WAVERLYBy:

Grant Fulgham,FFFNA Historian and ArchivistPARTONE

Growing up on a small cotton farm in the Deep South is, I believe, after having reviewed our Fulgh‘m family database in‑depth over the past year, anexperience shared by many of us. I recently read John Grisham’s quasi-autobiographical novelAPainted House about seven-year-old Luke Chandler’s experiences on an 80-acre farm in Arkansas in 1952. With fewexceptions, young Luke’s life on the farm mirrored my own. The book evoked the universal experiences of small cottonfarm life in the Deep South quite effectively. When our Newsletter Editor, Robert S. Fulghum, asked meto dust off anarticle that I hadwritten in 1988 about a family legend related to aplace called “Waverly” in Mississippi, and to prepare it forserialized publication in theNewsletter, I thought of the underlyingtheme of A PaintedHouse. The book is about family andthe article “Waverly” is about family. My ggggg-grandmother, Nancy Hampton Young, is buried in the family graveyard atWaverly. But let menot get ahead of myself for when this story began I had not yet learned that there was a place namedWaverly nor did I know of Nancy HamptonYoung.

When I was young Luke’s age, spending long monotonous hours on the cotton rows, my escape was often to reflect onfamily legends and to wonder about the possibilities in such legends for mydeliverance. InA PaintedHouse, the cotton fieldis ever present and waiting, like a draconian spirit, to shackle young Luke in its bonds of monotony. Luke sought hisdeliverance as I suspect many of us did, through daydreams. The Waverly legend made a very good escape from themonotony of the cotton field. If it hadbeenonly a legend it would now have been long forgotten. Luckily, when I was in mythirties I became interested in my family’s history and researched the details that I could remember from the legend. Thefollowing story comes, in part, from the Civil War remembrances of my Great Grandmother, Alice Haley Burton, which shetold to my father asasmall boy and is confirmed by research.

The Waverly legend centered on West Point, Mississippi, during the Civil War and involved true love, the ravages of war,lost fortunes, and buried gold that has never been recovered. Young Alice grew up in West Point living near two very oldand very bellicose great-uncles. These menhad come to Mississippi longbefore she was bornand built a logcabin and livedtogether in it while they built up large plantations. One of the great-uncles later built “ . . . the biggest house in that wholecountry...” according to Alice, and ostensibly owned more land than any planter in the country. Alice remembered that herfather came to West Point to help build the big houseand married the woman who was later to become her mother, and whowas also the big house owner’s niece. During the Civil War, Alice recalled being at parties at the big house where high‑rankingConfederateofficers were in attendance, but she was too young to knowwho they were. Near the end of the war, sherecalled one of her great-uncles proclaimed “...they will never find my yellow boys...” as he called his gold coins. Sheremembered that hedied soon after the end of the war without telling where the gold was buried. Reconstruction was hardonthe family and Alice recollected that her mother, who had never cooked or performed housework before the war, was such adreadful cook that Alice became the principal cook for the family. Before Alice died in I939 she told my father that shethought the big house was still standing. Such was the original legend as told by Alice and passed on by my father. Thefollowing is the result of my genealogical research related to the Waverly legend. To give the reader a view of the similaremigration patterns of both sides of the family, it follows my father’s side of the family in parallel with Alice’s side of thefamily, from the Revolutionary War period, through the periodof the legendand upthrough her telling of it.

John Fulgham, my gggg‐grandfather, was born at Blackwater, Isle of Wight County, Virginia, in 1770. Within two years ofhis birth, in 1772, after his father, also named John Fulgham, received a 400 acre royal grant from Governor Montagu, hisfamily moved to a new “seat” in Old Craven (later Fairfield)County, South Carolina, onThomtree Creek near Winnsboro'.The area was beingsettled heavily by Virginians and became knownasthe “Virginia Colony”.

During this period, John’s family had grown to four sons Micajah, the eldest, followed by John, Henry, and Jesse. ByI789, he had been at his Thorntree Creek holdings for 17 years when new lands were opening up on the upper SavannahRiver in Georgia. Many Virginians were making the move to the Savannah River and in I789 John made the move,patenting land in Burke County near Waynesboro. Georgia Bounty Grant records show that the following Fulghams movedto Georgia in the late 1700’s:

John Fulgham acquired land in Montgomery County, Georgia and he died in 1801 leaving his heirs a moderate amount ofproperty. His son, Henry, became aGeorgia legislator andMontgomery County Sheriffbefore moving to Lawrence County,Mississippi, near the Pearl River in 1817, and later to Copiah County3. Micajah became a respected Baptist minister at theRichland Baptist Church near Jeffersonville, Twiggs County, Georgia, where he is mentioned on anhistorical marker, thatstill stands today, near the church site.4 By 1820 Micajah had also moved to Lawrence County, Mississippi. Jesse hadcontinued to farm the Thorntree Creek holdings in SouthCarolina after the rest of the family moved on to Georgia. John, theyounger, moved several times from Burke County, Georgia, to Lancaster County, South Carolina, to Lincoln County,Tennessee before finally settling down in Bibb County, Alabama, on the Cahaba River near Centreville in 1835.Although the name of John’s first wife is unknown, before 1820 hehad taken a South Carolina wife, Sarah Smitherman, andstarted anew family.
