Samuel W. is in Baldwin County court records as administrator of the estate of Mary A. DANIEL, d. 1880, his grandmother.)
"136. Samuel W. Davis Maude Boyer 1883 from Mt. Pelier George E. Bonner Sept. 20, 1891 Cert." This record appears to be the date, 1883, as when Samuel and Maude joined the church. {Register of Members of Zebulon Methodist Church, South - Hancock County, Georgia, pg. 13-21, Margarette Goldsby Gaissert, Compiler, Extractor and Publisher, Transcribed by Scott O. Fraser,(sofraser@aol.com), as understood from text (May 2006)}
"Based on census data alone, Samuel appears to have stayed on or near the Baldwin co. farm or farms of his parents for at least the first 30 years of his life. On the 1880 census, Samuel is enumerated as farming immediately adjacent to the Baldwin Co. farm of his father and married to a Maude, 23 (born 1847). They had two sons Ernest C., 4 (born 1876) and William W., 2 (born 1878). Samuel and Maude likely married about 1875, moved in with one of their parents and, by 1880, was farming part of his father's land which could have been deeded to him by that time." (Davis Family Newsletter, Jack S. Davis Jr., JStuartD1@aol.com)
Samuel and family moved into neighboring Hancock County, Georgia, likely before 1900. Both of his parents are buried in the family plot in Linton Cemetery in Hancock. Their graves showing they died in the late 1890s. The grave of "Samuel W. DAVIS Nov 4, 1847 Jun 19, 1899" is also indexed in Linton Cemetery. According to the cemetery index, he rests between his wife Maude Boyer DAVIS and his father William A. DAVIS who is next to his mother, Martha A. DAVIS and in the same plot with his sons, Cletian and Samuel Durwood, and a Cora Vickers DAVIS. This is particularly curious because the 1910 census of Hancock County names S. W. DAVIS, age 53, as a head of household in which his son Cletien, named as "Cletie" age 34, and his daughter Annie Claud, age 23 live.
1910 U.S. Census, Georgia, Hancock County, Linton, 15 April 1910; Series: T624 Roll: 197 Page: 193: Line 55 DAVIS, S. W. Head F W 53 Wd - 4 4 GA GA US; -- Cletie Son M W 34 S GA GA GA Farmer; -- Annie Claud Dau F W 23 S GA GA GA. Samuel W., widowed, is shown here with two of his children and as widowed, but Maud lives in the home of their son William in the 1920 Hancock County census. Widowed, a euphanism for divorced?
Samuel's grave marker in the Linton Cemetery, as mentioned above, surely is in error on his date of death which must have occurred after the 1910 census.

General Notes: Wife -
Susan E. is named as Samuel W. DAVIS' wife in the 1900 census of Jasper County, Georgia. In 1910 Mary Jane SIMPSON is named in Susan and Samuel's household as mother-in-law, from which it is thought that Susan is Susan E. SIMPSON.

General Notes: Husband -
"As a young man, Charles T. Hayden moved from Connecticut to Independence, Missouri. By 1848, he started running freight wagons on the Santa Fe Trail. In 1858, he bought his own wagons and supplies and established a freighting business in Tucson. In those days before the railroads came to Arizona, Hayden supplied army posts, mining camps, and towns across the territory. One day in the 1860s, Hayden left Tucson on a business trip to Florence and Prescott. When he reached the Salt River, the water was too high, and he had to camp for two days before he could cross. During this time, he climbed up a butte near the river and looked across the valley, noting the potential for development in the area. In November of 1870, Charles T. Hayden and four associates filed a claim in Yavapai County to 10,000 inches of water from the Salt River for the Hayden Milling and Farm Ditch Company. He also filed a homestead declaration on 160 acres in section 15, the land near the butte that would eventually become downtown Tempe.
Charles Hayden is generally credited with being the founder of Tempe. He was the first to establish commerce and industry in the area, which made a permanent settlement possible. When Hayden heard that settlers were building a canal on the south side of the Salt River, he brought his wagons up and offered much-needed tools and supplies for the workers. In 1872 he opened a store and laid the foundation for a flour mill. A canal was extended along the base of the butte to bring water to the mill to turn the grind stones. In 1873, he started building an adobe house with a walled patio. He built a cable-operated ferry on the river, and eventually relocated all of his freighting operations to the Tempe area. The mill was completed in 1874, and the settlement, which was known as Hayden's Ferry, had a blacksmith shop with three forges, a store, an orchard and vineyard.
Hayden was appointed as a federal Judge for the Tucson district in 1858, and he was known as Judge Hayden for rest of his life. He was a strong promoter of education, and was influential in encouraging the Territorial Legislature to choose Tempe as the site for the Territorial Normal School in 1885. He also helped raise money to acquire and donate property for Normal School, which grew to become Arizona State University. Hayden was involved in the development of the community in many ways. He was a director of the Tempe Irrigating Canal Company, a member of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, 1880-1882, a trustee of Tempe School District No. 3 in 1884, and president of the Territorial Normal School Board of Education, 1885-1888."

General Notes: Wife -
"Amanda DAVIS, widow of W. H. DAVIS, and daughter of Noah and Mary (Hearty) REED, natives, respectively, of Massachusetts and Kentucky, was one of two children born to her parents. The other child, Elizabeth, married J. L. ROWLAND. Previous to her marriage to Mr. REED, Mrs. REED had married a man by the name of RAMAGE, and by him became the mother of two children: Lucinda (deceased, wife of Beujamin TRAVIS), and James (who resides in Paducah, Ky.). Mr. REED died in 1845, and Mrs. REED in 1842. Mrs. Amanda DAVIS was born in 1833, and came with her father to Arkansas when quite small. She had very limited educational advantages, and at the age of twenty-two years was united in marriage to George HALBERT. The result of this union was one child, W. H., who resides in Haynes. Mr. HALBERT died December 17, 1856, and in July, 1858, his widow married W. H. DAVIS, who died November 23, 1888. Mr. and Mrs. DAVIS were the parents of seven children, five now living; Richard (died at the age of twenty-five years), T. Jefferson (died at the age of fifteen months), Mary E., Annie, George B., William H. and Harriet A. Mr. DAVIS and his brother, D. W., had always remained together, and the business interests still continue as before his death. W. H. DAVIS had been married previous to his union with Mrs. HALBERT, to Miss Sarah J. BOON, and by her became the father of five children, only two now living: Mrs. RODGERS, of Texas, and David R., who resides in Lee County, Ark. Mrs. DAVIS is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church."

William Milton Davis Sr.
Childhood - Born in Gordon, Ga. in 1890, William Milton Davis (WMD) spent much of his childhood years in school. By the 1900 census he was "away at school" from the family farm in Wilkinson co. One of his sisters said she hardly knew him because he was always away at school. We know little about his youth except that he grew up around Gordon, Milledgeville, and Macon, Ga. His mother died in 1909 when he was 19 years old, the oldest of eight children. Sister Ammonse related that by 1910 they had become somewhat affluent. His father had a big house in town (Milledgeville) and a large farm out of town (Wilk. Co.) which employed an overseer. She recalls that there were servants and her father always had two or three cars in the drive. Sometime between 1908-1911, Bill had a girlfriend named Eddie Dean Sauls. We believe he broke up with her at about that time. After mother Lorena died in 1909, Bill's father William James Davis married his son's girlfriend Eddie Dean! Sister Ammons relates what a good mother Eddie Dean was to her and her siblings. After Bill completed his studies in accounting at Macon Business College he was employed at a car dealership in Macon and then at McCoy Motors in Macon. Bill met Mattie Leora Foshee at a barn dance in Milledgeville and they were married in 1911. Bill subsequently lived in Atlanta, Birmingham, and finally in Baton Rouge where he died. While in Atlanta he barely escaped WW-I as the Armistice was signed shortly before he was to board the train departing for military service.
Career - The first real job we know about this tall, thin, and good-looking man is that he worked as a clerk and later as a bookkeeper for an automobile dealership in Macon (McCoy's). He then moved on to Atlanta bookkeeping for someone and then on to Birmingham about 1917-18 for a Ford dealership. Family lore has it that Bill was the head bookkeeper at the Ford Motor Co assembly plant in Atlanta by 1921 where he is alleged to have developed a "Short Form" of bookkeeping. The short form of bookkeeping was adopted by Ford which led to his being rewarded with one-half interest in a Ford dealership with a Mr. R. E. Stearns in Baton Rouge, La.
Davis Motor Company - Around 1922 Bill moved the family to Baton Rouge where he opened the capital's first Ford dealership at the corner of Lafayette and Convention Streets, better known as the site of the old Auto Hotel. The Davis Motor Company then relocated to the intersection of Main St. and 19th St. in Baton Rouge and was one of the largest in the south housed in new-type arched roof building covered 1/2 a city block, and was reported to cost $60,000 to build. Davis Motor Company lasted from 1925 to at least 1934 as I have a repair ticket from that year. The Davis clan in Baton Rouge had fared very well through the 1920s but struggled through the depression like so many others. One of the first setbacks resulted when the state of La. ordered a number of trucks from Davis Motor Co. during the early days of the depression. When the trucks arrived, the governor, Huey Long, wanted a "kickback" of $25 per vehicle sold to the state for his "war chest". This was normal at the time but WMD refused to pay it and Huey canceled the order sticking Davis Motors with a large inventory. Wife Mattie said that Huey personally came to Bill and said that if he did not pay "you will be out of business in two years". The governor's Mansion was a few blocks from Davis Motor Company which did much of the service to the governor's limousine although the governor rarely paid. Bill did not pay the kick-back and was stuck with the trucks which he eventually managed to sell but the company had been dealt a mortal blow. Perhaps in desperation, Bill went into partnership with an A. J. Whitehead who embezzled money from the company almost bankrupting it. Bill was forced to close the business in 1934 but he avoided bankruptcy and eventually paid his creditors.
Chevrolet Dealership And Other Car Businesses - Bill then started a Chevrolet dealership in 1934 with a Mr. McInnis who put up the money with the expectation that Bill would train his sons A.K. and Emmit McInnis. That is apparently what happened as McInnis Chevrolet is still doing business in Baton Rouge 60 years later. The relationship with McInnis must not have lasted long as Bill owned a service station and Plymouth dealership later that year with a parking garage upstairs at the corner of Florida and Lafayette St. He started selling auto parts to service stations in the surrounding area with his son Edwin as salesman. This business also "went under" in 1936 whereupon he started Davis Motor Service at 725 Jackson Road (N. 21st St. now) with his son Jack as the traveling salesman. Son Jack quit college to work for the company during the late 1930s for nothing selling auto parts all over south Louisiana as a "jobber". Father Bill and son Jack closed this business around 1941. Despite all of his positive attributes, I am getting the impression that Bill shared an unfortunate character trait with his father William James Davis. They both appear to have been somewhat naive, honest, trusting to a fault, and poor judges of character, especially when it came to choosing business partners. And, his inherent laid back disposition did not suit him well for being in charge of a business and this contributed somewhat to the demise of so many ventures. See an account of WMD's father, William James Davis, for a similar tale. Bill was subsequently employed by Mr. A. C. Pierce as an appliance store manager on Scenic Highway and later for a Mr. Charles H. Herbert (pronounced "A-bear") on Scenic Hwy. He then worked as an accountant again for a Baton Rouge firm of E. J. Gonzalas where he retired about 1956.
Disposition, The man - William Milton was called Bill by his wife and associates, Daddy by his children, and "I-pa" by his grandchildren. I remember him clearly and spent much time with him and wife Mattie (or Me-Maw). Others may recall otherwise, but to me he was consistently gentle and good natured, always had a smile, loved kids, and seemed to enjoy life -- despite his wife's constantly putting him down both privately and publicly. Wife Mattie clearly "wore the pants" and this did not seem to bother him in the least. Perhaps she developed this behavior because of Bill's consistent laid back approach to life. Son Jack Sr. on May 14, 1980 recalled to me (Jack Jr.) that he never remembering his father ever got mad or uttered a curse word. An honest, sincerely and genuinely religious, generous, and good hearted person. Tall, thin, wore glasses, nice smile. Very easy going and did not like arguments. He was somewhat henpecked but could "put his foot down" if necessary. I recall him telling a tale, possibly more for my entertainment than truth, of coming across a tree supposedly filled with squirrels and how he shot his limit using a 22 rifle. He was a very pleasant man most of the time and didn't seem to require too much out of life. He usually went along with wife Mattie's wishes on most matters as she would have wore him down sooner or later anyway. He loved good home-cooked food, especially turnip greens and strawberry shortcake. To this day I still think of him whenever I prepare these two foods. After wife Mattie's death in 1958 he spent most of his time fishing, a favorite hobby. He supposedly played a lot of golf in his early years but no one recalls his playing much after 1940. He loved good home-cooked food. Whenever he got up from the table he always told whomever had cooked the meal that he enjoyed it. Whenever the whole family got together for Christmas or Thanksgiving each year or those frequent Sunday dinners, he always offered the same simple blessing; "Lord make us thankful for these and other blessings we humbly beg, Amen." Every Sunday afternoon he usually visited us and we missed his visits very much after his death in 1961.
Other Women - Bill was not a "womanizer" and no reader should leave with that impression. However, after death of wife Mattie, he dated old flame Dr. Maude Purdy (Ph.D. Chemistry) who by the way taught Jack Jr. chemistry at LSU in 1963. She was 10-15 years younger than he. Later, he also traveled to Melbourne, Fla. to see brother Jesse a couple of times and on one trip stopped by Milledgeville (did he mean Macon) to see Bill's old girlfriend Eddie Dean Sauls, widow of his father William James Davis, who he had jilted to marry Mattie. Other stories plaguing Bill include one that, while working at E. J. Gonzales a Lillian Rube had a crush on him. Wife Mattie, who was very jealous of Bill and accused him of all sorts of misdeeds, made him quit working there to get away from Lillian.
The Final Years - A good natured man, Bill seemed to enjoy his latter days just visiting his family and friends. We have missed his happy visits but there are good memories tucked away for us to treasure. His nickname "I-pa" was given to him by his first grandson, Little Bill (William Milton Davis III). This small boy little realized how his famous nicknames "Me-ma" and "I-Pa" would be a cherished sound to all of the family in later years as we all look back on the good times shared with these two wonderful and interesting people. After Bill retired in about 1956 and he and wife Mattie did a lot of traveling and "camping out". They especially liked to go to the Smoky Mountains. He continued to enjoy fishing and hunting while his health lasted. Bill smoked fairly heavily for most of his adult life up until the early 1950s which likely contributed to his contracting lung cancer. In Feb. 1961 he developed pains in his arm and chest which, after exploratory surgery, was in his lungs. He passed away at his daughter Martha Hopper's home on August 8, 1961. (Recollections by daughter-in-law Dorothy Jeanne Brunet Davis and Grandson Jack S. Davis, Jr., August 1997.)

George DAWKINS died sometime before 1785 in Newberry District, South Carolina. Earliest record for George in South Carolina Archives is in Berkeley County on 13 April 1771 when he had a plat recorded for 150 acres. The record provides locations: Belue Creel, Berkeley County, Broad River, Saluda Creek, and Second Creek. Others named in the record are Enoch PEARSON and Henry WICKER. [SC Archives: Series: S213184, Volume: 0014, Page: 00343, Item: 01]
George died before 1785 when George HARRIS and Thomas HARBART, husband of Jemima DAWKINS, were acting as executors of George's Will. George's wife, name not discovered, apparently died before George. No mention of her in the testimony concerning George's Will.
George DAWKINS' Will was recorded from the oaths of William BALINTINE, a subscribing witness and Elizabeth BEARD who had custody of the Will at George's death and some time after before the Will was destroyed. Per their oaths, George named or gave bequeaths to Jemima HARBETT, Nancy BARR[E]T, Mary Ann LANE, Susannah POPE, Elizabeth POPE, his daughter the Widow GRIGSBY, son George DAWKINS, granddaughter Ellen HAMPTON, grandson Thomas BARRETT, grandson William Dawkins LANE, and appointed his son George DAWKINS and nephew Thomas DAWKINS as executors.

Susan GRIFFITH's brother, Thomas Colbert DAWSON, was killed on 11 Dec 1890 as the result of a sordid situation between the DAWSON and HOWARD families. Testimony from the trial of Ricahrd and Robert HOWARD and James BICKERSTAFF accused Mrs GRIFFITH of contributing to the marital difficulties between Thomas and his wife Ruth HOWARD. In the initial story of the killing of Thomas Colbert DAWSON, the Columbus Daily Advertiser was this snippet: "As soon as DAWSON fell a lady dressed in black moved swiftly across the track, and proceeded to the point where he lay dying. 'Show me the man who did this,' she said, according to the statement of a gentleman who was present. 'By God, I am the man that shot him and you caused it all,' exclaimed HOWARD*. When HOWARD said this, the lady stooped and picked up DAWSON's pistol, which lay at his side, and made an effort to use it. A gentleman standing by caught her arm, and the dangerous weapon was taken from her. The lady calmly turned her attention to Mr. DAWSON, and without a quiver of emotion gently fanned his face until the last breath left his body. This lady was Mrs. Sue GRIFFITH, of Glennville, a sister of Mr. DAWSON." [*Richard HOWARD from the context of the article. RLD]

General Notes: Husband -
"Thomas Colbert Dawson was shot dead at a horse race in Columbus, 1890." ["Old Glennville: An Early Center of east Alabama Culture" printed in the Alabama Review Oct, 1858 - page 264, footnote #17, David Leon Wilson, 31 May 2009]
Robert HOWARD, Richard HOWARD, and James BICKERSTAFF were tried in Muscogee County, Georgia, for the murder of Thomas Colbert DAWSON. The Columbus Daily Enquirer published numerous accounts of the attack and subsequent trial activity which extended for over a year.
Prosecution witnesses testified that on 11 November 1890, Robert HOWARD began the attack by stabbing an eight inch Bowie knife in Thomas' shoulder from behind, slicing through his clavicle and an artery after he drove in a gentlemen's roadster sulky race at the Columbus, Georgia Exposition grounds. All three men then fired up to 16 pistol shots at Thomas as he tried to escape, hitting him three times, in the leg, hip, and shoulder. The coroner ruled that Thomas died because of the stab wound, not the pistol shots. Col. Alto V. LEE gave the opening speech for the prosecution including comments that "the HOWARDs had well armed themselves, and went to the grounds together. This was a conspiracy. We don't have to prove that the men got together and talked over the matter. Robert HOWARD, just back from Ohio; Richard HOWARD already here, and BICKERSTAFF coming from Alabama are found all together, completely armed."; that "no evidence showed DAWSON to be a seducer"; and that "when Richard HOWARD finally discovers his sister's precarious condition, and she told him of the married man who betrayed her. We don't know who this person was. Richard went to Ruth the second and third time. She gave the same name of a married man. That didn't satisfy Richard. As soon as she told him it was Colbert DAWSON that satisfied him. He said, "Yes, that's the man. I'll make him marry her."; subsequently they married on 18 April 1889 and a child was born and "The child dies and I don't know how it died. They charged DAWSON and his sister Sue of murdering it. After the birth of the child DAWSON refused to live longer with his wife. He had heard the story of the married man in Columbus. Richard HOWARD goes to him, denies the story, and says 'You must live with Ruth. If you don't your head is mine.' Dawson said he couldn't do it. They didn't kill him there. DAWSON left Ruth."
The State's witnesses against the trio supported the basic scenario of the stabbing and the shooting and that the HOWARDs and BICKERSTAFF had conspired to kill Thomas. James BICKERSTAFF fired the last two shots at Thomas while he was slumping to the ground, hitting him once in the hip.
"Judge McNEILL [a defense counsel] gave an outline of what the defense intended to prove: The defense did not deny the killing, but did deny being guilty of murder, manslaughter or any crime whatever. He said the testimony of the defense would explain the inconsistency in the testimony of the state. He said the defense intended to show that DAWSON fired the first shot and had a pistol in his hand when he passed under the railing, and that what the defendants did was justifiable and in self-defense; that DAWSON had two pistols at the time of the difficulty and fired at BICKERSTAFF before BICKERSTAFF fired at him; that the defendants did what any other honorable men would have done under the same circumstances."
Col. J. H. WORRILL began his argument for the defense including the comment "The State charges murder. The defendants say they are not guilty. A man can kill another with all venom and malice in his heart and yet not be guilty of murder. The defendants say this was not an unlawful killing. They say, first, they took DAWSON's life to save their own life; and, second. that he betrayed their sister. They say you should convict the defendants because they went down to the exposition with pistols and a knife. When DAWSON comes armed to the teeth, they say nothing of a violation of the law. Why? Because they were employed to prosecute these defendants."
Defense witnesses testified that DAWSON had seduced Ruth HOWARD, sister of Robert and Richard, that after being confronted, he had married her in Glennville, Alabama, but did not stay with her after the child was born. Robert had engaged an attorney, Hon. G. L. COMER, to prosecuted DAWSON in Alabama court for alimony for having deserted his sister, said to be the the motive for Thomas to want to kill the HOWARD brothers, and that DAWSON had returned to Columbus from Alabama intending to kill the HOWARD brothers.
Much conflicting testimony was presented and covered in the newspaper articles. In the end, on 19 November 1891, the jury found Robert and Richard HOWARD and their brother-in-law James BICKERSTAFF not guilty.
Some other quotes of genealogical interest and reason for hard feelings between the men as printed in the Columbus Daily Enquirer in various articles as the trial progressed:
"For the prosecution: Solicitor-General A. A. CARSON, W. J. SAMFORD of Opelika, Alto V. LEE of Clayton, L. G. COMER of Eufaula, THORNTON & McMICHAEL and W. B. BUTT."
"For the Defence [sic]: Mark A. BLANDFORD, McNEILL & LEVY, I. F. GARRARD, Thomas W. GRIMES, J. J. ABERCROMBE of Opelika, John G. SMITH, and MARTIN & WORRILL.
"Maj. W. C. DAWSON, of Eufaula, his daughters, Mrs, GRIFFITH, of Eufaula, and Mrs. GRAVES and Mrs. Tyler HOWARD of Glennville...came in..."
"Mr. W. C. [William Curran] DAWSON, father of the deceased DAWSON, is a constant attendant at the trial, and a quiet, attentive observer of the proceedings."
"Mr. C. C. HOWARD, Mr. O. T. HOWARD and Major Chess HOWARD, of Howard, Ga.; Mr. R. E. LINDSEY and Mr. and Mrs. John T. RUTLEDGE, of Seale, Ala., all relatives of the defendants, are attending the trial."
James BICKERSTAFF testified: "I am a brother-in-law of Richard and Robert HOWARD. I married their sister fifteen years ago."
Mr. Richard LINDSEY of Seale [Alabama] testified for the defense: "I know both Robert and Richard HOWARD. They are my cousins. I knew DAWSON, and he lived in ten miles of me. Richard HOWARD's half brother married DAWSON's sister. They lived at Glennville, Ala. The families were intimate, and were in the habit of visiting. I knew Miss Ruth HOWARD. She was a sister of Richard and a half sister of Robert HOWARD. She and Colbert DAWSON were married, but not living together. I think they had been separated for about four months at the time of the tragedy. DAWSON and Miss HOWARD were married in the spring of 1890. I think they separated that year."
"Judge McNEILL [a defense counsel] said they wanted to show that Ruth HOWARD had been a frequent visitor at the house where DAWSON was living. That he betrayed her under his own roof and that after this occurred he acknowledged the fact to Mrs. GATEWOOD. That after that DAWSON married Ruth HOWARD, but they soon separated and in some way their child was destroyed. 'We wish to show that the betrayal occurred in Alabama, and further that these facts had been communicated to Robert HOWARD but forty-eight hours before the difficulty occurred, and that DAWSON came here for the purpose of killing the HOWARDS.'"
Mrs. Julia GATEWOOD testified: "I am a sister to to Robert and Richard HOWARD, and a sister-in-law to Mr. James BICKERSTAFF. I knew Mr. Colbert DAWSON and his family. One of my brothers married a DAWSON. Immediately after the marriage, he lived in Russell County. My brother is not living. His widow lives in Glennville, Ala. For four years I have been living in Montgomery, Ala.; prior to that time I had lived in Glennville. The families had been on the most pleasant terms for years prior to the trouble. Ruth HOWARD was a frequent visitor to the home where DAWSON lived in Glennville."
In the initial story of the killing of Thomas Colbert DAWSON, the Columbus Daily Advertiser was this snippet: "As soon as DAWSON fell a lady dressed in black moved swiftly across the track, and proceeded to the point where he lay dying. 'Show me the man who did this,' she said, according to the statement of a gentleman who was present. 'By God, I am the man that shot him and you caused it all,' exclaimed HOWARD*. When HOWARD said this the lady stooped and picked up DAWSON's pistol, which lay at his side, and made an effort to use it. A gentleman standing by caught her arm, and the dangerous weapon was taken from her. The lady calmly turned her attention to Mr. DAWSON, and without a quiver of emotion gently fanned his face until the last breath left his body. This lady was Mrs. Sue GRIFFITH, of Glennville, a sister of Mr. DAWSON." [*Richard HOWARD from the context of the article. RLD]

General Notes: Wife -
Ruth HOWARD is first named as "Antionette", age 6, in the 1860 census of Russell County, Alabama. In 1870 and 1880 she is named as Ruth HOWARD, 16 and 24, and in 1900 as Ruth DAWSON, 47, widowed, one child, deceased.
Ruth HOWARD married Thomas Colbert DAWSON. She was pregnant at the time. The father may or may not have been Thomas Colbert. Ruth had first told her brother Richard on three occasions the name of a married man as the person who "betrayed" her. Richard would not accept the name of a married man and Ruth then named Thomas Colbert, who was single, as the father. Richard threatened to kill Thomas if he did not marry Ruth. They married on 18 April 1889. Her child was born and died soon after the marriage. Thomas left Ruth after her child was born and refused to live with her. It was about that time that he heard the story that a married man was the baby's father. On 11 Dec 1890 Richard HOWARD, his brother Robert, and brother-in-law James BICKERSTAFF killed Thomas Colbert DAWSON in Columbus, Georgia and were accused of murder and conspiring to murder him. After a year of prosecution efforts and conflicting testimony, they were found not guilty by the jury. [This information is gleaned from the Columbus Daily Enquirer, 15 November 1891, article entitled "The Evidence All In."]
Mr. Richard LINDSEY of Seale [Alabama] testified for the defense: "I know both Robert and Richard HOWARD. They are my cousins. I knew DAWSON, and he lived in ten miles of me. Richard HOWARD's half brother married DAWSON's sister. They lived at Glennville, Ala. The families were intimate, and were in the habit of visiting. I knew Miss Ruth HOWARD. She was a sister of Richard and a half sister of Robert HOWARD. She and Colbert DAWSON were married, but not living together. I think they had been separated for about four months at the time of the tragedy. DAWSON and Miss HOWARD were married in the spring of 1890. I think they separated that year."
