Notes:

- According to the 1860 Houston County, Georgia, Michael could not read or write at that time.

- Michael moved from Houston to Washington County between 1860 - 6 May 1862 (when he was fighting in the Civil War). Stories of the family tell that Michael left Houston County because he knew about a murder and a rich landowner paid him to leave. [Photocopy, in my possession, of a page from Union Baptist Church in Washington County.]

- During the Civil War, Michael fought with the Bartow Unit of the 54th Georgia Infantry, Company C (Confederate States of America). He claimed his residence as Emanuel County. He lost him arm in the Battle of Kennesaw. He said, "Hell, Fire, Damn!"

- As of 06 May 1862, Michael was a private in his regiment. A transcript of a muster roll read, "...Wounded in right arm, necessitating amputation, at Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia. 27 June 1864." Was known as "One Arm Mike."

Notes:

- Jim and Vissie are living with Carrington and Ryle families in Wilkinson County in 1850. By 1860, they are living with on the Turner lands in Hancock County. Jim is overseer for Wilson, the planter. [Steve Turner, fellow Researcher]

- Jim was a member of Company B, 66th Regiment of Georgia, from Dekalb County. The roll for July-August 1864 states that he deserted. Georgia state pension records state he served in the Confederate Army until the end of the war. In a history book about Hancock County, a biography of a Martin Johnson says Johnson, as Sgt of Co I, 59th Reg, called the Turner Guards, was wounded at Deep Bottom, Virginia 16 August 1864. Jim Turner pulled him off the battlefield when he was shot. There is no evidence of Jim as a member of the Turner Guards. The Turner Guards were named for Colonel Thomas Mickleberry Turner, possibly Wilson's cousin. There is also evidence of a request for Jim to receive aide later in life as a disabled veteran. The document says he was shot in the hand at the Battle of Peach Tree Creek, near Atlanta. He was with his command when the Army surrendered at Greensboro, North Carolina. [Steve Turner, Fellow Researcher]

- James and his wife "lived in Hancock County, near Buffalo Creek and old Darien Baptist Church, which was on the Washington - Hancock County Road or Indian Trail Road. The exact location of the home is not known, but a grandson related that on the place were rocks where the Indians ground corn near the creek. The turners were a farming family."

- In 1860, Williamson was one of the largest slave owners in Houston County, Georgia with 81.

- Williamson invested in the Southwestern Railroad, that ran from Columbus to Ft. Valley, Georgia. His original stock made him wealthy, and the railroad helped save the lives of his son (Seaborn) and grandson (Robert Braswell) when they were trying to get home on furlough after surrendering at the siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi in the summer of 1863. [Source: Hell's Broke Loose in Georgia by Scott Walker]

- "The Mims Place, as locals called it, contained fifteen hundred acres of corn and cotton fields, fruit orchards, pecan trees, pastureland, and dense woods bisected by meandering Mossy Creek. Williamson Mims had built an assortment of mills along the creek bank. It took all eighty-five of his slaves to plant and harvest crops, subdue nature, and master the skills and crafts needed to run a successful plantation." [Source: Hell's Broke Loose in Georgia by Scott Walker]

Notes:

- According to fellow researcher, Steve Turner, Wilson was active in politics in the 1850s. He was a member of the American Party, called the No-Nothings, and was a delegate to go to Atlanta to choose candidates for upcoming elections. The Civil War put an end to the American Party.

Wilson married Nancy Herring on 20 Jul 1820 in Georgia. Nancy was born between 1805 and 1807 in Georgia; died between 1860 and 1880. [Group Sheet]

Other Events:

• Census: 1810, Lancaster, South Carolina, USA
• Census: 1820, Baldwin, Georgia, USA

Notes:

According to his widow's War of 1812 pension application, which was rejected, John was drafted into service on 1 October 1813 at Camden, Lancaster Dist., South Carolina. He was discharged on 15 March 1814 at Charleston, SC. Service records (viewed online at Fold3) show a John Kenington/Kennington served in McWillie's 2nd Regiment, South Carolina Militia. Was her application rejected due to a spelling error?

John married Nancy Watson on 16 Nov 1812 in Lancaster, South Carolina, USA. Nancy was born about 1796 in South Carolina, USA; died in 1886; was buried in Berlin, Colquitt, Georgia, USA. [Group Sheet]

• Census: 1840, Wilkinson, Georgia, USA
• Residence: Jun 1873, Moultrie, Colquitt, Georgia, USA

---

A witness signature included on Nancy's (1873) War of 1812 widow's pension application was of a Thomas Canington. Online family trees suggest this was actually Thomas Canington Williams, son of Caroline Canington Williams. Caroline being a daughter of John and Nancy.

Listed near Nancy for the 1840 Wilkinson County, Georgia Federal census were Wm Cannington (age 20-30) and Britton Cannington (age 20-30). Some online family trees suggest these men were half-brothers of Nancy's husband John. Others suggest they were sons of John and Nancy (which was my first thought).
