| 2 | “A Reminiscence of the Olden Time. In the early settlement of that portion of Geor- gia, situated between the Broad and Savannah River the inhabitants suffered much from the In- dians. The murderous tomahawk spared neither men, women, or children. In 17—, there lived upon the banks of Coody's Creek, in the flat woods, in what is now called Elbert County, Mr. Richard Tyner, a poor, though respectable man. During his absence one day a party of savages attacked his house. They immediately killed Mrs. Tyner. They then seized the youngest child, and dashed out its brains against a tree. Another child they scalped, and left it for dead. A little boy, the son of Mr. Tyner, named Noah, amidst the confusion escaped the notice of the Indians, and crept into a hollow tree, which for many years afterwards was known by the name of Noah's Ark. An el- der son of Mr. Tyner fled to the Savannah River, and was pursued by some of the Indians but he effected his escape. Mary and Tamar the daugh- ters of Mr. Tyner the Indians carried off to the Coweta Towns. There they remained for several years, when an Indian trader named, I think, John Manack, purchased Mary, who returned with him to the county of Elbert, and became his wife. When he returned to the Indian Na- tion he offered to purchase Tamar, but the Indi- ans refused to sell her. The main employment of Tamar was to bring wood. Upon a certain occasion, an old Indian woman informed her, that her captors, suspecting that she was trying to es- cape, had resolved to burn her alive. The feel- ings of the poor girl, can be better imagined than described. She determined at all risks to escape. The Indian woman supplied her with provisions, and a canoe, accompanied with directions how to proceed down the Chattahoochee river. Bid- ding adieu to her benefactress, Tamar launched her canoe, and commenced her perilous voyage. During the day she secreted herself amidst the thick swamps of the river, and at night pursued her course. She finally reached Appalachicola Bay, embarked on board of a vessel, and arrived in Savannah. By the assistance of some of the citizens, she was enabled to reach her home in Elbert, where she afterwards married a Mr. Hunt. Her descendants are still living, who will vouch for the truth of this story.—Sav. Courier.” | Tyner, Tamer (I2073)

| 11 | “Mr. Washington Welch Dead. Another of Henry County’s oldest and best citizens has succumbed to the iron tooth of time and has been laid to rest beside the departed fathers. Washington Welch in the 91st year of his age, after long months of physi- cal agony, departed this life at his home in Sandy Ridge District last Mon- day, surrounded by sorrowing relatives and friends. On Tuesday afternoon his remains were laid to rest at New Hope burying ground, after appropriate funeral ser- vices. His death was not unexpected, he having been the subject of that dis- tressing affliction, cancer, from the r avages of which he died after having passed far beyond the allotted time fixed as the usual limit of human ex- istence. He was a model husband, an indul- gent father, faithful friend, true neigh- bor, and good citizen. For over a half a century he was a consistent member of the Baptist church, and died strong in the faith. His was not a death. It was simply the laying aside of the earth-worn cas- ket for the robes of immortality. An aged wife and several grown sons and daughters survive him. To them we would say, emulate his virtues and though you sorrow here, beyond the vale of the Great Source of love and contentment shall wipe away all tears.” | Welch, George Washington (I1268)

Besides the children she leaves thir- teen grandchildren and two brothers, her husband having passed on about two years ago. Mrs. Griste and husband came to Kansas in 1870 and located on a farm in the Prairie Garden neighborhood, where they continued to reside until 1901, when they moved to Belle Plaine which has since been her home with the exception of a few months' resi- dence in Wichita.

| 21 | “Mrs. Sarah DuPree was born in Wayne co., N.C., Dec. 24th, 1799 and died, in Russell co., Ala., March 25th, 1857. She was awakened and joined the M. E. Church of Houston co., Ga., in 1833, under the ministry of Rev. S Dunwoody. Sister DuPree was a faith- ful Christian. She loved God and loved his people. While living she was a witness to the truth and divinity of the Christian religion. Her health had been bad for some time, but the immediate cause of her death was apoplexy. Consequently she was not permitted in her last moments to testify to the grace of God; but had often said that she was ready for the change. She has left behind an aged husband, and several children, all in the church; and one of her sons is a member of the Alabama Conference. Thus, after witnessing the salvation of God, this good woman has fallen sleep in Jesus. J. C. Stricklin.” | Pettis, Sarah (I2678)

| 22 | “Mrs. T. R. Sorrells died at her home six miles north of Chelsea Tuesday morn- ing April 23, 1901, of heart failure. She was about 52 years of age. That morn- ing their home caught fire and she feared that it would be entirely consumed, and she began removing the furniture as rapidly as possible. Some of the child- ren succeeded in extinguishing the flames and when they had accomplished this they found Mrs. Sorrels laying in the yard. She was immediately removed to the house and Dr. Pifer was summoned at once, but before he arrived she was beyond medical assistance. Her sudden death is attributed to her extreme excitement and fright, causing heart fail- ure. It is sad indeed to be parted so sud- denly from one who is so dear, and their many friends deeply sympathize with the family in this their irreparable loss. The remains were laid to rest in the Chelsea Cemetery Wednesday afternoon, the burial ceremonies being conducted by Rev. R. C. Parks.” | Thompson, Louisa (I1091)

Upper Norfolk was renamed Nansemond and is now extinct. | Knott, James (I2515)
|
| 24 | 1550 acres Upper County of New Norfolk. This appears to be a repatent of the original 1200 acres plus 100 acres purchased from Maudlin Jones for her personal adventure and transporting the same people as before plus 3 additional. Likely renewed because the county was divided that year. | Knott, James (I2515)

| 31 | A phone call to the Henniger-Allen Funeral Home on 10 December 2014, revealed the only other information in the record was “interment at Rosemound,” the only cemetery by that name found in Oklahoma is in Grant County, whose records are housed at the Medford Library; no record of a Folger burial in the cemetery, per Charlene at the library. | Folger, Nellie (I1695)
|
| 32 | A search of marriage records in Texas, Nevada and nationwide did not find any record for the marriage of John & Vivian. I believe they were married very close to the time of his divorce from Marge. | Family (F64)
|
| 33 | A.J.'s death date of 23 January 1923 on his headstone is incorrect. The death certificate states that he died 15 September 1922 of influenza. He was attended by Dr. Dawkins and the certificate was filed in October 1922. | Dykes, Angus J. (I358)
|
| 34 | Abigail was appointed administrator of his estate. | Ellis, James (I3108)
|
| 35 | Addie is 2 years old in the 1860 census and 13 years old in the 1870. Her headstone is difficult to read, and is mis-transcribed on the Find A Grave website. | Ferkins, Mary Adaline (I1701)

|
| 38 | Alfred served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He served in the National Guard from 1946–1962 | Mixon, Alfred Thomas (I2993)
|
| 39 | Alfred was likely born very near 2 February 1837. He was paid his inheritance from his grandfather on 2 February 1858 indicating he had come to the legal age of 21. | Adams, Alfred H. (I2084)

| 43 | Although her headstone and death certificate shows a birth year of 1850, she was listed in the 1850 census as a 1 year old, so she was likely born in 1849. | Yearwood, Sandal Narcissa (I1591)
|
| 44 | Andrew Yearwood enlisted in Capt. Benjamin Cleveland's Co., Volunteer Infantry, 1 Reg't. (Harris') Georgia Militia. He served 1 month and 8 days and furnished a substitute.

He was in Pendleton Dist. in the 1800 census. | Yearwood, Andrew (I2790)
|
| 45 | Andrew's birth year fluctuates in records created during his lifetime. His parental family has not been located on the 1880 census. They did show up in the 1885 Florida census where he is 6 years old. He is listed as born between sisters Angeline (1876) and Rebecca (February 1885). When he completed his SS-5 application for a social security number in December 1939, he listed has birth year as 1873, possibly to be closer to an age to receive benefits. His father listed all the childrens ages in his October 1897 pension application and Andrew was 14 years old. The 1900 census listed his birth as December 1880 and most census records calculate to a birth year of 1879–1882. He was likely born December 1882. | Anderson, Andrew Jackson (I561)
