Notes for JAMES EVERS, SR:
While James was serving his indenture in Bertie Co, his older brother John, had received a land grant in Duplin Co NC and had settled there. There is some indication that John went back to Bertie Co and bought James out of his indenture and took him to Duplin Co. In any case, James Sr did end up in Duplin/Sampson Co where he married Sara Hester of Bladen Co in the late 1750's. Sara was the daughter of Thomas Hester Sr of Bladen Co who was the ancestor of most of the Hesters in Bladen and Robeson Counties.
Around 1770 James received a land grant for several hundred acres in southwestern Bladen Co in the Dublin/Bladenboro area and near the area that became Robeson County. During the next thirty to forty years he became a successful planter with a number of slaves and many hundreds of acres of land.
James' wife, Sarah, died just before 1820. Around that time, James Sr's daughter, Sarah, and her husband, William Bryan Jr, moved to Georgia to homestead some of the free land available and around 1825 James Sr and some of his children took off to join their kin in Georgia. That left two of his sons, James Jr and William in Bladen Co. By about 1832, William had moved to Georgia as well. James Jr remained in Bladen Co where he was doing well as a planter on a large acreage in the Bladenboro-Dublin area.
James Sr and his sons, Jasper Evers and William Evers, as well as daughters, Rebecca Evers, Sarah Evers, and Elinor Evers, and their growing famililes were all living in Monroe County, Georgia, newar Macon. James Jr, the only one of his children still in Bladen Co, apparently owed James Sr money for land he had purchased. James Sr sent son William back to try to collect the debt, He later signed power of attorney to Durram Lewis, who made the long trip back to Bladen Co to collect the debet from James Jr. There is no indication the debt was ever paid. James Sr died in Monroe Co Ga on June 15, 1837. He was 96. The estate papers show that James Jr of Bladen Co received a slave valued at $700 and $352.39 in cash.
There are still families living in Bladen Co bearing the Evers name and there are many hundreds of Evers descendants with other family names. The other descendants of James Sr spread from Georgia to Florida, Alabama, Texas and other states.

Wiley was a deaf mute. The following appeared upon his death. Popular Character of Douglas is Dead. Wiley Spivey, long a Coffee County "Fixture" and was one of their most colorful characters, at the age of 104. He passed up and down the sidewalks of Douglas for the past forty years, always smiling, he considered everyone his friend and had carried on many interesting conversations with those who understood his sign language. When he walked into the drug store, he was at once served his favorite drink, Coca Cola. Coming to Douglas from Soperton, he sold trinkets from a buggy. He first charged ten cents to peep at a rattlesnake in a box in the buggy, then displayed his trinkets for sale. Later he walked and carried a knap sack over his shoulder. For a while he slept on floors of upstairs office buildings and on benches but a good man of the town built him a small home where he has lived comfortably. A few years ago he was knocked down by a car and has since dragged his feet, but he kept up with the news and had a deep interest in politics. He was active until last Sunday when friends found him ill and took him to the local hospital where he died.

72. RICHARD LEWIS5 BRITT (ANNA4 EVERS, WILLIAM3, SARAH2 HESTER, THOMAS1) was born April 19, 1834 in Robeson County North Carolina, and died October 29, 1914 in TAllapoosa County ALABAMA. He married FRANCIS LANEY SORRELLS December 29, 1867 in Tallapoosa AL, daughter of FRANK SORRELLS and HOLLON PETERS. She was born August 1849 in Tallapoosa County ALABAMA, and died November 03, 1921 in tallapoosa County ALABAMA.
Notes for RICHARD LEWIS BRITT:
He was 16 years old when he joined the Army.
He was a scout for Robert E. Lee.
He owned his own farm.
After he was paroled at Appomattox Courthouse, he walked home to Jackson Gap and took a friend who had been wounded in the head. When they got home, he and his family nursed the man until he was well, then they gave him what little extra money they had to get him home.
The Yankees allowed one man in the community to keep their weapons and he kept his Winchester Rifle to kill snakes, bears, etc., and otherwise protect the area.
When he was on his way home, he met a Union soldier who had been a scout also, they became friends and exchanged knives. The knife that Grandpa Britt got was like a Bowie knife with pearl handles. We don't know who got the rifle or the knife.
The inscription on his tombstone:
R.L. Britt
April 19, 1834
Oct 29, 1914
"A Confederate Veteran Soldier"
" Remember me when you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now Soon you may be
Prepare for death and follow me."
All the sisters and L. B. Britt are buried in the Britt family cemetery, which is located on a dirt road not far from Rock Springs Church in Tallapoosa Alabama. Becky has pictures of most of the tombstones. John W. Britt is buried in Rock Springs close to him.
Made a wooden chest that looked like a hope chest. He made it with his knife and there are no nails in it. The edges are dovetailed and inside there is a small tray where they kept their valuables. During the war, he buried it with their jewelry and seeds in it so the Yankees couldn't get them. Bessie Lifsey has the chest.

Notes for WILLIAM PLEAS SURLS:
When Papa and Mama were married, both sets of parents insisted they move from Jackson Gap, as it was a very isolated area and a very poor place to raise a family. They moved to Columbus, Ga. where their infant son Marion died, then they moved to Cedartown in 1904.
He was a Mason.
His nephew Felix Hood, lived with them and is listed on the 1900 census with them.
He did a lot of work on the Turntable located in Cedartown. The turntable is now located at the Tennessee Valley Train Museum in Chattanooga, Tennessee where it was moved in the mid '80's. We have pictures of the turntable in Chattanooga.
He loved gardening and children.
TOLD TO CRIS SURLS BY JOE P SURLS SR
"Shorty" Suls, (William Pleas), was a coach for Masonic work. When they advance from one step to another, there is a lot of memory work involved. Sometimes they would practice at the fire station, or the filling station, or somewhere they could be away from everyone, but their favorite place to practice was the cemetery, because they could see if anyone was coming and quit talking. On this particular evening, Shorty was there with several of the candidates and they were up on the hill overlooking the railroad tracks. They were squatting or kneeling down in a circle going over the work. A lady who was one of Shorty's neighbors on Broad St. was looking over the tracks and saw them. She couldn't tell what they were doing but thought they were throwing dice and gambling. She called the sheriff and told him that Shorty and some others were in the cemetery gambling. He told her he would take care of it. He went to the cemetery and when he found out what they were doing, as he was a Mason himself, he joined them. When the lady saw him squatting down and joining them she really got upset, so she called the Mayor and told him that Shorty Surls, the Sheriff, and some others were over in the cemetery gambling. She thought it was disgraceful and he'd better do something about it. He told her he would personally take care of it. It so happened that the Mayor was also a Mason, so when he got there, he joined them. After they finished going over the step, they all went over to the lady's house and explained to her and apologized to her for upsetting her. She was much relieved to find out that Shorty was not a gambler after all.

Notes for CORA LEE SURLS:
Joe's sister. She was born in Jackson Gap, Alabama in the same house that Papa Surls was born in. When she was born, Epsie only had one name picked out for her-Cora, Grandpa Britt asked her if it would be allright to name her for "The greatest man he ever knew- Robert E. Lee", so that is how she was named Cora Lee Surls.
She lived in Columbus till she was about 2 years old. Mama was sick and couldn't take up much time with her. There were some high school boys that took her out for "walks" each day and they taught her how to walk.
She married Willard Allen "Bill" Klein on _______. She met him in Atlanta just after he got out of the army. He was a railroad man and worked for the Santa Fe, Chicago Burlington and Quincy, and Great Northern Railroads. They went to Galesburg, Ill to get married. They lived in Sheridan, Wyoming, Edgemont , South Dakota, Casper, Wyoming, Gillette, Wyoming, Fort Madison, Iowa, Chicago, Illinoise, and Kansas City, Kansas. They lifed in hotels because they didn't stay in one town long enough to get an apartment. Her best friend in Edgemont, Mabel, went for an interview for a job in a hotel, and she was very shy, and Cora answered most of the questions for her, when the man asked when she could start work, Cora answered that Mabel could start the next day. He said, no, when can YOU start work? Cora said she couldn't , she was going to be leaving town. Mabel did not get the job. She did get a job in another hotel in Edgemont as a receptionist, and even though Cora had never done that type work , she trained her for the job. There was a fire in the hotel in Edgemont and although there wasn't much damage donem Cora had to send her clothes out to be cleaned. Uncle Bill called her and told her to be ready to leave the next day, but she couldn't because of the clothes. She had a job at the Elk's club and told him she just couldn't tell the man she was quitting after such a short time, so Bill went and told him for her. When Mama Surls got sick, she came home to help take care of her. She and Bill separated and she stayed in Cedartown. When JW sold his bakery and moved to Smyrna, Georgia, she and Mamie moved there also, to a house on Love Street. After Mamie died, she moved in with JW and Mildred.
She has never read "Gone With The Wind", but she wrote a book report for Virginia that she had to hve to graduate, she passed with a good grade.
She is tall, with dark hair and eyes. She likes to read and crochet. She worked in a dry cleaners, for Gillette, and in Barnett's Bakery.
The family's pet name for her is "CoCo".
