Just beyond the station to the northeast was a rather thickly settled community, among whom were: John BRADLEY, John Wiley BRADLEY, T.F. BRADLEY, W.H. MULLIGAN and J.J. GLAWSON. This community was named Franks for the grandfather of John Wiley BRADLEY. Wiley Franks was the largest land owner in this section and it is said here that he was one of the signers of the Ordinance of Secession. He died in 1865. From Wiley FRANKS descended the BRADLEYS and BARNES and the MULLIGANS. These three having married his daughters. John W. BRADLEY and Allen WHEELER gave the right of way for the railroad, they and their families were given passes on the trains. Mr. BRADLEY became the first depot agent, later Joe BURNEY was the depot agent for many years. The first store was built and operated by J.W. BRADLEY. This building was later converted into a dwelling and is now occupied by Mr. & Mrs. Claude GLAWSON and family. Other early merchants were M.H. MULLIGAN, G.W. GORDON, A.L. HARRIS and Warren WINTERS. Dr. B. I. O'KELLY was the first physician in Bradley. The first school was a one room house near the home of J.J. GLAWSON which also served as a meeting house. Later J.W. BRADLEY gave the land for a church and school at the station. The deed of land was given for the church on July 16, 1897 and the church completed in the early spring of 1898. John BRADLEY father of J.W. BRADLEY was one of the largest contributors. He gave the building and wrote the data which was placed in the cornerstone. The schoo

Copied by permission from "History of Jones Co., GA by Carolyn White Williams Written by Louise Morton FORTVILLE Among the old landmarks of Jones County is the "Old Fort," sometimes called "The Fortification," the site of an early Indian trading post or fort. Now referred to locally as Fortville, it is located in Pope's District, Military District No. 358. It was located at the crossing of the upper stage road from Milledgeville to Macon by Clinton and on the Garrison Road to Blountsville and Eatonton. It was also the crossing of two old Indian trails between Ocmulgee and Oconee Towns on to Eagle Rock in Putnam, "Choctaw Trail." At intervals through this section and up near Cedar Creek were large Indian mounds said to have been built for giving signals. Now demolished through years of cultivation of the land, traces of these mounds are still distinguished. Arrowheads abound in this vicinity. A fine spring in a sheltered spot at the foot of a steep drop off of thirty or more feet near one mound made it an ideal spot for an Indian camp or village. An act incorporating Fortville Academy was passed on Dec. 9, 1822. The trustees were: Robert HUTCHINS, Chr., John W. GORDON, Thomas JEFFERSON, William HARRIS, and Robert BROWN. Children were taught here before the day of free public schools. Almost opposite the Indian mounds a Methodist church was established in 1832 on land given by John W. GORDON. For many years this church was the largest and mot progressive rural church in middle Georgia. In 1879 the old church was torn down and replac

Blountsville, a stage coach station and a post office was a flourishing center of cultural and educational training before the War Between the States. The old Blountsville Academy was chartered in 1834 with Allen DRURY, William E. ETHRIDGE, John W. STOKES, Francis TUFTS and John W. GORDON as trustees. Blountsville is situated at a junction of roads from Clinton to Eatonton and from Milledgeville to Monticello, it is ten miles from Clinton and sixteen and one-half miles from Milledgeville. From Milledgeville to Monticello are two roads the one by way of Blountsville is best for it crosses no large watercourses. The other goes by way of Low's Mill on Cedar Creek and Half Acre. This village at the junction of two stagecoach routes, had a buggy, carriage and wagon shop, a wagon factory, stores and an outstanding Academy. This village was the center of a wealthy and aristocratic citizenry. Some of the families who lived here were: BLOUNTS, TUFTS, MILNERS, DRUMAS, MILLER, McCULLOUGH, HURT, CLARK, WILLIAMS, DRURY, GORDON, ETHRIDGE, FARRARS, and SMITHS. Rev. Benjamin MILNER, son of John MILNER of North Carolina was one of the early Baptist preachers of the County. His daughter, Mary Parks MILNER married Major John Francis TUFTS. She gave the land for the Baptist church and shared most of the expense of building it, donating a large Bible for the pulpit. Some of these MILNERS settled at Milner, Georgia, which is named for them. Thomas Bog SLADE, Baptist minister, and head of the Clinton Female

I sent my order in yesterday for the book. She also said that she has a very few copies of her other book left. If you had people that lived in Twiggs County for some time it is well worth the money.

David Washington washingtond@mindspring.com I'm corresponding with David who is going to be updating the Central Georgia Genealogical Society's page. http://www.rootsweb.com/~gacggs/ If you've not visited it you might want to bookmark it, as it contains already some helpful resources for researching. One of the things I'm trying to find out, is if Georgette Lipford still publishes a monthly column in The Macon Telegraph. The CGGS has links to her previous ones, which are very helpful. I've come to realize that the CGGS has been so important in Genealogical Research for our area of Georgia. They have published so many wonderful records and have such a positive attitude about sharing their information freely with all researchers. This Society covers all these counties and would be a great one to support with your membership... Visit the page to see some research benefits of membership... Virginia

I would be nice to collect some data of cemeteries in TWIGGS County. Some are already published, and although we may not be able to put them on-line due to copyright, I thought I'd start a list and at least point people in the right direction of where they can see a listing of these cemeteries. Does anyone on this list have old copies of Central Georgia Genealogical Society Quarterlies? There are several listed below which don't really give complete information as to the names....so if you could help me out with even that much it would be very helpful! Additionally, I'll bet that many of you on this list, do have a couple of families that you know are buried in Twiggs. If you would type up just what you have, with the name of the cemetery, and the Directions to it.....that would be a BIG beginning!! Who knows who you might connect with on this list by doing this! And remember, ONE person can make a difference!

They mailed me the two deeds I wanted (and even researched it a little) <grin> I received them today with an invoice. $3.00 each The address is: Patti H. Grimsley Clerk, Superior Court Twiggs County P.O. Box 228 Jeffersonville, Georgia 31044 (912) 945-3350 For land maps: Twiggs County Board of Tax Assessors P. O.

A big thank you to Donna (DELDRIDGE1@aol.com)!! She mailed me LOTS of copies of information from the HISTORY OF TWIGGS COUNTY. I am going to try to post it on the list in the near future. I want to finish typing the abstracts from my own research first. That way, I won't have to backtrack!!! Again -- THANKS DONNA!!!!!! I would also Like to thank Virginia Crilley...... she is getting all the research/ abstracts on the Twiggs page (eventually). She is doing a terrific job!!! Again -- THANKS VIRGINIA!!!!!! Sincerely Pat Twiggs List Manager

Can I please make a suggestion? I appreciate people emailing me....that is not a problem. But, I think it might help others to post all the inquiries to the Twiggs List! The post may help someone else. That is why I have been trying to forward all my responses to the List. I read everything that is posted and will reply. thanks Pat Twiggs List Manager

Thanks Virginia, Would anyone on the board be willing to help with this Cemetery project? Could someone maybe do some transcribing for the a LDS near you? Maybe post any books you may have pertaining to Twiggs or Jones or Wilkinson Counties. Lets all work together. thanks Pat Twiggs List Manager

List members- In reviewing census records for Twiggs Co., the word Gordon was printed at the top of each page. Can anyone tell me if this is presently a town in Twiggs Co., or maybe a post office district? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks, Deborah

If anyone is researching the WELLS family and JAMES families please let me know. I found out that a James Wells married a Francis (James). Francis was my Lucinda James' niece. Lucinda was my ggrandmother. They lived in Jones Counties. Lucinda James married my EVANS from Twiggs county. thanks pat
