Tradition says the village was named first Sylvania, later Round Oak, for a huge=20 oak tree under which the Indians held their powwows and which was over 100=20 years old. About 1810-1815 the Indian children were at play on the west side of=20 Falling Creek while the white settlers=92 children were at play on the east. The RR=20 came through in 1885 and a large water tank was built under the old oak whic= h=20 leaked and killed the tree by 1895. The tank was moved to Hillsboro in 1907= . Some of the early families here were: BUTTS, WHITES, HUNTS, BARRONS,=20 DAYS, HASCALLS, COULTERS, MARSHALLS, FUNDERBURKES,=20 GREENS, GORDONS, RICKETTS, OSBURNS, MCBURNEYS, REESE=20 GOODSONS, GRAY and WILBURNS. A half mile south of the old Sunshine Church, a log building (no one know th= e=20 denomination), also used for a field school. The Battle of Sunshine Church took=20 place here. In November 1864, this church was burned by Sherman=92s forces, and=20 in 1875 a church was built on the hill at Round Oak. The charter members hav= e=20 many of the names who had previously belonged to old Sunshine Church and the= y=20 are buried in the nearby cemetery. This church has in recent years been named=20 Sunshine Church II. One of the wounded Federals who had been hospitalized a= t=20 old Sunshine Church in 1864, wrote a letter and sent a newspaper clipping to the=20 HUNTS who befriended him, and which letter is now in their possession from=20 which I quote: =93I preached in the new church at Round Oak, 25 years afte= r I was=20 wounded and prisoner near here at old Sunshine Church. I brought my wife an= d=20 daughter from Shelby, Ohio with me to visit the J.M. HUNTS. After the service I=20 walked around the church looking over the grounds where we did some of the=20 hottest fighting and under the church I found several 50-calibre bullets and minie=20 balls.=94 Signed by Sgt. B. F. MORRIS of Shelby, Ohio. During the skirmishing, a cannon was set up under the historic oak by the=20 confederates. I have one of the shells in my possession, also a Yankee gun and=20 other cannon balls. The Federals shot into the house (later owned by George B.J.=20 WHITE) north of Round Oak thinking that WHEELER had his headquarters=20 there. This ten pound cannon ball I have as it was dug out of a huge sill thirty=20 years later. Children attended the old field school or had private teachers until a small= =20 subscription school was started. Some of the early teachers were: Rev. E.W= .=20 SAMMONS, Rev. T.W. ELLIS, Mr. SEARCY, W.E. PATTERSON (later Chr.=20 Of the GA Prison Com.), B.F. MEEEITT, Claude CHILDS and others. About=20 1880 a school house was built on the church grounds, the school burned in 1910. =20 In 1912 a new two-story building was constructed near the depot. This building=20 had four teachers and 125 pupils. In 1923 this building was considered unsafe=20 and was taken down and the material used for a one-story building and auditorium=20 which served until 1946 when the school was consolidated with the Jones County=20 High School at Gray. The first stores were run by L.O. BENTON & Co. from Monticello and the clerk= s=20 were John MALONE and Milton CAMPBELL. They had large stables where=20 they sold mules, wagons, and farming implements. Other stores here were: J.W.=20 TURK, Dr. Ben BARRON, B. WALKER, E.P. HUNT. W.H. BARRON and=20 George GORDON. George GORDON also had a cotton warehouse and his clerk=20 was George PURSLEY. Early on morning, a fire broke out in the store owned b= y=20 E.P. HUNT which burned the whole town except a store owned by J.T.=20 WILLIAMS. In 1901 BARRON and HENDERSON put up another store. =93Little Rick RICKETTS,=94 lived where later W.H. HENDERSON built his home.= =20 RICKETTS farmed and made shoes. He went to the Army with the Jones Co.=20 Volunteers in the 12th GA Regiment and although he was only five feet and a few=20 inches, he was as brace as could be. The boys in his company said that when Lee=20 invaded Maryland, they had to wade the Potomac River. Long Jim GOOLSBY=20 was six and one-half feet tall and very thin. He plunged into the water which=20 came up to his chin then he looked back to the bank at =93Little Dick=94 and yelled,=20 =93Come on Dick,=94 to which he replied, =93All right, let me roll up my pan= ts,=94 which=20 brought a laugh from his comrades. =93Little Dick=94 went across the Potoma= c on the=20 shoulders of his friend, =93Long Jim GOOLSBY.=94 He made a fine soldier and= =20 could take down anyone twice his size. Henry MARSHALL and his family lived out near the DAY-BARRON place and=20 he was the carpenter who built the church here. One son, Starling MARSHALL=20 was the engineer on the Central passenger train, and to let the folks know who=20 was behind the throttle he would give many fancy toots on the steam whistle as he=20 approached the station. =93Sugar Hill,=94 was west of Round Oak 7 miles and in 1892 they had a great= =20 commencement at the school. Several buggies, surreys with the fringe on top, and=20 young men on horseback went to this affair. The rains poured, the bridges=20 washing out and the night was dark and many attendants from here were days=20 getting home. In 1900 the second Jones Co. Fair was held here. This fair was a red-letter day in=20 this little town and many oldsters still tell of the horse running away and of prizes=20 awarded by the Judges, the drawnwork, the exhibits of farm products and the=20 picnic at =93Smith=92s Park.=94 In 1904 two families from Asbury Park, N.J., Mr. And Mrs. Sam PATTERSON=20 and sons Henry and George, Mr. and Mrs. A.W. DEY and children, Helen and=20 Sam bought lands a mile south of Round Oak and built a large Colonial home.=20= =20 They were friendly and hospitable and beloved in the community. The home wa= s=20 sold to the G.W. JACKSON family about 1914. Early physicians who practiced here were: Dr. Ben HOLLAND, Dr. C. H.=20 RIDLEY, Sr. Dr. J.T. GARLAND (from Hillsboro) and Dr. T.A. WHITE. Out in Hammocks District, G.M.. 377 where New Hope church is located, there=20 were many early families: JACKSONS, JARRELLS, BURNS, HAMMOCKS,=20 PIPPINS, MAYNARDS, CRUTCHFIELDS, RUSSELS, COULTERS,=20 MIDDLEBROOKS, GORDONS, GREENS, GRESHAMS, GLAWSONS AND=20 HUFFS. =20 On out near the Ocmulgee River were: HODGES, DAMES, BEELANDS,=20 GLOVERS, ZELLNERS, VANZANTS, TRIBBLES, HERNDONS, GREENS,=20 and others. Up in the northwest corner of Jones, called Cornucopia or Sugar Hill=20 were: TIDLEYS, MITCHELLS, John KELLY, Mac PATTERSON, Wm.=20 BROOKS, Lane JACOB, Bryan LEE, KING< GARLANDS, Isaiah PACKER,=20 Isham MEADOWS, and others. =93Fiddlers Rest,=94 long since disappeared, was a notorious place for drink= ing and=20 gambling, two miles west of Round Oak. This was a crossroads where men=20 gathered at a store and barroom run by George MANN who held shooting=20 matches, gander pulling, gambling and wrestling. Often under the influence of=20 drink, men cut and fought and some died here. There were five or six houses near=20 here at that time. Round Oak has a population of about 200 (1957) a post office with Mrs. R.L.=20 WHITE as Postmaster, it is on Hwy No. 11, Central RR and is adjacent to the=20 many thousands of acres owned by the U.S. Government called =93Piedmont=20 Wildlife Reserve,=94 on the west and =93Soil Conversation District,=94 on th= e east; also=20 =93The Hitchitee Reserve,=94 on the southeast.

Since many of our ancestors were in Jones County during this early period, it's nice to know about this! Fort Hawkins was originally located in Jones County, however the old fort location is now in Bibb County across the river from Macon, Georgia. Fort Hawkins was built in 1806 by Colonel Benjamin Hawkins, U.S. Indian Agent. It overlooked the mounds at Ocmulgee Old Field, as well as the future site of Macon, across the Ocmulgee River. It was located on a 100 acre reserve, and played an important part in the Area's life and Indian relations. The earliest nearby white settlers came in 1818. The Fort or Factory as it was called then, consisted of two large blockhouses, connected by a strong stockade. The stockade was made of hewn timbers, 14 feet long and 14 inches thick, sunk in the ground 4 feet, with port holes for muskets at each alternate post. The area within the stockade encompassed about 1.4 acres. The blockhouses were at the southeast and northwest corners of the rectangular stockade, and were constructed similiarly - about 28 feet square at the base, two stories and a basement, totaling 34 feet in height, surmounted by watch towers 8 feet high. The basement was built of blocks of stone 18 inches thick, and was 10 feet high. The first and second stories were each 12 feet high, and were made of hewn logs 12 inches thick, with port holes for cannon and musketry. The second floor extended over the first by 3 feet on all sides, with holes in the floor of the part projecting, so that if Indians reached the blockhouse and attempted to scale the stone basement, they could be shot down from above. There were four long houses, made of logs, inside the stockade, one in t

    3. http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/TwiggsObits I just posted the obituaries that came in through the Twiggs List on the Obituary Board. The reason I wanted to do this, is so these surnames would come up in the Search Engines. Anyone can do the posting themselves, or if you'd like, I'll be happy to post it for you. Listing the Surnames (no first names) listed in the obituary is the most important thing as this helps with some of the maiden names. I'm so grateful to the two of you for digging out your obituaries....and I do hope this will inspire someone else to do the same!! Virginia

    1. [GATWIGGS] Twiggs County Obituary

    3. The following are three obituaries for my great grandfather, Luther Lawrence Griffin of Jeffersonville, Twiggs County, GA who was born Feb 20, 1870 and died October 24, 1941. Numerous names are mentioned and I felt these obituaries might be helpful to others researching their "trees". L. L. GRIFFIN, NATIVE OF TWIGGS COUNTY, DIES IN ATLANTA Mr. Luther Lawrence Griffin, a native of Twiggs County, for fifteen years its county tax receiver, former state legislator, and lately a special officer at the state capitol, died of a heart attack in Atlanta late last Friday. He was affectionately known as "Uncle Luke" by those of his home county. He was prominent in the church, being a member of the Jeffersonville Methodist Church, and was a Mason of good standing. Although he was 71 years of age, he was active until the last day of his life. His parents were the late Rev. William Griffin and Mrs. Mary Lingo Griffin. The funeral was held in Jeffersonville Sunday afternoon with Rev. J. Frederick Wilson, the Rev. D. Morris Smith and the Rev. A. W. Quillian officiating. There were friends and relatives present from far and near, and was one of the largest funerals held in a long time in the Jeffersonville Methodist Church. The large array of floral offerings attested the love and esteem in which he was held by those who were close to him in his every day walk of life. He was the father of our own Mrs. J. J. Johnson and Mr. W. H. Griffin., who have the sympathy of Cochran friends. Surviving are his wife, the former Miss Gillie Myrick; three sons, W. H. Griffin, of Cochran, R.S. and L. L. Griffin, Jr. of Jacksonville, FL; six daughters, Mrs. J. J. Johnson, of Cochran; Mrs. H. L. Chance of Danville; Mrs. Clarence Thompson, of Toomsboro; Mrs. J. H. Holmes, of McRae; Mrs. Johnnie Sanders of Jeffersonville, and Mrs. Marie Brown of Jacksonville; a sister, Mrs. Minnie Hudson of Ocilla; and a brother, E. S. Griffin of Ocilla; sixteen grandchildren and one great grandchild. A large number of friends and relatives attended the funeral last Sunday afternoon of Mr. L. L. Griffin, which was held in Jeffersonville at the Methodist Church. He was the father of Mr. W. H. Griffin and Mrs. J. J. Johnson, who are residents among us. His death is being deplored as an incurable grief, as he was widely known and much favored.
