In the past years of researching some of the Hursts who migrated from Effingham County to Thomas Co. Ga. I keep coming across the Humphreys Hurst. I do not think they are related to my Hurst line, but just can't stand not know who this man was. Especially so since I have found three of them. I found evidence of some researchers on Rootsweb, too. There is a large gap in the time span between the early Humphreys and the later ones fpund in Thomas county. I am talking 1500 to about 1820! Thus I feel that there may not be much know by others, either. I have located these 3: 1.-Humphrey b. about 1796 in North Carolina. Located in the 1850 census of Thomas Co. Ga. Wife listed as Sarah who was 52 and born in Ga. This Humphrey was at the age of 54. Children: Mary, Hampton, and David. 2. - Humphret Hurst (H. or N.) who married Martha Applewhite in 1855. Their children are listed on Rootweb site. 3.-Humphrey (H or M. Sr.) married Nancy Fulwood on Dec. 22, 1867. Can anyone enlighten me on these names? Judy V. Mason

The author is W. Irwin MacIntyre, Thomasville, GA, 1923. Most of the book is more of a generic, what was happening at the time type of book. There are a few names listed in there, but mostly just simply names, no family information. There is also a listing at the back half of the book of the people who were head of house for the 1830 (Lowndes and Decatur) and 1840 (Thomas) census. Name only. Although very valuable at the time, with todays access to the census, it is not as valuable as earlier. Your Isaac Newton Cook is listed on page 49 of the book, simply as head of family in the 1840 census, Thomasville District. That is the only listing of your Isaac.

You can research the Washington Co.

A wonderful lady named Joy has posted this sketch, typing by hand all this info from the book named in the file. This line of HOWELLs are supposed to have come down from NC into GA - my G-Grandfather is named as one of the original brothers who comes down - he is JOHN CASWELL HOWELL b ca 1820 NC possible Wake Co, NC (or could it be Wayne Co, NC?) - d 1883 Milltown, Berrien Co, GA. The sketch would be on a nephew of his. My G-Grandfather, CASWELL HOWELL, moved from Thomas Co, GA over into Lowndes Co, GA which part was cut into Berrien Co, GA. He was ordained as a Baptist minister in 1854 in Thomas Co, GA & in Berrien Co, he continued preaching & farming. I would love to "talk"/share/exchange info on these HOWELLs with those who might be connected. See file below & have also posted the site URL. I did get permission from Joy to post this here.

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 October 19, 2004, 7:48 pm Author: William Harden p.800-801 ZADOC WASHINGTON HOWELL. In recording the names and careers of those families which have been most prominently identified with the material prosperity and social and civic affairs of south Georgia, considerable space must be given to the Howells and their connections, for they were almost at the forefront of the era of development in this part of the state, and the individual representatives of the family have never failed to give good accounts of themselves in all the responsibilities of life. One of the best known of them is Zadoc W. Howell, who for many years has been one of the large land proprietors and influential citizens of the Boston district in Thomas county. He was born in the Glasgow district of Thomas county, September 8, 1849, that date itself being an early one in this history of this vicinity. This branch of the Howell family originally resided in North Carolina, the grandparents, so far as can be ascertained, having been lifelong residents at Snow Hills in that state. Barney Howell, the father of Mr. Z. W. Howell, with three brothers, Caswell, Payton and Turner, came to Georgia some time in the early forties and all settled in Thomas county. This migration was made in the fashion of the time, and several weeks were required for the wagons containing the goods of the party to be hauled along the long road into Southern Georgia. Thomasville was then a hamlet with only one store, and all the surrounding region little better than an unbroken wilderness, with wild game in abundance and Indians still numerous and protesting against their removal from these hunting grounds. For a time after his arrival here Barney Howell, who was then a young man, was mail carrier between this neighborhood and Monticello, Florida, making the horseback journey with great regularity and going via Troupville, which was then the county seat of Lowndes county. He later bought a tract of land, heavily timbered, in what is now the Glasgow district of Thomas county, and erected the log house in which he and his bride commenced housekeeping and in which their son Zadoc W. was born. During this period and for a long time afterward the absence of railroads compelled the planters to take their produce to distant markets, and the father hauled his to Tallahassee. On the return trip he brought back such supplies as could not be produced at home and such as were then considered among the prime necessities of import—salt, coffee and sugar. There was but little traffic at the time in dry goods, since the women of the household carded, spun and wove the cotton and wool into the cloth with which all were then dressed. After a residence for some years on the Glasgow tract the father sold and then bought in the Boston district, where he lived until his death at the age of about seventy. Barney Howell married Smitty Ann Mooring, who was also born near Wilmington, North Carolina, her father, Henry Mooring, and wife, having spent all their lives in North Carolina. Mrs. Barney Howell survived her husband by a few years. She reared six children, named as follows: Virginia Caroline, Zadoc W., Rebecca Ann, Lizzie, Mary and Robert. Zadoc W. Howell spent his early years on his father's farm and there acquired the training and experience which served him well when he began his own independent career. After his marriage, which occurred when he was nineteen, he settled on a place of one hundred acres which his father-in-law had bestowed upon the young couple, and this was the nucleus of the large farm which he still owns and occupies. As a farmer he was successful from the start, and from time to time has added to his estate until it comprised sixteen hundred acres, one of the best farm properties in the county. In addition to his regular pursuits he has for the past twenty-five years conducted a farm commissary. He has identified himself with the Farmers Alliance and the Grange, and he and his family are members of the Missionary Baptist church. In 1868 Mr. Howell laid the foundation of his own home and his prosperous career by his marriage to Miss Minerva Cone, who was born on the 3d of April, 1848, in Thomas county, with which vicinity her family have been identified from the time of earliest settlement. Her grandparents, Joseph and Mary Cone, settled in Camden county, Georgia, towards the close of the eighteenth century, and from there came to Thomas county, where they spent the rest of their lives. James Cone, father of Mrs. Howell, was born in Camden county in 1800 and was a young man when he located in Thomas county. He bought land near Barwich, where he lived some years, and then bought an estate in lot 273 of the Boston district. He was a resident of Thomas county until his death at the good old age of eighty-seven. He married Rachel Lovett, who was born in Twiggs county in 1815. Her parents, James and Katie Lovett, came to that part of Irwin county, now Thomas county, in 1825, locating near the present site of Barwieh, where they improved a farm and spent the rest of their days. Rachel (Lovett) Cone died in her ninetieth year. She reared nine children, whose names were Rachel, James, Francis Marion, Melissa, Minerva (Mrs. Howell), Mary V., Margian A., Walton and Warren. Of the two children of Mr. and Mrs. Howell, James, the only son, died at the age of twenty-three. Their daughter, Emma Magnolia, is the wife of Augustus C. Milligan, who was a son of Edward A. and Lorena (Jones) Milligan (see sketch of Edward C. Milligan). The grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Howell by the marriage of their daughter are named James A., Troy Alabama, Myrtle Magnolia, Charlie Mae and Ocie Galloway Milligan.
