Etowah was located just north of Cartersville Georgia in former Cass County. The Iron Works were destroyed by the Union Army in 1864 and after the War the area remained in ruins. From from the Dictionary of North Carolina Biography 6 volumes edited by William S. Powell: "Moses Stroup the eldest son of Jacob was born in Lincoln County N.C. With little formal schooling he was brought up in the iron business. Many contemporaries considered him to be one of the "most expert furnacemen" in the South and a "remarkable genius" in the iron business as well as a good money-maker but a "poor keeper." He accompanied his father to South Carolina about 1815 and when Jacob moved to Georgia in the late 1820s Moses stayed behind. But in 1843 he joined his father at Cass County Ga. and bought him out. Moses built a rolling mill and rolled some of the first railroad iron made in Georgia some of which was used on the state-owned Western and Atlantic. In 1847 he sold the Cass County works to Mark Anthony Cooper and Company and shortly moved to Alabama where he bought ore lands from the government and began the Round Mountain Furnace in 1849". From wikipedia: Bartow County was created from the Cherokee lands of the Cherokee County territory on December 3 1832 and named Cass County after General Lewis Cass 1782–1866 Secretary of War under President Andrew Jackson Minister to France and Secretary of State under President James Buchanan3 who was instrumental in the removal of Native Americans from the area. However the county was renamed on December 6 1861 in honor of Francis S. Bartow because of Cass's support of the Union4 even though Bartow never visited in the county living 200 miles 320 km away near Savannah all of his life. Cass had supported the doctrine of popular sovereignty the right of each state to determine its own laws independently of the Federal government the platform of conservative Southerners who removed his name. The first county seat was at Cassville but after the burning of the county courthouse and the Sherman Occupation the seat moved to Cartersville where it remains. n.p. unknown

Edwards Georgie Hortense Manuscript for a Noted Genealogy Authored by a Descendant of Mary Todd Lincoln circa 1894 19 pp. typed carbon leaves printed rectos only plus title page inside pale green thin card wrappers originally three brad-bound only one brad remaining held with paper clips. About good as wrappers are moderately chipped and stained. This is a typed draft with copious handwritten amendments for an oft-reprinted genealogical history â€œHistoric Sketches of the Edwards and Todd Families and Their Descendants 1523-1895.â€ Originally printed in 1894 and updated several times afterward the book was authored by Georgie Hortense Edwards secretary of the Springfield Illinois Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution and a granddaughter of Elizabeth Todd Edwards sister of Mary Todd Lincoln. The history goes back to Georgieâ€™s â€œgreat great great great grandfather Robert Toddâ€ and argues that â€œwhat is known of the antecedents of the Todd family is most honorable.â€ Small collection also includes two first person accounts as relayed to Edwards as passed down through her family regarding "Lincoln and Duff Armstrong Murder trial.the information I have my Father and Mother has told me." The Duff Armstrong trial is a well-known case where Abraham Lincoln proved in court that a witness was lying when that witness claimed to have seen the murder take place "under the light of the moon." Lincoln produced an almanac which showed the moon that night had already set at the time of the "witnessed murder". Edwards backed up this account saying ".Father and Mother had been to a camp meeting and had gotten home around eleven p.m. and the moon had gone down it is true Abe secured an almanac and prove to the court that there was no moon shining at that time when this happened." A rare set of manuscripts. OCLC shows that only two institutions have the first printing of "Historic Sketches" and about 30 have later reprints while none have any drafts. We find no record of the anecdotal re-telling of the Duff Armstrong case. unknown

Following disagreements with the national association of Unitarians over the abolition of slavery the Augusta church closed in the 1840s while the Savannah church closed in 1859. Similarly southern Universalists often differed with their northern counterparts about abolition. There were more small active Universalist churches than Unitarian churches in Georgia before the war yet no congregations remained active afterward. A large Universalist missionary effort in the Southeast began in 1891 and attracted many new converts but after the Great Depression of the 1930s Universalist membership declined again.

[Georgia – Land Contracts – Indian Removal] Barber, William; Gann, John; Kennon, Elizabeth; Rake, GilbertBiblio.com

Three Contracts Selling Plots of Land in Early Cobb County Georgia Following the Indian Removal Act

1836List2949Clarke Cobb and Harris Counties Georgia 1836. Three documents. One four-page document measuring 5 x 8 ¾ inches likely previously a single sheet; water stained with some tearing at folds very good. One double-sided document measuring 8 x 10 inches; water stained and folded with large tears at folds possibly with part missing good. One single-sided document measuring 7 ¾ x 12 ¾ inches. Water stained and folded with large tears at folds much damage to margins good. Overall good. Three legal documents in which William Barber buys and sells plots of land shortly following the establishment of Cobb County. In 1834 and 1835 Barber buys plots from John Gann and Elizabeth Kennon for $100 each and in 1836 sells land to Gilbert Rake for $500. Gann is possibly the plantation owner Cobb County pioneer and State Senator. These land contracts date to a time at which a small number of Cherokee—whose territory included present-day Cobb County—had voluntarily left the area following the Indian Removal Act of 1830 while a majority had not done so. The Indian Removal Act required Indigenous people east of the Mississippi River to cede their land to Euro-Americans and move west of it to so-called Indian Territory now Oklahoma. In 1835 the US government met with a group of Cherokee claiming to represent the tribe in New Echota Georgia and signed a removal treaty. When the majority of the tribe viewing the treaty as illegitimate refused to move voluntarily the US government sent the military to intervene. Of interest to historians of Cobb County and land dealings between its early Euro-American residents during the removal of its Indigenous population. unknown

Daily National Intelligencer. Washington: Saturday March 10 1832

183236785Washington DC: Gales & Seaton 1832. Newspaper. Good. Newspaper. Approx. 21" x 18." 4 pages. Two folds. Sheets are detached. Newspaper has light toning. Name of R. J. Ingersoll New Haven Con" written top of issue. Possibly the same Ingersoll that served 4 terms in Congress from 1825-1833. Entire contents of page 2 concern "The Cherokee Case. Opinion of the Supreme Court delivered by Mr. Chief Justice Marshall January Term 1832. Samuel A. Worcester vs. The State of Georgia." The case is also printed on the first column of page 3. Supreme Court case of Samuel Worcester. From the Brittannica website: Worcester v. Georgia involved a group of white Christian missionaries including Samuel A. Worcester who were living in Cherokee territory in Georgia. In addition to their missionary work the men were advising the Cherokee about resisting Georgia's attempts to impose state laws on the Cherokee Nation a self-governing nation whose independence and right to its land had been guaranteed in treaties with the United States government. In an effort to stop the missionaries the state in 1830 passed an act that forbade "white persons" from living on Cherokee lands unless they obtained a license from the governor of Georgia and swore an oath of loyalty to the state. Worcester and the other missionaries had been invited by the Cherokee and were serving as missionaries under the authority of the U.S. federal government. They did not however have a license from Georgia nor did they swear a loyalty oath to that state. Georgia state authorities arrested Worcester and several other missionaries. After they were convicted at trial in 1831 and sentenced to four years of hard labour in prison Worcester appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Worcester argued that Georgia had no right to extend its laws to Cherokee territory. He contended that the act under which he had been convicted violated the U.S. Constitution which gives to the U.S. Congress the authority to regulate commerce with Native Americans. The Constitution also bars the states from passing laws that alter the obligations of contracts-in this case treaties. Several treaties between the Cherokee and the U.S. government recognized the independence and sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation. Furthermore Worcester argued that the Georgia laws violated an 1802 act of Congress that regulated trade and relations between the United States and the Indian tribes. The Supreme Court agreed with Worcester ruling 5 to 1 on March 3 1832 that all the Georgia laws regarding the Cherokee Nation were unconstitutional and thus void. Writing for the court Chief Justice John Marshall held that "the Indian nations had always been considered as distinct independent political communities retaining their original natural rights as the undisputed possessors of the soil." Even though Native Americans were now under the protection of the United States he wrote that "protection does not imply the destruction of the protected." Marshall concluded: The Cherokee Nation then is a distinct community occupying its own territory.in which the laws of Georgia can have no force and which the citizens of Georgia have no right to enter but with the assent of the Cherokees themselves or in conformity with treaties and with the acts of Congress. The whole intercourse between the United States and this Nation is by our Constitution and laws vested in the Government of the United States. Georgia however ignored the decision keeping Worcester and the other missionaries in prison. Eventually they were granted a pardon and were released in 1833. Pres. Andrew Jackson declined to enforce the Supreme Court's decision thus allowing states to enact further legislation damaging to the tribes. The U.S. government began forcing the Cherokee off their land in 1838. In what became known as the Trail of Tears some 15000 Cherokee were driven from their land and were marched westward on a grueling journey that caused the deaths of some 4000 of their people. The Supreme Court agreed with Worcester ruling 5 to 1 on March 3 1832 that all the Georgia laws regarding the Cherokee Nation were unconstitutional and thus void. Writing for the court Chief Justice John Marshall held that "the Indian nations had always been considered as distinct independent political communities retaining their original natural rights as the undisputed possessors of the soil." Even though Native Americans were now under the protection of the United States he wrote that "protection does not imply the destruction of the protected." Marshall concluded: The Cherokee Nation then is a distinct community occupying its own territory.in which the laws of Georgia can have no force and which the citizens of Georgia have no right to enter but with the assent of the Cherokees themselves or in conformity with treaties and with the acts of Congress. The whole intercourse between the United States and this Nation is by our Constitution and laws vested in the Government of the United States. Georgia however ignored the decision keeping Worcester and the other missionaries in prison. Eventually they were granted a pardon and were released in 1833. Pres. Andrew Jackson declined to enforce the Supreme Court's decision thus allowing states to enact further legislation damaging to the tribes. The U.S. government began forcing the Cherokee off their land in 1838. In what became known as the Trail of Tears some 15000 Cherokee were driven from their land and were marched westward on a grueling journey that caused the deaths of some 4000 of their people.
