They married probably in the mid or late 1850s (still haven't found a marriage record for them), and were enumerated in Taylor Co. in 1860, 1870, and 1880 -- never with any children in their household. They disappeared after 1880; I don't know if they moved or died or what. In 1859, George W. Hodges sold his 1/5 part of a tract of land that had originally been granted to Nathan Taunton; this 1/5 share would have been Martha Taunton's share of her father Nathan's estate.

My GG-Grandmother, Nancy BATEMAN, was born in Macon Co, GA on 04 Sept. 1830 (was married to John Fletcher HARMON). I believe that her parents were living in Macon Co, GA. for a time before & after her birth. Their names were Theophilus BATEMAN, his wife, Jemima McDONALD. They were married in Bibb Co, GA. 15 Oct. 1829. They had 6 children, 3 boys and 3 girls. I have only the birthdate of Nancy. Nothing is known by me of Jemima's McDonald family, so any info. about them would also be appreciated. On the Washington County, GA, 1830 Federal Census Theophilus's name appears along with several other BATEMAN's names. I believe Bryant BATEMAN is his father, & Claibourn BATEMAN his grandfather. At the time (1830) there are three boys & one girl shown in Theophilus' household under 10 years of age. One young man between 16 to 18 & two young women between 16 to 26 years of age.

OPPOSED TO THE NAME REBELLION. Rev. J. William Jones, University of Virginia, July 18: Let me add my earnest and hearty protest against calling our war the " Rebellion. " It was not a rebellion, and we were not rebels or traitors. George Washington was a rebel because he fought against properly constituted and legal authority, and if he had failed he would probably have been tried as a rebel, and executed as a traitor. But Jefferson Davis was no rebel when he led the great struggle to maintain proper authority, to uphold law and constitution, and when the Federal Government held him as a prisoner they never dared to bring him to trial, because they knew, under the advice of Chief Justice Chase and the ablest lawyers at the North, that they could, never convict him of treason under the Constitution and laws of the United States. I remember that one day down at Beauvoir, several years before his death, the grand old chief of the Confederacy said to me alluding to this question: "Rebellion indeed! How can a sovereign State rebel? You might as well pay that Germany rebelled against France, or that France, who was overwhelmed in the conflict, rebelled against Germany, as to say that the sovereign States of the Confederacy rebelled against the North or the government. O that they had dared give me the trial I so much coveted, and for which I so earnestly begged, in order that I might have opportunity to vindicate my people and their cause before the world and at the bar of history! They knew that I would have been triumphantly acquitted, and our people purged of all taint of treason, and they never dared to bring my case to trial." Is it not time, then, for those people to cease talking about treason and rebellion, and to stop their insults in calling us rebels? If there were any rebels in that great contest) they were north of the Potomac and the Ohio the men who trampled under foot the Constitution of our country and the liberties bequeathed us by our fathers. Gen. Lee always spoke of the war as the "great struggle for Constitutional freedom," and that is a truthful and distinctive title which I prefer. " The War Between the States" was the title given by A. H. Stephens, and is a good one. "Confederate War" would do, but that implies that we made the war. which, of course, we did not, our policy being peace. The " War of Coercion," or the "War against State Sovereignty" would express it, but the "Rebellion," never

Hodges (b. c1823) and his wife Martha (b. c1833), listed in the Taylor Co., GA census in 1860, 1870, and 1880. Was Martha the daughter of Nathan Taunton (d. 1841, Macon Co., GA)? Nathan Taunton had 5 children, including a daughter named Martha, and in 1859, George W. Hodges, along with Benjamin F. Mitchell and Nathan's son John W. Taunton, sold 3/5 of a tract of land in Macon Co. that had been owned by Nathan Taunton. Was George W. Hodges selling his wife's share of her father's estate? George and Martha apparently had no children, and I have no clue whether they died or left Taylor Co. after 1880, but they're not there in the 1900 census, and I can't find them listed in any of the cemeteries there. > > Does anyone recognize this George and Martha? > > Michelle Taunton > mtaunton@mindspring.com. > > > This is an automatically-generated notice. > > <http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ga/Macon?admin> > >

Mitchell and John W. Mitchell of Macon Co., GA in the mid-1800s, and trying to find any connections with the Taunton family of Macon and Taylor Counties. In 1841, Nathan Taunton was murdered in Macon Co., leaving 5 children: Martha, John W., Penelope, Melissa, and Nathan/Matthew. Nathan's land was divided into fifths, and in Sept. 1859, John W. Taunton, George W. Hodges (who had a wife named Martha who I suspect to be Martha Taunton), and Benjamin F. Mitchell sold 3/5 of the former Nathan Taunton land to John W. Mitchell. Later that same month, William P. Whittington (husband of Penelope Taunton) sold his 1/5 of the land to John W. Mitchell. Either John W. Mitchell already owned the other 1/5 himself, or his purchase of it isn't recorded, but in Jan. 1860, John W. Mitchell sold the full tract to Nathan Bryan. > > Now, I can account for how John W. Taunton, William Whittington, and George Hodges came into possession of their fifths, but how did Benjamin F. Mitchell and John W. Mitchell come into possession of theirs? Melissa is the only other daughter of Nathan Taunton, but she married Thomas Downing, and they're listed in the 1860 Taylor Co., GA census. What happened to Nathan/Matthew Taunton? > > There are lots of other records showing interactions between the Mitchells and Tauntons throughout the mid-1800s in both Macon Co. and Taylor Co.
