Dora Icie (Warwick) Ivie Monograph (26 April 1961, Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia)

Dora Icie Warwick Ivie Monograph

Written by her daughter Luna Ivie Long as told by Dora Icie Warwick Ivie 26 April 1961 at Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, GA when Dora a patient for duodenal cancer

Mrs. Dora Icie Warwick Ivie b. Jan. 10, 1890 in White Co. about 5 miles from Cleveland. Name after Nora Robinson who stayed with her mother Mary Hannah Potts Warwick during this birth. Dr. (Uncle) Dick Jarrett delivered, who lived near Mossy Creek Church.

Mother had a baby who died of whooping cough. Also was given a baby of Aunt Jane Warwick (sister-in-law). Aunt Jane died when the baby was about 3 weeks old, so her baby was given to Hannah Warwick. So both babies were about the same age and boys. Both caught the whooping cough and died.

When Aunt Bertie was born, Dora and Mamie went to spend the night with Uncle John Nix. When Bernice was born, Dora, Bertie and the other children went down in the "bottoms" to plant corn. John Wesley Warwick (husband) when to Cleveland--he rode a horse about 5 miles--to get a doctor. When they returned, Baby Bernice was already born. Aunt Calley, sister of John Wesley, was holding the baby.

Dora went first to Chattahoochee School until it burned. Then to Macedonia Church while the school was being built. First teacher was David Autry. He had real long hair. The children would pull his hair and jump out the window. He would jump out after them. He was fired--could not keep order. Next teacher was a woman named Leila Brownlow. Schoolhouse was rebuilt. At first it was one room with a big stove. Grades 1 through 7. Mother went through 7th. Sister Mamie went to school one year in Cornelia High School--rented a room from Mr. Sellers to live in.

The house was on about 75 acres and had 8 rooms. The living room was wallpapered. Had 4 head horses. Went to Gainesville one time, paid $500 for 2 work mules. Kept 1 buggy horse, 4 or 5 cows, a few sheep, raised pigs and hogs, chickens, geese and ducks.

Belonged to Zion Methodist church--went every Sunday. Carried dinner and spread tablecloths on ground to Quarterly meetings. Dora would recite poetry or special talks at Sunday School programs. (Dora went with Lester Irvin--or rather he walked home from church with her--her first boyfriend.) Preachers were always coming to the house. Daddy (John Wesley) was a Stewart in the church. Preachers came mostly for Sunday dinner. Have all day singings on Sunday. Always had Saturday meetings once a month at Church. Mother (Hannah) would go on Saturday as she stayed home with John W. Warwick's mother, Mary Ann, on Sunday. She lived with them for 13 years. John W. Warwick's mother and daddy lived in a log house, a big house and backroom through porch to kitchen. Kept milk and butter in the springhouse. Asbury and Mary Ann were moved in because their house was cold and they were getting old. Mary Ann was about 77 and lived to be 90. Asbury lived there about 5 years, then died of pneumonia.

John Wesley would go to Habersham to the Mills to get cloth. Hannah did weave cloth, bedspread. Knitted all stockings (up above knee), dye white stockings with green walnut hulls. Hannah made a suit for father-in-law Asbury Warwick.

Hannah's Mother and Daddy--Melinda (would sit in the corner and smoke a pipe made of clay) and Posey Potts lived at Mossy Creek. Several of their boys lived in Texas so they sold out and moved to Mart, Texas. Hannah's sister Ellie Potts married Jim Hamp Ivie.

Met W. D. Ivie in 1913. W.D. Ivie had gone to work for Floyd Kenimer. John Kenimer brought W.D. to house meet. Met him one Sunday morning--he was wearing a red tie and straw hat.  Walked to Macedonia Church with him and John K. Married 1 year later--Feb. 1, 1914, first day and first Sunday in Feb. Married by Preacher Patterson in home. Made an altar of honeysuckle. Went to church at Zion after a 10:00 wedding. Back home for dinner. Went to W. D. Ivie's home for supper and night.

Brother Wylie and brother Charlie had supper there too but returned home. The third day Dora and Dallas got a two horse wagon to come to Cornelia to buy a bedroom suit, wood range (stove), rocking chair. Also rode in first car that day--belonged to Ed Barr. Next day to Dora's home to get a bed, can stuff, lard, flour. Her daddy gave her $5 and a cow.

Moved to Cornelia--Hill's Mill Road--and lived there 5 years. Then to Cornelia 1 year--Henry was born. Back to Hill's Mill Road on the hill and lived there 5 years. House burned down. Dora and W.D. went to Florida--Vera Beach. W.D. went ahead and Dora came on the train with Henry (6 years) and Luna (18 months). Came back to Cornelia in March--moved to Galloway St.

Is Francisco Juan Espineta the same person as John Pinholster? Part 2

In an effort to determine if Francisco Juan Espineta is the same person as “Juan Espinosa,” John Spinholster, and John Pinholster, this is a summary of the documentation I have found up to this point (22 April 2017).

From the following we can determine that Francisco Juan Espineta was born in 18 Mar 1773 in New Smyrna, Mosquitos, East Florida and christened the next day. About 1777 the family fled to Saint Augustine. Francisco’s father Josef  was a sailor with his own boat and Francisco also became a sailor serving on the ships San Pedro and San Agustin. In September of 1794 Francisco became too ill to work and requested his position on the San Augustin be filled. By September 1795, Francisco’s father requested part of his son’s wages to pay for Francisco’s mother’s (Maria Triay) funeral. In 1796 Francisco’s ship had delivered documents to Savannah, Georgia. When his father wrote his will in 1820, Josef Espineta stated: “Son Juan Francisco left St Augustine more than 25 years ago and believed dead.” These seem to indicate that Francisco Espineta left Saint Augustine about 1796. If he fled to Savannah, he could have travelled up the Savannah River as far as it allowed (Augusta, Georgia and across the river in Edgefield County, South Carolina).  The earliest record found for John Pinholster is the 1820 Census in Liberty County, Georgia. John and Delilah Pinholster’s oldest son, David, was born in 1797 in South Carolina, so the timeline does match up for Francisco Espineta to be John Pinholster.   

Francisco Juan Espineta was born about 6 in the evening on 18 Mar 1773 in New Smyrna, Mosquitos, East Florida, the son of Jose Espineta and Maria Triay, a married couple. Pedro Camps was the priest at his christening on 19 Mar 1773 at Saint Pedro’s Parish Church, New Smyrna. His godparents were Rafael Arnandez and Margarita Arnandez. The events were recorded by Father Camps in what is now known as Father Pedro Camps’ Golden Book of the Minorcans.

Francisco’s father was Josefa Jose Espineta, born about 1748 in Mahon, Minorca, to Juan Francisco Espineta and Juanta Cintas. Francisco’s mother was Maria Triay, daughter of Sebastian Triay and Magdalena del Pozo, who was born about 1739 in Ciudadela, Minorca. Josefa was married in Minorca about 1767 to Elizabet Henandez, who probably died on the voyage to New Florida or in the early years of the colony. Josefa and Maria married about 1771 in New Smyrna.

Josefa and Maria had come to New Smyrna, in Spanish East Florida, in 1768 with more than 1200 immigrants who were indentured under the Englishman Andrew Turnbull to work in future indigo plantations, for which they would be given land. They were to serve for 6 to 8 years, after which each family would receive 50 acres, and each child 5 acres. By 1777 Turnbull had not made the transfers and many had died. The survivors were sick and starving, and over 600 fled to Saint Augustine.

After they arrived in Saint Augustine, many of the survivors testified as to their experiences in Turnbull’s colony. The below depositions of Pietro Musquetto mention Josef Spinata, who is probably Josef Espineta, and Mathew Trei (Triay),  who may be related to Maria Triay.

10 May 1777: Deposition of Pietro Musquetto

Grievances against Doctor Andrew Turnbull

Deponent 15

" Pietro Musquetto being duly sworn saith that about seven years since this Dept.'s father Anthony Musquetto being a very old man and not able to do his work was always very much beaten and abused by Nichola Moveritte a corporal, but more especially one day when the said Anthony Musquetto was sick in his bed the said Nichola Moveritte came there and beat him very severely with a large stick and this Dept. says that the said Anthony Musquitto died within two hours after and believes that the beating he received, together with being put on half allowance was the cause of his death, and this Dept. further saith that he hath been always badly used and severely beat by the said Nichola Moveritte and always told this Dept. that he would kill him as well as he killed his father and this Dept says he was afraid the said Nichola Moveritte would kill him and therefore he came away.

Pietro Musquetto (his mark)

Sworn the 7 th day of May 1777 before Spencer Man

Pietro Musquetto being duly sworn saith that he was present when Mathew Trei a servant of Dr. Turnbulls was in the field at work when Nichola Moveritte the Corporal was quarrelling with Joseph Spinata who was standing close by the said Mathew Trei and saw the said Nichola Moveritte lift up an ax, and throw at the said Josefa Spinata, but missed him, and hit the said Mathew Trei in the head & killed him.

In 1783 Josefa Espineta is listed on the St. Augustine Census. The 1783 Treaty of Paris gave Florida back to the Spanish and Josefa had to swear a loyalty oath:

Isabella (Laughton) McVeigh (1785-1833)

I found Isabella (Laughton) McVeigh's burial record.

Edward McVeigh (b. 1801 Ireland and living on the Isle of Man on the 1841 Census) married Isabella Laughton in 1825 on the Isle of Man.

Ed. McVey and Isabella Laughton, t.t. John Lewin and Mary Druid, "Register of Baptisms and Marriages of the Catholics of the Isle of Man 1817-1849"

Edward is possibly is the brother or father of my James McVeigh (b.1819 Ireland or Isle of Man, d. 1897 Florida, USA), who lived mainly in Liberty County, Georgia, USA. Note: If Edward is James McVeigh's father or brother, James would have been about 6 years old.

In 1832 they apparently separated. Edward announced that he would no longer be responsible for Isabella's debts.

The Sun, Jun 19 1832: "Edward McVeagh announces that he will not be responsible for any debts incurred by his wife Isabella McVeagh."

Certificate of State and County Assessor

Jno. R. Pickens, State and County Assessor in County of Parker, certify T. H. Warwick is in tax rolls of said county with a homestead valued at $500, and other property “nothing.”

19th Oct 1915 Jno. R. Pickens

“ I know Mr. Warwick to be a good man; he says he served in the Confederate Army all the time from 1863 to close, and was paroled after he surrendered. His witnesses of service, Mr. Westmoreland and Mr. Densmore, call it ‘Ga. State Troops.’ I think this is a mistake; but you can verify or disprove his statement by consulting the ‘War Records’ at Washington. I therefore recommend that he be pensioned unless you find he did not serve and this I do not believe you will find.”
