Joiner of Georgia By Jeannette Holland Austin
Alfred Jefferson Joiner was born 14 October 1827, died 1904. He was married to Priscilla Frances Collins (born 14 April 1830)on 20 November 1847. Alfred's father, Asa, was a pioneer settler to Omaha, Georgia, in Stewart County, having migrated from Nash County, North Carolina. Asa was active in the affairs of the Summerhill Baptist Church and was elected Marshal of the church Camp Ground in 1843, 1844 and 1845. In 1852, Asa sold his land in Stewart County and followed his eldest son, Alfred, to East Baker County and settled there in the Pine Cliff Communith (southwest of Camilla and six miles from Newton). There they joined the first Grand Jury in Mitchell County (1858) after Mitchell was created from Baker County. They were charter members of the Evergreen Baptist Church when it was organized in 1857.
