On December 22, 1889, George Pierce Norman (March 2, 1857 - May 26, 1914), son
of Jeptha Washington Norman and Sara Ann Norman, grandson of Elijah Benson
Norman (May 24, 1794 -February 11, 1869) and Jane Satterwhite Higginbotham (July
28, 1797 - July 7, 1884), and great grandson of Revolutionary War veteran John
Norman and Nancy Austin, apparently traveled from Hart County to Lincoln County
to marry Mamie J. Matthews (March 7, 1867 - March 12, 1925).  Of additional
interest, Jane Satterwhite Higginbotham is the grand daughter of Revolutionary
War veteran Samuel Higginbotham (Knight's Roster of Revolutionary Soldiers).

In the Census records prior to Mamie J. Matthews'˜ birth, a John Mathews, age
31, is listed in the 1860 Census for Lincoln County in the family of Joseph
Mathews, age 65, (it must be noted here that census records indicate two
spellings in different census years for Mathews and Matthews) and Letty
Matthews, age 54. Of most interest in the 1860 Census of Lincoln County, Georgia
is that Benjamin Sayre, age 65, occupation painter, and John Cunningham, age 30,
occupation carpenter, are listed at the dwelling and family of Joseph Mathews.
 
Perhaps this is the same John Cunningham listed in the newspaper article attached.
