 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. 
 
 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
 
 2 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: 
 
 i. James 2 . 
 
 ii. Mary, b. about 1757; m. David Phillips, 
 iii. John, b. about 1759; m. Mary Easton. 
 iv. William, b. Jan. 7, 1765; m. Nancy Easton. 
 
 v. Llcy, b. ; m. Goodall. 
 
 vi. Mildred, b. ; m. Thomas Phillips. 
 
 vii. Susannah, b. Oct., 1769; m. Benjamin Goss. 
 viii. Elizabeth, b. about 1780; m. James Hitchcock.

 SECOND GENERATION. 
 
 JAMES 2 DAVIS (1) being the first named in the will of his 
 father, is supposed to have been first born. We have not been 
 able to procure a copy of the family record of Jonathan Davis 
 nor any account of the family and descendants of James Davis.

 MARY 2 DAVIS (1) was born in Va. and married David 
 Phillips in her native State. They moved to the State of Ga., 
 about 1803, and settled in Wilkes Co. Mrs. Miles J. Green, of 
 Clanton, Chilton Co., Ala., writes Jan. 27, 1902: "I have often 
 heard my mother say, that my grandparents, David and Mary 
 Phillips, had sixteen children." We have an account of eleven.

 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 1 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. We 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 awakened 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 went 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, Air. 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 
 lie 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, lie 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 bis 
 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. 7 
 
 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-

 (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

 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. 13 
 
 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,

 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" 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
 
 1 6 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 Masters 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
 
 1 8 Genealogy of 
 
 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

 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
 
 20 Genealogy ol 
 
 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 souh 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
 
 The Davis Family. 21 
 
 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. Hillver. 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 
 Co., Ga., and married Louisa Edith Hudson, July 31, 1823. 
 Miss Hudson was born Jan. 17, 1803, in Elbert Co., Ga. Mr. 
 and Mrs. Davis were members of the Baptist Church and he was 
 a minister of that denomination. We find the following- sketch 
 of Rev. James 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 ordained. 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,' Mr. 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
 
 24 Genealogy of 
 
 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
 
 The Davis Family. 25 
 
 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 service. 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 triumnh 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 preaching. No 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 every name 
 and highly respected by all classes of the community."

 ANDREW JACKSON 3 HITCHCOCK (9) was born Feb. 
 21, 1 81 3, 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.

 married Lewis L. Chiles June 6, 1842. Mr. Chiles was a man of 
 great energy, coupled with fine judgment. He was a native of 
 Va., left an orphan at an early age and leaving his relatives 
 when he was about eighteen he became permanently separated 
 from them and never knew much of them. He abandoned his 
 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
 
 30 Genealogy of 
 
 his musket with that devoted band of patriots under Gen. Hous- 
 ton to repel the invasion of the Mexican army. He was at the 
 battle of San Jacinto and thus helped to win Texas independence 
 and render glorious for all time the name of Texas and Texan 
 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, 
 held this position until he died May 29, 1864. Emily Hitchcock 
 Chiles, his wife, was one of the pioneer women of Burleson Co. 
 Under the preaching of that eminent pioneer minister of Tex., 
 Rev. William Tryon, she was converted and baptized in girlhood. 
 This same Rev. William Tryon performed the marriage cere- 
 mony when she and Lewis Chiles were married. She lived a 
 consistent Christian life until her death June 9, 1877. She had 
 been reared under the old regime in Tex. and learned to keep 
 open house in the style of early days. Children :

 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. 45 
 
 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 
 service 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 and 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 the list 
 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 lie 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 neriod. 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 
 Seminary, 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 
 houses and always securing the attention of his hearers."

 FREDONIA ZIPPORA 4 DAVIS (23) was born Jan. 17, 
 1836, in Crawfordville, Telfair Co., Ga., was educated at New-

 a Confederate soldier, Jan. 11, 1866. Lieutenant Jackson was

 His business was farming. He and his wife were members of 
 the Baptist Church and he was a deacon of his church for sixteen 
 years. Mrs. Jackson writes: 
 
 "I was married in the same house, one sister, Mrs. Lizzie Reese, and all 
 three of my daughters. 
 
 "Fredonia Z. Davis Jackson was born in the little town of Crawford- 
 ville, afterward becoming famous in history as being the home of (Liberty 
 Hall) Hon. A. H. Stephens, the great statesman. She never saw Mr.

 .Mr. and Mrs. Davis were members of the Baptist Church and 
 he was a minister of the same. They resided at Hephzibah, Rich- 
 mond Co., Ga. Mrs. Davis died in Washington City, D. C, Nov. 
 25, 1895. R ev. 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 n o'clock last night, of apoplexy. This very sad occurrence 
 casts a gloom over a happy household and quiet community, and calls 
 f'.r the fullest -ympathy 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 Family. 5:$ 
 
 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. 18, 1826, 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 ot 
 classical education, a citizen of untarnished reputation, a teacher ot rare 
 ability, a Christian of most exemplary deportment, a pastor faithful to his 
 obligations, a minister of the gospel surpassed in pulpit power by tew, it 
 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.

 Co., Ga., Oct. 28, 1831 ; received her early education at Colum-

 She married Robert Henry, son of Henry and Nancy King. 
 
 Mr. King was born in Troup Co., Ga., Dec. 9, 1823. He re- 
 ceived his education in the common schools, was a fine mathema- 
 tician and good scribe. They resided near Midway, Ala., until

 died Oct. 31, 1898. Mrs. Mary A. King, writing from Lees- 
 burg Sept. 11, 1903, says: 
 
 "Well do I remember my parents running from the Indians when they 
 were on the warpath, and crossing the Chattahoochee, at Columbus, Ga., 
 on a flat (ferry boat), there being no bridge there then, and looking back 
 and seeing the smoke ascending from the buildings to which the Indians 
 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."

 FOR/VIS 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?
