Hi Folks, My cousin Dr. Niles Reddick came across this online record on the Georgia Archives site and began reading through it. He found some very interesting stuff to note here. The official record starts late in 1818, and the Eagle Tavern was obviously a popular place. Several surnames recognizable to Niles and others in our own research group are: Burton, Braswell, Galphin, Gnann, Clarke, & Moore (surnames commonly found in the Savannah River valley of eastern & southeastern Georgia). On the top of the pages is written "Watkinsville". The modern town of Watkinsville is located on GA 15 just south of Athens in Oconee County. I am going to -guess- that some of the patrons of the Eagle Tavern of Watkinsville may have been early students of Franklin College in Athens (modern UGA). That would help to explain a Salzburger descendant (such as a Gnann) being at a tavern in Watkinsville, GA. Dale E. Reddick http://content.sos.state.ga.us/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/adhoc&CISOPTR=2593&REC=18

BTW, Carole, those loose papers are also all on a single microfilm roll at the GDAH for those closer to Atlanta than Screven County.

Chatham-Screven County GaArchives Biographies.....Colding, Robert Lee unknown - living in 1913 ************************************************ 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: Joy Fisher sdgenweb@yahoo.com November 1, 2004, 11:06 am Author: William Harden p. 1041-1042 COLONEL ROBERT LEE COLDING. Savannah has a legal fraternity of which she has every reason to be proud, some of the members of the profession having achieved nation-wide prominence. Among its eminent representatives is Col. Robert Lee Colding, whose excellent equipment has given him high standing and a practice of large proportions. As his Christian name indicates, Colonel Colding comes of staunch Southern origin and a glance at the history of his forbears reveals a number of soldiers and patriots. He himself is a public-spirited citizen of the best type, ever ready to give his support to any measure which in his judgment will be likely to advance, the general welfare. Colonel Colding, who has lived his entire life in the city of Savannah, is the son of Capt. Silas M. and Laura Frances (Sibley) Colding. The father, who died in 1886, when the subject was still a lad, was born in Screven county, Georgia, and came to Savannah a bare-footed boy. He served in the Confederate army throughout the war between the states, becoming a regimental staff captain in the Fiftieth Georgia Infantry, in the army of northern Virginia. For a long number of years he was a successful cotton merchant; in his latter career as such, however, suffering financial reverses. The mother of Colonel Colding was born in Bridgeton, New Jersey; when she was a year old her parents removed to Florida and later to Georgia. She was the daughter of Samuel Shute Sibley, a widely known newspaper man of the earlier days. Long before the war he was the proprietor of the Savannah Georgian, which was the predecessor of the present Morning News. The paternal grandfather, Henry Colding, was born in Screven county, Georgia, of parents who came from Barnwell District, South Carolina. Henry Colding's father, Blanchard Colding, of South Carolina, was a Continental soldier in the Revolutionary war. The family originated in Denmark, migrating thence to Scotland and in Colonial days coming to America. They located first in New York after their arrival in the land of the stars and stripes and subsequently came to South Carolina. On account of the parental financial reverses above referred to, Colonel Colding was early in life thrown upon his own resources. But although in those early days the doors of the schools were locked in his face, the doors of education were not and he found in the school of life a training quite invaluable. After some attendance in the public schools of the city, he entered the Savannah Military Academy, paying for his tuition out of his own earnings. Meantime a long gathering desire to become a lawyer readied the point of crystallization and he began his legal studies here, being duly admitted to the bar on June 18, 1898. lie has since been admitted to practice in the state, supreme and federal courts and in the United States supreme court. He has a tine legal mind and is a hard-working and successful lawyer, always having a large amount of legal business, and his conduct of his law business being notable for thoroughness and efficiency. He is the sound and substantial type of citizen who wins the well-deserved confidence of the people and he has been called to serve in several public capacities. He was county attorney of Cheatham county for five years, from 1903 to 1908. He is an ex-member of the city council, of which body he was vice chairman and chairman of the fire committee. He was colonel on the staff of Governor Terrell and is now on the list of retired officers with the rank of lieutenant commander. Colonel Colding is one of the most prominent Masons of the state. He is past master of Solomon's Lodge, No. 1; deputy grand master of the Grand Lodge of Georgia; past high priest of Georgia Chapter No. 3; past grand high priest of the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Georgia; past thrice illustrious master, Georgia Council No. 2, Royal and Select Masters; past grand master, Grand Council of Georgia; past commander, Palestine Commandery, No. 7, Knights Templar. He is now preceptor of Richard Joseph Nunn Consistory, 32nd degree, A. and A. S. R. He is also a high priest and prophet and representative of Alee Temple, A. A. 0. N. M. S. He is also past exalted ruler of the local lodge of Elks. Colonel Colding has been connected with the formation of many lodges and has been instrumental in spreading the tine principles of Masonry, especially in southeastern Georgia. During his progress through Masonry many honors have been conferred upon him, each succeeding honor bringing increased satisfaction to the brethren of Savannah. He enjoys a great degree of popularity and is well worthy of the success he has achieved and the honors that have been conferred upon him. Colonel Colding married Miss Annie E. McIntyre, daughter of Edward McIntyre, of Savannah, who was for many years comptroller of the Central of Georgia Railroad. The demise of this lady occurred in 1898.

Hi Folks, Carole Drexel and I have been reading parts of Clyde Hollingsworth's "Pioneer Days" and Carole noticed something odd. On page 39 there were twice mentions of "Paris MILL Academy". I think that was a 'slip of the mind' and / or perhaps a repeated typographical error. People frequently wrote about Paris Mill. It wouldn't be surprising that some writers describing Paris Hill Academy (at Cameron near Jarrell Pond and the Ogeechee River) might erroneously write down 'Paris Mill' (located at Millhaven on Brier Creek). Further down in the same paragraph there's mention that the academy was situated atop a hill. Then, go back to the 1830s through '60s maps that are available and they display "Paris Hill Academy". Anyhow, I found four historical documents that also name the school at Cameron as "Paris Hill Academy".

Wm Sterling EVANS was s/o Charles EVANS (26 Mar 1853 - 20 July 1885 s/o John Ruel EVANS and Sarah Elizabeth "Betty" LUCAS) and Cynthia Alice CAIL (2 Feb 1858 - 26 Aug 1922) Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Alice are buried at Douglas Branch Church - as are his grandparents John Ruel and Betty Lucas EVANS. Next to Charles and Alice in the cemetery is Alice's mother, Nancy QUINNEY. Her father, Coleman CAIL (1825-1860) was s/o Rev Soldier William CAIL and Ruth Sykes.

After her husband Coleman CAIL passed in 1860, Nancy remarried John Perry. He died soon thereafter. And - if you'll remember - Charles EVANS and a few others were killed in a boiler explosion in 1885...leaving Alice CAIL-EVANS to raise the fa! mily and take care of the farm (Wm Sterling, my great grandfather was a four-month-old baby when this happened). Well - the 6 children were still small - so Grandma Nancy moved to Screven County to help out. Amazingly, Grandma Alice never remarried - lost three of her six children (sons John Ruel, Charles Quentin and Llewellyn EVANS) to typhoid in 1898 - and still managed to hold onto the farm. Grandma Alice - though I've never met her - and she passed over a hundred years ago - I feel like I do know her. I've never heard anything but stories of her courage, faith and strength - and her determination to hold onto the family farm. I have the paperwork from the bank in Sylvania - where she had to borrow money against the farm to pay bills (several times) - yet, she held on. I'm looking out over that land and that old farmhouse right now from my office window. That old woman would be so proud to know that we love this place as much as she did.

Dale, It's a little confusing, as it has several dates in there, i.e. 1794, 1798, and 1864. However, I note that Uncle George Washington Scott is on this list, and he was born in 1825, so it must be later. The only other thing that I can think of, pertaining to the "C" is "Conscript" which would mean that they were drafted for 90 days or so. The "M" is obviously for Militia, and they were permanent volunteers pretty much. Anyway, maybe someone will figure it out. Happy hunting! Scotty **************Start the year off right.

Hey Scotty, It's a militia unit described on page 69, which is the last one from Mrs. Lane's notebook posted to date. The militia unit is composed of individuals from Bulloch, Burke, and Screven Counties. Obviously, it can't be Revolutionary War unit as two of those counties didn't exist until the 1790s. Almost every name in the list is followed by either a 'C' or an 'M'. Billy Cates asked the question about the meaning of those two letters. I still don't know that I came close to an answer with what I mentioned.
