John Ephraim Lord
submitted by Raybon B. Lord
John Ephraim Lord was born in Wilkinson County, Georgia, on February 16, 1847, to Joseph Minton and Amarynthia Sanders Lord. He was the third of four children. According to the information we have, he joined the Confederate Army September 1, 1863, at the age of 14, but was discharged because he was under age. According to records, he re-enlisted about two years later, and served the remainder of the war. He and his older brother F. Iverson, a sargent, fought under Captain John M. Guerard’s Battery, Georgia Light Artillery.
My father, J. Benjamin Lord II , who was his grandson, was eleven years old when John Ephraim Lord died. Dad told me several interesting stories about his grandfather, which I can still remember. When John Ephraim Lord went into the Civil War the second time, he ruefully said he wished he was “a baby, and a gal baby at that”. When the war was over he was given an old poor horse to come home on. On the way the horse bogged down in a muddy branch and couldn’t get out, so he left the horse and walked the rest of the way home.
Sometime after the war, John Ephraim and his brother F. Iverson Lord, purchased some land in Wilkinson County, Georgia, near Chappell’s Mill. Somehow they did not get a clear title to the land, and consequently surrendered it. F. Iverson moved to Washington County, Georgia; and in 1884 John Ephraim Lord moved with his family to the Buckhorn community, near Rocky Creek, in Laurens County, Georgia
John Ephraim Lord was Postmaster at Buckhorn Post Office on Chicken Road in Laurens County, for several years, and served as Justice of the Peace of Hampton’s Mill District of Laurens County. He also was a farmer. He was a member, deacon, and clerk of Bay Springs Primitive Baptist Church at Montrose, Georgia. He was a leading citizen of his community and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He had over 50 grandchildren!
