Jones were married in 1847 in Muscogee County. We don't know their parents and don't know why they split up or divorced in about 1857 with two young children who went with their father to Dale County, Alabama. In 1850 they were in Baker County, Ga. but were in Chattahoochee County when the split occured. Any help on their lines would be heaven sent. Thank you.

So far we have identified the following children for Ellender and her McNeely husband: James, born 1804/GA; Joseph, born 1805/GA; Issac C., born 1808/Georgia; Robert P., born 1811/GA; T.G. (probably Thomas Grier), born 1820/Al; Cornelius P. born 1821/AL. The family left Georgia for Alabama between 1815 and 1820 -- probably settling immediately in Perry County, AL. Ellender's McNeely husband died (probably in Perry County, AL) between 1825 and 1830. Ellender stayed in Alabama until the 1850s when she and all of her sons (except Cornelius??) moved to Texas. The sons moved from Alabama to Texas at different times, but from what we know, basically within the 1850-1860 decade: Joseph is in Texas (Henderson County) in 1850; T.G. is in Texas (with Ellender) by the late 1850s ! (Anderson County); James and Robert arrive at different times in the late 1850s in Texas (Smith County -- James having spent a few years in Pickens County, AL); and Issac C. arrives in the early 1860s (Henderson County) having spent a few years in Louisiana. If this family sounds familar to you, we would like to hear from you with any information that you have.

Muscogee-Talbot County GaArchives News.....J.H. Martin New Judge of Chattahoochee Circuit October 3 1907 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Carla Miles cmhistory@mchsi.com August 27, 2003, 10:04 pm The Talbotton New Era The Talbotton New Era Thursday, October 3, 1907 Page 3 Judge J.H. Martin The Ledger feels that the Chattahoochee circuit is to be congratulated upon the appointment by Governor Smith of Judge J.H. Martin to succeed Judge W.A. Little, resigned, to take effect on the 5th of October. Judge Martin is one of the ablest lawyers in the state, and is a man of fine judicial capacity. He is one who likes to work, and a man who is in love with his work is bound to be a success. Judge Martin, upon the death of Governor James M. Smith, in 1890, the latter being judge of the Chattahoochee circuit at the time of his death, was named by the state legislature to succeed him, and he filled the unexpired term with signal ability and satisfaction to all and with great credit to himself. Judge Martin makes quite a personal sacrifice in order to become judge of the superior court of this circuit. He is a lawyer of a large practice, and his annual income from his practice is several times greater than the salary he will receive as judge of the superior court. But in this instance it may be truthfully said that the Judges loss is the peoples gain. The Ledger believes that with Judge Martin on the bench, the position will be filled with entire satisfaction to all, and with great credit to the judge. Columbus Ledger The Talbotton New Era Thursday, October 3, 1907 Page 7 J.H. Martin New Judge Chattahoochee Circuit Columbus, Ga., Oct. 1. The appointment of a judge to succeed Judge W.A. Little, of the Chattahoochee circuit, has been made by Governor Hoke Smith, and, as generally anticipated, Judge J.H. Martin of this city, is the man who has been named. Judge Martins commission has not been issued yet, but he has been notified that he has been named by the governor. Judge Martins appointment will be effective October 6th, the time set by Judge Little for his resignation to take effect. Judge Little mailed his resignation to the governor last Monday, and it was anticipated that the appointment of his successor would be made as soon as Governor Smith returned to the capital from Sylvester, where he delivered a speech last Tuesday. It appears that the appointment was made soon after that time, but it was not made known to the public. Today it became known that the appointment has been made, and Judge Martin was asked if he had received notification, and he said that he has. The appointment of Judge Martin will give very general satisfaction to the people of the circuit. He is a lawyer of fine ability and of a distinctly judicial mind. He has had a good deal of experience on the bench, having served as judge of the Chattahoochee circuit for quite a while and he will again make an excellent judge. Judge Martin was born and reared in Talbot County, Ga., and lived on a farm in that county until he was 17 years of age. He moved to Talbotton, where he clerked in a store for several years, later engaging in the business of merchandising on his own hook, which he pursued for several years. Mr. Martin read law and was admitted to the bar in 1874. He practiced his profession with much success in Talbotton until 1890. In 1880 and 1881 he was elected representative in the legislature from Talbot County. He declined to stand for re-election and never afterwards sought a political office. Upon the death of Governor James M. Smith, in the year 1890, who was at the time of his death judge of the superior court of the Chattahoochee circuit, Mr. Martin was elected by the general assembly of Georgia to fill the unexpired term of Judge Smith. Upon the expiration of his term, January 1893, Judge Martin resumed the practice of law in Columbus, having moved from Talbotton to Columbus in 1891. Since that time Judge Martin has devoted his entire time to the practice of law, and he has enjoyed a very large practice in the counties of the Chattahoochee circuit, and has frequently been retained in the courts, both state and federal, in the other counties of this state, and in Alabama. It is true to say of Judge Martin that during this period he has been on either on one side or the other in nearly every big case that has been tried in any of the counties of the Chattahoochee circuit. Judge Martin is a very able lawyer, and a man of very fine judicial ability. As an evidence of the opinion of the lawyers of the bar in Columbus as to Judge Martins judicial qualifications, more than two-thirds of them signed the petition to Governor Smith asking his appointment to the judgeship to succeed Judge Little.

In the Etta W, Blanchard Book there is a picture of Thomas E. Blanchard. It looks like my son posed for the picture.. The picture of Mr. Blanchard doesn't favor my son , he looks like my son. Hair , eyes, nose, mouth and face right on down to the little beard around his mouth. Mr. Blanchard has the same expression in his eyes as my son. Hie eyebrows and even the way my son wore his hair years ago. I would like to know if anyone has any other pictures of Thomas E.

John, I believe Jan and I found the old location of the Liberty Hill Primitive Baptist Church. With yours and other direction they all seem to lead back to the same place Jan and I visited last Sunday. The second paragraph I wrote was how in 1870 the moved to a new location in Box Springs and in 1904 built a new Church called Liberty Baptist Church and didn't use the word Primitive. Then one person wrote me and said this Church was in Genevia, Ga. not far from Box Springs. John, Thanks for your help. Sandra
Hi John, thanks for the info, very interesting. The Kudzu site is a group of families. The Kimbrough families was done by Sarah Sharpless, My fathers name was Henry KImbrough Reese, his father Thomas Clopton Rees, was married to first Martha Minerva Kimbrough, they had a son Thomas Matt ,a daughter Annie Reese( Grey), . Martha Minerva died and then my gr grand father married her cousin Martha Minerva Kimbrough and they had a bunch more, including my grandfather Henry Butler Reese.When Sarah Sharpless was putting together the page, she didn't know that Thomas Clopton Rees had been married to the two cousins, and didn't realize there were so many more children. Yes I guess I did contribute a small amount but the credit all goes to Sarah.Take care.

I am trying to location of where the Liberty Hill Primitive Baptist Church used to be and the Cemetery accross the street from it.. My gr gr grandpapa Rev. Green Berry Waldrop help constituted the Church in 1837. This is the information I found in the Talbot County's Library. Constituted in 1837, the Liberty Hill Primitive Baptist Church was located originally about three miles from Box Springs on what is not Carl Jones Road, locally called The Hut Road" for a place operated by Miss Lucile Herring during the 1940s. The Hut was a gathering place for young people, and her hot dogs, and hamburgers live in memory. ANOTHER PAGE. The Liberty Hill Baptist Church was the first built abot 3 1/2 miles from Box Springs on what is now known as theHur Road, across from Liberty Hill Cemetery. It was organizeed on April 15, 1851. The members in 1872 including such famailies names as Davie, Youngblood, Williams, Gorman, Davis, Emanuel, Johnson , Weaver,Persons, Helms, Alderman, Hollism Johnson, Harbuck, Harris and Williams. Rev. J. T. Adams was a member in 1903. Other familyu names include Green, Pope, McClung, Browning, Stribling, Funderburk, Edge, Jenkins, Story, Lawhorn, Kemp and many others. At the conferrence in 1900 it was agreed to move the church to Box Springs .Funderburk, Adams and Gorhaam were appointed to plan and build the church.It was completed in November 1904 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, End We drove down to the Old Macon Road and drove past the Fire Department and the road dead in to Hut Road we turn to the right with the east on our right. We found a small Cemetery, but the graves were not old enough to match the dates of the Church. I am looking for the older Liberty Hill Primitive Baptist Church of the 1837 and it's location. Thanks for any help. Sandra maiden name Waldrop Columbus, Georgia
Sandra, #42 - LIBERTY HILL CEMETERY Liberty Hill Cemetery: From Geneva, GA go west on Hwy 80 for 6.4 miles, turn right [north] and go 0.2 mile, take left [west] and go 0.5 mile to cemetery on left of road. Recorded by Morgan 6 Sept 1971. [Note that, where the Hut Road cuts off, a portion of the Macon Road called "Old Macon Road" deviates from the current course of Highway 22, so there may be an additional turn involved to stay on the Macon Road as it ran back in 1971 when these directions were written. - jml] The above is posted with a listing of burials at the cemetery. Note that the listing probably only includes graves marked at the time of the survey. The eight listed graves include the following surnames: HAGERMAN, JAMES, McNEEL, NICHOLSON, RENFROE, TURNER, and WEBB. Death dates for the graves listed span 1847 to 1899. The fact that not one of these surnames matches any on the list of member families in the write-up you quoted makes me wonder if this cemetery has been properly identified. The address is: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/talbot/cemeteries/liberty.txt Does anyone have further information?

Pat, I believe Parthenopy is a given name, and evidently of Greek origin. I have encountered the name Parthenia in one of my families. This name is related to the Parthenon, a temple in Greece dedicated to Athena Parthenos - emphasizing the virginal aspect of Athena (as opposed to the warrior aspect of the goddess, as in Athena Nike, a.k.a "Winged Victory"). Parthenopy is likely derived from Parthenos. It doesn't seem terribly common. On one search engine, I found several sites mentioning a contemporary lawyer named Parthonpy A. BARDIS, who passed the bar in New York state. Did you contribute the data on the KIMBROUGH family posted on the Kudzu Families site? The address is: http://www.kudzufamilies.org/kimbrough.htm John Pat Oelslager wrote: >Does any one have a Mary Parthenopy Reese in their datafiles. >She would have been my gr-gr-gr- grandmother.
