CONE, WILLIAM
1792-1880
CLINCH
JOHN J. NORTH was born in Colleton District, South Carolina, November 16, 1792, a son of John North. He came to lower Wayne County and lived there about 1810-1827, when he moved to the southern part of Ware County near the Florida line, in what is now Echols County. After living there about thirty-five years, he sold out and moved to present Clinch County where he bought out the plantation of Jonathan Knight and which had been the old home place of Henry Joyce (q.v.). Here he lived until his death June 19, 1880. He was buried in a new cemetery on his land within sight of his residence, and his was the second grave there; the first grave being that of his grandson, George P. Livingston, who had been killed by a train at Dupont the day before Mr. North died. The spot for the burial had been previously picked out by Mr. North for his own burial, and is now known as the North Cemetery.
Mr. North was married four times and had a total of seventeen children. The first wife was Mary Crews, a daughter of Micajah Crews of Camden County; the marriage took place March 8, 1816. She died when her first child was born and Mr. North married again. Her name is Mary Bandy. After her death about 1830, Mr. North married again. The third wife was named Maria but her maiden name is not remembered. The fourth wife was Rebecca McMillan, daughter of Henry McMillan of Barnwell District, South Carolina. She was born March 22, 1819, and died June 4, 1893, and was buried by her husband in the North Cemetery. The children by the four marriages were as follows:
First wife: Mary Crews 1799-1817
1. Mary E. B.
Second wife: Mary Bandy 1792-?
2. James
3. Martha
4. Sarah Isabel b. 1825, died single about 1860. She was baptized into Bethel Church, May 5, 1844; died a member.
5. Mariah
6. William B.
Third wife: Maria ?
7. Caleb
8. John
9. Ephriam
10. Edward
11. Palester
12. Lydia
13. Gilpin
14. William L. b. 1846, died in boyhood.
Fourth wife: Rebecca McMillan
15. Samuel
16. Charles H.
17. Minnie M.
John J. North fought in the Indian Wars of 1836-1842, and served as Captain of the militia in the 719th district of' Ware County (territory now in Clinch and Echols Counties on Florida line). He was commissioned Captain September 7, 1840. His company was in active service in 1842 patrolling the state line while the Indian War was going on over in Florida after they had been driven out of Georgia.
Capt. North was Justice of Peace in the 719th district, Ware County, 1833-1835 and again 1843-1846. He served as a Justice of the Inferior Court of Clinch County, 1857-1861.
Capt. North was an early member of Bethel Primitive Baptist Church in Echols County. He was baptized into it June 14, 1843. His third wife, Rebecca, was received under the watch care of the church January 7, 1844 until she could get her letter from Smyrna Church in Wayne County but there appears no further record of her membership. Mr. North served as church clerk from 1843 until February 1849, and again from December 8, 1849 to October 12, 1850. On the latter date he was expelled. He was restored 1856 and again was church clerk 1856-1858. Expelled again 1860, he was restored July 11, 1868. He continued as a member of Bethel Church until his death.
Mrs. Rebecca McMillan North was received on "confession of faith" into Bethel Church, September 14, 1856. She was dismissed by letter June 17, 1882, and on June 2, 1883 she united by letter with Prospect Church near her home. She was dismissed by letter November, 1885 from Prospect, and apparently had not placed her membership elsewhere when she died in 1893.
Capt. North lost four sons in the Civil War, as shown above. Caleb North enlisted in Company "H", 29th Georgia Vol. Infantry Regiment, which was inducted into the service at Stockton, October 1st, 1861. He died of disease at home while on furlough, November 21, 1863. He was buried at Ramah Church in Clinch County. He left a wife and five little children. The widow took the children and went to Putnam County, Florida, where they grew to maturity and married, Florida being her old home before marriage.
John North and Ephriam North both died in the Confederate military service but their service record has not yet been secured.
Edward North enlisted with his brother, Caleb, in the same company and served until his death of disease, December 31, 1863, in a military hospital at Kingston, Georgia. He was probably buried there. He was survived by his wife; they had no children.
William B. North, a son of Capt. North, moved from Clinch County to Putnam County, Florida, about 1890, where his large family of nine sons and three daughters grew up and married.
James North, another son, remained in Clinch County and died there. He had ten children.
Note: The loss of the old North family Bible in recent years has made it impossible to learn the names of the second and third wives. List of the children as given above, is from memory of living descendants supplemented by the Census.
The North home where Capt. North died is still standing but badly dilapidated. The first court in Clinch County in 1850 was held there.

Dave, the North Cemetery is located west of Homerville on US 84. Turn right
onto North Cemetery rd just before Dupont or go into Dupont and turn right in
the middle of "town". The road runs between the two places.
The old North homestead was just at the end of the northern end of the
cemetery. The Knights own the property now, which is unusual since they are
the decedents of the Knights who John J bought the property from in the 1800s.

General Notes: Husband - James Thomas
James Thomas was born 1760, in St. George's Parish, South Carolina. His father was Gilshot Thomas, who settled in the Province of Georgia sometime prior to 1790, this being the year he made his first petition for land.
James Thomas and his father, Gilshot Thomas, were both soldiers in the Revolutionary War and fought together, in the same company, in the South Carolina State Militia. This company was commanded by Lieutenant Jacob Buxton and Colonel Alexander Garden.
James Thomas was married, about 1783, to Sarah Banner. It is not known , at this time, who her parents were. James is listed in the U. S. Census of 1790 in Beaufort County, SC as head of the family, with a wife and three sons under the age of 16. He and his wife had at least seven children in all, but only five are known at this time.
James Thomas, and other members of his family, moved to Liberty County, GA about 1807, and he is listed in the tax digest of Liberty County, continuously, from 1808 to 1828. He and his wife Sarah, were among the first members of Jones Creek Baptist Church, when it was newly constituted, on April 22, 1810. James served as clerk of Jones Creek Baptist Church from March 23, 1822 to December 22, 1822. Sarah Banner Thomas died in Liberty County before 1820.
Son, Absalom E. Thomas, appears in the 1820 Census of Georgia in Appling County. In 1824, Ware County was formed, and he was cut out of Appling into the new county. He was elected one of the first Justices of the Ware County Inferior court., and served out his full term of four years. About 1829, James Thomas, and other members of the family, followed Absalom to Ware County. Sons, Banner, Lewis, and father James, are listed in the 1830 Census of Georgia as heads of families. They were living, adjoining each other in Ware County in the area that is now Pierce County. The farms were located about five miles north of Patterson, between Patterson and Blackshear.
The son, Absalom, was listed in the 1830 Census in Ware County in the area that is now Clinch County.
His farm was located about 12 miles south of Homerville, Georgia. Absalom was killed in an Indian uprising about 1838. He had loaded his family in wagons to go for safety. He returned to warn his neighbors and was never seen or heard from again. In the 1830 Census he had a wife and one son, under five years of age, and five daughters. The daughter, Rebecca, who was married to George Newbern, is the only descendant for whom any record is known.
James Thomas died about 1835, and is buried in the Shiloh Cemetery of the Primitive Baptist Church in Pierce County. His grave is unmarked.

1745-1822
CAMDEN-BULLOCH.
William Cone distinguished himself in the Revolutionary War, and for his services was given a special grant of Confiscated lands in Effingham County by a "resolve" of the General Assembly, dated February 22, 1785. The deed was made to him the next day (see deed book "A", page 1, Effingham County). He served as major of the 1st Battalion, Richmond County militia.
Mr. Cone was born in North Carolina "in the Pee Dee Section" in 1745, and was a son of his father of the same name. The elder Cone was a Revolutionary soldier also, and was granted 287-1/2 acres of bounty land in Washington County, Georgia, on the certificate of Col. James Martin, April 24, 1784; the certificate referred to him as an "invalid soldier". At the same time, on the certificate of Col. James McNeil, dated February 28, 1784, the younger Cone was granted 250 acres of bounty land in Washington County (see p. 48, Knight's Roster of the Revolution in Georgia).
William Cone, the subject, was married in North Carolina in 1765 to Miss Keziah Barber, born 1750, a daughter of William Barber, R.S. Mrs. Cone's sister, Casandra, married Matthew Carter, R.S. The two families of Cone and Carter moved in 1779 to South Carolina and located in Cheraw District, and sometime later they moved on to Georgia during the War, locating in Effingham County, later being cut into Bulloch County. The Carters later moved to Jackson County, Mississippi 1811. Mr. and Mrs. Cone had six daughters and three sons, but the names of two of the daughters are unknown to the compiler. To them were born:
1. Aaron
2. Jane
3. William
4. Joseph
5. Keziah
6. Sarah
7. Nancy
Maj. Cone served as Representative from Effingham County, 1785, 1787. He acquired lands on the Satilla River in what was then Glynn but now Camden County-and lived there briefly in the 1790s. He moved back to his plantation "Ivanhoe" in what was then Effingham County. In 1796, in the creation of Bulloch out of Effingham, he was cut into the new county and was foreman of its first Grand Jury, May Term, 1797, Superior Court.
In November 1801, Maj. Cone sold out his Bulloch property to David Kennedy (Deed Book "A", page 70, Bulloch County), and moved back to Glynn County. In 1805, in the territorial changes affecting Camden and Glynn and Wayne counties, he was transferred to Camden County. Maj. Cone continued to live in Camden until about 1815 when he moved back to Bulloch County and lived with his son, Aaron, until his death in 1822. Aaron was appointed administrator of his father's estate, January 6, 1823. Mrs. Cone died while they lived in Camden County.
The elder William Cone (father of the subject) lived near the South Carolina line, near or on the PeeDee River. He served in the Cherokee War in South Carolina 1759-1760 as a private under Col. George G. Powell, from old Craven county, South Carolina. He was also a Revolutionary soldier, as already stated above.
