Excerpt pg 805 (scroll thru to 347 in digital copy!) paragraph 2: "John Cone, father of Ansel B., was born in Bulloch county the 19th of April, 1806, and soon after his marriage there came to Thomas county. Here his father gave him land on Ancilla creek, on which he first erected a log cabin and later a substantial hewed-log house, in which his son Ansel and other children were born. For many years after the settlement of the Cone family, this part of Georgia had few improvements. Thomasville was a hamlet, with a log courthouse. Before the railroad era John Cone hauled his produce to St. Marks in Florida, this market journey requiring several days, and afterwards Tallahassee became the nearer market. He owned a number of slaves and was one of the prosperous men of this county. His death occurred on July 23, 1869. He married Civility Walker, who was born April 7, 1809, a daughter of Isham and Civility Walker, who were born respectively on April 7, 1769, and September 24, 1777, and who spent their last years in Bulloch county. Civility (Walker) Cone died on November 12. 1889, and her twelve children were named as follows: Isham W., William A., Elizabeth S., Joseph J., James F., Aaron P., Annie C, John D., Ansel B., Margaret S., Henry F. and King S. Six of these sons served in the Confederate army, James giving his life to the southern cause, and few southern families were better represented in the war by practical service than the Cones."
