They were cousins of the early >Fitzpatrick settlers; Bird, Alva, Benjamin, Phillips, etc......they were >all >major slave owners and cotton plantation owners. Could be found around >Union Springs, Bullock county. Doll Hargrove's wesite has a list of slaves >from Constantine FITPATRICK's will who probably came to AL from GA. > >HARWELL & JONES >Elam married a widow named "Mary B.(BRANCH?) Jones" (1812-1873) in 1837 in >GA. I have found that her maiden name was HARWELL and that she was >originally married to a man named Robert A. JONES (b. around 1795 in VA or >NC, died intestate in 1835 in Morgan county, GA) with whom she had a >daughter, Mary Ann Robert Jones b.1834. Mary B. "Harwell" Jones might have >inherited slaves from VA from her PARHAM maternal ancestors of VA. She and >her JONES daughter inherited slaves ( I have this documented with names) >when her JONES husband died. I have wondered if white JONES in the Macon >county area were related, as Robert was a cotton farmer in GA before he >died. Mary B. HARWELL JONES FITZPATRICK ran dead husband Elam's cotton >plantation, it seems, after Elam died. Her JONES daughter married >Benjamin >Fitzpatrick, a son of Frances TRANUM and Phillips FITZPATRICK (documented, >with a prenup) in 1850. He died in 1851. I don't think he brought too >many >slaves to this marriage, but this is just a guess. In 1854 JONES daughter >remarried..... > >MARQUIS >She married a George MARQUIS (c.1822-c.1900) who appears to be from a >prominent VA>PA> Ohio family. They owned about 30 slaves before the war >(Some were her JONES inheritance and their "increase", and they probably >purchased some people). There are several African-Am MARQUIS in the 1870 >census in Macon county. Some may be descended from the JONES inheritance, >esp if they were born in VA and GA. > >HARPER >Elam FITZPATRICK and Mary HARWELL-JONES had one daughter before he died; >Mary Sarah Rebecca FITZPATRICK b.1840 who married a merchant, Albert >Sidney >HARPER of Shelby county AL and TX in 1860. He was the son of William WEBB >HARPER (farmer and minor slave owner in Chambers county AL>LA>TX) and >Lucinda ALLEN, related to HUDSON and SMITH.......These HARPERS were married >into KIDDS and WEBBS in the earlier generations. Married these cousins a >bunch of times, too. Most of these people migrated to TX. I have not >established a connection to the other HARPERS in Macon county, but they >might have been distant cousins. > >ALLEN >The Allens of this area were likely relatives of this HARPER, as they >settled around Auburn. There are documented references to the connections >of these families. > >Forgive this long-winded roll-call!
