ALLEN - MY GGGGRANDFATHER Harris Allen was Mayor
of Milledgeville, Baldwin County, Ga. around 1817.
If anyone has information concerning his life there, would appreciate
any information anyone might like to share with me. His wife was
Cynthia Kilgore Marcus. I believe they are buried in Jones Co.. tho;
Agnes Allen Lamanac.
ALEXANDER - George Henry Alexander - born: 8 April 1848
Milledgeville GA died: 18 June 1928 Hardeman Co., TX.
From family record: “He joined Civil
War at age 14 yrs. He was never back home. He passed insite of his home
chain to a flat box car. His mother passed away during the war, and his
home was destroyed by the yanks. He had some step brothers and sisters.
But when the war was over he didn’t go back to GA. He came to Texas instead.
He never knew anything about his family. He stop spent night on his way
back to GA, happen to be some one that knew his mother he told him that
his mother was dead. So he came on to Texas instead.”
Named oldest daughter Mary Elizabeth, and second
daughter Myrtle Rebecca (Rebecca is mother of wife, so maybe Myrtle is
his mother – or Mary Elizabeth is his mother???)
Mother had to pass away in 1865, because he
joined in 1863 – I think. I also think she had remarried and was not Mrs.
Alexander at the time.
Earliest record is Dallas County Marriages Dallas
Texas, Married Mary Frances Daniel, daughter of John and Rebecca Ray Daniel,
17 Oct 1872. S. Brandon

BRAXTON, Walter Holland: Is listed on 1850 census
of Henry County, Al. as being born 1807 in SCarolina. His brother Oliver
O. Braxton, Sr. - born: 1798 in SCarolina, and Olivers wife: Darcus
Miller/Braxton - born 1810 in SCarolina. About 1829 all 3 departed
SCarolina on migration to Henry County, Al. When they stopped-over
in Baldwin County, Ga.; Walter Holland remained there.
Oliver and Darcus continued on their migration to Henry County, Al.
Walter Holland got married and lived in Baldwin County and after
child/children were born, his family migrated to Henry County, Al.
and joined Oliver and Darcus. Both familys lived in Henry County,
Al. until 1851, when both familys then further migrated into Cerrogordo,
Holmes County, Fl. While living in Henry County, Oliver owned 5 parcels
of land and 7 slaves.
Oliver is my GG-GFather and during my search, have not found information
that conflicts with the information about his being born in 1798 in SCarolina
- as indicated in the 1850 census of Henry County, Al. However,
descendents of Walter Holland have information indicating that he was born
in Ga.
MY BRICKWALL: Unable to find and verify name of the FATHER
of Walter Holland and his brother Oliver O. Braxton, Sr. Many thanks,,,,Bill
Braxton, 5088 Braxton Ln., Pace, Fl.

BUTTS - I am looking for the children of George Miles and Amanda
Louise Lanier Butts. This couple was married in Sparta around
1832. In 1850 the were in Baldwin County with 4 children, Henry,
Thomas, Emma, and Columbus. Can't find the family in 1860.
All the sons fought in the civil war for Georgia. Don't know where
they went after the war. Emma married in Coweta Co. to my great grand
father George Wolfe and came North. I have her data. Thanks

COOK - My information on William Cook comes from recolections
of my grandfather, Joseph Anderson Cook, of the family stories handed down
to him, and supporting documents.
I found a photocopy of a handwritten transcription of the William
Cook Family Bible among my mother's papers of family history. It
gives the wife as Lucy Jones and children as James E., Emerline, Emily
Hawkins, Elijah Perry, Andrew Jackson, Louisa Marion, William Henry and
Lucy Ann.
The story in my grandfather's memoirs states that the father (William)
was involved in a river accident on the Occoie (sp?) in 1827 which wiped
out the family financially and the mother died in 1834 of exhaustion from
trying to make a living and keep the family together.
A judgement was settled by a sale on the courthouse steps in Jones County.
Marriages of the children are recorded in Jones county, which match the
"Family Bible". I am hoping to find someone who has knowledge of
the original Family Bible.

HALL - For a couple of years, I have been researching the life
and activities of William Perot Hall, born in Cuba in 1825, died in Pendleton,
SC, 1883. Married to Susan Sloan, daughter of Benjamin Franklin Sloan
of Pendleton. William P. Hall is listed in the 1880 census in Charleston,
SC, father born in Cuba, mother born in Georgia. My brick wall is
getting information on the family origins of William P. Hall. A recent
stroke of luck has led me to the George W. Murray will, Baldwin County,
Georgia, 1836. In this will Henry T. Hall (of McIntosh Co., GA) ,
known to be a relation of William P. Hall, is listed as a friend of Mr.
Murray. Also mentioned are the children of the late William T. Hall
of the Island of Cuba. These children are named as Felicia E. B.
and William Hall. I believe that this William Hall is my William
Perot Hall, but I don't really have documents to substantiate it.
One clue of a connection is that William P. Hall had a daughter named
Felicia Oliveres Hall who married William Bachman Chisolm. I am encouraged
to believe that Felicia is a name being passed down in this Hall family.
Felicia O. H. and W. B. Chisolm are listed in the 1880 W. P. Hall household
in Charleston.
Any help appreciated. Terry Mount

HALL - My great grandfather was William Lawrence Hall who died
in Milledgeville around 1898. His father was William S. Hall, born 1835.
His father was James Madison Hall, born 1810, died 1874. They decended
from Benjamin Hall, a copy of whose will I have. He was born in 1773,
and died in Milledgeville, 23 Sep, 1843. Benjamin also had
a son named William S. born 16 Oct, 1835, and died in Macon. I can
see Benjamin in the 1820 census, but there is no other information as they
listed only head of household.
Any information on Benjamin and from whence he came would be appreciated.
I also don't know anything of the death of William Lawrence Hall (my middle
name came from him) or where he is buried. He had only two children,
both daughters. One died a spinster, and the other had only one child,
my father. Larry Jones 4/3/2005

RAYFORD/RAIFORD - I'm researching the origins of an African-American
family that was enumerated in Milledgeville, as early as the 1870s and
a few decades later. The Rayford/Raiford line, near as I can figure,
was not even recorded until the 1870 Census. Ned Rayford had been
a slave, as likely had his wife, Kate, and most of his children.
Records I have access to have not shed any further light on Ned, though,
as he was listed born in SC, and the first "sighting" of his name is the
1870 Census, when he was already over 60 years of age. His wife was
enumerated in the 1880 Census, but not Ned, so I would suspect he died
between 1870 and 1880 in the Milledgeville area.
1870 Census for Milledgeville, Baldwin Co, GA (this, for now, is merely
a solid possibility):
RAIFORD:
Ned, 62, m, B, carpenter, SC
Kate, 58, f, b, keeping house, GA
Alvin, 22, m, b, day laborer, GA
COOK, Albert, 22, m, b, day laborer, GA
COOK, Isabella, 21, f, b, GA (d/o Ned and Kate)
RAIFORD:
?Arn?, 18, m, b, GA (no idea on this name)
John, 9, m, b, GA
If anyone else is researching this family and wishing to share information,
I do have a bit of info on the descendants, but not a clue on ancestries.
Or, if someone might have an idea where I could find more information on
this family, I'd be happy to listen to their advice. Jared

ROGERS, Looking for David Rogers who lived in Baldwin
County in November 1853 according to Surry County (Virginia) Deed Book
13, p. 482. He gave his brother in Virginia power of attorney to
settle his share of their father's estate. This may be the David
Rogers who married Eliza Wright in Baldwin County on 20 April 1849.
We have a database of 5,000 descendants and spouses of the father, Micajah
Rogers (ca. 1775-1847), but David is a dead end. Any help or advice
will be greatly appreciated. Bill Fox,
Williamsburg, Virginia 5/1/2007
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. Smith, born 30 Jun 1834, married
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!
