From an account in There Was A Land   History of

Talbot, County

 

“Among the early settlers in the town of Talbotton

was George W. Towns.  He was appointed one of the

commissioners for the town of Talbotton when it was

incorporated by  act of the General Assembly in

1828. George Washing Towns was born in Wilkes

County,  Georgia,  May 4,  1801.  His father John

Towns,  was a native of Virginia and Revolutionary

soldier.  The Towns family moved from Wilkes County

to Greene County  and thence to Morgan County, where

John Towns died.  However,  John Towns was a

resident of Talbot County at the time as his will is

probated here. “     *not a resident….his son & wife

were residents….

 

“Govenor Towns commenced the study of medicine under

Dr. Branham of Eatonton,  but soon thereafter was

thrown from a horse and gravely injured.  He gave

uup the thought of medicine and went to Montgomery,

Alabama  at the age of 20  where he read law under

Mr.  Benson,  a prominent lawyer there. 

About that time he married a Miss Campbell,  who

died a few days after the marriage.  He speculated

with some success in town lots in Montgomery and for

a brief period was in the mercantile business in

Talbotton.  He became colonel of militia in Talbot

Count.  Upon entering the practice of law in

Talbotton,  he became highly popular.  In 1829 he

was elected Representative from Talbot County..re-

elected in 1830 and went to the Senate in 1832.

 

In 1835 he was elected a member of the 24th Congress

as a Union Democrat serving from December 7, 1835 to

September 1, 1836  when he resigned.  He was elected

to the 25th Congress in 1835 and served the full

term. 

 

He then returned to practice of his profession in

Talbotton until Washington Poe resigned his seat in

the 29th Congress.  Governor Towns was elect3d to

this vacancy, taking his seat January 27, 1847  and

serving the remainder of the term. He was defeated

for re-election by John W. Jones.

This information pertains to the Poe that settled in Habersham Co, GA and then onto Benton / Calhoun (and Talledega) Counties in Alabama. Some records show Poe bured in Green Cemetery. Connected to this family is Edmond/Edmund Poe and Stephen Poe (see Wilkes County, NC and Georgia records)

Research is ongoing, but this group appears connected to Surry / Wilkes / Ashe County, North Carolina. Below the notes I have pertinent links for those analyzing these families.
