Notes
Note 1
Bolivar B. Conner (1829-1892)
In 1851 , B.B. Conner moved from Giles County, Tennessee, in a covered wagon, to settle just east of Augusta. In 1854, he married Eliza L. Hall, whose family also came from Tennessee in 1853. By 1890, he had acquired 1,000 acres of land and cleared 600 acres. During Reconstruction, the State Militia was under the command of Brig. General Daniel P. Upham, appointed by Governor Powell Clayton. In November, 1865, Brig. General Upham arrested fifteen citizens who had been engaged in Ku Klux Klan activities. These men were confined to a brick building. Brig. General Upham threatened to burn the building and prisoners :c any attempt was made to free them. B.B. Conner was one of the prisoners. Due to B.B. Conner's pneumonia, he was released during the night to walk four miles to his home in winter weather. He survived the cold trip home and illness to live almost another 30 years .
