| BOZEMAN - Sallie Bozeman is my second
great Grandmother. Apparently she was was born in 1854 in Dooly County,
Georgia. She married Elbert Frazier 16 Nov 1873. Her children
were Herbert, Jordan, Charlie and Alice Frazier. Alice Frazier was
my great grandma. Unfortunately, ancestry.com does not have
any records on the names of Sallie Bozeman's parents. Also, I would
love to find out who was shipped from Africa here. And what part
of Africa and what tribe were they from.

GLOVER, Robert (Bob) - Looking for information on the parents of Robert (Bob) Glover who was born in Twiggs County, GA, about 1881. He married Allie Hoge in 1903 and is shown in Shady Grove, Twiggs, on the 1910/1920/1930 with his wife and children. Have not been able to locate him in the 1900 or 1940 census, although it is believed he died in Twiggs County in 1957. This is an African American family. Any help you might give me would be greatly appreciated. Robert Glover is the great-grandfather of my friend Jessica Glover. I am helping he with her family history. Thank you so much. LouAnn Blakely 6/01/2014 KING: I am looking for any record or information of the free black family of Kings. On May 14, 1868, 37 family members headed by Alfred King and Seaborn Ashley left GA by way of Savannah for Bexley, Liberia under the auspices of the American Colonization Society. Alfred was about 60 years old when they departed. The family did share cropping in 1867 on a plantation in Marion during reconstruction but no info on which plantation they worked on. I am trying to connect the dots and need assistance. Seaborn Ashley was a blacksmith. Please see emigrant list. http://books.google.com/books?as_brr=1&id=ZDUfaNo7HOgC&vid=LCCN05039691&dq=eufaula+alabama&jtp=177#v=onepage&q=eufaula%20alabama&f=false Thanks, Alfred D. King, GGG grandson of Alfred King. Email. 9/10/2013 |
