Notes
a. Note:   Born on a farm in Pike County near Hollansville, GA.
  In the year 1860, one year after marrying Camilla Ann Kelley, he sold his property in Pike County and purchased a farm about 2 miles west of Haralson, Coweta County, Georgia where he reared his family. Here he lived until his death in 1908. After their first child John Wilbon was born, he mustered into the Confederate Army at Griffin, Georgia into the Company of Captain Henry Baker, Company K. 55th Georgia Regiment, on April 26, 1862. He was captured in a battle at Cumberland Gap, Tennessee and sent to the Union prison at Camp Douglas, Illinois where he was held prisoner for twenty-two months when the war ended.
  In early life he united with The Methodist Church, South, and lived a Christian Life in his community as long as he lived. He was a Master Mason for 50 years, first at Erin, now Hollansville, GA Lodge No. 70 and then at Haralson, GA Lodge No. 142.
  All of the children were reared at the home near Haralson. The oldest son, John Wilbon, was the only child born before Benjamin left for service in the Civil War. Legend has it that he walked all the way home after the war. He arrived in the center of town dirty and exhausted with his clothes in tatters. The menfolk of the town, brought out a tub and fresh clothes and cleaned him up right there in the road. When he was presentable, Camilla was then told that her husband was home from the War.
  Of some interest is the fact that at the time when Benjamin and Camilla Ann were rearing their children, the home and farm were they lived actually was in Meriwether County. For reasons not easily available, these lands were added to Coweta County by acts of the State Legislature of 1877, page 274. (See Appendices for picture of this home and an addtional county boundary note of interest)
