General Notes: Husband - John Riley O'steen


O'STEEN, JOHN RILEY.
1824-1862
CLINCH

John Riley O'Steen, a Confederate captain and casualty, was born in Ware County in 1824. He married Jane James, daughter of Benjamin James (Vol .I). She was born Oct. 19, 1824 in Ware (now Pierce) County. Eight children were born to this marriage:

1. Edmund Staffordb. 1845, died age about 12 years.
2. Elizab. 1847, m. Hamilton Monk.
3. Benjaminb. 1849, m. Mildred Herrin, dau. of Levi.
4. Mariahb. 1851, m. J. E. Bass, Jr.
5. Jonathanb. 1853, m. Mary Ann Dickerson, dau. of R. G.
6. James A.b. 1856, m. Lucretia Tomlinson, dau. of Enoch.
7. Bryantb. 1860, m. Jerushia Tomlinson, dau. of Enoch.
8. Danielb. 1862, m. Mary Cornelius, dau. of George. No issue.

When Clinch County was formed in 1850 out of Ware, Mr. O'Steen and family were cut into the new county. He owned several lots of land with farms on them; these lands were located in the northwest portion of the county. He was an unsuccessful candidate for Representative in 1858.

When the call for more troops went out early in 1862, and the 50th Georgia Volunteer Regiment was being formed out of companies over Wiregrass Georgia, Mr. O'Steen raised a company in Clinch County, and he was elected its Captain. This company, designated as Co. "G", was mustered in March 4, 1862, at Homerville. He was wounded in the battle of Boonesboro, Md., Sept. 14, 1862, and died of his wounds the 23rd of the same month.

In the militia organization which was revived with the advent of the war, Mr. O'Steen was elected 2nd Lieutenant of the 1224th (Homerville) district and commissioned July 2, 1861, and on Aug. 10, 1861, became captain of the company. This service was terminated when he raised the company for Confederate Army service a few months later.

Mrs. O'Steen reared the children to maturity. She died Sept. 23, 1885, and was buried at Bethany Church, Clinch County. She and D. J. Sirmans, a neighbor, were appointed administrators of the estate. Capt. and Mrs. O'Steen were members of Bethany Primitive Baptist Church.

Capt. O'Steen was a half brother of Edmund Stafford (Vol. III), and of Vicy, wife of R. G. Dickerson (Vol. II).

General Notes: Husband - John Milton

John the elder, a musician, was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, where he was a chorister and there embraced Protestantism to the annoyance of his father, who promptly disinherited him. John Milton, on leaving Oxford, went to London "to seek a manner of his fortune." After trying various means of gaining a livlihood, he adopted, in 1595, the profession of scrivener and on the 27th day of February, 1599-1600, was admitted to the company of scriveners. About 1600, he started business for himself in Broadstreet, Cheapside, at the sign of the spread eagle and at about the same time married Sarah, daughter of Paul Jeffrey, merchant taylor of St. Swithens, London. John died in March of 1647, wife Sarah died earlier on April 1637. John was buried March 15, 1647 in St Giles Cripelgate.

Note John Milton is the father of the John (the Poet) Milton, author of "Paradise Lost" and many other works.
