General Notes: Husband - John J. North

NORTH, John J.
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. b. 1817, m. ______Hamilton. Parents of J. R. G. Hamilton, of Stockton, Georgia.

Second wife: Mary Bandy 1792-?
2. James b. 1818, m. Nancy Crews, daughter of Stephen.
3. Martha b. 1821, m. William B. Crews, son of Stephen.
4. Sarah Isabel b. 1825, died single about 1860. She was baptized into Bethel Church, May 5, 1844; died a member.
5. Mariah b. 1826, never married; died September 16, 1886.
6. William B. b. 1828, m. Nancy Inman, daughter of John A. T. Inman.

Third wife: Maria ?
7. Caleb b. 1834, m. Mehala Wilkinson, died in C. S. Army
8. John b. 1836, died single in C. S. Army.
9. Ephriam b. 1837, died single in C. S. Army.
10. Edward b. 1840, m. Mary Morgan, daughter of Thomas C. Died in C.S.A.
11. Palester b. 1842, m. (1) Henry P. Livingston, June 11, 1861 (2) Charles Conover, March 31, 1874.
12. Lydia b. 1843, m. Samuel J. C. Blount.
13. Gilpin b. 1845, died in boyhood.
14. William L. b. 1846, died in boyhood.

Fourth wife: Rebecca McMillan
15. Samuel b. 1855,died about 1872.
16. Charles H.b. 1856, m. (1) Belie Newbern, daughter of George W. (2) Minnie Kirkland, daughter of W. F.
17. Minnie M.b. 1859, m. Francis M. Anderson.

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.

Census References: 1830, 1840, Ware; 1850, Ware (portion cut into Clinch); 1860, Echols; 1870, Clinch.




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.
