| 164 | From the "History of the First Baptist Church, Summerfield, FL" From 1906-1912 the Clyburns lived in Pedro on Hwy 475 south of Hwy 42. They were not strangers to the residents of Summerfield since they had lived here before, and upon coming back they moved into the Kerby house on Newsome Street. The house was near where the post office is today, 1999. Across the street was a hotel. The next year the Clyburns built a beautiful two-story house facing the railroad track south of the hotel. In 1917 they bought the hotel named the National Colony House. R.L. was in business with Nathan Mayo and tended to the grocery section in Mayo's Store. Later across the tracks R.L. built a two story brick store and was In business for himself. That particular store was lost to fire, and over the years he was the proprietor of other stores. Today we would call Mr. Clyburn a bivocational pastor. As early as 1911 he was an ordained minister and preached in our church. He was elected Sunday School Superintendent in 1912 even though he was not a member. This is an indication of how people held him in such high esteem and regard. Before moving to Summerfield, Mr. Clyburn was preaching every third Sunday at the Longhammock schoolhouse. He was also Pedro's first pastor for three years. After they moved to Summerfield, Mrs. Russell as a little girl remembers her father hitching up the wagon on particular Sunday mornings and going off to preach for a morning and evening service. She and her sister Grace would sometimes go with him to Pedro. Grace liked to suggest to her father with whom they should eat lunch. Usually there was more than one invitation for the preacher. Grace preferred to go to a home where there was a baby so she could tend to it. After the evening service on the return trip home the girls often would go to sleep in the wagon. Upon arrival their father would gently wake them saying "We're home." Mrs. Grace told many times she knew what it would sound like when she got to Heaven. In that same manner her earthly father spoke, her Heavenly Father would say "Gracie, you're home." | CLYBURN, Richard Lewis (I1090)

| 167 | From the "History of the First Baptist Church, Summerfield, FL": Upon retirement Ed Richards and Myra (the younger of the Coxes two daughters) moved from Brandon, Florida into a new home near the Proctor's old home place. Myra has been president of the W.M.U. for years. Ed is a deacon, a trustee and serves as Treasurer of FBCSF. | RICHARDS, James Edward (I191)
|
| 168 | From the "History of the First Baptist Church, Summerfield, FL.": Marie, the eighth and youngest child of J.D. and Emma, was baptized in 1924. Thornton B. Mills, Marie's husband, moved his church letter from Wildwood and was ordained a deacon in 1944. He served as postmaster in Summerfield for 22 years. He knew everybody in town and on the routes. Plus in the 40s and 50s Thornton operated a grocery store housed in the same building as the post office. (Today this building is on the corner of S. E. 147th St. and 70th Court, once White's furniture.) Anyway, what an advantage for a good Baptist to witness which Thornton did. He was one of the first persons newcomers would meet and he would invite them to church. Marie has been active in all organizations, especially with W.M.U., and would take on Thornton's responsibilities when he was unable. He was the Sunday School Superintendent and later the treasurer for years. Their four daughters Gertrude (McCormick), Emma (Tedder), Darlene (Perryman), Sonya (Carroll) and son Bill Mills were baptized at FBCSF. | MILLS, Thornton Bothwell (I212)

| 173 | Glenneville Sentinel August 8, 2002 Two Killed In Fiery Crash On 301 All three vehicles involved consumed by flames by Pam Watersand Sarah Reed Tattnall Countians were stunned by a tragic accident that occurred around 3:20 p.m. on Tuesday, August 6, near Catfish Creek Golf Driving Range on Highway 301. The crash is believed to have been caused when a 2002 Ford Explorer, traveling south on 301, swerved across the center line and struck a northbound Fries Farms truck head-on. The Explorer flipped three times before coming to rest sideways in the middle of 301, according to the Georgia State Patrol. Emergency personnel surmised that the occupants of the Explorer, a man and a woman, probably died from the impact, but the couple were still in the vehicle when it exploded into flames just moments after the crash, according to eye witnesses. The driver of the Fries Farms truck, a 25-year-old Reidsville man, managed to exit the cab and was dragged to safety by several Hispanics who were walking through a nearby field when the accident occurred, stated one witness. Emergency personnel found the truck driver dazed and slightly injured about 100 yards away from the accident scene, but safe from the flames that quickly engulfed his truck. A 2000 Chrysler minivan traveling south behind the Explorer was unable to avoid the collision and was struck, landing in the northbound ditch. The passengers of the minivan, a couple, Maria Mancia, 44, and Lazaro Mancia, 45, of Glennville, along with the truck driver, were transported by ambulance to Evans Memorial Hospital to be treated for minor injuries and were released. The minivan was also completely destroyed by fire. An 18-wheeler heading north on 301, driven by Emanuel Pough of Orangeburg, South Carolina, pulled over to help the victims shortly after the collision. His truck narrowly escaped the flames that leapt from the three wrecked vehicles. The Explorer had a Florida license plate and is registered to a 72-year-old Florida resident, said Georgia State Patrol officials, but the age and identities of those killed will not be released until the family members have been notified. Because of the intense heat of the fire, law enforcement had few clues as to the couple's identity but were pursuing several leads at presstime. "This is the worst accident I have ever seen," said one emergency worker. Names released of double fatality victims Authorities released the identity of the victims in Tuesday's deadly accident in Tattnall County. Edith Lynn Luther and Harry Luther Hoover, of Summerfield, Fla., were killed about 3:20 p.m. on U.S. 301 north of Glennville, near Claxton, Georgia State Patrol troopers said. Edith Hoover, 68, was driving a 2002 Ford Explorer southbound when the vehicle drifted into the northbound lane, troopers said. Her 81-year-old husband was in the front passenger seat. The vehicle slammed into an oncoming Kenworth truck. A northbound 2002 Chrysler Voyager van hit the truck from behind. All three vehicles caught on fire. The Hoovers died at the scene, troopers said. Three people in the other vehicles were treated and released at Claxton Memorial Hospital. | SMITH, Edith Lynn (I174)

| 175 | Grey Proctor moved to North Carolina ca 1690 to a location near Fishing Creek in the area where present day Halifax, Nash and Edgecombe Counties converge. The number and names of his daughters. if any, are unknown.

| 176 | GRINER, NATHANIEL G.H. (2nd Lt.) enlisted 4th Sept.1863,Co-K 9th Regiment Fla. Infantry Ocala, Fla. Name appears last on Roster 4th Dec.1864 near Petersburg, Va. Lt. Griner probably fought in Battle of Olustee Florida State Historians tell us that the 9th Regiment fought in this battle. N. G. H. Griner became the first husband of Sarah Elizabeth W. Leitner. (Researched by Fannie Belle Priest Kipp from papers obtained from the Florida and South Carolina Archives and from stories told by relatives.) Killed by a runaway mule. His only child was born after his death. | GRINER, Nathaniel (I796)

|
| 179 | He was born in London and educated at Westminster and Trinity College, Cambridge.[1] On taking his degree he was elected a fellow of his college, and soon afterwards wrote the comedy, Loiola (London, 1648), which was twice performed before King James I. He was ordained in 1618, and through the influence of John Williams became rector in 1621 of Stoke Hammond, Buckinghamshire, and Kirkby Underwood, Lincolnshire. In 1623 he was chaplain to James, and in 1624 Williams gave him the livings of St Andrew's, Holborn, and Cheam, Surrey. He was Archdeacon of Bedford from 1631 to 1661. When the so-called Root and Branch Bill was before Parliament in 1641, Hacket was selected to plead in the House of Commons for the continuance of cathedral establishments. In 1645 his living of St Andrew's was sequestered, but he was allowed to retain the rectory of Cheam. On the accession of Charles II, his fortunes improved; he frequently preached before the king, and in 1661 was consecrated Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry after the bishopric was rejected by the Presbyterian leader Edmund Calamy the elder. His time at the Cathedral coming immediately after the English Civil War meant that Hacket had the unenviable task of overseeing the restoration of Lichfield Cathedral. There is an effigy in remembrance of Bishop Hacket in Lichfield Cathedral.

| 181 | Her epitaph reads, "None knew thee but to love thee." The following is from a Marion Co. (Fla.) newspaper Story: Jacob and Charlotte Souter Leitner were pioneer residents of Marion Co.,Fla. They left their home in Columbia,S.C. on Dec-13,1855 for Florida with their nine children for what is now known as Anthony. Mr. and Mrs.Leitner and the smaller children rode In a carriage, the older children in buggies, and wagons (covered) carried personal and household goods and the Leitner slaves. On the first day the caravan traveled only 15 miles and the entire trip took over four weeks. Eight of the Leitner's nine children settled in and around Marion Co.

| 190 | In the 1820 U. S. Census we find the earliest known record of ANDREW PREASTER (1790-186?). He was living in the Beaufort District in Prince William's Parish on Jackson's Branch near the present Hickory Grove Community in Hampton County. Existing records on ANDREW are meager, but he apparently lived his entire life in the Beaufort District. Records of the Beaufort District were destroyed during the Civil War. ANDREW was listed in the 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850 and 1860 Census Records and the 1825 Tax Records. The 1820 Census shows ANDREW PREASTER to be in the 26-45 age group. In his household were 1 male under 10, 2 females under 10, 1 female 10-16, and one female 26-45. In the 1830 Census of Prince William's Parish ANDREW and 1 female are listed in age group 40-50. At this time there were i I n his household, 3 males 5-10, 1 male 10-15, 1 female under 5, 1 female 5-10, and 2 females 20-30. GEORGE and JACOB PRIESTER are living nearby. In the 1840 Census of Prince William's Parish ANDREW and 1 female are again listed in the 40-50 age group. In his household, also, were 1 male 5-10, 2 males 15-20, 1 male 20-30, 1 female under 5, 1 female 5-10, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 15-20, and 1 female 20-30. In the 1850 Census ANDREW PRIESTER and his household are listed by names for the first time. ANDREW was 60, a farmer with real estate valued at $250.00. The most significant information in this census was the absence of any female near ANDREW's age in his household. His wife must have died during the preceding decade. Listed in the household were Rebecca 36, JACOB 29, WILLIAM 26, McFORD 20, Mary 16, and Nancy 6. Was Rebecca a daughter, or a new young wife? In the "Records of The Prince William Primitive Baptist Church, 1812-1912, Hampton County, S.C.", by Vina Chandler Price, C.G., Elizabeth Priester was reported to have died March 4, 1844. She would have been of the approximate age to have been ANDREW's first wife, and may have died during the birth of Nancy Priester in 1844. Collective efforts failed to produce any proof of Elizabeth Priester's maiden name. Harriett (Barnes) Priester, his second wife is listed as dead November 15, 1884. In the 1860 Census in the Beaufort District, St. Luke's Parish, ANDREW was listed as age 83, a farmer with real estate valued at $400.00. In the household were Mary L. 20, Nancy 17, and Perry 5. The 1870 Census did not list ANDREW PRIESTER in any household in Beaufort or Barnwell County. However, in the Peeples Township, Prince William's Parish, the families of GEORGE, MILES, WILLIAM, JOHN, JACOB, and CHARLES PRIESTER were listed. If ANDREW PRIESTER had a Will, it must have been lost with the records of the Beaufort District. A thorough search failed to establish the date of ANDREW's death or where he was buried. However, other evidence indicated he was living until 1871. Beaufort County Deeds, Vol. 7, Page 192, April 6, 1858, lists ANDREW PRIESTER, planter, of the state and county aforesaid, to JOHN M. PRIESTER of same for $140 in hand, 32 acres situated on the Whippy Swamp waters of Saltketchers bounded North and West by land of John F. Platts, east by lands of the said ANDREW PRIESTER, and South by land of Mary Priester and Mary Mole. ANDREW PRIESTER (seal) Wit: W. F. PRIESTER, Robert J. Manaker. On May 4, 1871, Beaufort County, W. F. PRIESTER swore that he with ANDREW PRIESTER signed the within written Deed and that he'with R. J. Manaker witnessed the execution thereof. Recorded April, 1873.

| 194 | JACOB CHARLES PRIESTER was a Private in the 3rd Regiment Cavalry of the Confederate Army, along with several other members of the PRIESTER family. He enlisted October 16, 1863 and appears' on the rolls of Prisoners of War belonging to the Confederate Army .... who surrendered at Augusta, Georgia on May 24, 1865. In the 1870 Census of Beaufort County, Prince William's Parish, JACOB CHARLES was listed as age 50, farming with real estate of $300 and personal property of $150. Rebecca was listed as age 45. They had to children: JOHN 6, and Mary 4. Fortunately for us, CHARLES PRIESTER did leave a Will wherein he was styled as JACOB CHARLES PRIESTER of Beaufort County, June 11, 1872. He stated that he was in feeble health, but sound of mind. His brother, WILLIAM F. PRIESTER, was to be the Executor to whom he conveyed all of his property, both real and personal. His children were mentioned, but not by name (Part of the original document is illegible). His wife was mentioned as Sara Rebecca (formerly Williams). Signed JACOB CHARLES (X) PRIESTER. Wit: D. W. Platt, W. F. Mole, H. H. Harvey. The Will was filed for probate on July 19, 1872. Apparently there were some problems with the Will as the administration returns were not concluded until 1880. By that time, Hampton County had been formed and the will was filed there in the Probate Records, Package #495. On June 11, 1872, CHARLES PRIESTER also signed a Deed to his brother, WILLIAM F. PRIESTER, Beaufort County, Vol. 6, Page 324-325. "JACOB CHARLES PRIESTER to WILLIAM F. PRIESTER in consideration for $200.00 in hand, did bargain, sell and release all the plantation or tract of land in Peeples Township, except one acre for the Isaac Ellis graveyard, containing one hundred acres situated on the Coosawatchie Road, about one mile from its junction with the Pocotaligo Road, bounded on the NORTH by lands of the former estate of Samuel Lewis, now of George H. Hoover, and on all other sides by lands belonging to the estate of B. M. McBride." This land was also known as the upper part of the White House or Horse Tract. JACOB CHARLES (X) PRIESTER, June 11, 1872. Wit: D. W. Platts, W. F. Mole, H. H. Harvey. Recorded July 19, 1872. JACOB CHARLES's wife, -Sara Rebecca Priester, was listed in the Beaufort County Deeds, Vol. F, Page 466. On August 1, 1873, Sara Rebecca Priester made a Deed for a gift to her children, JOHN ANDREW, and Mary Louisa. The Deed also mentioned certain livestock and personal items. H. Goethe was appointed as Trustee. In the event of his death, J. A. PRIESTER was to be appointed Trustee until the children became of age. Signed, Sara Rebecca (x) Priester. Wit: Mary Lewis. Recorded September 27, 1873. Sara Rebecca Priester later married Don J. Sinclair and had three children. JOHN and Mary PRIESTER were listed in the 1880 Census of Hampton County in the household of Don J. Sinclair.

| 195 | Jacob Leitner, Jr. and Charlotte Souter were United in Holy bonds of matrimony by Rev. John P. Cook. They settled near the lines of Fairfield and Richland Counties in Richland on land given him by his Father where they lived until in the year Dec. 1855. They started to Florida on 13th of Dec. by private conveyance and landed In Florida Jan. 8 1856. They settled in Marion County, East Florida later known as Anthony, Florida. Jacob Leitner died Sunday morning, July 20,1884 at the age of 76 years, 8 months and 15 days. He had been for many years a member of the Methodist church and died in full triumph of Christian hope. He has a very prominent place in the early establishing of the Methodist Church in Florida and was the founder of the Spring Hill church and in the history of the M.E. churches in Florida says "For all of our knowledge of it's predecessors Hickory Grove and Andrew's Chapel" Quoting also, "People from the north began to come into this section after 1874, and in 1876, Mr. Leitner sold his home place to Col. Anthony from Muncie, Indiana. The railroad had been surveyed and would be built within a few years through the Leitner property." Jacob Leitner reserved land at this time for the Anthony Cemetery, where he and his wife and many, many of his descendants are buried. (Fannie P. Kipp note: Their granddaughter, Lizzie Fife was the first person to be buried there. In 1876 definite boundaries were put on the land.) Again quoting "Mr. Leitner was the class leader, the song leader and one of the most earnest and forceful of its new members. His house was always the preacher's home. All members of his family were staunch members. They could always be depended upon to hold up his hands. TRULY, METHODISM AND LOVE FOR THE CHURCH WERE THE FRUITFUL HERITAGE OF HIS MANY DESCENDANTS. (Fannie P. Kipp note: ((1971)) 94 year old Papa, Clarence C.Priest, was 8 years old when his Grandpa Leitner died. He remembers that Grandpa could be heard a quarter mile away saying family prayers.) Mrs. Charlotte Leitner of Griner Farms, Marion County passed her 82 birthday Feb. 20, 1902 [This date is disagrees with other records]. She was married at the age of 14 years. She gave birth to 10 children and reared 9 to manhood and womanhood, who like their Mother married early in life. She had 58 living grand children and fifty living great grand children. It would require time to count the number of deaths of grand and great-grand children not included in the above, which is approximately thirty. She is still physically active and mentally vigorous, reads without her glasses and does not feel too old or too learned to attend Sunday School regularly as a scholar. Her mother died at age 93 and her great grandmother at age 115. There was a family reunion Sunday, Feb. 10, 1907 at the hospitable home of Buford H. Leitner to celebrate the 87th birthday of his Mother. Many of her descendants and children were there to extend congratulations and wish Mrs. Leitner many more happy birthdays. Mrs. Charlotte Leitner not withstanding her advanced years had the use of all her faculties and is not only active but true to her ideas of thrift and industry and does not permit idle moments to wear out her mind. She died at her daughter's, Mrs. Alfred Proctors home at 11 o'clock on the night of Oct. 18, 1909 in her 89th (should this be 90th) year. She was buried at the Anthony Cemetery. His epitaph reads, "Sleep father dear and take thy rest; God called thee home, he thought it best." In addition to several of his sons and sons-in law, At least two of Jacob's nephews, Wesley Smith and John Weiley Leitner (both of S.C.) were killed in this war. (Researched by Fannie Belle Priest Kipp from papers obtained from the Florida and South Carolina Archives and from stories told by relatives.) Written by Dorothy Spencer Wright (told to her by her Grandmother,Maria Proctor Leitner) "When Jacob Leitner, Jr. as a boy of 14, first saw his future wife she was a baby in a crib.

| 199 | John Adam Black was born in 1784 in Glasgow, Scotland near Dundee. He was a Scottish publisher. He died in 1855 in Glasgow, Scotland. The foundation of Glasgow University was in 1451. The Education Act was passed in 1496. John Adam Black attended school in Dundee and became a writer. He later obtained employment as an accountant in Edinburgh, Scotland. He attended classes at the University and was doing some library work. Dundee is a Scottish seaport sixty miles north of Edinburgh -on the Firth of Tay. World famous candy and marmalade came from Dundee. Firth is a narrow arm of the sea in Scotland. John Adam became a reporter for the London Morning Chronicle in 1810 and editor in 1817. He also published translations of Political Essays on New Spain from 1811-1812. John Adam was a patron of Charles Dickens, whose connection with the Chronicle began in 1835. He was a friend of John Stuart Mill and Lord Brougham. John Stuart says that John Adam played a really important part in the progress. John Adam married Fediment Bruce. They both stayed in Glasgow, Scotland. John and Fediment had four children. The three sons came to America by boat to Charleston, South Carolina. Each one went their separate ways. 1. Jo Black, a tailor by trade went to Louisiana. 2. Bruce Black - no information. 3. John Alexander Black came to Blackville and built the first house and Blacksmith shop. 4. Annie Black married Robert de Bruce, king of Glasgow, Scotland. They both stayed in Glasgow, Scotland. The preceding information is from family notes and stories, but the source has not been positively identified. According to Internet research done by Donna Hackett, the first Robert the Bruce was King from 1306-1329, the second was Robert II from 1371-1390 and the last was Robert III from 1390-1406. The last Monarch of Scotland was in 1714 and in 1707 Scotland signed The Act of Union becoming part of the United Kingdom/Great Britain. Annie Black was not born until 1804, so we are not related to any royality of Scotland. While this is disappointing, I did find a Castle in our past. It seems that the Blacks are part of the MacLean Clan and Duart Castle, in the Isle of Mull, was the seat for the MacLeans. I have attached the information showing our link as well as information on the MacLeans and Duart Castle. | BLACK, John Adam (I97)
