Would anyone know if Elizabeth Clarissa Thompson, widow of Solomon Thompson remarried? bobbie

Does anyone have any information on William Thompson, born 1873, son of Solomon Thompson and Clarissa Eliz Griffith? Was his middle inital C? Did he also work as a boat capt like his older brother Lon? (Elzey) Note to Olivia: I received some stuff from my stepmother where apparently my father had tried to get a copy of his birth cert. The info is hand written but lists the parents of Eleazer Alonzo Thompson as Clarissa Elizabeth GRIFFITH and Solomon WILLIAMSON Thompson. I think the middle name was to say who the mother of Solomon was, who we know was Martha Williamson, Soooo...you were correct and the research I had been sent was wrong. bobbie

Does anyone know where to purchase the book titled "Graves of Montgomery, Treutlen and Wheeler" pub in 1996 by Coleman? Thanks, Linda Carol

Other than her death date, Ginsey's obituary gives little genealogical information. However, it does give an account of her efforts during the war. This obituary appeared twice in Sumter County, Georgia newspapers; 29 August 1877 in the Semi Weekly Republican and 31 August 1877 in the Weekly Republican. DIED On the morning of the 24th inst., at her home in this county, MRS. GINSEY TISON, consort of GIDEON TISON, aged 53 years and 2 days. "Aunt Ginsey" was noted for her kindness of heart, and for unremitting efforts to relieve the sick and all manner of suffering humanity in her reach. During the war her best efforts were directed toward the mitigation of the ills attending the temporary widowhood of the soldiers' wives in her community, many of whom will doubtless drop tears of regret when they hear of "Aunt Ginsey's" death. She was a woman ever ready to commend good deeds, and would have no fellowship with wickness. For twenty-five years she was a consistent member of the Baptist church, and died strong in the faith of a blessed immortality. She leaves a husband, five children and many grandchildren to mourn her departure. She retained consciousness unto the end, and spoke calmly to those around of her hope of heaven urging them to meet her there. "Aunt Ginsey" 's laid beneath the sod, Her soul has winged its way to God. G. R. Judith

Vernon, I think the article said Homer Youmans, not Edenfield. I don't know his relationship to David Edenfield. "Gone But Not Forgotten" gives directions to original gravesite: 'Go down U.S. 1 South and turn right on State Route 297. Go approximately 1/2 mile and turn left to the second gate on James Carmichael's farm. Follow the road across the field to the head of the branch. The grave marker is in a plot of chinaberry trees.' As I said, I could not find the cemetery site when I went back a few years ago.

This is the first Revolutionary grave to be marked by this chapter, which was organized in June 1931. The regent, Mrs. W. Henry Flanders of Swainsboro, was in charge of the impressive exercises, which were attended by a large representation of the descendants of David Edenfield and of the members of the David Emanuel chapter and of the Adam Brinson chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Representative W.W. Larsen of Washington, D.C., and of Dublin, Ga., was the speaker for the occasion. The program opened with the bugle call, after which America was sung by the assembly. The invocation was given by Mrs. Anna Edenfield Brown, acting chaplain of the Governor David Emanuel chapter. Mrs. Brown is a descendant of David Edenfield. Mrs. Flanders, the regent, welcomed the guests and told of the joy the chapter felt in honoring a Revolutionary war hero. A history of the Edenfield family and the service of David Edenfield, his ancestry, was given by Mr. H.C. Edenfield, who then introduced Mr. Larsen, who is connected by marriage with the family. The patriotic address which he gave made a deep impression on the audience. A quartet, Keep the Faith, was sung by Mrs. Adele Holloman, Mrs. Hugh Fillingim, Mr. Fillingim and Mr. Dixon. Mrs. D.L. Bland of Garfield, a member of the Adam Brinson chapter, D.A.R., and a sister of Mrs. Anna Brown, acting chaplain of the Governor David Emanuel chapter, made a gracious impromptu speech of appreciation of the tribute paid to this Revolutionary ancestor. Mrs. John J. Moore, a granddaughter, and believed to be the nearest living descendant of David Edenfield, unveiled the monument, while little June Coleman, a winsome three year old descendant of the hero, placed a lovely basket of roses on the grave. Mrs. Anna Brown and Mrs. D.L. Bland placed beautiful bouquets of chrysanthemums on the grave. Master Homer Durden, Jr., and Master Marion Watson, descendants of the hero, carried the flags, which were displayed at the entrance of the cemetery. Taps was sounded by Bob Pound. The ! de! scendants who are members of the Governor David Emanuel Chapter are Mrs. John R. Powell, Jr., a daughter of Mrs. John J. Moore, who had the honor of unveiling the marker; Mrs. Homer Durden, Mrs. Steve Williams, Jr., Mrs. Anna Brown, Mrs. Nora Coleman and Mrs. Adele Holloman. NOTE FOLLOWING NEWS ARTICLE: In the spring of 1978, I (Norman E. Masters) visited with James L. Carmichael in Swainsboro, Ga. I was accompanied by P. Douglas Fowler, a member of the faculty of Georgia Southern College in Statesboro, Ga. Mr. Carmichael took us out to his farm to a wooded area adjacent to his property, which he stated made up part of the old Lot Youmans (Homer Youmans) place. He said the farm had recently been sold to Marvin Collins and Mr. Collins cleared the wooded area, saying he did not realize there was a cemetery there until it was cleared except for one gravestone. Mr. Carmichael stated that as a child and a young man he remembered there were a number of gravestones there. The gravestone that was left still standing was one erected by the D.A.R. to David Edenfield, and had the inscription, "David Edenfield, Weakly's Regt., S.C. Troops, Revolutionary War, Jan. 19, 1761." There was a dented gravesite to the left of this marker. Through talking to members of the family who ha! d ! seen this cemetery, we believe there were about 18 graves there. Up from the cemetery there was a draw and a group of trees which gave the appearance that a house might have been there at one time. Old timers in the family have stated that David Edenfield's house was in sight of the cemetery. A search was made for other gravestones but no more could be located. It is assumed that David's wife was buried in the grave next to his, and probably his son, Jesse and his wife were there, also. NOTE FROM OLIVIA: I, too, visited this burial site in 1978, shortly after it had been bulldozed. I saw David Edenfield's marker and several broken pieces of other tombstones scattered about in disarray, partially buried in the dirt. In recent years, I discovered the David Edenfield stone has been moved to the Moore Cemetery near Nunez, but there is no explanation accompanying about the destroyed cemetery and that it is not the true place of his burial. I also went back to the general area of the original Edenfield burial ground, but could no longer find the site.
