This Society was organized in 1976 in Carrollton, Georgia, for the
-mrrpose of preserving local records and evaluating and sharing such
records with persons who have an interest in genealogy. Membership
is open to all persons who are interested in_genealogy in Carroll
County and surrounding areas, or persons living anywhere who have
roots in Carroll County or an interest in the founding fathers and
history of the County.. This Society does not assume responsibility

Dear Member S
With this quarterly we are concluding what we believe has been a
successful year for both the quarterly and the society. If you will
pardon a little reminiscence, I would like to review some of our
accomplishments this year.
This year marked the publication of Carroll County Cemeteries,
the largest publication ever attempted by our society. As in any
undertaking of this magnitude, there were corrections and additions
to be made, and we hope to put these in your hands next year as one
of our quarterlies.
I believe that our monthly programs have been excellent.
Several of these have been given by members who shared the story of
the migration of their families with the rest of the group. We have
also had a basic genealogical workshop, an outstanding luncheon
program (with Frances Beckemeyer of the Taylor Foundation and Mary
Ruth Green, president of the Georgia Genealogical Society, as
speakers), a very entertaining and informative lecture by Bob Davis
(author of Research in Georgia and The Georgia Black Book), our
annual picnic, and a field trip to the Georgia Department of Archives
and History and to the Regional Branch of the National Archives.
I thank you each for your cooperation, especially those who have
taken time to notify us of corrections or additions to the cemetery
book. I have enjoyed this past year as president and know that the
new president will find the job both challenging and rewarding. I
wish each of you success in your family research during the coming
year. We will try to continue to serve your needs.

TANGLED ROOTS
by Angus P. Robinson
228 East 144th St., Dolton, IL 60419
In 1827, 2-s the new territory of Northwest Georgia was opened, to
settlers, individuals and families came to stake their claims on the
land of the Cherokee and Creek Indians, The Land Lottery of 182? and
1832 granted land to the lucky drawers and these, along with speculators,
moved from their previous residences to this area. Some of the descen¬
dants of those people are living there today. Many moved to other areas
of Georgia while some died leaving no one to mourn them nor to tell
their families, if there were any, where these people were buried. Today
this area is rich in history but, as in other parts of the country, many
of the present generation are oblivious to the part their families may
have had in shaping what is now Carroll County,“ Georgia. 1 would like
to tell the story of one family whose ancestor had left the British
Isles some one hundred and twenty years before for Virginia, and settled
in what is now Haralson County, Georgia, but which in 1827 was a part ox.-p
the new Carroll County.
This story was almost lost to the present generation and within
another fifteen to twenty years would have gone the way all history must
go if it is not recorded. To those early settlers who braved the
wilderness trails to clear land, to live with --- and sometimes fight
with — the Cherokee and Creek Indians, I dedicate this story. May
Georgia
hi
those stories live forever In the annals of
In the Spring of 1827 a young man with his wife, three small
children, and his widowed mother arrived in the Cherokee Territory
which would soon become Carroll County. Also accompanying him were
young brother-in-law and three of his wife5s sisters. Their mode of
transportation is not known but probably it was by wagon drawn by oxen
or perhaps a pair of horses. There would probably have been at least
three wagons, perhaps more. That they came from Rhea County, Tennessee,
is known from Tennessee records but not their transportation.
John M. Robinson was born In North Carolina at the junction of
the Yadkin and Rocky Rivers in July of 1787. He was one of nine known
children, five boys and four girls. His parents were Tyree and Mary
(Adams) Robinson, Tyree and his wife were born in Virginia; where they
married has never been ascertained but it is believed to have occurred
in North Carolina. Tyree and his family left North Carolina after the
1800 Federal Census was taken but before 1808, In the latter year
In 1811 he was in Rhea
827,
One of the sons of Tyree and Mary, "Polly," apparently left the
State prior to 1800 since he was found in Kentucky where he was a witness
for a cousin’s marriage in 1798. In 1800 this son, Tyree Jr., was
located in Montgomery County, Kentucky. Shortly thereafter he would
move into the Illinois Territory, settling first in Gallatin County and
later in Wayne County.
Tyree’s sisters married and they, in turn, also moved north Into
Illinois where they have been found in court records of that period.
Scraps of paper still in the possession of the Southern Family tell us
that Tyree Jr. died in 1829. Another brother, Nathan(iel), died in
180? while another joined the U. S. Army in 1808 in Tennessee. The
latter son was Jeffrey Robinson who enlisted as a 2nd Lt,, and was
stationed at Hiawassee until about 1810 when he was transferred to
Tyree was found in White County, Tennessee
County where his family was to live until
Louisiana. Another son- Mill Mills Robinson, died in 1814,
sparse family records. The father, Tyree Sr., die
leaving his third oldest son, John M. Robinson, to
according to
! in 1815 in Tennessee
care for his mother.

In January of 1822* John Mo Robinson married Mary Gilliam
Lavender of Knoxville, Tennessee. Her grandmother was Mary Gilliam,
wife of Devereau Gilliam. Col. Gilliam had a fort near present-day
Knoxville, Tennessee, called Ft. Gilliam.
Mary Gilliam Lavender was the daughter of John Lavender and his
wife, Mary. There were four other sisters.* Barbara, married Thomas

official record of his marriage
Dunahou; Edith Painter Lavender, marr:
Michael Lavender, married John D. Ray
Lavender, married Thomas McGuire
girls, George Michael Lavender, but
has been found.
The first property purchased in Carroll County was Land Lot #1?4
and #203 by George M* Lavender, who was not a stranger to this area.
Earlier he had worked for Chief Ross at Rossville in the trading post
situated there. Soon he would become a partner with Sub-Chief Ridge and
Daniel Mitchell in another trading post some seven miles above presentday Rome, Georgia. The small mountain there is still called Lavender
Mountain and the little settlement was known as Lavenderville.
In 1828, John M. Robinson purchased his first documented lot.
This was Lot #155» District 80 The first living quarters of the
Lavender and Robinson Families were probably two huts built close
together with a common roof between the two structures. Through the
following years both men were to purchase thousands of acres of land
in a three- or four-county area. In the Georgia Land Lottery of I832,
John M. and his mother, Mary ’’Polly,” drew a lot each. John's lot was
in Gilmer Co., Lot 39# 5th Dist«, 2nd Section. His mother’s lot was
#255 in the 26th Dist., 3rd Section, Walker County. Although the
Revolutionary War service of John's father, Tyree Sr., has never been
proved through contemporary records, his mother claimed her right to
draw as a "Widow of a Revolutionary Soldier." Their residence in
Carroll County was shown as "Burgess's." Although the years after their
arrival in Carroll County must have been hard, at least to our modern
ways of living, they probably lived well for that period. Shortly
after their arrival in Carroll County, three additional children were
born, two males and one female. One of the male children died shortly
after birth and he became the first to be buried in the Family Cemetery.
In 1833 the death of John's mother took place and
near her grandson. Through the next thirty years
known family members were added to this small plot of ground. There
are at least three known people, other than direct family, buried there
and also the mother-in-law of one of John's daughters. Two other
members of the family also died but their burial place is not known but
believed to have been in this Cemetery. Both were spouses of John's
children. One is believed to be Madison G. Harper, husband of Barbara
Ann Robinson; the other, Harriet A. Smith, wife of Norvell M. Robinson.
The mother-in-law is known to be Sarah M. (Hundley) Pendleton, widow of
Joseph Pendleton of Virginia. Mrs. Pendleton was the mother of Henry
Clay Pendleton who married Nancy Elizabeth Robinson.
The three others of no known family relationship are Jesse Mann
and his first and second wives, Cynthia Ann Brooke Mann and Sarah Gober
Mann, respectively. This information came from a member of the Mann
Family as told to Mrs. Lois Newman, resident of Haralson County. Their
Family Bible gives the death dates and information on their children.
There is some local gossip concerning the tombstones which
supposedly were on each grave. Sometime before the Second World War,
she was laid to rest
or so, at least ten
someone removed many of the stones to make a walkway for their home but
were forced to return at least some of them by descendants of some of
those buried in the cemetery. Although many of the stones are believed
-113-
to have been inscribed with the name(s) of those buried, the only stone
found in 1978 that had been so marked was that of George Michael Lavender
who had died in 1839* His stone, broken in several pieces, is in the
possession of Mr. George Hagood, present owner of the property. It is
hoped that sometime in the near future a suitable monument can be
erected on the site to mark the last burial place of those early pioneers
and prevent further desecration or encroachment on the cemetery.
Robinson Family stories tell us that George M. Lavender and
John M. Robinson operated an Indian trading post on their land in
Carroll County. They traded with the Creek Indians. 1841 and 1842 tax
records for Carroll County indicate that there was merchandise on the
property, but whether it was an Indian trading post or not isn't known
so far. It is known that the two men became quite wealthy for their
period of time. Through the years both men purchased many acres of land
surrounding their respective areas of residence.
By the Spring of 1846, John M. Robinson and Ipis wife, Mary G.,
were the parents of ten living children, four others “having died. In
July of 1846, tragedy struck the family, Taking from their home the
mother of those fourteen children. Mary was laid to rest in the little
cemetery. For almost two yeai
care of his several young children. In 1648 he remarried,
a young lady of DeKalb or Cass County, Georgia. They were

Fain was born 5 May 1832 to Joel and Nancy (Lay)

parents were John and Polly Lay of Cass County.
During the years before the outbreak of hostilities between the
years John led a lonely life, trying to take
children. In 1648 he remarried, this time to
Cass County, Georgia. They were married in

The second oldest child was Adeline Eliza^Robinson, born 1824 in
Tennessee. She married Dennis Fletcher Hammond, in 1844. Mr. Hammond
was an attorney, later judge in Heard and Carroll Counties. In later
years, after a judgeship in Coweta County, he became Mayor of Atlanta
in 1871. They were the parents of nine known children, only.four^of
whom are known to have reached adulthood. Two became attornies like
their father. One became President of Central College, Fayette,
Missouri. The only surviving daughter was Octavia who married Augustus D.
Adair in 1868.
The oldest and first born son was Nerve1.1 M. Rooinson, born 1826
in Tennessee. He married Harriet A. Smith in 1350 in Carroll County,
Georgia. They had six known children, three boys and three girls. He
died in 1890 and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Atlanta, where many of
his children are also buried (Blk.319-4,Sec.#22).
The next oldest child was John Lavender Robinson, born in 1828
in Carroll County. He married Jane Ann Owens and they were the parents
of five sons named John W. Robinson, who
Thomas J. Robinson*, Madison E. Robinson?
married Louisa Patience Powell?
Willie M. Robinson; and
-114-
Charles H. Robinson. No further information is available on the sons.
John L. Robinson died, just prior to the "War" in i860. In 1869» his
widow married a brother of Dennis F. Hammond, Elisha Q. Hammond.
The next child was a son, George Michael Robinson (first of the
name), who died as an infant.
The sixth child was Bethenia Robinson who married in 1871 Samuel
Yateman. No further information is known.
The seventh child is believed to have died young, as did at least
one more. No names are known but burial was in the small cemetery.
In 1834 another son was born and named George Michael Robinson.
He served in Company "H", 1st Ga. Cav. during the conflict between the
States as 2nd Lt. He resigned his commission in I863. He was married
in I869 to Mollie Johnston. Very little information further is known
other than he became a lawyer and in I87O he was shown as the father of
one son, John Robinson.
The eleventh child was Susan Edilia Robinson, born in 1837 in
Carroll County. She married in 1866 Thomas S. Garner. They were the
parents of four known offspring. They are also buried in Oakwood
Cemetery, Atlanta, Georgia.
The fourteenth child was Barbara Ann Robinson, born in 1838 in
Carroll County. She married Madison G. Harper on 22 July 1853* No
known offspring.
The fifteenth child was Mary "Polly" Ellen Robinson, born in 1842
in Carroll County. She married James Henry Hammond, brother of Dennis
Hammond, in i860. He died leading a charge against the Yankees at the
Battle of Chickamauga, the first day of the Battle. He survived long
enough to be brought home to Atlanta where he died in the home of Dennis
and Adeline Hammond. No further information is known of Mary Ellen.
The last daughter of John and Mary (Lavender) Robinson was Nancy
Elizabeth Robinson, born in 1845 in Carroll County. She married Henry
Clay Pendleton, former officer in the Confederate Army, in I869* He
was descended from the famous Pendletons of Virginia where he had lived
prior to the "War." After the War his family home was found destroyed
and in a fit of depression he moved to Georgia where he met Nancy
Robinson. They had ten known children, most of whom lived in and around
Clarkston, Georgia. The mother of Henry C. Pendleton was Sarah (Hundley)
Pendleton who died 1901 and was buried in the Robinson/lavender Cemetery
near Tallapoosa, Georgia. Mr. Pendleton's father was Joseph Holmes
Pendleton, born 1809 in Virginia, (Ref. Source: W&M Quarterly, Vol. 12,
No. 1, January 1932 & Tyler's Quarterly, Vol. 28, No. 2, Oct. 1946.)
Additional information has come from family sources in South
Carolina concerning many of these families. Much is still left to be
f ound.
The Robinson Family apparently were Methodist and many of the
family who moved to Atlanta attended Trinity Church there. John
Robinson, in 1853* donated one acre of land to the "Methodist Church
Pine Grove Academy" at or near the crossroads in Tallapoosa. The deed
states this was on Lot. #153* 8th Dist. Not much record remains
concerning this Academy, but what there is can be discussed with
Mrs. Lois Newman, of Tallapoosa, Georgia, who has done much research
there.
At the beginning of hostilities between the North and South,
John M. Robinson was seventy-three. His sons had left to carry on their
own businesses. Consequently, he started selling much of his land in
or just prior to the War. In 1855 he sold twenty acres of land in
Dist. 20, situated on Lot #873« -In 1861 he sold seven lots, including
the lot where the Cemetery was, to Hugh Brewster. These were Lots Nos.
109, 173* 17^* 175* 15^» 155* 203» and 222, Six of the lots had 202|r
-115-
acres and one had 125 acres. It was in this land sale that the
reservation was made concerning the Cemetery which stipulated that the
reservation was thirty-six yards square, not thirty-six square yards.
In I863» John Robinson sold five more lots to Aaron Haas and
Abraham Swab of Fulton County, Georgia. The lot numbers were 105» 153»
128, 127» and 103. Two of these lots were 202-Jr acres, one was 2001-
acres 5 another was 180 acres, and the last two were about 100 acres each.
In August of 1863, John sold to John W. Robinson (I believe this
was his grandson) 101|- acres in Dist. 10, Lot 112. John also owned land
in Coweta County, but little is known of the legal description of this
land. In 1879» John M. Robinson died in Atlanta and was laid to rest
in his daughter's and son-in-law’s burial plot in Oakwood Cemetery.
Nearby lie his son, Norvell M. Robinson, with many of his children.
There is much more information available which doesn't concern
Carroll County and in which few in Carroll County would be interested.
After the marriage of John M. Robinson to Martha A. Fain, five
children were born. Two have been found in Coweta County chronicals.
One, Thomas Adams Robinson, became the Town Marshall for a short while.
Joel Fletcher Robinson was also mentioned. Both belonged to one of the
militia groups there which were reformed after the end of the War.
Another became my grandfather. He was William Fain Robinson, born 1854.
He married Irene "Ida" Morris, daughter of Thomas Angus Morris. The
Morris Family owned a produce store in downtown Atlanta. The Morris
Family had been in the area since the days of Marthasville, but little
is known of this lineage otherwise. There were at least three sisters
of Irene Morris. They were Tosora, Tocora, and Emma. Tocora married
Dave Evans and Emma married an Adams. No further information is known.
I would appreciate any further information on any of the lines
mentioned herein. I can provide much additional detail on the Robinson
Line.

The following article was published in the Grandview Tribune, Friday,
April 1, 1983. We are printing this information with the same spelling
and phrasing as it appeared in the original article.
• STORY OF HEATH FAMILY
The Heath family arrived in Grandview, Texas in the late 1890's,
It is believed the family left Carroll County Georgia after a brother
of Mrs. heaths, Jasper G. McKee came to Grandview. The Heath family
arrived By Train. The Heaths soon moved to house on the Major Lee farm
near Lee Summit School and Church. This house as you go north toward
Island Creek bridge, set on west side of road almost in front of
Sylvester McDuffs father's home. The family lived at^this place about
two years. They bought farm and moved west of Grandview on old road to
Parker. A few miles west there is road leading to Oakland School. The
above picture was taken at this home known as the RED HOUSE. The
Grandmother McKee had two other children around Grandview, Jasper G.
McKee and Mrs. Jack Bailey.
The Heaths decided they wanted to find place more like Carroll
118
County Georgia. In 1907 they moved to near Blair (Warren), Oklahoma.
There they lived all their days. About 1912 the Heaths made return

not remember much as to this Family except one SON became ENGINEER on
MK&T Flyer Passenger train, bringing EARLY Morning service along the
way from Waco to Ft. Worth. The younger Walravens moved to Cleburne.
I am told some of the family run used car lot in Cleburne years ago.

wonder EX-NEIGHBOR. William Heath didn't stay long in Oklahoma until
he came back to stay few years he worked at gins in fall worked for
Pruitt Gin one season in Itasca.
So the Heath Family all lived around the Community of Warren,
Oklahoma, and all are buried in the Warren Cemetery except for three
of the family.
Jasper G. McKee lived for many years on McDuff farm in big house
just across first creek south of Grandview. The house burned few
years AGO. The farm I am told belongs to Mr. Bailey today. A daughter
Renie McKee, married Frank London, the London family moved to Corpus
Christi County long years ago. Daughter Lanie McKee married Bob Booher,
a daughter Mrs. Katherine Laird lives in Grandview community today.
Daughter Julia McKee married Porter Smith. Their daughter Julia Mae,
married Lewis Chambers. They live East of Grandview on Maypearl road.
Mrs, Jack Bailey (Nee McKee), this family lived around Grandview
many^years. Decided to go WEST, they moved to Washburn, Texas near
Amarillo, Texas. Some of the family live today near Claude, Texas.
We are told the old Jack Baileys are buried in Auburn Cemetery East of

MARY GREEN BELL
Mary Green Bell, who died in Carroll County in 1883 at the age of
103 years, was born in South Carolina.
Land records in Abbeville County, South Carolina, show that her
father, Peter Green, owned more than-1000 acres.
Peter Green's will and inventory are in the Abbeville County Court¬
house. The will is very fragile.

THE HISTORY OF A FAMILY REUNION
On the fourth Sunday in June, 1983, the McLENDON family held its
fourth annual reunion in Carrollton at Tanner State Park. The first
reunion was organized by three descendants of Augustus Jackson McLENDON:'
Dona McLENDON OWENS of Heflin, Alabama, Phyllis STONE BROWN of Palmetto,
Georgia, and Bob McLENDON's wife Lois of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. It and
two successive reunions were held at Hopewell (Cleburne Co.), Alabama,
the Augustus Jackson McLENDON homeplace.
An account of the first reunion appeared in a Carrollton newspaper,
along with a photograph of Augustus Jackson, his parents, and eleven
brothers and sisters. His father was Isaac Newton McLENDON, Sr., of
Carroll County; his mother was Mary Ann Eliza ROWE. The twelve children
were Francis Olivia (m. Frank MORRIS); Augustus Jackson (m. 1st Joseph
Milford Eugene PENTECOST, m, 2nd Minnie Lee BEAVERS, m. 3rd Ida Viola
LAMINACK); Mary Elizabeth (who did not marry); Martha Ella (m. William
Newt WALKER); William Beauregarde (m. Lou
(m. William A. HUBBARD); Clifton Warner (m
Ross MARTIN); Sonora Alice
Ora Byrd NORTH); Willis
Allen (m. Edna Lois STIPE); Isaac Newton Jr. (m. Susan JONES); Custis
Lee (m. Annie Lavonia SHACKLEFORD); Virginia Emma (m. James M. HENDRIX);
and Thomas Simpson (m. Alice Lorene LOVVORN).
A relative from Carrollton sent the newspaper clipping to Gaines
Preston McLENDON, my father-in-law, who is the son of the twelfth child,
Thomas Simpson. He wrote to Dona OWENS, whose address appeared on the
clipping, and asked to be invited to the next reunion, which he was.
My husband, Gaines Earl McLENDON, Preston, and I prepared to go
with much excitement. Earl and Preston were anxious to renew old
acquaintances with lost relatives, and I, to add to my McLENDON
genealogy. I was elated to find that, including myself, there were six
genealogists present: Dona, Phyllis, and Lois; Dennis YOUNG of Temple
(a descendant of Clifton Warner) and Gary 6ZBURN of Atlanta (a descendant
of Francis Olivia). Several of us came prepared to exchange information
and the ones who didn't were kicking themselves.
At our third reunion, the rains came and the people didn't. .The
few^ of us who were there had a good time and at the business meeting,
Dona, the chairman, asked to retire and pass the organization job on.
Preston, with the assurance of my help, accepted the job. It was
decided to hold the fourth reunion in Carrollton, the old homeplace of
Isaac Newton, Sr., and to try to expand the attendance to include all
his descendants, as well as to some of the lateral branches of the
family who were all descended from one Jacob McLENDON, Sr., who came to
Wilkes Co., Georgia, in 1?74 The fxj-p < court In Georgia after the
Revolution was held in Jacob's home.
Dona, Phyllis and Lois turned over their invitation lists to us,
then we started to research Isaac Newton's
descendants. Among the family Bibles, news :C.
iildren, eleven of whom had
.ippings, and photographs
shared with us by the older members of the family a Carrollton
clipping (loaned by sisters Mary Lou FULLER and Grace McLENDON of
Bowdon, descendants of William Beauregarde) of a 1943 reunion which
listed all the people who attended, as well as the cities where they
lived. This yielded some almost forgotten names of families who had
moved away from Carroll County. We went to the library and xeroxed the
pages from the phone books of Carrol-lton and. the other cities with the
known family names on them. We added recognized names and flABA
speculative ones to our lists,
and sent notices to newspapers

We went to Macon to the Washington Memorial Library and spent a
day researching the city directories there for clues, from 19^3 to the
present for the Isaac Newton Jr. family, with whom all had lost contact.
Sadly, the last name known to us disappeared from the directories in
1981e To have been so close In time and then to have lost the thread!
Of the several speculative names from the Macon phone book to whom
we wrote, none answered, but our lists had grown, our invitations were
printed and mailed, and our covered shelter at the park reserved. After
that we waited, like the mother of the bride, afraid that either three
people would show up, or the church would burst at the seams.
The great day arrived and all our worries were for nothing.^ No
clouds in the sky, literally or figuratively. Of the eleven families,
all but the Macon branch were represented!
To our original six genealogists were added two promising young
family members? Bill MARTIN of Carrollton (a descendant of Thomas
Simpson), and Sharon BERNHARDT of Fitzgerald (a descendant of Martha
Ella), plus a descendant of Jacob of Wilkes County, Hinkle McLENDON, Ji
of Charleston, a fine genealogist who has been published in "The History

and newspaper clippings were spread

Five picnic tables were loaded with marvelous food, but
almost 200 cousins would literally rather talk than eat. Many hadn't
seen each other in more than thirty years and the younger generations
(many drawn by the Park attractions) hadn’t met at all. Some of the
younger people of Carrollton had gone to school together and hadn't
known they were related. It was most gratifying to see all ohe longlost cousins so happy to see each othe Descendants of McLENDONs
MORRISes, WALKERS, HUBBARDs, and HENDRIXes all so glad to be together
again. They came from Carrollton, Atlanta, Cedartown, Fitzgerald,
Temple, East Point, Douglasville, Kennesaw, Palmetto, Roopville, and
Bowdon, from Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, South,Carolina, and Oklahoma.
The "Founding Mothers" of the reunion, Dona, Phyllis, and Lois,
having turned the mantle over to Preston, still gave unstintingly of
their time and resources. In turn, David Wilton McLENDON of 2004
Roberson Street, Jacksonville, Alabama 36265, was elected chairman for
the coming year, to be assisted by his sister Louise WILLIAMS of
Carrollton (both descendants of William Beauregards), and Dennis YOUNG
was elected treasurer. It was decided to hold the reunion again next
year at Tanner State Park on•the fourth Sunday in June.

The desire for the Indians to leave Georgia escalated after a visit
by the great Shawnee chief, Tecumseh, to the Upper Creek in Alabama.
Hostilities between them and the U. S. Government broke out and in 1813
the Creek invaded Fort Mims, near present-day Mobile, killing five
hundred white settlers This began the Creek Wars Events over the
next eighteen years finally led to their forced removal to the west of
the Mississippi River in what is now Oklahoma.
Within these eighteen years, a famous Indian leader and wealthy
land owner of Carroll County was to play a major role in the Creek
Removal. His name was William McIntosh. It was his signature on the
"Indian Springs" treaty that ceded 4,700,000 acres of Georgian land and
assured the Whites that the Creek would move west of the Mississippi.
This very unpopular treaty was signed in 1825, against the will of the
majority of the Creek leaders. Its results were legal grounds for their
removal and the end of life for Chief William McIntosh. Shortly after
he was murdered at his Carroll County home by the angry Upper Creek.
Several more treaties were signed within the next few years, most against
the will of the Upper Creek, tnus

decade before all the Creeks were removed.
The more acclimated Indians of upper Georgia, the Cherokee, also
fell to the same fate as their less-civilized brothers to the south.
The problem was the same — they possessed wanted lands. In 1828 gold
was discovered on Cherokee land in Georgia, thus causing mass migration
by the White Man into their lands. In 1831, the Cherokee tried a more
civilized means of justice by taking their plight before the U. S.
Supreme Court. They lost. The Cherokee people, being firmly established
in Georgia, were slow to give up their lands, but on the 29th of December
1835, some of their leaders made a treaty with the U. S. Government. For
a large sum of money and a promise of land west of the Mississippi, they
sold their rights to all land, east of the Mississippi. They were given

until the 23rd of May I838 to move. In that year, the remaining
Cherokee were rounded up in northern Georgia and marched off to the
Oklahoma territory. Many of their people died on the way. The rest had
to fight for land" to live on with the tribes already established there.
It is a sad time in their history, as well as ours, and today is known
as the "Trail of Tears 11
Pertinent genealogical evidence can be found about the Georgians'
part in the exclusion of the Indians from their soil. Two important
types of documents are available today. The first, Bounty Land and,
Headlight Grants, were given to White settlers shortly after the
Revolutionary War, and up to the final removal of the Indians from
Georgia. They were granted by the State to citizens wishing new land.
Not all grants were based on military service. Some were granted in
lotteries directly after new land was obtained from the Indians. This
article will not deal with what areas of Georgia were sectioned off and

tion patters and parent counties of many of your ancestors,
years of these lotteries were 1805, 180?, 1820, 1821, 1827,
All were results of huge Indian Secessions.
The second document of value that pertains to the Indian removal
is. the military records held in the National Archives. These records
are broken down into three types: Military, Bounty Land Applications
(Federal), and Pension Records, They can be obtained from the National
Archives by sending in Form NAIF 26 with the requested money and
information. The minimal amount is five dollars and the information
requested is name, state from which served, war in which served, unit
in which served, branch of military, kind of service, date and place of
birth and death, and places lived after service. Not all of this
information is required in order for them to process your request. It
is wise to ask for a total cost estimate of the entire military files
somewhere at the top of the form. This will give you an idea of what
else exists in your ancestors* files that you may want to send for later

on them is the same as the "Indian Wars Pension Index." Both have been
microfilmed and their film numbers are listed at the end of this article.
The actual pension records are available only by sending NATF Form
26 to the National Archives. Information on these documents include
such things as the personal account of war experiences, company, rank,
duty, dates served, companions with whom served, depositions from
friends and neighbors confirming service or reliability of character,
age and physical description at time of enlistment, residence(s).since
the war, date and place of marriage, names and birth dates of children,
and other pertinent genealogical inforrnation. Samples of actual pension

Bounty Land Grant Applications are

a very important source and should be requested if your Indian War
ancestors lived past that year. However, they are not available at the
Genealogical Library. These applications contain much of the same
information found in the pension applications of 1892-1926. The only
way to find out if he applied is to request a search on NATF Form 26.
Also, if he applied for bounty land, it will often be listed in the
pension application. These bounty land applications are very important
simply because the majority of the soldiers of the Creek and Cherokee
Disturbances were long dead by 1892 when the pensions were started, but
most were alive in the 1850-80 Bounty, Land period.
You may be asking yourself the necessity of checking these records
for your ancestors. The importance is that the people who were involved
in these wars were usually born too late for the. War of 1812 and too
early to have served in the Civil War, thus leaving no major federal
records to check other than the census listings. These ancestors lived
in places where historical and genealogical documentation by state
governments were limited. Many of the records of marriages, birth dates,
and places found on pension applications are the only ones in existence
today. Also, the people of the western Georgia borders were the people
directly involved in the Indian disturbances. The chances are that your
ancestors were part of this historic epic. You should check for yourself

QUERIES
I am researching the William F. HANSON line. He was "born in Carroll
County, Ga., on 3 Jan 1869* His brothers were Bose, b. Oct 1871? Quill?
Reuben, b. 1875? John B.j Bob or Robert? and possibly Lemuel, and one
other. There was at least one sister born about 1874. Wm. F. HANSON
married Sallie Mae WILLIAMS, the daughter of Jaspar WILLIAMS and Rachael
CARR, in Newnan, Coweta Co., Ga., JO Oct 1894. They had six children:
William F.. Jr., Evielou Rachel, Andrew Jackson, Dollie Mae, John Newton,
and Claude David. Bose HANSON had at least two children, Estelle and
Ray(?)? and Bob had at least two children, Marie and George Washington.
I am most especially interested in locating the parents of William F.
HANSON. His family moved to Douglasville, Ga., somewhere around 1903.
Sallie Mae WILLIAMS was born either in Douglas County or possibly
Carroll County. She had a brother William F. WILLIAMS, b. 29 Dec I860.
.. Mrs. Terry W. Asche, R.D. #1, Box 329, Washington Boro, PA 17582.
I would like to contact any interested descendant of George M. and

In the Carroll County Cemetery Book, page 6l, Davis Cemetery, I find
E. S. (Enoch) DAVIS and Sarah P. WALKER DAVIS. I would like very much
to correspond with Donald DUNCAN or any ancestor of this couple. My

Co., Ga,, had a daughter, Sarah P., who married Enos S. DAVIS. I also

age 30» and wife Nancy are listed in the 1850 Carroll County Census.
Is J. M« WALKER the brother of Sarah P0 and son of Moses? Is his wife
Nancy YEAGER? I have information on Moses P. WALKER, 1820 thru I865,

If you have any additions to or corrections of the information in the
Carroll County Cemeteries book, we ask that you inform the Carroll
County Genealogical Society, P. 0. Box 576, Carrollton, Georgia 3011?.
We would like these additions and corrections as soon as possible.
If the pedigree charts we receive for publication cover more information
than #31, we publish them as shown on the following pages, all having
more than the five generations. There have been questions as to how to
read these charts. The numbers refer to the small numbers printed on
any pedigree chart. Double the number of a person and you get their
father. Divide an even number in half and you get the name of their
child.
