1860

He appeared on the census in 1860 at Pulaski County, GA; I suspect this is the brother or (step brother) of Daniel. Elizabeth's first husband Green G Graham died at which time she married a man named Dees. Daniel. He is living (unmarried) on the property of James L. Lampkin a very wealthy landowner in Pulaski county who owned 59 slaves in 1860. The slaves ranged in age from 2 to 100 years old. I found Lamkin on the 1850 census. He was living with family and his father age 66. Value of father's land given at $25,000. Father was born in North Carolina. Son age 33 was born in Georgia so this family apparently migrated about the same time as the Floyds. I couldn't find him on the 1850 census.¹

Death*

1888

He died in 1888 at Dodge County, GA; Death date is given on the Civil War Pension application that his wife filed in 1914. Pension application gives date of death as 1908. See note below from Ed Harmon: Margot, Do not get to excited about the Pension Application. Since sending it to you I have found a letter from Victor Myrick in which he states that the document is inaccurate in several places, with the first being the date of death of John Allen Graham, which was 1888, not 1908 and that the fellow who filled out the paper did not know and could not have known John Graham, despite his testimony in the document, to the contrary. Do not use the data as the basis for anything, again, note that Mazura could not read or write and may have agreed to anything on the written page, without knowing it. Ed.

Note*

Ed Harmon wrote: I have also found a note from Victor (Myrick)telling my mother that John Allen "Jack" Graham was "as mean as a snake" and was himself tried for murder in Georgia, but was acquitted. However, according to Victor, the family all said he was guilty. Oh, it is also said that John Allen Graham sold the property of his wife, Mazura Hart Graham, by forging her signature on the sale papers.
You might recall that I told you, or perhaps I did not tell you, that the family said John Allen sold Mazura's land, left to her by Hardy, by forging her signature. It is why Victor thought he was required to go before a judge to sell other land, later. In any case, the photo of him is not like the rest of the family, if you notice. He was very well dressed for the times. As my grandmother used to say, just like he stepped out of a band box. He looks like a movie version of a country gentleman rather than a farmer.²

This is contrary to Viola Floyd Berryhill's account. The date of the murder is supported by Viola and an account in a local history book.

AND PINK DAVIS GRAHAM
TAKEN ABOUT A YEAR
BEFORE THE MURDER

Death*

after 1956

He died after 1956; He is said to have died after his wife. Here is a note relative to it from Jimmie Lee Davis: Yes, that's the story we have always been told about the murders. Uncle Jesse (Pete's oldest son by Maggie) was probably about the same age or maybe 10 years old. He and Jerry's dad told us that the Graham man was in Jacksonville, FL at the time of his death and did confess on his death bed. I'm not positive about that.
Thanks for this also. JLEE Another note from Jimmy Lee Davis: Mr. Davis had told us about the "death bed confession" many years (1962-1968) before that death date of 1973. Jimmie Lee.

Anecdote*

Ed Harmon was asked if he knew about the Hart murders. Here is his reply: Margot, The story you related, is the Gospel. It is the same story told by my grandmother, Mamie Davis Jones to me. I heard the story as a child growing up, in the early 1950s. It was later changed to include the confession. Apparently after John died. I can add some details for you. Warren was killed while feeding the mules and Sally while frying bacon. Actually the story is much worse from the stand point of John Graham; According to my grandmother the bloody axe was hidden in the wood pile, where the farm hand had been chopping wood the day before, outside the back door. Then apparently the scene was set up so to make to look like it was a robbery by turning the kitchen upside down, going through the flower, etc. John left and the black farm hands then discovered the murders and ran off, knowing that with two murdered white people they would be in trouble. A mob consisting of the neighbors was formed and they went after the two. My grandmother said that every time a black would run, the black was shot dead on the spot. When the mob finally caught up with the blacks that were "guilty of the murders," they were captured, returned to the house, hung, then shot and their bodies were covered in pine pitch, set afire and burned, while hanging. The tree was in the yard or very near the home place. My grandmother said that grass would never grow under the tree where the hanging took place. The ropes were left in the tree for a long time. One can only surmise that John Graham was a participant or leader of the mob. I understood that he killed his uncle and aunt for money that people said they had hidden in the house. But that may be just part of the original story. In any case, either story about the motive seems logical. Your time line is right, I was told about the confession sometime in the late 1970s or the 1980s as I recall. As a young man hearing the story, it would be easier for my grandmother to say that the murder was over money rather than relations with a first cousin. But, at first telling, it was without the confession, so the story would not include the confession details. I do not think the motive was that important to her, but of course it does play an important part in the family history. Once it became known that John did the murders, it became a family "secret" that wasn't much of a secret, due to the prior telling. But, I did hear a family member tell the story one time, after I knew about the confession, and I knew that they knew about the confession, and they left out the end. So there are some in the family that consider the confession something to be at least, "left out", of the tale. Besides, for true, if so many folks ended up dead for something they had no part in, it is not something of which one should be proud.
Here is a verbatim transcript from the Macon Telegraph provided by Jimmie Lee Davis:
GOVERNOR MAY INVESTIGATE PULASKI LYNCHING
The Atlanta correspondent of the Macon Telegraph says:
"It is not improbable that Governor Smith will take some steps towards investigating the recent lynching of several negroes near Hawkinsville, Georgia and he may offer large rewards for the apprehension and conviction of the guilty parties. He has declined to discuss the matter, but it is known that he views the occurrence as an unfortunate one, and it is said he is inclined to think that it should not be allowed to pass unnoticed. The negroes - some reports say two and others increase the number to four or five - were lynched for the murder of an aged white couple, the purpose being robbery. Their guilt was established on the confession of one of their number. After being hanged the bodies were burned. It is the second occurrence of this kind to take place in Georgia since Governor Smith entered office. The first happened a few days after his inauguration, when a white man was summarily put to death near Dalton.
Beyond ordering a full investigation on the part of the county officials, the Governor's authority does not extend far - possibly no further than the ability to offer substantial rewards."
Exaggerated reports of the affair made it appear worse than it really was, though it was bad enough. There were only three in all killed, but according to the reports the number varied all the way from three to seven, including one woman. Reports sent to the daily papers were magnified in such a manner as to make it appear ridiculous to those familiar with the situation. It was stated in one of these reports that the negroes were taken from the jail at Hawkinsville, but as a matter of fact they were not brought here at all. Another report stated that the Negroes were fleeing from Hawkinsville for safety, although the city was as quiet as a lamb and there was no indication whatever of a disturbance here.
It is true the lynching was horrible, but the crime that provoked it was also horrible, and as much as we may deplore the affair it is likely to be repeated just as long as such crimes are committed. It is to be hoped that this will serve as a warning to the negroes and that henceforth they will refrain from the commission of such crimes. We believe that if Governor Smith would address an open letter to the negroes, counseling them along this line, it would do more good than to follow the stereotyped form of offering rewards for the lynchers as the chance are that nobody will ever call for the rewards.⁴

WARREN AND SALLIE HART MURDER

HART MURDER STORY

Note

Thanks Bob, I plotted the Graham deed out myself and came to the same conclusion. I've been thinking a lot about the murder and find the motive of robbery hard to accept. Why? Because John Graham would know when the Harts were out going to church. That would be a perfect time to commit a robbery.
Murder takes a lot of passion - one has to get really worked up emotionally to do such a thing. Just put yourself in his shoes. Wouldn't you have to be in a real frenzy to knock two people over the head? I keep thinking that there must have been some really emotional trouble here and the place was staged to appear the motive was robbery. Not only that - how could he be sure no one would show up and find him in the middle of the crime. Why didn't he shoot them? Anyhow, I keep turning this over in my mind and probably never will know the answer.

Subject: Davis Clan

Have just returned from Hawkinsville and Macon. Did not find anything earth shattering, but did pick up a few tid bits. They are in no special order, only the order they come off of the stack.
The map that Victor (?) had marked up ( Road map w/ land lots by county) is available, w/o marks, from the tax appraisers office in each county for $3 to $4. I have been looking for them for some time. In our case, you need one from Pulaski, Beckley and Dodge Counties to cover all the bases.
If you look at the deed Jimmie Lee sent where John Graham purchases 50 acres of land, the farm on the deed was"known as the Geo K. Hart place", not the Warren Hart farm. If Ed's map is correct , Warren's farm was in Land Lot # 179 and the Geo. K Hart place was in LL 182. So it looks as if he did not end up with Warren & Sallies farm after all. The question is,,,, where did a laborer get $700 to purchase the farm?
From Tad Evans "Pulaski County, Georgia, Newspaper Clippings, Volume IV, 1888-1897", in the newspaper printed "Thursday, July 17, 1890" the following; "Mr. William Davis, a good citizen of this county, died on Tuesday night of last week of typhoid fever. He was about 38 years old, and leaves a family and large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his loss". Look as if he died 8 Jul 1890. In similar articles, they would say "leaves a husband / wife and children". Since they didn't, I assume Lulu Davis died before him but I was not able to find anything to substantiate this.
Jimmie Lee did you have the article where Ben F. Dave requested guardianship of the Davis kids? If so would you send me the details again. In Volume V, 1898 - 1907, by Tad Evans, in the Thursday, August 16 1900 paper, the following; "Mr. Ben F. Davis, aged fifty-two years, died at his home about seven miles east of town this (Wednesday) morning at half past eight o'clock. Mr. Davis had been sick only about a week, his death being due to congestion of the bowels.
He leaves a wife and three children. His remains will be interred in the family burying grounds Thursday afternoon." I assume he died 15 Aug 1900 and was buried 16 Aug 1900. Wonder where the family burying ground is located.
I did a title search for the land owned by Warren Hart but it and the disposal thereof was not there. It appears the land records were reconstructed after perhaps after a fire and are missing some early deeds. It was a common practice when a courthouse burned, to have the people bring in there recorded deeds and rewrite the books.
I was also not able to find any new deeds on Land Lot 211, Division 21, the land of James Everette Floyd.
Bob.

On 4 March 1908 at GA Hawkinsville dispatch News
The horrible tragedy in the Wright settlement in which Mr. Warren Hart and his wife were unmercifully murdered is deplored by everyone. Mr. Hart was found dead at his lot Wednesday morning and Mrs. Hart died Thursday night from injuries received at the hand of the assassins.

Everything indicates that the killing was done at daybreak. It is presumed that robbery was the object as Mr. Hart was a quiet inoffensive citizen liked and respected by everyone who knew him. He generally kept money at his house.

Excitement is rife in that part of the county. Two negroes were arrested and brought to Cochran jail but were taken out and carried to the scene of the murder by a large crowd of determined men. One negro resisting arrest ran against a stump and killed himself. It is now reported that a negro from Empire has confessed to a conspiracy of fifteen negroes and say the murder had been planned for some time. Seven of these negroes are under arrest. Mr. Hart was about sixty years old.

Note

2001

Not only did John Graham murder his wife's adoptive parents, but they were also his Aunt and Uncle as well. He had grown up living next door to the couple he eventually killed. He committed family murder then let two Negros take the wrap! As can be seen from the attached article, not only did John Graham discover the bodies, but also provided himself with an alibi.

Anecdote*

According to my grandmother, my great grandmother, Martha Graham was a small or slight lady, she stood just under 5 feet tall, went barefooted all of the time (except winter), wore a bonnet, dresses that went to the ground, had long sleeves and had high tight collars. She was a very stern and very proper lady. The only exposed flesh were her hands and face. She never even allowed even Charlie, her husband, to see her disrobed the entire time they were married. The story goes Charlie offered her $5 to allow him to see her naked, just once, but she refused on both accounts.²

SHADE GRAHAM BURNED TO DEATH
We learn that Shade Graham was burned so severely Friday night last near Dykesboro that he died on Sunday. He had been drinking on Friday and at night went into the woods where there was a fire and lay down to sleep as he often did during his drinking sprees. His clothing was burned almost entirely off his body and the flesh roasted.

Shade Graham was a few years ago a prosperous business man and had considerable money and property. He grew careless and became dissipated and was finally abandoned by his wife. He sank lower and lower until he has finally ended his days.
