  • History of Jefferson County, GA Part 4
    CHAPTER II WAR BETWEEN THE STATES BY W. L. PHILLIPS A HISTORY of Jefferson County would hardly be complete without giving some data as to the part played by the county in that momentous struggle, the War Between the States, but strange to say no one has ever given us any local information as to Jefferson's part in that most ferocious war of all history, and its stirring scenes are now so far back in the past that it is almost impossible to get firsthand information regarding it. Even those who have reached the days allotted by the Psalmist, three score and ten, were then too young to recall now what transpired in the sixties. More than half a century shields those awful days from the glare of real truth, and softens the memories that brood over them. But never in the history of all time will the world know or see again such a terrific struggle as that of the sixties. Georgia, as a State, stood most prominent in the stirring debates and public utterances of the years just preceding this great con- flict, because some of the most prominent and able men of that day were largely Georgians. The question of secession became a burning one and the most (101) Picture taken in 1863 of Jefferson County soldiers who were at home on sick leave.

In 1772, he arrived in Savannah to study law. He fought for Georgia during the Revolutionary War, after which he became a member of the Georgia legislature. A member of the U.S. Senate since 1793, he left this position after the Yazoo fraud of 1795 and returned to Georgia's state legislature and organized an anti-Yazoo campaign.

  • Patrolling the Border: Theft and Violence on the Creek
    PATROLLING THE BORDER: THEFT AND VIOLENCE ON THE CREEK-GEORGIA FRONTIER, 1770-1796 by JOSHUA SPANN HAYNES Under the Direction of Claudio Saunt ABSTRACT At a critical moment in the late eighteenth century, Muskogee Creek Indians faced the prospect of dispensing with their indigenous form of government based on the political autonomy of each Creek town. Ultimately, however, they chose to retain their indigenous government in altered form. Georgia continually encroached on Creek borders forcing Muskogees into a conversation about the nature of political leadership that hinged on what kind of government could best protect Muskogee liberty, territory, and sovereignty. Some favored a powerful central government, but most preferred the autonomy of every Creek town, or talwa. Under assault from multiple quarters, Creeks experimented with state-like political solutions such as the diplomacy of elite headmen and skilled figurehead executives. Most importantly, Creek warriors launched over a thousand raids along their contested border, actions best understood as robust border patrol. Such innovations drew on indigenous political ideals, and, for a time, effectively stalled American expansion. Neither Creek nor Georgia leaders, however, exercised state control over their people and their territory. White Georgians exaggerated the ferocity of Creek raids and crafted a political narrative they used to justify their own violence and land taking. When Creeks and Georgians raided each other’s communities, they challenged higher political authorities,

  • Mental Picture of Remote Ancestors in Their Joy,S and Sorrows, Their
    • ; mental picture of remote ancestors in their joy,s and sorrows, their business dealings, traits of character, and personal appearance, as rev ,ealed by county records, inscriptions from their tombs, the old family Bible, old letters, old pictures and tradition handed down from generation to generation? It almost staggers us to think of the priceless genealogical ma­ terial scattered over ·Georgia. There is hardly a family that could not contribute a Bible record, an old letter or diary to this cause. Our court houses are mines of information. Romance, tragedy, the sublime and the ridiculou -s co~bine to make thiese records of gripping interest. Between the lines of a man's will his character is revealed. Lawsuits and court reco:r,ds show the character of his dealings with his f,ellow man. If he is indicted for biting off the ear of another fellow, we infer he was an enemy to be dreaded, but we laugh. If he gives his wife a generous living as long as she is his widow and conducts herself "in a becoming manner," we are sure he was indeed head of the house, and the woman played sec­ ond fiddle, if any at all. The object of the National •Committee for Genealogical Research is to collect and bind all available material, to be placed in Consti­ tutional Hall Library, for the use of the Register General in prov­ ing our claims to eligibility, for the members of our Society, and the general .public . It is the ambition of the Society to •build up the ,greatest reference library of genealogical material in America, if not in the world.

  • The Orphan Strip Community
    THE ORPHAN STRIP COMMUNITY: CRUCIBLE OF CULTURAL CHANGE Electronic Draft By Linda Hoxit Raxter © by Linda Hoxit Raxter, 2002, 2010 Individuals are allowed to print one copy for personal use only. Publically owned libraries may print copies for circulation and archives. No other copying or publication permitted electronic or otherwise. This electronic document is available at PastPathways.com Draft Edition???? When my daughter was a toddler and I was a stay at home Mom I became engaged in the genealogy and history of Transylvania County and surrounding areas, especially area cemeteries. Eventually this research led to a particular interest in the “Walton War” of local history. I soon realized this subject needed far more than the amateur research myself and others had completed. So it was back to school for a Master of Arts degree in American History with concentrations in Cherokee Studies and Local History. What follows is an updated version of my Master’s Thesis. From the beginning the plan was to publish this work so it would be available to the many family members descended from what has become known as the Orphan Strip Community. However graduation was followed by the reality of needing a pay check. What followed was a series of full time and part time work including 4 ½ years as an Adjunct Instructor teaching United States history that I would not trade for anything. But I have had to cut back my activities due to medical reasons. Overall, the overwhelming time and energy it takes to prepare a manuscript for publication simply has not been there.
