For the "Rural Times".       Died February 12th at 9 o’clock p.m. at the residence of J.B. Bryan, her son, Mrs. E. S. Bryan, aged 78 years.       The subject of this memoriam was born in North Carolina and moved to Georgia at an early date, and from there to Bienville Parish, La., where she has been all the while doing all she could in behalf of Christ. She has been a member of the M. E. Church for may years. She was kind and lenient to all; did all she could both by words and actions, for those whom she thought loved Jesus. She was confined in bed nine weeks, during which time she had all the attention and all that human hands and hearts could contribute. She loved God and all his people and had unlimited faith in Jesus. She suffered very much at times, while at others was easy. She had been in delicate health for several years, but by the kind care of her family, she survived until the 12th of February 1877, when the lamp of existence went out. On the following morning we saw the cold form as it lay in the arms of death, a large family and a large circle of friends to morn her loss. She was buried at the Bryan grave yard at Liberty Chapel Church, were, after the burial services, we heard the heavy sound of sod die out as though at a distance, and the sobs of the family and friends as they gave her a fare well adieu.       She is gone, gone! Gone to that fairer and better land where there is not more sickness, sorrow nor pain. <signed> Roger Lawson" -------------------------------- FEB., 1877, Note, Source: Ragan Pruitt -       OBITUARY FROM CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE NEW ORLEANS, LA.       MOTHER ELIZABETH SPAN REGAN died at the residence of her son, Joseph Bryan in Bienville Parish, La., on the twelfth of February 1877. Mother Bryan, the daughter of Joseph and Doratha Regan, was born near Lumberton, Robinson County, N. C., October 29, 1874. She was converted in early life, and attached herself to the Methodist Church; was married to Joseph Regan November 11, 1814, moved to Gregg County, Ga. where she was left a widow with to sons; Sept 11, 1821, she married Redric Bryan, who also had two sons. From Houston County, Ga., they moved to Louisiana and settled in Claiborn parish, where they lived happily and usefully together, aiding in the support of the gospel, the building up of society and sustaining camp meetings, until the twelfth of January, 1864, at which time she was again left a widow. She still considered it her duty to do what she could in the Master's kingdom, and though the field of her usefulness was chiefly confined to her own large family, she wielded an influence for good which will be felt through time, the extent of which eternity alone can reveal.       Her house was the preacher's house, where they always received an old fashioned Methodist welcome. Being the daughter of a Methodist preacher, she both reverenced and loved the men of God. It was a source of evident gratification that she once entertained Bishop Morris on one of his overland trips to Texas. During her last illness she requested her friends not to pray that her life might be prolonged, but that her end might be peaceful. Rarely has a family of children, themselves the heads of families, been blessed with the privilege of witnessing such a manifestation of the power of Christ to save.       Called together on the saddest occasion that ever congregates a family (to witness a mother's death,) they saw how perfectly the grace of God could enable the true believer to triumph over physical suffering, and received her godly admonitions and prayers of faith. For nine long weeks she seemed to exist in two worlds. Hope ever brightening, she was eager to depart and be with Christ. She called her children, one by one, and requested them to say they would meet her in heaven, and exhorted them not to make a promise, merely to gratify a dying mother, but to weigh well their words. Her mission on earth ended, the remainder of her days were spent in prayer and praise. ------------------------ Note, Source: Ragan Pruitt -       Tribute of Respect.       At a regular meeting of Liberty Chapel Grange [Farmers' organization] No. 111 P. of H. [The Patrons of Husbandry] held June 9th A.D. 1877 the following resolutions on the death of our worthy and esteemed sister Elizabeth S. Bryan were adopted.       Whereas our Heavenly Master has in his wisdom seen fit to remove from our midst, after a painful illness of nine weeks, (one of our Charter members) our esteemed and beloved sister, Elizabeth S. Bryan.       During the time that she was a member of Liberty Chapel Grange, her seat was never vacant at the Grange Hall unless detained by the infirmities of age. She took great interest in the principles of this order, but disease at last fastened its deadly grasp upon her vital frame. With calmness and strong faith in CHRIST she breathed her last, Feb. 12th, 1877 being 78 years, 3 months and 17 days of age.       Mother Bryan adorned her Christian profession, being an old fashion Methodist, raised by a Methodist preacher, she could be none other than a true exemplar of Christianity. She loved all the institutions of the church, and did all she could in her quiet way to advance the cause of Christ.       But Mother Bryan has gone, and is now enjoying the society of angels and spirits of the just. We will hear her voice no more on earth giving counsel and advice to old and young alike. And we mourn and sympathize with the bereaved relations and friends not as those who have no hope, for we know that our Mother will rise again at the last day.       Therefore,       Resolved, That in the death of Sister Bryan this Grange has lost a worthy and esteemed member; society a shining light, and her family a loss that cannot be replaced.       Resolved, That the members of this Grange wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.       Resolved, That these Resolutions be apread [read, recorded?] upon the Minutes of this Grange, and a copy be furnished the relatives of the deceased, and a copy to the Rural Times for publication.       Committee,       J.

By this community he will be sadly missed and the announcement of his death will send an anguish to the hearts of all who knew him. To his Christian Friends and Brethren, a light has gone out that will never (on this earth) glow again, a pillar is broken and crushed that will never be replaced. But we should be resigned to know and consider that Death is an instructive mentor as well as a mournful messenger; that the grave is the common lot of all, the great leveler of all distinctions. But at the same time we are taught, in one sense the good and great can never die for the memory of their virtues and bright example will live through all coming time into an immortality that blooms beyond the grave. The consolation of this thought should calm our sorrows and cause us to exclaim, in the language of a poet, "Why weep ye, then, for him who having run The bounds of man’s appointed years at last, Life’s blessing all enjoyed, life’s labors done, Serenely to his final rest has passed?" The object of this notice has long enjoyed the blessings of religion. For more than forty years he has been a strict and useful member of the Methodist church. Possessing all the attributes of a Christian Man, he was a kind and affectionate husband, and indulgent parent; out words his servants displayed their attachment to him in tears of anguish over his grave. For several months his health was bad, and he often spoke of death, but calmly, as if he would be ready to obey the summons when it pleased God to call him. Let this thought comfort her, the partner of his bosom, whose heart is now crushed and bleeding. Let her feel that it is good in the sight of God for this affliction to come on her, for by the power of Christ’s resurrection we joyfully anticipate the prospect of seeing that broken staff erect and that beautiful rod clothed with celestial grace and blossoming in undying life in the paradise of God.

Page 176. Albert Mus county posts. Page 176. Albert Moody was from a family that was important in the political life of neighboring Marion County, SC. Moody's marriage, however, had made him a substantial figure in Robeson as well. He married the daughter of High Sheriff Reuben King, who may have been the wealthiest man in the county. Following the assassination of King by the Lowerys in 1869, the High Sheriff's fortune was divided between the families of his two daughters, his only children [this does not match the 1850 Census], of which the Moodys received roughly half. The Moodys lived at the mineral water resort Red Springs... Page 108 - 109. To the most prominent and the best educated people in the county there was now, and for almost two decades had been, but one High Sheriff of Robeson; and he was the old gentleman, who on this chill January evening, now entered the living room of his plantation big house. A neighbor had dropped in for a visit. The two gentlemen relaxed before a comfortable fire and after a few moments King opened his newspaper to an account of a recent Baptist convention. But suddenly something made him look up from his paper: before him stood Henry Berry Lowry, who six weeks ago, almost to the hour, had walked out of the Lumberton jail. Lowery said that he had come for "his gold and silver." The old sheriff leaped from his chair and made a lunge for the armed Indian, whom he must have known was reputed to be the most expert gunman in the county. A bullet cut him down, mortally wounded ..... The Lowrys ransacked the plantation for valuables.

Moved from NC to TX. Name reference - tombstone has Ralph Regan Parker He moved from NC to Vicksburg, MS. to TX about 1850. He purchased a homestead of several hundred acres of land in Oak Grove community, TX known then as Woodland Hall. Ralph and his wife Sarah C. Hodge Parker and their children came to Houston County, TX in the late 1850's after they received a letter from their father, Francis, who had been in Houston County for a while. In Francis's letter he painted a lovely and highly desirable picture of the part of Texas where he lived. In fact, his letter motivated and enticed his father into selling his tree farm and turpentine business in North Carolina. It was a long journey by way of two covered wagons to TX. The Parkers encountered many hardships on this journey. Heavy rains caused swollen streams that hampered travel. After several months, the Parkers found themselves in Vicksburg, MS with worn out teams. The teams for the wagons were sold and traded for two slaves. Ralph and Sarah, their children and the slaves took passage on a boat to Galveston and then up the Trinity River to White Rock Shoals where Francis met them. They went to Oak Grove Community, then known as "Woodland Hall". Here in this new and strange land, the Ralph Parker family pitched their tent for weal or for woe. Each son purchased and homesteaded land in Houston County. The Parker Cemetery in Oak Grove community is five acres of land located just east of the original homestead of Ralph R. and Sarah C. Hodge Parker. They designated this land before he died for a cemetery when his son William W. was killed when a tree fell on him. Ralph R. was one of the first to be buried in this cemetery. Two sons, Frances H. Parker and John Nelson Parker went to serve in the Confederate Army. This left twins, Ralph Delaney and William W. to help their mother, Sarah C., with all the small children and their sister, Ann Baxley with her children, as her husband had also gone to war. On May 20, 1894, Sarah, her family, and close friends celebrated her 77th birthday. Every year since that time, descendants and other people who have relatives buried here have continued to celebrate Sarah's birthday. There has been a change made in the date.

Will of J.R. Hawthorne State of Alabama County of Wilcox In the name of God--AMEN I, Joseph R. Hawthorne, knowing that it is appointed unto all men once to die, and being old and weak of body, but of mind and memory perfectly sound, do make this my last will and testament. First of all I commit and commend my soul to God, who gave it, and my body to the dust from whence it was taken. In consideration of the fact that my two daughters Cassie E. Hawthorne and Laura W. Powell have remained with me, and done, as I believe, all in their power to protect and promote my interest and cheer, and comfort me in my declining years, I give and bequeath to my two said daughters Cassie E. Hawthorne and Laura W. Powell, my homestead, consisting of my residence and 80 acres of land. The said 80 acres of land consisting of the 40 acres of land on which my said residence and the buildings connected therewith are located, and the other 40, being the 40 acres lying immediately north of, and being adjoining to the first named 40, being the same 40 on which the Baptist Church is located, together with all my household furniture of every description, and my buggy or carriage I may have on hand at the time of my decease. To have, to hold to use; to control the said residence, furniture and lands as to them may seem best, so long a s they remain single and in the occupation of the same. But if either of them should marry, move off of or in any way abandon said premises the rights hereinbefore given shall be forfeited as to the one so marrying or leaving, and immediately vest in the one remaining, who shall exercise them exclusively and solely. But if both of them should marry, move off, or abandon the said premises then and in that event the said premises and effects shall be rented out for fifteen consecutive years from the date of my decease, and the annual proceeds thereof be annually and equally divided among my heirs. But unless for the causes hereinbefore enumerated my two said daughters are not to be disturbed in their possession, use and control of said premise s as long as they may live. But if both of my said two daughters should die, at the expiration of the aforesaid period of fifteen years, then the property both real and personal aforesaid should pass to my executors and be sold and the proceeds thereof be equally divided among m y heirs. But until that period of event my homestead shall remain and be kept in the family for the comfort of my children. I give to my daughter-in-law Hannah J. Hawthorne, widow of my son Joshua R. Hawthorne, for the use and comfort of herself and her children, the offspring of my said son, the house she now occupies and the lands hereinbefore described, with the garden and yard attached thereto, the privilege of taking from the timber on said lands firewood for home consumption, and for repairs for said premises, also the privilege of clearing around said residence four or five acres of said land, but no more. To have, to hold to use and control the same until the youngest of her said children, the offspring of the said Joshua R. Hawthorne, shall become fifteen year of age. But if before the period named shall have arrived, she remarries or moves off or abandons said premises, she forfeits all the rights hereinbefore bequeathed and the said premises shall at once pass to my said executors and be rented out, and the proceeds thereof, as fast as they accrue to be applied to my debts, if any, or be equally and annually divided among my heir s. If my daughter Annie E. Crinn should desire to build and live on the lands hereinbefore described, I give her the right to do so. She and her two said sisters, Cassie and Laura agreeing a s to the particular piece of said lands she shall locate on and the extent of her possession . I give her the use, possession and control of the same as long as she remains a widow and resides thereon. But if she should marry or abandon or move of said premises as she forfeits he r rights to the same unless she and her two said sisters Cassie and Laura should agree otherwise. But her two said sisters must pay her a fair value for any improvements she may put on said premises and interest on her money so invested. If either of my two daughters Emma Ramsey or Sarah Harris, should become widows, and desire to build and live on the lands hereinbefore described, I give them the right to do so, with the rights and privileges, and on the same conditions to do so, with the rights and privileges, and on the same conditions as are given and prescribed in the case of my daughter Annie Crinn. It is my desire that all my honest debts & property, other than that herein before named and bequeathed, shall be sold and the proceeds there of be applied to the payment of my honest debts. If the proceeds thereof does not pay them, then my executors will sell off my real estate what may be necessary for that purpose. After setting apart the property hereinbefore bequeathed to my daughter Cassie and Laura and paying off all of my honest debts, my executors will lay off my real estate into parcels as nearly equal as possible and my heirs draw for them. The lands given to my two said daughters are not to be included in parceling, but my two said daughters are entitled to and must have an equal share in the drawing. If my son, J. R. Hawthorne should desire to build and live on my hereinbefore described home stead lands, I give him the right to do on the same terms and conditions as in the case of Annie E. Crinn. In the case of any improvements being made on said lands and afterwards abandoned said improvements will be rented out by my executors, and the rents annually and equally divide d among my heirs. It is my will that my estate shall be administered outside of the Probate court, and that the costs of administration shall be equally divided among my heirs any and all other legitimate costs of winding up my estate, shall be so assessed and paid first. I nominate and appoint my daughters Cassie E. Hawthorne and Annie E. Crinn and my friend Joseph E. McWilliams as my executors, without bond and with full powers to execute the provisions of this my Last Will and Testament. J.R. Hawthorne. From History of Conecuh: p. 115- J. Richard Hawthorne is a native of Robinson County, North Carolina, where he was born March 8 th 1805. Five years later, his father removed with his family to Wilkinson County, Georgia. Here the family resided until 1817, when they removed to Conecuh County. The first place of permanent residence was near the home of the late Henry Stanley, now in the beautiful little village of Bellville. Here was pitched the family tent when Richard was a bright boy of twelve summers. At the time of the settlement of this locality it was known at the time of the settlement of this locality it was known as "The Ponds"--a name derived from the extensive lakes which lay to the east of the community. Highly gifted with native powers, mental and physical, Mr. Hawthorne's influence was felt as he advanced toward Hawthorne's influence was felt as he advanced toward the period of manhood's perfect mould. He was equal to the hardships incident to a frontier section, and from straitened circumstances he rose to the possession of considerable wealth. In 1837, Mr. Hawthorne was the nominee of his (the Democratic) party, against a very formidable opponent, Jeptha V. Perryman. And though he belonged to the minority party of the county, his popularity came well nigh securing for him the laurels of the contest. For when the ballots were counted he came within seven votes of victory. No man who has ever lived in Conecuh exerted a broader or more wholesome influence, than did J. Richard Hawthorne. His zeal in all matters relating to the public weal was proverbial. He occupied several positions of public trust before hisremoval to another section. In 1854 he removed to Pine Apple, Wilcox County. Here his influence was not inactive, and soon public appreciation summoned him to active usefulness. He was sent to represent the county in two terms of the legislature, and has been frequent ly called upon to acting matters requiring calm and dispassionate consideration. He has reared a large and respectable family, and accumulated considerable property. He still lives to wield a godly influence in the promotion of the general good. Generous, hospitable as a prince, warm-hearted and public spirited, and above all, a devout Christian gentleman, his usefulness is destined to be commensurate with his days. Pp. 104-105 ...Nullification struggle, it was destined to be followed within a few years, by a discussion , the excitement of which, if it did not equal the intensity of the former, it exceeded it i n general interest. This was the discussion of the great Bank question. A subject so important , and of such popular interest, touched all classes of persons alike. In the midst of the stern ness displayed by President Jackson, which unpoised the financial system of the whole country , producing a serious crash in 1837, Thomas H. Benton, Senator from Missouri, urged the adoption of a gold and silver currency, as the true remedy for the embarrassments of the times. This financial question drew the line of demarcation very broadly andclearly between the two existing dominant parties--the Whigs and Democrats--the former of whom opposed the measure suggested and advocated with so much power by M. Benton, while the latter, with heartiness, adopted them. The two parties became very pronounced in the enunciation of their respective views. This period witnessed the first political contest, upon clearly defined party issues, that was ever had in the county of Conecuh. True, divergent views had been held by her people prior to this time, and minor differences had been expressed in a feeble way; but now excitement ran high , and the respective parties rallied and drilled their forces for a hot contest at the ballot box. They selected their candidates for the Legislature the Democratic nominee being J.Richard Hawthorne, and that of the Whig Party being Jeptha V. Perryman. Because of his enthusiastic advocacy of hard money principles, Mr. Hawthorne won from his opponents the sobriquet of "The Benton Mint Drop Boy." After a thorough and exciting canvass of the county, the election resulted in the choice of Mr. Perrymen by just seven votes. This election, for a time put a quiet us upon the county, the Whigs being exhilarant over their victory, while the Democrats were encouraged to renew the contest, by the fact that they came so near of success. At this period o f the county's history, public attention was diverted to a more serious question than that which agitated the people at their homes--this was the outbreak of hostilities on the part of the Indians. The policy of the government of removing them from their old abodes, which was instituted in 1832, had met with resistance almost everywhere. Both along the Chattahoochee and i n Florida, there were hostile demonstrations. A call was made for troops, and in response, Captain Bell of Bellville, raised a company and went to Georgia. Of those who were members of that company, the names of none can be secured, except those of Absalom Autrey, Pinckney Straughn , and Madison Crosby. Conecuh did not become a separately organized county until January, 1818.Prior to this time i t was embraced within the limits of Monroe County, which then embraced an extensive tract of territory, extending from east to west, from the Chattahoochee to the Alabama. But after the organization of Conecuh into a county, it was bounded on the north by Monroe and Montgomery counties, on the west by Clarke and Mobile, on the east by Georgia, and on the south by Florida--then a Spanish province. Richard Warren became the first representative of the county in the Territorial Legislature, which met then at St. Stephens in Washington County. Ransom Dean (brother -in-law to Col. J.R. Hawthorne), was the first sheriff and by virtue of his office, was tax assessor and collector, as well. Joel Lee (father of Rev. David Lee), was the first justice of the peace appointed in History of Pine Apple, Wilcox County, Alabama, p. 79. The Hawthorne family was a true pioneer family in Pine Apple. In fact, the Reverend Kadar Hawthorne organized the Friendship Baptist Church in1825 and the nearby Fellowship Baptist Church in Mount Moriah in 1828. We believe, based on early observation, that Reverend Hawthorne don ated the land for the church and the cemetery across the road. A relative, Colonel J.R. Hawthor ne, donated land to former black slaves in 1869. It became known as the Arkedelphia Baptist Church. Kadar Hawthorne's son, Boardman, was ordained in the Friendship Baptist Church, and for may years served with distinction as pastor of the Brooklyn, New York, Baptist Church. The Hawthorne family was related to the Crum, Ramsey, McCreary and Stallworth families. They w ere prominent in their social, professional, and civic activities. Ada Sue Hawthorne and her niece Gladys, were belles of the 1900 01929 era. Ada Sue married Dr. J.O. Tucker, Pine Apple's beloved dentist for many years. This couple entertained the college crowd along with their older friends from Pine Apple, Greenville, Monroeville, and Camden for many years. "Miss" Ada Sue was widely traveled and her parties would rival those of the large cities. Dr . Tucker and Miss Ada Sue used extensive lighting on their beautiful grounds during the Christmas holidays. The young adults always caroled here each Christmas as they began their tradition of caroling the aged and the infirm of the town. Caroling to "Miss" Ada Sue and Dr. Tucker was an expression of joy and thanks for the generosity of this fine couple. "Miss" Ada Sue's brother, Walter, was a debonair visitor as was her nephew, Dr. Julian Hawthorne. Julian Hawthorne received his medical education both in the U.S. and abroad. He became a well-known obstetrician in Rye, New York, a Westchester suburb of New York City near Greenwich, Connecticut. A member of the exclusive Westchester Country Club as well as several yacht clubs of Long Island Sound, Julian never forgot his Pine Apple roots. He restored the Hawthorne mansion to its former glory, restocked it with perhaps the most beautiful antiques in that part of the state, and visited it often after his sister, Gladys Hawthorne Whitaker, made it her home. He loved to hunt and often brought his friends from the Rye area down to hunt where he hosted game dinners. Although a Roman Catholic, he contributed generously to the Friendship Baptist Church begun by one of his ancestors in 1825. The Hawthorne family in so many ways left their stamp on their beloved community. Hawthorne House, a beautiful southern antebellum mansion, was built by Colonel Joseph Richard Hawthorne in 1852. The house is constructed of heart pine and it rests on 56 foot long sills of hand hewn pine logs. The mansion's facade is graced by square columns, a lower portico and balcony of identical proportions and entrance ways using three large doors, on the first floor the doors are flanked by full size windows and adorned with a graceful fanlight which was imported from England. The lower floor plan consisted of a wide central hall dividing four large rooms; the parlor and dining room connected by broad sliding doors. Colonel Hawthorne owned large plantations in Conecuh and Wilcox counties. He was born in 1805 and died in 1889. He was married three times, his first two marriages were to the King sisters in Mobile, Alabama an d his third marriage was to Mrs. Herbert, a widow and guardian of her two grandsons, John Herbert and Rollin Kelly. The two boys lived at Hawthorne House during their childhood. Rollin die d at an early age. John Herbert left at17 years of age to attend West Point. When the War Between the States broke out, he left West Point to join the Confederate Army and became the South 's youngest General. He was killed at the battle of Franklin, Tennessee, at the age of 24. The house and property was out of the Hawthorne family for a number of years In 1935, Mrs. Gladys Hawthorne Whitaker and her brother, Dr. Julian Hawthorne, a noted New York physician, retrieved ownership of the property, restoring the house and grounds to their original beauty. Mrs. Marie Bankhead Owens, director of the State's Archives and History Departmen t requested that it be made a historic shrine in 1947. Mrs. Whitaker died on November 25, 198 0 and the house is now owned by Dr. and Mrs. Edward Childs of Mobile, Alabama. short biography of Joseph Richard Hawthorne (above) is included in the History of Conecuh (County, Alabama). His family settled first in Bellville where they pitched the family tent when Richard was twelve. He was the nominee of the Democratic Party in 1837, then the minority party. He came within seven votes of victory. In 1854 he moved to Pine Apple, Wilcox county . "Here his influence was not inactive and soon public appreciation summoned him to active usefulness. He was sent to represent the county in two terms of the Legislature..." Hawthorn e was such an advocate of hard money (gold and silver currency) he won from the opposition the nickname of "The Benton Mint Drop Boy." The fervent national debate continued. "He has reared a large and respectable family, and accumulated considerable property..." "Generous, hospitable as a prince, warm-hearted and public-spirited, and above all, a devout Christian gentleman, his usefulness is destined to be commensurate with his days." J. Richard Hawthorne was one of the largest landowners in Wilcox County before the War. This branch of the Hawthorne family originates in Berks Bray, England as did the New England Hawthornes, made famous because of their role in the Salem Witch Trials. The origins of the New England Hawthornes is related in The Hawthornes written by Vernon Loggins and published by Greenwood Press, New York, 1968. Records mention a Robert as one of the children of an ancestor of the New England branch. One might presume a relationship to the common ancestor who established the inn at the foot of Hawthorne Hill on the ancient road between London and Oxford . The sign of the inn known as the Woodman showed a green-coated forester, axeraised about t o chop into the trunk of a great gray oak. Nathaniel Hawthorne related the oral tradition o f the legend of recovered Roman treasure by the humble innkeeper and ancestor of these Hawthornes in "An Old Woman's Tale". Letter from: Richmond, Virginia, February 4, 1902 J. R. Hawthorne, Pineapple, Wilcox County, Alabama Dear Cousin Dick:- It is probable that the land you refer to belongs to the heirs of Nathaniel Hawthorne who die d near Orange Lake, Florida more than fifty years ago. Some of his family lived in the same vicinity until the beginning of the war. They went into the army and served in Texas. These facts I learned from the Hawthorne family now living at Hawthorne, Florida. They are very distant relatives of ours. Uncle Nathaniel and my father were in the U. S. service in 1817. They fought the Indians in Florida. I think Uncle Nathaniel was also in the army during the War of1 812. My father received a land warrant which i think my brother, General Hawthorne, located i n Texas and afterwards sold the claim. It may be that Uncle Nat's warrant was located also i n Texas and that the lands have never been sold. This is all the light that I can throw upon the problem. Do not think that I have ceased to be interested in my kinsfolk in Wilcox. It would be a great pleasure to me if you would write me occasionally about them. I am longing for an opportunity to make you a visit. Write me about Cousin Sue, your children, Cassie and Emma and Laura, and about Old Friendship Church. Some of the sweetest memories of my life cluster about the site on which it stands. Affectionately yours, J.B. Hawthorne. Owned famous Hawthorne home in Pine Apple AL built in 1852.

Obituary of Dr. Span Ragan             Dr. Span Ragan was born in North Carolina, April 1st, 1818, was converted and joined the M. E. Church, South, at Canyhead campground, in Lee county, in 1853; and died in Terrell county, Ga., Jan. 24th, 1875.       He never doubted his conversion. Naturally quiet and unobtrusive, he made no loud professions, but he lived right. He loved the Church, delighted in Sunday-school, and took a deep interest in all that pertained to the property of Zion. Among strangers, or in promiscuous companies, his words were few, and his manner retiring; but with his friends, he was sociable and pleasing. His conversation was always pure, and his life one of unswerving uprightness. In 1850, he was happily married to Miss Lieurany J. Speight, youngest daughter of Rev. Thos. Speight. In the relations of husband and father, he was faithful and true, and was, with his pious wife, eminently successful in training their children for God and the Church. When nigh unto death, he expressed a desire to live for the sake of his wife and children. He said home had been to him almost heaven on earth, but he was perfectly resigned to the will of God. His end was peace. He was long a faithful class-leader at Salem church. His death to us, is grievous loss- to him, great gain. J. R. Littlejohn       -------------------------- This obituary was found in the Bryan Family Bible, originally owned by Terrell Bryan, half brother to Span Ragan. Bill Ragan, a Span Ragan descendant, identified it as one published in the Dawson Journal on January 28, 1875.       Deaths - Dr. Span Ragan died at his home in this County on last Sunday morning, after lingering for several weeks from an attach of typhoid pneumonia. Truly can we say that a kind husband, an affectionate father, an exemplary Christian, and a useful citizen has 'gone to that bourne from whence not traveler returns.' ----------------------- A service monument was provided by the Veterans Administrations in 2002. On 12 Apr., 2003, after several months of planning, the Ragan-Speight Memorial Monument was dedicated by the descendants, along with the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Eugene Ragan Pruitt of Liburn, GA and William Ragan of Albany, GA were instrumental in making this family project a reality. ---------------------------------- Spelling of his name should be Span and not Spann.

Ragan.       Life has a pitiful tale to tell when sorrow enters a once happy household by the death of those who, as inmates of that home, gladdened a beautiful home-life with their sweet presence, but who today are quietly sleeping in their graves. Hardly had the dew moistened the new made grave of young Terrell Ragan when his devoted mother, Mrs. Julia L. Ragan, too, was called to die. This most estimable woman died at Bronwood on last Sunday, aged 52 years, relict of the late Dr. Spann Ragan. She bore here sufferings patiently, and with Christian resignation, she met the last enemy, death, triumphantly, feeling that she would have part in the first resurrection. Mrs. Ragan's example was such that life and light only grew brighter when she dispensed to those around her the attributes of her gentle and kindly nature, and her memory will be a rich legacy to those who knew her and loved her in this life. The cruel hand of disease still rests upon some of that once happy household and prayers are now ascending from many lips that God will in His mercy temper this prayers are now ascending from many lips that God will in His mercy temper this painful dispensation of His to His glory and the well being of the stricken ones." -------------------------------- Obituary, Source: Ragan Pruitt -       "Ragan - Mrs. Julia S.
