MAUND of Talbot County, Georgia Inside the front cover of the Bible is written “D.C. Maund 1842.” Looking at ink and a very refined handwriting style within the Bible’s family record section, it appears family record information was first entered beginning in 1847,-- three years before D.C. Maund’s death. The first entries within the records are: Marriages: “D.C. and Julia Maund was married December 12th, 1805” Births: “D.C. Maund Sr was Born August 8th, 1781” Deaths: “Putnam Maund departed this Life September 6th 1828”. The Maund Bible was apparently passed down from Daniel C. Maund (1781-1850) to Joseph Henry Maund (1842-1911), Joseph Barnard Maund (1878-1946), Ella Ligon Maund Phillips (1909-1995), and James Barnard Phillips (1940 - Present). It is only on the immediate descendants (children) of these persons that records were maintained in this Bible. Parents of Daniel C. Maund William Maund…………… Mary Maund……………… Malachia Maund Born:_______________ Born: ________________ Born: _____________ Married:____________ Married:______________ Married: After 1761, NC Died: About 1761 Died: About 1795 Died: ______________ | | Children: Hardy Maund Children: Malachia Maund, NC Lott Maund Daniel Champin Travis Maund Polly (Mary) Maund Nancy Maund, NC Rebekah Maund, NC Notes: Above information as contained in “Kyseeker’s Western Kentucky Database.” Apparently William Maund and wife, Mary (maiden name unknown), of North Carolina had two children, Hardy and Lott. Following William Maund’s death about 1761 Mary then married Malachia Maund, probably a relative of William Maund, and they had five children: Malachia, Daniel, Polly (probably a nickname for Mary), Nancy and Rebekah. It appears Mary’s second marriage, to Malachia Maund, and their children’s births occurred in North Carolina. In the “Kyseeker’s” data base it is also reported that William Maund’s mother, Priscilla Sugg, was born about 1697 at Norfolk, Virginia, and that William’s sister, Esther Maund, was born in 1752 at Norfolk, Virginia, was married in 1768 at Tarboro, North Carolina, and died in 1841 at Edgecombe (County) , North Carolina. Although William Maund was not the father nor direct ancestor of Daniel Maund, this information strongly suggest the possibility that Daniel originated from Edgecombe County, NC, (which includes the city of Rocky Mount, NC and the town of Tarboro). In a McIntosh County, Georgia genealogy query on May 29, 2000 concerning a Glidwell Killebrew the following was entered: “Glidwell Killebrew was a resident of McIntosh, 271st District, when he registered for the 1832 land lottery. He was born about 1791 in Edgecombe Co., NC and left before 1805, likely with his uncles Daniel Maund and Robert Killebrew (Jr.). The uncles were in Burke (County) by 1805 and soon thereafter in Putnam Co., GA.” This entry indicates Daniel Maund left Edgecombe County, NC before 1805, that he was in Burke County by 1805 (unclear if this is Burke County, NC east of Asheville or Burke County, GA south of Augusta), and soon thereafter in Putnam County, Georgia. Putnam County is located in the center of the state north of the town of Milledgeville. It is interesting to note that Daniel’s ninth child, who was born in 1824 and almost four years old at his death in 1828, was named Putnam.

There are discrepancies between family Bible and Civil War rosters on William’s middle initial, and the date and battle where his fatal wounds received. Above is from the Bible. Will Abstract of Daniel C. Maund An original copy of Daniel C. Maund’s will has been preserved with the family Bible. This abstract was copied from the Talbot County Book of Wills as posted on the internet: Joseph Henry Maund Bible and other records indicate that Joseph Henry Maund and Ella Reedy Curley of Talbot County, Georgia were married on January 27, 1870 and had seven children. Joseph would have been 27 years old at the time of their marriage. Ella Reedy Curley was the sister of Captain Barnard Curley, organizer of Talbot County’s Company A, 4th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry (Southern Rifles). Curley was a Talbotton tailor and business partner of the Jewish emigrant Lazarus Straus, who later with his sons bought out and formed what became the modern-day Macy’s department store of New York. By wars end Captain Curley had been promoted to Colonel. According to the 1850 Talbot County census Barnard Curley was 27 years old, occupation as a tailor, married to Mary who was 22 years, and had two children,-- Ella F. age 4 and Winfield age 6 months. Apparently Ella F. was named for Barnard’s sister, Ella Reedy Curley. Captain Barnard Curley died January 1, 1898; his wife Mary Ann Rebecca Reeder lived April 15, 1835 to November 23, 1911 and both are buried in Talbotton’s Oak Hill Cemetery, apparently Mary in an unmarked grave.

Christiana Maund Born: December 17, 1882 Married: ______________ Died: ______________ It was believed that Joseph H Maund, along with Joseph Barnard and Josephine A. Ligon Maund, was buried in the Geneva Cemetery; however cemetery surveys indicate Joseph H. Maund is buried in Talbotton. Surveys do not indicate where Joseph H. Maund’s wife, Ella Reedy Curley Maund, is buried. There is a Maund Family Cemetery located a couple miles southwest of Geneva off Georgia Highway 355, between US 80 and the Juniper Station of the Muscogee Railroad. The old Maund plantation home, probably the home of Daniel C. Maund, is near the Juniper Station on Juniper Farm Road. The Maund Family Cemetery has not been surveyed and entered on the internet, thus one can only assume that many of Daniel C. Maund and, perhaps, Joseph H. Maund’s descendants are buried there. Joseph Barnard Maund and Josephine Agusta Ligon Maund Joseph Barnard was no doubt named for his father, Joseph Henry, and his uncle, Captain Barnard Curley. Barnard became a common name within the family, no doubt due to the folk-hero status of Captain Barnard Curley. Joseph Barnard was a jeweler by trade, working in various locations including Manchester, Talbotton, Junction City, Demopolis Alabama, and Spartenburg South Carolina. It is interesting to note that in the will abstract for Daniel C. Maund that Daniel’s watch, chain and key was specifically passed down to his son, Joseph Henry; and it would be Joseph Henry’s son, Joseph Barnard, who would become a jeweler. In 1903 Joseph Barnard (nicknamed Barney) married Josephine Agusta Ligon (nicknamed Josie.) Josephine was the daughter of William Jasper and Eliza Ann Miller Ligon who were married in 1867, and the granddaughter of Henry and Francis Ligon and Jacob George and Elizabeth Joyce Collins Miller. About 1914, Joseph and Josephine settled and maintained their home in Junction City, and in his later years Joseph maintained a jewelry/watch repair shop in his home. In the early 1940’s Joseph Barnard Maund served several years as Talbot County’s representative to the Georgia State Legislature. It was during a 1946 special session of the legislature that Representative Maund suffered a heart attack and died in Atlanta. Ligon Family Connection (extracts from “The Ligon Family and Connections”) Because the Ligon family was so prominent in Talbot county and there is a marriage connection between the Maund and Ligon families, information that is readily available has been extracted about the Ligon family. It is interesting to note that the genealogical research of the Ligon families of Talbot County indicate that many, many Ligons are buried in the Geneva Cemetery, Geneva, Georgia; however cemetery surveys that are on the internet do not reflect nearly all these individuals. Perhaps there was a Ligon Family Cemetery in the immediate vicinity of Geneva. Henry Ligon was born about 1775 to Captain Joseph and Judith Ligon in Halifax Co., Virginia. Captain Joseph and Judith Ligon had seven sons: Blackman, John, Joseph, Thomas, James, Henry, and Obediah. The next record of Henry is found in the History of Talbot Co., Georgia, written by Robert H. Jordan. Henry Ligon bought one of the 26 approved lots laid out for the City of Talbotton, Talbot Co., Georgia in 1828. The 1830 Census of Talbot County gives Henry’s age (50-60), wife Francis age (20-30), with five children. The 1840 census his age (60-70), with five sons and three daughters. Henry died between the 1840 and 1850 census. The 1850 census gives us the names and ages of children for the first time. Francis, a widow age 47. Children: William Jasper 25, Joseph 24, Elizabeth 22, Obediah 20, James 15, and Thomas T. 12. The main way of establishing the connection of Henry Ligon to Captain Joseph Ligon was that Henry gave four of his sons the same name as that of his brothers. 1880 census of family members established that Henry was born in Virginia and Francis (maiden name unknown) was born in Maryland. It appears that Francis, widow of Henry Ligon, married Elijah Bolin, Nov. 26, 1848 and, with her younger children, moved from Talbot County to Stewart County, Ga. between 1850 and 1860. Of Henry and Francis Ligon’s children the following is recorded: William Jasper married Eliza Ann Miller Feb. 14, 1867; Joseph, no information; Elizabeth married Samuel T. Jordan Oct. 3, 1855; Obediah E., no record found of marriage, was killed at Camp Pine Creek, Va., 1861; James married Sarah A. Tommy July 1850, a Private killed at Spotsylvania, Va., 1864; and Thomas T. married Carolyn Elizabeth Cain in Stewart County, Ga. Although assumed Henry was buried in Talbot County, there are no cemetery surveys posted on the internet that indicate a burial location for Henry Ligon, William Jasper Ligon, the eldest child of Henry and Francis Ligon, was born Talbot Co., Georgia between 1820 and 1830. According to census records, was born in 1825, but other family records show 1829. Married Eliza Ann Miller Feb. 14, 1867, Talbotton, Ga. She was born May 4, 1844, daughter of Jacob George and Elizabeth Joyce Collin Miller. William Jasper served in the Civil War. He died Sept. 22, 1889 and Eliza Ann died Dec. 18, 1923. Both are reported buried in the Geneva Cemetery, Geneva, Georgia. Children born to William Jasper and Eliza Ann Ligon were (all born in Talbot Co.): 1. Addie Victoria Ligon, b. April 14, 1868 m.

Walton Beach, Florida Florida Children: None Children: James Barnard Phillips Joseph and Josephine Maund afforded their daughters, Vera and Ella, a happy and, for the times, a cultured upbringing. Both learned art and to play musical instruments, and they attended boarding schools and junior colleges. Specifically, Ella Ligon learned piano and violin and played for many social events and teas throughout Talbot County. Ella received diplomas from South Georgia College’s High School, McRae, Georgia in 1926, South Georgia College, McRae, Georgia in 1928, and State Agricultural and Normal College, Americus, Georgia in 1930. She also attended for a year at the University of Georgia. For approximately six years Ella taught school in Talbot County before moving to teach in Saint George, Georgia (Charlton County) in 1937. About the same time, Vera moved to Jacksonville, Florida where she ultimately worked for Fisk’s department store, and married Russell “Dutch” Ratley. One of many memories,-- for birthdays and Christmas it was always a treat to receive gifts from an aunt who worked in a department store. Another memory was the feline member of their family named “Snookie.” Both Russell and Vera are buried in Riverside Cemetery, Jacksonville, Florida. Joseph and Josephine were highly respected and loved members of the Talbot County area. Tributes given Josephine following hear death, as contained in two articles of the April 5th, 1934 issue of the Talbotton New Era included: “The death of Mrs. J.B. Maund on Wednesday morning at 9:00 o’clock removed from our midst one of the best citizens and friends of our county. Her passing came as a surprise to all her many friends and we feel that her life has been an example to all…. We are reminded that death is constantly bearing our loved ones away, and it is with full hearts and tender memories that we pay this tribute to Mrs. Maund, whose gentle and beautiful spirit was wafted away… She was ill for more than a week and all that loving hands could do was of no avail. To know here was to love her. We have only lost her for a moment, but her memory is engraved in our hearts too deep for forgetfulness…. She lived in Talbot County all her life, and had lived at Junction City twenty years. She joined the Methodist church in early childhood and was a faithful and devout member. By her kind, thoughtful and gentle manner she had endured herself to all with whom she came in contact and will be greatly missed in the community… I speak of her life as the quiet workman not stimulated simply by hope of reward here and the praise of people, but in her modest, gentle way she lived. And we can say of such the world is not worthy. Their conversations is in heaven. She is a citizen of the common wealth of ages… I can truthfully say of her life, ‘We done thou good and faithful servant, enter now into a more blissful life.’” Likewise, Joseph Barnard Maund was a loved and respected member of the Talbot County area, as well as a member of the State Legislature. He, too, was a member of the Methodist Church and served as District Lay Leader, which included Methodist churches of several west central Georgia counties. Upon Joseph’s death in Atlanta, messages of praise and personal loss were issued by the Governor of the State of Georgia and others within the state and local area. Following Josephine’s death in 1934, Joseph Barnard married a widow, Margaret Jones, referred to as “Miss Margaret.” Following his death in 1946, Miss Margaret returned to remain near her family around Montezuma, Georgia until her death in August, 1972. James Clinton and Ella Ligon Maund Phillips James Clinton Phillips ---------------------------Ella Ligon Maund Born: August 6, 1908, China Grove, Ala. Born: October 14, 1909, Spartenburg, SC Married: March 27, 1939, Folkston, Ga. | Children: | James Barnard Phillips Born: June 22, 1940, Quitman, Ga. James Clinton Phillips of Andalusia, Alabama, born August 6, 1908 in China Grove, Pike County, Alabama, met Ella Ligon Maund while both were teaching school in St. George, Georgia. What a difference in background,-- Ella from an affluent past and Clinton who plowed behind a mule on the family farm until he was 21, and then with $100 and a suitcase went off to work his way through high school and college. Following a brief engagement, Clinton and Ella Ligon were married in the Methodist parsonage in Folkston, Georgia on March 27, 1939. The following school year they moved to Brooks County, Georgia where Clinton was principal and Ella taught in a rural school called Sand Hill. On June 22, 1940 their only child, James Barnard Phillips, and only grandchild of Joseph Barnard Maund, was born. Named for his father and grandfather Maund,-- he has continued to maintain the Barnard name. Following James Barnard’s birth, the family moved to Tift County, Georgia where, again, Clinton was a principal and Ella taught. This was a pattern for many, many years. In 1943 they moved to Crawfordville, Florida, south of Tallahassee, and a year later they moved to Highland City, Florida near Lakeland in the center of the state. It was here that Clinton was principal of an elementary and junior high school and Ella taught second grade. It was also here that Ella completed all course requirements and received her bachelor’s degree from Florida Southern College. Clinton also received his master’s degree through extension courses and three summer sessions the family spent at the University of Alabama. It was of those early, although short, years that James Barnard has fond and vivid memories of Junction City, visiting Grandfather Maund, Miss Margaret, and their housekeeper “Lummy,” playing with the older Heath boys next door, and walking the Central of Georgia tracks down to the overpass where the highway led to Geneva and Talbotton. It was at Lumpkin’s Barber Shop that James received his first haircut. There were also the memories of an anxious nighttime drive from Florida to Atlanta in March 1946, the anguish when arriving at the Atlanta hospital to learn that Representative Maund had died of his heart attack, a casket and body in viewing in the living room, the funeral service in Junction City’s Methodist church, and a rainy, cloudy internment at Geneva Cemetery. Such are vivid memories that have remained for 55 years. Following the summer of 1946 and a meeting with Vera to finalize Joseph’s estate affairs, Ella Ligon never returned to Junction City… until the spring of 1977. In 1951, Clinton and Ella Ligon moved only seven miles to Lakeland, Florida, where Clinton became a high school principal and Ella continued to teach in nearby Highland City. Five years later, in 1956, they moved to Hialeah in Miami-Dade County, Florida,-- again Clinton becoming a principal and Ella teaching 3rd grade. They remained there until retirement—Ella having taught for 36 years and Clinton for 34 years. While living in Hialeah, James Barnard attended the University of Miami, married Patricia Lynn Jettner, and became an officer in the United States Air Force. In 1973, Clinton and Ella Ligon moved from Miami to Fort Walton Beach on Florida’s panhandle, and there they built a beautiful home on the bay. This allowed them to be close to Clinton’s remaining relatives in south Alabama. In the spring of 1977, when James Barnard and family were living in Troy, Alabama, Clinton and Ella Ligon traveled up to Troy to spend Easter weekend. James Barnard urged Ella Ligon to spend that Saturday by driving over to visit Junction City. Although she was reluctant to go at first, that day for Ella Ligon, as well as Clinton and James Barnard, was a beautiful step back 30 years into the past. The old Maund home, by the railroad tracks and next door to the Heath’s place, had recently been remodeled inside, fresh paint outside, and the flowers and grass were in their glory. Ella Ligon was as excited as the child who had lived there 50 years earlier, knocking on doors up and down Junction City’s streets seeking out acquaintances of the past. And Mr. Lumpkin was still in his shop cutting hair. Often it is hard to go back to the past, but that trip was an exception. It was Ella Ligon’s last visit to Talbot County. A month after that trip to Junction City, Clinton died of a heart attack while he and Ella Ligon were gathering potatoes from their garden. For another 18 years Ella Ligon lived in Fort Walton Beach, where she was able to see her three grandchildren married and the birth of two great grandchildren,-- including James Barnard Phillips III. Ella Ligon died on September 15, 1995 and was buried by James Clinton in Fort Walton Beach.

Julie Elizabeth Phillips Born: July 1, 1999, Melbourne, Florida James Barnard and Patricia (Pat) met while in the high school age youth group of the Hialeah (Fla) Methodist Church, where she asked him out on their first date on March 27, 1958. They were married 3 ˝ years later on September 2, 1961 while James was attending the University of Miami and Pat attended Florida State University. In June 1962 James graduated, was commissioned an officer in the U.S. Air Force, and began a military career. Pat, after the birth of their first child, James Barnard, Jr., graduated from Florida State with a degree in nursing. During James’ career, their family had assignments in Charleston, South Carolina; Tachikawa (Tokyo), Japan; Great Falls, Montana; Omaha, Nebraska; Troy, Alabama as an Air Force ROTC professor at Troy State University; and Minot, North Dakota. James retired from the Air Force in 1983 at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and they moved to Fort Walton Beach, Florida to be close to James Barnard’s mother Ella Ligon. James worked as vice president of a defense contractor firm and Pat was employed as a nurse at the Fort Walton Beach Medical Center. Both are presently retired. It was after moving to Fort Walton Beach that James and Pat’s sons completed their college degrees,-- James Barnard, Jr. from Troy State University, and John and Jeffrey from the University of Florida. Currently (2000), James Barnard, Jr. is a Captain in the U.S. Army as an Intelligence Officer, John Charles is a pilot for Continental Airlines and a Major in the Air Force Reserve flying C-5 transport aircraft, and Jeffrey Mark is a registered architect and project team leader in a large architectural/engineering firm. From Captain Barnard to Captain Barnard Even though the Maund name has not survived in this line of descendants through these many generations, it is interesting to note that the Barnard name has been maintained. And more appropriate, as this is written in December 2000, there is currently a “Captain Barnard” (Phillips) serving in the military whose name stems from another “Captain Barnard” (Curley) who served nearly 150 years ago. Whether the names are Maund, Ligon, or Barnard, there is great pride in their links to the past. 1
