Individual pages of a lined notebook titled McBride Lineage.
This transcription is partial based on a phone conv with J. Spencer Howell 27 Aug 2007
Joseph, David, and John McBride my grandfather. Joseph and his wife Julia Hornython? Harrington? and David lived for many years in Quincy, Qwincy Flordia. and died there several years several years after my grandfather John's death. Joseph was a wealthy planter he owned many acres of fertile land and many negroes to cultivate it. 2 sons in this family lived to manhood and died of some malicious disease.
Other brother David was a Methodist minister, father of Milton and 2 daughters, Fannie and Louisa. Beauty and perfection of the 2 ladies was remarkable. Father reared motherless dau. wife died before children grown. He was a regular specimen of the scotch type, red hair and all the dignity of a minister. Milton never married.
Mother had sweet memories of her father who died in 1820 (definitely not 1828 as we had prev) at Indian Springs while serving GA as surveyor general. His office was in the old captial at milledgville where the family died. Before this he was a schoolteacher at Eatonton, GA. associated with oldmangeneral? while supervising the work of engineering some of the western counties grandfather was assailed with a fatal malady and died before his friends could reach him. Buried at Indian Springs - not sure if grave is marked.
Mother was born aug 13, 1816 and was 14 years old at the time of her fathers death.
grandma thought it best to return to her old home in Perry, GA and when 16 she married John Johnson in 1832.
On the mcbride family line grandmas maiden name was Veazey her ancestors came from England and I doubt not some of them could be tracked back to heroes of the old Revolution. But never having hear of this am not prepared to give any authentic statement. |
