  • Notes 

    • 1900 Banks County Georgia Census
      Anderson 465 District; Maysville
      Enumeration Date: June 2, 1900
      Sheet 2-B; Line 75

      Yarborough James M. Head 34 b. July 1865 GA GA GA Merchant
      Carra wife 27 b. May 1873 GA GA GA
      Murl dau 09 b. Sept 1890 GA GA GA
      Susie Dau 06 b. Apr 1894 GA GA GA
      Gertrude dau 04 b. May 1896 GA GA GA
      Long son 01 b. July 1898 GA GA GA

      On the 1900 census it shows that Carrie has had 5 children and that only 4 children are still living. Looking at the ages of the children, it appears that Carrie had a child born between Murl and Susie. I do not know if this child was a girl or a boy or how long the child lived.

      From the book "The History of Hall County" pg. 174:

      In mid-1883, several Klansmen were accused of whipping a group of blacks in Banks County. United States marshals from Gainesville arrested J. M. Neal, James and Caleb Yarbrough and Stacy Linderman in Maysville on the charges. One local paper commented that "We hope they will be able to prove their innocence from such severe charges. On August 11th they appeared before Commissioner Dunlap in Gainesville. They were represented by Howard Thompson and H. W. J. Ham. After a number of delays, the case came up for trail in October. By this time several others had been added to the list of defendants, which now included Jasper Yarbrough, James Yarbrough, Dilmus Yarbrough, Neal Yarbrough, Lovel Streetman, Bold Emory, and E. H. Green. The jury was chosen and consisted of both blacks and whites. It was noted that they were indicted based on a section of the revised statutes relating to protected political expression. They were charged with whipping the blacks for voting for a certain candidate in the congressional race. They were found guilty and placed in the Fulton County jail while their lawyers worked to secure a new trail.
