    Mrs. Hewett's Funeral

    Adel, Ga., May 16--The funeral of Mrs. Lessie Hewitt, who was shot and killed by her husband, John Hewett, an account of which appeared this paper last week, was conducted at the Wilkes Cemetery by Revs. Elliott and Tippens on last Friday at 10 o'clock a.m. Quite a number of sorrowing friends and relatives were present to pay tribute and respect to the dead. It was indeed the saddest occasion which this people have ever been called upon to witness.

    Mrs Hewett was, before her marriage, a Miss Wilkes, daughter of the late Duncan Wilkes, and leaves three brothers and four sisters and two little boys to mourn her loss, besides a host of other relatives and friends.

    She was a consistent member of the Adel Missionary Baptist Church, and as true a christian as ever lived.

    Notes:

    I am still trying to connect to the correct McInnis family for Ann McInnis, 1st wife of my ancestor Mark Branch Wilkes. I suspect I am looking for a connection in the area of Robeson or Cumberland County, North Carolina, but I don't yet have a primary document to prove this theory. Mark Branch Wilkes' brother, Elias Wilkes (Also one of my ancestors), married Sarah Hughes - daughter of Duncan Hughes and Mary Morrison. Mary Morrison was the daughter of Norman and Christian Morrison of Robeson County, NC. Norman Morrison's will was probated in May 1829. The gravestone of Norman Morrison's son John states that he was born on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, and that is the only clue to the origins of this Morrison family that I currently have. These Wilkes, Morrison, and Hughes families all lived in the northwest corner of Robeson County. McInnis is also a name seen often in this same area. Members of the Wilkes family and Hughes family migrated to Montgomery County, GA before 1840. SOURCE: Mary Raye Kiser Casper 26 Jan 2006

    Duncan married Mary Morrison about 1790 in Robeson, North Carolina, USA. Mary (daughter of Norman Morrison and Christian Gillis) was born in 1779 in Scotland; died in Dec 1849 in Montgomery, Georgia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    > Judy,

    > born 1785, North Carolina and her parents.
    > Thanks, Debbie
    Phoebe was born 22 February 1785, in Carteret County, North Carolina from "Pioneers of
    Wiregrass Georgia". She is a daughter of Ada Weeks, apparently born before
    Ada, daughter of Silas Weeks and Zilar Hunter, was married. Ada married John
    Osteen about 1787. Phoebe was possibly raised by Ada's brother Theophil
    Weeks and his wife Ann Osteen, sister of John Osteen. (Phoebe is listed as
    illegitimate child of John Osteen and Ada Weeks in "Families Remembered The
    Burnett, Prevatt, Walker, Stonecypher and Other Allied Lines of Northea
    Florida and Georgia", by John Albert Burnett page 122. This has credence as
    no bastardy bond was posted, there was a close relationship between the Week
    and the Osteen families and that John Osteen and Ada Weeks later married.)

    Phoebe and John were probably married about 1798 in probably Macintosh
    County, Georgia. Phoebe is buried in Swift Creek Church Cemetery, near Lake
    Butler, Union County, Florida. Her headstone is marked "Phoebe O'Steen
    Weeks". (Swift Creek Cemetery is at Zion Baptist Church.)

    In ancient records, the name is generally found as Osteen, not O'Steen.
