JOHN McCOLLUM 
 
This is the tombstone of John (Washington) McCollum (1805-1883) 
in the Landmark Baptist Church Cemetery, Holly Springs, Cherokee County, 
Georgia. 
John was the son of Daniel McCollum (1760-1850) 
and the brother of William "Billy" McCollum (1789-1876). 

John, his wife Hannah, and their children moved from Habersham County to 
Cherokee County about 1845.  John tried to enlist in Company B of the Cherokee 
Legion of teh Georgia State Guards in 1864, but was exempted from service due 
to age and infirmity. 

Five of his sons served the Confederacy during the Civil War and three died, 
one was wounded and the youngest served for six months at age 17 when the 
Cherokee Legion Cavalry was called up for home guard duty.
