In the History Of Ware Co. Ga by Mrs. J. L. Walker ---on page 395 it says that Theresa Hargreaves was the daughter of Mr. Abraham Hargreaves who was descended from John Hargreaves, Hair's House, Colne, Lancaster, England. Abraham Hargreaves inherited $70,000 from his father. Capt. Cuyler Hilliard made two trips England in the interest of the Hargreaves legacy. Capt. Hiliard finally secured the $70,000 in gold left to Abraham Hargreaves and in a most careful way turned over the bag of gold to Abraham Hargreaves. This $70,000 reached Mr. Hargreaves during the troubled days of 1865, and many homes of his relatives were brightened by substantial gifts from him. Captain and Mrs. Hilliard are buried in the Kettle Creek Cemetery in Ware Co. Georgia. LINDA
I have pictures of the Hilliard's and Hargreaves graves in Kettle Creek if anyone would like to have a copy? Wanda Hester Hammond dcclark wrote: > In the History Of Ware Co. Ga by Mrs. J. L.
