James Bellah Knowles(1833-1865)

James Bellah Knowles was born in Henry Co. GA, April 24, 1833. He was the only 
son of James(Sr.)and Lucy(Thomas)Knowles. He married Lavonia C. Williamson, 
oldest daughter of Nathan C. and Agness(Thompson)Williamson in Butts Co. on 
November 5, 1859. This large(27" x 31")portrait was likely painted in Nashville 
or New Orleans, while he studied medicine at the University of Nashville(Nov. 
1857-Feb. 1858)or, later at the University of Louisiana(Tulane)where he 
graduated in 1858-59? Prior to his medical training, he taught school in Henry 
Co. at the O'Dell Academy-in Bersheba, in 1855 & 1856.  In early 1857, he moved 
to Butts Co. where he was tutored by Dr. James H. Bryans at Worthville. He left 
a personal "Journal", now in the Georgia State Archives(microfilm-private 
papers)which covered the years 1852-1858. He is buried in the Williamson/ 
Knowles Cemetery in Butts Co.
