October 15, 1839 in Eatonton, Putnam County, Georgia231. She was born January 5, 1823 in Georgia232,
and died in Montgomery, Alabama and buried Oakwood Cemetery.
Life was precarious for
little ones in the antebellum South.
A glance at the Bible of Waldegrave James “J. W.” Clopton and his wife
Frances D. Lamar, reveal the terrible and tragic drama of tiny lives born and
then too quickly lost. The Bible
records the birth of eight children, four were to die before or shortly after
their fifth birthday The first hurtle
for babies of this period was to be born.
The good news was that doctors had entered the field of obstetrics and
infant care. The bad news was that
they didn’t know what they were doing.
Although physicians understood there existed a correlation between the
mother’s activities and the baby in her womb, they were a little fuzzy about
the details. The wonder is not
that four of J. W. and Frances’ children died, it is that four survived. See Ragged

mentions this home, now a Bicentennial Farm, which, in 1983, the date of
publication, had been in the Mills family for over 200 years.
"The old home has two
rooms on the first and second floors, one room deep, with no central hall. The two rooms in the basement were
originally used for storage, potato cellar, wine, etc. It had a diret floor and there were no
windows. Later, the basement was
remodeled, windows installed, flooring, etc., and now has the appearance of an
English basement with a kitchen and dining room. The hand-hewn white oak beams pegged with wooden pins in the
basement ceiling are original. Up
to the time of remodeling, the kitchen was detached from the main dwelling and
stood in the side yard. The two
rooms on the main floor have high ceilings and are 20 feet square, with old English
powder rooms on one side of each chimney.
The first year of taxes,
1782, shows Mary Mills with 270 acres.

Upon
the death of Judge David C. Clopton, in 1892, a great flurry of commentary
blanketed newspapers throughout the South. In addition to the expected recitation of his career, his
ancestry from a “conspicuous Virginia Family,” was duly noted, and, oddly, the
shape of his head, complexion and eyes received praise. Of his wives, it was his third who is
best remembered, the unflappable Virginia Caroline Tunstall, widow of Clement
Claiborne Clay, who was himself, a descendant of the ancient Cloptons. See The Death of an Old Land Mark

"As a theologian the
"Old Doctor" (his father) rated him above any of his sons. His ministerial life was checkered
owing largely to his delicate nervous organism. The closing years of his life were characterized by a
humility and gentleness. Shortly
before his death he removed to Texas where he spent his last days in the home
of his son (John Foster Pierce), who achieved great success as a minister of
the Gospel. Thus far away from his
native Georgia and quite aloof from his old conference associated, Dr. James L.
Pierce entered into rest."

Andrew and his Marianne
gave the unmarried Mary Harris and
her son, Joel Chandler Harris a home and paid for the young Joel's education.
Much has been made of the influence of professional writers on the creator of "Uncle
Remus," however, seldom is more than a nod directed towards the kith and
ken who undoubtedly made the greatest impression on him from his birth through
young adulthood. Possibly no
family in Putnam County held any greater fascination to the writer than the
Reids and the Cloptons. A family
named Clopton play a prominent role in one of his delightful novels. See A Tempest In
The Briar Patch.

For many years it was
thought that this William Edmund Clopton, Jr. had died in infancy but nothing
could be further from the truth. A
letter written by his brother, Dr. John Fielding Clopton, Sr. to his sister,
Henrietta Adelaide Clopton, mentions his older brother. Family Bible records, newspaper
notices, and letters also indicate that this William is the individual
mentioned on his daughter, Cordelia Belle's tombstone in Hollywood Cemetery,
Richmond, Virginia.
William served in the
Third Virginia Calvary under William F. Lee. He was captured while on furlough
at home. He was taken to Johnsons
Island for nine months, and was one of the last soldiers exchanged.
Of her mother, Ellen
Hesseltine Hill, Cordelia tells us:
"(she had a) forceful and lovely character, a member of the Hill
family of King and Queen County; prominent in early Colonial days, her father
was born in King William County.
Pieces of furniture, glassware, etc. that are still in her family having
come from her grandfather's home are evidences of his prosperity and
culture. (She was) educated in the
best schools of her day, was fond of teaching and had private schools to educate
her own children; she filled well all positions she was called on to fill, won
the respect of all she came in contact with and love of many.
One of her slaves went to
New York after the civil war. The
northern lady who employed the former slave in writing to the colored relatives
south, expressed a desire to meet Ellen Clopton, a delicate but evident
compliment."
Cordelia continued,
"Coming to her country home from Richmond after her marriage her husband
like so many southern men, was a sporting huntsman, killed many birds with
beautiful plumage. Ellen Clopton
conceived the idea (entirely original) of preserving them and making something
of them.

When
Dr. John Fielding Clopton began his fourteen years of service at Williamsburg’s
Eastern State Hospital for the Insane, the method of treatment for the mentally
ill consisted of “employment of fresh air, generous diet, exercise, personal
cleanliness, constant occupation and rational amusements.” An experiment attempting to ease the
inmates back into society by permitting them to go out into the community to
socialize, so shocked the good citizens that many of the administration and
staff were fired. He had a deep
appreciation for the ladies, but once he met the lovely young Wilhelmina
Somerville Piggott, he had eyes for no other. Dr. Clopton courted her madly and eventually won her
heart. They would end their days
together at Norge, Virginia. See All

fistula, tumors, ulceration of the womb, spermatorrhoes, and syphilitic
afflictions." He says that he
has already operated successfully in Monticello. He "Guarantees perfect success in every case," and
says that "he has never had an accident to happen," though he has
operated in cases pronounced hopeless by "…almost every other surgeon of
any reputation." He encourages
patients to write him for an appointment and says that "all letters must
contain a ten cent stamp if a reply is requested." He also says that "ladies will be
visited at their homes for private consultation and examination."

FORM
ER FOX HUNTERS TO BE HONORED AT PONY SHOW SEPT. 9
The fall show of the Gloucester
Pony Club will be held on Saturday, Sept. 9 beginning at 10 A.M. at Botetourt
School. The program will honor
Gloucester fox hunters of the late nineteenth century, a spokesman for the
organization said. Each class will be dedicated to the memory of one
outstanding fox hunter of that period and the winning trophy will be awarded by
a member of his family.
Those to be honored
include: Joseph Bryan of
"Eagle Point," Naxera; Dr. Thomas Clopton of "Havers Hall,"
Belroi; Albert Eastwood of Singpine; John Farinholt of Freeport; Charles Jones
of "Cedar Hill," Gloucester; Richard Jones of "Lands Eng,"
Naxera; Goodall A. Minor of Bena; Mrs. Blanche Dimmock Noland of
"Sherwood," Selden; Capt. Richard Page of "Greenway" and
"Shelly," Coke; Maj. Jefferson Sinclair and son Ashton Wray Sinclair
of "Marifield," Naxera; James Jefferson Sinclair, "Bay
Cottage," Naxera, James Lyons Taliaferro of "Church Hill,"
Gloucester; Timothy W. Thrift of Woods Cross Roads; Robert Wilkins of "Enfield,"
Sassafras; and Mrs. Katherine Vandegrift Withers of "Sevenby,"
Naxera.
Mrs. Elizabeth Mott and Miss
Indie Sinclair are co-chairmen of the show. They state that the fox hunting tradition still goes on in
Gloucester but in a very different style.
"Gone are the days of riding ten miles to the casting grounds,
accompanied by the hounds on foot - hunting for eight hours and riding
home. Now it is trucks for the
hounds and trailers and vans for the horses. An easy hunting life.!

Denver, Colorado of influenza, and buried December 18, 1943 at Fairmount
Cemetery, Denver427,428. She married Jackson Turpin, Esq.429
May 25, 1871 in St. John's Episcopal Church, Richmond, Virginia by the Rev.
Henry Wall, D.Div430, son of Miles Turpin and Rebecca
Garthright. He was born October

Turpin, born June 8, 1872.
581 ii. Brantley Turpin, born August
4, 1891.
Brantley sold
protectographs as did his brother, Miles.
He was a great salesman, but unfortunately, he drank a lot as well, so
he didn't remember all the sales he made.
He had the reputation of being on of the worst drivers in Virginia. He'd just stop and park up on the
sidewalk and scare the heck out of everyone.

11, 1873 in Richmond, Virginia; died April 28, 1934 in Chicago, Ilinois and
buried April 30, 1934 at Graceland Cemetery, Chicago.
583 iv. Edward Clopton Turpin, born
August 14, 1875.
"Eddie was sort of
the black sheep of the family. He
was once engaged to a girl from a very good family, and the night before the
wedding he got really drunk and he and his friends picked up a bunch of
prostitutes and drove all over town in a wagon. It was a huge scandal and the wedding was cancelled and
Eddie figured he should just leave town.
And he disappeared for 25 years.
He became a seaman. Eddie's
brother, Marshall, and his other brother, Miles, had always said he could stay
with them. So once when he hit town
in San Pedro, he looked up Marshall in the phone book and came to stay. That was the first anyone had heard
from Eddie in years. I think
Marshall got Eddie a job, but that didn't last. Marshall and Eddie had a bar in San Pedro together (called
Marshall and Eddie's). Eddie met a
woman and got married. She was as
tough as he was. They argued and
fought and did everything together.
She worked in the Cannery I think.
She was a big woman about 200 pounds. I remember going on the bus with them to Denver to see his
mother. We went on the bus in
those days, that's how we did it then.
And Eddie came in the room and his mother just sat there and cried and
held him. She hadn't seen or heard
from him in 25 years."

was born November 20, 1858 in Richmond, Henrico County, Virginia435,
and died December 20, 1930 in Lexington, Kentucky, by his own hand, and buried
Lexington Cemetery436.
He married Irene Cabell Horsley437 Bef.
December 10, 1891 in Trinity Church, Nelson County, Virginia, by the Rev. George S. Somerville438,
daughter of Nicholas Horsley and Nannie Dean. She was born September 1869 in Virginia, and died Bet. 1910
and 1912 in Baltimore, Maryland, and buried, probably, at Sparrow's Point,

November 1896 in Virginia; died in possibly Illinois.
+ 592 iv. Irene Horsley Clopton, born March 4, 1897 in Herndon, Virginia; died August 8, 1987 in Bend, Oregon, and her ashes scattered in the Cascade Mountains, west of Bend.
Decades before her death in
1987, Irene Horsley (Clopton) Waters wrote a very candid and touching essay
regarding her early years.
She tells of the rollicking adventures of herself and two of her
sisters, Julia H. (Clopton) Cresap and Alice C. (Clopton) Watson. The family lived in the Rectory of
Grace Episcopal Church at Cedar Run Parish, Casanova, Fauquier County, six
miles from Warrenton, Virginia,
from January 1899 until August 1907.
In these days of “political correctness,” her terminology may be
unsettling, and some of the stories, troubling. However, her efforts are greatly valued as she eloquently
captures and preserves so accurately the mores, fun, and tragedies of rural
Virginia in the early twentieth century.

Georgia, and died October 21, 1891 in Miami, Dade County, Florida and buried
Concord United Methodist Church444. She married William Horne Girtman December 1888 in
Kissimmee, Florida, son of John Girtman and Zelma Guilford. He was born August 15, 1867 in Eufaula,
Alabama, and died December 18, 1904 in Miami, Dade County, Florida.
Child of Harriet Clopton and

601 i. Zelma Bell23
Girtman, born December 15, 1889 in Eatonton, Putnam County, Georgia. She married Edwin Mury Jones, M.D. July
30, 1913.
Zelma
Belle was called "Rosebud."
The story goes that her uncle, Harvey Gordon Clopton, was a little boy
when she was born. He peered into
her cradle and said, "She looks just like a rosebud!" Thereafter that was what she was
called. Both her mother and father
died young. She was raised in
Miami by her uncle and aunt, Gabriel Harrison Clopton and his wife, Elizabeth
Celine Girtman. The Jones' family
was interesting, to say the least. Dr. Jones would periodically loose his
license to practice. Family
tradition maintains he was involved with drugs. The three girls were accomplished musicians, but, otherwise,
were a mess. They were hippies before anyone ever heard of
such a thing. Once they all piled
into a convertible in their swimsuits and rode all the way to New Orleans with
their boyfriends. This was in
1935. They all were married
several times but had no children.
Bylee was a composer and pianist, and Inez, a pianist and organist.

Putnam County, Georgia446, and died September 6, 1955 in
Eatonton, Putnam County, Georgia and buried Concord United Methodist Church447. He married Minnie Flora King448
November 15, 1893 in Eatonton, Putnam County, Georgia449,
daughter of Elisha King and Elizabeth Johnston. She was born January 7, 1869 in Eatonton, Putnam County,
Georgia450, and died April 10, 1942 in Eatonton, Putnam
County, Georgia and buried Concord United Methodist Church451.
Georgia
had barely recovered from the Civil War when the boll weevil hit. Too much row cropping, and poor plowing
techniques had brought tremendous loss of the fertile topsoil, bringing a
decline in cotton production. The boll
weevil found a home in the fields and bolls. This ruined the agricultural system throughout much of the
South. Then a larger economic
depression gripped the Nation, and what cotton was produced was almost
worthless. William Thomas “Boo”
Clopton and his wife, Minnie Flora King, both of Eatonton, Putnam County,
Georgia, found themselves as poor as church mice with six boys to raise. What they lacked in material
possessions they made up for in love.
It was a good thing, too, the boys were raised on a farm because this
big boisterous family needed all the space they could get, as they careened
down the halls of the house in roller skates, or sailed little brother off the
roof to see if he could fly. See Minnie’s
Boys
Children of William Clopton
and Minnie King are:
602 i. Lemuel Thomas23

born July 21, 1901 in Eatonton, Putnam County, Georgia463;
died December 24, 1990 in Arcadia, Florida and buried Concord United Methodist
Church, Eatonton464.
He married Ada Lucille Knight465 January 26, 1927 in
Miami, Dade County, Florida; born September 6, 1902 in Eatonton, Putnam County,
Georgia, baptized and joined Concord Methodist Church September 3, 1914; died

born August 30, 1903 in Eatonton, Putnam County, Georgia467;
died September 25, 1995 in Macon, Bibb County, Georgia and buried Concord
United Methodist Church468. He married Petrona Gillian Hawkins.
Cuyler Clopton, a true
pillar of Concord Church. He has
been a member of the church all of his life and at times he and his family were
the only ones in attendance for
Sunday services. Concord has seen
many lean years. So lean, in fact,
that there was a time that there was some talk of consolidating Concord with one
of the other churches on the charge.
It was through the untiring and uncomplaining efforts of Mr. Clopton
that Concord is still standing.
There were many years when there was no money in the till and there was
work to be done on the church building.
Mr. Clopton did the work and paid for the materials out of his pocket.
Very few people are aware of just how much this one person has done for this
church and the members of this church.
It is worthy that we take this opportunity to honor one of our oldest
and most faithful members. A
person who has spent his entire life in this church and has given everything
that we asked of him and more when needed. See Oh Worship The King
606 v. Rufus Terrell Clopton, Sr.469,
born January 21, 1907 in Eatonton, Putnam County, Georgia470;
died September 9, 1992 in Warner Robins, Georgia and buried Concord United
Methodist Church471.
He married Martha Alice Bailey December 21, 1946 in Dublin, Laurens
County, Georgia; born September
23, 1924 in Dublin, Laurens County, Georgia; died October 8, 1998 in Macon,
Bibb County, Georgia.
Although
the family had been told by the War Department Rufus was missing in action in
1942, they did not receive confirmation he was alive and captured by the
Japanese, until 1943; his mother had been dead for 13 months. While Rufus was held captive, his
family kept his mother's death a secret.
They were able to send him boxes and mail from time to time. In the first box sent him they tucked a
letter his mother had written to him just before her death. He clung to a future of returning to
his parents and brothers. When he
returned to the States, Rufus picked up his mail and only then learned his
mother was dead from a letter from the family. He wasn't really surprised. Although he had received 16 additional letters while held
prisoner, no more came from her.
They hadn't told him,
"They figured I had enough bad news." See With Quiet Grace and Dignity

The McKay children were

Clopton and Ann (Booth) Dennett Clopton's original land grant. This property was owned by Lydia May as
late as 1998. When they were
young, St. Peter's Parish Church stood deserted and dilapidated deep in the
woods of New Kent. Elizabeth said
it was a favorite "sparking" spot for courting couples. She remembers occupying the rumble seat
of a car when it was driven under the porch of the church, only to have
buzzards fly out from under the eaves.
She said that put a damper on the romance----as far as she was
concerned, anyway.

desire to hurl herself enthusiastically into the fray. She early learned the art of political
debate, having spent much of her youth in Washington, D.C., where her father
served eighteen years as a Georgia senator. She was four square against alcohol and women getting the
vote. Her grand passion, however,
was the United Daughters of the Confederacy. See When All Is Said and Done

hours. The entire family is

Hudson, wife of A.D. Hudson of Long Mott the new merchant at that place, died
at the residence of Mr. A. D. Greathouse in this city after a painful illness. Mrs. Hudson moved with her family over
a year ago from Bell county from which section came so many of our new
settlers. She has suffered for
some years with internal troubles and despite all that medical skill could do
in her late illness she grew worse and finally passed away. She lived a consistent Christian life
and has gone to her reward. ..... She leaves a husband and seven children -
three girls and four boys - to mourn her loss.
Mr. Claud Greathouse of
Terrell left yesterday morning for home ..... Mrs. B. A. Fowler, mother of the
late Mrs. Hudson, returned to her home in Bell county yesterday, after her sad

he did just that. He worked and
helped each one until they married and were on their own. He did not himself marry until he was
27.

was born December 11, 1873 in Richmond, Virginia714, and died
April 28, 1934 in Chicago, Ilinois and buried April 30, 1934 at Graceland
Cemetery, Chicago. He married Willie
Alexander Werne, daughter of Henry Werne and Lucy Alexander. She was born 1875 in Louisvile,
Kentuck, and died December 21, 1946 in Chicago, Ilinois at the residence of her
sister, Mrs. Volney Bryan, and buried December 28, 1946 at Cave Hill Cemetery715.
Willie's mother died when
she was 15, leaving her to raise her siblings. She often ran out of money. If her Uncle Joe Werne had not dropped by with some cash
from time to time, they all would have starved to death. All of this responsibility naturally
took quite a toll on her, and she is remembered as being a very dour, unhappy
adult.
Child of Miles Turpin and
Willie Werne is:
1008 i. Miles Alexander23
Turpin716, born July 29, 1903 in St. Louis, Missouri; died
February 27, 1989 in Wickenburg, Maricopa County, Arizona. He is cremated at Westside Crematory
March 2, 1989. He married (1)
Virginia Ruth Sheffield. He
married (2) Ruth Farr Canary February 21, 1931 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, by The Reverend C. L. Hubbard717;
born November 5, 1905 in Chicago, Ilinois; died July 2, 1963 in Pasadena,
California.
"After graduating
from Dartmouth, Miles moved to Chicago to, in his words, "sell ties for
Marshall Fields or sell space for the Chicago Tribune - I chose The
Tribune." He sold display
space for the newspaper. There he
met and married Ruth, who was also working at the Time selling classified
space. Ruth attended the
University of Southern California in the 1920's where she was a Delta
Gamma. In the 1950's she was
President of the South Pasadena, California School Board and remained active
with her college sorority. Ruth's
father was married twice. His
first, Sally Hatheway, was born in Meridian Connecticut. Dan was an entertainer. He performed bicycle stunts before
European Royalty. Two of their
five children were born in Europe, Hazel in London, and Bob, in Paris. Not long after the birth of twin
daughters, Catherine and Dorothy in Springfield, Massachusetts, Sally left Dan
and eventually married millionaire Joe Prescott. Ruth's mother, Anne May Farr, raised all the Canary children
with equal love and devotion.
When Miles announced
his engagement in January of 1931, his grandmother, Susan Latane (Clopton)
Turpin, wrote him a letter from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, dated February 24,
1931.
My dear grandson,
Your letter of the 30th of
Jan. received and enjoyed and appreciated. I would love to hear from you more frequently. I was so glad to know you had found
"the girl of your dreams" and are so happy over your prospects. My dear boy it is a happy time,
although I am 80 I haven't forgotten our youth and when my dear husband died he
was just as much of a lover as he had ever been. That is the way to be happy in married life, don't forget to
tell her how much you love her afterwards. I love the name of Ruth and I wish you and Ruth a long and
happy married life.
Devotedly
Grandmother
Unfortunately, Miles'
parents didn't share his grandmother's enthusiasm. His mother didn't approve of his choice of a wife. In fact, the first time they met,
Willie said, "My dear, you look just like a peasant." Later on she informed poor Ruth that
Miles could have married the Governor of Kentucky's daughter and she couldn't
figure out why he married Ruth instead.
Now THAT'S a mother-in-law.
Ruth brought lots of
love to their marriage, and brains.
She was one of the California child geniuses studied by Dr. Termin in
his study to determine if intelligence is hereditary. Both of their sons were part of the study as well. - Miles George Turpin

was born January 13, 1885. She
married Richard Bascom Brooks.
“Julia traveled with her
father on business trips. She
helped him with bookkeeping. She
met her husband on the road in West Plains, Missouri. Her parents didn't approve of him, they didn't think he was
good enough for her. Bascom was in
the grocery business and he was a "Yankee." To add insult to injury, Bascom's father was a drummer boy
for the Union! Her parents were
true Southern Blue bloods and never got over it. Julia would play "Narcissus" on the
piano, and Bascomb, who could hear the music in the lobby of the hotel, knew
that this was the signal that Jackson had left and it was safe to come up and
talk. "My father was in the
grocery business. He managed and owned several grocery stores in Denver for
years. He was on his feet for so many years, his legs went out about 80. Mainly
his knees and calves. He had retired for about a year once. He didn't like
retirement and got a job working for the man he had sold his store to. My
mother lived until she was 85, but she wasn't like my father was. She was
mentally not OK for a long time.
My mother was the youngest of the girls. She was very different than the others. She was not
prejudiced, she just hated that sort of thing. She told her parents what she
thought. But they never fought
about it. They never fought about anything that I can remember. My father's dad was an undertaker in
Sikeston, Missouri. That was where Bascom
grew up, or maybe Fredricktown, Missouri. All those little towns down
there had a lot of French people. My dad's grandmother (on his father's side)
was a Chevalier. His grandmother never learned to speak English, she only spoke
French." - Martine Brooks

existed.

In a letter dated Thursday, February 28, 1980, from the Reid Collection
at the Eatonton-Putnam County Historical Society, she writes in part, "The
Bible itself is about to fall apart.
I really do hate to have it rebound because it will destroy its
originality but I'm afraid not to.
The paper is also quite brittle.
But then it is 153 years old.
It is interesting that a piece of paper is glued over the name of Joseph
A. Reid, b Aug 8, 1828 d. June 15, 1829.
Evidently he was a twin of Alexander J. Reid and their mother was Andrew
Reids first wife Mariah who died shortly after the birth of the
twins." There are four pages
of records. The entries were made
over time by several hands. The
earliest date is 1787, the latest, 1917.
