This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Hall, Braswell, Blackshear, Lacy, Wyche Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/0d.2ADE/1374 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on the Hall men who were living in Thomas County during the 1830 census. These were: Ignatious, James, John, John C, Jourdan, Kindred, Thomas, and Thomas L. Hall. I believe that some of these men migrated to Thomas County from Emanuel County Ga. My 3great-grandfather Juniper Hall Sr left land in Early County to his sons Thomas and James. This area became part of Thomas County. Juniper died in 1828. I think that Kindred, Thomas, and James Hall from the 1830 census may have been sons of Juniper Hall. They may be related to the Braswell family. Many think Juniper's first wife was Elizabeth Braswell. A Kindred Hall married Susan Kornegay in Pulaski Co Ga in 1823. I think this is the Kindred Hall who was in Thomas Co in 1830. A direct descendant of James G Hall says he was Juniper's son. His exact birthdate is unknown, but he died in Thomas Co in 1841. His oldest son was also named Juniper. This Juniper married Artemisia Lacy in 1842. Her father was Baptist minister John Butler Lacy. Juniper lived on the Wychte Plantation where he was murdered , according to extracts from "Thomas Co Newspapers 1857-1875." Juniper died Nov. 25, 1873. I am also interested in who the parents of John C Hall were. This is probably the John C in the 1830 census: John Choice Hall b 1810 Ga married Mary Louise Blackshear b 1810 Pulaski Co Ga, daughter of Gen Edward Blackshear and Emily Goodwin Mitchell. They married on ?/27/1828 in Thomas Co Ga according to Marriage Bk A, pg 16. My information is that they died young and Emily Blackshear raised their two sons. John C. does not appear in the 1840 Thomas Co census. Ignatious Hall and Jourdan (or Jordan) Hall also may have moved to Thomas County from Emanuel County. Does anyone know any family history for these two men? Any information on the above individuals would be very helpful.

Some of these Sellers and Joiners are still pretty confusing to me at this point, though I must say that is a step up from the near-total ignorance that I had about them till a few weeks ago. Jacob Benjamin Sellers' wife Georgia Ann Joiner was born in Camilla, Indian lands (I have seen birth years for her varying from 1811 to 1819). Her parents Bennett Joiner and Charity Sherrod ended up in Sumter County. Jacob Benjamin (who was born in North Carolina) and Georgia Ann married in Pulaski County in 1838 and their son Richard M. (my great grandfather after who I am named) enrolled in Company B of the 11th Georgia Infantry Regiment in Hawkinsville, Pulaski County, in 1862. In 1847 I found Jacob & Georgia joining by letter and being dismissed by letter from the Ebenezer Baptist Church at Ellaville which was then in Sumter County, but has been in Schley County since 1857. I have not yet found the family in the 1840 census. In 1850 they are in the census in Dooly County. In 1860 they were in the census in Terrell County. In 1860 their oldest son George W. Sellers was living in Camilla, Mitchell County, with the Alfred Joiner family. I'm not sure what the kinship was with Alfred. I am pretty sure that he was not a brother of Georgia Ann, so I suspect that he was probably an uncle or cousin. Interestingly, there were also men named Jacob Sellers living in both Calhoun County and Schley County in 1860, and from both their names and where they were located I suspect that they were related to Jacob Benjamin Sellers... but he was clearly the one who was living in Terrell County that year. Here's where this begins to get complex... My great grandfather was born either in 1846 or 1847 with only his Confederate disability discharge saying 1847, and that discharge has another tidbit, his place of birth (given as Hiawassee, Towns County), which I believe to be wrong as well. I suspect that my great grandfather Richard M. Sellars was named after another Richard Sellars who was born in North Carolina in 1788 and moved to Georgia in 1830 (this information is on his gravestone in Schley County)... particularly since it is known that Jacob & Georgia were in the Schley County area in 1847... more or less in the time frame that their son Richard M. was born. All of the oral information that I have encountered says that Jacob B. Sellers' father was named William, so I suspect that Richard was either a very much older brother of Jacob B. (who was born in 1805), or, it would seem more likely, an uncle or cousin. Jacob B. was enrolled in Company E of the 51st Georgia Infantry Regiment which was raised in Baker & Calhoun counties, on March 4 1862. That is the only clear record of his Confederate service, but there was a record of a Jacob A. Sellers of the 51st Georgia in the Post Register for Albany Georgia for 20 May (no year given) and I believe that is actually a record of his hospitalization in 1862... the "A." just being a mis-reading of a hand-written "B." Typically there was a high mortality rate among soldiers of new Confederate units, from contagious disease... and based on oral history I believe that Jacob B. died within a matter of a couple of weeks after he "joined" the Confederate Army. Oral history says that his father "died in the war" and that Richard M. "ran away from home" and joined the Confederate Army... with an implied causal relationship between the two events. There is no record of Richard M.'s actual date of enrollment in Company B of the 11th Georgia Infantry Regiment... but he appeared in the unit in Virginia in a record dated 7 to 22 May 1862, so I believe that he was enrolled in late April or early May. It would have taken a bit of time to get from Pulaski County to Virginia... possibly from 7 to 22 May, because the record covering that time period was for "commutation of rations"... typically a reimbursement for meals eaten by a soldier purchased from his own pocket in transit. George W. enrolled in the same company of the 51st Infantry Regiment on the same day as his father. He was wounded at Funksville, MD, on 10 Jul 1863 during Lee's retreat after the Battle of Gettysburg, and he died in a Confederate hospital at Kingston, Bartow County, GA, on 13 December 1863. His back pay was requested by Susan O. Sellars, who stated that at the time of her petition that she was somebody's sister-in-law (I can't read whose), and that both of his (and Richard M.'s) parents were dead. The petition was headed as having been made in Calhoun County, and I very much suspect that Richard M. Sellars was actually born in the Towns District of Calhoun County... because though the family moved a lot from county to county I do not find them anywhere out of the upper part of S.W. Georgia.. Unfortunately the petition document is in terrible condition and so far out of four pages I've been able to make sense... I think... out of only a few lines of it. The same lawyer who prepared this petition, William A. Walton, Attorney, in October 1863 and February 1864 also prepared petitions for a similar purpose for the pay of a Sergeant John M. Sellars of Company F of the 47th Georgia Infantry Regiment (originally Company F of the 11th Georgia Infantry Battalion) in which he enrolled in Appling County, also on 4 March 1862. Sgt. Sellers died at the University Hospital, Cassville, GA, in on 18 October 1863. The petitions concerning Sgt. John M. Sellars are not in his file. The bulk of the records comprising the Compiled Confederate Service records are extracts from muster rolls and other types of rolls... and the information was extracted from those rolls in about the 1890s, by clerks employed by the U.S. War Department, at the request of the former Confederate states and for the purpose of verifying Confederate pension claims made by veterans and widows of veterans, to the governments of the former Confederate states. However, some records published in the "Official Records of the War of the Rebellion" are just cited by location, and any actual, original Confederate records that were found that applied to only one person, or sometimes to two or three persons, were added to these extracted records. If they pertained to more than one person, they were put in one person's "file" and cross reference cards were created and put in the files of the other affected persons. There is a cross reference card in Sgt. John M. Sellars' record, to the file of a Corporal E. Phineas Bryan of the 47th Georgia. The handwriting of the cross reference card is so crabbed, though, that I can't understand it. But... either there or elsewhere I have hopes of going back to the Compiled Confederate Service records and perhaps finding those petitions related to John M. Sellars. In the meantime I don't know what they say... but I suspect that Susan O. Sellers may have been involved in all of them and that information in the petitions may explain the relationships of the various Sellers/Sellars involved... There was also an Eli (Elijah?) Sellers who was enrolled in Company D of the 47th Georgia Infantry Regiment... The only record of him is that he was "absent sick" in August of 1862. I do not think that this was the same Elijah who married Susan because they lived in Mitchell County and Company D of the 47th Georgia Infantry Regiment was raised in Screven County... plus my best guess (but it's only an "educated guess") is that this Eli probably died in the hospital in 1862. I also note that not in the service records, but in the pension records... a John H. Sellers of Appling County applied for a pension but his claim was denied for lack of proof. He would have been probably 15 or 16 years old at the time, and claimed to have joined Company B of the 11th Georgia Infantry Regiment... the same unit that my great grandfather Richard M. Sellars had served in... but the testimony in his application spoke of surrendering in Athens, Georgia... and the 11th Georgia Infantry Regiment was in Virginia. My guess is that this young John H. Sellars probably did enlist in the 11th Georgia, but that was at the very tail end of the war and Georgia was in a mess with Sherman and all... so he was probably just farmed out as a "recruit" to some other unit... and as a young kid at the time was unable to recall and explain as an old man what he did but had little understanding of as, virtually, a child. Interestingly but probably entirely coincidental and irrelevant, his witness statements came from Habersham County (see James Lunsford Sellers, below). I cannot connect the dots in all of this, but it seems to me that there are indeed dots, and that they are indistinctly indicative of family relationships of some form or another... George W. died. Richard M. ran away from home & never returned. That left a brother between them in age, James Lunsford Sellers, who I find no record of after 1860 unless it is one in Habersham County in 1870 (and that seems an unlikely location)... Charles M. who was about 4 years younger than Richard M. (who I find no record of at all after 1860), plus sisters Sabra Ann, Martha A., Josephine, Elizabeth Bethany and (I think but am not sure because she was not born until August of 1861 and was on no census record I have been able to find yet, as a child) Georgia Ann... all minor orphans except maybe James Lunsford. Martha A. ("Mattie" or "Matt") and Elizabeth Bethany married brothers, Virgil Asa Veal, Sr. and Millard Fillmore Veal, in DeKalb County. I have no idea how the got there or who they stayed with while they grew up to marriageable age. Millard Fillmore Veal and Elizabeth Bethany Sellars moved to Indian Territory before 1900, as did many of the children of Virgil Asa Veal and Martha A. ("Mattie" or "Matt") Sellers, though their parents stayed in Georgia. Matt Veal and her daughter Lizzie stayed with my great grandfather Richard M. Sellars near Cairo in Thomas (now Grady) County, GA, where they both appeared in a family photo taken in 1916. Apparently Richard M. was reunited at least with Elizabeth and Martha A. by a man I had always thought (from my interpretation of oral history) was named Alford Sellars. However, it now appears to me that this was probably Alfred Joiner who Richard M.'s brother George W. was living with in 1860. Alfred Joiner was still living in Camilla, Mitchell County, in the 1870 census... and I don't know where he was in between, but in 1900 he was living in the Blowing Cave District of Decatur County. Although that was Decatur County and Richard M. Sellars was living in Thomas County... in 1905 when Grady County was created... both places ended up in Grady County. According to oral history, "Alford" was a traveling stove repairman, and in his travels he found Richard M. at his home near Cairo. Sabra Sellers (age 17) was also gone from Jacob B. and Georgia Ann's home and showed up living in the household of (first name unreadable... maybe Kermit) Linsey (age 38) in Dooly County in 1860, along with a 74 year old midwife named Sabra Joiner. I suspect that she was living with a namesake relative in the Joiner family, who was probably kin to the head of household's wife, Martha Linsey... perhaps her mother. Sabra A. Sellers who bought federal land in Montgomery County, Alabama, in 1892, might be her as well... Josephine Sellers was exactly the right age at the time to be a single mother who shows up with 4 children ages 10 to 16 in Decatur County in the 1870 census. She and her older daughter were listed as seamstresses and her older son was listed as a harness maker, but whether she never married or was divorced at this point I haven't a clue. It is also possible that this is some other Josephine who had married a Sellers. All I have to go on at this point is the name, and it is possible that is just a coincidence.. Georgia Ann Sellars married a John Pollock in Mitchell County. I found him or his father in various censuses in Houston County and Pulaski County as well as in Decatur County. I would like very much to be able to learn if I have correctly reasoned that Jacob Benjamin Sellers and Georgia Ann Joiner were her parents. My great grandfather also had a daughter named Georgia Ann Sellars, but she wasn't born till 1878 so this clearly isn't her. Richard White Tallahassee, FL
