I think it is interesting to note that about 1853 the time Sanford  and Talitha are getting married is about the time Samuel G. Sarratt is  settling the estate of Nancy Sarratt . I said 1853 was when Nancy applied for  her pension It was actually late 1852 when she apply and receive her  Revolutionary War pension. Samuel was attached to the 10th North Carolina  Regiment and wintered at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-1778. Samuel was  later taken prisoner probably at Charleston S. C. in 1780 and remained a prisoner until the end of the war. This leads to the mystery of what  happened to Henry P. if indeed Samuel G. was his brother and Nancy was his  mother. He certainly was Sanford, Berry A., NcNeas and Green Cicero's father.

+
Milly Westbrook is list in the 1850 Dekalb Co Ga census  as being the head of household in the census records with Berry A Serrett age  18,  McNeas Serrett age 16 and Green Cicero Serrett age 14 which indicates  that Henry P. Serrett was living in 1836 when Cicero was born. I have never been  able to find Henry P. after the marriage to Milly Stratton in book A page 141 on  27 August 1829 & Samuel G. marriage to Sarah Black Book A page 159 on 10  November 1831. Of the children of Henry P.'s and Milly's I find that Berry A.  married Martha J Thrasher. I was never able to find a record of this marriage of  Berry A. and Martha J. Thrasher. 
+
 
+
I found the record of Sanford Serrett and Talitha Clay  in Dekalb Co. Ga. Book 2 page 252 on 15 May 1853 and the marriage of Green  Sarratts to Sarah Jane Clay on 1 May 1854 in Book 2 page 311.
+
+
I have never been able to find any record of McNeas Serrett except  the 1850 census record of Dekalb Co Ga. in which he is listed in the household with Milly Westbrook. I think he must have died before the census was taken in 1860. Green Cicero can be found on a couple of records in Campbell Co. store ledger in 1853. This  was  the year before Cicero and Sarah Jane were married. I could never find Sanford and Talitha or Cicero and Sarah Jane in  the 1860 census.
+
+
I found their brother Berry A. and Martha J (Thrasher) Serrett in the 1860 Campbell Co Ga census with their children Thomas age 4 and his brother Francis age 2. Milly Westbrook was living next door to
+
Berry A. and his family. 
+
+
In the 1870 census the family of Berry A. Serrett age 40 is found in Gordon Co Ga. along with Martha J age 41, Francis M age 12, Thomas J. age 14, James H. age 9  mos, Julia age 9, Milly A. age 7, Harriet E. age 4 and Milly age 69 listed as a Domestic.
+
+
In the 1880 Gordon Co. Ga. census militia dist 114 I  found Berry A age 51 Martha J age 52, Francis age 22, Julia age 19, Milliice age  17,Harriet E age 14, James H age 12, Mira J age 8
+
+
In the 1900 census of Gordon Co Ga. I found Berry A ( AKA  Beron G.Serratt) age 70, Martha J age 71, Julia W. age 39, Harriet age 34, Myra age 28 with grand children Julia B. age 8 and  James age 3. I did not trace Berry and family in the 1910 census and he died  before the 1920 census Berry A Serrett born 16 March 1829 and died 26 March 1912  Martha J (Thrasher) Serrett born June 1828 died 28 November 1917. both are  buried in Hopewell cemetery in Oakman Ga.
+
 
+
If you look at the records of Sanford and Green  Cicero the first records I could find of Cicero is the Dekalb Co Ga. 1850 census  when he is living with Milly Westbrook's. The first record I find of Sanford is  the marriage record of his marriage to Talitha Clay in Dekalb Co Ga.on 15  May 1853. Listed Book (2) page 252.  The next record I find of Cicero  is his marriage to Sarah Jane Clay in Dekalb Co Ga. on 1 May 1854 Listed Book 2  page 311 the sister of Talitha Clay and the daughter of Jeddy Clay The next  record I find is when Cicero enlisted in Co. A 56th Ga. Regt. at Campbellton  Ga. On 22 April 1862. Cicero is captured along with 30,000 other  Confederates soldiers at Vicksburg Mississippi on 4 July 1863. He signed an oath  of allegiance and was released to return home. Cicero is captured again  in July 1864 in Carroll Co Ga.  and sent to Chattanooga Tenn.and then  to Louisville Ky. to be released north of the  Ohio River. It is my  understanding that you could agree to be released north of the Ohio River and  escape being put in a
+
prisoner of war camp. His military records states that Cicero has  dark complexion, dark hair, blue eyes and is 5 feet 7 inches  tall.
+
 
+
Sanford Surrett said he was conscripted into  Co A 56th  Georgia Regt. The same Co. and Regt. that Cicero was in. Co A of the 56th Ga  Regt is a Campbell and  Coweta Co unit. There is no date  when Sanford  enter the army. The first record of Sanford is when he is captured on 16  December 1864 near Nashville Tenn. The battle of Stone River was being fought at  that time but it doesn't say if that was the battle where Sanford  was captured. Sanford is sent to Louisville Ky. and on to Camp Chase Ohio.  He signs an oath of allegiance on 15 May 1865. Sanford states that he is from  Carroll Co Ga and was conscripted into the army. He is 38 years old has dark  hair, dark eyes, dark complexion and is 5 feet 6 1/2 inches  tall.
+
 
+
Sanford and Cicero both survived the civil war and can be  found in 1870 census  Sanford can be found in the Cherokee Co Ala census  M593 reel 07 Leesburg Dist page 270 line 48.

+
 
+
The next record of Sanford Surrett is when Sanford  bought 40 acres of land in 1874 from a Mr Garner of Polk Co Ga. Sanford is  living in Haralson Co Ga. at the time. He purchases The 40 acres of land in  Cleburne Co Ala. for the sum of $100.00 dollars (actual 39 81/100  acres)
+
 
+
Since Sanford bought the 40 acres of land in Cleburne Co Ala  in 1874 and William R Surrett married Emma E Bolton  19 Oct 1874 daughter  of James & Nancy (Cook) Bolton in Cleburne Co Ala.  
+
 
+
Frances M Surrett married Franklin V. Miller in Polk Co Ga  on 7 Oct 1876 and Sarah Elizabeth Surrett was born in Ala abt. 1873 its hard to  determine when Sanford and Cicero moved to Cleburne Co Ala.
+
 
+
We know that Cicero lived in Cleburne Co Ala. when he was  shot and killed on 27 November 1875.  I have never been able determine  where Cicero is buried. There is an unmarked grave in the Mars Hill cemetery  where all the graves of my great granddaddy Green Surrett his wife Nancy (Dodd)  Surrett, Green Surrett's mother Talitha (Clay) Surrett and children Mary Golden,  Delitha Payne and Noah Surrett are all buried. The unmarked grave is in the  Surrett section but no one knows who is in the grave. I don't believe that my  great granddaddy Green and Nancy came to Cleburne Co Ala until about 1891  Green and Nancy lived in the Big Bend area of Floyd Co Ga in 1887 that is where  Sanford Surrett died on 31 May 1887 no one can find his grave at this time. My  granddad remembers Sanford dying but could never go back to the exact place  he was buried since he was about 8 years old at the time and when they  moved away to Ala. a few years later they never returned since it would have  been about 2 days there and 2 days back until they got their first car about  1925 or so which would have been close to 40 years later.
+
+
When my grand dad (Boss) and great grand dad Green and Nancy  Surrett moved to the Mt. Creek area of Cleburne Co Ala. Cicero widow and  children had moved away to Delta Co Texas and later to Pushmataha Co Okla. If  Cicero was buried in Mars Hill cemetery there wasn't  anyone to point his  grave out since all his family moved to Texas sometimes in the late 1880's  except Sarah Elizabeth Surrett who was about 1 year old when Cicero was killed.  She married James Andrew Wallace and continued to live in Ala. but not close to  Mars Hill cemetery. I doubt that she ever knew where her daddy was buried being  that young and by the time some one came along that would have know Cicero like  Green Surrett all of Cicero kids and Sarah Jane were long gone. As far as I know  Henry J Surrett was the only one to moved back to Ala.
+
 
+
Sarah Elizabeth with spouse James Wallace who stayed in  Alabama and Henry J. and his spouse Mary J. (Kernan) Surrett who lived in  the Mt. Creek area of Cleburne Co Ala in 1880 but moved to the Mobile Co and  Baldwin Co area of Alabama around the year 1900 and live there until their  death. Some of James Wallace and Sarah Elizabeth (Surrett) Wallace grand  children are the ones who have the picture of Cicero with his fiddle under his  chin. I think the Surretts were musical incline although I could never play an  instrument my self. My granddad played fiddle his brother Noah played fiddle and  banjo and his sister Delitha played a banjo. His daddy Green Surrett played  fiddle. I'm not sure if any of his older brothers John or Martin or his granddad  Sanford played or if any of his older sisters played or not.
+
 
+
After not being able to find Sanford and Talitha or Cicero  and Sarah Jane in the 1860 census I found them though their civil war records in  Carroll Co Ga in 1862. After that they were fairly easy to trace.

+
Will Tucker Surrett went to Texas to look for his mother and  spent a good bit of time in Texas searching for her but never found her. I  could never figure out why Sanford and Talitha took in two children that they  didn't know anything at all about. One explaination is that close to where  Sanford and Talitha Surrett
+
lived were the wagon yard where all the people going to Texas would  lay over to repair their wagons and restock up their supply and get ready to  move on. I think maybe William & MarthaTucker's father and mother thought  the trip would be more than the children could take so left them behind with the  idea to come back for them later and never made it theirself. That would be  another mystery that  l would like to solve. Who were William, Daniel  and Martha Tuckers parents and what happened to them.

+
 
+
Today I'm going to start on the history of Sanford  and Cicero and Berry A Surrett:
+
 
+
If you read The Surrett families  from  1715 till 1980 you will see that the first Sarratts in America seems to be  Joseph  & Kathrine Sarratt in Prince Georges Co. Maryland. As best  as I can tell they had three children Susanna Sarratt born about 1700 married to  Henry Dickinson about 1720 Samuel Sarratt born about 1708 married Ann they had 5  children (1)Joseph (2) Allen (3) Samuel (4)Richard (5)Thomas and Joseph Sarratt  born about 1710 had 2 children (1)Joseph (2)Alphonsus. Samuel Sarratt is the  Sarratt that I believe is the line of Surretts that Sanford and Cicero and Berry  A. Surrett desended from. Samuel married Nancy Johnston 24 May 1792 in North  Carolina. Samuel apply for a pension in 1819 and receive it but died in 1821  inBedford Co. Tennessee. He is honered with other patriots who fought in the  Revolutionary War on a plaque in the lobby of the courthouse in Shelbyville  Tenn. Nancy Surrett, Samuel wife moved to Habersham Co. Ga. She apply for a widows pension in 1853 and her son Samuel G Surrett helped her apply for it. Samuel & Nancy had 4  children (1)Samuel G. (2) Joseph (3) James (4) Hiram. In the application that  Nancy filed to apply for her  widows pension some of Samuel & Nancy old  neighbors George & Fanny Brock of Gilmer Co Ga. who stated that Samuel &  Nancy had 4 sons (1) Joseph (2) James (3) Samuel (4) Hosea . Some records show  Samuel G. Married Sarah Brock and that her father was Thomas Brock maybe a  relative of George & Fanny Brock.
+
 
+
This is not true Samuel G Sarratt married  Sarah Black  ( not Brock) in Habersham Co. Ga. 10 Nov.  1831.  Henry P. Sarratt married Milly Stratton in Habersham co. Ga on 27 August 1829.
+
 
+
Henry P. and Milly are the parents of  (1)Sanford Surrett (2) Berry A. Surrett (3) McNeas Surrett (4) Cicero  Surrett.
+
 
+
Samuel G. Surrett settled his mother Nancy  Surrett estate in 1853 in Habersham Co. Ga. I believe that Samuel G. and Henry  P. are brothers although I have no proof that they were related. There was only  1400 heads of house hold in Habersham Co Ga in the 1830 census and it doesn't  seem that you could have three people with a name like Surrett in a county that  small that would not be relatives. I'm not sure if Henry P. is Hiram from Samuel  old Prayer Book or Hosea from the memory of George and Fanny Brock.
+
 
+
It seems that if  Samuel G. and Henry  P. were brothers their father would be Samuel Sarratt and their Grandfather  would be Joseph Serrett . their great grand father would be the old Joseph  Sarratt of Prince Georges Co Maryland. I think I have this figured out right, but I have never verified anything past The Marriage of Henry P and Milly  Stratton and Samuel G. and Sarah Black.
+
 
+
I have no idea what happened to Henry P.  Serrett after his marriage to Milly Stratton in Habersham Co Ga. on 27 Aug 1829.  The next record I find is a record of Milly Westbrooks in 1850 Dekalb Co Ga  census. It list Milly Wesrbrook age 50 with Berry A. Serrett age 18, McNeas Serrett age  16 and Cicero Serrett age 14. There is no mention of Sanford Serrett in the  house hold with Milly Westbrook and the other brothers. Sanford who would  be about age 23 at that time. Green Serrett who his the son of Sanford Serrett  and Talitha Clay was born on 29  Sept. 1849. So he could be living with Talitha Clay although there is no census  record listing him with Talitha and Green in the 1850  census.
+
 
+
The records show Sanford Serrett married Talitha Clay in Dekalb Co Ga. on 15 May 1853.  Cicero married Sarah  Jane Clay in Dekalb Co Ga. on 1 May 1854  Talitha and Sarah Jane were  the daughters of Jeddy/Jeudy/ Judy Twilley  Clay.
