Janice 8/21/2004 ADAMS, Emma Lee- I am looking for information about my grandmother, Emma Lee Adams (Williamson, married name). Emma was born in Jasper County in 1870 and died in Jones county. She had inherited land in Jones County which was in her name when she died. I do not find many Adams names in Jones or Jasper County, and I found no wills pertaining to her in Jones. I understand that Jones and Jasper counties were created from Hancock. The only census record I have seen was in Bibb County. She died in 1906 and is buried in Jones County. Thanks Louise. lhendrix35@peoplepc.com 10/20/16 ADAMS, Walter - I’m searching for information on my maternal great grandparents, Walter and Eliza Adams. Their daughter, Carrie, was my grandmother.

ATKINSON - My distant grandfather, Agrippa Atkinson, was born (we think) in Hancock Co., GA around 1777. He married Martha Patsey Grace around 1797 in Hancock Co., GA. Martha's parents were Thomas Grace (1750 to Nov 1806 Hancock Co., GA) and Sarah Maddox (1756 - aft 1806 GA). Sarah's father was Samuel Maddox. Agrippa was a Justice of the Peace. I am looking for information on Agrippa's parents and siblings. Thank you a head of time. Sherry Clark 7/2/2006 ATKINSON - I too am searching for information regarding Agrippa Atkinson, my gggggrandfather. His birth is a real mystery. It is thought by many that he was born between 1770 and 1777 in GA, but I am wondering where that estimate comes from. He could have been born before that. Also, the names of his parents and siblings would be good to know about. So much is known about his later life, it is surprising that his early life is such a mystery. Linda Scott 3/18/2008 AVERETT.

Contact R Smith 06/18/2011 CONNEL, DANIEL - Daniel Connel was a Revolutionary War Soldier, Justice of Peace in Jefferson Co., Louisville, GA. He died in Wrens, GA where it is believed he lived. It is also believed that he along with other members of his family and wives are buried in the Connell Field in Wrens, GA by the Strawberry Patch of this day. But his name isn't listed on the stone nor his wife. He had a son named Thomas in the year of 1787 in Richmond Co., Augusta, GA. There is a possibility that Daniel was married once before Polly Smith but not proven. Records show that Daniel married Polly in Warren Co., GA Jul 2, 1802. So as you can see years conflict and it's uncertain about Thomas' Mother.

MarriedLouise Elizabeth Hooks, born Aug 20 1914, died Dec 4 1975. 2/6/2006 Marianne JONES - Looking for any information on my grand mother,Annie Lee Jones, or her family. Annie Lee died shortly after giving birth to my mother who was her fourth daughter around 1914 in Sparta, Ga. Her other daughters, Ed, Annie, and Molly, reportedly moved to Chicago with their father leaving my mother behind. Mom was raised by her Aunt Mattie and her Uncle Theodore Stanton in Sparta and lived there until she moved to Cleveland with her husband in the 1940's. VMH Cleveland, Ohio 8/17/2005 JONES - My ancestor is John A. Jones who married a Martha (Mitchell possibly) in Hancock County, in 1845 ca. I have a possible marriage license, but there were several John Jones in Hancock in 1840 census. Their oldest son was Solomon Harrison Jones born in Hancock County, January 31,1846. By 1850 census the family may have moved to Alabama, as there is no record of them in Hancock. Three children were born in AL, in 1852,'56,'57, and all the later ones in GA. By 1870, the family moved to Panola County,TX. I can trace them with land and deed records in TX, but have no records in GA or AL. Any ideas as to where to look in AL would be a help. Were there any particular migration patterns? Lolene 12/30/2005 JONES -TUCKER - Looking for parents of Thomas Jones and wife Eliza P. Tucker who lived in Hancock the early 1800.

The last public record I can find for him and his family in Georgia is Captain John Moffett, a district captain, in 1811 and 1812.

John Moffett was in Mississippi (Perry County) by 1818, and I am sure he was there before that but need proof. He founded Tallahalla Baptist church in Perry County in 1818, and had a daughter born in March 1818 in Perry County. Older children were born in Georgia. The Moffett children married into the Ellis family, probably in Hancock County GA and also in Perry County MS.
