Dear Fellow Members,
ln this my third message to you, I can report that our Society continues
successfully. We contrnue to have well-attended meetings, which have been glven or
selected by our Board members. We continue to add tg our holdings rn genealogy in
the Special Collections Room of the Neva Lomason Library. lf you haven't checked
there recently, I invite you to give our collections a try.
As we look about us in the world of genealggy, we continually notice that more
and more people are using the lnternet for their researchlng Th s leads me to the
following conclusion: lncreasingly, the genealogical communiiy is becornlng divided,
more or less, into three groups
ln the first group are the old traditionalists who still believe the only way to do
serious genealogical research is by resorting to primary sources rn llSraries and
repositories of all kinds, perhaps after finding all they can frorn family merrbers who
remember the old days.
The second group growing enormously, consists of those who use the lnternet
alrnost exclusively for what "research" they do. l\rany such genealogrsts rely on
surname lists, to which they send inquines. and on which they receive replies from
fellow surname-related people.
A third group is made up of those who use the lnternet selectively for ihe things
it can offer, such as communication with distant relatives and access to reference lists
(which are increasingly being published on the Web), and to surname lists such as may
be found on Rootsweb and the Famiiy History Center (LDS) lists They use these bits
of information as guides to further research into primary sources for verification Thrs
group will find more and more facts as more databases are published on the lnternet.
I believe that a Genealogy Society such as ours should decide whrch group(s) t
wishes to serve lt may be that most of us would prefer to continue to foilow traditional
methods and procedures to explore our fami,y histories Others may adopt the third
group's way of selective use of the electronic marvels afforded us today. I don't belleve
a serious Society would elect to lean toward a group which primaily uses the lnternet.
Whichever way we choose, we should in the future see lhat our programs and
activaties support the choices made by most of our members and prospectlve members.
Good hunting!

PAYING TRIBUTE TO TOMMY'S HELEN:
THE TMPORTANCE OF FArr/llly
By Carol N/lartin
On June 13, 1999, the descendants of Dr. FranKlin Asbury and Mary Eiizabeth
O'Donnell Martin will celebrate their 50th reunion.
After the deaths of their father in 1940 and therr motheln 1944. it was decided
to hold a reunion annually on the second Sunday in June This year Steve and Betty
I\rartin Steen and Mac and Carol Ma.tin, children of Talmage and l.ilyrtice Marttn, are
hosting the reunion at John Tanner State Park
The l,Iartin family has deep roots in Carroll County. Dr. Martin was born ]n 1865
in Mt. Zion, Ga., where his father, Dr. Hlcks l\4artin practiced medicine and preached
the gospel. The youngest of nine children Asbury chose to follow in his father's
footsteps. He attended AtJanta Eclectic College graduating at 19 years of age.
It was in Atlanta that Asbu.y met and married N4ary Elizabeth "Molly" O'Donnell
Since one could not obtain a license to practice rnedicine until the age of 21, the young
couple moved to Kentucky where Molly's parents lrved and where Asbury operated a
drugstore. They had eleven children ten of whom lived to adulthood.
Their first four children were born in Jeffersonville, lnd. Their first child, Eari,
died in a fall when he was eight years old. The others were l!,lae Rosalie. and Frank.
Talmage, Roy, Lilarguerite, and Donald were bom in nearby Commrskey, lnd Then the
young doctor moved to Tallapoosa wher Luia Clair and Helen were born. Tommy, the
youngest, was born after the family located in Bowdon
Dr. lvartin was known as "the baby doctor" because he delivered so many
babies during his 57 years of practice. He de{tvered 16 of his olvn grandchildren as his
daughters and daughters-in-law returned to Bowdon for RFD (rural free delivery).
Most of the family chose to llve in Georgia Mae and Frank Setzer and their four
children, Frank Jr., Unetta, John, and Lenore lived !n Atlanta Rosalie and Ed Roberts
and their daughter, Dorothy, lived in Dougiasvrlle Talmage and lryrtice I\4artin and
their children Mac and Sarah Betty, lived in Elberton Roy and Alice [,4artin and their
children, Roy, Kenneth, and Mary Elizabeth, {ived in south Georgi6. Marguerite and
Luther Johnson and their sons, Martin L and Harold |ved rn Bowdon. Lula Clair and
Earnest Spradlin and their child.en, Jimmie Lou, Jacque l"1ay. and Eobbie Jean lived
in Newnan Helen and J. L. Barnes and therr Qhildren, Jrrn, Joe and Peggy, lived in
Tallapoosa Dunng Tommy Martin's service in the U.S. Army, he, Helen, and theu two
-fom
sons,
and John, moved about, but upon his retirement, they settled in Conyers
Donald and Elizabeth Martin and their children [Jary Elizabeth Robert. Donald
Ronald, Franklin, and Earl lived nearby ln Holly Pond, Ala Frank and Pauline ll4artin
and their children, Gloria and Talmage L, lived at some distance in Louisville, Ky.
At this time all of Asbury's and Molly's children have died. Only the widow of
their youngest, Tommy, survives. Helen Colbert Martin, $/hom we affectionately call
"Tommy's Helen" to distinguish her from Heien lvlartin Barnes has become the
mainstay of the family She is the repository of family information and keeps a record
of attendance at the family reunions
We are dedicating the 50th Martin Famriy Reunion to Helen CoJbert N4artin in
love and appreciation. We are so glad that Tommy brought his Helen into our family.
(lvlartin, a Carrollton resident, is active in local and governmental affairs.)

Howard B. Shackelford was born ca 179311794 in Abbeville, SC. He rnamed Margaret
Carlisle in 1824, in Abbeville, SC . the Lowndesville, SC. region. i\4argaret Carlisle was
born in 1800, the daughter of James Jr and Margaret Boles Carlisle Her father
James Carlrsle Jr, was born 23 May 1763 in Monaghan Co lreland The Ca.lisles are
buried in a private cemetery in Lowndesville, SC. Howard B. Shackelford remained in
Abbeville at least until the birth of his eldest child James CarlLSle Shackelford who was
born in 1826, and moved sometime later to Meriwether Co . GA. Ataboutthesame
time the Grant family also moved to Meriwether Co Thrs rs the same Grant famrly that
Mary Shackelford, sister of Howard, married lnto William Grant's father, John. died in
1820 and ftIordecai, father of Howard Shackelford, died in 1839. Shortly aftertheir
deaths, the Shackelfords Carlisles, and Grants moved into l,4eriwether Co , cA, first
appearing in the 1850 Census
The children of Howard B. and Margaret Cadisle Shackelford are James Carlisle, Sarah
Jane, M A, E. A., and M C. A Shacklefcrd.

I am walting for information on the 1860 and 1870 census to see if Howard
Shackelford remarned in Meflwether Co. GA. I have reason to believe that he may
have moved 10 Arkansas sometime after 1850. Shortly after'1850. the Grant family

-79THE FAMILY OF PHILLIP AND LEAH BURROW
Wntten by Pauline Derhak 3 June '1999
1375 W 4505 S, Taylorsville, UT 84123
(Elizabeih Light, Researcher, Ft Payne, AL)
Phillip Bunow Sr. and Leah (Banks or Jones) Burrow, of North Carolina, and Wilkes
and Jones Counties, Georgia, lived out the last two decades of their lives rn Carroll Co.
GA, from the mid 1830's to 1853 They had at least twelve chlldren whose descendants were dispersed among the population of many Geo.gia counties, includrng
Carroll Co. lt is for this reason we feel strongly about sharing a little oF what has been
researched on their children.
1. Elizabeth Burrow, born 2 Feb '1791 NC. She moved with her famrly to Georgia, and
married James W. Kelley in "east Georgra." They moved with their family to Coweta
Co , GA, in the 1830's-1840's. They had erght children Nancy N4., Martha P., Wllliam
Harrison, John Wilboum, Green Wesley, Elizabeth J. Mary lvl., and Adeline E Kelley
Elizabeth died 2 Nray 1848 in Seaton Co. MS. When her father Philiip Sr died in 1853,
her portion of his estate was a Negro girl, Ann, valued at $900, and was to go to her
children, "she being dead." The administration papers also state. "Advancements
made to Elizabeth Kelly during hrs (P8 s) lifetime To Wil one colt @ $40i one cow and
calf @ $'10; cash@$250." Named in her deposition were John Carlton (Nancy's
husband), John W. Kelly, and Wm. H Kelly for her inheritance of the slave Ann valued
at $900, and $186.74. Elizabeth's granddaughter, Susan Kelley, married her sister
Nancy Hammock's grandson, Charles James Davenport.
2.
Nancv Ann Burrow, born 1794 (listed age 66 on 1860 Census) in Guilford Co, NC.
She moved with her family to Georgia, and married Green Berry Hammock, according
to family traditions, gqessed to have occurred between 1808 and 18'10 The place as
yet is unknown, and no record has been found They had the following children
possibly others: James lvl., born 1814, Green B, born 1815: Matildas, born 1816; Mary
(Polly), born 18'17i Rachel Cicely, born 23 Sep 1818. and Nlartha, born ca 1820.
Among the names of other chrldren mentioned as possib,ly Nancy's are Joseph T., born
ca 1824; Bartlett W., born '1825i and John T , born ca 1830. However. some of these
have been proven to belong to other parents Nancy was given the 202-112 actes ol
Land Lot 206 ("in Tenth origrnally Ninth Dlstrict') by her father rn 1848 for her support
for the rest of her life, under the trusteeship of her son-rn-law James Grllam Davenport
ln her father's estate papers, following his death in 1853. is the following "Georgra
Carroll County- The 8th of February 1854- An account of advancements made by
Phillip Burrow to Nancy Hammock during hrs life To Wit one Negro girl 10 months old
@ $50.00; one coltworih $40 00; cash $375.00 " She was found rn James G.
Davenport's household during the 1860 U S Census and appears under his
trusteeship in the county tax lrsts through '1861. Apparently no taxes were ievied dunng
the War, and in 1866 her name does not appear on the list lt is not known when she
died, but she is believed to be buried near her daughter Raohel and son-in-law James
in lhe little cemetery near the Davenport homestead in Carroll County.
1797 in NC Shewas married to William McKissack

born about '1804 probably in Wlkes Co , GA. She married Reuben
Phillips about 1824-25 in Coweta Co. GA. They had at least one son, Jonathan,
probably bom in 1825, and a daughter. The 1840U. S Census for lvleriwether Co lists
them with one daughter 15-20 years of age and one son 10 15 years old. ltwas said
of them that they may have lived for a trme in Alabama. The 1850 U S Census finds

respectively to their wives by Phillip Burrow deceased in hrs lrfetime except small

instrument shows that Phillip Burrow Senr. died by October. 1853 ) Sarah s inheritance
was the slave Mariah valued at $300.00, and $666.74 lt is believed that Sarah died in
Claiborn Parish. Louisiana about 1857. Reuben Phillips went to Basque Co , TX, by

Andrew Shadinge!'was born about 1802 and died 10 Nov 1831 He married
Elizabeth Mitchell, daughter of Henry N,'litchell Andrew and Elizabeth lived in Fayette
County, Georgia. Andrewdiedwhen hewas a young man. Aunt Georgia said he was
cutting wood and the wind blew a tree over on him and killed him.
ln about 1857 John and his mother, Elizabeth M Shadinger Jones bought
202 112 acte. on what is now Hwy 27 South. Elizabeth had married Willis Jones after
Andrew Shadinger's death and Willis Jones was probably already dead before they
came to CarrollCounty. ln Coweta Co., GA, an indenture was made and entered
25 July '1848 between Willis Jones and John Shadinger that for and in consideration of
$150 00 to Willis Jones paid by John Shadinger a parcel of land containing 60 acres.
Willis Jones probably died in Coweta Co , GA. When Elizabeth died apparently her
other children were already dead because John inhented all 202 1/2 acres.
The '1860 Carroll County Census shows Elizabeth Jones, age 52, female,
farmer, born in South Carolina, with real estate valued at S3.000 and personal property
valued at $9,600, in the Tricum District of Carroll Co GA.

SHADINGER TRIBUTE
(Descendants gather in the cemetery at Emmaus Prirnttive Baptist Church io
pay tribute to Civil War veteran John Shadinger A stoie plaque draped with the
Confederate flag was unveiled ) lt was 70 years ago this spring that John Shadinger
dred and was buried beside his wife. Ellen, at Emmaus Primiuve Baptlst Church
Last month, some of his descendants gathered there to honor hirn as a veieran
of the Civil War a Christian, a conce.ned citizen of hrs communrty and a devoted family
man.
ln 1863 when he learned that his slckly '16 year-old son was io be inducted into
the Confederate Army, he took his son's place even though he was 36 years old at the
time

He served until the end of the war in Company I (Storey's Regiment) of the
Georgia State Troups. At the t me of the surrender in April 1865 Shadinger was home
on furlough and was discharged rn July '1865. He was later awarded the Confederate
Cross of Honor by the United Daughters of the Confederacy
A stone plaque draped with the Confederate flag was unveiled and the flag
presented to his oldest living grandchild, Mattre Martin Nix.
When Emmaus Church was first organized in '1871. there was no church
building and the first conference was held in the home of John Shadinger, according to
recorded mrnutes ln 1873, land for a building was donated and the building committee
included Shadinger Since he was especially fond of Sacred Harp slnging, his greatgrandchildren paid homage to him by singing the old songs.
ln 1867, Shadinge/s name was among the first recorded trustees of Rocky
l\,4ount School, even though he stgned with his "mark." His tnterest and influence has
been far reaching When his descendants were asked to stand if they or some of their
ancestors had attended the school, almost allof the congreqation stood
He was probably best known in Carroll County as the builder of a rock fence
along Shadinger Ridge. lt was built without mortar, and was about 8 feet high, 2 feet
wide, and extended several hundred yards. The wallwas torn down dunng the paving
and widening of Highway 27 South in 1934
At the ttme of his death tn 1915 at the age of 89, the descendanis of John
Shadinger numbered 219. The total today is unknown; however, at the ceremony last
month a roll call by families of each of his seven children showed 160 in attendance.
"As the sound of taps and Sacred Harp srngtng echoed from the cemetery
across the quiet countryside, a person would airr]ost feel the presence of the man who
left his'mark'on allthe lives he touched," said a descendant (The ceremony was held
on Saturday, April2T 1985.at2p.m,tnCarroll CoLtnty, Georgia )
The following are excerpts from a report given by Everett Denney (great grandson) on
research that he has done on the life and times of John Shadinger The report was
given April 27, 1985 on the occasion of the setting of a Confederate Army marker over
the grave at Emmaus Church cemetery. The dedication servrce was attended by more
than one hundred descendants.
SHADINGER S RIDGET John Shadinger inherited Land Lot #2 (202 1t2 aqes)
in the Tenth District from his mothels estate His land was astride a high narrow ridge,
which in trme came to be known as Shadinger's Ridge. Lot #2 ts very rough and rocky
with several areas of solid bald rock and many loose rocks were scattered over the
entire area The fldge is a watershed, determrning runoff flow east to the Chattahoochee or west to the Tallapoosa John acquired other parcels of land and he gave each
of his chrldren 75 acres when they married and started therr own homes.
Sometime after moving on the land John burlt a house on the west side of the
road, it is still standing and is in use today after over a hundred years Thls house was
the scene of many festive occasions Regardless of the day of the week of his
birthday, his chrldren, grandchildren, friends and relatives came from far and near to
help him celebrate. There are several groLrp photos that attest to the reality of these
good times
Dr. J C. Bonner in his book, 'Georgia's Last Frontier," mentioned Shadinger's
Ridge on two occasions. The first, in illustrating amusements and social diversions of a
district rural flavor concerned a fox hunt along Shadinger's Rldge in January of 1878 in
-85Descendants of Andrew Shadinger Cont'd
which 39 men and as many dogs participated. The other item mentloned by Dr Bonner
was the fact that John Shadinger was so opposed to changing the Fence Law that he
constructed a 1o-foot stone fence several hundred yards in length to partly enclose a
field in front of his house on Shadinger's Ridge lt remained Lrntil 1934 as a monument
not only to Shadinger's conservative faith, but also to his skiil as a stone mason
There is room for argument with Dr. Bonner in reference to the length, herght,
and reason for building the fence, but as 1o his skill as a mason there is no questron. I
have found nothing to indicate how John Shadinger felt about the stock laws other than
the above statement. This idea was supposed to have come from the Carroll County
Free Press in 1884, but I could find nothing about it on the microfllrn copres of these
papers.
John Shadingefs land was very rocky land some very large stones had to be
picked up, hauled and placed in a fence One possible explsn3tron for the fence is that
he wanted to clear the rocks out of his fields so they would't hinder cultivatlnq the land
or harvesting the crops. We will have to leave his rnotive for constructing the fence to
future generations. By building the fence John Shadinger did something no other man
had done in this part of the county. The fence was built without the use of mortar and
much of it still stood unlil it was torn down in 1934 to widen US 27 in preparation for
paving.
SCHOOL: The oldest document regarding John Shadinger's intetest in schools
is an indenture dated February 1, 1867, between William Avery and the following
committee of Trustees: J.C Brown Sr. J. C. Shackleford, J G Lambert John
Shadinger, N Jones, J R. Griffin, and J C Martrn The document states that, "Wm.
Avery for the sum of three dollars ($3) in lavrful money of the United States is
conveying title to a cedain piece of land which is described below One half acre sold
together with one half acre donated or given making in all one acre (off the north of lot
#32) where on it situated Rocky lvlount Academy " Then follows a description of the
landlines which slates that the land was on the Franklin road
lnterestingly the description of the parcel of land siates "where on is srtuated
Rocky Mount Academy" and the time of the land purchase was less than two years
after the end of the Civil War, possibly the school house had been built earlier and was
already standing when the trLrstees bought the land in 1867. Some believe that Rocky
Mouont Academy operated as a private school for a while wtth only a few students Bul
whether it was a private or a public school the influence and nterest of John Shadinger
in Rocky Mount Schoolwas far reaching to many of his chtldren grandchlldren, and
great grandchildren many of whom received all or part of their formal education at this
school. Rocky Mount School operated until about '1932 when lt was torn down and the
usuable materials were combined \ /ith those of Oak Ridge the cther school in the
district; those two schools were consolrdated to form Rock Ridge School Duflng the
first year of operation of Rock Ridge School two of the four teachers were
grandchildren of John Shadinger. Thesewere Mr L E. Mad n and Mrss Ruth
Shadinger.
CHURCH: John Shadinge/s early relationship to the Church is difficult to
establish. Since Whooping Creek Primitive Baptist was organized in the early 1850's,
some twenty years before Emmaus Primitive Baptist Church, there is strong evidence
that he attended the Whoopinq Creek ChLtrch and was possibly a member. ln a brief
scan of Whooping Creek Chlrrch records of that period, I was not able to find his name
on the church roll nor in the Minutes of their Church Conference Mr M T Fuller Sr.
Descendants of Andrew Shadinger, Cont'd.
related that one time when he was a small boy, as they were going to Whooping Creek
Church in a wagon, [rr. Shadingerjoined them and rode to church with them. This
incident occurred around '1900 (thirty years after Emmaus was organized). John's
mother, Elizabeth Jones, was redelved into Whooping Creek Church April 12, 1860,
soon after moving to Canoll County. John Shadinger has at least two g.andchildren
and at least one great grandchild buried in the Whooping Creek Cemetery.
The organization meeting of Emmaus Primitive Eaptist Church on November 27,
1871, was at Rocky Mount, CarrollCounty, Georgia. Rocky Mountwas a school
located near the grounds where the Emmaus Church was later built. The male members listed at the organization meeting were J. C. Burnham, C. D Chappell, and E. L.
Hand.
Two final events are recorded in a memorial to John Shadinger written to the
Carroll County Times, Llarch 18, 1915, by a granddaughter. lamtold this was written
by Willie Myrt Shadinger at about the age of 15 years and I quote: "He united with the
Primitive Baptist Church at Old EmmaLls when he was about 75 years of age and was a
faithful member." Continuing from the same article: "On last Sunday morning March
14, 19'15, just about two o'clock, John Shadinger died his remains were laid to rest
beside his wife at Emmaus Elders J. lvl. Bagwell and W. P. lvlerrell conducted the
funeral services."
MILITARY SERVICE: John Shadinger entered the service of the Confederate
States in February 1863, atthe age of 36. lt has been suggested that his oldest son,
James, was about to be taken into the service at the age of 15-112 yeats. As his son
was not in good health, John decided to take his place in the Arrny Upon enlistment
he was placed in Co l, 2nd Regiment, Georgia State Troops. From the Ga. Dept. of
Archives and History we find that from February 1863 to January '1864 John Shadinger
appears as a private on six original Company Muster Rolls of Co. l, 2nd (a{so known as
Storey's Regiment), Ga. State Troops.
Also from the Archives we learn that part of the Command was captured at
Columbus, Ga., in Wilson's Raid and the other part surrendered in North Carolina or
Macon, Ga. John Shadinger was not present at the surrender for he was sick at home
on furlough. According to statements by Ellen, John's wife, in an affidavit while
applying for a pension dated September 24, 1904 John came home two times on
furlough, once to see his sick daughter, the second time was the last of March in 1865
when he had a fifteen-day furlough When his furlough was almost over, he became ill
and was seen by Dr. F. A. Morgan, an Army Surgeon also at home on furlough, who
extended his time off because of his illness. As Ellen stated, the other soldiers came
home and her husband was still sick and continued so for a long time.
John Shadinger was honorably drscharged from said service by parole in
Atlanta, Georgia, in July 1865. This information is recorded in a Certificate of Eligrbility
for Confederate Cross of Honor. John is recorded as a member of Camp 487, United
Confederate Veterans and his Certificate of Eligibility for the Cross or Badge of Honor
was endorsed by the Commander and other members of Camp 487, United
Confederate Veterans. The Cross of Honor was a project of the U. D C, United
Daughters of the Confederacy, and the Cross was bestowed on John Shadinger on
April 2oth, 1904.
Note, by Mrs. Denney, 1998: The Emmaus Primitive Baptrst Church on Oak Grove
Church Road, CarrollCo., Ga., was struck by lightning and burned on August 3, 1987
