Campbell) - Elisha, Elijah and Henry Cloud - Macon County was created from Houston and Marion counties on Dec. 14, 1837 by an act of the General Assembly (Ga. Laws 1837, p. 66) The first superior court held in Twiggs county was in November, 1811 at Marion, then the county seat. The first grand jurors were Francis Powell, William Grimes, N. Bagley, Robins Andrews, A. Wood, William Cloud, William Fort, John Matthews, John Wilkinson, John Young, Thomas C. Hedleberg, Arthur Fort, Jr., B. Joiner, John Hawthorn, S. Barberee, Ashley Wood, T. Pearce, S. Dick, William Carr, John Evans. Old Marion is about midway between Bullard's Station, on the southern and Jeffersonville, and is about six miles between each. It is about one hundred years old, and was for many years the county seat of Twiggs. At one time it had a population of from eight hundred to one thousand, and it was at that time larger than Macon. The original survey of the Central railway from Savannah was to that point instead of Macon, but the people did not want their chickens and stock killed by the trains, and did not look with favourable eyes on the advent of the steam carriage. Marion boasted of a bank, post office, and several good business houses The old families who lived and were alive there were the Wimberleys, Arthur Fort, William Crocker, Tarvers, Faulks, Solomons, Griffins, Joneses, Richardsons, and others. After the war between the states the courthouse was moved to Jeffersonville and the town of Marion went down. Some of the old houses were taken down and moved to Jeffersonville, and a friend who furnished me the information about Marion said that he traveled that circuit in 1877-79, and that it was about all gone, with only a family or two living there. It is now only a cross-roads with one Negro family. By Mrs. J. L.
