THOMAS M. AWBREY

Thomas M. Awbrey was born in Georgia about 1820. His parents were among the 
first settlers of Heard county, moving there soon after the county was 
organized. There they died and are buried. Their son Thomas, received a good 
plain education in the country schools of Heard county. About 1840 he was 
married to Miss Gay. He has frequently been Justice of the Peace and has 
filled several offices in Heard county, and is now the Commissioner of its 
Roads and Revenues. He has always been a farmer and is now one of the most 
thrifty planters in his section. He did not enter the army in the late war 
as he was legally exempt. Before and since the war he has been a Democrat in 
politics and has been very earnest in his support of that party. he is a man 
of faultless private character and is highly esteemed in his county. He is a 
deacon in the Baptist church, and a zealous religious worker. His general 
reputation is one of the best character and he will be a good man in his 
State's counsels.
