I came home from there (all twenty miles) bearing great gifts. The Colonial Records of Georgia, The Revolutionary Records of Georgia and the Confederate Records of Georgia (about fifty volumes), plus a little beauty titled A List of the Early Settlers of Georgia. This book includes excellent dates, whether each person came because they had to or because they wanted to and remarks about most of them, some not very flattering such as: " Watson, Joseph - An insolent vile man: tis said he has a grant of 500 acres, but I don't find when, or when taken up. Twice fyn'd for scandal; again fyn'd for assaulting an Indian, and afterwds. capitally convicted of killing one, but brought in lunatick. Is now out on good behavior. In the Colony the end of the year 1746." Also "Venables, Jo. - Upholster; embark'd 22 March 1736/7; arrived 3 June 1737. Went to Carolina a week after he landed in order to return to England. Went to Carolina 10 June 1737", and "Bradley, WIll. - Was sent to teach agricultr.: embark'd 20 Oct. 1735; arrived Feb. 1735-6. ! He had a grant of 500 acres 17 Nov. 1735. The Trustees sent him over to instruct the inhabitants in Agriculture, and are now (1739) calling him to account for malversation. The Trust servants were put under his care, but were taken from him 1739, lives Inmate Savannah on Lot 37. A Rioter in open Court 20 Oct. 1735; and convicted of stealing a calf & hog 2 Nov. 1737 which he confest. He since put his own mark on the Trustees cattle, & killed others impunedly which is felony. He took possession of his 500 acres 26 April 1739. He stole out of the Colony to avoid settling his account 28 May 1740 & ran to Carolina. Run away 28 May 1740." For those interested in the Duplin, North Carolina HOLLINGSWORTH line, I found an interesting entry in the History of Screven County (Georgia): "The first Hollingsworths in this part of Georgia were three brothers, Valentine, Zebulon and Timothy, who moved down from Duplin County, North Carolina, about 1759. They were the sons of Stephen Hollingsworth of that county and were the greatgrandsons of Valentine Hollingsworth, a Quaker who came to America from Ireland in 1682 to join William Penn's colony . . . . . . .[much more]".

Lynda, I'm sure it's a long shot, but I went to prep school here in Atlanta (the Westminster Schools) with Addison Smith. I think he was a year ahead of me so he would have graduated in 1960. If you're interested in pursuing this lead just let me know and I'll find his phone numbers. His father was also an Addison.

If your ancestor died at the hospital (see service records or publications covering deaths in Confederate Hospitals) they could be buried here.

Richard: I don't know where Asberry is buried nor the location of the cemetery. You would have to find that out, I guess, from the person who posted the original message. I live in Alabama but have 2 sets of greatgrandparents that lived in Heard County beginning around 1840 so I have accumulated as much historical data / family histories as possible trying to find my own roots. That is how I happened to have the Copeland data. Here is a website I think you might find useful. It has the Muster Rolls for CSA soldiers, according to Lillian Henderson's Roster of Confederate Soldiers on it. I wish I could say it is complete but even she left some men out. http://members.xoom.com/cmeadows/gv/gvimain.html Jane ---------- > From: RCSPAIN@aol.com > To: GA-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [GA-Roots] Two Georgia Civil War men buried in Lauderdale Springs, MS. > Date: Friday, August 11, 2000 10:14 AM > > Jane, > I appreciate your reply.

I can remember Mother adding meal to a pot of water and slow cooking on top of a coal stove. It looked and sort of tasted like thin grits.

Two men mentioned in previous posting P.V.T. Ashberry A Copeland and Pvt. Joseph Henry Peoples are both buried in Lauderdale Springs, CSA Cemetery with markers identifying them. Majority of graves do not. Mary

Hi everyone. Sorry for delay but I receive this list in digest format. Here is link where names of those buried in this cemetery are posted. There are many markers but only these with names on them. Make sure to go to LauderdaleCounty Dept. of Archives and History publications. Scroll down to very bottom and you will find numerous publications that you can purchase with hospital, burial etc. information on soldiers from Georgia and other Southern States.
