SHAKERS: The Shaker Communities in Southeast GeorgiaAbstract of artIcle by above name, found pages 162-172, GeorQia Historical

Quarterly, Vol. L, June, 1966, No.2.~ This communal rei igious body organized at the United Society of Bel levers

in Christ's Second Appearing, commonly known as Shakers, maintains only threecenters, a II j n New Eng Iand. The ir ex Istence in Georg ia cou Id very we II be un-known to many with Georgia interests in genealogy. ." -

The organization camelnto being In England in the 18th Century. As astruggling group was led by James and Jane \AJardley,formerly Quakers. Ann Lee,their most devoted convert, regarded as the founder of the Shaker faith, andreferred to, reverently, as Mother Ann, were bitterly persecuted in England, andshe thus led a band of eight of their people to New York in 1774j in 1776 theypurchased land at Watervl let, N.Y. Again they were persecuted but grew andspread to Maine, N.H., Mass., Ohio, Ind., Ky. Near the end of the 19th Century,they spred also to Ashland, Osceola Co., Fla. (1894; and in Glynn Co., Ga., aswell as Wh ite Oak, Camden Co., Ga. (1898). ' , -

Elder Joseph Singerland left Union Village, near lebanon, OhiO, to meettrustees from the Eastern communitl~s to explore Florida, and it seems they alsoexplored Georgia. Those who came to Osceola Co. Fla. were from Watervl let, N.Y.Those to Georgia from ~nion Vii laqe of S.W. Ohio. 7,000 acres of Georgia landwas to be purchased; the Altama and Hopeton plantations, valued before the w~rat $600,000, were purchased by them for $26,000; they consisted of 10,500 acresof neglected land. The first seven colonists stayed with C. l. EI I iot at Bruns-wick upon their arrival. Dr. Joseph R. Singerland supervised the move. TheAltama and Hopeton plantations were ancestral homes of the Corbins and theCoupers of Georgia history. (A little of the history of these plantatio~s is''-----./contained in this article).,., ,

All Is'not known as to why the Shakers became dissatisfied in Georgia, andtheir Glynn Co. property was managed by a non-Shaker, R. T. Clark until sold.From Glynn County, they turned their.attentlon to Camden' COunty, White Oak, 20miles only from Brunswick, where 6,995 ac~es were purchased from ,~. T~ McKinnonOct. 15, 1898, and eleven or twelve block In White Oak, Jan; IO,'f~99; an add-itional 150 acres purchaed Apr. 29, 1899, but by Sep. 29, 1902, the Shakersdisposed of their White Oak properties, and thus ended the Georgia venture.

Because of their strict beliefs in the fundamental principles of celibacy,children of the Shaker settlements are understood to have been brought Into thegroup, thus making the community a shelter for orphans as wel I. They adheredalso to humi I ity, communal ownership of property, and the buildings they builthave been described as luxurious with al I modern conveniences of the day.

Though not too many names are contained 'in this article, probably becauseno list has been found of all these Georgia and Florida Shaker settlers, copyof same may be of interest to anyone whose research reaches in this direction.The Shaker Community of Florida is an article referred to in the excel lent foot-notes, from the Florida Historical Quarterly, Volume 37, July 1959, pages 2~-44.
