To the voters of Wilkes County

        The undersigned having been several times honored with your
confidence, asks again your indulgence for the office of county Surveyor, at
the approaching Election in January next. He would do violence to his
feelings was he not to return to you his grateful acknowledgement for your
kind indulgence in several times placing his humble services to public
trust. A renewal of your confidence will call forth his best energies in the
discharge of the duties of the office, together with that gratitude which he
has ever cherished as the highest offering he could make for your many
favors.

                                    Caleb Sappington.
October 21 1829.

CALEB SAPPINGTON b. December 18, 1787 Wilkes County, Georgia  -- d. April 18, 
1845 Walton County, Georgia. May 2000, Porter Gilliland, a Sappington, Jarrett 
researcher writes, "There are good records in Wilkes County and Walton County, 
(Monroe) on Caleb, your ancestor.  He was a surveyor and once owned much of 
what is now Social Circle.  There is a famous buffet restaurant in one of the 
old colonial homes there. My wife loves to go there and eat at one of the 
favorite eating places of the late Lewis Grizzard, columnist and humorist from 
Atlanta." CALEB SAPPINGTON was the son of Richard Sappington (John Sappington, 
Jr. and Ann Everett, Anne Arundel County, Maryland)  and Rebecca Jarrett 
(Fadda Jarrett and Martha Ivey - Sussex County, Virginia). Caleb married 
Martha Bankston about 1809.  Martha was the daughter of Lawrence Bankston 
(Revolutionary War Patriot) and Nancy Anne Henderson (daughter of Capt. Joseph 
Henderson RW and Adelphia Lea) (James Lea RW.)
