Harris and Seaborn Konce Halstead are quite lengthy but very interesting. Both were filed in Schley County, but the Halstead application may be of interest to some on the Marion County list as his witneses are from Marion Co.

Add'l Info: I have been unable to locate any recorded marriage in Schley County for James Gilmore and Marie Ann Duke.

Gilmore b. 1820 d. 11-25-1904, m.1st Mary Duke b. 6-25-1823 d. 11-07-1867, m.2nd Mary A.C. Gilmore b. 1838 d. 12-28-1907." This would tend to indicate that perhaps Carrie Hearn was mistaken about the maiden name of the lady at the marriage she witnessed on July 8, 1869?

He is not physically able to make living for himself. We further say on oath that the physical condition of applicant renders him unable to labor at any work or calling sufficient to earn a support for himself, and that we have no interest in said pension being allowed. B.L. Bridges, MD W.D. Sears, MD Sworn to and subscribed before me this the 28th day of Feby. 1898. Phil E. Taylor, Ordinary. Subsequent pension filings indicate that he was a resident of the state of Georgia since "22nd day of April 1822," which I surmise would have been William Fulford's birth date. I have been unable to locate his deah date or burial place. His last pension re-application was dated January 8th, 1901.

http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/histcountymaps/talbot1899map.htm Really appreciate those who jumped in to help out on Mt. Zion Baptist Church.... located in Baldwinville -- and you can see it on the map url. Seems to be in south east Talbot -- sort of between Howard and Daviston (Taylor county communities) (so now I'll try to find out more about Baldwinville Lynda said the church was still in existence in 1968. Does anyone know NOW if it still exists. And I'm still trying to figure out if the Columbus Association is Primitive or Missionary Baptist......and if there is a history of the Association on-line anywhere. Looks like the cemetery that I quoted is definitely a different one... as Baldwinville is not on the Flint River. Virginia Crilley

Carla's obit on Rev. John S. Searcy prompted me to get curious about Mt. Zion Church. I used Judge Jordan's book. If anyone finds more info in one of the Rockaway Volumes, please share. And if you can help identify any of these early members....please do: I just took a guess that this was Primitive Baptist. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Does it still exist today? Location: Near Marion Academy (and I don't know where that was) So if someone can help me this, I'd appreciate it. We have a tiny cemetery on-line: (could this be the same one??)
