Griffith, of Columbus which occurred on Wednesday evening June the 28th. Little Howard had gone down to the river with some of his companions to go in bathing in the Chattahoochee. Not being accustomed to the sport and the water being very swift and deep at the point where he entered, in an unguarded moment he sank out of sight and drowned. The body of little Howard was recovered after a diligent search. Failing to find the body dynamite was used and the body of little Howard was found on Friday morning three hundred yards below where he entered. We cannot picture and can only imagine the bereavement of the mother’s heart when the sad news of the death of her son was made known to her. He was a bright and affectionate boy about ten years old. His remains were brought to Reynolds on Friday and interred in the cemetery at Crowell on Saturday.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: CLAPP, DILLARD, PRINCE, SHEPHERD Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Xd.2ADE/1474.1 Message Board Post: <<Subject: RE: Slaves "owned" and employed at Clapp's Factory - 1848, 1862 Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2004 14:46:20 EDT From: Lucy <takel2@aol.com> I am curious about the slave named Shepherd. I wonder if that's the given name or surname? My g-g-grandfather Prince (Shepherd) b. 1818, occupation is listed as Shoe-maker. I am now curious - could he have worked at the Shoe Factory (Clapps). - Lucy>> Lucy, Thanks for your reply. Since other slaves named in the deed are called by common given names (Jake, Dick), I would guess that Shepherd is what that man was called, although whether this was his given name or surname, I can't say. It's quite possible that this name indicates a connection with a SHEPHERD family. There is no White person I have found connected with Clapp's Factory who is named SHEPHERD - it's possible the company "bought" this slave from an individual whose last name was SHEPHERD and the slave retained that name. As far as I have been able to tell, there were very few deeds involving the transactions of slave "property" that were recorded with the superior court, so it's hard to determine how the company came to "own" these individuals. Also, it is my understanding that, at the time of emancipation, many (perhaps most?) of the freed slaves took the surname of their former owners. In the case of slaves owned by a business such as the Columbus Factory (the company that was operating Clapp's Factory at the close of the Civil War), I don't know how the slaves arrived at the surnames they adopted. At any rate, I am interested to know more about your Prince SHEPHERD, especially since he was a shoemaker. If he lived in Muscogee County, GA, there's a chance he was employed at Clapp's Factory - although I must point out that the Confederate Quartermaster's Depot at Columbus, under the direction of Major Francis W. "Frank" DILLARD, took over the production of shoes in the city. The workshop there employed a large crew of workmen, mostly black, and produced more than 300,000 pairs of shoes between October 1861 and June 1864. At full capacity in 1863, the shop employed more than 500 workers producing more than 5,000 pairs of shoes per week. I don't know if the Confederate States Army kept written records of who their Black workers were during this period, or if such records have survived, but if so, that would be worth investigating. Thanks for your message, and do please let me know more about your gg-grandfather. John in TX retrofit@flash.net

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Xd.2ADE/1475 Message Board Post: Seeking information on a casino located at North Highlands (later Bibb City?). In a 1966 “Our Town” newspaper column about Clapp’s Factory, W. C. WOODALL states: “A favorite walk-way to Clapp’s Factory was from North Highlands. After the trolley car line was built, in the early [eighteen] nineties, we could ride to the newly-built casino and then walk from there up to the factory.” A map by John HILL, M.E., titled “North Highlands Property” (March 1896), showing the proposed site of the North Highlands dam, features a “cacino,” apparently located in the vicinity of Beechwood Heights and Hemlock Drive at what is now the northern extremity of Bibb City – I believe this is situated on land lot #88 in the 8th Land District of Muscogee County. Any information on the location, ownership, and history of the casino would be appreciated – thanks.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: CLAPP, MEIGS, MYER, SHEPHERD, STEWART Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Xd.2ADE/1474 Message Board Post: In 1848, Charles Dawson STEWART sold to his son-in-law Henry Vincent MEIGS an undivided one-eighth interest in the property of the Columbus Factory (a cotton mill and related operations, also known as Clapp’s Factory), including an undivided one-eighth interest in two slaves, Myer and Sheppard, engaged in work at the mill. This factory was located three miles north of Columbus in Muscogee County, GA. In 1862, MEIGS sold to Julius Rowe CLAPP his one-eighth interest in the factory property, including interest in Negro slaves named Shepherd, John, Jake & Dick, who were owned and employed by the Columbus Factory. Had Myer died in the interim, and if so, is he buried in the Clapp’s Factory Cemetery? (All of the graves but one there are now unmarked.) Note incidentally that, during 1861, the 30 slaves employed in the tannery and shoe factory at Clapp’s Factory tanned 5,000 sides of leather and manufactured 12,000 pairs of heavy shoes for field workers. I believe some of the slaves at Clapp's Factory were engaged as domestic servants, and some probably worked in other trades as well. Any suggestions on tracking down records of these slaves or locating their descendants would be appreciated, and I will be glad to share further information about Clapp’s Factory.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: ALLEN, CHAPMAN, CHANDLER, CLAPP, MILSTON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Xd.2ADE/1473 Message Board Post: On 31 DEC 1835, James A. CHAPMAN of Warren Co, GA, sold to Ebenezer C. CHANDLER and Julius R. CLAPP of Muscogee Co, GA, two Negro slaves: Lucinda, a woman about 25 years of age, and her youngest child, Allen, then four months old. CHANDLER and CLAPP were business partners in Columbus, GA. In 1837, they became invested in a cotton mill (later called Clapp's Factory) three miles north of the city. This mill had been founded in 1834 by James SHIVERS and several partners, some of whom came from Warren Co, GA, and had been associated with James CHAPMAN. CLAPP bought CHANDLER's half interest in the business when he died in 1847 from CHANDLER's heirs. The company "property" included the following Negro slaves: Allen, a man about forty years old; Lucinda, his wife about thirty four; Milston, a boy about twelve; Joe, a boy about ten; Evelina, a girl about eight; Martha, a girl about six; Agnes, a girl about four; and Ella, a girl about two. (I wonder if Milston is the same as the child named Allen in the 1835 deed?) CLAPP remained at Clapp's Factory until his death in 1876. I am interested in learning more about this slave family and their descendants. I am particularly curious to find out if any of these folk are buried in the Clapp's Factory Cemetery (all of the graves but one are now unmarked). I have further information on CLAPP, CHANDLER, and Clapp's Factory I will be glad to share. I will also be glad to provide transcriptions and photocopies of the above deeds to anyone who would care to have them - thanks.
