to the Mountain Grove Church, which was a short wagon ride from their home. After
1903 and until 1940, Mountain Grove School was held in the Mountain Grove Church. After Ballew School
burned, students were sent to Mountain Grove Church to attend class. This is where the Stephens' children went to
school.
To reach the former site of this school (Church), take Red Root Road 61, a one lane dirt road off Highway
123 east of Mt. Airy. Follow Nancy Town Lake Road for about four miles to a cemetery on the left. Only the
219
cemetery remains as a reminder of a once active community. This area is now in the Lake Russell Wildlife
Management Area in Stephens County, but before 1906, it was in Habersham County. this is the cemetery where
Minnie's father Robert Franklin Stephens and her younger sister Lucile are buried.
Mountain Grove School was a grammer school. All grades from the first through the seventh or eight were
taught. All ages from five or six and up attended.
The church was a frame building with one room. A curtain divided the classes. The benches and desk were
long enough for two or three people to sit on. A bucket was used to carry water from a spring. Each child had his
or her own individual drinking cup.
Heat was furnished from a pot-bellied stove. Parents cut and hauled wood for the heater. During the winter
some wood was always kelp in the building to stoke the heater.
The children walked to school carrying their lunch pails or buckets with them. The lunches were placed on a
shelf inside the building until noon, at which time the children eagerly devoured their lunches and then went to the
playground for their favorite games. These games were creative play as no playground equipment was provided.
There were no toilets.

Sending Christmas Overseas (only part of the article)
Photo of Doris Brown (Dot in the article) cooking on 1940's small gas stove, wearing a ruffled apron. Mrs. J. W.
Brown, 1321 Ormewood Avenue, S.E., frying chicken, which she will can and put into a Christmas box for her
husband in the Navy.
Half way into the articleCute little 18-year-old "Dot" Brown sent 20-year-old "Dub"Brown several cans of fried chicken last spring. In
private life they are Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Brown and they have been married a year and a half. Dot lives with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Hooks, at 1321 Ormewood Avenue, S.E. She fried the chicken at home, filled nine
cans with it at Sears' Farmers' Market cannery, and still has two cans to include in Dub's Christmas box, which
will also contain home-baked apples. She has sent him home-canned pears and peaches, and she plans to try an
experiment that worked perfectly for one of her friends - she's going to select perfect apples, coat them with
paraffin wax and send them raw to Dub. The chicken took two months to reach him (he's with the Navy in
England on L. C. I.) but he wrote it was just as tender and tasty as if it had just come out of the skillet. Hot, too, as
he warmed the can.
Children of JOHNSON BROWN and DORIS HOOKS are:
