First Settlers of Wilkes County.
The following scrap of history the Bos
ton Pilot , about IJpiifrst settler* cr this couuty,
will doubtless btfttvry islitv»ti|| to many of
our patrons:
llok. Stephen was a na
tive of Ireland, as were likewise his father. John
Heard, and his brother, Barned Heard. The
family emigrated to America and settled in Vir
ginia about the commencement of the inter colo
nial war between Great Britain and France
Stephen Heard served with credit as captain of
infantry, under the then Colonel George Wash
ington, in the war. About the year 1770, the
Heards removed from Virginia and settled on a
tract «*f land on Fishing Creek. Wilkes 00, Geor
gia. Ileard’s Fort (now Washington, Wilkes
County), which became historical during the pro
gress or the struggle for freedom, w.t* named
after »this family, as represented by
llearci- Tl\# Heards were among ’.he
tiers itr’Jr'Hkes Cos., Georgia
In the Revolutionary struggle, the brothers
Heard actively par* icipated, on the patriotic side
against the British mercenaries of Georgia.
Captain Stephen Heard aided in defending
western Georgia against the emissaries of the
British. He gained honorable distinction by his
skill, zeal nnd interpidiiy, at the battle of Ket
tle Creek, Feb. 14, 177th In the operations of
1780 lie also won much credit.
On the 18th of February, 1780, Mr. Heard
was appointed, for the balance of that calendar
year, President of the Executive Council of Geor
gia, vice Hon, George Wells, deceased. Mr.
Heard had been, the previous year a member of
the Executive Council, at the same timtf ns
George and Humph rev Wells, and John Lindsay
When Mr. Heard thus become practically the
Governor of Georgia, he found his State nearly
over run by the British. Mr. Stephens says—
“At this time, republicans Georgia consisted of
only two counties, Richmond and Wilkes; as all
south of a linedrawn Ferry, on
the to the Ogee ehee,^eiv*'inf possession
of the BrHidt; and tills small portion was now
meoaced with danger from British troops and
Indian foes, and reduced to alarming distress a
dtHirese greatly augmented by internal dissen
sions ’about constitutional nnd other questions.
“Thus was Georgia reduced to the verge of pol
itical dea h. I’he government, suchas-it was,
was administered by President Heard, and a few
of the tuembers of thcJCouncil, in Wilkes County.”
Oh recommendation of the Assembly of Geor
gia, designated Heard’s Fort, Wilkes Count},
as the safest and most politic place “of meeting
lor transacting the business erf the government,
or this fcitate*” the Executive Council adjourned
oil the sth of Feb , lT8t», to meet at the newly
selected centre of republican government for the
State. Heard’s Fort thus became “the last
strong hold of liberty in Georgia Here the
Executive Council sat, and, daring the daikest
period in Georgia’s History, governed the almost
deserted Jstutc.”
In May, 1780, the Executive Council requested
Governor How ley “to retire to some place of
safety, either in teoulh or North Carolina, as, from
longer delay, his situation might endanger the
liberty of his person ’’ The Council further re
solved tluii the public money “be placed in the
hands of the President (Mr. Heard), and be paid
off as ihe occasion of the public service may rc
quire, Junder Ins direction and that of the Execu
tive Council in the absence of the Governor.
In July, of the same year President Heard
was also forced to retire into North Carolina, for
safety from the British, whereupon Mvrick Davis
wR9« hosen{Chiefof tl e Executive Council when
they had control of only a few imperilled settle
ments “in and around Wilkes County.”
While Mr. Heard was absent in North Caroli
na, t he Tories made an attack on h 1s 4 wife a Mias
Germany, suffered so severely frota the conse
quent exposure that she never irgnined her
health. Death finally released her from her
distressing sickness.
When Mr. Uaard returned to his homestead
the war was practically ended; and lie devoted
himself to the duties of hi • farm life.
Mr. Heard and his brother had been among the
grand jurors of V\ likes County. Mr. Heard
himself was foreman of the jury. John Dooley
of whom we have already spoken, was at this
time, 1776. attorney for the State in the county.
•Soon after the organization of the Superior
Court of Georgia, Mr. Heard was appointed
Chief Justice thereof.
Judge Heard served also as a trustee of the
Academy, in Washington, Wilkes Cos , Georgia
He was married to a second wife, Miss Eliza
beth Darden, who, surviving her husband, more
than the overage o| a eneration, died in Elb rt
County, June 6th, 1?48, aged 83 years. Judge
Heard himself died, Nov. IS; 1815, leaving a
family of four sons, including,
Hon. Thomas J, Heard, who served as Colonel
of Militia; also frequently as a member of State
Legitduture, He was a resident of Elbert Coun
ty, Georgia.
Hon. John A Heard, was Solicitor General of
the norther.i circuit of Georgia, for three years,
from Nov Bth 1819
Major Barnard Heard, brother of Judge
Stephen Heard, served efficiently in the patriotic
army of the Revolution. He was made a pri
eonei by the Tories, and carried, off inirona fr»Mto
his Bfame in Wilkes County to Augutia. He
was court marshaled, and sentenced to be hung
by the British. The day before the siege of
Augusta was commenced by the patriot forces
nnder the Irish-American General, Andrew Pick
ens, and Lieut. Col. Henry Lee, May 1782, Maior
Heard made his escape from prison, joined his
conntrymen in arms before Augusta, and panic
pated in the successful siege of that place.—
When the British capitulated, the major dis
covered as a prisoner at the headquarters of the
enemy his aged father John Heard, and another
venerable patriot, both of whom were suffering
from want of food. Major Heard conducted them
to the headquarters of £jjg"W£toriou«> Americans
and adequately provide fcr.tt&ir wants.
Heard County, Georgia, was named in honor
of Judge Stephen Heard * It wik laid oat and
duly organized in 1880.
F««um E. Hzian, of Georgia, who served in
1817 of Brigade Major to Brigadier General
Thomas Glasscock, ofthe Georgia Militia Contin
gent. in the U. 8. Service, was of the Georgia
Heards. General Glasscock was a member of
the 25th aDd 29the Congresses; he died at Deca

under any new Constitution which may be adopt

thy gushing nature as impetuous as Niagara’s

Cotton brings a Cent more per pound
than what is ginned on any other Gin known in these ports.
I have certificates from 11. T* Slaton, D. B. Cade, Dr. J. 11. Lane, and others, to these facts.
Th v all say it runs as light as any, gins more than any, and all say they got from accent to a

GIN ON ONN CROP. f t n .
Abo I have certificates from Factors and Cotton buyers in Augusta, that the lmt from the Uul

HEAD THIS CERTIFICATE.
Augusta, Oa , 16th April, 1868.
Upon examination of several lots of Cotton Ginned upon the Gullett Ntecl Comb Gin, we find
it to show superior ginning, free from trash and nap, and with unb-oken fibre. For spinning pur
poses it would seem to be especially valuable, as the freedom from gin cut saves a large propor
tion of the usual waste. We consider the lint from the Gullett Gin worth in the market aq aver
age cf fully one cent per pound more than that from the ordinary gins of the country.

Gin and have found them to show superior ginning; were free from trash and dirt, with the fibre

J. 11. Alexander —Sir : This is to certify that we have sold, during the present season, many
lots of cotton ginned upon the Gullett Gin, and always realized a cent or more for it above the mar
ket price of cotton from the ordinary Gins of the country.
The lint from the Gullett Gin is sought after by all buyers of cotton, as more valuable for spin
ning purposes, by reason of there being less waste. It will always, in our judgment, command
a higher price than lint fiom any othergin we know of. J. J JtOBERTSON A CO.
