[NI04162] 1850 Rabun Co., GA: age 60
1870 Rabun Co., Census: age 75, living with her grandson William (William Jefferson's eldest son]
Also in the same household is John Cadwell Calhoun, age 17.

[NI04163] From Mel Cox:

Adding Polly Ann as a spouse of William is based on the court case referred to below. She is not listed in the census while Jeff's 1st wife was alive, nor is she listed in the household after Jeff's death. That
is, only in 1860.
In 1997, Grace Pauline Hamby Brown, aged 94, gave me (Mel Cox) what she remembered of her "Aunt" Polly and her only children, 2 sons, their wives and children. All that I have listed about them is from her, except that the Rabun Co., census of 1860 listed Ezekial as a child; her grave stone in South Carolina, and Jeff D's grave stone are in the same cemetery.
A Court Case for land condemnation in Rabun Co., (No 126) lists Polly's 2 sons (Zeke and Jeff) along side Willim J's children as his heirs, confirming them as HIS children.
And finally (1998) Kristy Smith found an entry in the Keowee Courier-November 13, 1858. Married on Thrusday the 4th inst. at Whetstone by D. P. Robins, Esq., Wm J Hamby of Rabun Co., Georgia to Miss Mary Compton of Pickens.

1880 Oconee, South Carolina: Polley A, Jefferson D, John P Wilson, Jane Carpenter - Niece, Bell Carpenter - Niece

[NI04168] John L Hamby gave Mel Cox the first information on this individual in 1940. In fact, we visited him in 1940, and Fate informed me of his birth out of wedlock. Fate's 1st cousin, same age and perhaps Fate's best lifelong friend. They had "batched" together while attending Young Harris College. Fate told me of the speculation that Bobs father might have been old Judge Logan E Bleckley, later Chief Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court. Two of his Granddaughters, however, thought in 1995 that it was more likely to have been John Marcus Bleckley, of the same family. He was a very successful and respected lawyer and Politician. He served both in the Georgia Legislature and Senate, representing Rabun Co. Fate, representing Gilmer County, served with him in 1928 Legislature. Ritchie tells the story of a mining Engineer becoming his benefactor and sponsoring Bob Hambys education. This engineer was Dr. Heman Lucas, who made such a positive impression on Joshua Franklin Earl that he named a child after him, Heman Lucas Earl, who became an MD. How Dr. Lucas sponsoring Bob translated into Fate accompanying him to college, we do not know.

[NI04170] From Mel Cox:

From the Keowee Courier, 20 March 1884: "The remains of Calvin Hamby, eighteen years of age, who was killed in Alabama on the 19th instant, by the fatal storm, reached our town (Walhalla, South Carolina) yesterday by the day train on the Air Line. The young man was a native of Rabun Co., Georgia, where his remains were carried for a second Internment." There being no rail connection to Rabun Co., Georgia, the remainder of the trip had to be by other means. There are other references on the page to "the cyclone" dated February, 1884.

Harry Vinson had told Mel in 1993 of his Uncle Calvin Hamby, son of Mary Ann, and of his death in Alabama, adding that his Uncle Bob (R E A Hamby) had gone over there for his funeral. He also told Mel of his Uncle Martin (or Beck), also a son of Mary Ann.

[NI04171] Thought to be the son of Martin Beck, whose family raised him. Sometimes known as Martin Beck.

1880 census: listed as Martin Hamby, farm laborer, with Martin,RIN 782 and Martha Beck.

[NI04174] Moved to western US, per Harry Vinson.

[NI04175] Last data we have on Mary is 1880 census, age 15.

[NI04176] Buried Double Springs Baptist Church, Mountain Rest, Oconee Co., South Carolina
unmarked grave

one who went to Ohio, but he at least visited back in Rabun Co. Harry Vinson remembered referring to him as "pouting Zeke". He also referred to him as "one of the Long Creek Hambies".

Mel had several telcons in 1994 with his g.grandaughter, Sherry Lynn Blazer, who gave him all of the info on his marriage and his descendants. Most of her data relative to his marriage and children come from burial records at a paupers cemetery in Hamilton, OH where 3 of his children were buried in 1910. Sherry's Grandmother had been placed in an orphanage a few years later as Ezekiel and wife moved elswhere.

Sherry was only able to find the names of four children out of at least 7.

[NI04177] Keowee Courier October 4 1905; James Hamby of Miles City, MO and Ella Hamby of Clatyon, Georgia were married by Rev. H.C. Grossman September 27 1905 at the residence of Robert Cheek, Walhalla, South Carolina. The young couple left the same evening for their new home in Montana.

Dr Wallace Hamby says she married James Hamby. He died in 1940.

1790 Greenville Co., SC: 1 m > 16; 6 m < 16; 2 f
1800 Greenville Co., SC: 2 m < 10; 1 m 26-45; 2 f < 10; 2 f 10-16; 1 f 26-45
1820 Greenville Co., SC: 2 m 10-16; 1 m 16-18; 1 m 18-26
1830 Rabun Co., GA: 1 m 15-20; 3 m 20-30

William Hamby Sr. and William Hamby Jr. are never mentioned by Ritchie, in history of Rabun County, although both are mentioned in Rabun County Court records. Both are appointed appraisers of an estate in 1831. Court records report the death of William Jr. in 1839, in the granting of letters of administration to James Hamby on the estate of William Hamby Jr. Details of the settlement of the state are reported several times into 1841. These include lists of attendees at estate sales which include: William Hamby Sr., James Hamby, William J Hamby, Patsy Hamby, Ezekial Hamby and Martha Hamby. No family relationships are revealed by these records. No mention is made of a wife or of heirs. Sale of William Jr.'s property in early 1841 includes lots in Union Co., Lumpkin Co., as well as lots 6 and 7 in Rabun Co. These Rabun County lots lie on the Chatooga River, astride the old road that led from Scaly, NC through Rabun Co., GA and into the old Whetstone community in SC, including a for of the Chatooga River. On of the references (May 1840) is to the removal of James Hamby from the state, although he appears to have returned to settle accounts.

Identification of birth place is questionable.

William was commissioned in the Georgia state militia 1-3-1863 and

appears to have served in the 'home guard' until his death in 1865.

he was shot and killed by what the family called "scalliwags" or

"carpetbaggers", according to one story in front of the Perry home.



History Note: After the war ended, Ellijay was occupied by union

troops. Reconstruction ended in 1871, but the union troops didn't

leave until 26 Aug., 1875, when William's children were all teenagers.

Ma Cox and her family visited the Cobbs in Bluff Dale TX in early

Feb.,1899, before J P Cobb, her father's, death. She probably knew it

was to be her last visit to see him alive. 8 Feb was his golden

wedding aniv.



Ma Cox and a couple of her children also visited Bluff Dale in 1933. In

an old album that was among Edith Cox Williams belongings we

found a single sheet of stationery on which someone had aparentley

started a letter in longhand; "Bluff Dale, Tex., June 23,

1933.___Dearest Marie , Well ".This was crossed out and the page

was occupied with a list of names and birth dates. The back of the

page was titled Deaths and listed some of the same names with

dates. --- THE MOST COMPLETE list of the children of J P Cobb we have

seen--just the sort of lists that would have been in the Cobb Family

Bible, and with names that would later be simplified by the owners.

!May have spelled his last name, "Roberds.



!Aunt Willie noted that he settled on Big Ivy Creek, in Buncombe

Co.,North Carolina, USA in about 1785.



!His name and that of his sons (sometimes Roberts, sometimes

Roberds, sometimes Robards) appear in the land sales records as

both buying and selling property in the Big Ivey and Flat Creek areas

between 1792 and 1850. These creeks are adjacent tributaries of

the French Broad River 18 miles or so northeast of present day

Ashville. The sons became involved in buying apparently as they

matured (about age 20). However there is great chance for

confusion as many other Roberts, or Roberds, are also listed in these

records. From a book; "Buncombe Co. North Carolina, USA Index to Deeds 1783-1850".

Aunt Willie had noted that the Roberts had once owned 10,000 acres

in this area; these records show a sale of 10,000 acres in 1846 by

Pierce Roberts, et al.

These records have at least one entry for Robert Roberts

Jr.:transferring property to Robert Roberts in 1831.

This "Tree" goes further back, but it seems speculative. For

purposes of Nancy's claim it would trace back to one Betsy Walker,

who Benjamin claimed was his grandmother. Many claims were filed

which would have to trace to this Betsy Walker, but they weave a

very confused story of her spouse(s) and off-spring.

with much more info on each individual than I have collected.



!He identified an early Battle as Matthew Battle who came to

Virginia in 1647. He is followed by a succession of six generations of

Battles each headed by a John Battle. John, the 6th, was Jack's

Great-great-grandfather and Watson C Battles brother.

Aunt Willie listed Alfred Roberts (no middle name or initial).

North Carolina, USA land sale records (See notes with Robert Roberts 204) have

entries for Alfred, Alf B, Alfred B, and A B. Gilmer Co, Georgia censuses

have listings 1850, 60 and 70 for Bryan or Bryant, and as "clergy" or

"local minister"(no First name or Initial) and thought not to be

Alfred.



Ward: "Alfred B. Roberts was an early figure in Gilmer. It is on record

that in 1851 he bought from John McKinney a 16 year old Negro boy,

named Joe whom he warranted to be of sound mind and body. He

paid $563 for the lad."



The listing we have of his children is a relatively contrived

combination of Aunt Willies data, census data, and gleanings from

Wards book.

Noah apparently was a rather tempestuous person. He came home

from the civil war, cursed his mother, was beaten badly by his

father, later threw a clock at his sister, left in a huff, went to Texas

where he raised and grazed and traded cattle. He had no established

home, slept out with his cattle. He returned home years later but

was not recognized until he told of the clock throwing incident. He

was the only child left at home when his parents died and thought

he deserved the whole estate. It's said that he rode to Rabun Co, Georgia,

and brought Joshua Frank back at gunpoint, and tried to drown him,

but failed when his wife intervened in Frank's behalf. He apparently

did not succeed in acquiring the whole estate.

A Note About kin of William Jefferson Hamby, of Early Rabun Co., Georgia

Mel Cox, 1998 In "Sketches of Rabun County History", pp 111, Ritchie
writes about the early land purchases by various Hambys. Most readers
interpret these paragraphs to say that Ezekiel Hamby was a brother to
William Jefferson Hamby. Such was not the case; Ezekiel was a brother to
William Hamby Jr. The 1830 census of Rabun Co. reports a large Hamby
Household headed by William Hamby. The Court records of 1830-1841 refer
to a William Hamby Sr, and a William Hamby Jr. This family is likely
that refered to in the census. Court Records show that William Hamby Jr
died in 1838 or1839. James Hamby was appointed administrator of the
estate. At various of the estate sales, several Hambys are recorded as
present , including William Hamby Sr., James Hamby, William J. Hamby,
Patsy Hamby, Ezekiel Hamby, and Marthy Hamby. No family relationships
are revealed by these records. No mention is made of a wife or of
heirs. Wm Jr.s estate included lots 6 and 7, about a mile south of Wm
Jefferson Hambys lot 31, and bordered directly on the Chatooga river,
the South Carolina line. In May,1840, before the settlement was complete, James
Hamby was replaced as administrator because he moved out of the state.
Apparently all of the family of William Sr moved back to South Carolina. Ezekiel is
known to have migrated to Forsyth Co., Georgia. Oconee County Court records
have the following entry: "Heirs of William Hamby Sr.,authorize John
Roach (Nellie's kin?), Pickens Dist., South Carolina, as Atty to sell estate of
William Hamby Sr. 12 April, 1841. James Hamby, Ezekiel Hamby, Martha
(x) Hamby, jr., Martha (x) Hamby Sr., Sophia (x) Hamby." William Jr,
having died in 1838 or 39, did not sign as an heir; but

Clayton Tribune, Friday, Sept. 10, 1915 - Mr. Jeff D. Beck, of

Warwoman, was in Clayton Monday and told us that his mother, Aunt

Paty Beck [Captain Sam Beck's wife], who is ninety four years old,

went fishing last Friday and caught a rainbow trout which weighed

two and one quarter pounds. While Aunt Paty is getting up in years,

she always enjoyed fishing and has caught a lot of fish, but this was

her largest one, though she has caught ells which weighed more.

Richard Cox Sr. (b 1760 Rowan Co. North Carolina, USA, d 1851/52 Dade Co., Georgia) lived

in Rowan, Co., North Carolina, USA, Randolph Co. North Carolina, USA, Iredell Co., North Carolina, USA as well as

Habersham, Gilmer and Dade Counties in Georgia. He served in the

Revolutionary War, National No. 346036: three months in Captain

Cowan's company, part time under Col. McDowell, one month under

Capt. Lapp, & three months in 18?1 under Capt. Smith in the vicinity

of Wilmington. He was in the battle of Stono.

Richard Cox Sr. appears to have been in Gilmer Co. for a few years

around 1830. It is not clear that title to property could be had prior

to 1832. His son Jonathon seems to have made his appearance in

Gilmer at about the same time. I believe the family record which

shows Jonathon's son, William, born in Ellijay is questionable.

!There is a confusing entry in the U S Census of Rabun County, Georgia for

1870. It is a household entry for Joshua F Earl (age 17) which lists

members Sara Josephine (age 20) and female Nancy (age 1 mo.). All

the data we have on John Anders Earl says he was born near the

same time. His Obituary of 1949 cites his birth date as Apr 17, 1870,

and that he died in his 79th year.

No family history mentions Nancy. After pondering this for many

months off and on, I am now of the opinion that the child of 1870

and the John A Earl of later years are one and the same person,

through whatever mistake. Mel, 1996.

This must have been a very brief visit; their next child was born in

Swain Co, North Carolina, USA in 1873.



!Other members of the Earls family retained the s ending. Frank and

his family appear to have dropped it about the time they moved

from North Carolina, USA to Rabun C. in about 1882.

They settled first in the community of Pine Mountain, in the very

north-east tip of Rabun Co, Frank served as Postmaster there in

1884 and 1885 and was a merchant. When his first wife Sarah

Josephine died in 1889, he sold his Pine Mtn property and bought

property, including a house, from a man named Arrendale, about a

half mile east of the center of Clayton. He married Carrie Bleckley in

1890; they named their daughter "Lela" for Carrie's sister. Carrie

died in 1894; Frank married the sister, "Lela", in 1900. Lela seems to

have been the spark that turned their home into the "Earl House".



I visited the Earl House when I was about 4 yrs old, but have recall

of but a few images of the occasion, among them Grandaddy Earl,

dark suit, white shirt, small dark tie, tall, thin, rather

imposing.---Mel, 1996

"Taylor Grove Church: Sister Susie West, wife of J M West born Dec 13, 1879, departed this life July 10, 1930. She was a member of the Baptist Church about 36 years and lived a devoted Christian life, true to her God, children and home. She leaves a husband and four sons, five daughters and a host of friends to mourn her absence. She said many times during her suffering that she had a home beyond this vale of tears worth ten thousand times more than this world. We feel our loss is her eternal gain and hope that all will meet and live with mother in glory."

The Tabor Birthmark: William Tabor had a peculiar birthmark. On his
lower lip were two small dimples which very much resembled tooth marks,
a trait all Tabor men have.



I remember my father telling a story of his boyhood about it. He was
riding horseback on a lonely country road in Winston County, Mississippi
as a small boy. He had heard many stories of Indian cruelty and the
capture of children. He saw an old Indian coming from the opposite
direction and was very frightened, to turn back meant to show fear, and
all Indian stories were to the effect that to show fear meant disaster
with an Indian. He rode on slowly forward hoping for the best. When he
was even with the Old Indian the Indian suddenly stopped and said, "How,
Tabor." My father was speechless; he had never seen the old Indian
before. He finally stammered, How do you know my name? The old Indian
pointed to his face and touched his lower lip. He said "only Tabar got
'um" NOTE: This birthmark has been so persistent through the generations
that it is a mark of distinction to the family



from Douglas Earl Tabor
