The foregoing list is most important. Among <strong>the</strong> early settlers <strong>of</strong> Wrightsboro<br />

were <strong>the</strong> progenitors <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> oldest and best families <strong>of</strong> <strong>Georgia</strong>. Not a few<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> names above mentioned are still prominent throughout <strong>the</strong> whole middle belt.<br />

These men were Quakers—most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m at least—inclined to <strong>the</strong> arts <strong>of</strong> peace ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />

than to <strong>the</strong> pursuit <strong>of</strong> war. But <strong>the</strong> subsequent history <strong>of</strong> <strong>Georgia</strong> proves that <strong>the</strong>y<br />

could fight like lions at bay when <strong>the</strong> necessity for resistance arose; and from <strong>the</strong>se<br />

gentle molds <strong>of</strong> ancestry has sprung <strong>the</strong> Ajax Telemon <strong>of</strong> modern state politics:<br />
