The "Story of Bulloch County" reports that "It was in 1850 when Peter Cone entered the arena of Georgia politics. He was a dominant figure in the politics of the state and was returned to the Senate at each successive election, with one exception, until
1852 when he voluntarily withdrew from public affairs. It is said that his sister Kesiah [Cone Sheffield Deloach] managed his political campaigns."
