BARBEE - My GGG Grandfather, Benjamin
Barbee b. 1816 m. Catherine UNK, one of their sons was Green Barbee (my
GG Grandfather) b.1840 d. 1861 in Rockbridge Alum Springs, Virginia, during
the civil war. Green married Elizabeth Myers and one of their sons
was Benjamin Franklin Barbee who was my G Grandfather.
I believe that Benjamin b.
1816's father was James Barbee and his mother Lydia UNK. I am trying
to connect James and Lydia and, if they were married, who their children
were. I know that my Benjamin b. 1816 had a brother William.
I also see that there was a James Franklin Barbee b. 1828 who married Harriett
E. WIse b. 1825. I believe that James Franklin Barbee could have
been James and Lydia Barbees child. I know that I found a deed from
Lydia Barbee where she deeded land to her daughter, Ann Barbee Taylor (who
m. Richard Taylor).
I've hit a Brick Wall.
I do know that I am descendant of Andrew Barbee b. 1670 Essex VA.
I need any info on the Barbee's in Wilkinson Co., GA. Thanks
so much in advance. Elaine Barbee

BARLOW - John,
William and Henry Barlow were all awarded land in the 1807
land lottery of Georgia. They lived in Washington Co at the
time of the drawing, but were awarded land in Wilkinson Co. I believe
the William Barlow is the same that married Edith Mathoda, but am
trying to find the connection to John and Henry. I think John may
be my gr3 grandfather who was in Mississippi by 1811. Both
William and John had sons named Henry, but they were too young to
have been in the lottery, so I am trying also to find out what happened
to the Henry in the lottery. I have not seen further records
of him in all my years of doing Barlow genealogy. Does anyone
know where I might look for further records of these families in
Wilkinson Co? I haven't been able to find any census records
for Georgia prior to 1810. Perhaps very early wills, marriage
records, court records, etc for say about 1790 to 1810, or
earlier. Were they all burned? Thanks for
any help you might give.

BEALL - I'm looking for information
on William O. Beall who was Captain, Company F, Wilkinson Rifles during
the Civil War. Stationed at Fortress Monroe, he returned home to
Wilkinson County in ill health and died in 1862. I would like to
find where he is buried and any other information about his family.
1860 census shows him as a boot and shoe manufacturer and living in the
Irwinton District. He married Piety E. Hicks on October 8, 1843.
Their children were Mary E., Frederic D., Nancy J., Harriett and Arthur
C.
William O. Beall deeded one
acre for the church located at the fork of U. S. Hwy 441 and the Toomsboro
Road and the building was completed in 1856. He was a Baptist and
Worshipful Master of Carmel Lodge No. 150, Masonic Grand Lodge of Georgia.
I know that Frederick D. Beall
eventually moved to Laurens County and was a Postmaster. He's buried
in Bethlehem Baptist Church Cemetery. At sometime, the "a" was lost
from Beall. I believe that his son (name unknown to me) was my great-grandfather.

BRUNER - I would like to know if
anyone has any information on the Bruner's in Wilkinson Co . The Bruner
name was mispelled alots like Brewer, Bruwer, instead the n in the name
was mistaken for a w. William Bruner m. Catherine Eliizabeth Flick. He
and she came down from SC to Warren CO, Ga and then left and went to Wilkenson
Co in 1809. They had one son is all I can find and his name was William
M. Bruner. The first William Bruner died in 1818 and his wife died in 1819
supposely had the flu that went through there at that time. Where are they
buried ? Wm. was the Exec. of Daniel Kingrey will and when Wm. died Daniel
K. made William M. the Ex. The Kingrey's are buried in woods on Freeman
land and now the Watkins own this land. This 2 acres of land that was the
Kingrey's cem. only shows one grave and that is Amanda Watkins Kingery
who married a Kingrey has a gravestone. I understand you can tell others
are buried there by the soil sink and shapes of graves but no toomstones.
William M. Bruner married Elizabeth Nixon from Twiggs CO. and they inheirted
Elizabeth Nixon sister home, her sister Katheryn died about 1860 and it
was located on Irvinton Street which was close to the Court House in Wilkinson.
Does anyone have any records of them anywhere,
and where they may be buried? Daniel Kingrey wife was Susannah ? And I
think she may have been a Freeman as that set of Freeman give the Kingreys
the 2 acres of land for cem. and this may have been Susannah land
that her father left her. Any info. would be appreciated. Thanks

was in Decatur County, GA by 1850 census and he had married Jane Bryant.

BURNEY Green Blount –
I am trying to find directions to the McCallum Cemetery, where Burney and
his wife Sarah Frances Ball Burney are buried. His sons may also
be buried there. The list of cemeteries states Burney Cemetery
is located one mile west of the site of Old Ball’s Church. That places
it just inside Twiggs County. My great grandmother, who was
his granddaughter-in-law, wrote they are buried at McCallum, which is shown
on DOT maps south of Ball Church Road near McCallum’s Pond. Blue
Chip Road appears to head in that direction, but everything is Posted.
Has anyone been there? Is it accessible from Blue Chip Road or from
Magnolia Street in Jeffersonville? Rumor has these two roads used
to intersect. Who owns the land where it is located? Thank
you for any assistance you can give. JDorsey

James P. Criswell, 19 years old (future husband of Georgia Ann Shinholster).
Enlisted on 3/4/1862 as a Private, 49th Regiment Infantry Company A “Wilkinson
Invincibles”. He was discharged on 8/15/1862.
(Furnished substitute James J Howell). From http://www.researchonline.net/gacw/rosters/49thcoma.htm
Criswell, James P. private March 4, 1862. Discharged, furnished James
J. Howell as
substitute, August 15, 1862. (Born in 1843.)
W H. Daniel Enlisted on 12/15/1862 as a Private, 63rd Regiment, Georgia Infantry
Company D. Other Information: born in Baldwin County, GA 1827. Applied for
pension on 15 August 1904 and stated he was in the service until end of conflict
in 1865. He stated that his residence was Metter, Bulloch County, GA. Living
with son on farm with 67 year old wife and two grandchildren (same as 1910
census for R. F. Daniels family in Emanuel County). Received a pension in
1905, 1906, & 1907 (no more years shown in file but file contains information
on another Wilkinson County soldier so files may be mixed up). He may or
may not be the husband of Sarah (Sallie) Ann Hatcher 1, but does appear to
be the husband of Sallie Daniel 3 and maybe Sallie Daniel 2.
J. P. Criswell Enlisted on 1/29/1864 as a Private, 63rd Regiment, Georgia
Infantry Company D (no more information known, ¿may be James P. Criswell
enlisting again?).
James P. Criswell (born 25 September 1842) and Georgia Ann Shinholster were
married about 1865. James died 5 July 1927, Georgia died 3 January 1873.
Sarah Ann Criswell born 22 April 1867
1870 census, Families not found. The first page of the Wilkinson County census
is at M593-184-372(b) and is numbered page 1 (hard to read but looks like
1). On page 7 (M593-184-375(a)) the enumerator states that
"in this return there are 162 pages." 138 that he gathered and 24 taken by
another enumerator. On the last page (M593-184-489(b)) there is a statement
by the second enumerator. By my calculations there are only
117 pages that were filmed, therefore 45 pages are missing. It appears to
me that M593-184-375(b) is page 8 and M593-184-376 is page 53. The 45 missing
pages are in between. Each page contains 40 lines so there are 1,800±

DAVIS - I am requesting
assistance from anyone who may have knowledge of Elizabeth
Davis. She was born in Wilkinson County, Georgia 1808. She
may have been of Indian descent. She moved to Texas in 1841 bringing

DAVIS, Henry/POTTS, Nancy- I am interested in connecting
with anyone of this line to exchange information. I will be happy to share
anything that I might have regarding this line. My line is through Henry
Emerson Davis that married Mary Ann Boon. I
do have the scraps of their family bible, some in Henry's hand, with a
small amount of information that is contrary to some that is on the internet.
In addition, I have pictures of Henry Davis but, none of Mary Ann.
I have met with, in person
and on the internet, several collateral descendants of Henry and Nancy
Davis and we all seem to be relying on the Davidson book for our info.
I am trying to go further back and have been researching in Kentucky and
North Carolina. I have often wondered what happened to the compiled information
on this and allied families that was referred to in the Davidson book.
I have tracked down certain
segments of that branch of the family but, have been unable to confirm
descendants of the James Bower that was the grandson of Oren Davis, mentioned
in the Davidson book.
I will be in Wilkinson County
later in the year and would be delighted to meet with any Davis descendant
and exchange info. Thank you. Elizabeth

DAVIS/POTTS - Does anyone have any
info on where Henry Davis, married to Nancy Potts,
may have come from in NC ? I thought I had found him in Warren County,
KY, in 1810, but apparantly not same Henry Davis. A lot of the names in
the KY census show up in Wilkinson County census..
Some contacts have said Nancy Potts was
of Welsh origins, from an old family history. I can not find any
proof for that but would be open to further research fi someone could point
me in a direction.
In studying maps of the areas during the
late 1700's, I have wondered if Henry might have been from the western
part of NC that became Tennessee.
Any help or clue would be most appreciated
on Henry or Nancy origins, background. I will gladly share anything I have
or contacts I have made.

DUPRIEST (DUPREE), CRISWELL, BECK - I
am looking for information on Dupriests (Duprees) Becks and Criswells in
Wilkinson County, Georgia.
I have just returned
from a genealogical research trip to Georgia. It was quite productive
in solving some mysteries but presented several others.
I was especially interested
in my great-grandmother, born Mary Jane Dupree, whom I found in the 1870
census as an 11 year old, living with Aniny (mistranscription for Areny)
Dupree (50), James Dupree (14), a domestic servant, Sarah Green, and Ivison
Beck (5). The only information I had from her death certificate was
that she was born near Macon and her father's name was John. I had
found my current-generation relatives from her first husband in Savannah
and an affadavit of my grandmother's birth (she was a child of a second
marriage) said my grandmother was born in Savannah. The only other
Mary Dupree I could find of the right age in Georgia was a family in Spalding
County. If she had been from that family, her father, John, would
have been killed in the civil war, but I couldn't figure out what might
have happened to her mother, Mary, so that she was living in Savannah with
James (not a brother of the Spalding County Mary) and Ariny (no recognizable
relative of the Spalding County Mary).
From the records of the
Laurel Grove Cemetery in Savannah, I found that Arena Dupree (died 20 March
1875) was in the same burial Lot as Mary Jane's first husband and a daughter
who died young plus Gertrude Beck who died 25 Oct 1897, age 3y, 6m.
At the Georgia Historical Society,
I was able to find in the vestry records for Christ Church the marriage
of Mary Jane Dupree and her first husband, taking place "in her mother's
home." At that point I realized that Mary Jane was not the Mary of
Spalding County living with another relative, but that Arena was her mother.
It occurred to me that Arena might be a variation of Irene.
To my delight, I was able to find
1860 Census records for Bloodworth, Wilkinson, Georgia (post office, McIntyre):
Sarah Cristwell (80)
Irena Dupriest (35)
Iverson R. Dupreist (17)
Sarah M. Dupriest (15)
James Dupriest (5)
Mary J Dupriest (1)
At the top of the same census page and previous
page, John W or N Beck (11) is living with the Weaver family.The 1850 census for the same location lists:
Sarah Criswell (61)
Arena Dupriest (29)
Iverson R. Dupriest (7)
Sarah M (5)
John R. (2)
I had come across
a newspaper article about the death of Iverson Dupree from a train accident
in 1869 and I wondered if the Ivison Beck had been related to this Iverson.
It would seem possible that Sarah married a Beck and then died so that
the Beck children were raised by relatives, or some similar senario.
I had the good forturne
while in McIntyre, Wilkinson County, to find Milton Criswell, a descendant
of Lawson Criswell and Sarah Temples Criswell. He was able to tell
me some family history and show me the graves of many Criswells at Mount
Carmel Cemetery. He also has restored an original family log cabin
from 1800. He is remarkable!
My mysteries are:
Where is the father (John?) of Irena Dupriest's
children, both in 1850 and 1860.
I can find a Green Dupriest (26) of similar
age to Irena. Is he her brother? Her husband? Why is she continuing
to have his children if he is not with the family?
Is Sarah Criswell, (I mean the likely mother
of Lawson Criswell, not his wife Sarah Temples) the mother of Irena Dupriest,
making her Lawson Criswell's brother?
What is the relationship between the Dupriests
and the Becks? What happened to the parents of Ivison Beck, Gertrude
Beck and John Beck that they are being raised in homes of others?
If you can help me with any of this, I will
appreciate your information.

ETHRIDGE, JOHN-
Does
anyone know about the Ethridge and Phillips families in this news article
? "July 7, 1885 The Union-Recorder (Milledgeville) Married on July 3, by
W.H. Stembridge, Esq. N.P., at the residence of the bride's sister, MRS.
JOHN ETHRIDGE, Mr. CHARLES BABB to Miss JANE PHILLIPS, all of this

ETHRIDE/ETHERIDGE - Samuel Ethride
(Etheridge, etc.), my gr gr gr grandfather, came to Wilkinson County via
Early County, Georgia from North Carolina. He appeared on the 1840 census.
He had married Lucinda Grantham prior to leaving Early County and coming
to Wilkinson. By the 1850 census Lucinda had died, Samuel was living in
Decatur County, GA with new wife Sarah Ducker Goodwin. I am looking for
information about Samuel while he was in Wilkinson County, siblings, other
family members, etc. Ellen

EVANS, FREEMAN J. - I need info on
Freeman J. Evans. He was the son of Martha J. Dixon Evans and John

married John Brown and they lived in Laurens County Ga. Audrey

FAIR -William H. Fair, wife Thiraza
(have also seen her name as Mathursa and Thrussey), plus three sons (Samuel
J. B. Fair, Thomas J. Fair, and unknown male under the age of 5 were listed
in the 1840 census in Wilkinson County, Georgia. William H. Fair
was born in South Carolina; his wife and children were all born in Georgia.
From other census information, it appears that S. J. B. Fair was probably
born in 1832 while younger brother Thomas J. Fair was probably born in
1836. I have not been able to find anything before this census record
for any members of this family. Nor have I been able to find death
records for any of them. By the 1850 census, the third son (who was
probably the youngest) is no longer in their household, probably deceased.
Any ideas about where to look for possible birth or marriage records for
events regarding this family in Georgia would be greatly appreciated.
Census ages for William H. Fair and his wife Thiraza vary greatly.
Most likely they were born between early 1800 and probably before 1815.
Thank you for any clues! Libby

FRAZIER: I'm looking
for any information on William Frazier who can be
found on the 1840 Wilkinson County Census. I believe he may be the
father of Thomas and John Frazier, who are also listed on the 1840 Wilkinson

by 1850 and then to Covington County, Alabama by 1860. Thanks- James

HUGHS/HUGHES - My 3rd great
grandfather is Nicholas Whitfield Hughes. 6-19-1823. The death year indicated
is 1895 buried in Bethel Cemetery. He was married to Elizabeth Freeman
1825-1889. Also buried at Bethel.
John Thomas Hughs
was my 4th great grandfather. My records that were passed down to me indicate
that his Father was John Hughs that passed away 11/17/1843. He Married
Margaret White in 1810. I found Margaret's will a that lists her 3 sons,
Nicholas, James and Green Berry. I believe that Green Berry named one of
his son's John Thomas and that's why I'm finding 2 generations of John
Thomas.
My understanding is that William
was born in 1770 & came to the US from Ireland when he was 9. He had
a son, John Thomas in 1792. Or at least that's what I have found
online. It's very confusing.
I've run into some discrepancies
on ancestry with dates and such. The only info I can find on William Thomas
(1770) was in the Wilkinson history book. I'd really love to sort this
out but can't find enough records to determine who is who. I would
really love to get some help on this family. Thanks so much.

GAINEY -Am trying to find out
information about my great grandmother’s parents. Her name was Annie
Eliza (may be short for Elizabeth) Lavender. She was born Feb. 15,
1862 in Wilkinson county and died Nov. 6, 1922 in the hospital in Ocilla,
GA while living around Fitzgerald, GA. Her death certificate listed
her parents as Lemuel Lavender and Mary Gainey.
I believe the Lemuel
listed on the death certificate was the son of Levin Lavender (I found
something on the internet that said he died in Wilkinson county Oct. 15,
1871) and Charlotte McDaniel (site on internet had her dying in Wilkinson
county Dec. 17, 1836). An internet site has Lemuel born Sep. 5, 1825
in NC and dying while serving in the Civil War in Danville, VA on Dec.
14, 1862. It says he married a Queen Mary Magdelene Hogan on Apr.
14, 1850 in Wilkinson county. I believe he actually married Mary
M. (Magdalene ?) Hagan, whose maiden name was Mary M. Gainey. I found
on the Wilkinson county genealogy website a marriage in Wilkinson county
on Jan. 11, 1844 between Mary M. Gainey and Henry H. Hagan, Jr., Esq.
In the 1850
census, Lemuel and Mary are listed living with children named Thomas Hagan
and Delilah Hagan, ages 5 and 4, respectively, on Sept. 8, 1850.
In the same census in the same subdivision of Wilkinson county on Oct.
19, 1850, there is listed a Samuel and Mary Lavender with children Thomas
and Delilah (ages 6 and 4) at the home of a Mary Gainey. I believe
that Samuel is actually Lemuel and this is the same family as the one listed
in the census on Sept. 8, 1850, but they have either moved in with or are
visiting Mary’s mother, Mary Gainey. I found something else on the
internet that had this Mary Gainey as the widow
of Matthew Gainey.
After Lemuel died in
1862, Mary married a Howell King before 1870. He apparently died
around 1872 and she is listed with 3 of her children, including Annie,
in the 1880 census as Mary King. I can’t find anything on her after
this. Based on the census records, she should have been born around
1822.
Any help regarding her birth
date and place, death date and place, parents, and marriage date/place
to Howell King would be greatly appreciated. Craig

GARDNER: I am
looking for the parents of
Matthias Liverman Gardner (b.11
Jan 1820 (Al), d. 25 Apr 1862 Houston Co.Ga. Buried Ft Valley, Ga.)
Matthias married Sarah Murray on 16 jan 1845. Matthias
& Sarah's son, James Walton Gardner was born 4 Jan 1850 in Wilkinson
County. He is my great grandfather. My grandfather, Judge Bernard
Clay Gardner, b. 14 Feb 1882, was born in Garden Valley or Gardner Valley,
Georgia. I am at an impass locating ancestors of Matthias L. Gardner.
I also am unable to locate "Garden" or "Gardner" Valley which is said to
be somewhere near Macon, Ga.(Wilkinson, Houston, Peach Counties).
Can anyone help?
I believe the children of Matthias and Sarah
are: John Thomas Gardner (Sep 1846), Ellen Lavenia Gardner (Jul 1848),
James Walton Gardner (Jan 1851), Lewis
William Gardner (Dec 1854), Hiram Cicero Gardner (Jun 1857).
*Suggestions before which I cannot link
have been that this Gardner family came from North Carolina or either South
Carolina. South Carolina Gardners seem more positive a fit but I
can find no direct connection. Thank you! Janet

GILBERT - I’m interested in obtaining
information about the Gilbert family that lived in Wilkinson County, GA
and were slave owners. I have a copy of the 1850 Slave Owner Wilkinson
County, GA list which shows Elbert J. Gilbert owned 7 slaves and according
to the 1860 list he owned 13 slaves.
I am researching my family
history (African American) and have traced my descendants back to the 1870
Census which shows my great great great great-grandfather, Peter Gilbert
lived in Wilkinson County, GA, 2nd District (Irwinton P O) and was married
to Crisy. At the time he was 60 years old. By 1880 he was living
in Fulton County, GA with his son, George. I am assuming that he
took the name of his slave owner (Gilbert) in Wilkinson County. Kendra

GRAY
-I iam a disabled 77 year old Floridian living in Brisbane, Australia and
our family has been trying for years to find the remains of our great, great
grandfather James W. Gray (William) who I found out recently may have died
in your area. I have been for a long time compiling information on the family
to be passed on to future generational families. As such, I have a "lot"
of information on the family tree, participants in the American Civil War
and photographs.
James W. (William) Gray was born in 1823 in Wilkinson, Georgia, , moved to
McCalpin, Florida where he has a son buried by the same name and then as
far as any of the family know, he just disappeared. The James W. Gray that
I am told died in Gorman, Texas is recorded as having been married to Sara
Calhoun. Well, my great, great grandfather James W. (William) Gray married
Mary Jane Calhoun on 2 Jan.1849 & after she died he married her sister,
Sara Calhoun on 14 Dec. 1851 in Wilkinson, Georgia; so my James W. Gray and
yours may be one and the same individual. His children were Caroline Aurelia
(Carrie) 1849, Eliza I. 1853, Susan W. 1854,John William 1856, Sara A. 1858,
James G. 1860, Sally L. 1865,George Lewelyen 1867, Martha A. 1876, Elizabeth
1868 and David G 1879.
Can you provide me with any information regarding his death, family in Texas,
when he died and where he is buried? If he does not have a headstone, the
family would like to acquire one for him. If the one buried in Texas is our
ancestor, he has a “lot” of family members in Florida.
Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

GREEN - David
Green, b. 29 Aug 1801, d. 05 Dec 1893, Pinetta, Madison Co., FL
David is believed to be son of Jesse J.
Green who migrated from NC with the Culpepper family (having married a
Culpepper) to Laurens Co., GA and then to Wilkinson Co. Around 1840,
David moved to Lowndes Co., GA along with his daughter, Martha, and her
husband, Jeremiah Coleman Dixon. He subsequently moved to Madison
Co., FL where he died in 1893 and was buried in Hickory Grove Cemetery
near Pinetta, FL. The information I have concerning David's relationship
to Jesse was obtained from the book Wilkinson Co., GA Historical Records.
I would appreciate any information that substantiates this relationship
and any additional information that develops this Green lineage. Bill
Greene. 5/1/2005

HALL: I am looking for Daniel

HALL - Marshall Hall
born
around 1830-1860 and lived on the Hall plantation in Wilkinson County.
He had a brother named Mac Hall. Were there any other siblings?
Would anyone know Marshall's mother and father? He had two sons named Emmett
Hall and William Hall. He also had a daughter named Jessie. Please
contact me at gpreese@nlamerica.com
HALL: African-AmericanFed
Hall, b 1850, d 1936, was born in Wilkinson County, Georgia
and had at least one brother residing in Wilkinson County @ 1930.
Fed moved to Baldwin County, Georgia @ 1880 and married Jane (?Ship?).
Fed Hall is my great grandfather. His children were James, John,
Virginia, Roxie and Frank. I am trying to identify Fed's parents
through his brother. Fed's brother and/or children and in-laws are
reported to have been retailers and funeral home directors in Toomsboro.
If anyone knows any of these people, please e-mail me at M.
Adolphus or by telephone 478-552-5230. Any information
would be appreciated. 10/16/2006
HALL/FAIRCLOTH: When I was reading
the history of Wilkinson County, I saw that ISSAC HALL
was mentioned as one of the "founders"/early settlers of the county. Does
anyone know what his wife's name was - first and maiden and who her
parents were and what their children's names were - he may be the father
of my long lost relative Nancy HALL Faircloth. When
she was born on November 9, 1804, it was Wilkinson County - by the time
she married Frederick Faircloth on Nov. 30, 1823, it was Laurens County.
All these county boundary lines changed so much back then that it is difficult
to know where to look for these ancestors. Can anyone help?

HAWTHORN, JOHN - I'm looking for
information regarding John Hawthorn (alternately spelled Hawthorne, Hathorn,
Hathorne). He was born around 1792 in Duplin County, North Carolina where
he seems to have resided until he was about 30. He is listed as a musician
on the muster roll for the Duplin Co militia in the Revolutionary War.
However, by the mid 1790's he is in Warren County Georgia where he owned
100 acres on Rocky Comfort Creek Captain Slatter's District (ref. Warren
County Tax Digest, 1794 Source: Ga State Archives, Drawer 61, Box 51),
I have a 1799 land record of him in Wilkinson and then he appeared in Twiggs
by 1811. Unfortunately most of my records of him are land and lottery records
except that he is listed as one of your first grand jurors in 1811 on your
website. He is also listed as the guardian of my ggg grandfather James
E Hathorn on the 1818 Twiggs County Tax Digest. In 1820, John sold his
land in Twiggs, 202 1/2 ac, Lot 92, 27th dist to Randal Bennett and moved
to Butler County, Alabama. He is listed in the 1830 Butler Co Alabama census
next to James Hathorn (for whom he was mentioned before as guardian.) However
on 25 January 1836, John was back in Twiggs where he gave a deposition
claiming his pension for service in the Revolution. He claimed that he
and his wife (whom he unfortunately does not name) were visiting relatives
in Twiggs (he unfortunately does not name the relatives either) when his
wife passed away. He says that he no longer wishes to return to Alabama
but that he is "old, infirm and indigent" which is the only reason that
he is now asking for a pension to support himself. His pension was denied
that same year. I have no record of his death or his burial, nor do I know
his wife's name. I would be so grateful for any information that anyone
could provide.
People have emailed me in the
past and suggested a connection with the Powell family, also originally
from Duplin Co, North Carolina and later of Twiggs, Ga. I have yet to find
any documentation of the connection but John Powell's son is named John
Hawthorne Powell so perhaps there is a relationship. My relative, John
Hawthorn, also lived next to a King family on Rocky Comfort Creek in Warren
Co, I do not know if they are the same as your Twiggs Co Kings but I have
considered that as a possible relation by marriage. Other neighbors on
Rocky Comfort were Jones and Fulsom.
Thanks for reading my lengthy
email. I just thought that the more information that I could provide, the
better. As I said above, I would be so very grateful for any information
that anyone could provide or even a push in the right direction. Again,
thank you for your time. Stacye
Hathorn 10/2/13

HAYWOOD/STUART- I am looking for
information on my paternal grandfather. His 1st name is either James or
John. I have never met him and my parents were divorced when I was a baby.
The story I have been told was that he was part of a Chaing Gang in Georgia
and was a Haywood at that time. When he was "released", he legally changed
his surname to "Stuart". I don't know when he was in the chang gang but
it was prior to 1947 since that is when my father was born, as a "Stuart".
My grandfather married an Elizabeth Pahl but I don't know if that was in
Georgia or not. Still researching. Any help would be appreciated. Thank
you so much.

INGRAHAM/INGRAM - I am looking for
connections between my ancestors who were born in Georgia (I think Early
County) in the late 1790’s..early 1800’s. In the last several
of years, I have had my DNA analysis done and was almost an exact 37 marker
match with an African American (I am Caucasian) whose family came out of
Wilkinson County named Kenneth Ingram. I know that in those days of slave
ownership, it was not uncommon for slave holders to father children by
female slaves. I also know that freed slaves more often than not assumed
their former holder’s surnames. What I am trying to find is a connection
to my SW Georgia Ingraham/Ingram line. There were 4 brothers that I am
aware of John S. Ingraham, b. 1797, William Ingraham, b. 1798, Hugh Ingraham,
b. abt 1803 and Jackson Henry Ingraham, Sr., b. 1807. I do NOT know their
father’s or mother’s names, but feel there is a connection in Wilkinson
County based on the DNA match AND the statement that they came out of Wilkinson
County. Any information, suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

JACKSON - Joseph Etheridge Jackson
1832-1901, m. Sarah Jenkins, s/o Joseph Absolum "App" Jackson d before
1860 & Sarah Etheridge. I have seen genealogies that state that
Joseph Absolum Jackson was the s/o Benjamin Carter Jackson but without
proof given. There was a Benjamin Jackson of Washington County who
received Lot 205 in Wilkinson County in
the 1805 land lottery. I am trying
to confirm or document this,assuming it is correct. There were two
Absolum Jacksons in Wilkinson Co., at the same time. My Absolum is
NOT the s/o Wm Jackson. Carol.10/31/2007
JACKSON, WILLIAM - I have hit
a brick wall searching for enough information to go back to England for
William Jackson. Here is what I know about him. He was born
in England, probably in the 1750s and he served as a patriot in the Revolutionary
War. After the war (don't know when), he settled in Wilkinson County,
where he died around 1833 or 1834. I know that his will was probated
in Wilkinson County in March of 1834. He was married to a Mary (or
Mary Elizabeth), but I have not been able to find out her maiden name,
which is a problem when you are trying to go back in the tree. I
believe William and Mary had 4 children named: Nathan, I don't have
a birth year (who married Elizabeth (Polly) Rogers; Absalom, born
in 1801 and married Elizabeth Smylis; Elizabeth (may have been born in
1794) and married Archibald Odom; and Susie, who died unmarried.
I would appreciate any information that you can come up with for William.
I just can't trace the right tree back in England without more information,
preferably birth information or wife's maiden name. Also, I'd
appreciate any corrections to the information that I have. Thank
you in advance for your help. Sincerely, Donna
Jackson. 1/19/2009

deaths. Does any one know who his parents are? Thanks

CADER KEATON-TAPPENA DENNARD. I am looking
for information on these two people who where married in Wilkinson County
(I think). Cader is listed as having his name submitted for the Land
Lottery drawing of 1805. In the 1806 Land Lottery, the orphans of
Cader
Keaton drew lot # 98, 12th district, Wilkinson County. 1860 Federal
Census of Mitchell County, where they moved, shows Cader, age 57, born
1803 in Washington County; and Tappena, age 50, born 1808-1810 in Wilkinson
County. Their first child, James Madison Keaton, my
great grandfather, was born in April 1845. The Cader of the Land Lottery
and the Cader born in 1803 must not be the same person but maybe they are
related. I am at a brick wall. I will appreciate your help.

KNOWLES/NOLES: Robert
R and Janey Knowles/Noles are my paternal great-grandparents. (Not sure
of exact birth years, but around 1850 + or - 5 yrs.) I found
them listed on a Telfair County Georgia United States Census in 1910 and
on the Dodge County Georgia United States Census in 1900. I
believe Jane Noles maiden name was Sarah Jane Welding or Weldon.
In Book C of Cool Spring Primitive Baptist Church Minutes (located in Twiggs
Co), I found: 2 May 1885 Robert Noles By Letter. and 4 September 1886 Sarah
Jane Noles By Experience. I did find a Robert Noles age 30
and Jane Noles age 30 listed as husband and wife on the 1880 Wilkinson
County Georgia United States Census. That is as far as I have been
able to go with either Robert or Sarah Jane (Welding/Weldon) Noles/Knowles.

LESLIE- I descend from James
Love Leslie who was born in 1808 in Georgia. He had migrated to Leake
Co., Ms. by 1850. His wife was Martha Ann Seals. I have located
a Jas. Leslie on the Wilkinson Co., Ga. census. He lives next

My James Love Leslie's children
were named many of the same names in the Silas Leslie family. James
Love Leslie's children were John Love, Martha E.,James Niblack, Joseph
A., Sibby Ann Easter, Rebecca, William, and Susan Bethany.
Silas and Bethany's children
were Rebecca, Sarah, Kizzie,Silas, Sibbie, Rachael, Bethany, and Joel.
Also Bethany Tyson Leslie's
sister Divine Tyson was married to William Niblack and the Niblack name
is given to children in both families.
I feel certain that my James

MANDERSON, JOHN HUME -
I'm looking for any information as to the identity of the 'common law'
wife of John Hume Manderson. She was still alive in the 1820 Wilkinson
County Georgia census, but that census did not provide names of household
members. My only clue is that their daughter Joana Manderson named
her first daughter Onacota Arreny Magdalona Sanford. None of those
names appear in the family anywhere else. John Hume died ~1826 and
was supposedly buried somewhere along the Savannah River, probably next
to his brother George. He died a relatively wealthy man, with quite
a few children. I'm hoping that someone might remember a family story
about her. John Hume migrated from the Cheraw district of South Carolina
around 1790, so she probably came with him from there. Thanks in advance,
! Kathryn Cole

they were living their together when he died or she moved back from another
county such as Dodge/Pulaski. Charlotte

Artist by trade and I am trying to locate any pictures of he and his family,
especially his daughter Martha. She died, and several of her children,
as a young mother as a result of the "fever", or so I've been told.

McIntyre, Ga. Any help on information or these pictures would be
extremely appreciated. He was listed on the 1869 and 1870 census
as "an Ambrotype Artist and as a "Photograph Artist" so I can't believe
a there are no pictures around. Since he would have been my great-great-grandfather,
I would love to have, or see, some of his work. Thanks, Elaine

Mary Beck. Their daughter Charlotte Temples ( b 1839) is listed on
the 1850 Wilkinson County Census along with her father James, sister Martha,
and brother James Jr.
Charlotte
is my G-G Grandmother and she married Edward (or Edmond) Mcquaig (or McQuauge),
who was born in 1832. Charlotte and Edward can be found on the
Calhoun County, AL 1860 Census with a 4 yr old daughter, Amanda. Also living
with them was Sara Maree, 20 yrs old, and Georgia Maree, 1 yr old.
I know
that Edmond McQuage died in 1863 in Vicksburg, MS due to pneumonia.

MACKEY, WILLIAM – Father of Hopie Mackey and son
of an older William Mackey, supposedly an Indian trader at “old Oconee
Town.”. The volume of controversy over this person on the web is
phenomenal, proof of how many people trace their roots back to the senior
William Mackey of Wilkinson County. If anyone ever finds definitive
proof (other than the scrawling on the will and Otto Etheridge’s deathbed
claims) that William Mackey, Indian Trader was of the Georgia Mackays/Mackeys
and not the Virigina Mackeys, and that Hopie Mackey (wife of Meret Etheridge)
was the daughter or grand daughter of a “Creek Indian Princess” and not
Rebecca Marks of Virginia – or that they are one in the same -- please

SANDERS, Merritt Arthur Our
Brick Wall is Merritt Arthur Sanders/Saunders who married Sarah
"Sally" E. Fountain in Wilkinson County, Ga. on Jan. 1, 1842.
She was born on April 4, 1824 in either Jefferson or Wilkinson County,
Ga. and grew up in the latter. He was born in Georgia (where?) in
1820, and was living in Lowndes County in 1850. He had sons Samuel
G., born l844, Daniel, and Jesse. His daughters were Frances and
Elizabeth. He died about 1856--and was supposed to have "gone back
to his old home" where he came from prior to moving to Lowndes County to
die. No one ever knew where he died or was buried. He supposedly
was related to a Logan Saunders/Sanders, born in S.C. about 1800.
Logan was not his father as far as we know, because there is no record
of him having a wife or children before 1828, when he married Eleanor Shaw
in Decatur County, Ga. Our Sanderses supposedly came to Lowndes County
about 1833. They lived near Masse, Ga., in the part that later became
Berrien County, and in Milltown, which became Lakeland, Ga. Sally
Fountain was the daughter of Ethelred Fountain, and niece of Israel Fountain,
both of whom lived in Wilkinson County. NOW--who is Merritt Arthur's
family? Which Sanderses? There was also a Daniel A. and Samuel
B. Saunders, a generation older than Merritt Arthur, in the Berrien County
records, both from Wilkinson County. Did they live near Limesink
Church near the western Wilkinson County line? Is one of them possibly
the father? Merritt went by the name "Arthur", and that name is still
in the family. Can anyone help with these dead ends? Where
did the Wilkinson County Sanderses come from prior to living in Wilkinson
County? Sandra Sanders

SAPP - My great grandfather was William
Robert Sapp who was married to Ebbie Pritchett Purdue and had 3 children,
including my grandfather, Robert Philip Sapp, born 1885. William
Robert died about 1894 after a hunting trip on which he was soaked from
dew from lying on the ground. Pneumonia seems to have been the culprit.
Ebbie went on to marry Thomas Akins. I don't know who the family
of William Robert Sapp is. I am up against a brick wall on him.
If anyone has any information, I would love to hear from you. Paula

SCARBOROUGH: Looking for information
that will help to prove that Silas D.P. Scarborough was the son of Ichabod
Scarborough and Sarah Warren. Ichabod was living in Wilkinson County shortly
after the 1805 land lottery. On 21 July 1810 Ichabod Scarborough
was appointed Justice of the Peace in Wilkinson County, Georgia. The 1820
census for Wilkinson County, Georgia P360 shows Ichabud Scarborough with
wife and children.

Simmons:
My GG Grandfather Henry W. Simmons was born July 12, 1858, according to his
tombstone, in Georgia. He died May 22, 1917 in Okeechobee, Florida
and is buried at Antioch Baptist Church Cemetery in LaCrosse, Florida.
He had a brother John F. Simmons who according to the 1930 census was born
in C.1851 in Georgia. Per census information both parents were also
born in Georgia. John was in Florida at that time living with my G
Grandfather. So I know he died after 1930 but not sure when.
He was married when he was 19. My brick wall is where these two brothers
are from in Georgia and any other relatives for them. The 1930 census
did indicate that John was a widower.
I found a possible family for John in the 1900 census
he was b. Oct 1848, wife Ann b.Apr 1855, Daughter Francis b.Aug 1884, Sons
Isaac b. Sept 1886 and William b. Sept 1899. Not sure if this is my
John F. or not. But possibly.
I know that Henry married my GGGrandmother Rebecca "Becky Ann"
Moore Nov 12, 1879, I have their marriage license, in Alachua, County Florida.
The first census I find Henry in Florida is 1880.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been working
on this for over 20 yrs.. and just can't seem to get past this wall.
I can be contacted at nolebabe2@yahoo.com. Thanks and happy hunting!!!! Terri 9/16/2016
SIMMONS, LACY J.: Between the years
of 1830 & 1840 I have lost track of my 3X Great Grandfather Lacy J.
Simmons & his wife. He was born <1810> Wilkinson Co., Georgia. His
father was John F. Simmons b. Halifax Co., N.C. Lacy is believed to have
married circa 1830 to an unknown Native Am Woman, They had four children
between 1830 -1840. She died in 1840 in Dooley Co., Ga giving birth to
my gg grandfather James C. Simmons. I am seeking evidence of where they
married & her name. Their children were: John M. Simmons b. <1831>,
Susan Lucinda Simmons b. 1832 m. 1. Richard Thomas Doke & 2. John Elmer
Matthews, Anna Clifford Simmons b. bet. 1833-39 m. George E. Wills, and
of course my gg grandfather James Clayborne Simmons b. 2 Mar 1840 Dooley
Co., Ga. Except for Susan Lucinda & J.C. exact yr of birth is not known
for the other children. John M. is on the census of 1840 in Dooley Co.,
but not on the 1850 census of Thomas Co, Ga where J.C. is living with his
wife, Nancy Milton Simmons m. 1841 Thomas Co., Ga. as a matter of
fact the only child from the first marriage living with them is my gg grandfather,
J.C. We find the daughters later in life in Florida (which is where Lacy
J. eventually moved). When Lacy died in the early 1890's his will includes
his son, John but he does not know his residence, therefore John lived
to adulthood.
So my brick walls are my 3X great grandmother,
whose name or tribe I do not know, and my great uncle John M. who disappeared
off the census after 1840, I also would love to know where they were married.
I suspect in Wilkinson Co., can anyone help me? Thanks, Lillian

SIMPSON - My ggg-grandfather'sname
was Alfred Simpson. He was born in 1818 somewhere in Georgia.
According to a census, his parents were born in SC. His father-in-law,
born in S. C., was Isaiah Langley. In 1840 Alfred married Mary
Langley in Talbot Co. However, I did not see him on the Talbot co. 1840.
I noticed on the website of the church that there was a large number of
Simpsons listed but later that Alfred. By 1850, he had moved to Alabama.
Mary is buried in Seale, AL, dying just after having her 12th child. After
the civil war Alfred took his family and moved to Louisiana. I am
trying to make a connection with the Simpsons who were on the Baptist church
rolls. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Email

SMITH - I’m looking for information on the
family of Elizabeth (Hancock) & Lewis Smith. His name
is alternately spelled Louis. The couple, both born in GA, married
in Wilkinson Co, GA on 19 May 1825 and were still in that county for the
1830 & 1840 censuses. They pop up in 1850 living in Milledgeville
along with their recently married son, John H Smith (living with his in-laws,
the Gann family, whose surname was misspelled as Gun). By
1852, all of the family had moved to Texas.
Update: Eliza & Mary have
both been found! Eliza Smith, born 18 Mar 1826, married Charles
Meredith (alternates Meridith, Merideth, Meredeth) on 07 Jan 1845 in
Wilkinson Co, GA and died in May 1892 in Bastrop Co, TX. Mary A.

James Robinson (misspelled as Roberson
in county marriage records) on 09 Jan 1854 in Bastrop Co, TX and died 14
Nov 1895 in Bastrop Co, TX. I’m looking for any descendants of Lewis
& Elizabeth’s family, and am also very interested in their parentage.
I would like to correspond with any Smith or Hancock researchers looking
in Georgia to possibly narrow down family possibilities. Thanks!

WEEKS- PARKER-BUTLER -
I was able to trace my family to Bloodworth District, Wilkinson County
Gordon Georgia area back to around 1824. The race is predominately
black. The family names are Weeks, Butler, and
Parker.
My Great Grandfather
James Weeks (b.abt 1884) - married Della (Parker) Weeks (b.
in Georgia abt 1886) had a daughter My grandmother Corine Weeks (b.
in Georgia 1916)
Della's parents are Martha
Parker (b. abt 1864) and Joe Parker (b. abt 1875) However,
Martha was raped by a Cherokee Indian whose name sounds like
Quanna Pakka. this might have happened in the either Georgia, North
or South Carolina. So my great grandmother Della is one half Cherokee
Indian.
James Weeks' father
was Robert Weeks (b. in Maryland abt 1860) who maried
his mother Georgiana Weeks (b in Georgia.abt 1863)
Robert Weeks father was
Joseph Weeks (b in Georgia. abt. 1824) and his
mother was named Notice Weeks (b in Georgia abt.1831)
My Grandfather was Robert Butler (b. in Georgia
abt 1909) - (Gordon, Wilkinson GA) I don't know if he is dead
or alive but he lived somewhere in the Wilkinson, Gordon, Georgia
area. His mother is Kate Butler (b.in Georgia abt 1880)
His mother Kate listed herself as a widow in one of the census' but I don't
know who her husband was.
This is all the information I am
able to find about my family. I would like to know if my relatives
were slaves and if so who owned them? Or if Joseph Weeks migrated
to the United States if so from where? T.

WILLIAMS
- I am looking for my great grandfather's parents (mother) of Texas Williams,
1872 - Talbot County, Georgia. He lived in: Wilkerson, Rough Edge,
Oglethorpe & Wilkes. He died in 1951, in Oglethorpe The family
story is that they were owned by a slave owner named Wil (William ?) Dunn
and were sold to a slave owner with the surname of Williams. This is supposed
to have occurred in Georgia (Talbot County ?). His mother (name unknown)
was probably born in slavery. Texas biological father may have been a local
man. Texas was a mulatto.
I've checked the 1880 - 1900's census looking for a women with the last name
of Williams and a 9 or 19 year son named Texas. I've looked at Slaves Schedules
but without a name, it is a needle in a hay stack. I will continue with my
search in the 1880 - 1890 census. I don't have access to bill of sales or
wills. Any help will greatly appreciated. Eddie B. McCoy 11/26/2016
WILLIAMS
- My brick wall is my g-g-grandfather.
My granddaddy told me his name was Joe or Joel Williams. I would like to
know if John Jesse Williams, who at one time lived in Wilkinson County,
was a sibling/relative of Joe.
What I do know
from family stories is that Joe's parents were Martha and John Williams.
I don’t know when John Williams, his father died, and I don't know exactly
when Joe Williams died, but it was sometime during 1900-1910.
My granddaddy also
told me that Joe married Fannie Grimsley, daughter of Sherwood and Elizabeth
(Howell) Grimsley of Twiggs County. The only census record I can definitely
identify as belonging to Joe Williams is the 1900 Montgomery County census.
He is listed as Joseph S, with Fannie as his wife, with his mother who
is listed as Martha Busby (married and widowed again?), and with four children.
Another daughter, Barbara Allen “Bobbie”, was already married at that time
and not listed with them.
My g-grandfather
is on the 1900 Montgomery census as Dudley Williams. (Later in life, he
was known as Dud Lee and D.L. On his first marriage license, he is listed
as Dudley A. Williams.)
The birthdate for
Fannie on the 1900 Montgomery census is way off and listed as 1838 (I have
quite a few records for Fannie—her birthdate being listed as 1851-1855
in various documents). We found her grave (1855-1935) last summer
at Center Methodist Church, so birthdates for Joe and Martha may be off
on the 1900 Montgomery census. The children’s birthdates were right or
about right.
John Jesse Williams was
first married to Georgia Ann Busby (Collins Cherry). In 1880, John Jesse
was living in Wilkinson County with Georgia Ann and their family. The 1880
Wilkinson census is confusing in that it lists a Martha Williams as the
mother of the head of the house, but then in a column notation says she
is living with her daughter. On the death certificate of John Jesse
Williams, his mother was listed as Martha Cowart (I am wondering if Martha
was related to Elias and Sarah Cowart of Wilkinson County.) from Wilkinson
County and his father as John J. Williams from Georgia. John Jesse (after
he and Georgia Ann divorced) and his second family were living right next
door to Joe Williams’ widow, Fannie Williams, in 1910.
Any information or guidance
that anyone could offer me would be very much appreciated. Thank
you. Jennifer Colton 08/15/2011
WILLIAMS/KNIGHT - Looking
for information on my Great grandmother's family. Her name was Ada Williams
born in Wilkerson county on Oct. 27, 1874. She married Ira Knight, son
of James and Jane (Butler) Knight, on Jan 5, 1893 also in Wilkerson county.
Her and Ira moved to Coffee county Georgia some time between 1900 and 1917.
I have her parents as J.D. Williams and Mary Ann Myrick (Davidson History
of Wilkerson County). Trying to find something on her parents. Haven't
been able to find where they are buried. Not sure if they are buried in
Wilkerson or where they are buried. Also don't know anything on her siblings.

on the father of James Giles Wright (1810-1851). I believe his name

E (b1801), Jesse (b1803), and James Giles (1810-1851). Thank you!
