General Notes: Husband - John Banner Thomas Senior
Banner Thomas, forefather of most of the name in Ware and Pierce Counties, was born in South Carolina during 1785, possibly Beaufort County. His wife, Mary, was daughter of Redden Mixon and Amelia (last name unknown) was born in Georgia during 1793. Banner is the son of James Thomas and Sarah Banner.
The marriage of Banner took place in Liberty County after James and Sarah moved the family from South Carolina. Their marriage bonds were never recorded, as required by law, and the original books have been removed from the Ordinary's office. However, the books found their way into a descendant's hands. Banner Thomas' bond was dated July 11, 1808 and signed by Banner and Redden Mixon, his future father-in-law, as bondsman.
The family moved to Georgia before 1790 but where they first lived in this state has not been ascertained. Banner Thomas and wife Mary had five sons and five daughters in the 1830 census; all these are known except for one daughter. They had ten known children
Banner Thomas and family lived for several years in Liberty and McIntosh counties. He and his wife united with Jones Creek Baptist Church in Liberty (now Long) County, in April, 1823, and were baptized, according to the church records; they were later dismissed by letter, and received by letter into High Bluff Primitive Baptist Church (now in Brantley County), he being received Jan. 7, 1832, and she on June 9, 1832. They died members and were buried in the cemetery there.
The 1820 census shows Banner Thomas and family living in McIntosh County, but he registered in 1825 for the 1827 Land Lottery as a resident of Liberty County, 16th district. Together with his brothers, Lewis and James R. Thomas, and others of the family connection including the Waldrons, they moved from Liberty County to Ware County about 1829-1830, and settled in the 9th land district. Banner Thomas lived there until his death about 1865. He cut out of Ware into Pierce County in 1858.
Mr. Thomas served for several years beginning in 1839 as Captain of the militia in the 590th militia district, Ware County, and was generally called "Capt. Thomas" from this circumstance. He served as a Justice of Ware Inferior Court, 1837-1845."
"He served as a private in the War of 1812 in Capt. Thomas King Gould's company of Georgia militia. He enlisted at Darien, Jan. 12, 1815, and was mustered out Feb. 28, 1815, the war having ended. He was granted bounty-land for this service. (2) Mrs. Thomas was Mary Mixon before marriage and was a sister of Elizabeth, the wife of his brother Lewis Thomas... (4) Capt. Banner Thomas was a son of James and Sarah (Banner) Thomas who lived in the Barnwell District, S.C., before moving to Georgia..."
Banner was also a judge.

1811-1893
CHARLTON
Owen King Mizell, a son of Jesse Mizell (Vol. I), was born Oct. 20, 1811, in Emanuel County, and died at his home in Charlton County, May 30, 1893. He was married twice. His first wife was Miss Nancy White; she died soon after the birth of her first child, Margaret; and Mr. Mizell then married Nancy, daughter of James Griffin (Vol. I). She was born April 3, 1819, in Georgia, and died Aug. 11, 1885. By her all of the following children were born except Mar-
garet, viz:
1. Mary Margaretb. 1841, m. Edward T. Griffin.
2. Sarah C.b. 1845, m. James A. Lowther.
3. Polly Annb. 1846, m. James M. McDuffie from Tenn.
4. Nancyb. 1850, m. Alfred J. Cason.
5. Griffin Kingb. 1854, m. Secession Gowen.
6. Ellenb. 1857, m. Tom Russell from Va.
7. Juliab. 1860, m. Walter B. Baker.
Mr. Mizell, after his first marriage, first settled on Spanish Creek at a point where the old King's Road crossed it in what was then Camden County but which part of Camden was cut into the new County of Charlton in 1854. He lived there until his death, though his death occurred at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Cason. He had a large plantation which was worked by slave labor. On his plantation was a fully equipped blacksmith shop and cotton mill and grist mill and other improvements. He prospered and was rated as very wealthy in his day.
Owen K. Mizell served in the Indian War, in Capt. E. D. Tracy's company of Camden County militia, in several different enlistments from 1837 to 1840. In 1838, he was 1st Sergeant in the company, and at times served as a private. He served as 1st Lieutenant in the Centerville Riflemen, 1836-38.
Mr. Mizell's first public office was Justice of Peace in the 32nd district, Camden County, 1837-1841. On the creation of Charlton County, he was elected one of its first Inferior Court justices, serving 1854-1857. He then served three terms in the legislature as Representative, viz., in 1857-58, 1861-1863 and in 1865-1867.
Owen K. Mizell was an ordained minister in the Primitive Baptist Church. He was originally a member of High Bluff Church where he was baptized July 8, 1843, Later, he transferred by letter to Sardis Church, much nearer to his home, and was ordained there to the ministry in the 1850s. The record of his ordination was burned when the records of Sardis Church were burned in the, home of the late Elder W. 0. Gibson some years ago; so therefore, it cannot be learned just how long he was in the ministry, He was pastor at Sardis Church for many years,
Elder Mizell and his second wife were buried at Sardis Church.

MONK, MALACHI
1805-1886
CLINCH
Malachi Monk was born in Bulloch County, April 22, 1805, a son of William and Jerushia Parrish Monk (Vol. 1). He came with his widowed mother to Lowndes County about 1824. He was married twice. His first wife, Mary Ann, was a sister of Ebenezer DeLoach of Lowndes County, and died soon after the birth of her second child in 1842. Mr. Monk then married Miss Mehala Rice, a daughter of John and Ann Rice (Vol. 1). She was born in Barnwell District, South Carolina December 1, 1814, and died at her home in Clinch County February 18, 1886. There were four children by her. The six children of Malachi Monk were:
1. Hamiltonb. 1837, m. Eliza O'Steen, daughter of John R.
2. Mahlonb. 1842, died, age 17 years.
3. Elizabethb. 1844, m. Henry McMillan.
4. Mary Annb. 1846, m. Jesse Lankford.
5. William R.b. 1849, m. Elizabeth Wetherington, daughter of William.
6. Hiramb. 1850, m. Henrietta Herrin October 25, 1874.
When the Monks moved to this section it was then Irwin County, but soon afterwards, Lowndes County was made out of Irwin. At the first election for county officers, Malachi Monk was elected Coroner and served in this capacity 1825-1829.
Mr. Monk's first home was on lot 465, 9th district of Lowndes County. But in 1843, he sold out and moved to what was then Ware now Clinch County. When Clinch was made out of Ware in 1850, he was living on lot of land 510, 12th district, a mile west of where the town of Dupont now is. But afterwards when the railroad was built through his lands in 1859, he sold out and moved up Suwannoochee Creek a few miles to the north, and bought lands there and lived there until his death. He died September 27, 1886. He and his wife are buried at Prospect Church, Clinch County.
His wife, Mehala, was received into the membership of Union Baptist Church in 1833 by letter from Springtown Church, Barnwell District, South Carolina, before she was married. She was dismissed by letter December 11, 1858, and joined Prospect Primitive Baptist Church nearer her home January 22, 1859. She was dismissed by letter May 10, 1862 and joined Bethany church, Clinch County.
Mr. Monk was a private in Capt. H. W. Sharpe's volunteer troop of then Lowndes County militia in the Indian War in 1836.
