WAVERLY:PARTTWO

By: Grant Fulgham

November 24, 2001George Hampton Young, the youngest son of George and Nancy Hampton Young, graduated from the University ofGeorgia in 1821 and subsequently obtained a law degree from Columbia University before marrying Lucy Watkins in1825. George and Lucy moved to Lexington, Georgia, where heset up a law practice and was elected to the GeorgiaLegislature. When Mississippi lands were ceded to the US government afier the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit in 1830,Young went to the region as secretary to General Humphries, the government representative in charge of land sales.Young bought five sections of land from James Colbert, awhite settler among the Chickasaw, and settled down with Lucyand their growing family. Later he bought 50,000 acres on the Tombigbee River fi'om Mullen, Bea], and Bigbee andabout 1840, after he and his brother, Sanford, built a log house, moved to Mullen’s bluff. He named this plantationWaverly, after Sir Walter Scott’s novel. The family lived in the original two-story log dwelling while heconstructed oneof Mississippi’s most magnificent mansions.‘5

George Hampton Young’s father died at his plantation in Lexington, Georgia on January 10, 1839. Soon thereafier,perhaps at the urging of George Hampton, his widowed 84-year‐old mother, his brother Sanford, his oldest sister, Sally C.Young and her husband, Charles Barnett Lee, and their married daughter, Nancy W. Lee, her husband, Groves Howard,and their young children all made the arduous journey by wagon train from Lexington, Georgia to West Point,Mississippi. The Lee and Howard families settled in the area northwest of West Point later called the “Hawkins’ HomePlace” asdid Sally’s brother, Sanford Young. Groves andNancy Howard, by 1841,had four children.6

The second son of John Fulgham, i.e., John Raiford Fulgham of Bibb County, Alabama, had, by 1850, beenmarried seventeen years and he and his wife,NancyWillis, had ten children.

Nancy Willis died in 1850, coincidentally as did her youngest child, Mary. John Raiford remarried within a year, onMarch 27, 1851 to Mary E. McGill with the Rev. John Steele presiding, Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church, Eoline, BibbCounty, Alabama. Although John R. bought land in the Double Springs Community, Self Creek area of OktibbehaCounty, Mississippi in 1850, it was not until 1852 that the Fulghams, along with seven neighboring families from BibbCounty, immigrated by wagon train to Mississippi. The Fulghams were accompanied by the families of Ambrose

Medders, IshamStacy, James Steele, Richard L. Woodward, ReubenFriday, Samuel Friday, and SquireHarpole. RichardWoodward, of course, was John R.’s brother-in‐law. Thus began the Fulgham enclave that has populated that part ofOktibbeha County ever since.

By 1850, work onWaverly was well underway. In the custom of most ante bellummansion builders, George Young hadimported many artisans, craftsmen, and skilled workers to do the construction. The woodwork was executed by Englishcraftsmen, the stained glass sidelights came from Venice, and the fireplace mantels were of carved Italian marble.Additionally, Young wanted his mansion to have in‐door plumbing, aninnovation and luxury quite advanced for the time.To find a reliable source of water for his mansion, Young contracted with a twenty-five year old North Carolina drillernamed Sneed Haley. Haley drilled deep through bedrock and struck artesian water with enough static head pressure thatWaverly was supplied water without pumpinguntil the late 1800’s.

WhenWaverly was completed in 1852, sixteen-year‐old SusanHoward,Young’s neighbor and niece, had beena regular visitor watching the construction and, as became clear later, was impressed with the young driller,Haley. In those days, deep drilling through bedrock was not accomplished with a rotary drill. The rotary rockdrill, later perfected and patented by Howard Hughes, the father of the noted industrialist, was decades in thefuture. In 1850, the task was accomplished by hanging a “string of tools” fiom acable attached at ground levelto a “walking beam” power actuated to rock up and down, lifting and dropping the tools into the well shalt. Atthe end of the string of tools was asharp heat-treated tool designed to virtually pound its way through the rock.Periodically, the tools were lifted from the shaft, a new sharpened tool installed, the crushed rock grappled out,and the process continued. The operation required a steam engine to power the walking beam, a smithy tomaintain the tools, and a manager with the knowledge, skills, and capital to organize and finance the projectuntil the water was brought in. It was an impressive operation for those days and Haley was no small timeoperator. According to the 1860 census, his personal property holdings were valued at $9,620 and, usingtoday’s price of gold compared to the 1860 price of gold, his holdings would be worth $481,000 in today’smoney.

On April 20, 1853, seventeen year old Nancy Susan Howard and Sneed Haley were married.9 They settled northwest ofWest Point, Mississippi in the area where Susan’s Grandmother Lee had lived, called locally the “Hawkins HomePlace”.An immediate neighbor was Sanford Young, George of Waverly’s older brother. Three years later, in 1856, Alice Haleywas born, setting the stage for her youthful remembrances of the Civil War andWaverly.10

The Civil War was aterrible tragedy for the John R. Fulghamfamily. In it he lost two brothers, two sons, and two sons‑in-law. His brother Anthony, b. 1833,died in camp in 1862,Company B, 44th Alabama Infantry. His brother Elias, b.1837 died 30April 1865,Company C, 43rd Alabama Infantry. His brother Ed, b. 1829,was not killed and served in Co.H, Slst Arkansas Militia. His brother James Willis, b. 1837, served in Co. D, 20th Alabama Infantry. His brother Jesse,b. 1840,served in Co. 1,11thMississippiCavalry. John R. lost his son "Mikey" soon after heenlisted in Co. K, 15thMississippi Infantry during ameasles epidemic in training camp in Corinth onJuly 28, 1861. Mikey's older brother,Phillip, had also enlisted in Co. K onJune 11, 1861, but was released from service by the Governor onAugust 14,1861because of the epidemic. Phillip later enlisted in Co. E, Wirt Adams Regiment of Cavalry and made it through thewar alive. John R. lost his daughter Betsy's husband, George Vaughan, at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.His sonWilliam Reubenb. 1845 served in Co. E, 11thMississippiCavalry and died in aCSA hospital in Montgomery, Alabamain 1864. John R.'s daughter, Edie‘s husband, Thomas Rasberry, never returned afier the war and is presumed killed,perhaps as1ozne of the thousands of unknownsoldiers in unmarked graves. Thomas was with Company B, 27'h MississippiInfantry. ’

Duringthe Civi l War, Waverly was a popular meeting place for Confederate officers andGeneral NathanBedford Forrestwas a frequent guest. On festive occasions, Young would haveall of his West Point area relatives over, including young

The then-Captain ReubenReynolds was the CommandingOfficer of the VanDomReserves at that time. Dreadfulluck visited Reynolds in one of the last major battles of the war, when he lost anarm at Petersburg,March25, 1865.

Civil War Waverly was a microcosm of the Confederacy and the impressionable young Alice Amanda Haley hadobserved its rise and fall. The war favored no one, great or small. All were battered, all were wounded. In 1865, thegreat houses would begin a steady decline and some of their families would decline with them. As Mississippi slippedfrom being one of the top five wealthiest states in the union in 1860 to the poorest in 1870, the fortunes of Waverly andthe Young family declined in concert. Sanford Young died in 1866 setting the stage for Alice Haley’s childhoodmemories of buried gold. George Hampton Young died in 1880 and was buried in the family cemetery on the grounds atWaverly beside his wife, Lucy. Waverly passed to their youngest son, William L., abachelor, who, though impoverished,managed to hold onto Waverly until his death in 1913. After William’s death Waverly was abandoned and left to decayfor halfa century.6In thenar t issueweshallfollowAliceAmandaHaleyasherfamily sheds the ravagesof theGvi lWar andmerges with the Fulghamfamily.
