Carrie Beulah Wilson Waldrep
by William Bradley Dunagan
My grandmother was Carrie Beulah Wilson Waldrep. I never knew my grandfather but I knew this strong willed, very spirited lady we called Grandma Beulah Waldrep.
She was married to George Hamilton Waldrep. George married Carrie Beulah Wilson on 2 Jul 1905 in , Hall Co, GA. The photo above I believe is from their wedding day. He is 20 years of age and she is 19 years old in this photo. Carrie was born on 21 Jan 1886, in Maysville, GA. She died on 6 Feb 1973, in Gainesville, Hall County, GA.
Below is a picture of the George Hamilton and Beulah Waldrep family, taken during the summer of 1939, with George H. and Beulah sitting, holding grandchildren. They had the following children:
Deuward Sherman WALDREP was born 3 Apr 1906. He died in 9 Oct 1983.
James Cicero "J.C." WALDREP was born on 19 Aug 1908. He died on 24 Jan 1964, as a result of a work place accident at the New Holland textile mill in New Holland, GA.
George Richard WALDREP was born on 3 Sep 1913. He died 2 Aug 2002.
Emily Ida Lou WALDREP was born on 24 Sep 1915. She died on 2 June 2002.
Warren Hamilton WALDREP was born on 20 Dec 1920. He died on 18 Oct 1999.
unnamed(female) WALDREP was born on 6 Mar 1925. She died on 6 Mar 1925.
Beulah's father was Cicero Columbus Wilson. Isn't that a great name. Life was not easy for Cicero, born 29 Oct 1856 in Jackson County, GA. He was only seven years old when his father, Posey Wilson was killed at the battle of Vicksburg, MS on 2 Aug 1863, fighting with the CSA, Co. E, Georgia 34th Infantry Regiment. Cicero's mother, Zelma Emily C. Thornton remarried a few years later to Eli Minish and they had several children together.

Posey Wilson(1834-1863), Cicero's father, would have been my 2nd great grandfather. In 1856 he married Zelma Emily C. Thornton(1843- ) and they had the following children:

The father of John Turby Wilson was William Wilson(1747-1842), my 5th great grandfather. He was born in Fairfax, Fairfax County, VA, on 30 Jun 1747. He married Anne Susannah Shubert-Wright from Bute, North Carolina in 1768. They had the following children:

William Wilson's father migrated to America from Antrim, Ireland. My 6th great grandfather, James Wilson was born in 1703 in Antrim County, Ireland, which is north of Belfast in Northern Ireland. There is some evidence that he paid his passage through indentureship/bond arrangement and later settled in Rockbridge, Virginia, where he died 7 Apr 1776. He was married to Rebecca Wilson Armour(1728-1820) I also found that at least one of his children, Samuel Wilson(1760-1833) served under Washington in the American Revolutionary War.

Waldrope, aka Waldrep men who fought in the American Revolution
Waldrope, aka Waldrep men who fought in the American Revolution against the British.
Some of the first settlers to America of this family name or some of its
variants were: James Wardrope, who settled in New Jersey in 1685 and
Joseph Wardrope, who first came to Georgia in 1734 with his wife and
daughter. Some research has led us to believe that this Joseph Wardrope
referenced above might be the forebearer of the Waldrep surname in
America that my family is linked to. This has been hard to document with
any degree of certainty because there is a huge gap of reliable data
missing between the time of this Joseph Wardrope and my 3rd great
grandfather Joseph Waldroup of Habersham County, GA. However, a Joseph
Wardrope, Age 35, carpenter, arrived in Georgia, 21 August 1734, and is
listed in the "List of Georgia Settlers" by Ellis Mertin Coulter and
Albert B. Saye. They show that Joseph Wardrope, age 35; came to Georgia,
1734, with wife Jean Foster and daughter Elenor, age 13. They had
married 6 July 1720 in North Kirk, Edinburgh, Scotland. (William &
Mary Quarterly Historical Mag. Vol. 8, Series 1, 1899, Pg. 193)
Jean was
born 1692 in Scotland; died in Charleston, SC. I believe at some point Joseph and family may have moved to Charleston from Savannah GA, where they originally arrived by ship. There were five Waldrope men who served with the South Carolina Militia during the British siege of Charleston. The original Joseph Waldrope would have been too old at the time so if this is our Joseph it is likely the son of Joseph Waldrope. This is difficult to document to be sure but chances are the five Waldrope men who served together were likely related to each other.
Joseph and Jean Waldroupe had the following children:
child 1. Elenor Anne Wardrope, b. 25 Sept 1721 Scotland
child 2, Helen Wardrope, b. 26 Feb 1723 Scotland
child 3. Joseph Wardrope, b. 22 March 1726 Scotland
