INTRODUCTION

Baldwin County was created by the Georgia Legislature in Acts of May 11, 1803, and June 26, 1806, from Creek Cessions of June 16, 1802, and November 14, 1805. The county was named in honor of Abraham Baldwin (1754 - 1807), a Signer of the United States Constitution from Georgia; a Congressman; a U. S. Senator, and Father of the University of Georgia.

Since it's creation, Baldwin County has given up land to the counties of Jasper, Jones, Morgan and Putnam; and has taken land from the counties of Hancock, Jones, Washington and Wilkinson. The county line of Baldwin has not changed since 1856. Milledgeville, the county site, was the capitol of Georgia from 1804 until 1868.

The newspaper, Southern Recorder, published the first edition on January 20, 1820. Seaton Grantland and R. M. Orme were the first editors of the new paper. This was the second large newspaper in Milledgeville and was in direct competition with the famous Georgia Journal, which had also been owned and edited by Seaton Grantland. The Southern Recorder was published until 1872, at which time it was absorber by the Union Recorder.

Since this paper was published in the State Capitol, it contains articles from across the state. Many of the counties had no paper at that early date and used the Milledgeville papers for publication of their legal business. There are articles in this volume from all counties existing in Georgia during the period covered.

The articles contained in this book consists of deaths, marriages, legal notices, sheriffs sales, elections, jury lists, unclaimed letters left in various post offices, and other information of value to genealogists.

The articles are arranged in chronological sequence starting with the first edition of January1836, and running though December 1838. There are no missing editions of the paper. A standard format was used for legal notices and sheriffs sales, so the wording in the articles may not be exactly as shown in the paper but has the same meaning. The abbreviation ADM. Adm. ADM. was used to denote Executor or Administrator of an estate; Admx. likewise means a female Executor or Administrator; Adms. means two or more Executors or Administrators, either male or female. The term "instant" means this month and "ultimo" means last month. Consort means wife and Belief means widow. Esquire (Esq.) usually means a person who is holding are has held public office. Some other abbreviations: C. C. O. Clerk of Court of Ordinary; C. I. C. Clerk of Inferior Court; D. Deputy.

KILLED.

Wilson H. Cay was killed near this place on Tuesday. He was thrown from his horse while returning from the race ground, and his skull so badly fractured that he died in a few hours.-Macon Messenger.

We have just been informed that Mrs. Francis Love, of this place, has received a letter from a gentleman from the West, giving her the afflicting intelligence of the death of her son, Hugh Love, formerly a resident of our city, but of late a merchant in the Indian Country beyond the Arkansas line. As far as we can gather the facts, it appears that he was traveling. When night came on, while preparing to kindle a fire, and in the act of striking fire with the flint and steel, a spark accidentally fell into a canister of powder, which probably was about his person. It exploded and tore off his arm and his shoulder. He is said to have survived this terrible and fatal accident for seven days, when in the Western wilderness, he resigned his life into the hands of his maker.--Columbus, Ga., Sentinel.

GEN. COFFEE'S DEATH.

(From the Augusta Chronicle)

In this morning's paper we publish an account of the death of Gen. Coffee, one of the candidates for Congress on the Union ticket, which was received in a slip from the office of the Georgia Journal on Saturday morning, through the hands of a gentleman of this city. It was reprinted by us, and forwarded to several of the adjoining counties on the day following. On Monday morning the Constitutionalist warned the Union men against being influenced by the intelligence, and stated that no news of the kind had been received at their office, although the Federal Union was received from Milledgeville on Sunday evening, two days after this slip reached us. We received the Federal Union also, on Sunday evening (dated the 4th instant, and received here on the 2d) and if, after being apprised of Gen. C's death, which we have every reason to believe he must have been, the editor of that paper neglected to inform his readers of the fact, he well deserves the reproof which he receives from the Editor of the Sentinel, in the following paragraph, which we copy from that paper of yesterday: "The Constitutionalist of yesterday morning, in remarking upon the reported death of Gen. coffee, attempts to cast reflections upon the Chronicle and Sentinel, for publishing extras on Saturday last, announcing that fact. Mr. Guieu admits that the package of extras was received from the Journal office by a respectable gentleman, and it was on the authority of one of these extras that we announced the fact. He asserts that the Federal Union received here on Saturday contains not a word on the subject of Gen. Coffee's death. Did Mr. Guieu look at the date of that paper? It is dated October 4th, although it must have been printed on Saturday the 1st instant, in order to have reached here on Sunday night!! Now, if the Editor of the Federal Union would falsify the date of his own paper, might he not deem it policy to suppress the truth, even if he knew it? The regular publication day of the Federal Union, we believe, is Tuesday; and our opinion is , that the Editor of that paper knew the fact of Gen. C's death, and yet published his paper three days before its proper time, saying not a word on the subject, for the purpose of leaving the impression that this report was not true, because it might affect the election. If we are mistaken, we shall be sorry for it; but the impression is so strong upon our mind, that we cannot help expressing it."

Note: The papers mentioned in above article are identified thus: Federal Union and Georgia Journal were both published at Milledgeville: the Constitutionalist and Chronicle and Sentinel were both published at Augusta.

Volume IV 1836 - 1838

FEDERAL UNION Milledgeville, Georgia, Tuesday, October 11, 1836

DIED.

At his residence in Telfair County, General John Coffee, a Representative from Georgia, in the Congress of the United States. He was a man of mild and affable temper, calm, deliberate, and prudent. In the decease of this virtuous man, the State has sustained a severe bereavement.

AUGUSTA CHRONICLE

Augusta, Georgia, Saturday, October 8, 1836

(From the Georgia Journal, September 29th)

DEATH OF GEN. COFFEE.

We learn by the arrival of a gentleman from Telfair County, Mr. Cray, that Gen. John Coffee died at his residence, on Sunday last. He was attacked but a few days previous to his decease, by the disease which has proved thus unfortunately fatal. The gentleman who brought the intelligence to this place, attended him in his last moments, and states the disease under which he sank, was inflammation of the brain. There cannot be any doubt of the authenticity of the information. We hasten to lay it before the community as much on account of the distinguished station he held as a Representative of the people of Georgia, as of the important bearing such an occurrence will have on the interest of that people at the pending election. The vacancy occurring so immediately previous, we presume will not be supplied. Both tickets now before the people consist only of eight candidates-nine to be elected.

Compilers note: The election mentioned ahout took place on Monday, October 3, 1836. Coffee was elected.

There was no one named Cray in 1830 or 1840 census of Telfair County. There were Craveys and many by the name of McRae. It was, perhaps, one of these that brought the news of Coffee's death to Milledgeville.

The two accounts of Gen. John Coffee's death, from Federal Union and Augusta Chronicle ahove, were the only accounts of his death that this compiler was ahle to locate.

MARRIED .

On Thursday evening, 29th ultimo, Mr. Samuel Bivins to Miss Nancy West, all of Sumter County.
