John was born May 2, 1825 in South Carolina, and died Jan 4, 1918 in Dalton (Whitfield Co) GA. The story goes that the weather was too bad to take John back to Pickens County to bury him beside Comfort, so he was interred in West Hill Cemetery, on the ledge over the rock building, with a view of the fenched-in Confederate section. John was a surgeon with 4th GA Infantry, CSA. John was also an accomplished blacksmith and gunsmith. John came to GA about 1845, married Comfort on May 18, 1847 in Gilmer County. Comfort was born Mar 13, 1829 in SC, died Jun 2, 1888, and buried at Bethesda Baptist Church in city of Nelson, on Pickens - Cherokee County line. John is pictured in "Pickens County Georgia Heritage 1853 - 1998" (Don Mills, publisher) with two lengthy articles.

A brief history of Georgia's Warwoman When grading crews went out that fateful day in 1912 to work on the Elberton and Eastern Railroad, they could not know the effect they were about to have on Georgia History. These men were about to prove that a Georgian by the name of Nancy "Warwoman" Hart actually existed. Near a piece of property she once owned they uncovered the grave of six men from the late 1700's, probably British, and changed the way America viewed a woman whose exploits had grown to mythical proportions. The first story about Nancy Hart appeared in the Milledgeville Southern Recorder in 1825. "One day six Tories paid Nancy a call and demanded a meal. She soon spread before them smoking venison, hoe-cakes, and fresh honeycomb. Having stacked their arms, they seated themselves, and started to eat, when Nancy quick as a flash seized one of the guns, cocked it, and with a blazing oath declared she would blow out the brains of the first mortal that offered to rise or taste a mouthful! She sent one of her sons to inform the Whigs of her prisoners. Whether uncertain because of her cross-eyes which one she was aiming at, or transfixed by her ferocity, they remained quiet. The Whigs soon arrived and dealt with the Tories according to the rules of the times." Over the years many historians began to debunk the stories of Nancy Hart. Finding the grave so close to Hart property gave the story such creedence that today it is accepted as historical fact. On the northeast border with South Carolina, Hart County is the only county in Georgia named for a woman.

My wife's grandmother was EVA PEARL BOYD b. June 12, 1897 in TAYLOR COUNTY, GEORGIA d. 1970 in PHENIX CITY. Unfortunately little is known making research difficult if not imposssible. I know from EVA's application for a Social Security card that her parents were JOSEPH BOYD and NETTIE WADSWORTH. I also know That in 1945 EVA was living in DADEVILLE, ALABAMA. She also lived for a time in PHENIX CITY, ALABAMA. The only surviving daughter says she was born in 1925 in MANCHESTER, MERIWETHER COUNTY, GEORGIA. My wife's mother was born in FAIRFAX, CHAMBERS COUNTY, ALABAMA IN 1929. An online cousin has told me that NETTIE WADSWORTH is tied into the CHAPMAN family and verified that EVA's father name was JOSEPH . EVA PEARL married NOAH WEBSTER SINGLETON marriage date unknown. I have a picture of EVA and her grandmother and Eva's firstborn( b.1913). The child appears to be about two years old. (dating picture at about 1915) Eva's grand mother looks like she is indian. EVA had two brothers JOHN and BURL. no dates/location are known about them. I did note that JOHN was listed in her obit as living in NORTH CAROLINA.. Other than having no information my problem is tying this family to parents/grandparents etc. Any input will be appreciated.
