Correction: i mistakenly got the Stephenson name wrong. Her name is Margaret Budd Stephenson of Covington, Ga. and is a descendant of james Wyly and Jemima Cleveland through their daughter Elizabeth Wyly, sister of Gen. J.R. of Clarkesville- Hiawasse- Toccoa and Tenn. Margaret and Velma Kay Hugghins supplied most of the Wyly pages in Sevier Family History book. John Cleveland, son of Col. Ben lived with james Rutherford and Sarah Clark Wyly in Toccoa, Ga. Traveller's Rest Inn, sold to them by Gen. Joseph Martin, brother in law of Col. Ben through Graves sisters. The property was owned in Cherokee Nation lease by Jesse Walton who left it for the Ga. Gold fields, which was part of the reason for the trail of Tears. Gen. Wyly sold it to a Jarrett- Lucas family (Tennessee Wylys were closely intermarried to some Lucas families. ) when he and Sarah separated. They sold it to State of Georgia. Clemson U. and others hold weekend classes in Blacksmithing and pioneer crafts there. Tell the guide you are a Wyly and they will show you the pegged rafters in the 3rd story family sleeping loft. and maybe some family records. James Rutherford Wyly and Frances Wallace raised her daughter Emily Bradshaw and Absolam Cleveland and Mary Yowell's son John Cleveland , named for his Uncle John. Col. Ben's brother(not son) John was a Baptist minister. So was his former Slave Toby Cleveland,his gunsmith and blacksmith. tOBY USED HIS INHERITANCE TO BUY gA. AND s.c. LAND AND ESTABLISH CHURCHES. tHE CHURCh SARAH WYLY ATTENDED- A mISSIONARY Baptist Church integrated before 1840 according to their records Gen Wyly's building crew refused to build the Clarkesville Episcopal Church for Charleston summer tourists until they agreed to include a free access balcony for fre Blacks, slaves, Indians, and unknowns to worship without shareing a family owned pew. This church still stands near the Oldest Clarkesville, Ga. Cemetery, 1 block from downtown. Take care, Charles Wyly The State of Ga. calls Traveller's Rest Inn 3 family ownership from settlement to date. Looks like 2 family to me, and posssibly, loosely, one family ownership. Gen. Wyly and Sarah Clark Wyly are buried side by side - one unmarked grave between them in Clarkesville, Ga. and Gen. Ben, raised by Col. Ben Cleveland as his son but really his grandson, is buried 1 row forward and 3 over from Gen. Wyly, his lifelong friend as well as cousin. The book published by Ga. Department of Natural Resources TRAVELLER'S REST AND THE TUGALOO CROSSROADS HAS MUCH WYLY-CLEVELAND-WARD-WALTON-LUCAS- "HACKETT" (HATCHETT?) jARRETT, MARTIN AND OTHER RELATED HISTORIES WHICH MATCHES SOME INFO IN THE BOOK- THE TRAIL OF TEARS. These books are available either from the State of Georgia or Inter Library loan. Clemson and Talahassee libraries have loaned copies to me through the Waco Public library ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
