The Central Georgian - Devoted to Literature, Temperance, and General Miscellany
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Beverly Walden Black is a relative I have never had the pleasure of meeting in person, but who has provided immeasurable
assistance in my efforts to learn about my Walden and Hannah ancestors. She has researched the family in courthouses far and
near and shared her findings freely. I would not have begun the search had it not been for her generosity.
COMPILER’S NOTE
I never set out to transcribe names mentioned in The Central Georgian newspaper. I began this journey in a desperate attempt
to find the death date of my fourth great grandmother Margaret Hannah of Jefferson County, Georgia, in order to help my
daughter complete her D.A.R. membership application. Margaret is the granddaughter of Revolutionary War patriot Thomas
Hanna/Hannah of Burke County, Georgia. She died between August 1850 (census) and September 13, 1854, the date her
husband, Mitchell Walden, donated ten acres of land for the construction of the Walden Methodist Church in Jefferson County.
I checked every source possible, but found nothing. The Central Georgian was the only surviving newspaper from that period
and vicinity that has not been digitized, making it my last hope. However, much to my dismay, the papers from February to
December 1854 – the most likely time of her death – do not exist. I compiled the names found on the pages of The Central
Georgian in an effort to help others who find themselves in my predicament.
INTRODUCTION
The Central Georgian began publication in 1847 in Sandersville, Georgia, and ceased publication on February 2, 1874. On
January 27, 1852, The Central Georgian was published every Tuesday by Samuel B. Crafton. By January 4, 1855, the paper
was simultaneously published every Thursday in Sandersville (Washington County) and in Sparta (Hancock County) under the
banner of The Central Georgian and Sandersville and Sparta Advertiser.
iv
Publication was suspended on March 29, 1855, due to a fire that destroyed most of Sandersville, including the publishing
office and printing press. Publication resumed at the printing office of The Press in Eatonton, Putnam County on May 3, 1855,
under the banner of The Central Georgian – Devoted to Literature, Temperance and General Miscellany with local sections
for Sandersville, Sparta, and Eatonton. On May 10, 1855, the two publications merged under the name the Georgian and
Press. On August 2, 1855, the name reverted to The Central Georgian, with sections for Sandersville and Sparta. On February
29, 1856, the paper changed the publication day to Friday, but returned to Thursday on May 29, 1856. Beginning June 24,
1858, the paper once again only published in Sandersville, and J. M. G. Medlock is listed as the new Editor and Proprietor.
The newspaper’s format remained the same during the entire period. A typical issue had literary selections, humorous
anecdotes, local, regional, national and international news with emphasis on politics and religion. Local sections contained
editorials, meteorology (weather), domestic advice, and farming news. Each edition included two pages of advertisements in
the form of display ads, business cards, and legal notices.
Jailers also posted notices about captured runaway slaves including the slave’s name, physical description, age, the name of the
slave owner, and the location of the plantation. Legal notices advertising estate sales often listed slaves by name and age,
sometimes identifying family units. This could be helpful for persons researching their former slave ancestors.
GENERAL INFORMATION
AGES are typically reported as “aged ___ years” or “in the ___ year of her/his age.” A person “aged 45 years” has already had
their 45th birthday. A person “in the 45th year of her age” is 44 years old.
DATES of marriages and deaths are often reported using the designation “ultimo” (of the last month) or “instant” (of this
month) instead of indicating the actual month. As an example, if the publication date of the newspaper is 22 March 1855 and
the death date is 18 inst., the date of death is 18 March 1855. If the death date is 18 ult., the date of death is 18 February 1855.
There are several instances where the date is unclear and this is noted. Calendars for the years 1852-1858 are included at the
end of this section.
INFORMATION compiled from marriage notices is inclusive and is presented in a standardized format. Information
compiled from obituaries, tributes, deaths, accidents, murders, etc., includes the cause of death, other family members, and any
clues that could assist in further research. Lengthy obituaries and articles are identified. Tributes of Respect published by
v
fraternal societies may include personal information, but typically contain the text of the resolution acknowledging the death of
the society member as recorded in the minutes of the society.
LOCATIONS listed in notices do not always include the city or county. The terms “in this place” and “in this county,” are
often used to identify Sandersville and Washington County. In such instances, this is noted and the latter used as the Event
Location. If the county was not included with the city in the notice, it has been added when possible, based on Georgia Place
Name Maps at http://georgiainfo.galileo.usg.edu/pnalpha.htm and Map Guide to the United States Census by Dollarhide.
These two resources are useful in locating towns that no longer exist or towns that moved due to county boundary changes. If
the same town name exists in multiple counties, the entry is noted.
NAMES in this compilation were found in obituaries, death notices, marriage announcements, tributes, local sections, regional
news articles, and sometimes poems. FamilySearch.org databases were utilized to confirm the identity of some individuals and
the proper spelling of names. Alternate spellings are included and noted. Names found in probate notices are not included in
this compilation, since digital images of Georgia probate records are available at FamilySearch.org. Names found in business
card and display advertisements are not included in this compilation, as they do not provide proof of marriage, death or family
relationship.
If an individual is listed with initials for both first and middle names, the prefix “Miss,” “Mrs.,” or “Mr.” is included, whenever
possible, for clarification. Titles such as “Judge,” “Doctor,” and military ranks as well as the suffix “Esq.” are only attributed
to males in this compilation. As an example: a person identified as “her father, A. R. Jones” is listed as “Jones, A. R. (Mr.).”
Females mentioned in the newspaper typically included the prefix “Miss” or “Mrs.,” indicating marital status. If the prefix
“Mrs.” is not included in this compilation, assume that the individual is a “Miss.”
TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS & MISSPELLINGS abound in the newspaper. Names in this publication are presented as
they appear in the newspaper. Alternate spellings are included if found at FamilySearch.org and are noted. Place names, such
as Screven county, appear as they do in the newspaper (Scriven), without the designation [sic], as it is not known if this was the
common spelling at the time of publication.

Trial for murder of John Bass of Hancock county. Only evidence of much force came
from 12 year old son of Mr. Bass. He stated: Mrs. Hudson came to father's house on
2d instant and went into kitchen. Bass followed her and asked if she wanted to shoot
5 Sep 1857 at him again; she drew pistol and shot him in the left breast; he died instantly. Her
father is Josiah Collins; her husband Joseph Hudson is in Milledgeville jail for shooting
at man at the City Ferry. She appears to be about 25, is good looking and has nothing
in her countenance that indicates the heart of a murderess.
