- Miss Lizzie Cooper Mitchell, Eufaula, Ala., 1898 (61 KB)
Lizzie was born in 1868, and soon afterward her parents died. They are in these notes elsewhere. She was raised by relatives, and schooled in Va. She married John Calvin West in Eufaula, Ala. in 1899, but died just eight months later. West remarried, but retained Lizzie's keepsakes, and they came down in his family to Steve Helderman, his great grandson, who kindly gave them to me in June, 2000. They include her pictures, two bibles (one her mother's), two autograph books replete with adoring notes, and some small jewelry including a tiny gold ring which she may have had from her mother. Her obituary notes " Highly educated, a superior artist in china decoration and painting, skilled in embroidery, unexcelled as a housekeeper, popular, a leader in society and loved by all who knew her for her many endearing qualities of heart and mind, she was peculiarly well fitted to play well her part in this life." She is buried, I believe, in Columbus, Ga. I am looking for a closer relative than I am to have her belongings. She seems a lovely young woman, and a great loss to those who knew her over a hundred years ago.

John Martin Stevens, born in Virginia in 1784, moved to northern Georgia in about 1813 and married Gen. Stewart's daughter Sarah Floyd Stewart. He acquired through purchase and later inheritance much of the Stewart land, which comprised the plantation Oak Hill, where their children were born. This deed is in my collection, passed down in the family.

This document is probably written immediately after the death of his first wife Marie Louisa Tucker in 1784. They had the two boys named here, Charles and Isaiah, who were very young. Isaiah Tucker Irvin is pictured near age 70 elsewhere in these pages. Christopher remarried in 1785 and had seven more children, dying in Morgan Co., Ga. in 1815.

This photo was made in the Pecan Street home. Grace was the youngest of a large family. As the littlest girl, she carved her own way through the family intrigues of her older sisters and brothers as she grew up. It is clear from her expression at this young age that she was seldom bested by her elder siblings!

- Gloria Dei (Old Swedes') Church, 1698-1700 (25 KB)
Gloria Dei Church (the Old Swedes') was built between 1698 - 1700 and is the oldest church in Pennsylvania. The Swedes preceded the English to this part of America, arriving here in 1646. For nearly two centuries, this church was a mission of the Church of Sweden. As Swedes were absorbed into the general American population, Gloria Dei became English speaking and was admitted into the Episcopal church in 1845. The Church is owned and maintained by its congregation and contains important historic relics and artifacts.

By 1841 Darlington Washington, then 35, was in Texas before its statehood. This certificate is issued to him for a square mile of land. Note he certifies he is married, which entitled settlers to more land than a single man. This document is courtesy of Frances Armaly, a descendant. The origin of Darlington's strange name has not been traced, but most think his mother was Nancy Darlington. Others suggest he was named for a prominent preacher. He was called Darling, and died in Parker County, Texas, perhaps at the hand of Indians, in about 1860.

This photo is from my collection, handed down from the Stevens. Patrick Stevens was raised for a time, 1827- 1836, along with his Phinizy cousins, by Matilda Stewart Phinizy at Bowling Green several miles from Oak Hill. Where he went after Matilda died we do not know, though he was by then 13, and may have returned to Oak Hill. Ferdinand went on to become the wealthiest man in Georgia (rails and commerce), while his younger brother Jacob fell at 2d Bull Run commanding the Oglethorpe Rifles, 8th Ga. Regiment.

Martha Brookes Stevens' father Iverson was a Baptist preacher, a founder of Mercer College, Georgia, and a wealthy planter in Georgia and South Carolina. He was married three times, and died on the very eve of the end of the Civil War. He is buried in Augusta, Georgia, where his tomb is inscribed "PATRIOT TEACHER WRITER MINISTER

- Allegedly Colonel John Floyd, 1750-1783 (58 KB)
John Floyd was an early surveyor, revolutionary soldier, Indian fighter, captain of the revolutionary war privateer "Phoenix," and a founder of Kentucky. He was killed by Shawnee Indians in 1783 near present day Louisville. His son and grandson became Virginia governors. A nephew, Charles Floyd, died on the Lewis and Clark expedition. They were a family of the early frontier. Some note that this picture from a crayon drawing may not be Floyd, but "The Tuley Family Memoirs: A Historical, Biographical and Genealogical Story of the TULEYS and the FLOYD FAMILY Connection in Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana" by William Floyd Tuley, 1906, attributes this sketch to "an old crayon owned by Col. R. T. Durrett of Louisville, the only picture existant of Floyd." The crayon is now in the Filson Club, Louisville. It may well be that it is of Colonel Floyd's son Governor Floyd, born in 1783. It should be compared to his portrait taken (I think) when he was governor. They are much the same. On the other hand, who can dispute this is Colonel Floyd? This copy was in my grandfather's collections, and in mine since 1957.

Their only child Robert became a three-term mayor of Gainesville, Georgia, and a prominent businessman. But he never knew them well, for Richard went off to war with the Jackson County Blues, the 43d Georgia Infantry, and died in Vicksburg, Miss. Emily preceded him in death by several months, leaving their nine year old son to be raised by relatives.

The bush was beautiful even when I last saw it in 1992, said to be so over the years "because the ground was so pure." She was called Lula. What a terrible loss.

I have his diploma, on vellum, from the University, signed by President P H Mell and all the professors. His very long obituary praises his service in his community as a young doctor and extols his service and honesty. He became "exhausted" from his exertions and travel to patients, and in November, 1890, fell ill in the lungs and never recovered. He was to have been married before he took ill, but died leaving no family.

- Captain Jacob Phinizy, Oglethorpe Rifles, abt 1861 (87 KB)
Jacob was a very close friend and business partner of his first cousin, Pat Stevens, born just a few weeks before Jacob in October 1823. They were raised to maturity together by the lovely Matilda Stewart Phinizy, and it was together in the 50s they bought land in in Bolivar Co., Mississippi, on the banks of the river, during the settling and clearing of the vast Yazoo tract. They endured flood after flood and eventually had to put the land up for sale about 1861 at the beginning of the war. Pat was elected to the Georgia House, and Jacob joined the Army, where in 1862 he was killed at the Second Manassas on the 30th August, leading the Oglethorpe Rifles of the 8th Georgians. We have his letters home to Pat. General Beauregard saluted the Regiment for their conduct that day. The captain rests on the battlefield beneath the rolling hills to this day. (This photo owes to the courtesy of Joan Doughty, another remarkable Phinizy researcher, 2001.)

The regiment was cited for bravery by Beauregard. I am in the process of transcribing and posting these letters at this site in his memory. He lies somewhere at Manassas in an unmarked grave.

This document is courtesy of Paulette Gilchrist; it is a receipt record for court testimony for several Washingtons, including Darlington and his father Thomas Washington. Darling's is evidently an actual signature; Thomas's might not be, for it appears to be in the same hand as John, below Thomas. Paulette notes that "this old book was just found (May 2006) in the old courthouse in Ashville, St. Clair Co. (where Ashville is one of the two county seats). It is a Sheriff's Record Book. Witnesses had to sign that they had received their fees for testifying in court. Darling could write, Allen could not and I believe the same person signed for Thomas and John."

- Matoaka Pocahontas (1595-1616) (48 KB)
There are many tales in the Floyd and other Virginia families of a kinship to her, primarily through young Nicketti, a great grandaughter of Powhatan and a great niece of Pocahontas.

Much of this can never be proven, but is curious as it might well be so. Certainly the family says so. Pocahontas' husband remarried at her death and also figures in these notes.
