Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ea.2ADI/354.466.1.1 Message Board Post: Jean: As noted in the response to W. C. Stokes that prompted your question, Ezekiel Stokes and Charlotte Honeycutt had only one child, a son, John D. Stokes, who was listed as 12 years old in the 1850 Census, thus placing his birth in late 1837 or in the first half of 1838. Given the date of Ezekiel and Charlotte's marriage, January 5, 1838, I think we can assume John D. was born in late spring or early summer 1838. Of course, he may have been born later that year and the 1850 Census information may reflect the anticipated age at his next birthday. On the other hand, it is also possible that Charlotte was already expecting a child when she and Ezekiel married. I do not have a complete list of the children of Charlotte and her second husband, Andrew Jackson Ward, but you will be able to come by this readily enough in checking the Bibb County, Georgia Census records for 1860 and 1870. In 1850, the couple already had five children in addition to Charlotte's son, John D. Stokes. The first five Ward children, with their ages in the 1850 Census, were Amanda, age 8; Sarah, age 6; Josephine, age 4; Douglas, age 2 [named for his grandfather Honeycutt/Hunnicutt], and Thomas, age 5 months. If I remember correctly, the 1850 Census was taken in June, placing Thomas Ward's birth in about February 1850. Again, A.J. and Charlotte may have had other children, which you will find by checking the census records for 1860 and 1870. Christopher Stokes

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ea.2ADI/354.466 Message Board Post: I see that a descendant of Zeke Stokes has already responded to your e-mail of several months back, but I fear she added little that you could use. In your question, you have John Stokes, born 1830, listed as the son of Samuel Stokes, who married Tabitha E. Hardy in 1861. I take it that you have accidentally confused the father for the son, although I do not know John D. Stokes's children were. John Stokes married Tabitha E. Hardy on October 24, 1864, as recorded in Marriage Book C, page 164, Bibb County, Georgia, Marriages. He was the son of Ezekiel C. Stokes and his wife Charlotte Honeycutt, who were married on January 5, 1838, as recorded in Marriage Book A, page 264, Bibb County, Georgia, Marriages. Ezekiel was the brother of my great-great-great grandfather William A. Stokes, who married Elizabeth Skipper in 1847 and Lydia Pink Skipper Watson in 1865. Their sister Elizabeth PencyAnn married Jesse Bartlett in 1842. We do not know how Daniel Stokes, who married Eveline Oglesby in 1846 may be related, but he was in Bibb County and marrying about the same time as the other Stokeses. Additionally, Absolom M. Stokes married Elizabeth Anderson in 1849. Absolom and William's marriages were performed by the same Baptist preacher, Richard A. Cain, who also performed the marriage of Daniel Stokes's widow, Eveline, to Bennett Peeples in 1851. I therefore think Absolom may also be a brother. All were born in South Carolina, but no one has determined the names of these siblings' parents or their point of origin in South Carolina. Ezekiel Stokes lived only a few years beyond his marriage. His widow, Charlotte, married Andrew Jackson Ward in the mid-1840s (I'm sorry, I don't recall the date) and they had a few Ward children in the household in addition to John D. Stokes, Charlotte's son from her first marriage, in the 1850 Census. One of the finest genealogists who ever lived, Bobby Frank Stokes, was a descendant of Ezekiel Stokes through his only child John D. Stokes. Unfortunately, Bobby died March of last year. Still, it should not be too difficult to track down the children and other descendants of John D., who served with his uncle, my grandfather, William, in Company C, 14th Battalion, Georgia Infantry (State Guards), enrolling for six months in August 1863. I should mention that William also had a son named John, whose full name was John Allen Stokes, born about 1850, and thus about ten or eleven years younger than his cousin of the same name. Additionally, William had a son named Samuel, who was by his second wife (his widowed sister-in-law, Lydia Pink Skipper Watson) and who was born sometime after August 1865. I am descended from William A. Stokes through two lines, but both are through his first wife, Elizabeth F. Skipper, who bore William at least seven children in 18 years of marriage. By the way, Charlotte Honeycutt was the daughter of Douglas Honeycutt and his wife, Sarah Farmer. Douglas was born out of wedlock about 1776 in North Carolina. (His father was an O'Neal, according to Bobby Stokes). He settled in Georgia after his mother died in South Carolina, where they had moved in his youth. Charlotte had a brother named Thomas Irvin (?Irwin) Hunnicutt, whose daughter Hester Anne Hunnicutt married John Allen Stokes, Charlotte's nephew by her first husband, Ezekiel. Most Hunnicutts in Bibb County now spell the name "Hunnicutt," although the spelling Charlotte used, as well as other variations, appear in the early records of the county. Assuming you have not already found all of this information, I hope these notes help. If you are at some distance from Macon and should like copies of any of the marriage records, census records, Georgia Confederate service records, or Georgia Confederate pension records, you may write to the Genealogical and Historical Room, Washington Memorial Library, 1180 Washington Avenue, Macon, Georgia 31201-1790. The staff will happily provide photocopies of requested materials for the cost of photocopying and postage. You may also e-mail the request to [email protected] Of course, you may also wish to visit the library should you find yourself in Macon. I am on staff there and will be very happy to assist you. With best wishes, I am, Very truly yours, Christopher Stokes

Bibb County formed so many Regiments for the Civil War....and I wish we could get them on-line.

We'd love to have more information about Enos Riley Hiatt, Indiana photographer. We've obtained a few photocopies of his portraits from a researcher on the Randolph County Indiana list. We've since discovered that another relative, Charles Hiatt, was also a photographer. We think that Charles was Enos' older brother. Yes - Enos Riley Hiatt was my husband's grandfather, and we DO have the Winchester, Indiana front-page story about the death - but there were no FACTS about the accident. Bob was only 9 at the time, and would like to see how the accident was reported in the Georgia newspaper. A Christmas Day fatality of two elderly gentlemen probably was reported. Who was driving? Was there another car involved? (Bob says he remembers that Doc was driving, that somehow he lost control and went off the road and overturned. Yet the Winchester story has it as a "head-on" collision.) That's genealogy for you, though - the more you find out, the more you want to know. Thanks again for your kind response. It's even more important to us right now, as we have FINALLY found a Hiatt first cousin. Enos had two sons - Rea and DeLoe (Bob is DeLoe Hiatt, Jr.). We finally found one of Rea's sons - Bert - in Randolph County, Indiana - and we're scheduled to visit shortly. Warm regards, Karen Hiatt Rocky River, OH (suburb of Cleveland)
