Don - Thank you for the information. This is helpful. Since I posted my query, I have come across this from the History of Marion County, Georgia: Motherland of Many, compiled by Rena S. COBB (1997), p. 313:
"…It is not known who Benjamin [HAYGOOD] of Marion County was m. to first, but his second wife’s name was Permelia and in 1860 U. S. Census Records of Marion County, he was 54 and she was 34. Their children were: Adeline 13, John 11, Crisey 9, Mary 8, Mandy 7, Ben 3, and Permelia 1. Benjamin was a farmer and they lived in the Tazewell District [Household #56 on p. 570 of MOM – farmer, all persons b. GA]…" [Same as widower on p. 231B, Brownville, Lee Co, AL, in 1880?]
"Eliza E. HAYGOOD, believed to be another daughter of Benjamin’s, was evidently the second wife of Olive Isham [sic], who had several children when they m. from an earlier marriage. Isham was 46 and Elisa 33 in 1860 according to census records. They were m. in Marion County on 28 APR 1851 [prob. the license date]. Children in the household were Delia 16, Martha 14, Mary 12, Sarah 9, Lucy 7, Willy 6, Thomas 5, Nancy 3, and Elizabeth 6 months. [Household #18 on p. 568 of MOM – farmer, $800/$3,520, all persons b. GA]"
[Other children of Benjamin are listed.]
I also came across these marriages:
Louisa OLIVE m. 30 AUG 1855 in Muscogee Co, GA, to Charles H. MORRIS (LDS IGI NA).
John OLIVE m. 15 DEC 1861 in Muscogee Co, GA, to Malvina HOLTON (LDS IGI NA).
And I have the following notice from the Columbus newspaper - I don't know if C. SAXTON of Columbus is connected with Jennie SEXTON who m. in 1881 John OLIVE or not. The Clapp's Factory mill operations ceased in the mid-1880s, certainly before this notice, and most of the families had moved away to Brownville (became Phenix City in 1889) or Girard (merged with Phenix City in 1923) in Alabama, to Columbus,
Published Sunday, 26 JUN 1887 in the Columbus Georgia Daily Enquirer-Sun:
"Live Oak Picnic
"The employees of the Bagging Mill will give a picnic next Saturday at Clapp's Factory.
"The use of the Store House has been secured for dancing. The best of order will be maintained. No intoxicating liquors will be allowed on the grounds. Swinging, dancing, rifle shoots and baseball by picked nines and croquet can be enjoyed.
"Mrs. G. M. BOWERS advises ice cream, watermelon and lemonade. All free, Come one, Come all to our old-fashioned picnic. All of DISBROW's picnic wagons have been engaged. Fares start from the corner of Second avenue and Eleventh streets at 6:30 o'clock. The second relay will leave the bell tower at 10:30 o'clock. Ample conveyances furnished.
"Tickets for sale:
"G. M. BOWERS, C. SAXTON – Columbus
"Joe SUMMERSGILL – Girard
"W. PREDDY – Browneville"
I am still interested in anything further on these folk. Thanks again! John in TX
