2nd and final installation of article by Ann Smith, from the Eufaula Tribune, Sunday, July 9, 2000. ================================================== Providence Cemetery ================== On a down the dirt road, (this is actually on the paved section, Co. Rd. 79), a well maintained, (this is also questionable), Evans family cemetery catches Russell's eye. "All of these cemeteries were inventoried by Marie Godfrey before she died," Russell says, as she approaches the Providence Cemetery near Old Batesville. "There were a lot of people with money up in here," Russell says, and "a lot of people from Ft. Browder, where a block house was built for defense against the Indians. There were probably 400 or 500 people here," Russell says. "There was an academy here, for the children of the plantation owners," she says. A marker erected on Highway 82 by the Historic Chattahoochee Commission tells the story of the Providence settlement, founded after the Rev. J.W. Norton and his wife migrated here from South Carolina"with his family and a wagon train of followers." In 1835 he established the Providence Methodist Church in the Old Batesville area. "He was a real pioneer," Russell says. The old Providence Cemetery is one of the better kept of Barbour's hundreds of old rural cemeteries. Iron fences surround several of the family plots, and small square markers implanted in recent years mark dozens of unidentified graves. Again, the graves of infants and children are sad reminders of a hard life in a world without the miracle of today's medicine. =============================== Thornton family cemetery ====================== But perhaps the most intriquing-and saddest-stop on Russell's "field trip" is at the remote Thornton family cemetery, on property owned by Russell's father, the late Lee Clayton. Driving along Lee Clayton Road, Russell looks for a slight trench in the roadside embankment. First she passes it, but readily spots it after turning around. Well off the road, on a hillside that offers a view all the way back to Eufaula during the winter months, is a burial ground Russell says contains several hundred graves. It began as the Thornton plantation family cemetery. Years ago, a trench was dug around the Thornton family graves, and today one large marker notes the lives of three family members. But surrounding the family plot, going far back into the woods, is evidence of countless unmarked graves. Russell quickly spots one of the simple pine markers, a broken kerosene lamp and a broken pitcher. She has written an account of her exploration of the cemetery in 1987, when she and her father discovered numerous artifacts places there by families of the hundreds of blacks who were buried there after the Thorntons abandoned the area. She says it was a common sight in old black cemeteries in this part of the south to find the fragments of vases, pitchers and sick room artifacts placed at the grave of the deceased. "Historical Atlas of Alabama, Volume 2, Cemetery Locations of Alabama," lists 178 cemeteries in Barbour County. Within them stand hundreds of markers inscribed with bits of information about the lives of those interred. But within them also are the resting places of hundreds of settlers, farmers, slaves and free blacks, women and children, who, as Russell says, "lived, died and are forgotten." ================================================== Richard Price SOS 6-3

The following was reported in the Eufaula Tribune, Sunday July 9, 2000. It was written by Ann S. Smith, Tribune associate editor. Due to length of the article, I will present it in two or three installations. ================================================= "Cemeteries tell of famous and forgotten" Some are marked by small, humble piles of field stones. Others have simple boards of heart pine, the only decoration being a small circle design cut into the top of the small board. Others are mere sunken places in the ground. They are the graves of pioneers, settlers, farmers and slaves who toiled in the hot summer sun and endured winter in crude cabins or, later, sturdier farm houses. Barbour County is filled with hundreds of graves that yield no clues about the lives of the people who were buried in family plots and early rural church cemeteries that do bear witness to the early settlers. Some have wrought iron fences around plots of the more well-to-do families. They are in areas of the county that are today remote, but where communities of several hundred people once lived. In some of the cemeteries, later generations have placed markers. On a hot June afternoon, local history buff Margaret Clayton Russell stands in the midst of a section of Mt. Serene Cemetery, in a wooded area off the Clayton Highway. The straight pine boards on some of the unmarked graves offer mute testimony to the lives of "simple farmers" who, Russell laments, "lived, died and are forgotten." Descendants have fenced in and marked some of the graves at Mt. Serene, where the markers placed in modern times on graves of pioneers John and Anna L. Stewart tell us they were born in 1770 and 1777. But Russell says dozens of unmarked graves are scattered throughout the nearby woods. Beauchamp Cemetery ================= Traveling on down to the old White Oak area, where a depot once stood to accommodate rail traffic, Russell says we will have to climb up a "little bank" to find the family burial ground of one of Barbour County's true pioneers, Green Beauchamp. Along the way, abandoned sharecropper houses are lonely reminders of those who didn't live in grand plantation houses or mansions in Eufaula and Clayton. Beauchamp, whose Chronicles offer a glimpse into pioneer days in Barbour County, came into the frontier about 1818, from Ft. Gaines, GA., Russell informs her companion on the "cemetery field trip." Suddenly she slows down on the isolated dirt road, where carelessly discarded beer cans are the only sign of civilization. She backs up, pulling to the side of the road. After climbing up the embankment and walking a few yards into the woods, she finds the small Beauchamp family cemetery, where it appears the few marble markers have recently been disturbed. "We need to do something about this," she comments, pointing out gravesite of William R. Beauchamp, brother of Green Beauchamp. "He and his wife had seven or eight children who were raised by Green Beauchamp and his wife after their parents died." she says. The cemetery markers document the short lives of many before the days of modern medicine: William R. Beauchamp, who died at age 18, and Asbury Beauchamp, who lived only eight years. "Marie Godfrey searched for years for Green Beauchamp's grave, but she never was sure which one it was," Russell says. But pointing to a crude semi-circle of stones around a sunken area about the size of a casket, she says she believes that is the final resting place of the early pioneer who was only 17 years old when he came to the Creek country in 1818. Russell says Green Beauchamp was probably the last person buried in the old cemetery. In "Backtracking in Barbour County." Anne Kendrick Walker writes that after Beauchamp's death, (1883) his wife, Caroline, who had no children, left the settlement =========================================================== Richard Price SOS 6-3

Does anyone know anything about my great grandmother, Nancy Ann Miller, b. Nov 8, 1840; d. Aug 18, 1896? She married Moses Eson Smith (b. Sep 23, 1830 in GA; d. Aug 24, 1896). Her parents were Martin Miller and Jane Horne Miller. One of my cousins told me that Jane was Indian. Would anyone know which tribe? Or anything else? Thanks. Sandra

Thanks Homer, today has not been a total loss because I learned something! Doris Clermont, FL

Terri, Thank you for this information. I probably was not clear in my original request. A cousin told me that someone had told him that there were McKay graves in a cemetery about 10 or 11 miles north of Ozark near the Pea River. At least that's what I understood. I guess I just assumed it would be on Hwy. 231, since he mentioned that it was "going toward Troy." I probably completely misunderstood him. I'll ask again for directions. Thank you very much for your help. betty n a message dated 00-07-29 17:11:03 EDT, you write: << On- line at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~albarbou/peariver.htm There are some MCKAYs there, but Pea River Presbyterian is not on 231 - it is on 51 in Barbour County.

Yes, my great-grandparents, George William and Sarah Delania Peters McKay, as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins are buried at Wiggins Church. My great-grandfather John C. McKay is buried at Claybank in Ozark. But we don't know where his wife, Sarah (Sally) Mathilda Jones McKay, or his father, Dugald McKay, or Dugald's wife, Cynthia, are buried. I really don't think I'll find their graves at the cemetery near the Pea River, but I thought I'd try to look. Our McKays came from North Carolina through Georgia and settled at Newton about 1851, and after John was shot and killed in 1866, what was left of the family moved to the Clopton district. Later some moved to Skipperville. Then, one set moved to the Wiggins Church Community, and another to Piney Grove, south of Dothan, before moving to Dothan. I would really like to find the graves of Dugald McKay, who died in 1870, and of Sarah M. McKay, who died about 1862. Thank you for any suggestions. betty in a message dated 00-07-29 17:10:08 EDT, you write: << I think you will find most of the McKay line buried in Dale County at Wiggns Cemetery, near the Dothan Airport. >>
