Dear Society Members,
Your Madison Genealogy Society continues to strive to keep membership costs at the current level. We
continue to explore opportunities to create additional income and also ways to reduce costs. Our number
one expense is that of producing and mailing our newsletters. Although we have put numerous cost saving
options in place, the cost of mailing the newsletters and the cost of ink and paper still grow. We really do
need your input on whether you would consider receiving your newsletters by e-mail or even downloading
them from the web.
Last quarter I asked that if you have access to e-mail, please send us a short e-mail so that we can update
our information and more easily share information with you. We have heard from literally no one, so it
appears maybe none of you are reading this portion of the newsletter?? Let us know if you are reading it.
This Quarter we continue with extracts from the early election results for Madison County. We have done
our best to accurately extract the data but welcome any input from you on corrections. We also share some

John Thomas LESLEY (1835-1913)
Born: May 12, 1835
Died: July 13, 1913
Born in Madison County, Florida, on 12
May1835, John LESLEY moved to Tampa with
his family in 1848. During the Third Seminole
War, Lesley joined the Florida militia as a private
but quickly was promoted to lieutenant. At the
outbreak of the War Between the States, he formed
a company of Tampa men and was elected its
captain. In October 1862, Lesley was
commissioned a major in the Confederate Army.
At the end of the war, he returned to Tampa to
establish his financial and social position. During
the next several years, Lesley not only served as
sheriff for two years but also built a sawmill that
supplied much of the lumber used to re-build the
town. He later became a cattle rancher and state
legislator.
At the end of 1865, Tampa resembled a ghost
town. The majority of residents had left the city
during the war (although a significant number
eventually returned), the economic condition was
dismal and there was no municipal government.
The election of Edward CLARK as mayor on
October 25, 1866 was unable to substantially
improve conditions. Clark’s Administration was
confronted with an empty treasury, yellow fever
epidemics and frequent unrest in the city. The
situation worsened with arrival of federal troops
and administrators to impose the Reconstruction
policies established by the U.S. Congress. Deeply
resented by the population, soldiers and federal
civil authorities were subjected to frequent
harassment. In response, both federal military and
civil authorities used their position to make life
even more miserable for the resident population.
The antagonism between federal authorities and
Tampa residents was the foundation for John
Lesley’s mayoral campaign in early 1869. He
campaigned on a single platform that Tampa’s
charter should be revoked by the state legislature
due to the City’s destitute financial condition. The
majority of residents agreed and Lesley was
elected mayor on March 1, 1869. While a city
clerk, treasurer and a city council was elected, the
Lesley Administration did little more than wait
until the state legislature revoked Tampa’s Charter
due to an inactive government. On October 4,
1869, the state legislature responded as expected
and revoked the City’s charter. When the news
reached Tampa, Lesley and other City officials
resigned their positions. The Hillsborough County

government appropriated all City properties and
assumed responsibility for providing educational
and other principal services to Tampa’s residents.
Tampa’s status as a non-chartered city continued
until August 1873 when residents voted to re-
incorporate the city. 12th Mayor of Tampa: Term
March 1, 1869 – October 4, 1869

United Daughters of the Confederacy
The United Daughters of the Confederacy was
created as a coalition of civic and patriotic
societies of southern women on September 10,
1894 in Nashville, Tennessee. Its goals were set
as the federation of all bodies of Southern women
cultivating ties among those whose "fathers,
brothers, sons, and mothers shared common
dangers" and to perpetuate honor, integrity and
other "noble attributes to true Southern character."
The Florida Division of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy had its origins in Jacksonville,
where its first Florida chapter was chartered on
November 7, 1895. In January 1897 this chapter
was named the Martha Reid Chapter No. 19 in
honor of Mrs. Mary Martha REID, the matron of
Florida Hospital, a Civil War hospital established
in Richmond. In order for Florida to form a
Division, three more chapters were needed. By
July 14, 1897, five chapters had been chartered,
and the First Annual Convention of the Florida
Division U.D.C. was held in Jacksonville.

Horrible Death. Mangled under the Wheels
of a Passenger Train.
On last Thursday night there occurred one of
the most horrible death scenes in this country
which we have ever been called upon to chronicle.
The scene itself was not only horrifying and
sickening to behold, but the peculiar circumstances
under which it took place, and the other facts
connected with the young victim's surroundings in
life, serve only to make this sad occurrence the
more lamentable.
On Thursday afternoon the deceased, Samuel
MCLEOD, got on the freight train near his home,
some three and a half miles beyond station 17 in
this county, and came to Quitman. His mission
was one of business--not one of pastime or frolic--
but the parties whom he expected to see were out
of town. Finding that it would be impossible for
him to transact the business which had brought
him here, and being no doubt very much
disappointed, he became restless. He knew that he
could not get away before the 3 o'clock train
arrived the next morning, and whilst rambling
about town that evening, not knowing exactly
where to go or what to do, he fell into bad
company and got to drinking. About night he was
noticed to be under the influence of liquor, and
when invited to the home of a friend and relative
in town, he declined by saying that he was in no
condition to go to the house of anyone, and that he
thought he would walk home that night.
His house is very near the line of the railroad,
about ten miles west of Quitman, and he must have
left town on his walk homeward soon after dark.
He is supposed to have reached the Shanties on the
railroad some four and a half miles distant about
fifteen or twenty minutes before the dawn
passenger train passed, as the section master and
his family testified at the Coroner's inquest that
they heard someone hallooing on the road near the
house a few minutes before the train passed. An
inmate of the house answered and asked "who is
there and what do you want?" There being no
answer, no one went out to see who it was and the
family retired, thinking no more about it, until
some fifteen minutes later when as the train was
passing, they heard an unusually loud, quick blow
of the whistle to put on the brakes.
The brakes were promptly brought into
requisition, the engine reversed and the train
stopped, but, alas! Too late. The engineer states
that he observed the man sitting on the track and
blew the whistle in ample time for him to get out
of danger, but the unfortunate victim, in his stupid
condition, did not realize his situation, as he arose
and staggered further on towards the center of the
track. He was struck by the cow catcher and
carried a short distance, when he fell to one side
and was caught under the wheels, in which
condition he was dragged and horribly mangled
for about thirty yards.
Although Sam MCLEOD was well known by
the conductor of the train and by Mr. AUSTIN, the
section master, they could not recognize him, so
fearfully had he been mangled. Mr. Austin was
instructed to take charge of the remains and to
bring them down to Quitman on his pole car the
next morning, when it was hoped the unfortunate
man would be identified.
Sam MCLEOD was a friend and relative of
the writer, and as soon as the train brought the
news that a man had been killed on the road at the
place designated, we suspected who it might have
been, having learned that he had been drinking and
that he had started to walk home on the railroad
Volume 17, Issue 3 The Madison County, Florida Genealogical News Jul-Sep 2012
73
that evening. Accordingly, we secured two horses
and a companion and started for the scene, which,
for its hastiness and heart-melting effects will be
remembered by us until the hour of death.
We found that what we had suspected was
only too true--the mangled corpse was that of our
own cousin, and the last of seven sons of our old
and aged uncle and aunt, Norman and Margaret
MCLEOD, whose tottering frames were almost
wrecked after a journey in life of more than three
score years. Those interested and a sympathetic
public we feel assured will pardon us for here
giving a bit of the remarkable history of this
family. At the breaking out of the late war
between the States this was probably one of the
largest families to be found anywhere in this
section--numbering seven boys and five girls, none
of whom were married. Among the first volunteer
companies the three oldest boys enlisted and went
to the front. In the course of a year or two the next
two oldest reached the required age and joined the
army. When the Southern armies surrendered
there was not one of them left to return to their
once happy home. Thus had these aged parents
seen the lives of their first five sons sacrificed, one
by one, in vain upon the alter of their country.
They still had two sons left, who, at the close of
the war were small boys. Gradually they grew into
manhood, and in the latter part of 1873 the
youngest of these was killed in a difficulty in
Swainsboro, Emanuel County. We have told our
readers of the sad fate of the other.
Before concluding this article it is just that we
should say that Sam MCLEOD was anything else
but a drunkard. We have known him intimately all
his life, and have every reason to believe that he
was influenced by others to drink too much on the
evening of his death, and that had it not been for
the peculiar circumstances surrounding him at that
time he would have been a sober man that night.
We never heard of his drinking before, but he was
esteemed by all who knew him; and be it known to
his credit that he was energetic and industrious,
and that his greatest pleasure was to provide for
and contribute to the wants and gratify the wishes
of his aged parents and loving sisters. Few boys of
his age ever bore the great responsibility that has
rested entirely upon him almost from the time he
could hold the plow-share, and fewer still can be
found who were more self-sacrificing. After the
war the family was left in reduced circumstances,
and he went to work like a man to make a support.
By economy and hard work he has improved his
farm a little every year as he grew older, and no
young man in the country, who has had as much to
contend with, has accomplished more than he.
Then who is it that cannot, in sight of the
many virtues of this noble boy, overlook, yea
forget the single fault, the one misstep supposed to
have caused his untimely death? Would to God
there were more like him, and that he could have
been longer spared to those who knew him best
and loved him most, and whose home has been
robbed of a noble son and brother and kind
provider. [Extracted from Quitman Reporter,
Thursday, November 25, 1875]

Osnaburg
Osnaburg was a coarse type of plain textile fabric,
named for the city of Osnabruck (from which it
may have been first imported into English-
speaking countries). Originally made from flax
yarns, it has been made from either flax, tow, or
jute yarns, or mixtures of them and often entirely
of jute. The finer and better qualities formed a kind
of common sheeting, and the various kinds could
contain from 20 to 36 threads per inch. It began to
be woven in Scotland as an imitation from a
German import of a coarse lint or tow-based linen
cloth in the later 1730s. It quickly became the
most important variety in East-Central Scotland.
Sales quadrupled, from 0.5 million yards in 1747
to 2.2 million yards in 1758. It was exported
mainly to England, the Netherlands and Britain's
colonies in America, and some rough fabrics were
called "osnaburg" as late as the mid-twentieth
century. In the Atlantic plantation complex, prior
to the abolition of slavery, osnaburg was the fabric
most often used for slave garments. [Extracted

Madison County Confederate Soldiers
Florida is considered by many historians to be the
forgotten state of the Confederacy. Florida's
population in 1861, of 140,000, ranked it the
smallest of all the confederate states. The third
state to secede, it provided about 15,000 troops
during the war. These troops were organized into
eleven infantry regiments, two cavalry regiments,
a handful of artillery batteries and a variety of
smaller organizations. Another important
contribution to the Confederacy was the large
amount of cattle the state provided to the
Confederacy. Also with over 1300 miles of
coastline a number of small salt distillers provided
much needed salt for the war effort. Florida units
fought in most of the major battles during the war
with brigades in the Army of Northern Virginia
and the Army of Tennessee. Small units also
defended the state from several Yankee invasions
during the war and the capital, Tallahassee,
remained uncaptured during the war.

4th
Fla. Inf.
Mr. L. A. M. THOMAS, who departed this
life on Wednesday, September 4, 1901, aged 78
years, was a native of Thomas, Georgia. He came
to Madison County, Florida, early in life. In 1851
he married Miss Amanda WHITLOCK who
preceded him to the better land twenty-one years
ago. He was a soldier of Jesus Christ having united
with the Madison Baptist Church about 40 years
ago. He was also a veteran of the Confederacy,
having served during the war, and was employed
largely in the purchase of mules and horses. He
never spoke unkindly of anyone, was a devout
reader of his Bible, though not often found in
God's house; having lost his hearing some time
ago which made it painful to try and listen to
preaching. In the presence of a large company of
sympathizing relatives and friends his remains
were laid to rest in the Madison cemetery, after a
short service conducted by his pastor the Rev.
Stephen CROCKETT. [Extracted from Madison
County New Enterprise, 12 Sep 1901]
On 14 Aug 1897, Lewis A. M. THOMAS, aged 72
years, by occupation a farmer, declared that he was
the same man who in 1863 enrolled in Captain
Charlie BEGGS Company. He stated that he had
been of feeble health for twenty years caused
principally from weak lungs which rendered him
unable to perform manual labor. Claim was
apparently denied. Application #D01244.

WHITLOCK, Charles A., Sgt. Maj./ / /5th
Fla. Inf.
The 5th Infantry Regiment completed its
organization at Tallahassee, Florida, during the
spring of 1862. It was comprised of companies
from Santa Rosa, Baker, Polk, Calhoun, Okaloosa,
Wakulla, Madison, and Liberty counties. It served
in General Pryor's, E.A. Perry's, and Finegan's
Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia. It also fought
with the Army from Second Manassas to Cold
Harbor, then was active in the Petersburg trenches
south of the James River and the Appomattox
Campaign. Only one man was wounded at
Fredericksburg , but the unit lost 6 killed and 22
wounded at Chancellorsville and thirty-five
percent of the 321 at Gettysburg. It surrendered
with 6 officers and 47 men. The Regiment’s
officers were Colonels John C. HATELY and
Thomas B. LAMAR and Major Benjamin F.

INGLIS, John Livingston/1 Jan 1838/3 Jun
1917/ Capt., Co. D, 3rd
Fla. Inf.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, in 1861,
Capt. John Livingston INGLIS enlisted as a
private in the Wakulla Guards, at Newport,
Volume 17, Issue 3 The Madison County, Florida Genealogical News Jul-Sep 2012

Florida. His captain was D. L. FRIERSON. His
company was stationed at Fort Williams, at the
mouth of the St. Marks River, and later assigned to
the Second Florida Regiment. Still a little later,
Captains FRIERSON and BREVARD exchanged
regiments, Captain Brevard’s company being
transferred from the Third to the Second and
Captain Frierson’s from the Second to the Third
Florida regiment, Colonel DILWORTH
commanding. When the company was mustered
into this regiment, Captain INGLIS was elected
second sergeant, and was placed in command of
the 10-inch Armstrong gun that was mounted at
Fort Clinch, near the mouth of Fernandina Harbor,
and was in command of that gun when General
Robert E. LEE inspected the defenses at
Fernandina. The regiment was then moved near
Otter Creek and Capt. INGLIS was one of a
detachment that surprised the blockade party that
burned the salt works, wounding and killing a
great many of the enemy. Their next service was
on picket duty at Baldwin, near the three-mile
branch from Jacksonville. They were then ordered
to the Army of Tennessee. As an interesting
incident, it may be mentioned that at the battle of
Perryville, the 3rd Florida regiment commanded
by Col. MILLER, of Pensacola, captured a
Wisconsin battery of which his half-brother was a
member. His father was an assistant engineer in
the US Navy, and save these two, the remainder of
the family were in the Confederate Army.
At their reorganization at Mount Pleasant,
Capt. INGLIS was elected 3rd Lieut., and served
continuously with his company until the Battle of
Nashville, in December, 1864, participating in
nearly every engagement from Munfordville,
Kentucky to Nashville. He was wounded at
Perryville, Kentucky, and at Missionary Ridge,
Tennessee. At the Battle of Murfreesboro,
Tennessee, Capt. FRIERSON resigned on account
of bad health and General J. C.
BRECKENBRIDGE, Corps Commander,
appointed Lieutenant INGLIS captain of the
company, subject to examination, which
examination was successfully passed at Jackson,
Mississippi, and he was duly commissioned
captain. His active service in the Army closed
with the Battle of Nashville, in December, 1864,
where he was captured and held prisoner of war
until the end of the hostilities. With his regiment,
the Third Florida, he participated in practically all
the hard fighting of the Western Army. Returning
to Florida after the close of the war, his first work
was to run as chief engineer on St. Johns River,
and in 1866 he engaged in sawmilling in Cedar
Keys, and still later on cotton ginning at Madison
Florida. His various ventures were successful to
such an extent that his reputation as a businessman
of capacity became firmly established. Mr.
INGLIS religiously preserved everything
connected with the war and sent a number of
interesting relics to the Confederate Museum. He
was a useful and active member of the Robert E.
LEE Camp, U. C. V., in Jacksonville. [Extracted

Died at his home near Cherry Lake on Friday,

leg, which was but a slight wound, and at the battle
of New Hope Church near Atlanta, he received a
wound through the right shoulder which lost him
the use of his arm for the balance of his days. Mr.
WARING was one of the best known of

numbering his friends by the hundreds. For
several terms he was tax assessor of the county
and was at one time postmaster. His body was
brought to town early Saturday morning and taken

1892 Election
Grover CLEVELAND vs. Benjamin HARRISON vs. James B. WEAVER. The Republican Party in 1892
nominated President Benjamin HARRISON and replaced Vice President Levi P. MORTON with Whitelaw
REID of New York. The Democrats also selected the familiar: former president Grover CLEVELAND and
Adlai E. STEVENSON of Illinois. The Populist, or People's party, fielding candidates for the first time,
nominated Gen. James B. WEAVER of Iowa and James G. FIELD of Virginia. The main difference
between the Republicans and the Democrats in 1892 was their position on the tariff. The Republicans
supported ever-increasing rates, whereas a substantial wing of the Democratic Party pushed through a
platform plank that demanded import taxes for revenue only. The Populists called for government
ownership of the railroads and monetary reform, confronting these issues in a way the two major parties did
not. CLEVELAND, avenging his defeat of 1888, won the presidency, receiving 5,554,414 popular votes to
HARRISON’s 5,190,801. WEAVER and the Populists received 1,027,329. In the Electoral College
CLEVELAND, carrying the swing states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Indiana, garnered
277 votes to HARRISON’s 145. [Extracted from http://www.history.com/topics/presidential-

1896 ELECTION
In 1896 the Republican nominee for president was Representative William MCKINLEY of Ohio,
a "sound money" man and a strong supporter of high tariffs. His running mate was Garret A. HOBART of
New Jersey. The party's platform stressed adherence to the gold standard; western delegates bolted,
forming the Silver Republican party. The Democratic party platform was critical of President Grover
CLEVELAND and endorsed the coinage of silver at a ratio of sixteen to one. William Jennings BRYAN, a
former congressman from Nebraska, spoke at the convention in support of the platform, proclaiming, "You
shall not crucify mankind on a cross of gold." The enthusiastic response of the convention to Bryan's Cross
of Gold speech secured his hold on the presidential nomination. His running mate was Arthur Sewall of
Maine. The Populists supported Bryan but nominated Thomas WATSON of Georgia for vice president.
Silver Republicans supported the Democratic nominee, and the newly formed Gold Democrats nominated
John M. PALMER of Illinois for president and Simon B. BUCKNER of Kentucky for vice president.
Bryan toured the country, stressing his support for silver coinage as a solution for economically
disadvantaged American farmers and calling for a relaxation of credit and regulation of the railroads.
MCKINLEY remained at home and underscored the Republican commitment to the gold standard and
protectionism. The Republican campaign, heavily financed by corporate interests, successfully portrayed
BRYAN and the Populists as radicals. William MCKINLEY won, receiving 7,102,246 popular votes to
BRYAN’s 6,502,925. The Electoral College votes were 271 to 176. BRYAN did not carry any northern
industrial states, and the agricultural states of Iowa, Minnesota, and North Dakota also went Republican.
