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.

BALDWIN - Still looking for
the parents of Nancy Wiley Baldwin, born 1831. She was born in Georgia
(some say S or N, Carolina) but most say Milledgeville, GA. I've
already researched her last name. I want to make certain my records
search has been correct. She married in 1849, James E. Cearley (Kearley),
had two children, then left for Texas by 1853. They settled in an area
north of Austin, Texas and had many more children. Just need to verify
which of the Baldwin men was her father. He perhaps would have been born
around 1800. I'm looking for her mother also. Linda

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,

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
Joyce in Ky.
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

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

HATFIELD - Would appreciate
any information from the Hatfield family in regards to the location of
Hatfield Hill in Wilkinson County, Georgia. It was the location of my Gr.
Grandfather Elder David Smith's home he was a Primitive Baptist Minister.

L. Smith. 11/18/2009
HICKS - I am looking for information
pertaining to John H. (Hodge) Hicks, who was living in Wilkinson County
by 1850, but is believed to have lived in Baldwin County before that time
(based on 1820, 1830 and 1840 censuses). He enlisted at Milledgeville for
military service in the militia for the War of 1812. Of particular
interest is any information pertaining to his birthplace (listed as North
Carolina on 1850, 1860 and 1870 censuses, but shown as Georgia on 1880
census), his siblings or his parents. He married Rebecca Smith in 1814
in Twiggs County (per information in his War of 1812 Pension file at National
Archives in Washington, D.C.). So far, I have not found any information
regarding the parents or siblings of John H. Hicks or any source identifying
his exact place of birth (e.g., county or town) that could lead to further
information. Also any information on Rebecca Smith (born about 1796), wife
of John H. Hicks, would also be of interest. Peter

HUDSON- Rebecca listed in 1850 to
1880 Census for Baldwin County, as the Aunt of Margaret L. Hudson Barnes,
Salina L. Hudson Mann, Almenia Hudson, and Martha Hudson Overman.
She is only listed once as being married.. Would like to know anything
about this family. Who was the parents of the four girls, did they take
her name or were they Hudson's also...

IVEY - Robert Ivey , son of Barna
and Elsie Davis Ivey.....noticed him on a couple of records on website,
1864 reorganizing of districts, and 1850 slaveowner, I was trying to find
out which one of the family members took care of my ancestors during slavery
and after Emancipation. It could be a Uncle , Malachi, from Bullock County,
Al. or the father Barna Ivey, who once lived in Milledgeville then on to
Barbour and Bullock Cty, Al......I haven't narrowed it down yet. But, one
of the 3 should be it, was wondering what be the next step for me to take
in finding out if they left anything behind that might of mentioned their
slaves besides age, sex,female or male........I know the records can be
different in Georgia. Would you be able to tell me what to look for next
in Georgia records. I have no contacts in Georgia. On your website it's
listed as Roberty Ivey, or R.D. Ivey (30) slaves. I have a family history
genfile on that whole Ivey family. I find some of them near my family on
1870, 1880,1900 census of Alabama in Bullock County. Anything you can tell
me to further my research would be helpful. Thanks, TrueAnn,
Kentucky, "Happy Hunting" I have been working on a family website, if that
would be helpful. ike-iveryfamily.org 9/7/2009
JOHNSON - am searching for a Martin
Johnson...have no info except family rumors say he was born in GA....he
married my gggrandmother, Mourning Trussell Johnson, sometime between 1818-1820.
Mourning died in 1837. I saw a marriage license in the Bibb
County, AL register for a Martin Johnson and a Safrona Bolins 1840.
Mourning died in Greene County, AL. There is no more info on Martin
after that date. Any help would be appreciated.
Probably Martin was born 1800 or
before. Mourning was born about 1802.
Thanks, Kathryn 1/31/2005
JOHNSON - Am searching for my birth
dad who was orig. from Baldwin County, Ga. His name is Ronnie Johnson at
the time of my birth he wa 19 yrs old and an army reserve cook he is a
black male and has 4 sisters and 2 brothers. My name is Abtausha Leigh
I was born 9-25-80 to a Roslyn Yarborough who was sent to Savannah, Ga

of WILLIAM KING JUSTICE who died in Baldwin Co. Georgia in 1972.

data on J Angus Kemp married to Triphosia or Tryphosa? Prichard of Baldwin
county Georgia. They are listed on the 1880 census of District 115,
Baldwin, Georgia. Thank you, Betty
Hansen 1/8/2006
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

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,

SHEALY - Looking for info on Mary
Jane Shealy Smith (b about 1944 or 45, died 24 November 1912). She married
David S. Smith in Washington County 22 April 1873. David and Mary Jane
were my great grandparents. I followed the Smith line quite well but stumped
on the Shealy line -- may have been from SC. I have her father as Wilson
(or William) Shealy and mother as Emily C. (no last name) but don't think
the Emily C is correct. Anyone know of them? intexa2

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!
