Seeking information about George W. Gresham of Talledega Co. He was born the son of Pleasant Gresham and Matilda McKenney and the grandson of John Gresham Sr. or Upson Co. GA. He married a woman from Upson Co. GA according to this article:
SOUTHERN MESSENGER, Covington, Newton Co., Ga. Vol. 4 No, 24 December 15, 1854 - On the evening of October 5th., by Elder S. Durham. Mr. George W. Gresham, of Talladega Co. to Miss S. J. McKenney, daughter of Mrs. Rebecca McKenney of Upson Co., Ga.

Sarah Jane McKenney was the daughter of William McKenney and Rebecca Hunt.
George W. Gresham and SJMcKenney had a daughter named Susam Emma Gresham, born 22-Dec-1855 in Meriwether Co., Ga.; died 20-March-1937 in Taylor Co., Ga.. She married Thomas B. Theus.
Here's another article on these subjects:
THE BUTLER HERALD, Taylor Co., Ga. January 19, 1909 "Mrs. T. B. Theus and daughter, Mrs. T. L. Barfield visited her brother, Mr. Gresham of Howard. Mrs. T. B. Theus was Susan Emma Gresham daughter of George W. Gresham and his first wife, Sarah Jane McKenney. Mr. Gresham of Howard was Jefferson D. Gresham son of George W. Gresham and his second wife Sarah Frances Snelson. Sarah Frances Snelson was daughter of John Snelson and Polly Reeves. John Snelson married George Gresham's mother, Matilda McKenney Gresham widow of Pleasant Gresham. Matilda McKenney Gresham and Sarah Jane McKenney were 1st cousins once removed and Matilda was her mother-in-law."

George W. Gresham may be related to my paternal Gresham/Grisham ancestors: Martha Eugenia "Jennie" Grisham (Gresham?) Scroggins. Jennie was the daughter of William C. Gresham and Emily E. (Elizabeth?) Farley, daughter of James Farley and Martha Walls of Chambers Co., AL. Jennie was born 26Feb1872 in Chambers Co. AL and died 15Jan1961 in AL. She married Henry Lon Scroggins.
