Notes for LOVICK BETTS:
Bettstown

Excerpts taken from The History of Auburn and Carl, by Myldred Flanigan Hutchins.

The Appalachee was a big river in the early 1800s, when land was easily obtained and roads were Indian trails or paths. Settlers knew it was necessary to be near water, and along Betts Creek, which runs into the Appalachee River, not far from Auburn and Carl was a community called Bettstown.

At least five families figure in the history of this settlement.

Traveling along Old Lawrenceville Road to where Betts Creek crosses, is near the area where a store and post office, two houses and a barn once stood, and about two hundred yards from the road was a mill. The store, two houses and barn disappeared in quicksand between 1881 and 1903. Mr. Jack Knight of Carl now owns this land.

Mr. Loy Etheridge of Winder tells of an experience that he had when he was seven or eight years old. This was about 1902 or 1903. He, Tom (his brother) and cousin Claude Etheridge went to Bettstown to 'look around.' The gable of one of the houses was still at ground level. He decided to crawl through the window in the gable and take a look. What he saw was the  'biggest snake I had ever seen! He got out of the old house as fast as he could.

Loy Etheridge knew his grandfather, Manley Etheridge, had worked at the mill before he went to the Civil War. Manley did not return from the war, but his wife continued to live on the farm and she raised her children there. Loy said that from his grandfather's place, he would have had to walk about a quarter mile through the woods to get to the mill. He remembers that the Maughon and Allgood families lived near his grandfather, and that they all farmed and exchanged work. He also remembers that Mr. Jesse Peppers of Auburn grew up in the Allgood family home.

When a settlement came into existence a store, a church, a school, and often a mill or gin would soon follow. The community churches were Old Corinth Methodist Church and Midway Methodist Church was not far distant. The Midway deeds date back to 1846, but Almon Chandler (whose name is almost synonymous with Midway Church) says he has always been told that the church was established in 1836. Mr. Chandler thinks that Old Corinth Church was destroyed by fire or storm and was never rebuilt.

There was a school which Mr. Manley Etheridge built across the road from his home. The building still stands and is now used as a corn crib or storage room. One of the teachers there was Judge Galuam T. Rakestraw (died in 1878), who was the brother of Mrs. Manley Etheridge.

 The problem of quicksand that was to devour Bettstown probably occurred over a period of years before the seriousness of the matter became evident. Efforts would certainly have been made to add additional supports to the foundations of the houses, although that would not have lasted for long. Eventually the buildings would have to be abandoned. Since the store, post office, and adjacent buildings were the ones affected, the center of commerce moved away from the community. With Auburn and Carl beginning to grow, and the railroad soon to be built, there was little incentive to rebuild in the immediate area of Bettstown. The community around Betts Creek simply disappeared in the quicksand.

Families of Bettstown

The Nathan Clark family came to Bettstown in the 1830s. Sarah Brown Clark was the wife of Nathan Clark and their second child, named Margaret 'Peggy', and was born in 1833. The Clarks had fifteen children, some of whom are buried in the Clark family cemetery. Information about the Clark family is found, in part, from Mrs. Beula Melton of Dacula, and the R. A. Etheridge family Bible.

The John Brown family also lived in the area. John and his wife are buried at the Clark family cemetery. Her marker is missing, but his still stands and is barely readable. John Brown was born in 1807 and died in 1873.

It is quite likely that John Brown was the Uncle of Mrs. Nathan Clark, since both of her parents were born in Ireland as was John Brown. Nathan Clark's daughter, Peggy, first married William Kircus, who died during the Civil War. She then married John Wages. Peggy told her grandchildren that her grandparents, Matthew and Peggy McGowen Brown, were born in Ireland. It appears likely that the Brown family accompanied the Clark family to Bettstown.

Loy Etheridge says that five Etheridge brothers came from South Carolina and settled on both sides of the Appalachee River. They were James, who never married, moved to Arkansas and later was killed at Gettysburg;

     Manley had six children;

William first married Caroline Willard and had one child. His second marriage was to Polly Hutchins;

Sampson married Nancy Bird Betts and had eleven children; Robert Jr. married Polly Bowen and had five children;

The father of these five brothers was Robert Etheridge of South Carolina. Robert Etheridge's brother, Shepherd Etheridge, was born in 1790, settled in the Ben Smith' s District. This area was part of Gwinnett County, but was lost to Barrow County in 1914. He was married three times and had fifteen children.

 It is likely that the Etheridges lived in and around Bettstown. Also likely is that William Kircus, who married Nathan Clark's daughter Peggy, lived in Bettstown, since he, his father and brothers were millwrights by trade and would have been needed at the mill.

Lovick 0. Betts was born in 1807. As the 1870 Census shows, he was a farmer with some 1,000 acres of land and personal property valued at $ 550. The 1880 Census showed him operating a grist mill and living in his house were his wife and two sons, Henry T., age 32, and Maty J., age 30. Lovick Betts also had a store and post office.

Mrs. Sabra Farr Etheridge's (Leonard) father was named for Lovick Betts, who was his great-uncle, and they also lived in Bettstown.

It is interesting that the work History of Auburn and Carl revealed so little about the Betts family, especially since Bettstown was named for them.

Other known descendents of the Betts family are Monroe Wise, who operates a funeral home in Winder, and James Tuggle of Dacula. The great grandmothers of both these men were daughters of Lovick Betts. Also, the marriage of Elizabeth C. Betts to James Young Stanley includes the Stanley family of Dacula as descendants.

In the City of Winder, Georgia, there is a Betts family

cemetery located at the former site of the Concord Methodist Church that states:

"Concord Methodist Cemetery

In 1836 Byrd Betts (known to be the son of Lovick Betts) Pioneer Steward of the Concord Methodist Church, later to become the First Methodist Church of Winder, gave ten acres of land for the church and cemetery."

Those known to be buried here:

Located on the same property, but directly in front of the Monroe Wise funeral home, is another historical marker stating, "The most historical site in Winder", which also lists the name of Byrd Betts as being instrumental in establishing a school at the site.

     Searching the Georgia Census records for the name Betts revealed:

During 1820 and 1830, Betts were found in Columbia, Irwin, Jackson, Jasper, and Walton counties.

Ira E. Betts   Jackson County 1840 & 1850
Jonathon Betts Jackson County 1840 & 1850
Jonathon Betts Walton County  1850
Lovick Betts   Jackson County      1840 Gwinnett County 1850
Rev. Redick Betts   Walton County  1840 Gwinnett County 1850
Zedick K. Betts          Gwinnett County 1840 Jackson County     1850



That the Betts family appeared in the Auburn area at a very early date, and then seemed to disappear within some eighty years is an interesting case. It is usual to find evidence of older Georgia families, such as land that remains in the family or remnants of their achievements. This was not the case for the Lovick Betts family. His last will and testament offers an explanation:

Know all men by these presence that Lovick Betts of the County of Gwinnett and the State of Georgia being of common health, and of sound and disposing mind and memory do make and publish this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former will be me at any time heretofore made.

And as to my worldly estate, and all property real, personal, or mixed, of which I shall die seized and possessed or to which I shall be entitled at the time of my decease, I devise, bequeath and dispose thereof in the manner following to wit:

First my will is that all my just debts and funeral expenses shall, by my executors hereinafter named, be paid out of my estate as soon after decease as shall by them be found convenient. I then give, devise and bequeath to my beloved wife, Polly Betts, all the property, both real and personal of which I shall die seized and possessed to have and to hold the same to her, for and during the term of her natural life, after giving my son George W. Betts one hundred dollars and my daughter Susan F. Betts one cow and calf, one bed sted and bed and bedding, one table and four chairs or its equivalent to hold the same to her use and benefit forever.

And it is further my will that as soon as convenient after the decease of my beloved wife, Polly Betts, that all my estate both real and personal, as mixed, of which she shall die seized and possessed, by my executors hereinafter named be sold and the same thereof be equally divided between and among my twelve children, to wit: Forrinda H. Davis, Elizabeth C. Stanley, Martha T. Skelton, Nancy B. Etheridge, Mary C. Farr, George W. Betts, Cynthia A. Rice, Henry T. Betts, William P. Betts, Amanda A. Thomas, Laura R. Moore, and Susan F. Betts.

And lastly I do nominate and appoint William P. Betts and Alfred A. Thomas to be the executors of this my last will and testament.

And it is further my will that William P. Betts and Alfred A. Thomas sell all my estate without letters of administrationship and it is my heart's desire and prayer that you do all in peace.

In testimony whereof, I Lovick Betts have to this my last will and testament subscribed my name and affixed my seal this 16 July One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy-five.

10.  ELIZABETH CAROLINE9 BETTS (MARY8 CLACK, CATHERINE7 SMITH, SARAH REBECCA6 LINDLEY, JAMES5, THOMAS4, JAMES3, JAMES2, JOHN1) was born July 23, 1832 in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and died January 26, 1912 in Gwinnett County, Georgia.  She married JAMES YOUNG STANLEY 1847 in Gwinnett County, Georgia, son of JAMES STANLEY and ELIZABETH CONINE.  He was born November 1823 in Gwinnett County, Georgia, and died 1913 in Gwinnett County, Georgia.

Notes for JAMES YOUNG STANLEY:
James Young Stanley was born in November 1823 at the home of his father, James Stanley. He lived his entire life in Dacula, Georgia, and died in 1913. He is buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Dacula.  His date of birth is verified in the listing of 34th Senatorial District Georgia Militia, Enrollment of Present Militia Company, District #407, (Town District) Gwinnett County, Georgia, as required by the Act of December 14, 1863.  It lists James Y. Stanley, Farmer, age 40 years 1 month. ( The Heritage, published by the Gwinnett Historical Society, March 1999)

     The story is that one day he drove a horse and buggy through Bettstown, near Carl, and saw a beautiful girl milking a cow. He declared then that he wanted that girl for his wife. In 184 6 James Y. Stanley married Elizabeth Caroline Betts, who was then fourteen years old. Caroline was the daughter of Lovick (1807-1880) and Mary (1813-1895) Betts. It is now known that Mary Betts was formerly a Clack. Their burial place at Midway Methodist Church outside Auburn, Georgia.

The story of Bettstown and the Betts family follows this chapter

     It is known that he (James Y. Stanley) built a house near his father on now Stanley Road, just west of Dacula, GA. where he raised his family of seven girls and two boys.

     The home was built on a forty-acre tract his father bought from John Conine in 1856. Those forty acres was situated on the eastern side of land lot 270 in the Fifth District. The property remained in the family until the death of his daughter, Betty, in 1951. The rest of his land holdings were sold and the proceeds divided among his heirs. Sometime about 1952 the house was destroyed by fire. The records of 1913 indicate that daughters Mary and Betty were the last of the family in possession of the home place.

     At his father's death James Y. Stanley came into possession of one hundred acres which was left in life estate to his mother, Elizabeth. The forty-acre tract where his house stood was part of that one hundred acres in land lot 270.

     Land deeds at the Gwinnett County courthouse showed that in 1876 the year Elizabeth died - James Y. Stanley became the rightful owner of that property. Also in that year he purchased one and one-half acres from Russell Whaley in land lot 269 to the south of his own property. Then he purchased one hundred fifty acres from John Loveless in land lot 243. Lot 243 borders on the West Side of Lot 270. A 128 acres tract known as the Hogan Place divided his property.

The first record of ownership of the Hogan Place was an 1850 record wherein John Richardson sold it to Alfred Baggett. The next record shows Wiley Hogan borrowing against it from the Georgia Loan and Trust Bank in 1887. Dr. Sam Freeman bought that tract from Wiley Hogan in 1892. Then in 1895 Robert Stanley purchased it. This transaction brought all of Land Lot 270 and one-half of Land Lot 243 into the Stanley family.

James Y. Stanley did leave a Last Will naming Bona Allen as his executor. But in 1913 his heirs joined and agreed that

1. Mary and Betty should retain their ownership of the house, farm tools, all wagons, buggies which was
deeded to them during their father's life. Ownership would pass to the surviving sister, which was Betty.

2. Bona Allen, as agent, should convert all other assets of the estate into cash and divide the proceeds among the children.

Records at the Georgia State Archive:

The State of Georgia raised a Militia in each county, also called the Home Guards. The 1863 Gwinnett Militia Rolls, District 407 - which was the Town District - lists James Y. Stanley.

In this 1860 Census, James Y. reported land holdings of $1,000

The Pleasant Hill Methodist Church was located on James Waiter's property, behind what later became the Robert Stanley home place. That cemetery is final resting-place for much of the family beginning with James Young Stanley and his wife Caroline Betts. In 1857, James Waiter initiated the original deed for that tract of land as follows:

Notes for LOUISA JANE STANLEY:
Louisa was a daughter of James Y. and Caroline Betts Stanley. She was born at her father's home in Dacula, Georgia and lived her entire life in Gwinnett County. She married Bona Allen, Sr. in 1866 at the age of eighteen. Together they had six children:

· Clarence
· Bona, Jr.
· John Q.
· Victor
· Wadleigh
· Kate

Bona Allen was a son of Washington Allen of Dacula. There were nine Allen children, all born and raised in Dacula. Wash Allen was in the business of tanning hides, and even imported his tanning chemicals from England. This trade he taught to his sons, particularly Robert and Bona.

In about 1871 Bona moved to Rome, Georgia where he stayed for about two years. He and Louisa moved to Buford in 1873, actually following his brother Robert there for the hide tanning business. Bona eventually ran the entire business. With the success of their ventures, Bona moved his parents to Buford about 1874.

Vines Allen, Bona's brother, had no particular interest in the tanning business. He married one of Louisa's sisters, Georgia Stanley, and moved to Houschton, Georgia.

The tannery grew greatly in the following years. It was expanded to include a horse collar factory, a harness factory, saddle factory, glue factory, and a shoe factory. The Allen family came to be viewed as the leading family in the county - their business payroll exceeding one million dollars annually and employing thousands of county residents. At the time of his death Bona Allen owned approximately seventy-five percent of of the property in Buford, Georgia.

In 1912 his son, Bona Allen, Jr. built the magnificent mansion for his parents which still stands as a showplace in downtown Buford. The home is now the residence of a local businessman, Mr. Bailey. Leading to the mansion are several white-columned homes where the sons of Bona and Louisa lived.  Today (1986)  the homes are used for offices by local attorneys.

Louisa grew ill in her final years. Her sister, Bettie, moved to Buford to help care for her. When Louisa died in 1918, Bona Allen married Bettie Stanley. This was the second marriage for each of them.

Bona Allen died in 1925 and is buried beside Louisa at the Buford City Cemetery. Bettie returned to the home of her father in Dacula where she resided until her death in 1951. She is buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Dacula.

The compiler gathered the above information from Bona Allen IV, who lived in Dunwoody, Georgia.

Washington Allen (1810-1876) married Biddie _____ (1819-1895). They were parents of nine children.  Wash Allen trapped for furs and taught his sons the tanning business.  He raised his family in Dacula, Georgia where he first practiced tanning hides.

Robert Allen first moved to Buford to start a tanning business there. Bona, his father, later moved the family there.
Nearly all the Allen family lived in Buford, Georgia, and most are buried there.

Notes for EARLY JORDAN STANLEY:
Early J. Stanley, Sr. was born March 4, 1850 at the home of his father, James Young Stanley, in Dacula, Georgia. He died at the age of seventy-seven years in 1927. On November 25, 1890 he married Flora Rebecca Ambrose. Flora was born in October 1858 and died at seventy-one years in 1929.  All their children were raised on the 275 acre farm. They first purchased 130 acres in 1901, then bought 140 acres from the heirs of James Y. Stanley.

Early and Flora were parents to ten children. The family was born and reared on their farm of 275 acres. Gwinnett County land deeds indicate that Early Stanley purchased 130 acres in land lot 243 from Jane Loveless on April 11, 1901. His father, James Y. Stanley already owned 140 acres in the northeast corner of that land lot. In November 1913, the children (heirs) of James Y. Stanley sold the remainder of the land lot to Early for a sum of $1,500.

This home place has remained in the family since it was acquired by James Y. Stanley in the late 1800s. Only once was it in peril of being sold about 1930. Early's eldest son, Dolph, had returned from Miami in hopes of farming for a living. In his efforts he borrowed too heavily against the farm. Early's brother-in-law, Jack Sims, paid the outstanding debts and bought the farm. Toward recovering his investment he allowed the farm to be placed at auction. At that time it was purchased by J. D. Williams, who had married Early's niece, Buel. Uncle Jack then allowed Dolph to move his family into the Elisha Winn house, which he then owned.

Sources include Mr. Robert Orrell of Port Orange, Florida.

She married Dr. Samuel L. Hinton in 1870 at the age of eighteen. He was the youngest of four children of William and Susan Freeman Hinton. The Hintons were from Walton County where William was a large land owner and at one time a tax collector. William died in 1846 leaving four children - Sam was then three months old.

Sam Hinton attended county schools and at the age of sixteen enlisted in the Confederate Army - the Fifty-fifth Georgia Regiment - where he served the entire war. Later he attended the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Macon, Georgia. He returned home to Dacula and began practicing medicine.

It is said that Alice Stanley was of rare beauty and a good wife, taking great pride in her husband's work. Dr. Hinton was known and respected in the area. His devotion to serving the people of the community made him as much a friend as a doctor.

The Hinton family was very active in their church life. Methodists and members of Pleasant Hill Methodist Church in Dacula. When the meeting house of Pleasant Hill was overdue for extensive repairs, the Hinton family offered to build a new church in town. Today Hinton Memorial Methodist Church bears a plaque in memorial to Sam and Alice Stanley Hinton.

Dr. Sam Hinton died in 1918 at the age of seventy-two. Alice Hinton died eighteen years later in 1936.
