• Notes

  Bathsheba was said to be a Cherrokee Indian. She and her three siblings were living in the household of Henry E. and Olive Ganiney in the 1860 Charlton Co GA Census. The census states her age as 10 and her siblings were younger. In the book "Once Upon a Lifetime" by Lavice Smallwood, I found this information on Bathsheba Heath: ST. GEORGE, Georgia WITH John Arthur Barker, area's first rural mail carrier, his wife Sara: Alex Hodges, wife Dorothy, Roxie Chesser Renshaw Okefenokee Swamp, her husband Walter Renshaw. 1981 - Alex Eldry Hodges said he was the grandson of Bashie Heath, a full-blooded Indian girl. She was left in the area during the 1800s by her parents. "She had eight children by three different men, so there are a lot of us tough half breeds around here," he said.
