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. <br /> <br /> From from the Dictionary of North Carolina Biography 6 volumes edited by William S. Powell:<br /> <br /> "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". <br /> <br /> From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> 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

She is best remembered today for her novel The Story of an African Farm 1883 which has been highly acclaimed as one of the first feminist novels. It tells the story of a girl on an isolated farm on the veld who struggles for her independence in the face of rigid Boer social conventions. in doing so it deals boldly with such contemporary issues as agnosticism existential independence individualism the professional aspirations of women and the elemental nature of life on the colonial frontier. Since the late 20th century scholars have also credited Schreiner as an advocate for the Afrikaners and other South African groups who were excluded from political power for decades such as indigenous Blacks Jews and Indians. Although she showed interest in socialism pacifism vegetarianism and feminism amongst other topics her views escaped restrictive categorisations. Her published works and other surviving writings promote implicit values such as moderation friendship and understanding amongst all peoples and avoid the pitfalls of political radicalism which she consciously eschewed. Called a lifelong freethinker she also continued to adhere to the spirit of the Christian Bible and developed a secular version of the worldview of her missionary parents with mystical elements.

Sealy moved from Pennsylvania to Galveston in 1846 and became an important early Galveston merchant real estate investor and railroad magnate. unknown
