HISTORY OF COLQUITT COUNTY
Final Word of the Historian
THE ESTIMATED VALUE of the agricultural products of Col- quitt County for the year 1936 is as follows: Tobacco, $2,- 000,000; cotton, $1,500,000; cattle and hogs, $3,500,000; melons, $300,000; peanuts, $500,000; corn and other feed and food crops, $2,000,000-a total of $11,000,000. This is well within the facts.
We think the productivity of our cultivated lands can be doubled by scientific fertilizing and cultivation. We are of the opinion that less than half of our arable lands are now under the plow. We believe, therefore that, at the end of another generation the products of our fields and pastures will have reached forty millions of dollars per annum. This section will "mix it up" with Kansas City and Chicago in the matter of meat production. There are only three commer- cial problems-To clothe the world; to house the world; and to feed the world. Colquitt is by nature qualified to solve two of these problems as well as any section on earth. There is, as we conceive it, no limit to her future commercial devel- opment.
Finally, as we think, the thing of fundamental importance about a community is that it be good for the establishment of families and the training of children. In other words, it is written from the beginning, "Man shall not derive life from bread alone, but by every rule of living that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
And having ascertained from our study of Colquitts pioneers that they pretty well knew God, we commend their example to the present age as well as to the ages to come. We expect our civilization will endure till the "end of the ages;" because God-fearing men and women have laid its foundations on the rock of faith in the promises of the Lord.

The following are the oldest pioneer settlers of the Col- quitt territory so far as our investigation shows:
James M. Norman, born March 18, 1792, died at "Coker's Place," on the Moultrie and Albany Road, on September 12, 1864. His wife, Ruth Tillman, was born September 18, 1798; and died March 8, 1884, at residence of her son-in- law, A. J. Strickland, in Colquitt County.
John Tillman, brother of Ruth Tillman, was born in 1800, and died at the age of 86, in Colquitt County. His wife, Sarah Mercer Tillman, died at the age of 82, and is buried at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church, 9 miles out of Moultrie near the Quitman Road.

HISTORY OF COLQUITT COUNTY
Henry Crawford Tucker was born in 1803, and died in 1881, in Colquitt County.
Charles H. Johnson was born in England, in 1790; mar- ried an Aunt of "Kentucky" Roberts, at Pavo, Ga., and died in Colquitt in 1886. He is buried with his wife in the burial ground on the "Johnson Farm" in Colquitt County. He was married in 1829 to Elizabeth Roberts.
James M. Norman and his wife are buried at "Pleasant Grove" graveyard, two miles out of Moultrie on the Adel Road.
The graves of all these pioneers are on the point of being lost; and should be remarked. The obligation lies first on their descendants; and second on our historical associations.
Jacob F. Reichert, Sheriff of Colquitt in 1856-7 and in 1859-60, was a native of Wurtemburg, Germany. He re- moved to Monticello, Fla., in 1861, and is buried in four miles of that place.
Steven Johnson, born in North Carolina in 1789, was blind when the Census Marshal for 1860 called at his home. His wife, born in the same state, in 1801, was named curiously enough, "Delilah."
Reference to the rolls of World War veterans will reveal that "Julius Caesar," colored, was sent from Colquitt among her expeditionary forces. We knew his father, “Grant Caesar," personally; and were told by him that "Julius" was "over dere."
