Short Story of : William Haralson Sheats

This is all of the pictures that I have of George Merrill Sheats parents and grandparents. I am sure that other siblings of his do have pictures but all have passed on and I am sure they were given to their children. I thank Charlotte for making me copies of the ones that I do have..

I do have a short story of "William Haralson Sheats" father of Jacob Zolliecoffer Sheats. William was born in Campbell County, his father Charles N. Sheats moved his family from the east side of Georga, to Campbell County, then in 1836 moved his family to Villa Rica, GA. The Sheats family is part of the first families to settle Villa Rica, GA.

William H. Sheats joined the Civil War and is listed as a 1st Sgt, deserving the "Crosses of Honor". He would have received this medal had he presented himself. Page 18, of the "The Villa Rica History Book" by Mary Talley Anderson.

Page 8, he is listed as an outstanding cotton Merchant.
