Several thousand bales of the cotton were stored there at the beginning of the Civil War. During the great fire of 24 Mar 1865 in Geneva the only store left standing was the Warehouse of W. R. Moore and H.H Hammock's which was down in the "bottom" and escaped the fire. Thousands of Bales of cotton burned for days and all the other warehouses were lost. However, on 16 Apr. 1865 the Union took over and spared, for some reason,W. R. Moore's store, but they torched H.H.Hammock's Warehouse and cotton. Data from 1850 GA census-He and his family lived next door to Lewis McBRYDE-McBRIDE at that time. Prop. value $5,600. Marriage listed in Book A Talbot Co GA. Geneva neared the end of antebellum development when the McBryde House was built in 1859. John T McBryde lived there in 1860, when he was 41, a planter with $2,500 of real estate and $5,025 of personal estate. His wife, Gracey E McBryde, was 35. They were born in GA. It was the home of the John T McBryde family for more than 90 years.""Torn down several years ago, the McBryde house site is on School House Rd, adjoining the Cook-Ligon-Hildreth homeplace on the north and east. McBryde plantation lands attrached to the house lot were several hundred acres as late as 1930. East of the Bennett House, McBryde lands were reached by an old plantation road. Along the road were several cabins, some former slave quarters. Easter Howard, cook for about 30 years at the McBryde house, lived on one of them. A cabin in the back yard of the McBryde home was the dwelling of "Old Aunt Nan'" a former slave and family servant, until her death.
