James Bellah Knowles(1833-1865)

This close-up was made from a large portrait(15.5" x 19.5" image)of James B. 
Knowles, likely painted in Nashville or New Orleans c.1858, where he attended 
the University of Nashville(Nov. 1857-Feb. 1858)and later graduated from the 
University of Louisiana(Tulane). James Knowles was born in Henry Co. GA April 
24, 1833, the only son of James(Sr.)and Lucy(Thomas)Knowles. In 1855 & 1856, he 
taught school at the O'Dell Academy, in Bersheba in Henry Co.  In early 1857, 
he moved to Butts Co., where he studied medicine under Dr. James H. Bryans at 
Worthville. On November 5, 1859 In Butts Co., he married Lavonia Catherine 
Williamson, oldest daughter of Nathan C. and Agness(Thompson)Williamson. Before 
his premature death, he lived and practiced medicine near today's Ellistown in 
Henry Co. His personal "Journal"(diary)covering the years 1852-1858, is now in 
the Georgia State Archives(microfilm-private papers).
