GOSSETT 11-02-04 My 5th great-grandfather moved from South Carolina (he was born 1780 in SC) to Georgia in 1804 according to the 1804 Tax Digest. His name was JohnGossett (not to be confused with his son John W. Gossett). John Sr. lived in Madison County until at least 1844 when he married his second wife…this is a span of 40 years, yet except for the census records and a land lottery, I cannot really find much on him. He then moved to Cherokee County, GA. His son John Jr. stayed behind and died in 1855 there in Madison (it’s Jr. instead of Sr. as most people believe). His children were then sent to live with their uncle Jacob Gossett in Cherokee County. Are there any records that I could look for that would tell me where John Sr. was from in South Carolina? There were SO many Gossett’s in SC at this time, and I cannot find a line that he would fit in to. Peter J. Gossett

Looking for the location of the Collins 2 cemetery. The information on this site says the following:
“Located on the edge of Madison & Banks County on the Old Fort Lamar
Road near the Jot-Em-Down store”.
Can anyone put a GPS or street address on this location? Where is the Jot-em-down store? I located an old store at the intersection of Jot-em-down and Drake Woods, but I found no cemetery. Old Fort Lamar Rd?? Any assistance would be appreciated.. Theron Rogers.
SHAW AND WOOD(S) November 7, 2018. I am searching for information relating to Euriah Wood(s) (1837- 1915). The Wood(s) ancestors that I am researching are: Euriah (Uriah), Dilsey, and Comb(Coan), all are shown on the 1880 Census Record for Warren County, Georgia. Would very much appreciate the assistance of a genealogist in locating the names of Euriah, his sister Sarah Jane and Dilsey’s parents. Euriah’s father is assumed to have been Richmond Wood(s), however, I do not have confirmation of that. Euriah, his wife, Elizabeth, and their family lived in Penfield, Greene County, GA in 1870, Hello or Red Lick, Warren County in 1880, Beaver Dam, Oglethorpe Co. in 1900 and Athens, Mitchells Bridge and Winder Road in Clarke County Georgia in 1910. Euriah’s grave is in Barnett Church Cemetery; in 1915. Some of Euriah’s grandchildren had the surname of Shaw. They lived with Euriah in 1900. No adult Shaw members lived with them. Linton is shown as living in Grove Hill, Madison County Georgia in 1920. Would very much appreciate knowing the name of their mother and father. Dilsey had a grandson named Uriah Woods who was born in 1874. They lived in Warren County, GA in 1880. His parent’s names were Coan and Eugenia Woods. Dilsey’s grandson, Uriah died in 1967 in Sharon, Taliaferro County, Georgia. I am interested in receiving any information available about these Shaw and Wood(s) ancestors as well as the names and contact information for individuals who may be related to them or who may have known about them.
