Here is all the information I have in my files about Artaxerxes Norman. Have you found him in the 1850 Colquitt or Thomas Cos. census?

“In the list of heads of families of Thomas County in 1840 will be noticed the name of Artaxerxes B. Norman, a full brother of James M. Norman, both having sprung from North (sic) Carolina stock and migrated to Georgia about 1820. It is thought that when the parents of this baby named him after the Persian king, he became the only person in the world called ‘Artaxerxes.’ This man had a son named David, whose tombstone is in the Sardis Primitive Baptist Cemetery, who had four sons as follows, all of whom live in Colquitt: Philip, Moses, Xerxes, and Virgil, the last two of whom are still alive. A copy of ‘Plutarch’s Lives' must have been lying around two or three generations of this branch of the Norman tribe.”

“We are inclined to think that the ‘Baptist Church of Christ, Sardis,’ is the first church building ever erected to God in the Colquitt territory. From inspection of early minutes of this church organization now religiously kept by Mr. Lawrence Norman, Clerk of this church at present, we know that his great-grandfather Artexerxes B. Norman was Clerk in the first years after its organization; and that his great-great-uncle, James M. Norman, was its second clerk. The minutes of this organization, largely written by these Normans and John Tillman, constitute a very remarkable set of ancient documents.”
