When the Greene County Boys Marched to War in 1861.
For some unknown reason there is not a complete record of the Greene County soldiers who took part in the War Between the States. Many people have wanted these records and I have pieced together the records I have dug out of dusty records and old files that have been pigeonholed for nearly 100 years and soldiers of the 17th Georgia Regiment have just come to light. There were six officers and 148 privates. John A. Swann, was Colonel, W. G. Johnson, Colonel J. S. Hall, Lieut., Crabbe, Major.
The Militia organization was as follows: W. G. Johnson, commissioned Colonel on March 13, 1861, T. R. Walker Lt. Col., John W. Swann, Major, H. C. Weaver, Sgt. Major, J. W. Wingfield, Quartermaster, John E. Walker, Surgeon.

HISTORY OF GREENE COUNTY
Sherman's Raiders
Sherman's raiders, Park's Mill and the flight of Jefferson Davis were all exciting events which took place in Greene County and Georgia in the last part of the War Between the States.
On Nov. 19th, 1864, Geary, a Federal General command- ing the left wing, or part of it, in Sherman's army had burned all the equipment of the railroad and hundreds of bales of cot- ton and buildings in the vicinity. Next burned was the railroad bridge of the Ga. railroad over the Oconee and then they camped for the night at Lee Jordan's plantation while the sky was aglow with the flames from the fires. That night they took what they could and burned 50,000 bushels of corn.
Sunday morning of the 20th of Nov. they burned Park's mill in Greene County and set fire to the historic Park's home but the faithful slave, Cyrus saved the home with heroic work using wet blankets and water, so this home still stands today. Then the Federals crossed the Oconee chased a few Confeder- ates away over the same road which in May 1865 the Federals were chasing more important men. (Pres. Jefferson Davis)
James B. Park, Sr. owned this mill and operated a ferry and the tolls from this ferry were put in a strong hickory wood chest which had only a slot in the top and was not opened until the death of the owner, at which time the amount was found to be $100,000.
After the Federals had burned and destroyed about every- thing in their path they moved on toward Savannah and on to Columbia and to Durham Station, N. C. where on April 26, 1865 Johnston surrendered his Confederate army of Tennessee.
Pres. Jefferson Davis had left Richmond, the Confederate capital with his cabinet on Sunday, April 2, 1865 and started south. On that day Selma, Alabama fell to the Federals and on April 9th Gen. Lee surrendered at Appomattox. On the next Sundav Federal Wilson took West Point and Columbus, Ga. Pres. Jefferson went to Danville, Charlotte and to Washington, Ga. leaving there May 4th and on to Union Point and Greens-

boro. Tradition says that the President of the Confederate States spent the night of Thursday May 4, 1865 in the old James Park, Sr.'s home on the Oconee river, then in Morgan Co. but later in Greene Co., then back in Morgan. This "stran- ger" did not divulge his name and asked to be notified if Feder- als came into the vicinity and left guards posted about. (See Chapt. XIII.)
No. 11. PATRIOTIC WOMEN
Edmond Burke said: "He will not look into the past to see the way our forebears have traveled cannot with cer- tainty inte pret the present nor with clarity chart the future." With this thought in mind, I hope those who are growing tired of "old stuff" will not forget that there is much to learn about our forebears and the rugged road they had to travel in order to make Greene county what it is; and how negligent many of us have been in maintaining the same high standard that they have set for us.
In every crisis our noble women have met the needs of the times most patriotically. Under the following heading there is a list of names that have been preserved in the Greene County Ordinary's office :
