Collier, Charles Vines Jr 10OC1846 9DE1883 (son of Charles Vines Collier) Enlisted as a private in Co. B, 2d Battn. Ga. Sharpshooters April 6, 1864 . Captured at Nashville, Tenn. December 16, 1864 . Released at Camp Douglas, Ill. May 17, 1865 Married Sarah Mackie Womble at Evans Chapel November 19, 1868. The couple moved onto the Womble plantation near Chalybeate Springs where he died as a very young man on December 9, 1883. Sarah Mackie moved with four young sons to a farm in Meriwether County and when she died on April 11, 1920, she was buried at Macedonia Baptist Church Cemetery, Manchester. Researcher: William Collier (CVCOLLIER@worldnet.att.net) Hough, Mary A 27MH1822 6MY1893 Wife of James Hough Married 6JL1837 Hough, R Alonza 17MH1853 11FE1884 Ray, Cora Ray, John J M 20FE1802 20NO1869 Broken stone Ray, Neal Womble, M A 5NO1867 26JE1914 Womble, M Eudora 6MH1870 27AP1900 Womble, Sallie H 13OC1872 4MH1896 I believe that the Womble burial plot was established by Enoch W. and Ann M. Walker Womble. In the mid-1830s, Enoch moved his family from Upson to Talbot where he bought the plantation. (See "Rock-a-Way in Talbot", Davidson) The burial plot is enclosed by a wrought iron fence that is now in ill-repair. The above three are the only markers left in the plot, the others having disintegrated over time. You can see depressions in the earth where some of the graves have collapsed. I am confident that E. W. and Ann M. Womble, parents of my grandmother, Sarah Mackie, are also buried here but I have no documentation.. I am sure the above Wombles are descendants but so far I have been unable to connect them. ======================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
