Dale, Glad you are back and feeling better. Look forward to working with again on our elusive kin. Hopefully the New Year will be a bit easier for you. Thanks for the web link, will scour the details later. Dara Dale wrote: > I hope that you've had a fine holiday season so far. > > I spent a couple of days in the hospital last week,

About 2 months ago, I found that my GGgrandfather, Robert D Williams,2nd wife Ida Lee Hotchkiss Williams ,who had applied for his pension from the CSA while she lived in Chatham in 1918 had later moved to Schley Co to be near her son, Leo, and had asked that the pension be moved to that county. Mike Hotchkiss answered by query and sent me the article form Schley Co website that she was the last surviving in that county and the office was closed at her death Jan 1956. He also sent me an articles about her son Leo D Williams and how dedicated he was to the school children of that county. To day I put a query on Schley Co Rootweb site and I got this wonderful message in return. I just wanted to share it with all of you. Margaret . Looking for information on Leo D Williams and Ida Lee Williams.Recently found in Schley Co, GAArchives Photo a story on Leo D Williams (12-09-1899-02-22-1969) who was a devoted school bus driver. Another story on Ida Lee Williams ,his mother, as being the last surviving CSA widow to receive a pension in the County and the office was closed afer her death. These are my family from Screven Co, Ga. ========================================================================= Hello, I'm not able to provide any family information, but thought you might enjoy some of the old newspaper articles mentioning your relative, Leo Williams. He was "Mr. Leo" to me, bus driver to me and 1000s of my friends and neighbors growing up in the 40s, 50s, and 60s in Ellaville. Articles below and 2 pictures attached. Kindest regards, Ernie Jones Kansas City MO THE ELLAVILLE SUN, Sep 30, 1938 TRIBUTE FROM A STUDENT A grammar grader on the LaCross school bus heard Driver Leo Williams had been interviewed for a story in today's paper and she decided to write a little tribute to accompany it. She sent it in Thursday morning. And it tells quite a story. Here it is in her own words, edited only when necessary: "............. Mr. Williams is a very honest and loyal bus driver. He is no strict driver but sees that the students conduct themselves properly. He shows due respect to all the students. He tries to make the trip to and from school as cheery and happy and enjoyable as possible. He encourages the student in all school works and activities. The parents all respect him as loyal and feel that their children are safe with him. He is a very safe driver." Oct 16th, 1942 -- SCHLEY SLANTS WRONG TOOTH When Jack Tondee, at Wilson's Drug Store, complained last Saturday about losing a tooth, Leo Williams, LaCrosse school bus driver, called him down. That was nothing, Leo insisted, compared to the luck he had some time ago. Unable to stand the pain of a tooth until morning, Williams went out to the garage, got a pair Pliers and yanked out--THE WRONG TOOTH. So he had to pull a second time before getting the troublesome one. (His wife substantiates the story.) Aug 6th, 1937 "Deaf" Mule Heard----- Big, jolly Leo Williams of LaCross, who drives a Schley County High School bus during the school term, was limping this week---and a bit thankful he was able to limp. He and his son Herbert, were badly bruised and shaken up last week when a mule bolted, throwing Leo from the wagon and forcing the boy to jump. Reason for the accident: A "deaf" mule heard one of the pigs Williams was hauling let out a squeal, and became frightened. March 29th, 1940 (A confusing sentence in this one...) EULAH HOTCHKISS EXPIRES SUNDAY Mr. Eula Hotchkiss, 74, of Statesboro, sister of Mrs. Ida Williams and uncle of Leo Williams of Schley, died Sunday after an illness of a week. Funeral services were (to) be held Tuesday. Mrs. Williams attended the funeral, having gone to Statesboro Sunday after hearing that his condition had become critical. (Transcriber's note: I'm not real sure how Eula Hotchkiss could be the sister of one person and the uncle of another, but that's what it says.) July 3rd, 1940 DIRT AND MOLASSES Seven-year-old Lettie Lee Williams escaped a near injury Tuesday morning, but she was plastered with dirt and molasses. Lettie Lee was standing on a sled that bore a barrel of molasses. When her father Leo Williams, opened the container, the syrup spurted, scaring the mule into a bolt. She was knocked down, soused with the sugary liquid and sent tumbling into the dust. After the cleaning job, she was all right. Sep 26th, 1941 SCHLEY SLANTS Raymond Duncan's Round-Up of Human Interest Stories STRANGE NURSERY A hen nest in the chicken yard of Leo Williams farm in LaCross community Wednesday became a strange nursery for a flock of "biddies" and a litter of kittens apparently born about the same time. When Mrs. Williams reached into a shoulder-high nest late Wednesday to see if the chicken eggs had hatched, she pulled out a newly born kitten. Astonished, she lifted the hen and found nine chickens, three kittens. While the "biddies" were hatching, the hen had left the nest for a time. During her absence, the mother cat apparently either had climbed into the nest and given birth to the kittens, or had placed them there (it is a common practice for cats to move their young soon after birth). PASSES FOR LEO Leo lost no time early Thursday in reporting the queer story out at his place, and for his promptness won the weekly award of a pair of guest tickets to any show at Rylander Theatre. If he is equally as quick to use the passes, Leo should take his wife to see "Blossoms in the Dust", starring Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon, which plays Monday and Tuesday. Feb 16th, 1940 BASKETBALLERS BOGGED DOWN A bog-down of Leo Williams' school bus filled with high school basketballers, just off the Ellaville-Americus highway during a rainstorm last Friday night routed a group of local men from their beds to carry the girls and boys home to parents already distraught because their children were overdue. The bus was trapped in the rain-flooded road en route to put off a passenger, Pauline Price, a member of the girls' team. Bill McDonald, school principal, walked through a three quarters of a mile cloudburst to call for relief cars. Answering the appeal were E.C. Rigsby, Linton Tondee, and Charlie Wall, Jr. Unable to find a place to turn around because of the impassable road, the cars could get no closer than a quarter of a mile to the truck. The rescue squad was busy until after 2 a.m. --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo! Search.

Hi Folks, The following URL takes you to a PDF file describing the pension statement of Benjamin Taylor (born circa 1759 in NC) of Screven County. Note that there is mention of an affidavit in which we learn that John, Willis, and William Taylor acknowledge Benjamin Taylor as their father. There are a great many names mentioned within this statement, with Benjamin Taylor describing his service under Generals Gates and Greene and various other officers, and with him having been at the Battles of Camden and of Guilford Courthouse. Others soldiers who served with him and a number of neighbors and JPs of the county are included on the statement. There's a great deal of information to be learned from this pension statement for Taylor researchers with Screven County ancestry. Dale http://southerncampaign.org/pen/r10407.pdf Dale E.

Hi Folks, I hope that you've had a fine holiday season so far. I spent a couple of days in the hospital last week, thinking that I was about to have a heart attack. After multiple tests it appears that whatever problems I do have they are not cardiovascular in nature. Depression, infrequent anxiety attacks, and strange outbursts (thankfully very infrequent) are part of my personal problem. Thankfully, I've now become more and more aware of these problems. Hopefully, none of you will read any more strange messages from me. And I do wish to express my sincere regrets for that single bizarre message that I posted to the list last month. I am watching out for those days when I'm feeling either anxious or despondent. Strange things are possible on such days. I'm now aware of that issue and guarding against such inappropriate expressions. Anyhow - here's a great webpage with wonderful information regarding the pension applications made by Revolutionary War soldiers who fought in the Southern Campaign. I've read through the statements for McKeen Greene and Tarlton Brown, who have connections through Screven or nearby counties. Both of these men fought along the Savannah River in what became Screven County. McKeen Greene had brothers named John and Benjamin who also fought in the War. These might be those men of such same names who were resident in Screven County during the 1790s. Fascinating information... Dale E. Reddick http://southerncampaign.org/pen/index.htm#b

Randy, I would like to have a copy of our Scott Family History when it is finished. Please contact me when it is available. Dessie

Dessie, I hope to have our Scott Family history finished, as much as possible, by early next year. I'm trying to update names/data on Philetus' brothers and sister up thru 1930 anyway, ( William Jason, John, Elizabeth Virginia Scott Thompson ). These histories are usually never complete: lost names, contacts/relationships, some not cooperating. I have been awaiting for over 6 weeks for another family to send me data and old photos. Took me decades to find them, they seemed excited about adding to the data but..oh, well, tis the way of all compilations.

Hi Soctti, I just got back from Screven Co a couple of hours ago. I was in Browns yesterday making copies of some Williams photo's that one of my cousins inherited. One of Wm Mack Williams and Mary Jane Taylor and more. I was so excited to get them and my sister,Mary,and I went all of the county, especially near The Tom and Julia Scott home. We even went to Zion Fair Cemetery. We went near Black Creek Methodist looking for the old Billings home and Mill. We had the time of our lives. I would treasure a copy of your Scott Book. Margaret Scotti3275@aol.com wrote: Hi, Everyone. I'll not be able to post the Scott Family Book on the Screven Website due to the number of living people listed in it.

Last year, he quoted me a price of $11 per book for printing. Let me know what you think. Below is the dedication page and introduction for A'Bellendaine! The Scotts of Scriven. Scotty This compilation is dedicated to the memory of a truly gracious and selfless woman: SANDRA SCOTT POPE 1939 - 2005 A'BELLENDAINE! Perhaps the most outstanding, and numerous, of the great Border Families of Scotland was that of Scott. Uchtred, son of Scot, lived in the first half of the 12th century, and from his two sons the numerous Scott branches began. The Scotts of Buccleuch, whose Dukedom dates from 1673, ended in Anne, who married James, Duke of Monmouth, natural son of Charles II, who was beheaded for rebelling against his uncle, James II. From this marriage comes the line of the later Dukes of Buccleuch and Queensberry. From the line of Harden originating in the 14th century, sprang one of Scotland’s greatest men: Sir Walter Scott of Abbotsford. Like their neighbours, the Scotts were turbulent, cunning, courageous, and filled with energy. The gathering place of the Families in time of war was Bellendean, on Borthwick Water. When the fierce cry of “A Bellendaine!” was heard on the Border, men knew that the Scotts were “out”. The above paragraphs are from the official Clan Scott tartan advertisement, which was attached to a tie that I bought in St. Andrews, Scotland, while I was on temporary duty at RAF Leuchars, Scotland in July 1983. Visiting Scotland was a revelation to me; I’d always been interested in my family roots, but this really fired my interest, and I then made an active effort to learn more about my family. Now, at this time, I had been stationed at Bitburg Air Base, Germany for two years, and still had three more years to go. I was 29 years old, my father and all of my grandparents were dead, plus we had been gone from Screven County for some 22 years. I cannot now remember how I came to get in touch with Sandra Scott Pope, but I credit her with providing me the inspiration to keep going. She mailed, all the way to Bitburg, a Scott family book that she and Yvonne Powell Wells had done, and later a copy of the Screven County History Book. Seeing all of these Scotts in print, after only hearing about them over the years, was the final hook: I was caught by genealogy. Also playing an important part in my development as a genealogist was Lisa Johnson Brant Guidos, who sent me a picture of my great-great-great-grandfather, Lorenzo “Dow” Scott. Seeing the image of someone who was born in 1822 was simply astounding to me. Additionally, I want to thank two cousins, Emerson Scott, for actually taking me to many of the old places thereabouts in search of cemeteries and individual graves of family members, and Margaret Scott Harley, for telling me about them. Margaret was born in 1916 at the old Winfield Scott farm, and used to ride with her grandfather, “Field”, when he would go about in his horse and buggy; she was his “ears”, as he was almost completely deaf, and she would listen out for those infernal contraptions called “automobiles” for him. Margaret is a wonderful storyteller, and remembers many people of old Screven County. There are many other people who made significant contributions to my research, but as this is a Scott compilation, and I plan on doing other families as well, I will save these people for their particular families.
