Pat Would it be imposing to ask you to look for date of death of Daniel B. Cannady born 1831 and died around 1887? (Emanuel County, Ga.) I need verification of this. I can't find his father but would like to verify dates. Thanks Claudia

Hi Pam, I noticed your query on GA-Roots. If you haven't already received it, I can check the GA Death Index, which should give the exact date of Harold Clyde Stevens's death. It will also give his age. Would this be useful to you? I'll be going to library one day this week. Pat Crabtree rcrabtree@infoave.net

Hi Mick, There were tons of Kitchens in Jones County. I found an abstract of the will of Urias Kitchen: Feb. 3, 1875: May 3, 1875 To wife: Sarah Kitchens To sons: Wiley Franklin, Geo. Washington To dau.: Nancy Ellen Kitchen To gr. son: Felix W. Martin Exr.: son, Alexander Kitchens Wit.: F.M. Stripling, Laura Wells, E.C. Grier. As you probably know, there are many microfilm available from LDS on Jones County. There is also a great book "History of Jones County" by Carolyn White Williams. Washington Memorial has the index to it and, of course, the book. You could write and ask them to copy the pages regarding the Kitchens. They would charge for copying and postage. Hope this helps.

Until recently, I didn't understand why my ancestors followed the path that they did to get to Georgia. Then I found several sites on early migration routes, such as those at : Early American Roads and Trails: http://members.aol.com/RoadTrails/roadtrai.html Closer map of the Great Philadelphia Wagon Road: http://members.tripod.com/philnorf/mapofthe.htm Migration Routes from Pennsylvania to Virginia: http://www.indwes.edu/Faculty/bcupp/genes/migrate.htm I realized that nearly all my lines seem to have followed the course of either the King's Road, Fall Line Road, or the Philadelphia Wagon Road before they got to Georgia. The Fall Line Road and Philadelphia Wagon Road lead to Augusta. The best map showing the early roads through Georgia is at: http://www.intl-research.com/images/eastbig.gif I would like to know if they continued following the Fall Line Road through Georgia. The general course of the Fall Line Road seems to follow the right path, but has anyone seen a book or reference that describes exactly what the course of the Fall Line Road was through Georgia? Or the course of the "Cisco Road" from Augusta to Nashville? And has anyone seen a reference on what was the name and exact course of the road going from Athens into Southwest Georgia and Florida? Jeff Armstrong

Today the story of Revolutionary War Captain James Armstrong, who ordered his own men to fire on other Continental troops in order to prevent the massacre of captured British troops. The story is recounted in the book "Historical Collections of Georgia", by Rev. George W. White. The book refers only to "Capt. Armstrong" without a first name, but from a consideration of other documents it appears that this was Capt. James Armstrong of Pennsylvania, who after the war returned to Georgia to become commander of the Georgia militia. In 1781 Colonel Henry Lee and General Pickens laid seige to Fort Cornwallis in the center of present day Augusta, Georgia. A protracted and ferocious fight ensued in which one of the key figures was Capt. Armstrong, one of Colonel Lee's officers. One of those present is quoted as saying "I have often heard the gallant Armstrong declare that he never had, in his opinion, encountered equal peril with that he experienced on this trying occasion. At every turn preparation was made for death. In every individual who approached, was seen the eager wish to destroy. Resentment was excited to the highest pitch, and called aloud to be appeased by blood." Facing annihilation, the fort's commander, Colonel Thomas Browne, surrendered the garrison troops, a mixed force of British Rangers and American Loyalist militia. A narrative of what happened next was written in 1786 after the war by Colonel Browne: "From Colonel Lee who commanded the Continental Legion, a gentleman of most honourable and liberal sentiments, and from his officers, the King's troops experienced every security and attention; from the militia, under General Pickens, every species of abuse and insult. The King's Rangers were paroled, and quartered at a gentleman's house, with a guard of Continental dragoons under the command of Captain Armstrong. The militia prisoners were confined to a stockade fort, where General Pickens and his militia were quartered." After Colonel Lee left Augusta, two of the Britsh officers were shot, one of them in front of his own family and his body desecrated, in the presence of General Pickens and his officers. "....These outrages served only as a prelude to a concerted plan for murdering all the prisoners. To execute this diabolical design, a hundred of General Picken's unseen marksmen, accompanied by three colonels, marched with drawn swords to the quarters of the King's Rangers. "Captain Armstrong being informed of their intention, threatened, and ordered his guards to oppose them if they advanced. Then, addressing himself to the King's Rangers, he told them, that if attacked, to consider themselves released from their paroles, and defend themselves. The determined spirit of Captain Armstrong and Major Washington, who were present, struck such terror into these ruffians that, apprehending an obstinate resistance, they instantly retired." The book further relates that as the British prisoners were loading into boats on the Savannah River to be evacuated down to Savannah, General Pickens' men positioned themselves on the riverbanks in hopes of shooting them as they passed by. Major Washington and the Continental Dragoons thwarted this plan by posting one Dragoon in each boat so that if fired upon Gen. Pickens' men would be firing upon their own men. The British prisoners were safely transported to Savannah. Jeff Armstrong

This week's featured article on my Best of Confederate Veteran site is the origen of the Poem, "The Conquered Banner" by Father Abram Joseph Ryan of Augusta, GA. "Perhaps no poem ever touched and thrilled the hearts of the people of the South as did the " Conquered Banner," by Father Ryan. It came from the heart of the poet at the time when the Southland stood in grief and in untold sorrow. Though his face wore a serious and almost sad aspect, he dearly loved to gather children about him, as he seldom spoke to older people. ... a young lady from the South... related to him the following beautiful and touching incident in the poet's life. The little story is as follows: "One Christmas - I was then a little girl," says the young lady - "I came to Father Ryan with a bookmark, a pretty little scroll of the 'Conquered Banner,' and begged him to accept it. I can never forget how his lips quivered as he placed his hands upon my head and said (a little kindly remembrance touched him so): 'Call your little sisters, and I will tell them a story about this picture. Do you know, my children,' he said as we gathered about his knee, 'that the "Conquered Banner" is a great poem? I never thought it so,' he continued in that dreamy, far-off way so peculiarly his own; 'but a poor woman who did not have much education, but whose heart was filled with love for the South, thought so, and if it had not been for her this poem would have been swept out of the house and burned up, and I would never have had this pretty book-mark or this true story to tell vou.' " THE CONQUERED BANNER Father Abram Joseph Ryan Furl that Banner, for 'tis weary, Round its staff 'tis drooping dreary; Furl it, fold it, it is best; For there's not a man to wave it, And there's not a sword to save it, And there's not one left to lave it In the blood which heroes gave it, And its foes now scorn and brave it -- Furl it, hide it -- let it rest. Take that banner down -- 'tis tattered; Broken is its staff and shattered; And the valiant hosts are scattered Over whom it floated high. Oh! 'tis hard for us to fold it, Hard to think there's none to hold it, Hard that those who once unrolled it Now must furl it with a sigh. Furl that Banner! Furl it sadly -- Once ten thousands hailed it gladly, and ten thousands wildly, madly, Swore it should forever wave, Swore that foeman's sword should never Hearts like theirs entwined dissever, Till that flag should float forever O'er their freedom or their grave. Furl it! for the hands that grasped it, And the hearts that fondly clasped it, Cold and dead are lying low: And that Banner, it is trailing, While around it sounds the wailing Of its people in their woe. For, though conquered, they adore it, Love the cold, dead hands that bore it, Weep for those who fell before it, Pardon those who trailed and tore it, And, oh! wildly they deplored it, Now to furl and fold it so. Furl that Banner! true 'tis gory, Yet 'tis wreathed around with glory, And 'twill live in song and story, Though its folds are in the dust; For its fame on brightest pages, Penned by poets and by sages, Shall go sounding down the ages, Furl its folds though now we must, Furl that Banner, softly, slowly, Treat it gently -- it is holy -- For it droops above the dead; Touch it not -- unfold it never, Let it droop there, furled forever, For its people's hopes are dead!

Dear folks: ---------- Stumbling along looking for something else to excite the gray matter between my ears...I found an old beat up copy of a book that had five seperate rubber stamps inside including my local library. -------------------- It was compiled by Paul L. ROY of Gettysburg, PA in 1950. It was published and distributed by THE BOOK MART, Gettysburg, PA. ------------------------------ Page 52 banner says "The Last Reunion of the Blue and Gray" and next on page 53 the banner states "Tented City". ---------------------------------------- They took great pains to notify all of those who attended the 50th reunion in 1913 to make reservations to the 1938 gathering. Needless to say the number of responses were appropriate due to the fact that time has stretched its arm out to call them home. -------------------------------------------------- The GEORGIA attendees are listed on page 52 and 53.

Hi all, I'm looking for information on a James A. LENNOX b:1861 in Ga. I'm not sure where I just found this info on 1900 IT Ok census. He Married Amanda not sure of last name possibly RALLY b: 1875 Ga. They were m:1887 I found the birth of there 1st child Elmer born in Al in 1888 so I'm not sure if they moved there after marriage or if they married in Al. I've checked some of Ga. databases and noticed that there were not many LENNOX's in that area. Now or then. Any info at all will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanking you all. Sharla Linex

Is this the same Milly Mosley that married Edward Coody? Mary

Dee, would it be possible to check for a Archebald (Bally or Baldy) Alford and an Elizabeth (possibly Bullard)? The date would have been around 1810.

You got an answer and I don't think anybody lied to you Burke was the only county DIRECTLY formed from St. George's Parish HOWEVER Screven was later formed from Burke 14 dec 1793 Bullock was formed from Screven 1796 Emanuel fro Bullock 1812 Johnson from Bullock 1858 Jenkins from a mixture of the above 1905 Tombs from Emanuel 1905 Candler from Bullock, Emanuel, Tattnall 1914 Evans from Bullock and Tattnall 1914 Treutlen from Emanuel and Montgomery 1917 So watch out your one little parcel of land could have been in any one of these counties yet once was in St. George's Parish.

Gerald, Guess it depends on what they mean by "licensed by your organization." In Oregon, at least, there is a place on every marriage license where I must list my the county in which my 'license" was issued. So it is the state that issues that license. I know, from discussion with colleagues all across te country, that something similar is usually true in most states. I know nothing of Washington specifically. So perhaps there is more variance than I suspected. Didn't mean to mislead anyone.

Webster's New American Dictionary: leach, vt. To wash with water in order to separate some soluble element from, as, to Leach wood ash to obtain lye; to obtain by this process, as, to Leach lye from wood ashes.---n. Perforated vessel used in the manufacture of lye. Leacher n. leech, n. A flat bloodsucking worm that lives in water and was formerly used by doctors to bleed patients. Edge of sail.--vt. To heal. Pat, in Indiana

Even in my day, they were still using LEECHES in barber shops. A man would come in with a black eye, after a night of fighting, and the barber would take a live LEECH out of a jar and place it under the man's eye on the skin, and the LEECH would attach itself, and suck out the blood. The skin would still be a little blue, but the swelling would go down. Those men must have lived a very rough life back then. Pat, in Indiana

Hi, This is not a connection, but the coincidences are interesting to say the least. My grand aunt, Lula Holcomb was married to a man named Ollie who was killed in a saw mill accident in Alabama. I don't have any exact dates but the time slot you mentioned would be right. I just thought I would share that with you. Happy hunting.
