Noah's Ark Methodist Church Jonesboro, Clayton Co. Georgia The original Church was named Ebnezar and was located about 2 miles north east of the present Church. 1837 an act to incorporate Mount Pleasant Academy, in Henry County. The first schools were named Academies, and run by the Churches. The land was sold by THOMAS ALLEN to the trustees of the Academy. 1849 the school disbanded. The property was sold at a sheriff sale. People of Ebnezar decided to relocate the Church and bought the land from a man by the name of JOHN WILLIAMS. JORDON JOHNSON, who was in Georgia Legislature, purchased the land (5 acres) for $25.00 and named the board of Trustees on July 10, 1852. The first structure was a larger Church. It contained a portion for the Negro Slaves. The present building is located on Old Mount Pleasant Academy, built in 1888-89. The entire building and furnishings cost $1400.00. The lumber was shipped from South Georgia and the chairs came from New York at $2.50 apiece. The Church was deciated on Dec 13, 1889 by REV. J.W. LOWRY. The pastor at the time came from McDonough. His name was NOAH SMITH and the Church decided to name the Church after him and called it NOAH'S ARK. He was said to have come from South Carolina. ELI CARNES, DAVID DAILEY, WILLIAM L. CAMPBELL, WILLIAM C. LEE & SAMUEL LEE were named trustees. The deed for the property is made to the Trustees and their successors in office. Pastors and dates of service as near as could be gotten.

The slave section of the cemetery is toward the back and last time I was there was overgrown with trees, etc. Same for some of the white section toward the left in the cemetery. My sister and I worked hard one hot summer day trying to cut brush and some of the smaller trees. Lost cause for us. The rest of the cemetery is well kepted. The newer part has pepetual care and the carekeepers keep up most of the older section where my family is buried. I thank them with a small check when I can. . My gr gr grandfather, Jordan Johnson was one of the founders and is buried amongst his ancestors and many of his descendants among whom are my father, grandfather and great grandfather.

While browsing "Georgia Genealogical Magazine" (July 1965, p. 1100) for something else recently, I came across the following entry, from Liberty County, Georgia, Deed book B., p. 278: "Peter Augustus Bishop of Sunbury, merchant, manumits (frees) his Negro woman named Felicity, age 22 years, with her children, Nov. 30, 1788. Witnesses; William Harrison and Robert Cole and John Lawson, Jr. J.P. And on the same date before the same witnesses, he in separate instrument frees his Sambo boy named Peter Gilbert, age about 10 years. On the next page (279) is a Bill of Sale for the Sambo boy, dated Oct. 20, 1788, from Matthew Moran Cadet of Island of Hispaniola to said Bishop, same witnesses." An editors note follows: "Sambo boy" was evidently some type of slave and not a person's name. The term may have had reference to his training or may have denoted some African tribe he came from." I was interested by this; I did not know the origin of the word "Sambo", but when I had encountered it previously, I had assumed that it was used as a derogatory term for African-Americans. I set out to find the meaning of the word as it was used in its historical context. I eventually found an explanation of the meaning of the word at the web site at: http://www.msstate.edu/listarchives/afrigeneas/199711/msg00052.html "Sambo" was a name that is still used by the Fula tribes of West Africa, and was used as a name of honor. It was usually used to denote the first born son of a family. It also had religious connotations; 'Sambo' or 'Samba' was also said to be one of the names of the prophet Muhammad. (I was also interested by this last part; we are all familiar that some elements of indigenous African religions survived among the descendants of the slaves, but it is also interesting that this is an element of Islam that survived.)

I've received dozens of lookup requests on these new books with a general directive to search for a last name (and sometimes 15 last names). Please be a tad more specific. These books cover a time frame from the early 1700s to the late 1800s. I can check the EARLY SETTLERS book quickly, but the other new books are indexed within EACH volume - meaning that I will have to go through over fifty volumes checking for your name. So if you want a response in my lifetime narrow the scope a bit, 'cause obviously I'm going for the "quickies" first.

Have you ever run across a John Crum who raised a famioy in Patrick Co., VA and died in Ga sometime after 1830. He supposedly "died there at a ripe old age." He was born in Switzerland. If you ever find him, I would be most grateful. He had lost his property in VA.
