Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia, Volumes 8 - 12
edited and published by the Huxford Genealogical Society

Pioneers of the Wiregrass, Volume 1
edited and published by the Huxford Genealogical Society

in May 2009

Volume 1 of Pioneers of the Wiregrass begins a new series of books and is an expansion of Judge Huxford’s original seven volumes of Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia and the Huxford Genealogical Society’s publication of volumes eight through twelve. The original twelve volumes cover the wiregrass area of Georgia and the adjacent counties in Florida. The original volumes also include the ancestors of pioneer settlers of the coverage area who lived in other regions of the country.

Over the years, there have been many requests to expand the geographical area covered in the Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia volumes. After twelve volumes, the board of directors of the Huxford Genealogical Society felt that the time had come to respond to these requests and include the Wiregrass counties of South Alabama and Northwest Florida in a new series of books. The Wiregrass Region reaches from Costal Georgia to Northwest Florida and East Alabama and from Macon southward to Central Florida. The new Pioneers of the Wiregrass volume has some sketches for pioneers who lived in the expansion areas and later volumes will include even more. There are a few sketches in this new volume that are re-prints of ones printed in a Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia volume; usually with substantial additional information.

At long last, the publication in the Spring of 2005 of the first volume of one of the most interesting and informative genealogy books ever compiled about Georgia's people and their roots. This is a hard cover book of 350 pages plus a full name index.

Tattnall County was created in 1801 by the State Legislature although immigration into this area of Georgia began as early as 1784 when Washington County was formed. For the first 20 years of its existence, Tattnall County was a frontier county. When the Creeks ceded the territory that would become Appling, Irwin and Early Counties, large numbers of Tattnall County families relocated further south, taking advantage of the Georgia Land Lottery opportunities in those areas. Many other families continued on through Georgia to settle in Florida and the other Gulf states, as those areas were also opened up for settlement. As a result of this mass migration, there are very few long-time families in those parts of the South who cannot trace one or more of their ancestors to a family who once lived in Tattnall County.

The loose papers in this book date from the first year of Tattnall County's creation and continue well into the 19th century. While this volume only contains these records through 1845, the second volume will be printed, that will continue them through 1870.

In general, these loose papers consist of civil and criminal court citations, indictments and sentences; Grand Jury charges; arrest warrants; witness examinations; depositions; appearance bonds; bastardy bonds; fidelity bonds; adultery charges; divorce decrees; and so on. They identify all kinds of county court officers, among them lawyers, judges, justices of the peace, inferior court justices, grand jurors, petit jurors, sheriffs, their deputies, constables, and witnesses. In all, thousands of names are mentioned, as the extensive index so clearly reveals. Even the names of persons and officials from neighboring counties, such as Screven, Montgomery and Bulloch Counties, appear in the records.

These abstracts were copied directly from the original documents contained in boxes in the Tattnall County Courthouse attic. It should be pointed out that they have never been photocopied nor have they been reproduced on microfilm or microfiche. Therefore, the only way to read these documents, other than in this book, is to go to the Courthouse, where it is difficult to locate the records or even gain access to them. Hence, the dire need for this book.

Hogan Family & Kin:
A Genealogy of William Hogan,
His Descendants and Related Families

Compiled by Jessie H. and Delma Wilson Paulk
Published by Craigmiles & Associates, Inc.

This family begins with WILLIAM HOGAN who died 5 Nov 1734 in Virginia. The book is 720 pages of over 15,000 descendants, fully indexed, documented and on archival paper. (6 by 9 format)

Thelma Lee (Adams) Hogan was the driving force and the reason this book was published. She shunned recognition for the limelight, and even though she might be uncomfortable with this praise, I (Jessie Paulk) feel that it is only fitting that this book be dedicated to her.

Thelma was born 1 May 1919 in Lonoke, Lonoke Co., Arkansas. She married Harold Morgan Hogan, 14 January 1937 in Lake Providence, East Carroll Parish, Louisiana. Harold was born 14 January 1915 in Putnam Co., Florida.

For genealogy, it is no secret that Thelma has been pursuing the HOGAN roots for a very long time, from one end of the country to the other. She has corresponded over the years with untold numbers of other HOGAN descendants. She was constantly seeking other "kin" to talk to and compare notes. Thelma and Harold used their vacations to travel and do research. Thelma was the organizer and sponsor for the first Irwinville Hogan Reunion in June 1990.

This HOGAN genealogy began over 30 years ago (1994) with my (Jessie Paulk) research of the PAULK family. Hiram L. Paulk's daughter Lientisha married Elijah James Hogan, thus my interest in the Hogan connection. Later, I met a delightful person named Thelma Hogan, who graciously provided me with her data. Over time more and more documents concerning the Hogan genealogy were discovered. This Hogan book is the result of these efforts.

This book is brand new – never used. This works is a must for anyone researching Hogan ancestors.

Hendry of Clan MacNachtan:
A Genealogy of John Hendry,
His Descendants and Related Families

This HENDRY genealogy began to be accumulated over 30 years ago with the research of the HENDRY family origins by Rev. James Atkins Hendry, who published a soft copy of his family relations of Taylor County, Florida. This particular work was being maintained and updated by Sarah Helen Steen and her family of Taylor Co., Florida.

I (Jessie Paulk) became involved with the publication of this book because of my research on the HENDRY family of Taylor County, Florida and for my project and eventual publication of the Survey of Taylor County, Florida Cemeteries. Also, several of my research projects have led me to several HENDRY connections and ties to various other families that I was researching; i.e., McCall, Pate and Clements.

Several serious family researchers of the HENDRY family were gracious enough to send me their entire family collection of data, including photographs to be included and merged with what I had to make this book possible.

The HENDRY genealogy in this works starts with John Hendry from Arran, Scotland and his son, Robert Hendry, born March 17, 1752 in Island of Arran, Scotland, died August 31, 1830 in Liberty County, Georgia.

This is a hard cover book, with 847 pages, a full name index, and many family photographs as well as the background concerning the surname HENDRY and the connection to the Scottish Clan, MacNaughton (progenitor - Nachtan Mor from the 10th century).

The Paulks of America:
A Genealogy of Samuel Paulk,
His Descendants and Related Families

This book covers the ancestors and descendants of Samuel PALK/PAULK of Concord, Massachusetts and Tolland, Connecticut. This work contains 704 pages, approximately 10-12 thousand descendants and has several family photos. (6X9 format)

I (Jessie Paulk) like everyone else who has done family research, in that I did not start out with the idea to publish a book. However, my research over the past 18 years (1990) has grown so extensively and I have asked by so many people for data, that this book became a must.

At the start, I was curious about my family background and when the Georgia Revolutionary Soldiers, which listed Micajah PAULK, were published in the Macon Georgia Telegraph Newspaper, I was hooked on tracing my family line to see if Micajah was an ancestor, which he was.

Initially, I only looked for a direct family line, but when I moved to Bedford, Massachusetts, I became interested in any of the name PALK, POLK, POULK or PAULK and related families. I started accumulating data on everything I could fine of these surnames. Now, I was really hooked on research. I spent every Saturday, Sunday and holidays in libraries, cemeteries, archives, etc. all over New England, reading and copying the information.

With the use of a computer, I was able to link up a majority of my data for the families descended from Samuel PAULK and produce this book.

This book is brand new – never used. This works is a must for anyone researching Paulk ancestors.

Cemeteries of Clay County, Florida and
A Brief History of Clay County and Northeast Florida

Published and Compiled by Elizabeth R. Spencer (1973)

Henry Clay, the fiery Whig politician from Kentucky, was the inspiration for the name of Clay Co., Florida, when it was carved out of Duval County on December 31, 1858. Clay's first citizens were predominately Whigs in their political thinking and chose to name their county for the man who epitomized the type of government they believed in and could support, Long after the Whig Party was dissolved, they elected men of Whiggish leanings to represent them at the General Assemblies and later in the State Senate.

Today, the 618 square miles that comprises Clay County is almost unchanged since its creation in 1858. Situated in northeast Florida, it is bounded on the north by the parent county, Duval. The historic St. Johns River forms its eastern boundary, and it is limited on the west by the counties of Baker, Bradford, and Alachua. To the south it abuts Putnam county to which it returned a small portion of land (Melrose area) in 1859.

This works includes a comprehensive survey of the Clay County cemeteries with the location, and description of each plus the tombstone information for each burial (plus additional information when known).

This works is a must for anyone researching ancestors in Clay County, Florida.
