SUNBURY ACADEMY STUDENT LIST: 1807

Old Sunbury Academy
A Rare Old List of People Long Passed Away

From the Hinesville, Ga., Gazette -- The following, kindly furnished us by Colonel C.C. Jones, the distinguished historian, is interesting to many of the descendants of those who were school boys in 1807 at Old Sunbury:

Augusta, Ga., September 28 -- Mr. Editor: It may interest you, and some of the readers of your valuable Gazette to see the accompanying catologue of the scholars of the Sunbury academy in 1807. It will be remembered that it was then a famous and flourishing institution of learning under the conduct of the Rev. Wm. McWhir, D.D. The catalogue is in manuscript, discolored by the stains of more than three quarters of a century. The town and academy live only in tradition, and of the pupils then present, all, I believe have passed into the realm of shadows.

Very Truly yours,
Charles C. Jones, Jr.
