When I visited the courthouse in Talbotton a few weeks ago, I ran across a 3 or 4 volume book by Davidson entitled "A Rockaway in Talbot". One volume had a 3-4 page article on my ancestor William Holt (1792-1874). I made copies of the article, but failed to mark down from which volume it was. Anyone with access to these books? The courthouse has 3 out of the 4 volumes (? I believe that's right). Thanks in advance. By the way, the Wm. Holt article has a photo of Wm. Holt's tombstone. It also provided information that with other data allowed us to find the old Holt plantation site up in N. Talbot Co (near Pleasant Hill just off Chalybeate Springs Road on Ellison Pound Road) but the gravestone in Mr. Davidson's book is no longer within the stone enclosure of the burial ground on the old plantation site.either lost, or (my hope) preserved somewhere safe from the elements and time. Thanks, Dlc PS Anyone who wants to be able to find the old Holt plantation site, just let me know. It's on private land of a Mr. Daniels (?) but a Mr. Lamb who lives near there showed it to us. Not much to see, but the stone wall enclosing the burial ground (as described in Wm. Holt's 1872 will also available in the courthouse - will book B, I believe) is still there, much overgrown with briars and fallen limbs, etc. Photos are available here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~caseytexas/Georgia-pix1003/Talb ot-Holt/ My Holt website is available here: http://holt.casey-genealogy.com <http://holt.casey-genealogy.com/>

Holt's wife, Frances Cox Holt was the sister of Chappell Cox. I have very little info about Chappell, but if he was a trustee of an educational institution in Talbot Co., then chances are he had moved from the old family home in Putnam Co., Ga "west" with some other members of his family. Ichabod Cox (grandfather of Gen. John B. Gordon) was the uncle of Chappell Cox. DLC

Carla just found this poem written in 1909 --- it really gives you all the battles that this company was involved with. Together with the Atkinson newspaper account, it makes all of the men more personal. http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/talbot/military/a-4.txt roster http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/talbot/military/a-4news.txt collection of newspaper accounts about this unit The Talbotton New Era Thursday, April 22, 1909 Page Seven The Last Roll Call (By Ossian D. Gorman) We were mustered in the morning Of an April far away, Three and eighty strong, and eager As we started for the fray. And no whisper broke the daydream Of that brave and hopeful band, That Story would embalm their deeds In the epic of their land. Sad were we, and sad the parting On that morning steeped in tears; Little recked we of the ending Hid within the coming years. Eager eyes were looking forward, Seeing visions far afield; Each one dreaming of a hero, Bearing Victory on his shield. Oft had thought we of the battle, Where the clashing lines should meet, Of charge and daring counter-charge, Of the vanquished foe's retreat. Oft dreamed we of the bugle call, Oft lived our dreams of glory, And took our lessons from the page, Of History's brightest story. We saw historic Richmond loom, Across our field of dreaming, And years on years of battle stress, Great even in their seeming - Saw march and struggle by the "James" And heard its limpid flowing, Through erstwhile peaceful vales and hills, Sweet with the South wind's blowing. Saw we names for song and story, Names writ large in tragic lines - There is Bartow at Manassas, And stern Lomax at "Seven Pines". There is Jackson, strong in battle, Peerless Gordon, grandly brave, Noble Hampton, dashing Stewart - These be heroes that we gave. As we "look a down the vistas" Reaching to those days far back, We can see the legions thronging In an unreturning track. We can see the "lonely muster" On a field of grief and tears, And shall read the tragic story Through the coming years. Yes, we mustered in the morning Of an April far away, When the call to War was sounded, Three and eighty strong that day. But, when came to us the gloaming, And the South's last hope was dead, There were few to answer "Roll Call", For the dreaming days had fled. The foregoing refers to "The Southern Rifles" (Company A, 4th Georgia Regiment, C.S.A.), which left Talbotton, April 26, 1861. The words, "lonely muster", etc. refer to Appomattox. Virginia Crilley

Forgot to ask about the most important person: W.D. Atkinson (Judge) Growing up during the early 1860. Let's try to get a bio on him..... Virginia Crilley

http://www.rootsweb.com/~gatalbot/newera_1906.html Seana has Judge Atkinson's newspaper account in such a wonderful format.... be sure to take a minute and view it! (Big thanks to Carla Miles who typed this account from the microfilm) We'd like to build on his account and find out more about the individuals he mentions specifically ... (and if anyone has photos of any of them!) If some of you could look in your files or scout around the Internet and find out more about these people -- I think it would be so interesting. Zachariah Trice - Which Baptist church would he have been referring to? James Lennard Jesse Carter "Uncle Jesse" Thomas H. Persons Mrs. Henry Persons Thomas Lumsden Henry Leonard Mr. Mac Mr. McLaughlin (Collingsworth) Mr. Gardner (Collingsworth) Walter B. Hill Joe Bannerman Miss Sarah Carter Virginia Crilley

Carla Miles had typed this up last August, and somehow I failed to get it posted on-line. It would be wonderful to learn more about the individuals in Co. A 4th that Mr. Atkinson mentions. The Talbotton New Era Thursday, April 12, 1906 Page Two Personal Items Judge Atkinson of Evergreen, Ala., was in Talbotton for several days last week. He is a prominent attorney of that city and was born and raised near Talbotton. He has written an article, which appears elsewhere in this issue, which will no doubt prove very interesting to New Era readers. *Note The article written by Judge Atkinson did not appear until the following week in The New Era. This article is interesting and informative as the Judge recalls his youth in Talbotton during the early 1860s and the citizens he fondly remembers. The Talbotton New Era Thursday, April 19, 1906 Page Two (Note: The following was written before the recent visit of Mr. Atkinson to Talbotton) A spirit of garrulity dominates me, and I am in a reminiscent mood. Two pictures are in my mind; one is the home of my boyhood, three miles east, and the other four miles south of Talbotton, Ga. Were I again to visit those scenes, I would find few I once knew. Most of them have gone as voyagers over that sea, upon the crest of the waves a homeward bound sail has never seen. Some perished amid the red glare of battle; others fell asleep surrounded by the weeping ones they loved. It is now April, and how vividly is pictured Friday, the 26th day of that month in 1861, when Capt. B. Curley led from anguished mothers, sisters and friends, the Southern Rifles, the first company to leave home in defense of all our people held dear. Dinner was served at the side of the Methodist church. My father led in fervent prayer, and Judge E.H. Worrill in a patriotic speech. First Augusta, then to Norfolk, and for the first battle array, the Fourth Georgia with Company A on the right, faced a hostile foe at seven pines. Of the more than eighty who left, less than twenty returned, not bearing the trophies of victory, but bronze to a Spartan mothers breast, on as many glory shields. Of the many men of the older generation I knew in those days was Zacheriah Trice, a sturdy, uncompromising union man. If the old Baptist church yet stands in Talbotton, I could were I there, point to the seat he always occupied. Cold water and brandy were his only medicinal agents, and his great success in his ministrations to the sick, won for him a large clientele, and for his services he never charged a cent. He was a man of large means and could afford to practice gratis. He frequently received calls as far away as Augusta, Ga., and one I recall from South Carolina. He owned more than one hundred slaves and there were fourteen members of his own family, and his boast was that for ten years there was neither a death or a doctor in his home. James Lennard is well remembered. One of his legs was stiff at the knee, and the old gentleman, in order to conceal his baldness, always tied his hair in a knot on the top of his head. He lived west of Talbotton about four miles, but his seat was never unoccupied when there were services at his church. His family and that of Jesse Carter were connected by marriage. Uncle Jesse, as he was familiarly called, was in 1860, an uncompromising Douglas man; but after Douglas went with Lincoln in 1861, he would have none of him. In the early part of Lincolns administration Douglas died, and the next Sunday at the close of service, Mr. Carter was asked to lead in prayer. His first utterance was, O Lord, we thank Thee for the death of Douglas. For a few moments the old gentlemans emotions overcame him so he could not proceed. Thomas H. Persons was one of the leading citizens of Talbotton on those days. He was a merchant, a gentleman of the old school, and one who possessed the confidence and esteem of all who knew him, a combination and a form indeed, where ever God did seem to set his seal, to give the world assurance of a man. In this day of low commercial morality it is refreshing to recall the life and character of a man like Thomas H. Persons. Take him for all in all, we shall not look upon his like again. Mrs. Henry Persons. I do not know whether the gracious lady, who in youth plighted her troth to Henry Persons, be yet by his side or not. Anyway, I send a greeting across the troubled years since 1859 to that benign presence, which left its impress then upon my childish vision. My father and I dined with her one day and when we went to our home I found a picture of Queen Victoria, taken when she was the virgin ruler of England. My father agreed with me that Mrs. Persons and Queen Victoria were strikingly alike. Thomas Lumsden was my youthful ideal of the upright citizen and Christian gentleman. Any cause gained strength and popularity if it were known that Thomas Lumsden was its adherent. Henry Leonard; I think, was his name. He was one of natures nobility. I met him in the spring of 1865. I wonder if living, he yet recalls the time when he left an infant of a few hours old and came and camped by the roadside with two boys? His purpose was to protect us from any depredations, as the northern part of the county was then infested by desperate characters, but the boys did not know it. If yet living, I want to say to you, that, that one generous act made a hero of you then in my boyish imagination, and your memory has been cherished through all these years. Mr. Macand Mr. Gardner. Every Collingsworth boy of the later sixties knows who these were, and they were not known as professors, and this is a modern appellation for every a-bab and e-beb crossroads teacher. I am glad the students at the University of Virginia have dropped it. Mr. Gardner, I know, has long since gone to his reward. Where Mr. McLaughlin now is, or if he yet be in life, I do not know. While at Collingsworth, I learned to know and honor. Walter B. Hill and Joe Bannerman two of the worthiest young men I have ever met. Both have crossed to the other side. Noble, manly, generous, Joe Bannerman, knighthood flowered again while you lived. You never chagrined another, or tortured with a cruel joke that you might smile at a brothers discomfiture. Walter Hill, you showed by your life that the manliest thing beneath the stars was to be a humble follower of the meek and lowly Nazarene. Par nobilie fratrum, few loftier souls than yours ever wore earth about them. Miss Sarah Carter is so well remembered. She was in the days of my youth one of the pillars of the Baptist church. She was one of Gods elect. But space is wanting. I close wafting greetings to others, to Mizell, Smith, Proctor, Kimbrough, Tucker, Persons, Maxwell, Blunt, Dennis and to those not named who are legion. W.D. Atkinson Evergreen, Ala. April, 1906 Virginia Crilley

Does anyone have a personal letter from any man serving in one of the Talbot Co CSA companies? This newspaper item caught my attention. Also I learned that the Southern Rifles was a name changed from the Scott Rifles. These sorts of clippings adds details to the lives of these men. I wonder if they ever held reunions after the war. Many Courthouses did have a special event when they put up the confederate markers and often took photos of the living veterans at that time. We have more information about these companies online http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/talbot/military.html The Upson Pilot June 1, 1861 TO THE LADIES OF TALBOTTON.

H.B. Bardwell, the new president of Candler College and Superintendent of the District, went directly to Guantanamo upon his appointment to Cuba in Dec. 1903. He lost no time in preparing to preach in Spanish familiarizing himself with the problems he had to solve in developing his great field. He selected and occupied some of the best points in Guantanamo Valley, and built commodious chapels for four or five points, where we now have excellent congregations. The church and parsonage at Guantanamo are handsome structures. Bro. Bardwell had great success in teaching and putting into practice the principles of self-support, throughout the circuit. His circuit was the first to raise the salary of the native assistant pastor, besides contributing to the general university assessment. He is a scientific Sunday school worker and has done much to promote the introduction of efficient methods in our Sunday Schools. Last year he served well our Havannah Cuban Congregation and now is President of Candler College. He was very successful in the Florida Conference before entering the regular pastorate. Candler College will continue to prosper under his care. These tributes to our own Talbotton son are very pleasing to his friends. Rev. and Mrs. Bardwell are giving their best gifts towards the advancement of Christ’s kingdom. While laboring under dire difficulties their efforts are not in vain, in the Lord. Our entire town and county should many and oft the time, make effectual, fervent prayer for this consecrated couple. The Talbotton New Era Thursday, August 5, 1909 Page 4 Harry Brown Bardwell By Walter Lewis Perryman (Read Before Talbotton Sunday School) In the minutes of our last Annual Conference we find the name of H.B. Bardwell, missionary to Cuba. Harry as the older people call him was born in Talbotton. This son of our soil is the son of Dr. and Mrs. E.L. Bardwell, two of the oldest members of this church. His obedience to parents, affable manners, gentlemanly traits of character early marked him as one destined to occupy a more than ordinary place among his fellow. Finishing his course here, his parents ardently attached to Methodisum, naturally and very properly sent him to Emory College. For a time he gave himself to teaching in the state of Florida. There he found and wedded his wife, a lady who has proved herself adapted to that sphere of action and to the higher vocation to which, ere long, the great head of the church called him – a minister of the gospel of Jesus. For a time he served charges in South Georgia Conference with great acceptability and usefulness. That was a struggle when he was called to a foreign field but God “made all grace to abound” and he responded “here am I, send me.” In going to Cuba he severed many precious ties and confronted trials and burdens that none but a courageous consecrated man could successfully meet. His success since his arrival not quite six years ago has been gradual and growing. At present he is President of Candler College, Havana, and is Superintendent (or Presiding Elder) of the country adjacent to that flourishing city. We rejoice in his prosperity and will remember him in our prayers. Verily missions pay. Let us as Sunday School and church of which he was long a member abound in thanksgiving and grow in liberality and love for those far away fields to which God is calling us.

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. W. Mizell, Mr. and Mrs. James Johnson vied with each other in making it the “merriest, happiest day, of all the glad New Years.” The home of Mr. and Mrs. Mizell on Tuesday evening was the scene of a reunion and an elegant six o’clock dinner. Among the guests was Miss Chase, a gifted musician. Wednesday at noon, a joyous party met in the attractive home of Mr. and Mrs. James Johnson. The beloved pastor, Rev. Granberry, was present to invoke blessings and many added years to the life of the honored guest. Seventy years rest lightly upon “Uncle Bob”. Length of days with him, have meant usefulness, kindliness and good cheer. Back of all this is the grandeur of an upright soul, the courage and greatness of the true soldier who at all times has fought the good fight and run with patience the race set before him. Many happy returns is the wish of Uncle Bob’s large circle of friends. This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 1.6 Kb
