Dear Members:
Those of you who are not privileged to attend our
monthly meetings are missing a treat. Our programs have been
most outstanding this year, thanks to our Program Committee.
Ted 0. Brooke, C.G.R.S., of Marietta, .Georgia, spoke
at our May meeting. We enjoyed having Ted and his family meet
with us. Sam Pyle, one of our local members, brought our June
program. Both men spoke on Confederate soldiers and were most
interesting.
Ken Thomas, who writes a weekly genealogical column
for the Atlanta newspapers, will be our speaker at a luncheon
meeting in September. Any interested person is invited* and
all members are urged to bring their spouses to enjoy this
treat. This meeting will be on September 25 at 11:30 at the
Western Steer Restaurant on Highway 27 South in Carrollton.
Tickets are $10 per person which includes a nice lunch plus
the opportunity of hearing Ken speak. If by any chance you
are unable to come for lunch, tickets for the program only are
available for $3.50. Tickets are available from any local
member of the Genealogical Society.
We are pleased with your response to our request for
material for the Quarterly. Keep it coming. Thank you for
your pedigree charts, queries, etc. You make it possible for
us to publish a first-class Quarterly.
Mrs. Martha Anderson of the "Family Tree" in LaGrange
is coming to bring our program in October. This meeting will
be held at the Neva Lomason Library on Rome Street in Carrollton.
We are fortunate to be able to have her, and this meeting is
something you won't want to miss. See you there!
Most Sincerely,
Clarice S. Cox

Mrs. Doris Colson writes from Fitzgerald, Ga., that she shares
her copy of the Quarterly with Joseph K. Harper, age around 90,
who was born and reared in Carroll County. As a young man he went
to Fitzgerald to live with a brother, Dr. Aubrey Harper, and was a
rural mail carrier for 47 years. His father farmed in Carroll
County and was a writer for a Carroll County paper. Thanks, Mrs.
Colson, for sharing your sharing with us!
My Ancestors would have loved your Ancestors—and in fact, maybe
they did! — Ashleigh Bryant (Pot Shots)
Not to know what happened before we were born is to remain perpe¬
tually a child, for what is the worth of a human life unless it is
woven into the lives of our ancestors in the record of history.

MORE HISTORY OF COMPANY B
COBB’S LEGION (BOWDON VOLUNTEERS)
Carroll County, Georgia, was named in honor of John Carroll
of Maryland, one of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence.
What may not be so well known is the role that some of our Carroll
County ancestors played in the history of Maryland during the Civil
War and during General Lee’s Maryland Campaign in September, 1862,
I have lived a number of years in Rockville, Maryland, the
county seat of Montgomery County and now practically a suburb of
Washington, D.C. It was here recently that my interest in Carroll
County genealogy and in local history came together to become the
object of pleasant trips to the Maryland and Virginia countrysides,
for within 100 miles of Rockville, my great-grandfather, Thomas D.
Beck, and his unit, Carroll County's own Company B of Cobb's Georgia
Legion, fought four major Civil War Battles: Manassas, Virginia
(Aug ’62); Sharpsburg (Antietam), Maryland (Sep '62)5 Fredericksburg,
Virginia (Dec '62)j and Chancellorsville, Virginia (May ’63).
The Carroll Historical Quarterly, Vol. 1, 1968, lists 103
names of the Bowdon Volunteers in Company B, Cobb’s Legion. The
Genealogical Quarterly, Fall-Winter 1981, gives a more extensive
list. Thomas D. Beck and his older brother, Semore Y., are listed
with the volunteers of August 2?, 1861. Since they both lived
near Tyus, they may have only belatedly heard about all the
commotion up in Bowdon before they joined with-a separate group of
eighteen men.
In the Spring of 1862, Cobb's Legion joined in the defense of
Richmond where, during the Penninsula Campaign, they may have seen
the destruction of some of America's earliest historical landmarks
and archives during the desperation of battle.
Perhaps the Legion is best remembered by General Chamberlain
who received the formal surrender of Lee's forces at Appomattox. He
noted the small remnant of this once proud unit that had withstood
wave after wave of Federal Divisions attacking the famous "Sunken
Road" before Mayre's Heights during the First Battle of Fredericks¬
burg, Virginia, where General Chamberlain himself had lain wounded
through the cold December night. General Chamberlain was a
soldier's soldier who later became a United States Senator from
Maine. General Cobb, the well known and outspoken Southern Leader,
lost his life in this battle, just a few yards from his mother's
birthplace.
It was quite by accident that I discovered the movements of
Cobb's Legion during the Maryland Campaign that culminated in the
Battle of Sharpsburg. It was the mild September weather and the
memory of our visit in 1980 that prompted my wife and'me to return
with our young son, David, to see the Civil War reenactment of the
Battle of Crampton's Gap, which formed a part of the Battle of
South Mountain.
The reenactment took place on Sunday, September 13, 1981,
in the picturesque town of Burkittsville, Maryland, on the western
-90-
edge of Frederick County, about twelve miles west of Frederick City.
South Mountain runs north-south and separates Middletown Valley
from Pleasant Valley. Burkittsville lies in Middletown Valley,
right at the foot of South Mountain and Crampton's Gap, on the east
side.
"Burkittsville is a well-preserved, virtually unchanged
example of American townscape of the late 18th and early 19th
centuries," says the pamphlet published by the Burkittsville
District Heritage Society, Inc. Its two churches, one Lutheran,
the other Reformed, built before the Civil War, tell of its German
heritage from Pennsylvania. In 1975» the town was included in its
entirety on the National Register of Historic Places.
The town is a living museum that has changed little in out¬
ward appearance since Carroll County's Company B marched through on
the 10th or 11th of September in 1862 on their way to Harper's
Ferry, or on the 14th of September when they returned to help
defend the mountain gap road just past the town to the west. It
was atop the mountain road at Crampton's Gap that I found the
marker indicating the presence of Cobb's Georgia Legion on another
Sunday, 119 years ago.
It was the 5th or 6th of September, 1862, when Cobb's Legion
had first crossed the Potomac River near White's Ferry (it was a
ford at that time) and entered Maryland with about 55»000 men of
General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. They were short of
supplies but were flushed with a sense of pride in the Victory at
Second Manassas the previous week. With the song that Confederate
soldiers sang, "Maryland, My Maryland," they came with Lee to seek
recruits and supplies from the reported Southern sympathizers in
Maryland. On September 7 % they marched into Frederick, a bustling
Central Maryland town of importance in 1862.
Their reception was disappointing. Poolsville, the first
town after White's Ford, was a "Southern Maryland" town with many
sympathizers but Frederick was more reserved. Although populated
with people closely kin to the people in the Valley of Virginia,
the people of Frederick also had a close kinship with nearby
Pennsylvania and they knew that Washington was firmly in Federal
hands.
But Frederick was more than just a disappointment for Lee's
men. It was here that a copy of General Lee's order dividing his
forces was lost and fell into the hands of the Union commanders a
few days later, enabling them to seek out quickly Lee's separated
forces and outnumber them two to one.
The Confederate troops in Burkittsville and on Crampton's
Gap were just a rear-guard force detached mainly from General
Lafayette McLaw's Division, to which Cobb's Georgia Legion belonged.
McLaw's entire division had left Frederick on September 10 with the
rest of Lee's Army but had turned left and south and separated from
the main body of the Army.
With R. H. Anderson's Division, McLaw had marched the seven
miles to Jefferson. From Jefferson, they had turned west and
-91-
marched another seven miles to Burkittsville. A short distance
south of Burkittsville, they had then crossed over South Mountain
at Brownsville Pass (now closed to automobiles) and, after a fourmile march, had camped at Brownsville on the night of September 11.
In Brownsville, MeLaw set up headquarters in St. Luke's
Episcopal Church, built in 1834 and still standing today. Con¬
tinuing their march on the 12th, Cobb's Legion and the Divisions
had then marched the four miles to Weverton, Maryland, where they
waited until morning to continue another five miles and take up
positions on and near Maryland Heights, overlooking Harper's Ferry,
on the 13th.
But the breath-taking view down into Harper's Ferry at the
confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers had been of short
duration for Cobb's Legion. A spy had informed General Lee that
the Federals had found his lost order and, on .the evening of the
13th, Lee had sent a note to General McLaw ordering him to detach
some of his brigades to defend the Brownsville and Crampton Passes.
The situation was desperate. On the 13th, three Union
Divisions under the command of General William B. Franklin and
consisting of the entire VI Corps and one division of the IV Corps
had been ordered to force Crampton's Pass, to take Rohersville and
to cut off McLaw and relieve Harper's Ferry. By 3*00 p.m. on the
14th, General Franklin had moved his troops into position at
Burkittsville and opened the attack to clear Burkittsville and
push up the mountain gap road just to the west of the town.
The marker atop Crampton's Gap stated that Cobb's Legion and
Brigade had left Sandy Hook (near Harper's Ferry) on the 14th. The
march to Crampton's Gap was about nine miles up Pleasant Valley to
the Pass. With the 10th Georgia from Semme's Brigade, they arrived
at the Pass in time to take up positions at the top and to see the
12,000-man Union force under General Franklin pushing steadily
after the vastly outnumbered Confederates of Mahone's Infantry and
Mumford's Cavalry Brigades. Soon the whole Confederate position was
overpowered with many captured. (That may explain why Tom's
brother, Semore, was reported missing in October 1862.)
Before midnight on the 14th, Cobb's Brigade and five other
brigades had formed a defense line in Pleasant Valley near Browns¬
ville under the command of R. H. Anderson. General Franklin stayed
at the top of Crampton's Pass until he joined General McClellan at
Sharpsburg on the 17th. When Harper's Ferry fell on the 15th, the
way was clear for R. H. Anderson to rejoin General Lee by way of
Harper's Ferry.
General Lee had worried over the delays in taking Harper's
Ferry but the news of the 15th encouraged him to take up positions
at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on the morning of the 15th and to set the
stage for the most tragic battle (in terms of a single day's
casualties) of the entire Civil War.
Because of a surprising number of Maryland Civil War buffs,
I had heard of the Battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg, Maryland) long
92-
before I even learned my great-grandfather's name and unit. The
several trips I made there over the years only left me with a
general idea of where McLaw's Division had fought. Only last year
did I locate the marker for Cobb's Legion, a few feet off the •
Hagerstown road where the National Park road turns down toward
"Bloody Lane."
The marker places Cobb’s Legion near the West Woods, in the
center of Lee's line, to the left of Rode's Brigade and D. H. Hill's
Division and the infamous "Bloody Lane." The marker reads in part,
"CSA Longstreet's command, McLaw's Division, Cobb's Brigade, Lt.
Col. Sanders, 24th Ga Inf. Commanding -- 24th Ga Inf. 16th Ga Inf.
Cobb's Georgia Legion, 15th NC Inf."
The marker reads further that Cobb's Brigade had crossed the
Potomac (from Shepherdstown, West Virginia) (with McLaw's ? or
R. H. Anderson's ? Division) -at daybreak on September 17th and
halted near Lee's Headquarters west of Sharpsburg. They remained
in reserve as the battle raged for about three hours and about If
miles to the north. At about 9*20 a.m., they moved north (probably
with R. H-. Anderson's Division) as Lee's last reserve to reinforce
D. Ho Hill in the Sunken Road which was under heavy attack by
French's and Richardson’s Divisions. Cobb's Brigade, to the west
and left of the Sunken Road (soon to become forever known as "The
Bloody Lane"), first faced to the north against French's Division.
Later they faced east against the attack of Richardson's Division.
The fighting raged for about three hours until-1:00 p.m. when the
Confederates had been forced to fall back from Bloody Lane toward
Sharpsburg.
It rained all day the next day, September 18. Both armies,
exhausted, spent, and shocked, waited in the cold September rain
for an end to such misery. That evening, Lee gave the order for
his men to evacuate the field and cross the Potomac into Shepherds¬
town. Federal guns took up positions on the Maryland side and
sustained a galling fire into the town of Shepherdstown which was
filled with Confederate wounded. Thus ended the Maryland Campaign
and the awesome two-to-one advantage of the Union Forces.
Some of Cobb's Georgia Legion would return to Maryland on
their way to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, but not Tom Beck and his
brother Semore. Semore was killed on May 4, I863, at Chancellorsville, Virginia, and Tom received a severe leg wound there that
eventually sent him home to Carroll County on convalescent leave.
He later returned to Cobb's Legion in Richmond where the bone damage
to his leg left him only fit for light duty. However, he stayed
with his unit, Cobb's Legion, until its surrender at Appomattox and
later, in his pension application, stated that he had never been
captured. He was not listed with the few members of Cobb's Legion
that were paroled at Appomattox. One cousin claims that he had
Tom's Civil War rifle. Perhaps somehow he managed to avoid the
formal surrender and just hobble off with his rifle and his medical
slip.
Today however, 119 years later, the Maryland countryside
offers a peaceful and picturesque setting for the historical markers
for Cobb's Georgia Legion and Bowdon's own Company B. For those of
-93-
us interested in genealogy and in family history, they mark a
genealogical link that was stretched thin, almost to the breaking
point. Today, when we visit these sites, we may even sense the
tattered triumph of these men who managed to return home some' 116
years ago to a future made even less certain by their already
exhausting sacrifices.
Carroll County's sons also fought in many other units during
the Civil War. My great-grandfather lost two older brothers besides
Semore. One, Avington T. Beck, was killed in the Battle of Iuka,
Mississippi, with the 3rd Texas Cavalry; the other, Isaiah S. Beck,
III, died from wounds received in the Battle of Corinth, Mississippi,
while serving with the 41 Ga. Inf. Still another brother, Samuel B.
Beck, served with the 37 Ala, Inf. and was paroled first at Vicks¬
burg, Mississippi, and later at Greensboro, N.C., with General
Johnston's final surrender. Another older brother, Jeffrey Y.,
served in the Ga. State Guards.
Recently, the Maryland Legislature voted down a bill to
remove the objectionable verses from the State Song, "Maryland,
My Maryland," The statue of the Confederate Soldier near the
Courthouse in Rockville also survived an attempt to have it removed.
It seems that the economic and sectional differences between the
North and the South that date from the 1830's and had more to do
with tariffs and states' rights than with slavery are forgotten.
Thomas D. Beck's great-uncle was a Georgia legislator from
Rabun County who voted against secession. Slavery was hardly of
importance to the many Southerners who didn't own any slaves, and
even to some who did but who doubted the merits of the system.
These many Southerners from the Piedmont and the Mountains were
drawn into a second War of Independence, much as had Tom's great¬
grandfather in North Carolina during the American Revolution. I
honestly think that it would be an historical error to betray their
heroic sacrifices on some catch-all altar of racism. Our racial
misunderstandings of today's time could hardly be envisioned by
these Confederate Soldiers who fought mainly what the Indians
called "A White Man's War." It's my honest belief that few fought
harder than Bowdon's Company B, or with less malice toward their
fellow men.

Lois 0. Newman, Rt 2, Tallapoosa, Georgia 30176, writes as follows:
"I hope all of the members will remember while doing research
that Haralson County was at one time a part of Carroll County. In
fact most of the Seventh District and the Eighth and a small part
of the Sixth. We have the unique history of sharing in both the
1826-27 Creek Lottery and the 1832 Cherokee Lottery, or I should
say the land cessions."
