To List Members and Ralph who asked about Philip Bailey on the Greene County, Georgia, list, I am cross posting to several lists for counties adjoining Greene County, Georgia. Maybe someone else can answer Ralph's Bailey question because my Bailey files have never made it back to my filing cabinet. Still in one of these piles on the floor. I suggest you look in Wilkes County, Georgia, and its surrounding counties for Baileys. There were a whole lot of them who spread out from the area. Also in Lincoln County, but I am not on that list. There are Bailey connections to my Edmonds line, but not in my direct line. One of my ancestors was Francis Edmonds (Edmunds, etc) who died with a will made in Wilkes County in 1795 and probated in 1799. An educated guess on the birth of Francis Edmonds (Edmunds, Edmons, etc.)would be somewhere around 1725 give or take a few years either way. My great grandparents, James Edmonds and Sarah Pollard are buried in the cemetery at Rayle, Wilkes County. They married in Wilkes County in 1849. By 1900 their son, James and his family, werein the Durhamtown Community of Greene County between Woodville/Temperance Bell Crossroads and Bethesday Church. My Edmonds line comes from Francis, through John who married Winifred Buckner, James b. 1776 d. 1826. James married twice once in Lincoln County and then migrated over to Oglethrope County for the 1820 census with his father John and his presumed brother, Anthony. James m. Sarah/Sallie R/Ross Bruce in Wilkes County in 1812. In the published marriage records their names were mis-transcribed as Edwards and Brewer. Some of the Wilkes County deeds were mis-indexed as Edwards. Two of Francis and Rachel _?_ Edmonds daughters married Baileys. This is proved by Francis's will of 1795-1799 where one daughter had married a Bailey before 1795. Then before Rachel died c. 1824 after migrating further west in Georgia, another daughter had married a Bailey before 1824. Given names of these Bailey men have not been proven. An Azariah Bailey witnessed Francis Edmonds will. Francis Edmonds and Azariah Bailey are listed in the court minutes of Halifax County, Virginia, for public claims arising out of the Revolutionary War. Francis Edmonds first appears there c. 1768. A William Edmonds m. a Rebecca Bailey in Wilkes County and migrated to Alabama after the War of 1812 in which he servied in the Wilkes County Militia. Parents of Rebecca Bailey have not been identified. My educated guess is that this William who married Rebecca Bailey was probably the son of Richard, the son of Frances Edmonds. Some time ago I did a lot of posting about Edmonds and Bailey. Some people sent me some rather large files on Baileys, but none identified the Bailey men who married the Edmonds women. Maybe the people who sent me the files will contact Ralph.

Dr. Paul Davidson was born March 1820, died August 22, 1859, Taliaferro County, GA. There is some confusion regarding his place of birth. The 1850 census shows him born in VT, in 1880 his son, Arthur C. Davidson, shows his father born Vermont, but in 1900 both Arthur and his sister, Mary (Davidson) Pool, show their father was born in New Hampshire. He studied at the Medical School of Augusta where he received his degree. Later, in the 1870s, his son. Arthur C. Davidson, would attend the same school of medicine. Paul Davidson was married to Drusilla A. Jackson on July 18, 1843 in Richmond Co., GA. Their marriage was announced in The Augusta Chronicle on July 24, 1843, as follows: "MARRIED, In this county, on the 18th inst., by the Rev. Mr. Gouldin, Dr. Paul Davidson of Burke Co., to Miss Drusilla A. Jackson, of this county." Prior to their marriage, David and Drusilla signed a marriage contract in Burke County, GA, which shows that she brought to the marriage a considerable estate. Assets mentioned in the marriage contract were 1166 acres of land, a negro slave and her female child, 52 promissory notes of $30 each, one note of $15 (all dated Nov. 24, 1840 totaling $1535), 36 promissory notes of $30 each and one of $11.15 (all dated Dec. 6, 1841 totaling $1091.15), and a judgment obtained by Drusilla A. Jackson in the Superior Court of Burke County for the sum of Fourteen Hundred dollars besides interest due. It was agreed that Baldwin B. Miller and William J. Evans be executors or administrators of the estate which was to be in trust for Drusilla and her intended husband, Paul Davidson for their use "during the Term of their natural lives. Provisions were made should they die and leave children or grandchildren. Soon after their marriage, Paul and Drusilla moved to Taliaferro County, Georgia where they are found in 1850, as follows: 1850 Census, Taliaferro Co., GA Division 78 Roll 83, Page 337 15 October 1850 Dwelling 334, Family 334 PAUL DAVISON, age 30, m, occupation: M.D., val. real est.: 3100, b. VT (?) Drucilia, age 30, f, b. GA Alanza [Alonzo], age 5, m, b. GA Arthur C., age 1, m, b. GA In addition to the two sons above, Paul and Drusilla had two daughters born after 1850 - Mary D. Davidson and Henrietta Davidson. Drusilla predeceased Paul and he remarried shortly after her death to Sarah (surname unknown, b. January 1834, GA). Paul and Sarah had two daughters, Sarah Burtha Davidson and Pauline Davidson, and possibly a son John (see below). The will of Paul Davidson was written May 8, 1859 and probated in Sept. 1859 in Taliaferro Co. He named his wife Sarah, children Sarah Burtha, Arthur C., Mary D., Henrietta J., an unnamed infant daughter, and nephew Stephen Jackson of Burke County. James A. Flynt was appointed guardian to Mary, Henrietta and Arthur, children of his first wife. 1860 Census, Taliaferro Co., GA P. O. Crawfordville Roll 137, Page 33 23 July 1860 Dwelling 258, Family 256 JAS. A. FLYNT, age 56, m, Farmer, val. real est.: 20895, pers. est.: 59800, b. GA Rebecca E., age 32, f, b.

GA Sarah J. Davidson and her children have not yet been found in the 1860 census but in 1870 she is listed with her two daughters and also a child, John Davidson, age 9. This somewhat of a puzzle. Paul Davidson died in 1859 at which time the youngest was an infant daughter (Pauline). The only plausible explanation might be that John was actually about 10 years old and born after his father's death. (In the 1910 census, Sarah did show that she had 3 children with none living at that time). CHILDREN OF DR. PAUL DAVIDSON BY DRUSILLA JACKSON: I. ALONZO DAVIDSON. He is listed in the 1850 census as age 5 but is not found in the 1860 census. It appears that he was the Alonzo Davidson buried in Old South Liberty Presbyterian Church. Wiley Jones' book does not show any further information, but another survey of these tombstones by Jimmy Sheehan and Dan Crumpton in 1986 shows "Alonzo Davidson, age 6 yrs," so he likely died about 1851. ----------------------------------------- II. ARTHUR CHASE DAVIDSON, born Feb. 1849, died August 20, 1821, Sharon, Taliaferro Co., GA. He married Jan. 9, 1868, Taliaferro Co., to Ada Vistula Mershon (b. Jan. 9, 1846, Warren Co., GA, d. 1929, daughter of Arden Rucker Mershon and Ruth Cason Pool.) Arthur and Ada are both buried at Sharon Methodist Cemetery, Taliaferro Co. (Ruth Cason Pool Mershon is also buried at Sharon Methodist Cemetery.) As stated above, Arthur Davidson attended the Medical College of Augusta, graduating in 1877. He practiced medicine in Taliaferro County for many years and was much loved and respected by all who lived there. 1880 Census, Taliaferro Co., GA District 172 Roll 166, Page 394A 15 June 1880 Dwelling 177, Family 134 DAVIDSON, ARTHUR C., w, m, age 31, Head, mar., Practicing Physician, b.

Besides his son, Dr. Davidson, he is survived by another son. W. C. Davidson, Greensboro, Ga., and Mrs. L. R. Brown, of Macon, Ga. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at five o'clock at the Sharon Methodist Church. ----------------------------------------- III. MARY D. DAVIDSON, was born in July 1851, died 1904, and is buried at Sharon Methodist Church Cemetery. She was married twice: (1) to T. N. Pool, May 5, 1894, Taliaferro Co. He was deceased by 1900 when Mary is found living with her brother Arthur and listed as a widow. She married (2) Capt. W. S. Gilbert, November 5, 1902, Taliaferro County. ----------------------------------------- IV. HENRIETTA DAVIDSON, b. ca. 1852. To date no marriage has been found. She apparently had some type of disability as in the 1880 census there is a check mark for her under the column "Maimed, crippled, bedridden, or otherwise disabled." In 1860 she was living with her guardian, James W. Flynt, in 1870 and 1880 with her step-mother Sarah. ========================= CHILDREN OF DR. PAUL DAVIDSON BY 2ND WIFE SARAH V. SARAH BURTHA DAVIDSON was born about 1857 and died before 1900. She married Thomas E. Kendrick, March 16, 1881, Taliaferro Co. Thomas E. Kendrick is listed in the 1900 census as a widower and Sarah J. Davidson was living with him at that time, listed as his mother-in-law. 1900 Census, Taliaferro Co., GA Dist. 172 - Raytown Roll 223, Page 3B June 2, 1900 Dwelling 51, Family 52 KENDRICK, T.

GA (Note from Rhoda: in 1900 and 1910, Sarah J. Davidson shows her father born TN but the 1880 census has her father born GA. Also, it is incorrect that she only had 1 child as she is listed with two daughters in 1880. The 1910 census shows that Sarah had 3 children with none living.) ----------------------------------------- VI. PAULINE DAVIDSON was born about 1859 and apparently was the unnamed daughter mentioned in Paul Davidson's will. She was living with her mother in 1870, age 10, and in 1880, she was age 21, still living with her mother. No further information at this time. ----------------------------------------- VII. JOHN DAVIDSON (??). Maybe born ca. 1860? Listed in the 1870 census as age 9. He is not mentioned with Sarah in the 1880 census. ----------------------------------------- SOURCES: 1.

Sarah "Shady" Ogletree (1842-1927), was daughter of Asbury Ogletree, Sr. and Martha Thompson. She was married to David H. Lunceford December 19, 1860 in Taliaferro Co. Information provided by Mikki Martin shows that David H. Lunceford contracted measles while serving in the Confederate Army. He was sent home to Taliaferro County on furlough where he died. (Source: Sarah (Ogletree) Lunceford's Widow's pension from the files of Mikki and Tim Martin.) Apparently Sarah and David had no children and she never remarried. Rhoda SOURCES: 1.

Hi Virginia. As the tombstone states, Martha Leona Harrison Ogletree was the first wife of James Redmond Ogletree (born Sept. 25, 1847, died Sept. 29, 1925, son of Asbury Ogletree and Martha Thompson). They were married in Taliaferro Co. Dec. 24, 1874. She was daughter of James P. Harrison and Sarah Evans. After her death, James Redmond Ogletree remarried on Dec. 22, 1878, Taliaferro Co., to Emma E. Harrison, younger sister of his first wife. Emma was born Nov. 6, 1861, died April 23, 1918. James R. and Emma are both buried at Union Point Cemetery. Also of interest -- Eutopia Harrison, another daughter of James P. and Sarah (Evans) Harrison, married Asbury Ogletree, Jr., brother of James Redmond Ogletree. Rhoda SOURCES: 1.

Old South Liberty Presbyterian.... Organized 1828 just south of Sharon. There is a photo in Wiley's book. and also one of the Cemetery. Does anyone know more about this one.... I feel certain the Darden, Moore, Davidson families were prominent members since those are mentioned in the cemetery listing itself. Do you think the photo in the book was taken around 1984? What is there today? It would be so nice to write up a brief history of this Presbyterian Church. Virginia

If you have marriages...census, whatever...I'll add them to this file, as it might provide some clues as to other burials. Source: Rest in Peace: A Cemetery Census of Taliaferro County - Wiley B.

We believe there are several Ogletree's buried here. The cemetery is located on the northeast side of Road #13 on the county map also known as Boswell Homeplace Road. This road leads from Highway 278 and the Georgia Railroad by Gordon Sherrer's to Boswell Crossroads and on to Greene County by the Jesse Colclough Place. The cemetery is about two miles north of Highway 278 and about 200 yards northeast of Boswell Homeplace Road on property belonging to John W. and Leila Terrell.

These are examples of how value the hard work done by Wiley Jones is to all of us today. I wonder if these Ogletree cemeteries could even be located today. There is also a Lunceford-Ogletree ....coming I'd like to add "possible burials"...even if it is based on census. I'm sure there must have been some children buried in these.

OGLETREE Martha Leona Harrlson 1854-1876 first wife of James Redmon (Jim) Ogletree This burial plot is located on the eastern side of an abandoned road that once lead from Green Meadow Road to the Gullatt Place. This road connected County Road ^58 to Road #63 as indicated on the county map. The cemetery is behind an old house place. On 1-20-78 only the chimney was left. The graves can be found by locating a large cedar tree to the rear and to the left of the chimney. There is evidence of about two dozen graves but only one tombstone. The graves are about 150 yards from'the house seat.

We need someone to help us with this Ogletree cemetery. There is another one where Martha Leona Harrison Ogletree(1854-1876) is buried, and I'll post it next. The clue is Charlie Ogletree. Please pass this along to any Ogletree researchers that you might know. Source: Rest in Peace: A Cemetery Census of Taliaferro County - Wiley B. Jones Wilkes Pub. Co. (Washington, Ga. 1984) 83 pages. OGLETREE This cemetery is located on the south side of an unpaved county road identified as Road ^58 on the county map and also known as the Green Meadow Road. This road leads west from Highway 22 by the former site of Green Meadow School and to the former site of Center Hill School and then leads on to Highway 278. Stephens Creek crosses Green Meadow Road about one mile west of Highway 22. The cemetery is situated on the west bank of Stephens Creek about 200 yards south of Green Meadow Road on land now belonging to F. G. Mitchell, III. It is in a grove of trees that come to a point. None of the graves are marked except for field stones but they are believed to be ances- tors or relations of Charlie Ogletree who once lived on the place.

J. Rowe HAMILTON McWHORTER Eminent lawyer and jurist, born in Penfleld, Ga., July 1, 1858, son of Robert Ligon McWhorter and Nancy Pope (Thurmond) McWhorter. His early education was at the Mercer High School. He attended the University of Georgia, graduating from that institution in the class of 1875. He began the study of law and in 1877 was admitted to the bar. For a number of years he lived in Lexington, Ga., where he enjoyed a magnificent practice. In 1890 he was elected Judge of the Superior Courts of the Northern Circuit, and in that position achieved a splendid reputation as a jurist. He resigned this position in 1895. and was appointed Advisory Counsel for the Southern Railway. The following year he was appointed Assistant General Counsel for that corporation. He became General Counsel for the corporation in the states of Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi. He retired from the active practice of law Julv 1, 1918. Judge McWhorter has always taken an active interest in public affairs. In politics he has occupied prominent positions in the councils of the Democratic party. In no way has he rendered greater service to his state than in his energetic and abiding interest in the cause of education. For many years he was one of the most active members of the Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia, and for a number of years served as a member of the Board of Trustees of the State Normal School. Ill health, which forced him to retire to private life, occasioned his resignation from both these boards in 1921, and his son, Mr. Marcus McWhorter, was elected to fill the vacancy thus caused. He has always been interested in the development of the agricultural interests of the state and is now one of the largest planters in this section. Judge McWhorter is a member of the Chi Phi Fraternity, of the Capital City Club, of Atlanta, and of the Cloverhurst Country Club, of Athens. November 24, 1880, he was married to Miss Sallie Pharr, of Washington, Ga. Children. Julia Pope (Mrs. H. H. Price); Camilla (Mrs. Andrew C. Erwin); Marcus Pharr, Hamilton, Robert Ligon, Howard Hart, Sallie and Thurmond. Additional Comments: From: HISTORY OF ATHENS and CLARKE COUNTY 1923 H. J.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/taliaferro/census.html I think the way Rhoda has been sharing the census records by family are so helpful.
