I came across this family listed as: Columbus SMITH wht male 34 farmer GA Frances SMITH why fem 29 GA Emily TAYLOR wht fem 27. Wrong age for my Christopher C. SMITH. Anyone have any clues? Thanks, Diane researching: SMITH, SULLIVAN, WALKER, GERMANY, HUGULEY

I encourage all list members to share their family stories. Having stories makes us more than just 'name collectors'. This is the story of Powell F. Ballard. Enlisted 4 March 1862 as a Private Served Georgia H Co. 44th Inf Reg. GA "Roster of the Confederate Soldiers of Georgia 1861- 1865 Vol IV," by Lillian Henderson: Wounded and disabled at Ellison's Mill, Va. June 26, 1862. Discharged Wounds in 1864 In 1862, when Powell enlisted, he would have been 27 years old. Family legend: In 1877 Powell Ballard was murdered. He had been to Barnesville, Georgia, carrying a bale of cotton to market. On his return home, two Negroes walking in the direction of Zebulon, asked for a ride. Mr. Ballard, being a very kind man, told them to get in the wagon. When they reached a spot in the road in the flat, one of them shot him through the back of the head and supposedly killed him instantly. They then took forty dollars out of his clothing and fled. Two or three other Negroes saw them in Mr. Ballard's wagon and gave an accurate description of them to the law. Mr. W.P. Bussey, after two or three months of hard work finally found them. He was later elected sheriff of Pike County. Mr. Ballard was the father of R.S. Ballard of the Second District, and Mrs. Elijah McKinley, of near Zebulon, on the Jackson Road, also of Mrs. Ed McKinley and Mrs. Aldine McKinley, and William Powell Ballard of the Second District. At the time of Powell's death in November, Mary Frances [his wife] was pregnant. She delivered a daughter the following April and named her [Elizabeth Bussey Ballard] in honor of the man who found the killers of her husband. This is the newspaper article written 27 years later that I recently found: Pike County Times-Journal Zebulon, Georgia Friday March 3, 1905 Pardon Asked After Many Years Tom Childs, who was sent to the Penitentiary 27 years ago from this County asks for his Freedom For the third time in three years an application for the pardon of Tom Childs, serving a life sentence for murder, has been filed with the prison commission. The application originally drawn by the late ex-governor James S. Boynton, will be called to the attention of the commission the third time by Secretary Goodloe H. Yancey at the request of the prisoner. Childs was sent up for life from this county in 1878, twenty seven years ago, since which time he has made a model prisoner. He is now in failing health, and the prison physician, it is said, fears he will die suddenly at any time. Although the petition is a negro, the case is of more than usual interest and will doubtless receive careful consideration at the hands of the prison commission. Childs and a negro named Ed Dumas, both residents of Barnesville, Pike County, were convicted at Zebulon of the murder of a white man named Ballard. They were sentenced to life imprisonment, the solicitor-general being unable to establish which of the two men actually committed the deed. This was at the spring term of the superior court in 1878. It seems Ballard was a farmer living near Barnesville. He came to town on the day of the tragedy and brought with him a large sum of money. This he displayed and the negroes saw it. They determined to commit robbery and concocted a plan for the murder of the innocent planter. In the evening when Ballard started home, Dumas accompanied him in a wagon. When they reached a lonely spot several miles from town, they were joined by Childs, who had been waiting. He got in the wagon. Presently Ballard was shot in the back of the head. He died instantly and the negroes escaped for the time being. They were captured, however, tried, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in the penitentiary. After serving fifteen years Dumas died. On his death bed he made a confession, admitting he had fired the fatal shot, but he added that Childs was implicated and would have committed the murder had he not lost his nerve. It is in the strength of this statement and his failing health that Childs begs for a pardon. (Transcribed 9/4/2002 Lynn Cunningham)
R.W. Ballard is Robert W. Ballard, my great grandfather. J.P. Ballard is James Polk Ballard, his brother. They survived, Robert with a wound that eventually crippled him, but lost two other brothers - Henry J. who died at Cold Harbor, and Miles Lafayette, who died at Ellison's Mill. A fourth brother also survived, but was murdered in 1877 in a robbery on a road in Pike.

Pike County Times-Journal Zebulon, GA., Friday, December 21, 1906 Unfortunate Accident Mr. W.M. Caldwell who married Miss Vida Dunn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.D. Dunn, happened to the misfortune about ten days ago of losing his arm. While shredding corn, his left arm was caught in the machine and badly bruised and mangled necessitating its amputation just below the elbow. The unfortunate occurrence is greatly regretted by his friends. He had intended moving near Zebulon to a farm which he recently bought but on account of the unfortunate accident which will impair his services on the farm, he will rent out the land and not move as he previously intended. The shredder is the same machine, the property of Mr. T.C. Sullivan, which a few years ago tore off the arm of Mr. Wash Oxford which resulted in his death a few days afterwards.

Sometimes when you are researching families (especially from afar) and all you have to go on are documents, you miss knowing STORIES about people. Even though this is a tragic story, now you know 'the rest of the story.' What a sad thing this must have been for them. Pike County Times-Journal Zebulon, GA., Friday, November 23, 1906 Kills Brother and Then Himself Milton Pitts, who lives near Moores mill in the Second district of this county, on last Thursday killed his younger half-brother Charles Pitts, and then fired a bullet into his own heart, dying instantly. It is said by some that the cause of the shooting was the intimacy of Charles Pitts with the wife of Milton Pitts. This, however, is denied by some of the citizens of the community and is said to be without foundation. It is said that Milton Pitts recently instructed his wife never to speak to Charley again but these instructions were disregarded and on Thursday he went to the home of Milton for some purpose and addressed some casual remark to Mrs. Pitts whereupon Milton flew into a rage, drew a pistol and fired a ball into the breast of his younger brother, Charley turned to run and received another ball in the back and died in a few minutes in a cotton patch near the scene of the shooting. After giving vent to his passion and viewing the deadly result of his rage, Milton placed the pistol to his own breast and fired and fell dead on the spot. Mrs. Pitts immediately notified the neighbors and soon a big crowd had gathered to witness the unfortunate affair. As to the probable cause of the shooting, another report has it that Milton had been drinking for several weeks and was almost crazed as a result of his continued intoxication. The family of Pitts is a large one and the two deceased men are sons of Gabriel Pitts. The unfortunate affair is greatly regretted by the community.

A few years ago we purchased a paperback book edited by Mary Coleman. She had found the original copy of J. A. McCulloch's diary in an antique store in Chiefland, FL. She was so intrigued by the diary, she decided to have it published. The book is made up of dated journal entries. The main character's are J.A. McCulloch, who is a farmer and a peddler living in Pike Co.; his wife, Ellen Shockley; and other members of the Shockley family. But, he also writes of many of his neighbors in the community and his customers that he delivers to. The book gives an interesting insight on life in McColloch's family and the community. The book doesn't have an index, but a few of the surnames that are mentioned are: Bankston, Bolton, Brown, Carden, Colwell, Crane, Jones, Kendrick, Lyles, Lynch, Patterson, Perkins, Smith, Woodworth, Wilkerson. There are others, but these seem to be mentioned most. The name of the book is "Better to Dwell - A Georgia Peddler's Diary 1895-1900". We ordered it from the editor, Mary Coleman. At the time we ordered, her address was P.O. Box 471, Bonifay, FL 32425. I am not sure if that is still correct.
Lynn, I sent this in earlier, and so far I haven't seen it come through. I found the info on the Effie Janie Carden. They have her listed just as Janie Carden. She was the daughter of Thomas Jefferson Carden, Granddaughter of David Carden, and GGranddaughter of John Carden. She was born in 1858 in Calmpbell Co. Ga., and died 1937. Like you said, she was married to Patrick Coldwell Shivers. They are buried in the Shivers Family cemetery on Shackelford Rd. possibly Zebulon. Patrick was a store owner operating a general merchandise and grocery until his death in 1912. The store was located in Zebulon on the square, near the Bank Of Zebulon east of the court house. Their children were: William Patrick Shivers. b 1874 d. 1910 John B.
