Chapter 1: Beginnings in Livingston, Georgia (1829)
Harriet Goolsby entered the world in July of 1829 in the town of Livingston, Georgia, a small but thriving settlement nestled in Meriwether County. She was born to William A. Goolsby and Anne Sorrow, both 39 years old at the time, into a family rooted in the traditions and rhythms of Southern agrarian life. The Goolsbys were among the families living in a Georgia still heavily defined by its plantation economy, complex racial dynamics, and the presence of Native American lands.
