Strange J.P. 2nd 1864 To Auh(?) Lea?t? (rest unreadable).............$30.00 1865 Cash in Greenbacks ....................... 15.00 $45.00 This scanned document is one of several pages attached together. The others have to do with the legailites of a suit by Charles Britton Hudson against Seaborn Dozier and presumably this document was evidence in this case.. There is so much of those papers destroyed as for the whole document to make very little sense. I thought this paper interesting and worthy of scanning as it deals with early Schley county and tells us a little about Seaborn Dozier that we may not have known before. First, it would appear from this that Seaborn Dozier may have had a skill or talent, heretofore unknown. This would seem to indicate that he made shoes and tanned leather. This account statement indicates a pair of shoes made for "andrew." This most probably would be Andrew Jackson Glover, son of Isham, who would have been about 19 at this time. Unfortunately the other recipents can not be read from the document. Also note the the last 1865 entry of what seems to be $15.00 "cash in Greenbacks." Seaborn Dozier is buried in the Dozier family cemetery and the dates on his marker indicate he was born 12 Aug 1800 and died 18 Oct 1881. Isham Glover according to a family descendant "was killed in the Civil War and buried near Wash. D.C." If this is accurate then perhaps Seaborn Dozier was attempting to collect this debt from Isham's family. I did find a record of an Isham E. Glover who enlisted in Co. A of the 12th Georgia Infantry (The Muckalee Guards) with the rank of Private and at some point was promoted to Sergeant and killed near Washington, July 13, 1864. This company was made up of men from a number of counties including Sumter, Marion and Macon, so this could indeed have been our Isham Glover. Many unanswered questions here.
