    Son of Joseph & Nancy (ALLGOOD) MORRIS, Ivey was a lay Methodist preacher in Troup, Harris and Muscogee Cos, GA, and Russell, Chambers and Clay Cos., AL. The source credits him with founding the Methodist Church at Langdale "on the west bank of the Chattahoochee River" in Chambers Co, AL.

    Buried:
    Columbus on the Chattahoochee," by Etta Blanchard Worsley (1951):

    < How long this factory continued is not known, but in 1849 the "Columbus Factory" was incorporated, "the location of the Factory to be three or four miles above Columbus on the river." The leading incorporators were Charles D. Stewart, John Fontaine, Henry D. Meigs, J. R. CLAPP and George Stewart, brothers and brothers-in-law. This was not a large mill and made yarns mainly for the country women to use in their home cotton looms. It also carded wool. This mill was burned by General Wilson's command, when the federal troops took Columbus and burned all the factories on April 17, 1865.

    After the Civil War, a mill was rebuilt at the same place, and was stocked with second-hand machinery from Louisville, Ky. Although it was incorporated as the "Columbus Manufacturing Company" in 1866, this mill, as well as the previous one, was always known as CLAPP's Factory. A railroad station nearby on the Narrow Gauge Road was also called "CLAPP's." One of the leading stockholders was a Mr. Todd, brother-in-law of General R. H. Chilton, who had been General R. E. Lee's Adjutant General. General Chilton was president, and Robert B. Gunby, secretary and treasurer.

    This mill was still in operation in 1878, with R. H. Chilton as president and A. Illges as secretary. The office of the company was in town at 32 Randolph Street (12th Street).
    In 1880, CLAPP's Factory (the Columbus Manufacturing Company) officers were: J. Rhodes Browne, president; A. Illges, secretary; R. B. Gunby, treasurer. Directors: J. Rhodes Brown, C. E. Dexter, Charles Phillips, T. M. N. Phillips, John Peabody, A. Illges, Joseph Kyle.>>

    The property was purchased in the 1920's by Columbus Power and Electric, which was eventually merged into the Georgia Power Company, with headquarters in Atlanta. Edwin M. CLAPP was the local (Columbus area) vice-president and general manager of the expanding utility. Although it has been said he was of no relation to J. R. CLAPP mentioned above, I suspect otherwise. There is an effort to restore the CLAPP's Cemetery, which served the mill community that sprang up around CLAPP's Factory.

    Richard married Christian, Mary Joice on 03 Mar 1839 in , Meriwether, Georgia. Mary (daughter of Christian, Obediah Maske and Barnes, Joanna) was born on 15 Feb 1814 in , Madison, Georgia; died on 17 May 1862 in Flat Rock, Randolph, Alabama; was buried in May 1862. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
