Did you know that former president Jimmy Carter wrote a book that has some history associated with the Quakers at Wrightsboro? Some of his ancestors (they were not Quakers) lived in or close to the settlement. His book is a novel but it has historical information in it. I just bought it and hope to read it soon when I have time. The name of the book is The Hornet's Nest<<< Today, I did go out and buy a a copy of "The Hornet's Nest", which is a novel of the Revolutionary War" -- a York Times Best Seller. According to The Wall Street Journal, "Carter has written an involving, instructive, exciting novel about the War for Independence as it was fought in Georgia and the Carolinas, backwaters usually overlooked by Massachu-centric historians." *********** http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/2064/wrights.htm Wrightsboro Inhabitants Website above has listing of Family Associations with the URL included: "The Mendenhall Family Association has much information on the Wrightsboro Mendenhalls: search their databases for 'Wrightsboro', 'Phineas Mendenhall' or 'Marmaduke Mendenhall' " Descendents of these two men, 1/2 brothers are sons of James J. Mendenhall, who with 2nd wife, Hannah Thomas, migrate from Chester Co., PA>Guilford Co., NC>Wrightsborough Settlement, GA . James Mendenhall died shortly after arriving in GA and he is buried there -- my 5th G-Grandfather. Many descendentsof Phineas Mendenhall's, as well as descendents of Marmaduke Mendenhall , were early settlers of the Miami River Valley, Ohio. (It was with the Preble County Library's genealogy group, that helped me started with genealogy of my G-Grandfather, Hiram C. Moore, OH>IN>IA married Elvira Mendenhall, NC>IN>IA>OR -- "the Mendenhall Connection"!. You see, Uncle Samuel Moore md. Alice Mendenhall of Lost Creek MM, E. TN and migrated to Economy, Wayne Co., IN.) http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/2064/wrightlist.htm Lists the Individuals This List includes: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/2064/Moore.html Richard Moore b. 22 12m 1697, Blockely Twsp., Philadelphia Co., PA, (son of John Moore and Jane Cuerton) m. 1720, in Philadelphia, Sarah Jenkins, b. 20 Feb 1697/8, d. 1784, Richmond Co., GA. Richard died 1784, Wrightsboro, Richmond Co., GA. It is the thought of Moore Reasearchers that my James Moore, b. NC??>E TN> Preble Co., OH, is of disowoned Quaker Moore, who travelled south from Philadelphiaa with the Quakers; and could be a descendent of John & Jane (Cuerton) Moore, Phildelphia and Immagrants from England. From the very starting date of late May 1998, different members of this MOORE group have suggested a relationship with some especially suggest coming from the Phiadelphia family and from a Mordecia Moore, disowned Quaker and lost to the family. The really strange thing is that Seymour Moore and a brother had land next door to my Moores in Preble Co., OH and again in Henry Co., IN -- they almost had to be related or "best friends! We did obtain copies of their BLMs of the lands back in abt 1998/1999. "---->and on and on"! I still haven't gotten back to real work in genealogy, since our selling our Arizona vacation home and selling our Illinois residence, following moving into a brand new home in Southern Maryland, just about a year ago. So keep an eye open for disowned Quaker Moore, especially for a Mordecia Moore of John & Jane (Cuerton) Moore family, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Thanks.
