Biography on the memorial (contributor's text, not a primary source):
See "Distinquished Men of Georgia" published 1898 & "Georgia Memoirs" for a bio background & service of Charles William Hearn written just prior to his death. CW Hearn's mother Nancy Lynch Hearn died prior to 1815 in Hancock Co., GA. After death of his father's 2nd wife (1816-1819) & before 1832 CW Hearn & several married siblings began migrating down to Troup County, Georgia. After the death of his own first wife Nancy B. Wheeler Hearn at Troup County in Dec 1852 he married widowed Mrs. Satterwhite and eventually moved to Heard County, Georgia. He was a much respected gentleman of his time." His twice widowed father John Hearn & youngest siblings resided with married brother CW Hearn after they moved to Troup Co., GA in 1832 until marriages & death. It had been surmised that the tall white marker in the small Hearn Cemetery in Troup County had been that of his mother Nancy Lynch Hearn (in error).
