I have never seen the book so I really don't have an answer but it is out of print. I think I will just look for a library that I can look at it and copy what I need. ----- Original Message ----- From: "KAREN D SMITH" <kdwsmith@comcast.net> To: <ALCHAMBE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 3:42 PM Subject: Re: [ALCHAMBE-L] Book by William H.

Both books are by William H. Davidson who is alive and well living in West Point, GA. I ordered Heart Pine Straight two years ago directly from him . I will check and see if I still have a recent with an address. I can't imagine why the book mentioned in the other emails would be so expensive unless it is out of print. Way too high.

The best I can remember, this is the book I checked out of the Horseshoe Bend Library in Dadeville. It showed old homes and businesses in the area. I am searching for Brittian Ware Evans if he is in your family which connected to Dunsons. He also did HEART PINE STRAIGHT about houses and people of Chambers Co., AL which I bought about 1998. It is very enjoyable.

He was one of the first settlers of Alabama, coming to his State when quite a young man, and was one of the last of his generation to pass over the river of death. He was born in Monroe County, Ga., November 5, 1813, and died the 16th of July, 1900, being at his death fourscore and seven years old (87). He was confined to his bed only a few days before his death. His remains were consigned to the silent grave on the 17th of July, 1900, at the church cemetery at Macedonia Church by the side of his companion who died March 16, 1896, Elder John T. Satterwhite, his beloved pastor, conducting the burial services. He raised a large family of children, leaving two sons and three daughters to mourn his death, together with all who knew him. Uncle Richmond and his wife joined the Primitive Baptist Church at Sharon, in Chambers County, near Wickerville (now Denson), in the year 1840, where they lived a few years and then moved near Darien Church in Tallapoosa County, where he was ordained to the office of Deacon of Darien Church in the year 1851, then moved near Macedonia Church, Chambers County in 1874, where his membership was when he died, living all this time a devoted member and Deacon, and never in all his life having any charge against him in church or state. His life as a father, husband, and neighbor was a model of Primitive manhood; thus, a life long and useful, who can fill his place? May God help us all and stimulate us to imitate his walk, and to discharge our Christian duties with the same patient life that he lived, and may the memory of him be ever fresh in all of our hearts. Therefore, be it Resolved by Macedonia Primitive Baptist Church in conference assembled, 1. That by the death of Father Pearson, our church loses an ancient landmark and shining light, and whose life had fully matured and was indeed ready for the harvest. 2. To the dispensation of the Great I Am in this bereavement, we bow submissively to His will, feeling that he had filled his mission on earth and to die as he had lived was but the beginning of his eternal bliss and happiness. 3. To his devoted sons and daughters who survive him and all relatives, we tender our sympathy in this bereavement, and for consolation point them to his unblemished life he has lived, and the cheering thought of his happiness on high, where there is room for all who do Gods will. 4. That a page be preserved in our church book sacred to his memory and that our clerk make suitable inscription thereon. 5. That this memorial and resolution be placed upon the Minutes of our church book and a copy be sent to the Gospel Messenger and one to The LaFayette Sun for publication. Committee: G. W. Gammill; W.

He was born in Troup County, Ga., August 28, 1835, and lived the most of his life in Chambers County, Ala., near West Point, Ga. He was an affectionate husband and father, a kind neighbor, and a good and useful citizen. He proved a brave soldier when battling for his Southland, and when he returned home, at the close of the war, to gather up the remnants of his property, no man went to work with more courage to restore to his family the comforts they had lost. He was always zealous in doing good, helping to lift burdens that were too heavy, and ministering in every way to the unfortunate around him. The death of this good man is deplored by all, but through our blinding tears we try to be consoled, for his end was peace. (Written by) A. G.

Mrs. Polly Ann Megginson Mrs. Polly Ann Megginson was born in Harris County, Ga., February 1, 1831, and moved to Alabama, Chambers County, in 1845. She was married to Hector Megginson, January 24, 1850. To them were born nine children, three boys and six girls; of these three are dead. She joined the church of Christ (Primitive Baptist) at Mount Hickory, and was baptized by Elder Taylor in 1854; and remained a consistent member of that body until death. She was a great lover of the old church and went through heat and cold to meet and worship with the children of God. When it was not convenient for some one to convey here to the church she would walk, and was seldom out of her seat when the church was called to order by the pastor. She labored to conform all of her business to that rule, and between meetings would plan every way possible to be ready for the meeting day. The writer has been her pastor for many years, and can now join the church and relatives in bearing this our loss; but God has called her to rest, and we must submit. We failed to learn her maiden name. Five Points, Ala. (Written by) John T.

Clark donlc_99@yahoo.com March 3, 2005, 8:26 pm The Gospel Messenger, Volume 23, No. 3. March, 1901. John H. Higgins Our hearts sadden at every remembrance of the death of this most humble, most faithful, and most worthy brother. Truly our loss is great in many ways. When we think of him as a citizen, as a neighbor, as a church member, husband, father, or in every relation of life, we know there was no one in all our acquaintance who was more faithful and worthy than he. Much could be profitably said of this good man, but space forbids at this time. He was a successful farmer; and while he was prosperous, he spent much of his time working with his own hands. He once said to the writer that he took special delight in meeting punctually all his obligations. He served two terms as County Commissioner faithfully performing all the duties of that office; he completed the last term only a few weeks before his death. He never sought office, but was regarded by the people as worthy of every trust conferred upon him. He was born October 11, 1824; and was married January 24, 1843. He had been a member of the church 56 years. He was born in South Carolina, moved with his parents to Butts County, Ga., when quite small, where he was married to Sarah E. Beavers, with whom he lived until his death, November 10, 1900, being a little over 75 years old. For many years he has lived in Alabama, Chambers County, and was a member of Mount Pisgah Church. He was a great help to the church in temporal matters, being not only able but willing to do always more than his part. His church elected their pastor annually, and on the day of election he always presented to the church for the pastor liberally of temporal things a sacrifice, which no doubt was well pleasing to God. But alas! He is gone from us and we must be resigned. He leaves an aged and afflicted companion, two children, grandchildren, ad many friends to weep. He was buried in the family cemetery on a bright Sabbath eve, in the presence of a large congregation, after a short discourse by the writer. In his death he wore a smile, Which did greatly cheer us; Jesus came to reconcile, For He alone must bear us. Five Points, Ala. (Written by) John T.
