Her parent were Larkin Wilson and Mary Ann "Polly" Cabaniss. Lucy Ann Rebecca Wilson ans Stephen S. LeSueur were married 10 August, 1837 in Monroe County, GA. Stephen S. LeSueur married (2) Rebecca Mary Mann 2 November 1854 in Spalding County, GA. The above Fannie LeSueur was apparently a daughter by the second marriage. She is said to have been born in 1859. Joe

In checking back through my records, I find that Stephen S. LeSueur was married twice. His second wife was Rebecca Mary Mann, born 1833, daughter of John J. Mann and Mary "Polly" Harper. I am not sure which one of his wives was the mother of the first mentioned Miss Fannie LeSueur. Stephen S. LeSueur was a son of Jordan B. LeSueur and Susannah Harrison of Bolingbroke, GA. My grandfather, Mead Lineberger, had a maternal aunt, Nancy Susan Duke, who married Jordan Ellbridge Mead LeSueur, who was a son of Stephen S. LeSueur and his first wife, Lucy Ann Rebecca Wilson. Nancy Susan Duke LeSueur was a daughter of William Green Duke and Elizabeth Angeline Cole.

The Pike County Journal Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia: November 25, 1892 Jim Ballard The subject of this sketch was a son of the late Powell Ballard who was assassinated by two men in September 1877, Jimmie then being only five years old and was reared by his widowed mother, who leaned up on him for her support in her declining years. He grew up an obedient and industrious boy, ever ready to assist his mother and sisters in anything they asked him to do, and wore a smile that lit up his pallid countenance in the hour of death. After the spirit had fled, it lingered with the lifeless clay. He was kind and obliging to his two elder brothers and his companions were fond of his company – those knowing him best loving him most. A young Englishman who resided in the family at the time of the tragedy said, "I have lost my best friend." Twenty years and two days old he went with his friend Tom Jones to a party at the home of Turner Brown near Liberty Hill, seeming to enjoy the party better than usual. Suddenly there arose a slight difficulty between him and Allen Patterson, a warm friend of the Ballard family. The parties retired to settle the affair followed by some of Patterson's friends who either went out to urge the fight or see it well done. Jones who had accompanied Ballard, saw them step out and knowing that Ballard was unarmed, followed on to see if he got justice. He thought it would be a fair fight without weapons notwithstanding Patterson had an open knife in his hand at first. Ballard exclaimed, "I am not afraid of you [even] if you have got your knife open in your hand," and gave him a sounding lick with his hand. Urged on by accomplices, Patterson then pierced his antagonist to the heart causing immediate death. - S.A.K. Now vacant is the place of one Whose fate we deeply must deplore His earthly course is sadly cut Friend Ballard is no more. I'd rather be Jim Ballard now Than his murderer, Allen P. For he is held in grievous bonds While Jim's forever free. (Transcribed 10/26/02 Lynn Cunningham)

The Pike County Journal Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia: November 4, 1892 Aycock - Madden The marriage of Dr. Aycock of Williamson to Miss Sarah E. Madden of Concord on the evening of the 2nd inst., was one of the events of the season. The ceremony was performed at the Baptist Church by Rev. Culpepper in a most beautiful and impressive manner. Both bride and groom are well known to our people, of whom they are much admired. Dr. Aycock is of true steel and is rapidly making an enviable reputation in the practice of medicine. His bride is possessed of many charms and we can reasonably expect that they will find great pleasure in the sacred relationship they have assumed., a relationship that begins at the alter surrounded by gaiety and festooned with flowers, and ends at the grave darkened by sorrow and bathed in tears.

The Pike County Journal Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia: October 28, 1892 The Stolen Wagon On the 19th inst. a wagon was stolen from Boyd’s warehouse belonging to Pate Horton, a farmer who lives in Pike county and in its place an old rickety affair was left. Mr. Horton, of course, was very much incensed at this and took every possible means to discover who had made the mistake. After considerable trouble he found out that a party living between Zebulon and Meansville had made the exchange and he went at once to see him and asked that the mistake be rectified. This the party said he would do, and was profuse in his expressions of regret that it should have happened and promised that the wagon should be returned yesterday but Mr. Horton, who spent the day in the city failed to see his vehicle and will have to make the second trip for it. – Griffin Morning Call (Transcribed 10/25/02 Lynn Cunningham)
