THE JAMES C. BOWER AND RELATED FAMILIES
The ancestor of the James C. Bower (Bauer ) family immigrated from Holland to Rhode Island. The father of Isaac Bower was a sculptor of Providence. Isaac was born in 1783 and came to Sa- vannah about 1800 as a cabin boy on a sailing vessel, and then on up to Augusta. For a while he remained in Burke County where he married Frances C. White, born in S. C., 1788, and died in Arkan-

sas, 1842. (William Steele, her grandfather, was a trader, carrying trains of pack horses from Charleston laden with merchandise to the Indian nation, trading from one Indian village to another and frequently being gone eight months on such journeys, and returning with his horses loaded with skins and furs.)
Isaac and Frances settled at Milledgeville where he maintained a large mercantile establishment, with boats running up and down the Oconee river. Their children were : John White Bower, 1808-1850, went to Texas; Isaac E. Bower, 1811, m. Adaline Breedlove of Talbot County; Bernard Larry Bower, 1812-1843; James Cuth- bert Bower, 1814-1887, m. Martha Davis, 1848; Honor M. A. Bower, 1817; William Steele Bower, 1820, went to New Orleans ; Elizabeth Laura A. Bower, 1822, m. Isaac Hand of Newton; Mis- sissippi Bower, 1825, m. Ben Lester of Savannah; Columbia Bow- er, 1828, m. Columbus Hand of Sumter County.
Business reverses occurring in the financial depression about 1820, Isaac disposed of his mercantile business and moved, first to Jones County, then to Arkansas with his family.
His son, James C., became postmaster at Big Creek, Phillip Coun- ty, Arkansas, in 1838, later returning to Muscogee County, Geor- gia, where he read law in his brother Eben's office and was ad- mitted to the bar in 1839. He located at Cuthbert and practiced law there for several years, moving to Irwinton in 1847. The next year he was made Justice of the Inferior Court. In 1858 he succeeded Samuel Beall as Ordinary though continuing his law practice.
The following tribute is found in his obituary :
"In his profession he labored assiduously. No client ever intrusted his cause to more faithful hands. He carried into all his cases pro- found study, original conception, and withal such indomitable per- severance and industry that success more frequently than not crowned his efforts. His was a busy, useful life."
In his family Bible where the birth of his daughter, Aurora, is recorded there is written in his hand a poem to his infant "Aurora," never published, but one whose poetic beauty and imagery pro- nounces its writer a poet of no mean ability.
Judge Bower was opposed to Secession but once in the war he was as patriotic as any. Few suffered any worse from the ravages of Sherman's Army than did he. The history of the three days of terror as experienced by her father and mother during Sherman's visit

here is vividly depicted by Mrs. W. C. Matthews in her history of this occasion. Immediately after the advance guard arrived an officer stopped at the door and advised them to conceal all their property. Everything possible was brought into the house and next day a guard was posted by the Yankees.
Soon, however, the looting began. Corn cribs, potato hills, smoke- houses, and chicken houses were broken open and their contents taken away. At the Bower plantation near Irwinton they knocked the top off Bower's carriage and, loading it full of sheep, hitched two oxen to it and drove into town, pausing long enough to shout to the Judge "Here is your fine carriage, Old Reb." While the work of destruction was going on at his plantation his fine De- von Bull took fright and at the head of thirty of the Judge's cows never paused in his flight until he reached the secure depths of Big Sandy Swamp, from which haven he and his herd did not emerge until all the Yankees were gone.
On the third day the army left Irwinton but the stragglers now proved a serious menace. Two of them seeing Judge Bower's over- coat, took it from him by force. He saved his fine watch by hiding it in a stump hole, while Mrs. Bower saved her silver by wrapping it up and tossing it into the palmetto hedge.
THE DAVIS FAMILY
Henry Davis, of North Carolina, was married to Nancy Potts of Kentucky in 1796. Their children were: Margaret, b. 1797, m. Colson ; Hansford, b. 1799, m. Peggy Eady ; Oren, b. in 1800. Hen- ry with his wife and children migrated to Wilkinson County as one of the first settlers in a "schooner" wagon, bringing with him two slaves, and a number of cattle and horses, the journey requiring more than forty days, they having to ford streams, and stop fre- quently for the animals to forage. They settled on what is known as the Old Davis Place now owned by Mrs. W. C. Matthews.
According to traditions, Henry Davis was in the Seminole War of 1818 but becoming disabled his seventeen year old son, Oren, took his place. His job was to haul supplies for the army in Andrew Jackson's famous Florida Campaign. He was granted lots No. 186-187 in Cherokee County for his services.
JOHN EADY, SR., who emigrated from Ireland, whose Revo-
463
HISTORY OF WILKINSON COUNTY
lutionary service was certified by General Elijah Clarke, was one of the early settlers of the county, building a mill on Black Creek still known as "Eady's Mill." His son, Henry, (b. 1786-1847) was married in 1807 to Elizabeth Gay (b. 1790, daughter of Allen and Abigail (Castleberry) Gay. Henry became very wealthy, own- ing a great many slaves. Henry's daughter, Temperance, married Oren Davis.
Having traced the ancestral families, we now return to James C. Bower who was married in 1848 to Martha, the daughter of Oren and Temperance (Eady) Davis (Oren gave Martha, as bridal pres- ent, the house and lot where the granddaughter, Mrs. W. C. Mat- thews, now lives, and a negro woman and a negro baby.) Their chil- dren were: Isaac Oren, James White, Aurora Imogene, Henrietta Flora.
Isaac O. married Olive Bishop, the daughter of the gallant Cap- tain George Bishop, who commanded Company I of the 57th Geor- gia Regiment. Their son, Omar B., of Hawkinsville, still owns his grandfather's sword. Another son of Isaac and Olive was George who married Bessie Boatwright, of Lovett, Georgia. Their son, James C. Bower, the second, proudly and honorably bears his great grandfather's name.
Although born in Laurens County in 1905, Wilkinson is glad to claim James C. Bowers, the second, as her own, he having spent a portion of his boyhood here attending school and living with his aunt, Mrs. Matthews. In 1922 he enlisted in Company A, 29th Infantry at Fort Benning. During his term of service he was transferred to the Medical Department at Fort Benning. At the expiration of his term he re-enlisted in the Medical Department of the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York, where he is serving as Record Clerk and Statistician. Those who know him best predict a brilliant career.
James Byrom Bower, the son of James W., enlisted June 15, 1917, shortly after the entrance of America into the World War, in the 17th Engineers, (Ry) and served with honor throughout the war, as Regimental Photographer, his foreign service dating from August 12, 1917, to March 11, 1919. He was one of the first to go across, and one of the last to return. He married Mary Julia Jor- dan. Two daughters of James W. are: Bernice, m. V. P. Stevens,

resides at Poulan, Georgia, they have one son, Bower; Ione, m. John Merritt, and has one girl, Ann Eleanor.
Aurora was one of the most accomplished young women Irwin- ton has ever produced. Many remember her as a belle of Wilkinson. And with it all she was lovable, charming and possessessed every trait of character essential to a noble womanhood. She inherited all that was best from her forbears,-nobility of mind, and purity of heart. In August, 1880, she was married to Charles Hodges, (his grandfather, Chas. Rice, was Secretary of State, at Milledgeville), editor of the Southerner and Appeal. He sold his newspaper interest and went to Washington, D. C., having accepted a government position in the Postoffice Department where he labored thirty years, then was pensioned by the government. Their children : Celestine, Washington, D. C .; Bower, Washington, D. C .; Aurora Spransy, Milwaukee, Wis .; Chas. R., Pittsburg, Penn.
Henrietta Flora Bower, who first married W. H. Avant of Oconee, Ga., where she lived for a number of years, now the wife. of W. C. Matthews, a most estimable gentleman, is at present the only representative of these prominent families living in Irwinton. Justly proud of her ancestors, she has painstakingly prepared a family history running back for centuries, and it is from her records the greater portion of the foregoing sketch is compiled, many of the most interesting incidents, for lack of space, being omitted. In addi- tion to her historical writings which contain other interesting mat- ters relating to Georgia history. Mrs. Matthews has inherited her father's artistic temperament, her paintings indicating an artist of merit.
CASWELL BRANAN
Of the sturdy pioneers of Wilkinson whose strength of body was only exceeded by their strength of character may well be mentioned Caswell Branan (1807-1897). Born in Morgan County, Georgia, August 10, 1807, the son of James and Sarah Tommy Branan, both natives of Virginia, and grandson of Kenyon Branan, originally from Wales, he with his parents moved to Wilkinson in 1810. James and his wife are buried in the family cemetery in Ivey Dis- trict once known as the Fairchild, now the Lord Cemetery.
He seems to have been a successful planter of his day and to have
465
HISTORY OF WILKINSON COUNTY
amassed considerable wealth on his plantation where the home of C. E. Gladin now stands. In 1854 the tax digest indicates his wealth to be considerable. In addition to his slaves and land he owned a very valuable cotton ginnery which was destroyed by Sherman's army, while he was serving his country by looking after and providing for women and their families, whose husbands were serving in the army. He was too old to enlist in the army, but furnished four sons, who bravely defended the noble cause.
After the war, with his slaves freed and his property swept away, undismayed he went to work and rebuilt much of his shattered for- tunes. Prized for more than his material wealth by his descendants, is that reputation for honor, uprightness and high regard for duty, which he bore. He lived an honest, temperate, Christian life, always observing the Golden Rule. He never used vulgarity, profanity, nor spoke ill of others. Unusual, in his day he never used tobacco and he was one of the original advocates of prohibition in Wilkinson, all his life being a total abstainer.
He was married June 14, 1832, to Gracie Barnett Herndon. Their children were :
Sarah Jane (b. 1833, m. William Montgomery of Taylor Co.).
James Franklin (1835-1897, m. Emily Gardner about 1860, their children were : Ellen, Iverson, Alonza, Pleona, Wallie, Alvah and Horace).

Gracie (b. March 12, 1847-Jan. 12, 1912, m. James T. Lingo, they had no children ) .
Robert (m. Katie Cooper of Baldwin County, their children were : Claude, Beulah, Bonnie and Robert, Jr).
His wife, who preceded him to the grave twenty-six years, died of a stroke of paralysis, Feb. 9, 1871. After this he lived a quiet home life, faithful to the memory of her, by remaining a widower the rest of his life.
He had house-keepers who cared for his home and welfare, and treated him with the utmost respect, always addressing him as "Un- cle Caswell."
His daughter, Mrs. Gracie Lingo, and her husband, moved into his house with him a few years before his death, and administered to his needs the rest of his life.
He always enjoyed the best of health, owing to his temperate and regular habits. He was never sick enough to be in bed or have a phy- sician until five weeks prior to his death, he had a partial stroke of paralysis, from which he never recovered. He died March the 15th, 1897, and his remains were interred in the family cemetery near his home.

NIRS. FANNIE BURNEY BROADFIELD
Mrs. Fannie (Burney) Broadfield was born Nov. 14, 1863, in Wilkinson County at "Elmvale," the beautiful country home near Jeffersonville, the daughter of John Franklin and Jane E. (Stanley) Burney. In 1871 her parents moved to Macon in order that their children might have the benefit of good schools. After finishing the graded schools and two years of high school, she completed her education at Wesleyan then "Wesleyan Female College" in the class of 1881. She was married in 1886 to Walter B. Broadfield of Dennis, Putnam County, Ga. Their children were: Lila Dean, (m. Dr. J. H. Duggan, of Wilkinson Co., Ga., May, 1917) ; Janie Burney, (m. N. D. Horton, of Davisboro, Ga., Oct., 1927). Mrs. Broadfield is a most excellent business woman, possessing executive ability to an extraordinary degree. During her husband's lifetime
467
HISTORY OF WILKINSON COUNTY
she was an able help-meet and since his death she has successfully managed her large farm and other property.
Mrs. Broadfield is descended from one of the antebellum aristo- cratic families of the county. The history of the Burney family has been traced back for centuries and in every generation there are outstanding members. The first of this family to settle in Wilkinson was Arthur Burney, (b. Oct. 3, 1773, d. May 10, 1842), the great- grandfather of Mrs. Broadfield, and is frequently mentioned in the public affairs of the county. He married Sarah Catherine Blount, (b. 1775, daughter of Edmond Blount, of Burke Co.) in 1799, and his children as shown by his will which is in the possession of Mrs. J. H. Duggan were: Gatsy, (b. Oct. 20, 1799, m. Ist Joseph Brown, 2nd Frederick; Greene Blount, (b. Apr. 7, 1800, m. 1822, died in Twiggs Co.); Eleanor (Nelly), (b. Aug. 21, 1802, m. John Cason of Leon Co., Fla., d. Sept. 6, 1840) ; Nancy, (b. June 30, 1811, m. Israel Beard, Esq.) ; Mary, (b. Apr. 7, 1807, m. Ben- jamin Byrd, Esq., d. 1848) ; Penelope, (b. Jan. 30, 1808, m. James Lawrence Hart of Leon Co., Fla., the son of Edward Hart) ; Wil- liam, (b. June 6, 1809, m. Martha Slater) ; Susan, (b. Apr. 17, 1814, m. John Sandford Hart, Leon Co., Fla., son of Edward Hart of Twiggs Co., Ga., ) ; David, (b. June 6, 1816, d. June 14, 1849, unmarried) ; Arthur (b. Feb. 24, 1820).
Green Blount Burney, the grandfather of our subject was for many years considered one of Wilkinson County's ablest men and took a deep interest in all the public affairs of the county. He first comes into prominence in the Indian War of 1836, when, as Cap- tain of the Wilkinson Greys, a Company of mounted infantry, he distinguished himself.
When Talmage Institute was incorporated by action of the Leg- islature, Green Blount Burney was made one of the original trus- tees and is said to have given the land upon which the Institute was built.
He was married in 1822 to Sarah, (b. Jan. 10, 1802, d. 1870), the daughter of Anson Ball and his wife, Phebie (Jenkins) Ball, (granddaughter of Senator John Ball and wife - Robinson ) and their children were: John Frank, (b. June 22, 1823, m. Ist Jan. 17, 1849, Margaret Elizabeth Stanley (b. Oct. 15, 1828, d. Aug. 16, 1855). Their children were: Julius A., (b. Oct. 16, 1850, m. July 8, 1873, d. Aug. 16, 1914, m.

Oct. 15, 1915), their children were: Rowell Adolphus (b. Sept. 16, 1859, m. Dec. 6, 1883, d. Feb. 14, 1896), Arthur Eugene Burney (b. June 30, 1862, d. Oct. 30, 1914), Fannie Janette, b. Nov. 14, 1863, m. Feb. 25, 1886), Robert Emmet (b. Nov. 3, 1866, m. Sept. 17, 1891, d. Mar. 14, 1906) ; Milton A. Burney, (b. Aug. 18, 1824, m.

Green Blount Burney lived for many years prior to the war on his plantation. Among his possessions was the old water mill just above Long Bridge which is still known as Burney's Mill. He died in 1866, and is buried in the old family cemetery near the county line, west of Ball's Church.
It is handed down that Sarah Ball was one of the flower girls at the Lafayette reception in 1825, at Milledgeville.
Arthur Eugene, the son of John F. and Jane Stanley Burney was born June 30, 1862. He served as Clerk of the Superior Court for several years. Possessing a magnetic personality, an inherent spirit of friendliness, and an unquestioned loyalty, he attracted to himself a wide circle of friends. He was of that unusual type of politician whose manifestations of friendship sprang not from a fawning desire to curry favor but carried the weight of sincerity. He died October 30, 1914, and is buried in the Masonic Cemetery at Irwinton by the side of his mother.
J. W. BROOKS, SR.
James Wesley Brooks, Sr., son of John Brooks and Martha (Mercer) Brooks, was born Dec. 3, 1849, in Wilkinson County. Mr. Brooks first attended the Johnson School. In 1858 his father moved to Murphy, Ala., but foreseeing the war, returned to Wil- kinson. His next school was Bethel.
When Sherman's Army arrived, Mr. Brooks and his brother, John Pink, had been sent to Durham's Mill, each riding a swift horse. Suddenly almost upon them they saw a large body of blue- clad horsemen coming at a gallop. As they turned their horses about, the leader of the Yankees commanded, "Halt! Halt!" "Lie down
469
HISTORY OF WILKINSON COUNTY
on your horse and lay the whip!" Mr. Brooks cried to his brother, doing the same, each expecting a volley of bullets to be fired at them. For some reason the pursuers did not fire, evidently bent on capturing the boys' horses. Though hotly pressed they gained on the enemy. Passing the home of Henry Wood, Mr. Brooks called to the family to tell the Yankees they had gone another direction (later he learned they did). Fearing to ride home lest the enemy would overtake them, after two miles at a dead run, the boys turned and made for "Beachtree Hammock" in Big Sandy Swamp, which they could reach by crossing a marsh, and where they knew no Yan- kee would ever find them, All the afternoon they waited here. Near night leaving their horses securely tied they walked to the edge of the swamp where Mr. Brooks climbed a tall tree to reconnoitre. No Yankees visible, the boys ventured home.
Mr. Brooks was first married to Miss Narcissa Caroline San- ders. Their children : Luella, m. Ira B. Stinson ; Emma, m. Charles H. Sapp; Lizzie (deceased) m. Homer Lindsey; Frances, m. Wal- ter McWilliams; Lydia, m. Erasmus H. Lewis; Carrie, m. C. A. Smith ; William Wesley, m. Gussie Simpson. His second marriage was to Mrs. Delonie Farmer Lord.
Mr. Brooks as a Democrat has always taken a prominent part in politics. In 1896 he was elected Tax Receiver ; has served several years as Alderman of Gordon, one unexpired term as Mayor and also Trustee of the Gordon School; is a consistent member of the Baptist Church and a Mason. In the business world Mr. Brooks has proved a success. He has amassed a competence for his declining years, owns considerable property and successfully operates his mer- cantile business in Gordon. His business acumen together with his sterling character has won for him the confidence of his fellow men.
J. W. BROOKS, JR.
James Wesley Brooks, Jr., son of John Pink Brooks and Sara Frances (Ward) Brooks, was born August 21, 1883, near Gordon. His great-grand father, Philip Brooks, was one of the pioneer set- tlers of the county, coming here from South Carolina, his wife's maiden name being Elizabeth Ingram. Their son, John, the grand- father of the subject of this sketch, was born 1830 and married
470
HISTORY OF WILKINSON COUNTY
Martha Mercer who was born in 1833, the daughter of Hyman and Nicy ( Brewer ) Mercer. In October 1861, when the Companies of the 57th Georgia Regiment were being organized, John Brooks enlisted in the Barkaloo Guards, Co. D, and was promptly elected 2nd Corporal. Shortly thereafter he was chosen Color Sergeant of the Regiment. His regiment being ordered to Kentucky, he bore these colors in the battle of Richmond, Kentucky. Later the 57th being ordered to join Pemberton's army in Mississippi, he arrived in time to take part in the bloody battle of Baker's Creek. In the crisis of this battle, when Pemberton's line was breaking, orders came for the 57th which had been kept in reserve, to advance and close the gaps through which the Federals were pouring. As the regiment moved forward in charge formation it was subjected to a heavy barrage of shot and shell, and as the Colors appeared the fire was concentrated on them. Man after man carrying the flag was shot down until the entire color guard with the exception of Brooks had been killed. As the last man fell and the flag was falling he leaped forward, seized the staff and through the thickest of the fight bore it onward until he too fell mortally wounded.
Mr. Brooks obtained his education in the public schools of Wil- kinson; is a member of the Gordon Baptist Church; a member of the Masonic fraternity. He was married February 5, 1905, to Miss Clifford Gertrude Lewis, the daughter of William Green and Clifford Caledonia (Hughes) Lewis. (See Lewis Family sketch) . On her father's side, Mrs. Brooks comes of a line of notable an- cestry. On her mother's side she is descended from the prominent Hughes family, from which so many able men and women have sprung.
It is quite a coincidence that Jonathan Brooks, the Virginia Revolutionary patriot, believed by some to be Mr. Brooks great- great-grandfather, was married to .Miss Annie Lewis, who had emigrated from Wales. Especially so in view of the fact that the Lewis family of which Mrs. Brooks is a member claims to be of Welch descent. (See History of Ga. Baptists, p. 62).
Mrs. Brooks is recognized as one of the prominent women of the county, has served as President of the Wilkinson County Chap- ter, United Daughters of the Confederacy; is a member of the Gordon Baptist Church, President of the B. W. M. U. and also President of the Gordon Woman's Club.
471
HISTORY OF WILKINSON COUNTY
For the past twenty years Mr. Brooks has played a prominent part in the public life of Wilkinson County, is, perhaps as widely known as any other man in the county. His jovial disposition makes friends easily.
During the years, 1918 and 1919, he served as County Commis- sioner. For the past six years he has served as Superintendent of Roads and Warden of the Wilkinson County chaingang. Although during this time the roads of the county have been greatly improved, Mr. Brooks is planning for much greater improvement in the months to come. The vast mileage which he has to keep in repair prevents as rapid a construction of permanent roads as he would like, but in spite of his handicaps he has been able to construct ac- cording to State and Federal specifications the greater portion of the Macon-Irwinton highway. In addition to this he has built an excellent highway from Gordon to the Baldwin County line, an- other from the Baldwin County line to Toomsboro, thence to the Laurens County line.
Mr. and Mrs. Brooks have one son, Cosby, born July 7, 1906, and one daughter, Miss Leila May, born December 2, 1907. The former, after finishing the Gordon High School in 1925 attended the Georgia-Alabama Business College in Macon and now holds a responsible position with the Macon Terminal Co.
The latter, after graduating the same time with her brother at- tended the Georgia State College for Women at Milledgeville, re- ceiving her B. S. Degree from that institution in 1929.
