Marion-Bibb County GaArchives Biographies.....Clements, Clement 1764 - November 11, 1851 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Debbie McArthur debbiemcarthur@hotmail.com April 24, 2005, 10:29 pm Author: William Frederick Kyzer A Bit of Biographical History by W.F.Kyzer I have heard my mother say that Clem Clements, her paternal grandfather, was seventeen years old, and the son of a widowed mother at the time of the American Revolutionary War. He was a soldier (Calvary I think) under the command of Gen. Morgan, and wrote a song, it was said relative to the Battle of the Cow Pens which ran something like this: The spies returning late at night Brought news that Tarleton was almost in sight; But Morgan 'rose early before 'twas day And placed his army in battle array etc. His home was in South Carolina or was it North Carolina? where the countryside was overrun with tories, that is Americans whose sympathy was with England, and on one occasion he tethered his horse out in the swamp and stole in home to see his mother. While there a gang of Tories, neighbors, some of whom he had played with in Childhood, came in on him. Don't know what their parley was about but he was forced to run-there being about seven or eight against him-and, although being a swift runner himself, he knew there was one in the "mob" who could and who did equal him in speed. Just as he placed his hands upon the top rail of a fence in order to leap over, the tory, his boyhood friend, with his sword hacked off three of his fingers. At that they let him go and turned back to abuse his mother. It is said that they beat her till her blood ran down into her shoes. A day of vengeance came. He gathered together a party of friends (or was it soldiers?) and surprised and captured them at a place called Moores Bridge where they had met for the purpose of taking a bath in the river-and hanged them. Thus closes so far as I know the history of my mother's paternal Grandfather, the same being my great grandfather who must have been born at least a century before I was. the date of his birth is unkown but must have been about 17?? Next comes his son Gabriel, my mothers father the same being my grandfather whom I never saw, or heard much about save that he was a great fiddler. His family consisted of a wife whose name was Charlotte, and six children, four boys and two girls. Their names being Josiah, Josephus, Jackson, Jacob and Louana who married Jasper Simmons and Elisabeth, my mother, who married James Kyzer, my father. David Kyzer, my Grandfather, was born in the year 1800 and died in 1856, ten years before I was born, therefore I never saw him. His wife, my Grandmother-Redama was her name-was born about the year 1804 and lived to be ninety six years old. Of their family of ten children who lived to rear up families of their own there is not one so far as I am aware living now. Two, Levi and Paul, were killed in the Civil War. Emmanuel was the oldest, then came William, Levi, Mary, Marguerite, James, Paul, Silas, Samuel and Edward. Marguerite married Daniel Black and Mary married Samuel Clark. They both reared large families. So taking them-the Clarks and Blacks and the Kyzers-as a whole, there should be and no doubt is an army of Cousins scattered over the United States of North America and probably some in foreign countries. Additional Comments: Excerpt from journal of William Frederick Kyzer-written prob early 1900s. His father died 1896 and he died 1929. Clement Clements was born ca 1764 Bedford Co., VA died 11 Nov 1851 Marion Co., GA.

A. M. Wolihin died at his home in Macon on the night of the 22nd inst after an illness of about two months. Maj. Wolihin enjoyed an extensive acquaintance among the Masons of the state and especially of this section. He has visited Jackson and rendered valuable services in conferring Masonic degrees. The brethren here regarded him as one of the grandest old men in the order and his death causes much sadness. He was a consistent member of the Baptist church, having accepted that faith many years ago. As a Mason Major Wolihin took second place to none in his love and enthusiasm for the order. For the past ten or twelve years he was the grand secretary of the order and performed the duties of that office as a work of love. He loved the order for its ennobling effects on mankind and no man did more than he to help keep up its high teachings. Major Wolihin was also grand secretary of the grand chapter of Georgia of Royal Arch Masons and deputy inspector general of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Thirty Third degree of Scottish Rite Masons. In his daily walk he practiced charity and benevolence towards his fellow man and although one of the most courageous of men he was as gentle as a woman. Those who knew him best loved him most. No man had more warm personal friends that he and the announcement of his death will be learned with profound regret through the jurisdiction of Georgia.

I chased the Gewinner genealogy for years because we are supposedly related back in the 1840s. When I finally traced them back to the juncture of the families, there was no tie. But in doing so I found a wealth of information about them, and they certainly were an intelligence, creative family. Robert

I was hoping to learn more about the photo of 1912 that was just posted. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/bibb/photos.html I located a monument which I believe is the one shown in the photo. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/3093/pagemm.html The 2nd one on this page -- but there is no date of erection. I thought perhaps it was the occasion for the photo. This photo looks like there are either graves, or markers with information around it. Has anyone visited this site, that might clarify this. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/3093/ This is the main page -- so take time to visit other counties. Frankie has done an amazing job on this one! If anyone has the opportunity to visit the Washington Memorial Library, where the original photo is filed, perhaps the librarians there might have additional information about this monument and/or the reunion itself. I'm sure it was written up in the newspapers. Confederate Reunion 1912 May 7 -8 -9 (If anyone could locate something on microfilm for that time period -- it would be nice to add, and it just might help with the names. I feel certain there were more attending this 3 day convention than are pictured here. These are probably important people -- and perhaps connected to the erection of the monument. (I'm just guessing on this!) Virginia
