Pike-Spalding County GaArchives Obituaries.....Howell, Mary Knight June 15, 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: Lynn Cunningham http://www.rootsweb.com/~archreg/vols/00011.html#0002535 June 9, 2006, 6:18 pm Pike County Times-Journal, Zebulon, Ga., Friday, June 21, 1907 Mrs. Mary Howell Passes to Her Reward Mrs. Mary Howell died Saturday night at eight o’clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. S.S. Barrett near Zebulon, being eighty-four years old. She was ill with gastritis only four days and up to the attack of the sickness which resulted in her death, she was in good health considering her old age. She was born in North Carolina in March 1828 and came to Georgia with her parents who settled in Spalding county when quite a young girl. She was married to William W. Howell in Spalding county in 1853 and settled near Lifsey Springs. Her maiden name was Mary Knight. Her husband enlisted in the confederate army as a member of Co. G., 66th Ga. and died in the service at Marietta, Ga. in January 1864. He left the subject of this sketch a widow with eleven children. To raise this large family of children and especially at such a time as in reconstruction days, was indeed a tremendous undertaking. But she set about this duty with great zeal and Christian fortitude. Her oldest child, Mr. James H. Howell, now an honored citizen of the county returned home at the close of the war after four service, and gave her all the assistance he could in the capacity of a father of the family. This good woman toiled without ceasing and without complaint to make provisions for this large family of children. She reared them under a Christian influence and their lives and character are today a living testimonial to the many excellent qualities of their mother. She lived to see her eleven children grown and raising families of their own. The first break in the family circle, after the father’s death, occurred two years ago in the death of her son Mr. W.E. Howell. In early life the deceased united herself with the church and lived a pious, Christian life. She was not demonstrative but lived her religion, doing all the good she could she could, charitable to all. She was devoted to her children and they to her. In her old days it must have been a source of much joy to her to reflect upon a well spent life, a part of which was lived in trying times and under adverse circumstances. None ever entered her home without a warm welcome nor left without feeling the warmth of a gentle, Christian character. She loved the church and always attended when health permitted. Her unselfish solicitude for her friends and loved ones was always evident and while she has always continued to enjoy their society, she has for several years, realized that her active life was about over and with resignation has awaited the Divine call to eternal life. Truly a good woman has gone to her reward. She was the mother of eleven children, ten of whom survive her, namely, J.H. Howell of Zebulon; Mrs. Mary Rucker, of Barnesville; S.A. Howell, of Lifsey; Mrs. Amanda Bowden, of Anniston Ala.; Mrs. Sarah Storey, of Lifsey; Mrs. Adaline Marshall, of Oakland; Mrs. Jane Langford, Lafayette, Ala.; W.E. Howell, of Zebulon (deceased); Mrs. Catherine Calloway, of Sunny Side; Mrs. Ida Barrett, of Zebulon and Sheriff C.L. Howell, of Thomaston. Impressive funeral services were held at Fincher’s church of which she was a member on Sunday afternoon and conducted by her pastor, Rev. Mr. Davis, of Milner, after which all that was mortal of this good old mother in Israel was tenderly laid to rest by the side of her devoted husband, where she now sleeps in peace. The interment was in the Mangham burial ground near Beaulah [sp] church. (Transcribed 6/9/06 Lynn Ballard Cunningham) Additional Comments: Note: Mary Knight and William W. Howell were married 2 Jan 1842, not 1853 as reported in this newspaper article.

I do not see a connection but it is always good to check. I do not know who Isaac Jacksons parents were. I only know he was in Hancock County Ga. and then to Upson County about 1830 - 1840. There were three others in Hancock County who could have been brothers to him but I am not sure. My Isaac's wife was named Mary Isaac died May 1842 in Upson County, GA. I know of only four of there children and the will mentions there were others. Mary J. Jackson John Green Jackson Green W. Jackson Furney F. Jackson is my connection he married Nancy E. Childs 1849

My GGgrandfather, Fielding Franklin Jackson married Elizabeth Sims on May 14, 1829 in Pike Co., GA. They moved to Marion Co., GA between 1830 & 1840 where they lived near Fielding Franklin Jackson's brothers Enoch & Asher and sister Damarious Jackson Nutt (wife of Samuel M. Nutt). When Fielding F. Jackson died in 1854 his wife Elizabeth Sims Jackson, brothers Enoch & Asher Jackson, and sister Damarious Jackson Nutt and their families moved to Scott Co., MS. I am double kin to the above Jackson family through Fielding F. Jackson's dau. Nancy Mapp Jackson Kitchings and through Fielding F. Jackson's sis. Damarious Jackson Nutt. The parents of these Jackson children were Isaac & Nancy Mapp Jackson. Isaac Jackson was born in Wrightsboro, GA and died in Jasper Co., GA. I would be interested in your Jackson history.
