ROBERT F. CARTER, merchant-farmer, Ellerslie, Harris Co., Ga., son of Neal and Mary (Fleming) Carter, was born in Talbot county, Ga., in 1852. His paternal grandparents, Jessie and Sarah (Neal) Carter, were natives of Virginia, whence they migrated to Georgia and settled in Warren county. He served as a soldier in the last war with Great Britain, and, later, moved to Talbot county. . He represented his county one term in the general assembly. He was strongly opposed to secession, and when Gen. Wilson's raiders passed through Harris county burning houses and destroying property they left his unmolested. Mr. Carter's father was born in Warren county in 1817, but early in life moved to Talbot county, where he made his permanent home. His maternal grandfather, Robert Fleming, was a native of Virginia, came to Georgia in the first quarter of this century, and finally went to Texas, where he died. He was a preacher of some note, and lived a self-sacrificing and useful life. Mr. Carter was raised on the farm, and was given as good an education as could be had in view of the unsettled condition of the country when he was growing up. In 1872 he embarked with small capital in a general merchandising business in Ellerslie, and has conducted it with the most gratifying success. His trade has steadily increased, so that now he is doing as large a business as any merchant in the county, and is prosperous. He has bought a lot of land every year for the last ten years, and in addition to his merchandising conducts a large farm, a ginnery and a mill. He ranks high socially, and as a farmer, merchant and financier. Mr. Carter was married in 1876 to Miss Camella Walton, born in Talbot county in 1854, daughter of John H. and Mary (Worthen) Walton. He was an early settler in Talbot county, a soldier in the Seminole war, and became very prominent in the county, which he represented in the general assembly. Of the children born to them five survive: Jessie, Robert F., Susie, Walton C. and Camella. He is a master Mason, and himself and wife are members of the Baptist church.
JESSE COX, farmer, Mulberry Grove, Harris Co., Ga., son of Asa and Maria (Roundtree) Cox, was born in Jones county, Ga., in 1815. His paternal grand- father, Cary Cox, was a native of South Carolina, was a farmer and a soldier in the patriot army during the revolutionary war. Mr. Cox's father was born in Edgefield district, S. C., whence he moved early in life to Jones county. He was a soldier in the last war with Great Britain. His maternal grandfather, Round- tree, was a native of North Carolina, but moved to South Carolina, where he died. He also was a soldier in the revolutionary war. Mr. Cox was reared on the farm and received only a limited education. He has been a farmer all his life, and has been successful and prosperous. He had accumulated a quite large property before the war-largely in negroes, which of course he lost, besides sustaining very serious loss and damage otherwise. Beginning almost anew after the close of the war he has by energy and industry and good management accumulated a quite large estate and enjoys a competency. In 1878 he was elected to represent the county in the general assembly, and has been a justice of the peace for thirty or more years-an index of the high estimation in which he is held by his fellow-

citizens. Mr. Cox was married in 1839 to Miss Lucinda J. Webb, born in 1817, daughter of Elias and Nancy (Mama) Webb, early settlers of Harris county. Seven of the children born to them are yet living: Ann M., Narcissa, John J., William Virgil, Carrie, Martin and Exie. The mother of these children, a worthy and useful member of the Baptist church, died early in 1864. Late in the same year he married Miss Elizabeth Moultrie, born in Harris county in 1834, daughter of John D. Moultrie, who was born in South Carolina, and moving to Georgia, was one of the earliest settlers of Harris county, and is still enjoying life there. Mr. Cox has been particularly careful to give his children a good education. He is a master Mason, and himself and wife are members of the Baptist church.
COLUMBUS DAVIDSON, farmer, Harris county, P. O., West Point, Troup Co., Ga., son of Albert and Cornelia (Goodman) Davidson, was born in Harris county in 1848. His paternal grandparents, John and Elizabeth (Nichols) Da- vidson, were born in what is now Warren county, Ga. He was of Irish descent, and was a volunteer soldier in the war of 1812. Mr. Davidson's father was born in Warren county in 1812, where he was schooled and grew to manhood on the farm. He served in the Florida war, after which he settled in Harris county, where he has successfully followed farming since. His maternal grandparents were Aaron and Elizabeth (Smith) Goodman. He was a native of North Caro- lina, raised a farmer, and came to Georgia when eighteen years of age, where he married and raised a family. Mr. Davidson grew to manhood on the farm, and received only a limited education. In 1864 he enlisted in Company I, Capt. Moss, Ninth Georgia Militia regiment, with which he gallantly participated in the defense of Atlanta, the battle of Griswoldville (where he was wounded), and obstruct- ing the Union forces when "marching through Georgia." On his return from the war he engaged in farm work, and in 1879 made his first purchase of a small " tract of land, to which he has since gradually made additions until now he has a fine 650-acre plantation under excellent cultivation with a good comfortable home on it. Industrious and frugal, a good farmer and citizen, and entirely relia- ble, he deservedly stands high with his fellow-citizens. Mr. Davidson was married in 1876 to Miss Mattie O. Hutchinson, born in Harris county in 1854, daughter of Nicholas and Mary (Pratt) Hutchinson. He was born and raised in Warren county, Ga., and did faithful and efficient service as a soldier in the late war between the states. Of the children born to Mr. and Mrs. Davidson, two are living: Claude and Eunice.
I LEM DAVIS, farmer, Farley, Harris Co., Ga., son of Samuel and Delilah (Guice) Davis, was born in Lincoln county, Ga., in 1831. His paternal grand- parents, Ransom and Susan Davis, were among the early settlers of Lincoln county. Mr. Davis' father was born in Lincoln county in 1810, was raised a farmer, and made it his life occupation. His maternal grandparents, John and Elizabeth Guice, were native Georgians. He was a soldier in the patriot army during the revolutionary war, and settled early in life in what is now Meriwether county. Mr. Davis was reared on the farm, was educated at country schools, and when grown engaged in farming. In 1862 he enlisted in Company D, Capt. Kennon, Third Georgia regiment, but remained in the service only a short time; being discharged on account of disability. When the war closed he had nothing but good health, good character, a self-reliant spirit, and independent impulses. He now has a good farm, a good home, and the esteem and confidence of his fellow-citizens. Mr. Davis was married in 1849 to Miss Caroline Hadley, born in Harris county in 1830, daughter of Thomas and Delancy (Mullin) Hadley. Six

children of those born to them survive: Cornelia, Elizabeth, Martha, Thomas, John and Leila. The mother of these, an exemplary member of the Baptist church, died in 1872. In 1873 he contracted a second marriage with Miss Mary Spivey, born in Harris county in 1843, daughter of Thomas and Emily (Robin- son) Spivey, early settlers in Harris county. Four children born to them are now living: Emily, Lanie Lou, Lucy and Susie Kate. Mr. Davis is a master Mason, and both are members of the Baptist church.
A DGER S. ELLISON, farmer, Ellerslie, Harris Co., Ga., son of John and Eliza- beth (Patterson) Ellison, was born in Chester district, S. C., in 1827. His grandfather on his father's side was William Ellison, a native of South Carolina. He was a captain in the patriot army during the revolutionary war, and was captured and confined in a prison-ship off the South Carolina coast a long time. He made his native state his home until he died. Mr. Ellison's father was born in South Carolina in 1777, where he was reared and married. He was a farmer and merchant, and migrated to Georgia and settled in Talbot county early in its history, and died there in 1863. His maternal grand- father was John Patterson, who was a native of Ireland, came to this country in 1779, settled in Maryland, served as a soldier in the revolutionary war, and finally settled in South Carolina, where he died. Mr. Ellison was reared on the farm, partly in South Carolina and partly in Talbot county, Ga., to which the family moved when he was young. In 1863 he enlisted in Company C, Capt. Crawford, Third Georgia regiment. He was subsequently transferred to a company com- manded by Capt. Willis, and participated in the battles at Chattanooga, Chicka- mauga, Dalton, Resaca, Rocky Face, the defense of Atlanta and engagements in front of the Union army while "marching through Georgia," and Bentonville, N. C. He was off duty for some considerable time during the war. After it was over he came home to find his horses, mules and other live stock "confiscated," and commenced farming with an exceedingly meager outfit. Nothing daunted he went to work to re-habilitate his farm and recuperate his fortune, in which he has been eminently successful. A good farmer with a splendid farm, and one of the best of managers, he stands now among the foremost of Harris county's pri- vate citizens socially and financially. Mr. Ellison was married in 1850 to Miss Margaret Terry, born in Talbot county in 1831, daughter of Stephen and Sarah (Patterson) Terry, native South Carolinians, who came to Georgia and settled in Talbot county in 1831.

war he served with the militia, or state troops. Before the war he owned a great many slaves, which were freed, and after the war he had to begin life anew. Farm- ing has been his life occupation, with which, its pleasures and satisfactory success, he has been content. With a good farm, a comfortable home, an interesting family, a competency, and the respect of the community, he is satisfied. He is a member of the county board of commissioners.

Subsequently he went to the medical college at Lexington, Ky., from which he was graduated in 1840. On his return home he was associated with his old preceptor, Dr. Stinson-well known all over Meri- wether county as one of the most skillful physicians in the county, and practiced ten years, when he moved to Whitesville. After practicing there some years he moved to his present home. He represented Harris county in the general assem- bly two terms and the senatorial district one term. Being an extensive producer he was exempted from army service during the war. He was a member of the constitutional convention in 1865, and was Freedmen's bureau agent for Harris county three years.

After he was captured he was taken to Port Royal, thence to Fortress Monroe, and from there to the old Capitol prison at Washington city, whence he was finally sent to Fort Delaware, where he was detained as a prisoner until after the surrender, when he was paroled. Returning to his home he engaged in farming, which he has followed ever since, with more than ordinary success. In addition to farming he has established an extensive warehouse business in Hamilton, which has proved to be a very great financial success. He is progressive in all his ideas, enterprising and energetic, financially solid, and one of the most sub- stantial citizens in the county.

He was promoted to the captaincy of Company H, and remained in the service until the surrender. Hc came home from the war pennilcss and went to work as a farm hand, which he did for five years. At the end of that time he bought a farm, and to it he has added as he saved money, until now he has 1,000 acres of farming land equal to any in the county. His success is only another demonstration of what pluck, industry, economy and perseverance can accomplish. As a farmer and a man of practical business sense he ranks with the foremost. In 1888 he was elected to represent the county in the general assembly, and was placed on the committees on ways and means, temperance, journals, and public library.

limited and indifferent schooling. He however educated himself by hard study, sufficiently to undertake teaching, and taught school ten years. In 1858 he bought his first tract of land, to which he has added from time to time by pur- chase until now he owns 3,000 acres of good land. He began his farm life by hard work all day in the field, and by making shingles at night, an article in great demand at the time. As a result he is in possession of a large body of excellent land, a large farm in a fine state of cultivation, enjoys all the prosperity he de- sires, and in the highest degree the respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens. He has now at his home a bale of cotton he made twenty-five years ago. Mr. Jones was married in 1858 to Miss Lucy Anderson, born in Greene county, Ga., in 1835, daughter of Elijah and Phoebe (Clark) Anderson. He was born in 1803 in Greene county, where he died in 1858.

His maternal grandfather, Benjamin Tarver, was one of the very earliest settlers of what is now Jones county. Mr. Lowe was raised in Macon, Ga., where he received his schooling. He began life by clerking in Macon, and continued it until 1843, when he went to Griffin, Ga., and was one of the first settlers there. Subsequently he moved to Harris county and engaged in farming. During the war he was exempted by Gov. Brown from military service, but was commissioned to gather provisions for the army. Toward the close of the war Federal raiders under Gen. Wilson passed through Harris county and burned down all his buildings but his residence, and "confiscated" thirty-two head of mules. But devoting all his energies and his time and attention to the im- provement of his farm, he has it now in good condition, with a comfortable dwelling and substantial outbuildings, and is regarded as one of the financially solid men of Harris county. Mr. Lowe was married in 1850 to Miss Edith F. Kilgore, born in Pike county, Ga., daughter of John V. and Eliza (Woods) Kilgore. He was an early settler of Pike county, was a soldier in the Seminole war, and subsequently died in Harris county.

He was a native Georgian, an early settler of Putnam county, and afterward moved to Harris county. Mrs. Lowe is a consistent member of the Baptist church, and he is a member of the masonic fraternity.
