Howdy:

Martha Shurd Boon marriage to John P. Clegg is recorded in Maury Co Tennessee, not NC.

Hope this helps.

I'm searching for parents of Martha Shurd Boon. I'm a directdescendant of her brother Joseph Boon. You have anything to share?

Biography* Mrs. W. B. (M. Louise Culpepper) Broach wrote 27 Sep 1978: When the [Charles William Culpepper] family moved from Haralson, his oldest daughter stayed and married a young man named Willie Gay. She was her father's heart's desire -- he called her 'Scrap' because she was a little person -- and he grieved over leaving her.
      Eleanor Culpepper Willingham visited the W. F. Gay home and saw a picture of Annira whom Eleanor described in a 13 Jul 1984 letter as "a rather plump lady, black hair, parted in middle - a very pleasant expression - round face." The dates given with the picture indicate that Annira was born in 8 Mar 1869 and died 10 Sep 1931 but she was listed in the 1850 census as an 8 month old child so the birth year is definitely incorrect. Annira was buried in the Gay Family Cemetery whose records indicate a birth 3 Dec 1849 and a death 10 Sep 1935.

The following is from a manuscript by Kathryn English Culpepper, as transcribed by Gayle L. Poole:

She was small and lively "the apple of her father's eye". She had nicknamed her "Scrap". She was in love with W.F. Gay, but Charles considered him a worthless fellow, who had not a dime, but when Charles decided to leave Coweta County "Anna" eloped with W. F. because she did not want to move.

W. F. resented her father's attitude and moved to show him he could take care of Anna. He wound up being the county's leading citizen, owned over 2,000 acres of rich farm land, built the town , which bears his name.

He had many tenant farmers working on his place, and ran a Commissary to take care of all their needs. He built a store "and sold everything from a row of pins to a two horse wagon. His store, which stands, today also houses the Post Office. He took his
young grandson Alvin Keith, as a partner in the store, named "Gay and Keith" and trained Alvin to run the business. Alvin lived with his grandparents and took excellent care of them. He ran the business until his death.

"Anna" was bright and cheerful and happy, and they had a happy family.

[Note from Dorothy Gay Poole and Gayle L. Poole. William Franklin Gay opened his Mercantile in 1890 in a 2 story wooden structure, and the 2 story brick building that stands there today was built in 1911. It was Joseph Roswell Gay that brought his nephew. Alvin Keith, into the business. On the 1900 US Census it shows that Joseph R. Gay had acquired some 10,000 acres of farm land, making him one of the largest land owners in Meriwether County. Alvin's grand nieces and nephews called him "Attie"].

Biography* William Franklin was known as "Willie." The following is from p. 1 of a booklet, "Gay, Georgia," about the town which was named for William Franklin Gay: In 1882 Mr. William F. Gay, who was the grandson of Mr. Sasser and who was then living in the home with the widow of Mr. Sasser, opened a small store here and in a few years it seemed that a post office was needed. Mr. Gay applied for one but since there was a Post Office in the Southern part of the state named Sasser, the department refused to name the new Post Office Sasserville. Mr. Henry R. Harris, who was in Congress at that time and who was assisting Mr. Gay in securing the post office, named the town Gay in honor of Mr. William E. Gay, hence the reason for the place being named Gay. Gay moved along for years with just the one store until Mr. J. W. Estes built another and this was the town until 1908. At that time the A. B. and A. Railroad was built which came right through the little town and along with it came rapid growth, there being erected several brick buildings, stores, warehouses, a bank, and a little later, a sweet potato curing plant. During these years Gay was the largest cotton shipping point in Meriwether County as well as the largest shipping point on the new railroad between Altanta, and Fitzgerald.

W. F. Gay

W. F. Gay, is one of those citizens of Meriwether county who may point with pride to patriotic ancestry, two of his great-grandfathers having served with valor in the revolutionary struggle. Some time after the war the son of one of these men, Benjamin Gay, brought his wife, Mrs. Ann (Gay) Gay, from their native state, North Carolina, to settle in Georgia. Their son, Columbus Gay, married Miss Martha Sasser, a daughter of William and Elizabeth (Beverly) Sasser. The father of the former served throughout the revolution under Gen. Washington and to the day of his death bore on his head the scars of several wounds received in that war. This family was also of North Carolina nativity, but William Sasser came to Georgia early in the century and settled in Monroe county. The move being made in mid-winter, with the ground frozen, and the settlement in the woods, much suffering and privation was entailed upon the settlers while, with the aid of kind neighbors, they constructed a home. Mr. Sasser served in the war of 1812, and in 1829 transferred his family to Meriwether county and again created a home in the wilderness. In these days of comfort, with the countless conveniences of modern life, it is hard to realize what our predecessors of one or two generations had to endure. Around this lonely home towered the primeval forest, in whose shadows lurked the timid deer and the ravenous wolf. Many a night were the slumbers of the pioneer family broken, and their hearts filled with far, by the hideous and terrifying howls of the wolves. Many a morning saw their stock of sheep, pigs or calves diminished as the result of these marauding visits. Neighbors were distant and privileges few. For years they rode fifteen miles for the purpose of attending church. Mr. Sasser, desiring to increase the educational facilities for his own and his neighbor’s children, gave two acres of land for the purpose of erecting an academy. The son of Columbus and Martha (Sasser) Gay, W.F. Gay,
was born here in 1850. He passed his early years on the farm, but received a good education, and has developed a very fine business talent, as well as cultivating his farm with great success. For twelve years he has resided at Gay, carrying on a thriving mercantile trade. The respect in which he is held by his fellow-citizens is evinced by the responsibilities they have laid upon
him. He has been county bailiff, justice of the peace, and for the last six years county commissioner. His wife was Miss Anna Culpepper, daughter of Charles and Jane (English) Culpepper, old settlers of Coweta county, and natives of South Carolina. Mr. Culpepper was a soldier in the late war. Mrs. Gay was born in Coweta county in 1849, and is a member of the Primitive Baptist church. Mr. and Mrs. Gay were married in 1869, and their union has been blessed with eleven children: John, Emma, Lula, Mattie, Henry, Leila, Joe, Dallie, Ben, Bessie and Iva.

According to Mrs. Eleanor Culpepper Willingham in a 13 Jul 1984 letter, the Cotton Pickin Fair which is held in Gay features "'Grandpa's House' which is the old [William Franklin] Gay Home. The rooms are rented to groups for crafts for the fair but the long hall holds family protraits. Explanatory notes are in some black frames. The portraits are in the original old antique frames." According to Eleanor, one plaque gives the date of birth for W. F. Gay as 20 Aug 1869 but this is impossible because his first child was born in 1870. The cemetery record gives his date of birth as 17 Sep 1850.

Elam Culpepper was listed (56-1) in the 1900 census of Gordon Co., GA with his wife and younger children. He was listed as having been born Sep 1851 in Georgia. In the 1910 census of Clayton County, GA, a 59 year old Elam was listed (10-19) with his wife and daughter, Ludie and son, Joseph. The following obituary comes from the Calhoun Times , Gordon Co, GA, 12 Dec 1935: REV. E. CULPEPPER DIES DECEMBER 5 -- Well Known Curryville Minister Passes at Hospital in Rome -- Rev. E. Culpepper, one of Georgia's most able and beloved Baptist ministers, passed away at a Rome hospital after a week's illness of pneumonia on December 5. For several years he had been in declining health. Mr. Culpepper was the son of Charles William Culpepper and Mary Jane English. He was born September 14, 1851, at Haralson, Coweta County, GA. His education was obtained at Mercer University. After entering the ministry at the age of 29, he held pastorates in the following cities: Jonesboro, McDonough, Locust Grove, Fairburn, Hogansville, Senoia, Ashburn, First Church of Cordele, and Fifth Avenue, of Rome. When his health failed about 30 years ago, he moved to his country home near Curryville and served churches in Gordon and Floyd counties.... Hundreds of friends of the deceased were in attendance at the funeral service and the interment which followed at West Union cemetery, amid a wealth of floral offerings seldom equalled.

      In a 5 Nov 1978 letter, Mrs. W. B. (M. Louise Culpepper) Broach, a niece, wrote about Rev. Elam Culpepper: He was a legend in his own time, a Godly fanatic, if you please. He had a fixation about what he called "God's creatures." He did not believe in killing anything not even a snake. He refused to eat any meat, anything that had to be killed. His land was posted with "no hunting" signs and he never preached a sermon that he did not plead with the men to be kind to their horses. He especially talked to the young men about running their horses on the weekends when they had been plowing with them all the week. Of course, his horses were not exercised enough and were over fed but they had beautiful coats that shone like satin. When there got to be too many cats around the barns, he would get a bucket of water, get down on his knees and pray over the little kittens before he drowned them. The strange thing about all this was that he was the best loved and most highly respected man in the whole country. Even the young men smiled over his fixation about horses and treated him with the utmost respect and I'm sure some of them at least followed his advice.... Before I was born he had a church in Rome, my parents lived in the pastorium with him and kept house for him. That was over 80 years ago, but when they held a communion service, he invited all who repented of their sins and meant to lead a new life to come to the Lord's table. That was simply unheard of at that time, and even now at the First Baptist Church here, they still have closed communion. You would think that the deacons would have fired him, and the fact that they did not shows how much they loved him. When he was out making pastoral calls, he did not only call on his members but called at every house on the block. He also went to every house where there was illness, death or any trouble. People all but worshipped him and that included his own children. They called him "Father" and showed him love and respect. His house was a two-storied frame house with many porches [on land he bought next to his father's farm in Gordon County, almost in sight of his father's old home place. Both of these homes have since burned to the ground in separate fires.] and by the time I was 12 years old, Cousin Charles [Emory Culpepper] had had all those porches glassed in, had put in central heat and electric lights (way before Rural Electrification). My uncle was retired from city churches and just preached around in the country as invited. He was not a big, robust man and he was running his father's old mill on the creek. Cousin Charlie had the latest mill machinery installed for him and he enjoyed grinding corn for his neighbors as long as he lived. He was in his 80's when he died.

      According to Coweta Chronicles (255) Rev. Elam Culpepper as a pastor of White Oak Grove Baptist and (277) E. Culpepper as the 11th pastor at Holly Springs Baptist.

      James Burie Clegg wrote 22 Nov 1978 that he tried to take a picture of the foundation of the old mill on the creek and added "I couldn't get near enough to it, as I had to take it from a bridge (built by the Culpeppers) about 40 yards away." James Burie Clegg wrote 15 Nov 1978 about a visit to the West Union Baptist Church Cemetery: On the road from Calhoun to West Union, which is about 8 or 10 miles out to the west of Calhoun [near the Curryville Community?]. I stopped at a service station-stor at a crossroad to buy gas. The station is owned by an old Negro, 71 years old. He knew several of the Culpeppers and told me "all are gone, now." He said the W. U. Baptist Church allowed his mother to join. I presume Rev. Elam Culpepper was pastor of that church, which is a fairly large white, wooden structure.... Incidentally, there is a "Culpepper Road" near the church. It is a fairly well maintained dirt road. I'm sure it was named for the Culpeppers who settled out there.

      In a 22 Nov 1978 letter, James Burie Clegg added: On the front of a pretty brick church, New Hope Baptist, about two miles away [from West Union Baptist Church or Johnston Chapel?] is a plaque with only one name on it - Rev. Elam Culpepper.

The following is from a manuscript by Kathryn English Culpepper, as transcribed by Gayle L. Poole:

Elam was a Baptist Minister, serving in different churches over Georgia, two of which were at Macon and the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church in Rome.

He was a gentle, kind, Godly man, and his younger years, was prominent in the Southern Baptist Convention. He was a handsome man, and wore gray "away" coat (with long tails). He was much loved all over the country, and after his retirement, was asked to hold meetings at the churches he had served, which he continued to do until ill health prevented. He never preached a sermon that he did not admonish the congregation to be kind to their animals, especially horses and mules. He, himself, owned beautiful black horse named Bob. Bob was a very special animal to him, and always privileged, at any time, anywhere, to stop along the road to rest and crop the grass on the side of the road.

Elam was a vegetarian because he could not stand the thought of eating the meat of any animal. He said that when he looked at the meat he could vision the animal alive and well. He would even step over a bug in the road, to him, animals were
God's creatures and not to be harmed.

He preached in many country churches near to him, and there is a plaque on the front of the Rosedale Baptist Church, where he was the minister, at one time. This a new building, donated by the Charles E. Culpepper Foundation, hence the plague.

WARNER CULPEPPER KILLED IN COAST LINE WRECK --
Former Moultrie Man With Six Others Lose Their Lives When the Dixie Flyer Plunges through Trestle at Alapaha River. Others Injured Fatally.
     The south bound "Dixie Flyer" plunged through the trestle at Alapaha River, twenty-three miles south of Tifton on the Atlantic Coastline Saturday morning at four o'clock. Five cars were demolished, several passengers were killed outright, a number were injured, some of them fatally. Among the dead who had been taken out at eleven o'clock was Warner Culpepper, lumberman, former Moultrie citizen and father of Mrs. C. B. Patterson of this city. The work of taking out the dead and wounded was in progress all the morning. Special trains took surgeons to the scene of the wreck and other trains carried the injured to the road's hospital at Waycross. It was train 95 that wrecked. This train passes Tifton after three o'clock. It was reported from Tifton to the Observer that the wreck was caused by a broken axle on the engine.

     A copy of the funeral notice, preserved by Mrs. F. D. (Betty Lee Collins) Hale, is from The Daily Observer of Moultrie, GA Monday, 27 Mar 1911:

MANY ATTEND FUNERAL SERVICES
     The remains of Warner Culpepper of Tifton, who lost his life in the wreck of the Dixie Flyer Saturday morning, were brought to Moultrie Sunday and laid to rest in the Moultrie Cemetery. The body was brought down on the morning train, accompanied by members of the family and close friends and the deacons of the Tifton Baptist Church who acted as pall bearers. The body lay at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Patterson, on Gay Street, until the afternoon. The funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church at 3:00 in the afternoon, conducted by Rev. J. G. Venable, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, assisted by Rev. J. G. Harrison of Macon, who was here to fill the Baptist pulpit in the absence of pastor Cree. The church was filled with sympathetic friends of the family of the deceased and the service was a sad one. A long procession followed the remains to the cemetery, though the weather was very threatening, and the last sad rites were performed at the grave by Rev. Venable. All during the day the grief stricken family received sympathizing friends at the Patterson home and the floral offering, probably the most beautiful ever witnessed here on such an occasion, attested further to the esteem in which Mr. Culpepper was held here. the family remained over in Moultrie Sunday night.

The following is from a manuscript by Kathryn English Culpepper, as transcribed by Gayle L. Poole:

[Warner was] An energetic, good-natured man. Short and stocky, with light blue, piercing eyes, His family and friends loved him.
