William D. TerrellRead more
(1810-1875) was probably born in Putnam County. He married Mary Sadler in 1855. He had few possessions before his marriage. In 1855 he owned 700 acres of land and had 20 slaves. By 1860 the main house, five houses for the slaves, a house for the cotton gin, a carriage house, and barns had been constructed.
At the time of the American Civil War, Terrell was too old for military service but served in the Home Guard. In November, 1864, Gen. William T. Sherman of the U.S. Army was on his March to the Sea. Sherman's 14th Corps, going from Madison, Georgia to Eatonton, camped at the plantation for one day. Sherman's soldiers burned the cotton gin and the packing screw, destroyed other farm equipment, stole the mules and horses, killed the chickens, and took six slaves. The house was not destroyed.
By 1880, their only son, Richmond, managed the plantation. Farming operations declined. Land was sold to pay debts and he had only 25 acres of cotton plants, which produced only 8 bales of cotton. Richmond mortgaged the remaining 500-acre farm and it was eventually foreclosed.
