    1. [MOMACON] Reunion of Veterans of 1812
    2. Sheryl
    3. I have a picture of the Reunion of the Veterans of 1812, at Macon, August 10, 1871. Photographer was George Wells. Presented by the City Council of the City of Macon. J. Daugherty, Mayor and D. P. Dobyns, Clerk. The photo composite has 25 pictures with names under each photo. All the names can be read but one. The following is a list of the names: Row 1: J. D. Butler Wm. Rayalty (sp?? may have been Railtree) M. M. Johnson C. Christian R. Powell Robert Boucher (my ggg grandfather) Row 2: W. Greathouse Thomas Kirkpatrick Fielding Combs John Rowe R. H. Nichols (my gggg grandfather) William McCann Row 3: Dr. Wm. R Snelson John Graves L. C. Brunson John W. Perrin John Buster ? (The name is very faded, some letters are visible?) Row 4: W. (?) Woodruff John Davenport George Brown B. C. Wright Elijah Williams J. W. Miller or Miles Row 5: Abrham Goodding The photo is mounted to poster board like material and apparently was nailed to a wall, I'm sure in a place of honor, but probably in some sunlight. If anyone has a copy of this please let me know, I'd like to verify all the name and if they were from Macon or Randolph County. I have found a newspaper article from the Huntsville Herald that was from the Reunion in 1870, I can match up about 8 of the names. Please feel free to contact be about this photo Sheryl Franklin Morgan
