PREFACE. 
 
 This volume contains an account of the family or families 
 named in the title page and of their descendants. The full work, 
 in five parts, contains all that is known to the compiler concerning 
 the Clark, Parks, Brockman and Dean families and their descend- 
 ants, his ancestors and kindred ; and of the Davis and Goss fam- 
 ilies and their descendants, the ancestors and kindred of his be- 
 loved wife, now deceased. 
 
 The separate parts are: No. I. The Clark Family; No. II. 
 The Parks Family ; No. III. The Brockman and Dean Families ; 
 No. IV. The Davis Family, and No. V. The Goss Family. 
 
 He engaged in the work with no intention of publishing it, but 
 instead he intended simply to leave a manuscript copy to his chil- 
 dren. After many inquiries as to his purpose, and with expres- 
 sions of desire from many persons to possess a copy, he deter- 
 mined to publish it in book form. He so announced, enlarged the 
 scope, invoked the aid of his friends, and has devoted much time 
 and patient labor collecting information for use in its preparation. 
 The work has assumed proportions greatly beyond his expecta- 
 tion. 
 
 The chronology of persons and families has had special atten- 
 tion. This, however, is not the highest function of genealogy, 
 valuable though it be in tracing and proving a line of descent 
 and relationship, but it is the preserving and presenting to our 
 contemplation the lives and real character of our ancestors and 
 kindred. This has been kept prominent and becomes therefore an 
 interesting feature of the work. 
 
 Each of the several parts of the work comprises a distinct line, 
 and the persons are named in the order of birth, so far as the 
 facts were obtainable. In some of the parts eight generations 
 are accounted for. 
 
 There is a system of reference by numbers, thus enabling one 
 with facility to trace the lineage and ascertain the exact relation- 
 ship of any person named in the book with any other person. 
 There are some remarkable genealogical tracings, degrees of re-

 lationship, the result of inter-marriage in related families, and 
 some of these it will be found impracticable to define. 
 
 There are a number of pages arranged for continuing the fam- 
 ily record in direct line of descent. Thus may be added many 
 generations and so the work will become an heirloom of value in 
 the coming centuries. 
 
 The work has been to the compiler a labor of love rather than 
 profit. If he has succeeded in rescuing from oblivion the names 
 and deeds of some of his ancestors and numerous kindred, he 
 will in some measure be compensated for his arduous labor, and 
 though his success has not been commensurate with his wishes 
 and efforts, he trusts his labors have not been in vain. It is a 
 matter of regret that not only the names of some but the deeds 
 of many equally worthy have not been obtained for use in its 
 preparation. He is greatly indebted, however, to his friends for 
 the prompt manner in which many of them have responded to 
 his request for information, and for words of cheer and encour- 
 agement, and to these is largely due whatever of success he has 
 achieved. He wishes especially to acknowledge his obligation to 
 his esteemed friend and kinswoman, Mrs. Alfred W. Parks, of 
 Clifton, S. C, for information relating to the Parks family ; to his 
 friend, his wife's kinsman, Dr. J. D. Garrard, late of Birmingham, 
 Ala., for information relating to the Davis and Goss families ; to 
 Dr. Thomas M. Owen, Director of the Department of Archives 
 and History of Alabama, for courteous and generous aid in the 
 preparation of the work ; and finally to his very dear mother, but 
 for whose intelligence and great strength of memory he should 
 never have known so much of his ancestry and collateral kindred. 
 
 To his mother he dedicates the work in loving and tender mem- 
 ory and affection.

THE DAVIS FAMILY 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 
 i. 
 
 JONATHAN 1 DAVIS, who was the founder of the Davis 
 family in the United States of which the following account 
 treats, was born in England about 1730, and came to America 
 when quite young. We have more than one account of his early 
 history. Dr. John D. Garrard, late of Birmingham, Ala., who 
 was a great-grandson and who had devoted much time collecting- 
 information relating to his ancestry said: 
 
 ''Jonathan Davis was born, in England about 1730, and died in Wilkes 
 Co., Ga., in Feb. or Mar., 1818, His father died when he was quite small 
 and left him and a younger brother and perhaps one or two sisters, as well 
 as his mother, who married again. The step-father treated the boys 
 badly and Jonathan ran away when about twelve years old, and made his 
 way to America." 
 
 Another story of his early life is that "he was captured off the 
 coast of Wales when but a lad and brought to New York on a 
 piratic tramp trading vessel and disposed of upon some terms to 
 a New York merchant, who afterwards assisted him in making 
 a start in life." 
 
 The earliest reliable account we have of Jonathan Davis was 
 about the time of his marriage to Lucy Gibbs, a daughter of a 
 prominent Va. family. They were married about 1756. Miss 
 Gibbs was born about 1738 and died in Wilkes Co., Ga., about 
 1818. 
 
 Mr. Davis bought lands and settled in Orange Co., Va., where 
 his children all grew up and were married before he left Va., and 
 settled in Wilkes Co., about 1803. He gave his farm to his son 
 William, who moved into the house with his parents some time 
 before their death. (See copy of his will page 2.) Jonathan 
 Davis and his wife were the parents of nine or more children. 
 We find in his will that eight are named as legatees ; we have

 Genealogy of 
 
 no record of any others, but tradition has it that there were two 
 other sons, Jonathan and Reuben. It is said Jonathan died of 
 fever when about eighteen years old. Reuben must also have 
 died young or in early manhood, as we have no account of de- 
 scendants, and a perusal of the will discloses the fact that Jona- 
 than Davis was scrupulously exact in distributing his property 
 equally among his children. (See the will.) It is quite evident if 
 he had other children than those named in his will they had died 
 without living issue. 
 
 We find in Cathart's Baptist Encyclopedia a sketch of the 
 life of his son, Rev. William Davis. He speaks of "the con- 
 version of his parents, two other brothers, his youngest brother 
 and several of his sisters." This seems pretty clearly to indicate 
 there was at least one other son than those named in the will. 
 Sons and daughters in the order named were: 
 
 2. i. James 2 . 
 
 3. ii. Mary, b. about 1757; m. David Phillips. 
 
 4. iii. John, b. about 1759; m. Mary Easton. 
 
 5. iv. William, b. Jan. 7, 1765 ; m. Nancy Easton. 
 
 6. v. Lucy, b. ; m. Goodall. 
 
 7. vi. Mildred, b. ; m. Thomas Phillips. 
 
 8. vii. Susannah, b. Oct., 1769; m. Benjamin Goss. 
 
 9. viii. Elizabeth, b. about 1780; m. James Hitchcock.

 REV. JOHN 2 DAVIS (1) was born in Orange Co., Va., and 
 married Mary Easton in Va. He was born about 1759 and died 
 Oct. 9, 1 83 1. He came to the State of Ga., in early manhood and 
 was ordained to the ministry. He moved from Ga., to Franklin 
 Co., Tenn., thence in 1816, to Franklin Co., Ala., settling at Rus- 
 selville. He was the agent in God's hands in building up the 
 churches that formed the Muscle Shoals Baptist Association. 
 
 Reuben E. Davis, his son, in his book Recollections of Missis- 
 sippi and Mississippians, says : 
 
 "My father was one of the earliest settlers in this county (Russell 
 Valley, Ala.). He was a man of limited means and though of strong 
 and vigorous intellect, had only the imperfect education of the pioneers 
 of that day. His chief study was the Bible and a few volumes of history 
 which formed his only library. Although a Baptist Minister of high 
 standing, he occupied himself during the week, with ordinary farm labor, 
 and could never be induced to accept any compensation for his services 
 in the church; this would have been according to his belief, 'serving the 
 Lord for hire.' Both of my parents were born in Va. and remained there 
 until ten children were added to their family. Then they moved to 
 Tenn. and settled near Winchester, where I was the twelfth and last child 
 born. When I was about five years old my father moved from Tenn. 
 to North Ala * 
 
 "My father did not allow his children to read the Bible, holding that 
 it could only be studied with profit by those whose minds were fully 
 matured and informed by experience. I was, however, taught that the 
 world was exactly six thousand years old, and I believed it to a day; 
 I was told that Adam was created out of the dust of the ground ; and Eve 
 out of a rib of Adam's side ; I believed this too. I was informed that 
 placed in a delightful garden they ate of the forbidden tree and thus 
 came death and all our woe ! All this I devoutly believed upon my father's 
 testimony. My mother died when I was about twelve years old and the 
 grief which this loss occasioned, shadowed my existence for years. She 
 was a woman of great tenderness and sweetness of character and I was 
 passionately devoted to her. Through my whole life I have carried the 
 most affectionate memory of her in my heart."

 REV. WILLIAM 2 DAVIS (1) was born in Va., Jan. 7, 1765, 
 and married Nancy Easton, in Va., Miss Easton was born and 
 reared in Philadelphia, Pa., and was a Quakeress, but later in life 
 joined the Baptist Church. About 1793 Mr. Davis with his fam- 
 ily, which was of considerable size, moved to the State of Ga., 
 and settled in Wilkes Co. He was an excellent Baptist minister 
 as well as four of his sons and many of his grandsons. W r e find 
 in Campbell's Georgia Baptist, the following elaborate sketch of 
 the life and ministerial work of Mr. Davis: 
 
 "Rev. William Davis was a native of Orange Co., Va., where he was 
 born Jan. 7, 1765. His parents were poor but honest and respectable, 
 and were members of the Episcopal Church. He became concerned about 
 his soul at the early age of nine years. Two sermons which he heard about 
 this time, one by an Episcopalian, the other by a Presbyterian, made a 
 deep impression on his mind. The Baptist, then called 'newlights' com- 
 menced preaching in his native county about the same time. Much was 
 said against them, as those who were 'turning the world up side down' 
 which raised much anxiety in the mind of young Davis to hear them. The 
 first opportunity of the kind he enjoyed was to hear an exhortation and 
 prayer from one John Bledsoe. This served to deepen his religious im- 
 pressions, and frequently at that tender age he was known to go forward 
 voluntarily and ask the minister to pray for him. He continued serious 
 by turns, until in his fourteenth (14) year, a conversation he had with a 
 pious negro in his father's employment (a Baptist) fully aw r akened him to 
 a sense of his lost condition as a sinner. For some six months, his mind 
 was in great distress. During those days of darkness he w T ent far and 
 near, by day and by night, as far as lay in his power, to hear the gospel 
 from the Baptist preachers, who were itinerating through the country. 
 One night he went some four miles from his father's residence to attend 
 a meeting held by Elijah Craig. During the service his feelings became 
 such as to unnerve him, he swooned away, and remained in a helpless state 
 for some time. In this condition the Lord brought him deliverance to his 
 soul. He rose rejoicing, and began at once to exhort his fellow mortals 
 to flee from the wrath to come. At this time his parents resided in Cul- 
 peper County, and were opposers and persecutors of the Baptists. William 
 left the parental roof, rather unceremoniously perhaps, walked some four- 
 teen or fifteen miles to a Baptist church in Orange Co., called Blue Run, 
 where he was immersed in his fifteenth year.

 "As soon as he had discharged this solemn duty, he returned home and 
 submitted himself to his parents. Soon thereafter, being encouraged by his 
 brethern, he was in the habit of exercising publicly in exhortation and 
 prayer. These exercises were sanctified to the conversion of his parents, 
 his two older brothers, his youngest brother and several of his sisters. All 
 of these became Baptists and continued in the comfort of the Holy Ghost 
 until their death. At sixteen years of age though much against the will 
 of his friends, Mr. Davis, volunteered as a soldier of the Revolution, and 
 was for some time under the command of General Lafayette. He was 
 wounded in the head, suffered greatly from fatigue and hunger. While the 
 Army of Lafayette was on a forced march to join Washington in the 
 capture of Cornwallis, young Davis was without a morsel of food two 
 whole days. This having come to the ears of the General, he was sent to 
 his tent, and with his own hands he furnished the youthful soldier with 
 food. This kindness, on the part of Lafayette, was remembered with 
 gratitude all his life. He was heard to mention it during his last sick- 
 ness. He was present at the surrender of Cornwallis, and after the war 
 returned to his family, in Va., where he enjoyed the friendship and con- 
 fidence of the Madisons, Barbours and other distinguished men of the State. 
 
 "In 1788, he was licensed to preach the gospel, while yet in his native 
 State, and was ordained in Georgia by Dozier, Thornton and Thomas 
 Maxwell in 1793. His education was quite limited, yet he was a man 
 of strong mind, excellent memory, and a fine imagination. His manner 
 was easy yet forcible. He was an original thinker, and his style of oratory 
 was peculiar to himself — bold and energetic. His character was without 
 spot or blemish, and his piety was of a high order. One fact proves that 
 he lived the religion that he preached ; eleven out of twelve children 
 which he had, became worthy members of the church during their par- 
 ent's life time ; three of them preachers — Jonathan, James and Jesse and 
 two others, Jeptha and William Deacons. As a pastor, he stood high with 
 the church which enjoyed his watchful care. The church in the fork of 
 Broad river (Elbert County), he served twenty years; that at Beaver dam 
 twelve years ; Clark's Station nine years, etc. He possessed the faculty of 
 drawing out his brethren, who were called of God to the ministry ; among 
 those who raised up under him, were the following : E. Shakelford, Isaac 
 Shuttle, Elijah Mosely, Isham Goss, James Holis and Sylvanus Gibson. 
 
 "In the middle of life Mr. Davis was a person of fine appearance, weigh- 
 ing upwards of two hundred pounds. He suffered much in after life from 
 dropsy in the chest, and was so debilitated as to make it necessary that 
 he should resign all pastorial charges, yet was in the habit of visiting the 
 churches whenever he was able to ride, and when unable to stand, he 
 would preach in a sitting posture. While thus standing on the borders of 
 the tomb his ministry was greatly blessed. His farewell discourse to the 
 people of Elbert Co. was delivered while he sat on a table in the open air, 
 and such was the powerful effect produced, that it was regarded as the 
 commencement of one of the most glorious revivals ever experienced in 
 that county. He was decidedly favorable to ministerial education, and was 
 one of the Board of Mount Enon Academy. He was opposed to the loca- 
 tion, however, and always believed that that was the cause of its failure. 
 The temperance cause never had a warmer friend. On this subject he 
 addressed letters to the Sarepta and Georgia Associations, when too infirm 
 to attend their sessions. 
 
 "For several months previous to his death he had a presentiment that his 
 end was near — often spoke of it, and arranged all his worldly business with 
 reference to it. All his children were invited to make him a last visit, and 
 on doing so, he requested each of his sons to lay their hand on the scar 
 on his head (the result of a wound he received in his youth while a soldier 
 of the Revolution) and solemnly charged them severally to be faithful to 
 their country's interest and glory. He was in attendance on a Methodist 
 
The Davis Family.

 camp meeting some ten days before his death, when he was taken suddenly 
 ill. His wife, who was absent on a visit, was sent for as also his children. 
 When they arrived he told them the day and the hour he expected to 
 depart hence and be with Christ. When that day arrived he spent a part 
 of it in writing and to his friends present gave a circumstantial account of 
 his early life. Some two or three hours previous to his exit he was in 
 great pain and frequently called upon God for help. Of his son, Jonathan 
 and James, who had not yet arrived, he spoke in a most affectionate man- 
 ner. To his son, Isaac (the only one of his children not in the church), 
 he made a most touching appeal to meet his aged father in heaven. 
 
 "After bidding his wife and children a last farewell, he desired to be 
 raised up in the bed — then, raising his hands toward heaven, he shouted 
 aloud 'Victory ! Victory ! Victory !' laid down calmly and instantly expired. 
 This glorious triumph of faith took place on Oct. 31, 1831, in his 67th year." 
 
 His widow survived him eleven years. It is rather remarkable 
 that she did not become a professor of religion until after her 
 husband's death. She was finally baptized by her son Jonathan, 
 and died full of years in strong hope of eternal happiness. Chil-

 LUCY 2 DAVIS (1) was born in Va. and married Goodall. 
 (See will of her father.) Dr. Garrard and others, descendants 
 of the Davis family, have said Lucy married Richardson, but Mr. 
 Davis in his will calls her "my daughter Lucy Goodall." She 
 may have been twice married. Her husband died and left her 
 with two children. When the children were grown they and their 
 mother moved west and are lost trace of.

 ELIZABETH 2 DAVIS (1) youngest child of Jonathan Da- 
 vis, was born in Orange Co., Va., about 1780, and married James 
 Hitchcock in her native Co., Va., July 3, 1799. Mr. Hitchcock 
 was born in Va. in 1774. They remained in Va. several years and 
 then moved to and settled in Morgan Co., Ga., and in 1838 moved 
 to Burleson Co., Tex. Mr. Hitchcock and his brother built many 
 of the Court Houses in the State of Georgia. 
 
 Tradition has it that when seven years old James Hitchcock 
 carried a horse to his father at Yorktown, after the surrender of 
 the British to ride home, and that he rode home behind his father.

 REUBEN E. 3 DAVIS (4). The following account of the life 
 and career of Reuben E. Davis is gleaned from his book, Recol- 
 lections of Mississippi and Mississippians. He was the 12th 
 and youngest child of Rev. John Davis, was born in Winchester, 
 Tenn., and when about five years old, the family emigrated to 
 Ala., and settled in Russell Valley, where he was reared on a 
 farm, assisting in farm work and receiving only a common school 
 education. 
 
 He says in his book: 
 
 "While still a lad I left home to begin a new chapter in my preparation 
 for life. My father decided, after much hesitation and many misgivings, 
 that I should be allowed to study medicine. All my desires pointed even 
 then to the law, but my father held stubbornly to his peculiar theories on 
 this subject. It was very clear to him, he said, that lawyers were wholly 
 given up to the devil even in this world, and that it was impossible for any 
 one of them ever to enter the kingdom of heaven. This being the case, he 
 could not, in conscience, allow a son of his to enter the ranks of a pro- 
 fession foredoomed to everlasting burnings. He also entertained strong 
 doubts as to the final welfare of medical men in general, but admitted that 
 some few might be saved, provided they used their best endeavors not to 
 kill their patients and resisted the temptation to prolong illness with a 
 view to pecuniary profit." 
 
 "After solemn admonition on these points, I left home with my father's 
 consent and blessing, to read medicine with my brother-in-law, Dr. Hig- 
 gason, in Hamilton, Monroe County, Mississippi." 
 
 After about two years' study and preparation Dr. Davis com- 
 menced the practice of medicine in Russellville, Ala. He did not 
 practice but a few years, however, until he determined to take up 
 the study of law, and about 1832 was admitted to the bar and 
 moved to Monroe Co., Miss., to engage in law practice. In the 
 meantime he had married Mary Halbert. They discussed the mat- 
 ter of leaving her with her friends until he went to Miss, and 
 
The Davis Family.

 prepared a home for her. She was cheerful and resolute and pos- 
 itively refused to be left behind. She said they had married with 
 the full knowledge that they had their own way to make and must 
 make it together, and she expressed the most perfect confidence 
 that a bright future awaited them, if they should have courage 
 enough to be happy in the midst of the privations and hardships 
 of youth. "In short she encouraged and cheered me as only a 
 devoted wife could do, and though we had some hard experience, 
 1 do not remember a single moment of despondence on her part." 
 
 Mr. Davis began the practice of law at Athens, Monroe Co., 
 Miss., and soon became eminent as a lawyer, especially so as a 
 criminal lawyer. He was widely known and recognized for his 
 success in acquiting persons indicted for criminal offenses. He 
 says he defended many persons and never had a client hung. 
 
 Mr. Davis commanded a regiment in the Mexican War and in 
 1857 was elected to the United States Congress. He died sud- 
 denly at Huntsville, Ala., while on a tour selling his book. 
 
 There was no issue by his marriage to Miss Halbert. This wife 
 died and he married again. His widow resides at Aberdeen, 
 Miss. Children :

 Obituary. 
 
 Elder William Davis. — Being the last and only surviving member of the 
 family of eleven children of Elder William Davis, who died in Wilkes 
 county, Ga., in the year 1832. I take this method to give notice to the rela- 
 tives and friends of my last brother, Elder William Davis, of Heard county, 
 of his death, which occurred at his home in said county on the 17th day of 
 July, 1873. He was in the 77th year of his life. He joined the Baptist 
 Church at Clark's Station, in Wilkes Co., Ga., in the year 1828; was made 
 a deacon years after ; and in the latter part of his life was ordained to the 
 great work of the gospel ministry. He was one of the faithful and devout 
 men of God. Those who best knew him loved him most. He died as 
 above stated at his home in a remarkable way. The day before his death 
 he visited one of his Baptist brethren about two and a-half miles off, came 
 home in the evening, rested well and quietly all night, rose early next 
 morning and said to his wife and children that he would die that day, and 
 was unusually cheerful. He spent most of the morning reading religious 
 works. About half after eleven o'clock, lying on his bed, he made slight 
 complaint. His son William, who was eating his dinner at the time soon 
 finished his meal and went to look after him, but found he had gotten up 
 and walked out in the piazza and seated himself in a chair. His son no- 
 ticed that he looked a little pale in the face, and, laying his hand on his 
 head, asked him if he would not again lie down. He arose, walked into his 
 room and to his bed, law down and was dead in a minute. Died without a 
 groan or a struggle. Died ! did I say? Went to sleep in Jesus, his Saviour. 
 
 "Asleep in Jesus — blessed sleep, 
 From which none ever wake to weep ; 
 A calm und undisturbed repose, 
 Unbroken by the last of foes." 
 
 "He is gone where the pendulum vibrates ever always ! ever always ! and 
 the clock strikes no more !"

 Rev. JONATHAN 3 DAVIS (5) was born in Wilkes Co., 
 Ga., Nov. 17, 1798, and was twice married. His first wife was 
 Elizabeth Johnson, who bore ten children and died in 1841. Mr. 
 Davis' second wife was Mary Bledsoe, born Mar. 31, 1823, and 
 educated at Griffin, Ga. They were married July 30, 1844. There 
 were born of this marriage seven children. 
 
 Mr. Davis died Aug. 20, 1869. 
 
 Mrs. Mary Bledsoe Davis died Sept. 11, 1878. 
 
 We take the following sketch of the life and ministerial work 
 of Rev. Jonathan Davis from Campbell's Georgia Baptist: 
 
 "Rev. Jonathan Davis * * * * At what age he was converted we 
 are not informed, though it is believed to have been when he was yet 
 young. He was baptized by his father and soon after commenced preach- 
 ing. Soon after his ordination he took charge of a small church in Elbert 
 County, which had barely a nominal existence, and which had been on the 
 eve of dissolution for years. A gracious revival was soon experienced, and 
 the membership was increased to upwards of a hundred. About the year 
 1829, he became pastor of the church at Crawfordville, where he resided 
 for years, and where the greatest success crowned his labors. The church 
 enjoyed a succession of revivals, during which hundreds were converted 
 and baptized. The blessed influence extended to the neighboring churches, 
 which also experienced great prosperity. It is related of him that he bap- 
 tized sixty on a certain Sabbath morning at Bethesda church, Green county, 
 Ga." 
 
 "During a portion of the time of his residence at Crawfordsville he also 
 served the Antioch and Sugar Creek Churches in [Morgan county, in both 
 of which his ministry was eminently successful — said to have baptized at the 
 latter church upwards of seventy candidates on one occasion. At another 
 time said to have baptized more than eighty. There was no duty in which 
 he delighted more than administering baptism. Long before his ministry 
 ceased it was said he had baptized upwards of three thousand persons. 
 The temperance cause, which for a series of years, occupied much public 
 attention, and excited much interest, found in Mr. Davis an ardent friend 
 and an eloquent advocate. In fact there was no cause involving the inter- 
 est of his fellow-men, to the support of which he did not bring all the 
 ardor of his nature, all the gifts of oratory, with which he was so highly 
 endowed. He threw his whole soul into the support of the objects of the 
 Baptist State convention, especially the improvement of rising ministry. 
 His own education having been quite limited, he left nothing undone that 
 would contribute to the advantage of the young ministers rising up around 
 him. He accordingly made provision for the board and tuition of several 
 young brethren at Crawfordville, where he resided. 
 
 "He was of an exceedingly kind and Christian spirit. He was not a man 
 of strife, but a man of peace ; he delighted in being a peacemaker. He was 
 a man of strong faith — 'Have faith in God.' In the year 1835, while yet in 
 the zenith of his popularity and usefulness, he moved from Crawfordville 
 with several other prominent families from the same region and settled in 
 the village of Palmyra, on Kinchafoonce Creek, in Lee countv. Here he 
 spent many years in active ministerial labors, which were crowned with 
 abundant success in founding and building up churches and in giving the 
 Baptist a prestige in that section which they have never lost. He received 
 
i6 
 
 Genealogy of 
 
 active sympathy and liberal support from the intelligent and pious men who 
 emigrated with him to that region— the James Mercur and others of the 
 same class — and from those who were brought into the kingdom through 
 his instrumentality. Here also he raised a large family, many of whom or 
 their children reside in Southwestern Ga., and all of whom occupy responsi- 
 ble positions in society and are faithful adherants of the faith so ably ad- 
 vocated by their worthy sire. He died Aug. 20, 1869, and Mrs. Mary Bled- 
 soe Davis died Sept. 11, 1878. 
 
 The following sketch of the life and character of Rev. Jona- 
 than Davis is furnished by a friend: 
 
 Johnathan Davis was a unique character, self-made, independent. When 
 eighteen he married Elizabeth Johnson in her sixteenth year. He always 
 overlooked his father's farm and attended to all business of a secular 
 nature. 
 
 Rev. William Davis in making his will said: To my son Jonathan 
 I bequeath my blessing, my wife and five dollars. To my wife the 
 portion of two children. Jonathan baptized his mother after the death of 
 his father. She had retained her Quaker faith through a long useful life. 
 After her death he would have none of the "double portion," always 
 affirmed that the blessing was sufficient, all he wished. He was successful 
 as farmer, minister, and in raising a large family, upon whom the blessing 
 must have descended. 
 
 He was among the first settlers in South West Georgia. Bought up 
 quantities of government land and with the inducement of cheap homes 
 soon had the country around Albany and Palmyra full of inhabitants. He 
 was a king among the "princes of Southern hospitality." One of the 
 "knightliest knights of Southern chivalry." He had touched the scar on 
 the forehead of his father, received in defence of his country during the 
 Revolution and with all the sons promised to be true to "States Rights.'* 
 He was so opposed to secession he had every light put out in his home the 
 night Albany was illuminated when Georgia seceded. Yet when "the die 
 was cast" Sherman found him in Atlanta defending "States Rights." 
 
 He had corresponded with Senator Jefferson Davis before the war and 
 was so interested in his career as President of the Confederate States, 
 wrote several advisory letters, finally made one or two visits, hoping to 
 prevent one or two mistakes he was fearful would be made. One of his 
 daughters remonstrated when the letters were sent. He replied : "It may 
 look like conceit, but I cannot consider that when so much is at stake. 
 Your uncle James was a great admirer of Queen Victoria and at one 
 crisis in her reign when outside help seemed to be needed, wrote her a 
 letter full of good counsel. The course advised was certainly adopted." 
 
 Kit Warren, in his reminiscences of old Palmyra, says that more people 
 were baptized and more churches established by Jonathan Davis than any 
 other minister in the State. His special mission seemed to be making 
 strong the weak and. building up waste places. He was a friend to any 
 needing friendship. Many in Georgia can remember kindly aid given in 
 education. W. N. Chandoin in the cemetery at Albany dedicated to his 
 memory the sweet old hymn: 
 
 "Servant of God, well done, 
 Rest from thy loved employ; 
 Thee hath fought, the victory won, 
 Enter thy Master's joy."

 JEPTHA V. 3 DAVIS (5) was born in Wilkes Co., Ga, on 
 Dec. 10, 1 801. He was brought up to work on the farm and 
 had but little opportunity to go to school. The whole of his 
 scholastic opportunity afforded him a chance to spell and read a 
 little with a sort of begining in aritmetic. 
 
 After arriving at manhood he became an overseer on other 
 men's farms and in this way accumulated some property by econ- 
 omy and frugality. His father died in 1832 and left him some 
 property, perhaps a negro boy and negro girl. He was careful 
 with whatever he bought or owned. 
 
 The Civil War found him with a very large family of sons and 
 daughters, on most of whom he had bestowed much in the way 
 of education, and he was still worth about $25,000. 
 
 He was a strong advocate of education, a great admirer of com- 
 mon sense, of which he had more than falls to the lot of men 
 generally. 
 
 At or about the age of 27 he married Temperance Daniel, said 
 to have been a charmingly beautiful young woman. 
 
 Mr. Davis when a young man was very much inclined to infi- 
 delity, although his father was a Baptist minister, and two of his 
 2

 brothers had become Baptist ministers, he rather cultivated his 
 infidel thoughts until he was more than well grown, but grad- 
 ually the truth dawned upon him that he was a sinner and about 
 that time he had a dream which greatly impressed him. He 
 sought God in prayer and sought the prayers of Christians and 
 finally had very strong manifestation of the love of Jesus, joined 
 the Baptist Church in Wilkes Co., and was baptized by his 
 brother, Rev. James Davis. 
 
 He was exceptionally a devout Christian. He moved to Heard 
 Co. in the latter part of 1836. He and his wife placed their mem- 
 bership in Bethel Church in said county. He was elected a dea- 
 con of the same a few years after, became a most zealous member, 
 leading many times in prayer meeting and became famous in the 
 churches for many miles around in Heard and other counties as 
 an exhorter. Many souls were led by him to Christ. 
 
 As a citizen he stood high, serving his county as a grand juror 
 and otherwise. In politics he was a Whig, but would not con- 
 sent, though urged to do so, to seek or have any office or be sent to 
 the Legislature. 
 
 The first of Jan. 1847 he moved to Coweta Co., and settled near 
 the town of Newnan, where he continued his same methods of 
 life and spent much of his time during the summer months with 
 the churches, and was greatly successful in his efforts in his 
 church and Christian work. A great many young people were 
 brought to Christ through his influence and many a preacher 
 was assisted by him in protracted meetings, and many times he 
 was sent for and asked to "come and help us." For all this work, 
 which continued up to the end of the war, he would not accept 
 any financial remuneration. 
 
 He was made treasurer of the Western Association of Ga. in 
 1846 against his wishes and held the place for several years be- 
 cause, his brethren so requested. 
 
 He was very fond of his children and took great delight in the 
 companionship of his wife and children. Never husband loved 
 or honored wife more than he. His wife died on July 3, 1853, 
 leaving 14 children, the youngest about one year old. It was a 
 crushing blow and for a time he often wept and lamented her

 departure. But he was never heard in this severe or any other 
 affliction to utter a murmuring word at the providence of God. 
 He was a man of the strongest faith and never once seemed to 
 doubt that God was good and did all things well with him. God 
 was ruler and he bowed in submission to His will. This sad event 
 but increased his religious zeal and love for Christ and immortal 
 souls. His home was ever a home for preachers, and many of 
 them knew it — the door was open to them and they came just 
 when it suited them. 
 
 Hon. A. H. Stephens was his life long personal friend, and 
 like Mr. Stephens, he thought the separate secession of the States 
 not a wise policy, but preferred that all the Southern States should 
 act in concert if they seceded. But the State of Georgia having 
 once seceded he accepted the situation and six of his sons made 
 true and brave soldiers in the Confederate army and fought in 
 many a battle. He prayed that God would spare them — four of 
 them were wounded but only one was killed, his oldest. 
 
 When hospitals were established at Newnan he gave the 
 wounded and sick soldiers almost his entire time, saying words 
 of encouragement, administering to their wants and persuading 
 them to have Jesus as their friend and Saviour. He accepted the 
 results of the Civil War without a murmur, although the larger 
 part of the property for which he had labored was swept away 
 and that his first born son had fallen in battle, it was a maxim of 
 his life : "Thy will be done on earth as in Heaven. " Some time 
 after the death of his first wife he married a second wife, who 
 was Sarah A. Daniel, a maiden niece of his first wife, and by 
 this union was born to them five children. Thus it was by the 
 two wives he became the father of (19) nineteen children, every 
 one of whom loved and honored him in the superlative degree, 
 and every one of whom he saw baptized and received into the 
 Baptist Church on a full profession of faith in Christ 
 except two, one of them died when about twelve years 
 old, the other, the youngest by his second wife was 
 only ten or eleven years old when the father died. Mr. 
 Davis died on Sept. 19, 1883, lacking less than three months of 
 being 82 years old. He died as he had lived, with an unyielding

 faith in the Saviour to whom he had committed his all, and is 
 quoted as having said a few days before his death: "O death 
 where is thy sting; O grave where is thy victory?" and uttered 
 among his very last intelligent expressions : "I am not afraid to 
 die." He is buried in the family burying ground, one and one- 
 half miles east of Newnan. A volume could be written of this 
 good man, his life was pure — he loved truth for truth's sake and 
 no influence of wealth, position or power could change or abate 
 his devotion for truth or principle — he was of iron nerve when 
 defending the right. 
 
 Mrs. Temperance (Daniel) Davis, the first wife of Jeptha V. 
 Davis, was born in Green Co., Ga., on December 4, 1808. She 
 united with the Baptist Church at old Bethesda in said county 
 when about 18 or 19 years of age, and was baptized by Rev. 
 Jonathan Davis, who after her marriage became her brother-in- 
 law. 
 
 She was heard to speak often of the great anguish of soul she 
 felt while under conviction for sin — at times almost despaired of 
 ever finding relief. It was while a blind preacher, whose name 
 is now unknown, was delivering a sermon somewhere in the 
 neighborhood of where her mother (a widow) lived when she 
 believed and trusted in Jesus as her Saviour. She expressed 
 much happiness over this result. 
 
 It was a favorite song with her during all her life which begins 
 thus : 
 
 "What wondrous love is this? 
 O my soul ! O my soul ! _ 
 What wondrous love is this? 
 That caused the Lord of Bliss 
 To bear the dreadful curse 
 For my soul, for my soul." 
 
 She was married to Jeptha V. Davis in 1828 or 9 and after- 
 wards moved with her husband to Crawfordville, Taliaferro 
 Co., and thence to Heard Co., 1836, and thence to Corveta, 1846, 
 where she died with a congestive chill on July 3, 1853. She was 
 blessed with 14 children, 11 boys and 3 girls, all of whom sur- 
 vived her, the youngest being about one year old when the mother 
 died. 
 
 She loved her church ; she loved her home ; she loved her 
 husband; she loved her children; she loved her neighbors; she

 loved her servants. The large family demanded her presence 
 at home and she verily believed her duty was to make the home 
 happy, and often said her mission in life was to take care of 
 her children and the household. She was especially watch- 
 ful over the moral and religious training of her children. Ten- 
 derly and lovingly did she minister to their wants, but as all 
 mothers ought to do, she demanded their obedience. She 
 seemed at all times influenced by a sense of love, duty and 
 fidelity. She was a woman of much prayer and delighted 
 in reading the New Testament. It was largely through her 
 influence that her husband was first brought forward as a 
 public exhorter, and she manifested a special anxiety that he 
 should first take up and then regularly keep up family prayer. 
 She greatly enjoyed the visits of friends to her home and always 
 made them happy with table comforts and pleasant rooms. The 
 preachers understood there was a ''preacher's room" for them 
 and many, aye very many of them availed themselves of her 
 bountiful supplies in their behalf. 
 
 "Aunt Tempy," as she was called, was often quoted as an ex- 
 ample for other mothers and wives. At her funeral, which oc- 
 curred at the family grave, she being the first buried there, one 
 mile and a half east of Newnan, hundreds of friends and relatives 
 attested their love and devotion by their attendance ; and per- 
 haps a hundred voices sang before the final close of the grave : 
 
 "Sister, thou was mild and lovely, 
 Gentle as the summer breeze, 
 Pleasant as the air of evening 
 When it floats among the trees. 
 
 "Dearest sister, thou hast left us ; 
 Here thy loss we deeply feel; 
 But 'tis God who hath bereft us; 
 He can all our sorrows heal. 
 
 "Yet again we hope to meet thee ; 
 When the day of life is fled, 
 Then in heaven with joy to greet thee. 
 Where no farewell tear is shed." 
 
 Sarah A. Daniel, the second wife of Jeptha V. Davis, was 
 born in Green Co., Ga., in 1825 or 1826. She was the daughter 
 of pious parents and united with the church at Bethesda when 
 about eighteen or twenty years of age ; was baptized as is now 
 believed by Rev. S. G. Hillyer, D. D.

 She was a good woman, pious and prayerful. Her husband, 
 her senior in years, was greatly honored and loved by her; she 
 manifested towards him in the nearly thirty years of their mar- 
 ried life the tenderest devotion and nursed him in his last years 
 of life with a fondness which was indeed, it seems, tireless. Her 
 own health for eight or ten years previous to his death was poor, 
 but she appeared to forget herself and count her own affliction 
 but small when she could administer to wants of husband and 
 children. She was greatly loved by husband and children in 
 return. Her step-children, especially the large number of them 
 who came under her motherly care, honored her and enjoyed her 
 presence and company. She was remarkably kind and tender 
 towards them. She had a heavy task in life but she performed 
 it in a God-given spirit. 
 
 After the death of her husband her affliction increased and 
 the struggle in life grew harder, but all this she bore with heroic 
 courage. 
 
 One of her daughters died just as she arrived at womanhood 
 but the mother murmured not and complained not at God's deal- 
 ing with her. 
 
 During her last years she was a great sufferer, but exhibited a 
 truly resigned and Christian spirit in it all. 
 
 This good woman died at the home of her eldest daughter in 
 the city of Atlanta in June, 1896, and was buried in the family 
 graveyard by the side of her husband, one and a half miles east 
 of Newnan. Children:

 REV. JAMES 3 DAVIS (5) was born Jan. 22. 1805. in Elbert

 Miss Hudson was born Tan. 17. 1803. in Elbert Co.. Ga. Mr. 
 and Airs. Davis were members of the Baptist Church and he was 
 a minister of that denomination. We find the following sketch 
 of Rev. Tames Davis in Cathart"s Baptist Encyclopaedia: 
 
 "Rev. James Davis, one of the most useful ministers that ever lived in 
 the western part of Georgia, including Coweta. Troup, Heard. Meriwether, 
 and the adjoining counties, was born in Wilkes Co., Jan. 22, 1805. He 
 married and joined the church when quite a young man, and never after- 
 wards could relate his Christian experience without manifesting deep 
 emotion. He moved from Elbert to Jasper Co. in 1826. where he was 
 both licensed and ordaine'd. Returning to Elbert Co. in 1828 he preached 
 there for several years with increasing power and success. About 1830 
 he moved to the western part of the state where he spent the remaining 
 portion of his life, acting as a pioneer Baptist and preaching those Baptist 
 principles which to-day flourish so extensively in that section. Strong in 
 native intellect, robust in constitution, untiring in energy, and inspired by 
 the sole desire to 'preach Christ crucified.' Air. Davis left his impression 
 on the entire section of country in which he lived. He assisted in the 
 constitution of the Baptist Church at Lagrange and indeed most of the 
 Baptist Churches in the counties where he labored. A friend of education, 
 strongly missionary in spirit, earnest, devout, gifted^ and eloquent preacher, 
 struggled nobly to disseminate the great truths of Christianity as main- 
 tained by his denomination ; and he did much to give moral tone to the 
 community- in which he lived as any man. Good and useful here he died 
 as he lived in the faith of Jesus. He passed away in Sept., 1859, at his

 home in Heard Co. To his only absent son, Rev. Willliam H. Davis, then 
 residing at Hepzibah, Ga., he sent this simple message: 'Strive, my son, 
 to be a good minister of the gospel and meet me in glory.' We know that 
 one injunction has been fulfilled and we have every reason to believe both 
 have been."

 REV. JESSE MERCER 3 DAVIS (5) was born in Wilkes Co., 
 Ga., Jan. 25, 1807. He moved to Southwest, Ga., with his brother 
 Jonathan about 1836. He was thrice married. His first wife 
 was Sophia Burton. His second was a widow, Mrs. Gilbert, and 
 his third also a widow, was Mrs. McGoldrick. 
 
 We find in History of the Baptist Denomination of Georgia 
 — (Index Co.) the following sketch: 
 
 "*.*.* Rev. Jesse M. Davis was born in Wilkes Co., Ga., Jan. 25, 
 1807, and during boyhood labored with his brothers on his father's farm. 
 He possessed a very superior mind ; was ambitious and studious, and so 
 availed himself of eighteen months' only of schooling that he laid the 
 solid foundation of an education that was very respectable, and which, by 
 application, continued to improve throughout his life. He was an earnest 
 and beautiful speaker with a mind both logical and philosophical, and in 
 conversation was brilliant and interesting. His voice was musical and fas- 
 cinating, his manners were genial and captivating, while his personal ap- 
 pearance was handsome and imposing. He commenced the practice of 
 law at Ellerton, Ga., in his eighteenth year, but in his twenty-first year 
 he was converted and baptized, and soon after abandoned his profession 
 to preach the Gospel, for like Paul he felt 'Woe is me if I preach not 
 the Gospel.' The same year in which he joined the church he married 
 Miss Sophia Burton, a lady of rare attainments, whose Christian virtues 
 and brilliant mind added much to her husband's advancement. He was 
 ordained about 1830, and in 1835 moved from Elbert to Lee county, then 
 a frontier of the State, and infested by Indians. At one time he was 
 compelled to abandon his home and send his family to Twiggs County for 
 safety, but he himself remained and joined the company organized to 
 pursue and combat the Indians. As soon as peace and quiet were restored 
 his family returned and he then built, upon his own land and at his own 
 expense, a Baptist house of worship, which he named Hebron. He then

 built up a church for which he preached twenty-three years without re- 
 muneration. For the same number of years he dwelt in Lee County, and 
 by planting accumulated a large property. The doors of his home, known 
 as 'Pleasant Level," being ever thrown open for rich and poor alike, and 
 its numerous visitors cordially welcomed with a true Christian hospitality. 
 
 "He always had the care of three or four different churches, but never, 
 until the war. in its results swept away his ample fortune, did he accept 
 any compensation for his pastoral labor. In 1858 he removed to Decatur 
 Co. where he resided during the war. Although opposed to secession 
 he quietly acquiesced in the action of his State and at his own expense 
 armed and equipped a comoany for military sen-ice. While the war 
 lasted he was a true friend of the families of our soldiers who were in the 
 service, sparing neither time nor money to supply their necessities ; and 
 yet so unostentatious was his generosity that none outside of his own 
 family were aware of its extent. 
 
 "After the close of the war he was called to the care of the church 
 in Blakely, Ga.. where, after four months of grievous suffering in the bed 
 of languishing, which he bore with the utmost Christian fortitude, he died 
 on August 14, 1868. His remains lie buried in Blakely. During all the 
 weary months of confinement he was never known by word or act to mani- 
 fest the least impatience or want of submission. His death bed witnessed 
 scenes of exalted Christian resignation and triumph which proved the 
 reality of his religion. "I would not change the peace of mind which I 
 now have to be at ease and dwell in all the splendors of earth' was his 
 pious exclamation after obtaining relief from one of his fearful paroxysms 
 of suffering. The day preceding his death, he repeated over and over 
 again these lines : 
 
 'Farewell vain world, I'm going home. 
 My Saviour calls and bids me come.' 
 
 "The following day death fell on him suddenly and he passed away 
 almost instantly without a spasm or contortion according to his own 
 frequent prayer to which God thus graciously answered. 
 
 "In character Mr. Davis was one of the most amiable and benevolent 
 of men, delighting in doing good and making others happy, and stinting 
 neither time, money nor measures to accomplish his object. Large-souled 
 as well as large bodied, he was above everything that approached to little- 
 ness or meanness, and for scores of years preached with that fascinating 
 persuasiveness that attracted so many to the fount of everlasting life. 
 His oratory was in the highest sense winning, and his delivery was most 
 varied, pleasing and fascinating. While he denounced sin he loved the 
 sinner, and drew him with melting tenderness to embrace the terms of the 
 Gospel. A beautiful speaker, with a well trained mind and fine imaginative 
 powers, he was, withal, imbued with an impressive earnestness which gave 
 solemnity and power to his preachine. Xo disturbance in church or out 
 of it ever marred the even tenor of charitable Christian life, for he invar- 
 iably retained the goodwill and friendly regard of all, so guiding his life 
 as to avoid all personal as well as sectarian controversies. While a strong 
 Baptist and sound in the faith he was beloved by Christians of even name 
 and highly respected by all classes of the community."

 ANDREW JACKSON 3 HITCHCOCK (9) was born Feb. 
 21, 1813, near Columbus, Ga. He was twice married and was 
 the father of eight children, all of whom died in infancy. He 
 lost his life in a fire, burning of the James House in Denton, 
 Tex., Aug. 25, 1887. 
 
 Andrew Jackson Hitchcock had a most eventful life and 
 checkered career. He went to Tex. in 1835 ^ n Captain Jack 
 Shackelford's Company, Georgia Battalion of Fannin's Command. 
 He was with Fannin and surrendered with him after the battle 
 of Colita on Mar. 17, 1836. He was taken to Goliad and con- 
 fined in the Old Mission with the rest of the prisoners. On the 
 morning of Mar. 27, Sunday, he and the rest of the privates, 
 about 319, were marched out upon the pretence of being ex- 
 changed. About one half mile from the fort near a brush cattle 
 pen they were halted and fired upon by the Mexican Army. 
 Finding himself not wounded, hatless and shoeless he scaled the 
 brush fence with four or five others, swam the river and made 
 his escape. After they had wandered about the country a few 
 days they were recaptured, but Hitchcock and one other finally 
 made their escape and reached Galveston to learn the war was 
 over. Hitchcock returned to Ga., but soon went back to Tex., 
 and saw much service in the conflicts with the Indians. In 1839 
 he went to Shreveport, La., and accumulated some property 
 which he invested in negroes and began farming on Red River.

 In 1849 he engaged in a merchandise venture which was of short 
 duration, but closed out with some profit. He then bought a 
 livery stable in Shreveport, which he ran for several years, buy- 
 ing and selling horses and trading generally. In the yellow 
 fever scourge of 1853 he remained in Shreveport, waited upon 
 the stricken, was liberal with his money and prodigal with him- 
 self. When the Civil War broke out he owned a plantation of 
 about twenty-five hundred acres of rich land, well stocked with 
 horses, mules, cattle, hogs and sheep and about sixty slaves. His 
 horses and mules were pressed into service. He sold his land 
 for Confederate money and took his negroes and his family to 
 San Antonio. The negroes were freed by the war and he took 
 them back to Louisiana where they were raised and turned them 
 loose. 
 
 In 1866 he went to Brazil with a view of colonizing there, but 
 was not successful in this venture. He went to Brazil a second 
 time, but finally concluded the United States was the best place 
 for American citizens. He spent his last years in Denton, Tex., 
 where he met his tragic death.

 great energy, coupled with fine judgment. He was a native of

 native state in 1828 and started west for the purpose of making 
 his own way in the world. He stopped in Tenn. about a year 
 after which he went to Tex. He found irregular employment 
 with various surveying parties and in this way helped at differ- 
 ent times to locate a large number of claims for settlers. 
 
 He served as a "Minute Man" as often as his presence was 
 needed to assist in keeping off the hostile Indians; and finally 
 when the climax of trouble with Mexico was reached, moved by 
 patriotic ardor and zeal for the cause of liberty, he shouldered

 valor. Mr. Chiles led an active life, especially in his earlier 
 years. In 1856 he was converted and united with the Baptist 
 Church at Caldwell, Tex., of which he was soon elected deacon,

 MARTHA 4 DAVIS (22) was born Dec. 1, 1818, and married 
 Dr. John C. Gilbert Apr. 7, 1835. 
 
 Dr. Gilbert was born Jan. 26, 1814, and died Jan. 29, 1864. 
 We find in the Albany Herald the following tribute to the memory 
 of Mrs. Gilbert : 
 
 "Mrs. Martha D. Gilbert died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. J. 
 M. Tift, of Albany, Ga. ; where she had lived for many years, Jan. 29, 1903. 
 Death was due to a general breaking down from the infirmities of age. 
 Mrs. Gilbert was in her 85th year, having turned the 84th milestone of 
 life's journey only a few weeks ago. Up to a comparatively recent period 
 she continued to enjoy much of the vigor which had characterized her 
 whole life, and though long past the allotted threescore years and ten, she 
 retained her mental faculties unimpaired, and was not confined to her room 
 or even the house. When the final decline set in, however, Mrs. Gilbert 
 was forced to take her bed, and through the weary weeks which followed 
 she grew gradually but steadily weaker. Fully realizing her condition and 
 knowing that for her the journey of life was nearing the end, she turned 
 a smiling face to the world, and looked through the eyes of a perfect faith 
 into the future. Death had no terrors for her. In life she had walked 
 with God; and no woman ever gave those about her a more beautiful ex- 
 ample of the perfect Christian. She had seen what would seem to be more 
 than a generous share of sorrow during the years she lived. Loved ones 
 were taken from her, and other afflictions came, but above it all she rose 
 triumphant with a supreme faith in the Master's wisdom and perfect plan. 
 The motto of her life might have been : 'Thy will, not mine, oh, Lord, be 
 done.' 'Twas so she lived. 
 
 She passed away as one falling asleep and was conscious to the last, 
 recognizing those about her. The group around the deathbed included all 
 her surviving children and a number of other relatives. The funeral ser- 
 vices were conducted by the Rev. William L. Richards, of the Baptist 
 Church of which she had been a consistent and devoted member for many 
 years. The remains were deposited in their last resting place in Oakview 
 cemetery, Albany, Ga.

 MARY MORTON 4 DAVIS (22) was born Jan. 22, 1845, near 
 Indian Springs, Butts Co., Ga. 
 
 (The following sketch of the life and character of Mary M. Davis is the 
 merited tribute of a friend, Rev. A. F. Dix.) 
 
 *" Much has been lost that might have proved a great incentive to noble 
 deeds, had records been made of the earnest endeavor and faithful service 
 of those who had no disposition or were too modest to make such record 
 for themselves. This consideration has induced the present writer to give 
 permanent form to certain deeds and characteristics of the subject of this 
 sketch. 
 
 "First of all we must go back of character and deeds to that twofold na- 
 ture in which her character is stamped, and from which her deeds have 
 sprung, for if she had not been twice born, she had not been a Christian, 
 and for one who knew her to think of Mary Davis apart from her Chris- 
 tian life were impossiblle. Her first birth was of Christian parents, her 
 father a devoted, energetic Baptist minister, and her mother a patient, lov- 
 ing, helpful wife and devoted servant of family and church. The natural 
 life of the daughter received thus an altruistic current which needed only 
 the imparting of the divine nature, to cause a perpetual flow of Christian 
 activity, a 'springing up into everlasting life.' Her second birth, therefore. 
 
The Davis Family.

 as child of the Spirit, from such humanity, came like the words of the Sa- 
 vior to the shroud-bound Lazarus : 'Loose him and let him go.' She was 
 loosed and let go for a life of imitation of the Master, 'going about doing 
 good/ Her education, acquired at Albany, Ga., was such as enabled her to 
 help others in overcoming ignorance, and laying in intellectual capital for 
 usefulness and enjoyment, as well as to fit her own mind for the discern- 
 ment, appreciation and dispensing of truth. 
 
 "Sweetly declining repeated offers of marriage, from men who have 
 proven their worth by their success in life, she has chosen, not the life of a 
 recluse, but rather that freedom for personal obligation to a single home 
 of her own, which permitted her to enter many homes of kindred and 
 friends, where her helpfulness forbade the thought of dependence, and en- 
 titled her to apply the words of the Master, 'I am among you as he that 
 serveth." While serving as teacher in a more public way, she has received 
 salary that she might both be independent, and more helpful where kind 
 words and watching and sympathy needed to be supplemented by that 
 which was purchasable. Many an educational wall of solidity and fair pro- 
 portions, has had her bricks in its foundation, and now after forty-two 
 years of alternate teaching and resting, nursing and comforting, she is 
 handling a school of forty pupils. 
 
 "A monument not to her exclusively, and yet of her, exists in The Wo- 
 man's Home, of Montgomery, Ala, an institution benevolent in purpose 
 and beneficent in operation, of which she was a charter member, and in the 
 founding and success of which she took an active part. Perhaps no single 
 sen-ice will be remembered more approvingly by the Master, or more 
 admiringly by the people of Albany than the vindication of the doctrine of 
 the resurrection, from the aspersions of a lecturer in a public assembly. 
 The incident is historical."

 REV. JONATHAN BILLINGTON SANDERS 4 DAVIS 
 (23) was born Jan. 25, 1833, was graduated at the State Univer- 
 sity of Ga., Athens, Ga., class of 1856. He married Sallie Burns 
 Nov. 11, 1856 ; served one year as Prof Belles-Lettres in Male 
 College ; taught in several high schools and was offered profes- 
 sorship in several colleges. He was admitted to the bar of Ga. 
 Mar., 1858; and served as a member of the Constitutional Con- 
 vention of Ga., in 1865. He was ordained to the Gospel ministry 
 in 1863 an d has been dubbed "Newnan's Lawyer Preacher." His 
 wife is still living (1902), an example of love, purity and fidelity. 
 
 We find in the History of The Baptist Denomination in Georgia 
 (Index Company), the following: 
 
 "J- B. S. Davis. — The name of Davis stands very prominently on theljst 
 of Baptist ministers in Georgia. . It has been borne by men of good ability 
 and much zeal, who have all gone to their reward, leaving J. B. S. Davis 
 their sole representative in the sacred office, though there are many worthy 
 gifted men of the name in other professions. * * * The influences of 
 religion were around him from his cradle, and seem to have had their 
 wanted power, since we find that in 1845, at the early age of twelve years, 
 professing conversion, he was baptized into Bethel Church, Heard Co., 
 by Rev. Robert Fleming. In Sept., 1852, he entered Mercer University and 
 remained there two years, when he repaired to the State University, 
 Athens, Ga., and graduating from that institution in 1856. In November 
 of that year he married the youngest daughter of Gen. D. M. Burns, of 
 Jackson Co. He appears up to this time and perhaps after, to have had no 
 inclination to preach, but was engaged in literary pursuits together with the 
 study of law. In 1857 we find him occupying the chair of Belles-Letters in 
 Cherokee Baptist College, at Cassville, Ga. In 1858, he studied law with 
 Hon. Hugh Buchanan, of Newnan, Ga., and was admitted to the bar the 
 same year. He seems, however, at that period, to _ have ^continued the 
 practice of law for but two years, as he became principal of Martin Insti- 
 
48 Genealogy of 
 
 tute, Jackson Co., in 1860-61, and was elected principal of the Newnan Male 
 beminary, 1862-63. Teaching was his favorite work and was renounced 
 only on account of failing health. He has been practicing law for a num- 
 ber of years with great success, and has been employed in some important 
 criminal cases, winning causes not a few. His success as a teacher made 
 it very difficult for him to leave the profession, and he had flattering pro- 
 posals from many colleges and high schools in his own and other Southern 
 States. But the Spirit of God was at work in his heart, and his ears were 
 open unto Macedonian cry, 'Come over and help us.' In Sept 1863 he 
 was ordained by the Baptist Church at Newnan, to the full work of' the 
 ministry ,Dr Jesse M. Wood, pastor. The ordination sermon was preached 
 by Rev. E. B. Teague, and was filled with good advice. One special warn- 
 ing was keep out of debt.' As a minister, he is very popular, drawing full

 mond Co., Ga. Mrs. Davis died in Washington City, D. C, Nov. 
 2 5> I ^95. Rev. W. H. Davis died at his residence, Hephzibah, 
 Ga., Sept. 18, 1879, and the next day the following notice of his 
 death appeared in a local paper : 
 
 DEATH OF REV. W. H. DAVIS. 
 
 A Good Man and Prominent Minister Suddenly Dies Last Night With 
 
 Apoplexy. 
 
 The sad intelligence of the death of the Rev. William H. Davis, of 
 Hephzibah, reached the city this morning. He died very suddenly at his 
 home, about 11 o'clock last night, of apoplexy. This very sad occurrence 
 casts a gloom over a happy household and quiet community, and calls 
 for the fullest sympathy of a hosts of friends throughout the surrounding 
 country. 
 
 Mr. Davis was one of the best known and respected citizens of Richmond 
 county, and as an honored and prominent minister of the Baptist church 
 his influence and popularity were not restricted to the boundary lines of 
 any one section of the State or class of people. He concluded a series of 
 
The Davis Familv. 
 
 53 
 
 meetings at the Baptist church in Hephzibah last week, with the baptism 
 of four persons He also conducted services last Saturday and Sunday at 
 Reed's Creek, about twenty miles below, in Burke county, with the addition 
 of many more converts to the church, and preached Tuesday and Wednes- 
 day at Bushy Creek church, in this county, when he returned home yester- 
 day morning. Retiring last night about 9 o'clock, he waked up later and 
 complained of a pain in his head. His good wife then made a light, when 
 he remarked that he could not see well, and died shortly after. Thus it 
 will be seen that after laboring zealously all his life in the Master's vine- 
 yard, proving his acceptability to his God and people, and fresh from the 
 work of saving souls, he passed peacefully into the heavenly rest. 
 
 Mr. Davis was fifty-three years old at the time of his death, and leaves a 
 wife, three daughters and a son. He was dearly loved by his church and 
 the people generally, and his place will indeed be difficult to fill. He was 
 regarded as one of the most prominent divines of his denomination in the 
 State, and was for a number of years one of the principals of the Hephzi- 
 bah high school, with the Rev. W. L. Kilpatrick. His funeral will take 
 place to-morrow morning at nine o'clock, at the Hephzibah cemetery. 
 
 With the sermons and prayers of the day still warm in his heart and on 
 his lips, this minister of God died. Friends had often urged him not to 
 undertake so much, but it was his wish to "die in the harness," and it was 
 not denied him. 
 
 Mr. Davis was a graduate of Mercer University, and for many years he 
 has been an honored and most useful member of the Board of Trustees. 
 He had spent a large portion of his life in teaching, and was instrumental 
 in building up the Hephzibah high school to a standard not excelled by 
 any in the State. 
 
 But it was in his ministerial life that Mr. Davis shone most brightly, and 
 many of the counties southwest of our city look upon him as their Baptist 
 bishop. 
 
 As pastor, friend, executor and counsellor he will be sadly missed, and 
 his place can scarcely be filled. Into that darkened home which his pres- 
 ence had always filled with gladness and joy, we pray God to send the 
 Comforter, and that He will be a husband and father to the widow and 
 orphans. 
 
 Mr. Davis, in business, was always a prudent man. and it is some con- 
 solation to know that he has left his family a sufficient competence. 
 
 Of the life and character of Mr. Davis we have the following 
 from Cathcart's Baptist Encyclopedia: 
 
 "Rev. William H. Davis was born in Jasper Co., Ga., Aug. iS, 1S26, and 
 died Sept. 18, 1879, at his residence in Hephzibah. A graduate of Mercer 
 University in 1853, he settled in Burke county in 1858, and in course of time 
 became one of the most prominent and useful ministers^ of the Rehobath 
 Association. He was often its moderator, and pastor of a number of its 
 churches, including Bark Creek, Hopewell. Bottsford and Rocky Creek. 
 He was a trustee of Hephzibah high school from its commencement, except 
 when a teacher and co-principal of it from 1868 to 1875 inclusive. From 
 1878 until his death he was a trustee of Mercer University. He was 
 licensed in 1847, and ordained in 1853. Wm. H. Davis was a man of 
 classical education, a citizen of untarnished reputation, a teacher of rare 
 ability, a Christian of most exemplary deportment, a pastor faithful to his 
 obligations, a minister of the gospel surpassed in pulpit power by few, if 
 any, in the State. He was clear in the presentation of Scriptural truth, 
 logical in his reasoning, and pathetic in his appeal. 
 
 "Mr. Davis was of a commanding appearance, about medium height, 
 weighing over two hundred pounds. Of dark complexion, pleasant expres- 
 sion of countenance, kind and genial in spirit, and of polished manners."

 had applied the torch." * * * * "Neither of my sons have ever 
 been arrested nor connected with in any way the marauding element of the 
 county, nor was ever sued on a debt which they have contracted. * * * 
 My children all own their own homes, worked for them themselves. My 
 daughters all own organs, know how to make wax, paper, zephyr and 
 feather flowers, painting and drawing, also enlarging pictures ; take their 
 charts, cut and make any garment that man, woman or child wears, and if 
 you don't believe that they can laundry their table linen and prepare a nice 
 meal, well just come to see us. I don't see how I could have raised my 
 young children without the help of my daughters, Ida and Annie. They 
 have nursed more sick folks, helped to raise more babies, made more baby 
 clothes, as well as other garments, than any other two women I ever knew. 
 I have four daughters and six sons living; four daughters and two sons 
 dead; forty grandchildren living, twelve dead, eleven great-grandchildren 
 living and one dead. 
 
 "You can't imagine how proud I am of my children, have never had 
 cause to be otherwise, they have proved to be a blessing."

PART II 
 The Goss Family 
 
THE GOSS FAMILY. 
 
 FIRST GENERATION. 
 1. 
 
 We have two versions of the origin of the Goss family, or of the 
 founding of the family in this country — both traditional. Dr. 
 John D. Garrard, of Birmingham, Ala., now deceased, who was 
 a great grandson, of Benjamin Goss, Sr., and who for forty years 
 had been making genealogical research regarding his ancestors 
 and noting results, said : 
 
 "About 1760, Benjamin Goss, Sr., with two brothers came from Ger- 
 many to America. They lived on the Rhine river, near the line, at that 
 time, between Germany and France, line between Rhenish Bavaria and 
 Alsace. The descendants of one of these brothers are scattered all over 
 North Ga., White, Habersham, Cass and other counties. Some have emi- 
 grated to other states. The descendants of the other brother are scattered 
 pretty well all over the United States." 
 
 In support of this statement Dr. Garrard refers to the fact that 
 his mother, Martha B. (Goss) Garrard, a grand-daughter of 
 Benjamin Goss, Sr., lived contemporaneously with him in the 
 State of Ga., and was intimately associated with members of his 
 family, notably her father Benjamin Goss, Jr., third child of 
 Benjamin, Sr., who was intimately associated with his father the 
 elder Goss for many years and to the time of the latter's death, 
 and who doubtless had often heard him speak of his early history. 
 
 Mr. John Preston Goss, of Richmond, Va., who has made the 
 genealogy of the Goss family a study for some years, says : 
 
 "As far as I can ascertain the Goss family lived in Va., prior to 1661. 
 William Goss lived and died in (now) Kent Co., Va., prior to 1661, and 
 left a son named William. Charles and Eddie Goss lived in James City 
 Co., Va., in 1682. James Goss lived in Goochland Co., Va., in 1741, now 
 Buckingham Co. He is supposed to have been the father of Benjamin 
 Goss, who was born Oct. 3, 1742. * * * " 
 
 J. P. Goss continuing says : 
 
 (1)

 Genealogy of 
 
 "It is not unreasonable to suppose the first William Goss was the grand- 
 father of Charles and Eddie Goss, and that Charles or Eddie was the 
 father of James Goss, and James Goss the father of Benjamin, the father 
 of the Gosses of Ga., and the first Goss who settled in Ga., just prior to 
 1800 or soon thereafter." 
 
 Quoting what was said by different members of the Goss fam- 
 ily, John P. Goss, further says: 
 
 "I heard my father, John W. Goss, grandson of Benjamin, Sr., say that 
 Benjamin was a son by the second marriage of his father, and that he, 
 Benjamin, had two half-brothers older than himself that went to North 
 Carolina. I think this will account for the two brothers mentioned by Dr. 
 Garrard. I will mention that my father said his great grandfather, the 
 father of Benjamin, Sr., died in England, having gone there to attend to 
 some business, sickened and died there." 
 
 He further says: 
 
 "I have been informed by Mr. H. I. Gause, of Wilmington, Del., who 
 has made a very great effort to trace the origin of the family, that they were 
 from Germany, and were driven from that country during the persecution 
 of the Protestants, and went first to France, where they were known as 
 Gosse, and that those who went to England from France, dropped the e, 
 leaving the name as it is now found in this country, Goss." 
 
 So much for tradition ; all agree however that the Goss family 
 descends from German ancestry. It is a matter of regret that 
 we have no record evidence in support of either theory advanced, 
 and at this late day it is not probable that such evidence will be 
 discovered, many of the records in Va., having been destroyed. 
 We have therefore to deal with the situation as we find it. 
 
 It would be a pleasure to trace the ancestry of Benjamin Goss 
 as we are able to trace his descendants, but not being able to do 
 this we will proceed with the primary object of this undertaking, 
 the tracing of his descendants. In this we will use valuable in- 
 formation furnished by both Dr. Garrard and Mr. John P. Goss 
 and to both of whom we are indebted for their courteous and 
 generous efforts to aid us. 
 
 The earliest reliable information we have of Benjamin Goss is 
 found in some of the records of Va. He enlisted in Maj. An- 
 drew Lewis' Company when twenty years old, was a planter, 5 ft. 
 8^ in. high. (See 1st Vol. Va. Historical Papers, page 382, now 
 in the State Library, Richmond, Va.) He also received a land 
 grant for services in the Indian and French war, serving in Col. 
 Wm. Boyd's Regiment, 2d Va. (See Book of Grants Indian and 
 French war now in the land office in the Capitol of Va). 
 
The Goss Family.

 Benjamin Goss and Elizabeth Hamilton were united in mar- 
 riage April 14, 1764. Miss Hamilton was of Scotch descent and 
 was born May 12, 1743. She was a cousin of Alexander Hamil- 
 ton, who fought a duel with and was killed by Aaron Burr. 
 They resided in Buckingham Co., Va., until about 1803, when 
 they with most of their children moved to the State of Ga., and 
 settled in Elbert Co., where they spent the remainder of their 
 lives.

 The Old Dictionary. 
 
 There is a very old English dictionary in the possession of 
 Judge Horatio James Goss, of Hartwell, Ga., a great-grand-son 
 of Benjamin Goss, that was used for the purpose of keeping the 
 family record of the latter, the entries being made on the margin 
 of the leaves, with little reference to order, and are scattered all 
 along through the book. The old book is tattered and torn, the 
 front and back gone leaving no trace of date of publication. It 
 was published at a time when the letter s was formed as the 
 modern letter f. At some time it has been covered with a coarse 
 domestic plaid, supposed to have been spun and woven by hand 
 and from cotton picked from the seed by hand and before the days 
 of the Whitney or other cotton gin. The old cover is also 
 tattered and torn as evidenced by the accompanying illustration of 
 the old book, a print from an engraving procured by the writer

 REV. HORATIO JAMES 2 GOSS (1) was born in Ya., Fri- 
 day. Oct. 10, 1788. He was twice married. When quite young 
 he was in love with Ann Deadwyler, who was also too young to 
 marry ; and in consequence of their tender age the affair was 
 broken off, and he afterwards loved and married Elizabeth Roe- 
 buck. Miss Roebuck was born Sept. 17, 1788. They were mar- 
 ried Nov. 27, 1806.

 who was then the widow Bradley with two children. He moved 
 from Elburt Co.. Ga.. to Hart Co., and lived there until his death 
 and was buried in his garden beside his first wife. 
 
 In Campbell's Georgia Baptists we find the following sketch of 
 the life of Rev. Horatio James Goss : 
 
 "It is matter of deep regret that so little can be gathered of the life and 
 labors of the excellent man, whose name stands at the head of this brief 
 notice. 'What is life? It is even as a shadow that appeareth for a little 
 while and that vanishes away/' But his name ought to be preserved if for

 no other reason, because he was the father of four excellent and useful 
 ministers of the Gospel, viz: Benjamin, Isham H., William R. and 
 Horatio James, Jr. He was for years one of the most prominent citizens 
 of Elbert County, Georgia, and for twenty years was deacon and clerk of 
 Sardis Church. Late in life he was licensed to preach, and though not 
 fluent in speech, his great weight of character rendered impressive and 
 profitable whatever he said, for he always spoke according to the divine 
 oracles. He was remarkable for punctuality in all his religious and secular 
 engagements. He used the office of deacon well and was thoroughly 
 grounded and settled in the faith and practice inculcated in the New Testa- 
 ment. He believed in ministerial support, not as a charity, but as a duty, 
 and ever proved his faith by his works, in that he invariably paid his pastor 
 liberally and punctually, and prompted all around him to do the same. He 
 departed in peace in 1*851, and was supposed to be about sixty-five years 
 of age*. How greatly hath God honored him in having called four of his 
 sons to the highest sphere of usefulness assigned to mortals."

 MARTHA BOOKER 3 GOSS (4) was born Oct. 12, 1805, in 
 Wilkes Co., Ga., not many years after her parents had moved 
 from Va. She was about five years old when the family moved 
 to Newton Co., Ga. In Mar., 1824, she was baptized by Elder 
 Jonathan Nicholson and received into the Liberty Baptist Church, 
 near Newborn. In Nov. of the same year, she was married to 
 Hiram Garrard, of Putnam Co., Ga., and moved with him to 
 Newton Co. in Dec. 1826. Mr. Garrard with his family moved 
 to Montgomery Co., Ala., in Dec, 1852. Mrs. Garrard died 
 Apr. 30, 1880, aged 74 years, 6 months and eighteen days. One 
 of her last expressions was, "Glorious hope ! Eternal joy." Hiram 
 Garrard, her husband, descended from a long line of prominent 
 ancestry. Their son, Dr. John D. Garrard, furnished the follow- 
 ing account of the Garrard family. 
 
 "According to an old history of the Huguenots of France, the Garrard 
 family of France was founded by a direct descendant of Prince Eberhard 
 of Wertemburg, Germany, known as the "Good Prince" (or King). This

 prince lived over five hundred years ago — this 1901. The Garrards were 
 all Huguenots and so much opposed to the Catholic rule of the government 
 that they had, by persecution, to leave France. From time to time, they 
 went to different countries. Most of them to England. Peter Garrard, 
 with his family, was probably the last to leave France, as shown by the 
 records of history. He left France after the Revocation of the Edict of 
 Nantes, Oct., 1685. His naturalization as a British subject took place May 
 8, 1687, ' m the ninth year of the reign of William III. Says the historian. 
 'It is doubtless this branch which was transplanted in Va.' Peter Garrard 
 had two small sons with him when he emigrated to England. These sons 
 grew up and married in England, where they spent the remainder of their 
 lives." "Col. William Garrard, of Stafford Co., Va., and his brother J. 
 Garrard (who changed his name to Gerard) were sons of one of Peter 
 Garrard's sons, and Robert, John and Jacob Garrard, who settled in the 
 Carolinas and in Ga., were children of the other son of Peter Garrard." 
 
 "Col. William Garrard came to America about 1740 and prob- 
 ably his brother, J. Garrard, came at the same time. Col. Wil- 
 liam Garrard was the father of Gen. James Garrard, of Ky. 
 Robert, John and James Garrard, three brothers, came together 
 from England to Va., about 1750. They remained in Stafford 
 Co. a few years and then came on further south. Jacob settled 
 in North Carolina and Robert in South Carolina. John married 
 Mary Bolt, of South Carolina, and remained in that state some 
 years, when he came on to Ga., where he lived some years before 
 he bought land and finally settled in Wilkes County in 1773 or 
 about that date. He was born about 1725 and died in the Spring 
 of 1807. John Garrard's sons were Jacob and Robert, his daugh- 
 ters were Frances, who married a man named Ludlow, and 
 one. name not remembered. Jacob Garrard, son of John Gar- 
 rard, of Wilkes Co., Ga., was born in 1762. About 1780 he mar- 
 ried Elizabeth Barron, of Warren Co., Ga., a daughter of Capt. 
 William Barron, and Rudy Barron (Davis). She was born in 
 Waterford Co., Ireland, about 1766, and with her parents came to 
 America about Dec. 1766. 
 
 Jacob Garrard, son of John Garrard, as mentioned heretofore, 
 moved from Wilkes Co. to Putnam Co., Ga., it then being a 
 part of Baldwin Co., in Dec, 1805, when his son Hiram was not 
 quite six years old. Jacob died in 1823 and his widow in 1828. 
 Only three of their children left any heirs, viz. : William Garrard, 
 of Putnam Co., Ga., Zilla Garrard, who married the Rev. James 
 M. Rockmore, and Hiram Garrard who married Martha B. Goss. 
 Hiram Garrard was born Mar. 24, 1800, and died Nov. 7, 1871. 
 At about 17 years of age he was baptized by Rev. Richard Pace.

 ELDER BENAJAH 3 GOSS (4) was bora in Wilkes Co., Ga., 
 in 1809 and married Mariah Darnell, Elder William Lacy offi- 
 ciating. Miss Darnell was born June 16, 1813, and is still living 
 (Dec. 1903) and resides at Lineville, Ala., ninety years old and 
 in good health for a person of her age. We find in Bledsoe's his- 
 tory of the Liberty Baptist Association, the following sketch of 
 the life and character of Rev. Benajah Goss: 
 
 "Elder Benajah Goss, died at his residence at Union Springs, Ala., on the 
 5th day of January last (1866), in the fifty-seventh year of his age. He was 
 baptized into the fellowship of the Liberty Baptist Church in 1827, and was 
 married to Miss Mariah Darnell, of Morgan Co., Ga., in 1830, (Feb. 4). 
 He was licensed in 1836, ordained to the full ministry in Bethel Church, 
 Chambers Co., Ala., in 1841, by Elders Jesse Moon, John B. Humphries 
 and William Lacy. He was missionary of the Liberty Association and 
 traveled and preached for several years to the destitute, principally in 
 Randolph Co., Ala., where several churches were organized and built up 
 under his ministry. 
 
 "As a preacher, his discourses were characterized by sound doctrine and 
 much practical godliness, with great earnestness and anxiety for the salva- 
 tion of souls. Evidently much good was accomplished through his instru- 
 mentality, * * * *. He has gone to his reward, and while he rests from 
 his labors, his work will follow after him. He has left us the rich legacy 
 of Christian example, and testimony to the truth as it in Jesus. He has 
 shown us how to live and how to die. In his last hours of suffering he 
 spoke to his Christian wife of receiving blessings from the Lord — such 
 resignation and Christian fortitude are seldom witnessed as he evidenced to 
 the last. And his voice is stilled in death, his body relieved from suffering, 
 and his spirit is at rest with God. Wherefore, 
 
 "Resolved, That in the death of Elder Benajah Goss, we feel the cause 
 has lost a zealous defender and our church a devoted advocate, and the 
 community a model of Christian piety. 
 
 "Resolved, Whilest we mourn the loss of our brother, we humbly bow 
 to the will of God, who worketh all things together for good to them who 
 love the Lord. 
 
 "Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with his bereaved and afflicted 
 companion, and hereby extend to her our heartfelt condolence and sym- 
 pathy with the assurance that she will ever be remembered in our prayers 
 at the throne of grace." A. J. Slaughter, Ch. Clerk.

 Mrs. M. B. Goss is now a resident of Lineville, Ala. She is very old 
 and infirm being afflicted with blindness. 
 
 She has been living in this community for several years, and has by her 
 consecrated Christian life and good example, won many friends. Every- 
 one who knows Aunt Goss (as she is familiarly called) loves her. 
 
 She is a valiant soldier of the cross always ready to speak for her Lord 
 and Master. Although declining in health, her love for Christ and His 
 cause has not relaxed. 
 
 _ She is a member of the Ladies' Aid Society, and while she is providen- 
 tially hindered from meeting with us, we feel encouraged to know that we 
 have the prayers of this good Christian mother. 
 
 May the Lord bless, sustain and comfort this mother in Israel through 
 her declining years, is our prayer. Respectfully submitted, 
 
 The Ladies Aid Society. 
 
 Mrs. M. B. Goss, relict of Rev. Benajah Goss, is yet alive — and is living 
 at Lineville, Clay Co., Ala. 
 
 She was born June 16, 1813, became the wife of Rev. B. Goss in the 
 seventeenth year of her life, which happy union lasted until the time of 
 his death on Jan. 5, 1867. Husband and wife were devoted to each other. 
 It seemed a delight for him to have her accompany him on his mission 
 tours, and she rejoiced to be his companion in the Lord's service. No 
 children resulting from this union, the husband seemed prone to pet his 
 wife as his child, while trusting her as his companion. 
 
 During the recent years, since it has been my pleasure to be her pastor, 
 she seems to live largely in the past. Her husband, his ministry, his life, 
 his devotion, is the topic of her conversation. The good meetings of long 
 ago, the old time religion, the sweet experiences of the past, seem to 
 invigorate and prolong her life. 
 
 Her sight is growing very dim, and her strength is ebbing day by day; 
 very soon she will go to join the husband in glory, but while lingering 
 here her desire seems to be to make the world brighter with her living. 
 
 No doubt her companionship was a benediction to her husband's ministry 
 and life. The seeds of truth sown by him during his ministry have doubt- 
 less been watered with her prayers for these many years. 
 
 These are glimpses from her life and conversation. Written by her 
 pastor. J. R. Stodghiix,

 In Campbell's Georgia Baptists we find the following sketch of 
 the life of Rev. Benjamin Goss: 
 
The Goss Family. 
 
 19 
 
 "Rev. Benjamin Goss was reared to industrial habits, working on the 
 farm from his early boyhood; had scarcely any advantages of education, 
 was quite moral frugal and industrious. When quite young he was awak- 
 ened to the importance of religion, and in a still and quiet manner sought 
 the Lord and found Him, as he thought, a precious Saviour, and enjoyed 
 himself much in his private meditations upon God's goodness. He delighted 
 ill visiting the house of God, and in hearing the gospel preached, but his 
 timidity and backwardness prevented him from opening his mind to any 
 one. 
 
 "At length, after a lapse of several years, he was conversed with on the 
 subject of his Christian experience and was induced to relate it fully. This 
 inspired him with a little more confidence, and he ventured tremblingly to 
 apply to the church for baptism. About 1838 he was received into the 
 fellowship of Vans Creek Church, at Ruckersville, and was baptized by 
 Rev. Asa Chandler. Mr. Goss soon became a zealous and active member 
 of the church, would pray in public when called on, and in a few years 
 was chosen and ordained a deacon. He was ever active and zealous in his 
 religious duties, became a leader in prayer meetings, in which he would 
 sometimes lecture or exhort with great power. The conviction was soon 
 forced on the minds of his brethren that he was designed of God to labor 
 in a higher sphere, which corresponding with his own impressions, he was 
 called to the work of the ministry. He would become so excited and ani- 
 mated when speaking of God's goodness and love, that he seldom failed to 
 impress those who heard him. He was ordained about the year 1854, and 
 for ten successive years he labored in preaching Christ to the people with 
 great earnest zeal and simplicity. His discourses were uniformly short 
 and well-timed as to the surroundings, and were never known to worry his 
 audience, but generally left the impression with the most fastidious that, 
 though the speaker was not a great preacher, nor a learned man. yet he 
 was a good man and was doubtless in earnest in all his unaffected and 
 simple appeals to the heart and conscience of his hearers. He was pastor 
 of Rock Branch Church several years, and was greatly respected and 
 beloved by his flock and congregation. At the time of his death he was 
 also pastor of Bethel Church. He preached his last sermon on Sunday 
 (preceding his death on the following Friday) at a school house a few 
 miles from his residence, during the delivery of which he was observed to 
 be unusually solemn. His disease was brain fever, which produced delir- 
 ium, so that he was deprived of the privilege of leaving dying testimony 
 to the religion which he had illustrated so well in life. Eternity will 
 doubtless disclose that he. and such as he. accomplished more real good in 
 life and by example they left, than many brilliant men whose eloquence 
 has entranced thousands, but whose lives lacked the savor of real godli- 
 ness."

 schools, such as the country afforded at that time, and finished his 
 education at college in Knoxville, Tenn. He married Mary Eliz- 
 abeth Gordon, a sister of the second wife of his brother Benja- 
 min, Mar. 5, 1840, the Rev. Asa Chandler officiating. Miss Gor- 
 don was born Feb., 18 18, and was a member of the Presbyterian 
 Church, but joined the Baptist Church after her marriage. Rev. 
 Isham Hamilton Goss was ordained to the Baptist Ministry Apr. 
 15, 1842. 
 
 Mrs. Ella Craft, of Hartwell, Ga., a daughter of Rev. Isham H. 
 Goss, writes: 
 
 "My father grew up on the farm, attending such schools as the county 
 afforded. When he expressed a desire for higher education, his father 
 sent him to Knoxville, East Tennessee College, where he remained two 
 years. Soon after his return from college, he was married to Mary Eliza- 
 beth Gordon, of Hart Co., Ga. The Gordons were Associate Reformed 
 Presbyterians and had sent their daughters Mary and Flora to what is 
 now known as Duewest, S. C, Female College. Mary, my mother, joined 
 the Baptist Church after she had been married eight years, and after 
 bright conversion, having been convinced from reading the Bible its doc- 
 trines are according to the Scriptures. My father was most happily con- 
 verted before he was married; joined the church and felt called to 
 preach. He was ordained to preach after marriage at Russelville, Elbert 
 Co., Ga. He was a useful minister of the Baptist denomination for forty 
 years, never missed an appointment if it was possible for him to be there ; 
 always feeling 'woe is me if I preach not the Gospel.' 
 
 "My mother made a good preacher's wife in looking well to the house- 
 hold and carrying on things orderly when he was from home preaching, and 
 seeing that work on the farm went on (slavery times) as if he were 
 there. My father kept up family prayer of nights and mornings and my 
 mother made ready and order for that always. A good helpful wife 
 makes such not seem a burthen but a looked-for and pleasant part of life's 
 program." 
 
 We find the following sketch in the History of Georgia Bap- 
 tists: (Index Co.) 
 
 "Isham H. Goss during boyhood was solemn, moral and obedient to 
 his father, having lost his mother when quite small. He had, however, 
 the care of a kind step-mother, and his early training was thoroughly 
 religious. * * * In his twenty-nrst year, in 1837, he journeyed on 
 horseback to Knoxville, Tenn., and entered l^ast Tennessee College, where 
 he remained two years diligently pursuing the prescribed course of studies 
 and reading various works of an instructive character. In Mar., 1839, he 
 started home, traveling by public hack through S. C, that being ante- 
 cedent to the days of railroads, and intending to return to college and 
 study with a view to practicing law, but Providence ordered otherwise. 
 Attending a general meeting of interest turned his attention most seriously 
 to the subject of his soul's salvation and after several weeks of pungent 
 conviction God was pleased by regeneration to light up his soul with hope 
 of salvation on the 16th of April, 1839, m a manner gloriously overwhelm- 
 ing. Immediately he felt it his duty to tell others of the preciousness of 
 the Saviour he had found. With him old things did indeed pass away,

 and all things became new and it now grew to be his great desire to 
 announce to others the grace of God in Christ Jesus. * * * In July, 
 1839, he united with the Baptist Church at Sardis, being baptized in Cedar 
 Creek by Rev. Asa Chandler on the 6th day of July. He soon began to 
 take part in the public services of the church and even to preach when 
 opportunity offered, but was not licensed until 15th of August, 1840. 
 He was ordained on 15th of April, 1842. Asa Chandler, B. B. Butler, 
 Philip Mathews and Miles B. Jones acting as presbyters. * * * For 
 forty years Mr. Goss was actively engaged in the ministry, most of the 
 time as the regular pastor of churches, but part of the time as an evan- 
 gelist and missionary, for ten years serving Sarepta Association as such. 
 He baptized a great many persons and the savor of his good influence has 
 been felt wherever he has gone. In all these years God has sustained 
 him mentally, bodily and financially; has permitted him to see eight chil- 
 dren grow up and join the church and has given him the unbroken com- 
 panionship of the wife of his bosom. * * *"

 WILLIAM RABURN GOSS (12) was born in Elbert Co., Ga., 
 Apr. 21, 18 1 9. He united with the Baptist Church at Vans 
 Creek, Elbert Co., Ga., July, 1839, and in 1845, was ordained to 
 the ministry at the request of that church. He was faithful in the 
 discharge of his duties, punctual in attending his appointments 
 and was an earnest and faithful worker for the cause of his Mas- 
 ter. 
 
 We find the following sketch regarding him in Campbell's 
 Georgia Baptists: 
 
 "William Raburn Goss had three brothers, Benjamin, Isham H. and Ho- 
 ratio J. Goss, Jr., whose labors in the ministry were most signally ap- 
 proved of God. After penitent confession of his sins to God and faith in 
 Jesus as the Saviour of sinners, he united with the church at Vans Creek 
 and was baptized by Rev. Asa Chandler in July 1839. Very soon he began 
 to take a deep interest in the cause of Christ and a desire awoke in his 
 bosom to warn his fellow men to lay hold on eternal life. In 1840 he 
 was licensed by his church to preach and in 1845 was ordained at the 
 request of Vans Creek church to the full functions of the ministry. After 
 his ordination, though working on his farm and attending to it, he supplied 
 
22 
 
 Genealogy of 
 
 the churches as their pastor regularly each Sunday in the month within 
 the bounds of the Serepta Association. 
 
 "In 1848 he moved to Franklin Co., Ga., and remained there for ten 
 years. During this time his labors were blessed of the Lord, and accessions 
 were made to his churches each year. In 1859 he settled in Franklin 
 Co., Ala., but from strong convictions of duty and the desire of his 
 brethren, after four years, he returned to his former field of labor. In 
 1870, Grove Level, one of the churches which he then supplied, enjoyed a 
 most wonderful manifestation of the presence of the Holy Spirit. Rev. 
 I. H. Goss, his brother aided at that meeting and about one hundred were 
 added to the church before its close. One day during the meeting, a 
 beautiful day in August, fifty-three were baptized. 
 
 "Rev. W. R. Goss spent most of his ministerial life serving churches in 
 the counties of Elbert, Banks and Jackson. He was a man of medium 
 size, dark hair originally and blue eyes. As a preacher, though not elo- 
 quent, he was earnest and his congregations heard him with pleasure and 
 profit. In early life his educational advantages were limited but making 
 the Bible his text book by close and prayerful study of its pages he made 
 a most useful minister of the Gospel." 
 
 The Rev. William R. Goss, was thrice married. His first wife 
 was Priscilla Evenson, they were married Aug. 5, 1841, the mar- 
 riage ceremony being performed by his brother, Rev. Isham H. 
 Goss. Miss Evenson was born Apr. 25, 1825. Of this marriage 
 there were born four children.

 Co., Ga. They were married June 22, 1847. Miss Mitchell was 
 born Apr. 10, 182 1. She was a member of Crooked Creek Bap- 
 tist Church, Jackson Co., Ga. She lived to see her children 
 grown and all married but one. She died the death of a Christian 
 July 29, 1877 ; was a noble Christian woman, loved by every one 
 that knew her. As a wife she was ever a faithful, loving helpmeet 
 to her husband; as a mother she was always kind, tender and 
 true, and was a loving mother to the little girl that had fallen to 
 her care. W. R. Goss' third wife was Mrs. Lucy F. Chandler of 
 Madison Co., Ga., She was a member of the Baptist Church and 
 made him a good, kind wife, and was a good step-mother. She 
 bore no children. She survives him and resides, this 1902, at

The Goss Family. 
 
 27 
 
 Ga., May 14, 1837. They had nine children. Thus you see she 
 was only sixteen years of age when she had taken upon her self 
 the duties and responsibilities of a wife. She made a most excel- 
 lent wife, was a devoted and loving mother, a consecrated Chris- 
 tian, having joined the Missionary Baptist Church at twelve years 
 of age. She was loyal to her church and its cause. William Lan- 
 caster, her husband, was born in North Carolina Feb. 7, 181 5; 
 was a good Christian man, a good husband and a friend to all in 
 distress. He was a member of the Congregational Methodist 
 Church, a noble and patriotic man. Fought in the Civil War and 
 was captain of the 3rd Battalion of Ala. Volunteers ; was a 
 planter and financier. There seems always to have been in the 
 family a strong tendency to the independence of agricultural pur- 
 suits. He contracted a fatal disease while fighting for the "lost 
 cause" and was sticken down at Greenville, Ala. His wife went 
 to him, tenderly nursed him until he became able to be brought 
 home. After reaching home he continued to grow weaker until the 
 end, which came Oct. 31, 1864, an d was buried at Good Hope, Ala. 
 His wife was left in easy circumstances, though with five small 
 children to raise. But she was a woman ''that looketh well to the 
 ways of her household," and by perseverance and good manage- 
 ment she lived on and raised her children in plenty. In the latter 
 part of her life she was a great sufferer and many, many times 
 have her children persuaded her to ''break up" and make their 
 homes her home, but she never consented, but clung to the "old 
 home." The house still stands on an elevation near the public 
 road leading from Wetumpka to Tallasee. It is a large white 
 house, veranda back and front. It has quite a colonial appearance 
 with its large square columns supporting its front. It was here 
 that this good woman lived, and here she died on Oct. 2, 1882. 
 Her last words were "dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt re- 
 turn and the spirit unto the God who gave it." 
 
 The record of this family is a noble one, showing that the 
 family, through every variety of experience and trial, has kept a 
 high respectability and met all the demands of life with ability, 
 fortitude and success, Children:

 Rev. Jas. N. Coile was a good preacher, a good teacher and a 
 good farmer. He began preaching after his marriage and sold 
 a farm to improve his education for this purpose, and went to 
 
The Goss Family. 39 
 
 school in Lexington, Ga., with three of his oldest children. After 
 this he spent his life in Northeast Georgia, preaching, teaching 
 and farming till the day of his death, which occurred Oct. 24,

 He was one of the purest and best of men, never wronging any 
 one, but honest and just in all his dealings with his fellow men. 
 He ranks among the best men and among the best preachers of his 
 section of the State. His wife, Susan E. Coile, shared with him 
 a large part of the burden and honor of his strenuous but useful 
 and successful life. She took care of the stuff and children at 
 home while he went away to his work. Thus the farm and house 
 work went on just the same, and the children were under as good 
 control when he was gone as when at home. Mrs. Coile resides 
 at Winterville, Oglethorpe Co., Ga. Children :

 "I am a farmer. Our farm is four miles south of Comer, containing 
 175 acres. Our cottage home has seven rooms. We raise corn, cotton, 
 wheat, oats, peas, potatoes and meat; have beans, cabbage and tomatoes, 
 strawberries, grapes, peaches, apples, prunes, plums, and cherries. We 
 keep cows and have milk and butter. We raise chickens and have chickens 
 and eggs. We keep bees and have honey. Then we run our little cannery 
 in the summer and can corn, beans, peaches, tomatoes and strawberries, 
 so we can have these things any time of the year. 
 
 "We read the papers : The Weekly Constitution, the Semi-weekly Jour- 
 nal, Sunny South, Christian Index, Home and Farm, the Woman's Home 
 Companion, the Cincinnati Weekly Enquirer and our county paper, the 
 Oglethorpe Echo. We have our flower yard and raise flowers to decorate 
 
40 Genealogy of 
 
 our house with. We keep an organ for our children to make music on. 
 I have lived in the settlement where I was born sixty-four years and have 
 never been drunk or in jail. I have a powerful good wife. She was 
 raised a Presbyterian. She is a splendid cook, a nice seamstress, cuts and 
 makes our girls' dresses, does a great deal of nice knitting, such as shawls 
 and lace work, drawn work, &c. She is a good Baptist and loves to attend 
 the services of her church."

 MARY CHARLOTTE 4 GOSS (34) was born May n, 1852, 
 when she was seven years old her father moved to Lumpkin, 
 Stewart Co., Ga., where he remained many years, including the 
 period of the Civil War. Here she and her brothers and sisters 
 had good school advantages in the Masonic Temple College, and 
 the Male Academy. When she was sixteen years old, her father 
 moved to Keene, jessamine Co., Ky. She there attended a school 
 taught by her uncle, Thomas B. Gordon, boarding in his family ; 
 after this she taught two years in Ky. as assistant for her brother, 
 I. H. Goss. Her father having returned to Ga., she found work 
 in the school room there. Two more years were spent in teaching. 
 Some intervening years were spent with her father on his farm 
 near Bowman, Ga. It was in this neighborhood she met Isham 
 Goss Glower, to whom she was married Dec. 20, 1876. Her 
 father, Rev. Isham H. Goss, had performed the marriage cere- 
 mony for J. D. Glower and Paulina Vaughn, and they named 
 their first boy, Isham Goss Glower, for him. Though born sixteen 
 or more miles apart and never meeting until grown, it seemed 
 quite natural that the children of these good friends should love 
 and marry. After twenty-five years of life together they realize 
 that a kind Father's hand has guided all their moves. They reside 
 (1902) on their farm, situated in the suburbs of the town of Bow- 
 man, Ga., and are contented and happy. They are consistent 
 members of the Baptist Church.

 JUDGE JOHN AUSTIN 5 LANCASTER (46) was born in 
 Troup Co., Ga., Dec. 15, 1839, where he lived until he was eight 
 or ten years of age. His parents then moved to Elmore Co., Ala., 
 where he spent his entire after life. John A. was raised on a 
 farm and received a good education in the neighboring schools. 
 When the war between the States broke out, he volunteered 
 among the first, and made a fine record as a brave and efficient 
 soldier. 
 
 He became first lieutenant of Co. D, 17th Alabama Regiment, 
 and was badly wounded in the battle of Franklin, Tenn. On his 
 return from the war he found property and nearly everything 
 else swept away. He went to work, however, with a will, and by 
 teaching school and farming he soon was enabled not only to 
 care for himself, but also to aid his family and friends. On 
 March 1, 1866, he was married to Miss Francis Aldora Lett, a 
 
5» 
 
 Genealogy of 
 
 girl as sweet and amiable as she was beautiful of face. She was 
 born Feb. 28, 1849, and was at the time of her marriage seven- 
 teen years of age. 
 
 It is doubtful if any man ever applied himself more labor- 
 iously to duty than did John A. Lancaster. By dint of hard 
 labor and close economy he soon found himself in easy circum- 
 stances and used his means in giving good advantages to his 
 family and in lending a helping hand to those in distress. 
 
 The poor found in him a ready friend, and many a man to-day 
 can testify to this truth. 
 
 He was a large-hearted, conservative, generous man, abreast 
 of the times. Provident, broad-seeing magnet around which 
 property and men naturally gathered. He soon became a prom- 
 inent and unusually popular man in his county. This latter fact 
 drew him into the field of politics, and as the nominee of his 
 party for sheriff he was the first Democrat to carry his county. 
 After serving one term as sheriff he was nominated for Judge 
 of Probate, and was elected continuously until he resigned a few 
 years before his death. In Feb., 1899, J onn A. Lancaster was 
 taken sick and was never again a well man. His sufferings were 
 great. His physicians failed in diagnosing his case and it was 
 never fully known what the real trouble was, but seemed to be 
 the brain. Never was man more tenderly cared for than he. 
 His devoted wife seemed to live in the very atmosphere of his 
 every "beck and call," for three long years she never left his 
 side, only to prepare some dainty nourishment for him, and he 
 was always happiest when she was near him. 
 
 One year before he died he lost his eyesight, and at times his 
 mind was gone, and it was indeed pitiful and heart-rending to 
 hear him call for each of his children and ask where they were, 
 and he never tired of calling the name he loved so well, that of 
 his wife, "Dora, Dora, are you here ?" The answer always came 
 back: "Yes, I am here." He never connected himself with any 
 church until after he was taken sick. His pastor, Rev. A. L. 
 Andrews, visited him often during his sickness, and they spent 
 many hours in earnest conversation on religion, until he became 
 satisfied of his acceptance with God, and was received into the 
 communion of the Methodist Epicopal Church, South. That was 
 indeed a solemn hour when he united himself with the church.

 and his family all knelt around his bed and received with him 
 the emblems of our Lord's sufferings and death. (His wife is a 
 consecrated Christian, a member of the Methodist Episcopal 
 Church, South. All their children belong to the same church.) 
 On the 6th day of March, 1901, the end came, and he died as 
 peacefully as a little child falling asleep. He was buried in the 
 Wetumpka cemetery. Children:

 brave young man, ever ready and faithful to his trust in the 
 most furious conflict. His education was completed at the Cen- 
 tral "Institute," under Dr. F. A. Bragg. He joined the Meth- 
 odist Episcopal Church, South, when twenty years of age and 
 was ever ready to support its cause. He was a true and noble 
 man, his motto, "Dare to do right." He was a financier and 
 capitalist, was noted for his fair and honest dealings with his fel- 
 low man. God never blessed his home with a living child, but 
 it has often been called "The Orphans' Home," he having reared 
 four orphans, one boy and three girls. They bless his name,

 successful in a marked degree, and at his present age enjoys the 
 high esteem and respect of his fellow-man. While Mr. Lancas- 
 ter has never connected himself with any religious organization, 
 he is inclined to affiliate with the M. E. Church, South. His 
 private life is above reproach and by the purity of his conversa- 
 tion and many quiet deeds of charity has wielded a potent in- 
 fluence for good. On Mar. i, 1878, he married Lula Carolyn 
 Osburn, born at Natches, Miss., Aug. 30, 1861, and who at an 
 early age being left motherless, was reared by her grandparents, 
 Mr. and Mrs. Theophilus Osburn, at Tallassee, Ala., but having 
 married at the early age of seventeen her educational course was 
 not completed. At the age of 16 she became a member of the 
 M. E. Church, South, and her many Christian graces and loy- 
 alty to the welfare of her husband and family at once distinguish 
 her as an ideal wife. She is a woman endowed with many per- 
 sonal charms and ever ready to help the sick or distressed, and 
 is loved by all her neighbors and numerous friends. One child:

FORMS FOR CONTINUING FAMILY 
 . RECORD 
 
 The following forms are intended for use continuing the 
 family record in direct line of descent of persons possessing a 
 copy of the work. It would be impracticable to provide for 
 continuing the record in all the lines, hence, it is contemplated 
 that but one family of each generation will be recorded, that 
 being the family of the person who by gift, inheritance or other- 
 wise takes the book as it descends from generation to genera- 
 tion. 
 
 It may be remarked that there are many persons who have 
 ancestors named in the work, but whose names do not appear, 
 and others whose names do appear, but of whom little is re- 
 corded, because the compiler was not in possession of the 
 needed information. To all such it is suggested, if the required 
 information is at hand, the record may be perfected, beginning 
 with the last ancestor named, using the following forms and 
 observing the system of reference by numbers. Use the pre- 
 ceeding pages of writing paper for index to these forms. 
 
 It is to be regretted that so little attention has been given 
 to the preservation of information relating to our ancestors. 
 Thousands of persons are to-day searching records, advertising 
 and corresponding, seeking information of their ancestry and 
 kindred.* 
 
 May not the compiler hope that this little book will be appre- 
 ciated and preserved for many years to come, and he be kindly 
 remembered for his arduous labor in its preparation? 
 
 *Let all your entries be made in a good handwriting with Arnold's 
 writing fluid or other first-class ink that will not fade.
