Contents: |
The collection consists of typescripts, manuscript notes, proof sheets, and correspondence concerning "Sketches of the early
history of Madison County" and "Autobiography of Rev. Groves H. Cartledge."
Reverend Groves Harrison Cartledge made great efforts towards cataloging the history of Madison County, Ga., and the struggles
of the pioneer 18th century minister Reverend John Newton of Hopewell Presbytery. Historical sketches mention many early
Georgia families, Presbyterian churches in Northeastern Georgia, and include comments on such varied subjects as depredations
by th Indians, soil conservation, difficulties of pioneer life, etc.
Jessie Mize, Virginia and Charlotte Newton, and the Rev. Samuel Cartledge compiled this collection. The correspondence sheds
further light on the publishing history and the background research performed by this dedicated group. Also included is a
sizable amount of genealogical material on the Cartledge family and allied families of the Madison County area.
