Also: today's research came full circle: led back to James Beaver (completely unrelated to your starting point of today); he was already on the watchlist, due to a mix-up of Georgia and Arkansas Beavers, who were so similar, it was hard to distinguish between them. Need to study again now that you've documented this one!

Robert Everett Parker, born 1857, husband of Kate Shumate. Died in Atlanta; obituary, North Georgia Citizen, Dalton, GA.

"Death Calls Bob Parker," [obituary/article on death of Robert E. Parker] in *North Georgia Citizen,* [Dalton, Georgia], Thurs., 16 Nov. 1911, pg. 1 [via Galileo: "GeorgiA LIbrary LEarning Online" library project]. http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/ngnewspapers/id:ngc1911-0357 (accessed 25 December 2016).

[Headline and subhead]: "Death Calls Bob Parker: Prominent Atlanta Man Was Well Known and Intensely Popular Here."
[Subhead 2]: "Was Vice-President of The Arnold Hat Company."
[Subhead 3]: "For Years This Energetic Business Man Followed Work and Made Great Success of His Life."

[Summary, with Quotes]:

(In Dalton), people received telephone call, stating "that Mr. Robert E. Parker, had died at his residence, No. 353 West Peachtree street, following an illness of several months."
Deceased was well known. "It was in Dalton that Mr. Parker, then a boy, started his life's work. He entered a book store here, and from Dalton went to the Dade coal mines, where he clearly showed the makeup of a man in starting to work guarding convicts." At that camp, he showed skill at sales and "he was put in charge of the commissariat department." Next: traveling salesman, successful. "Even after he had acquired a considerable interest in the Arnold Hat company, and had been made vice-president of the company, Mr. Parker would not give up his work on the road, sticking to it until he was seized with the illness which finally resulted in his decease, and literally dying in harness." Married "here" [Whitfield Co., Georgia] "to Miss Kate Shumate, daughter of the late Col. I. E. Shumate. He was a nephew of the late Col. R. J. McCamy, of this city" [Dalton, Georgia]. Survived by "sons and daughters: Robert S., of the legal firm of Brown & Randolph; Howard, with the Arnold Hat company; Lewis, with the Arnold Hat company; Misses Elizabeth, Katherine, and Margaret. / He is also survived by his mother, Mrs. Mollie Parker, and two sisters, Mrs. C. C. Thorne and Mrs. H. C. Hudgins."

​
Source to study as possible match for Seth Farnsworth (but has big discrepancies, if relative).

This record could be him--but his birth place is wrong. Also, he's living in Hillsdale, Michigan, not Iowa; on the other hand, if he did live in Hillsdale for a time, that might account for him and McDougall being friends... They might have known each other before the war.

Southern Skillet Cornbread - links to sites

Here are two Southern Cornbread recipes, NOT sweet! The bit of sugar just knocks the edge off the slight bitterness that cornmeal can have (making it taste more like old-fashioned stone-ground meal). The baking instructions are below the variations of ingredients.

RECIPE #1, SELF-RISING CORNMEAL

Prep: 15 minutes.
Cook: 20 minutes.
Yield: 8 servings.

1 cup self-rising cornmeal
¾ cup self-rising flour
1 tbsp sugar
¾ cup milk
1 large or extra-large egg
3 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
1 tbsp oil or bacon drippings (to coat skillet)

This is a lot like Mom's not sure if she puts any sugar, but I've tried similar recipe, and it is very good.

_________________________________

RECIPE #2, PLAIN CORNMEAL (OR CAN DO 1/2 FLOUR)

2 cups cornmeal
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 egg (optional)
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp bacon drippings (to coat skillet)

You can use 1/2 and 1/2 of corn meal and all-purpose flour instead of just corn meal. If using self-rising flour, leave out sale and baking soda.


ALL RECIPES:

Add oil or bacon drippings to 8-9" iron skillet. Place in oven. Preheat to 385°- 400°F.

Whisk together all DRY ingredients in med.-lg. bowl.

In small bowl: mix egg and milk until combined.

Mix/fold gently into bowl of dry ingredients. Stir in oil/melted butter.

Take the HOT SKILLET out of the oven. Add cornbread batter (distribute evenly in hot skillet).

BAKE 20-25 MINUTES.

Edges should be starting to brown; a toothpick inserted in center of bread will come out clean.

Cornbread should be nicely browned. If center is too pale, set the oven to broil and broil until the top is browned -- but watch carefully if you do this!

Leave in skillet, let cool 10-30 minutes, then slice into wedges.

TIP: USE OVEN MITT or put a handle cover on the skillet handle.

Dupuytren's Syndrome - Dupuytren's Contracture (medical link)

Dupuytren's Contracture (also called Dupuytren's Syndrome) is a disease that causes knots to form, usually in the palms of the hands, and can cause eventual tightening of cords, restricting the movements of certain fingers--particularly the ring finger and the pinky. Dupuytren's can be associated with conditions that cause contractures in other areas of the body. If the contracture occurs in the feet, it is called Ledderhosen.

Look at Mary (unknown) Bryant as the possible mother of Elisha Bryant

Look at Mary [unknown maiden surname] Bryant, born 1804 in Georgia as the possible mother of Elisha Bryant, born 1832-1835 in Georgia. In 1880, Mary lives with her adult son, Bray, not too far away from Elisha and Stacy Bryant. Bray's household is in Mill, Dade, Georgia, and is listed on stamped-page 31 A of the census (handwritten page 29). Elitia (indexed as Eliha), is also in Mill, Dade, Georgia, and is listed on the previous page, handwritten page 28. Elitia (Eliha) is married to Stacey. Her last name may be Pittman (possibly related to an elderly woman named Pittman who is listed with Elisha and Stacy in the 1870 census; but the woman could be a relation of Elisha, instead).

Mary Bryant's listing in 1880 shows her as the widowed mother of the head of household, Bray Bryant (male). Bray was born 1825 in Georgia. In 1880, he is a widower with a daughter and two sons, all aged 12 and older, and all born in Georgia. Mary Bryant is a very good possibility to be the mother of our Elisha Bryant (born 1832-1835 in Georgia; died after 1880; married to Stacey (?Pittman?).

My Google Map of Tri-State Area (Link)

Link to Google Map of some places in the tri-state area of Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. This includes Lookout Mountain, Rock City, Rock Creek Road, McLemore Cove, and various places in Chickmauga. Some of my markers are for areas where there might be a historic marker for the Second Michigan and First Tennessee Vols route over Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain (Army of the Cumberland, USA, 1863).
