Thanks to McCook's Pharmacy for making the replay of the Bulloch Tid Bit's available on Grice Connect.
My great, great grandmother, Frances Dumas Adams made a beautiful quilt in 1850. The Adams had a land grant from King George in Upson County, Georgia. They owned the mica mines. The quilt was buried in the chicken coop during the Civil War. The pattern is called the Whig Rose. It has many pomegranates in the background. It was repaired by the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.
Bulloch Tidbits are a weekly feature written and narrated by the Bulloch County Historical Society (BCHS) Executive Director Virginia Anne Franklin Waters. Each week Virginia Anne takes Grice Connect readers onto a historical journey back in time saluting the people and places that have make Statesboro and Bulloch a wonderful place to call home.
Bulloch Tidbits on Grice Connect are made possible thanks to the generous support of McCook's Pharmacy a locally owned pharmacy located at 23630 US-80 in Statesboro.
