I may be able to help some with this family of Boothe. I am also a descendant from John Boothe of this area.

Wiggins

RKMONTG342 — 2009-10-05 06:04:04Z

Looking for anybody who can help piece this family together. So far, this is what I have...

Peter wiggins and Elvina Summerall had a son named Joseph "JJ" Wiggins born March 1853 either in GA or FL.

Joseph had about 3 marriages.

1880 census, Center Village Charlton GA, shows Joseph Wiggins age 25 with Mary Wiggins age 23 and 2 children: Emma age 4 and Peter age 1. I'm not sure if this is the same Joseph I'm looking for.

Children from #1 marriage: John Wiggins born about Nov 1879. He is found in 1900 census with Joseph in Waresboro Town, Ware Co., GA

children from #2 marriage: Lucy (no further info), Vina (born abt 1883 & married Washington Wayne Waldron), Elvie "Lizzie" (born Jan 22, 1886 and married Bartow Hayes), Emma (born abt 1887, no further info) and Annie Louise (born Jul 27 1888 and married Jeptha Rice). Since there is no 1890 census, so far, I've not seen these girls listed with their father. I've pieced this together from various online postings.

children from #3 marriage: Nellie (no further info), Mollie (married Leonard F. Osteen), Bertha (no further info), James and Mylinda/Linda (married Mr. Spellman). I believe marriage #3 was to Mary Louise Vinie Adams. which took place Sep 11 1903 in Columbia Co., FL.

Joseph and Mary are found in the 1910 census living in Watertown, Columbia, FL. In 1920, they lived in Lulu, Columbia Co., FL Joseph died in Waycross, GA, and Mary died in Jacksonville, FL.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks,
Karen

I am looking for a birth date for John Demond Leonardi or (Leonardy), born in Fernandina, Florida according to his father's death certificate. He was married in Savannah Ga about 1866, so I would imagine he was born between abt 1835 and 1845. I am also looking for his parents names. Thank you.

If you have a library card, you can most likely access the notices from your home computer. You just have to go thru the library's web site near you. If you need help just ask your librarian. They can walk you thru it.

Memoirs Of Georgia-Page 494-McDuffie Co Sketches-Lists JOHN L HOLZENDORF, Merchant-Thomson, McDuffie Co Ga-was born on the Plantation of Mrs WILLIAM CASEY(Adeline King Casey), Camden County Georgia July 27-1848. He went to School in St Marys Georgia-until he was 10 years of age(This is when his Mother Ellen King Holzendorf died) and then went to live with his Grandmother(Maria Teresea Woodland King) at Kings Ferry Florida-where he remained until 1860(Maria died 1860)He then went to Thomson and went to School until 1862. In the latter part of 1864(He would be 16 years of age) he enlisted in a Company organized at Augusta Georgia-a part of the 20th Georgia Battalion, which Command was assigned to General Wade Hamptons Corps of Virginia.
While in the Service he was an active participant in every Battle in which his command was engaged--was never off duty or suffered a days sickness. AS evidence of the high appreciation in which this brave and meritorious young "Soldier Boy" was held,his commander told him that, for the fact of his youth-he would be honored by promotion-as an expression of the estimation in which he was held by his comrades, the corps presented him with a new overcoat-and an entire suit of Confederate Gray.
In 1865 he was sent to Georgia for a horse and when at Augusta was pressed into Service by General Fry and placed under the command of Kolb at Macon Georgia. From there he was sent to Montezuma, Georgia-but without arms-and the surrender occurred before he could be supplied. After that he walked from Montezuma to his home.
Engaging with his Father -he clerked with him until 1869-when he went into business for himself. He built a large and eminently prosperous business, and was one of the most successful and popular citizens of Thomson. He was a member of the Council for 3 years-and then-immediately succeding that service-was elected Mayor. So satisfactory to the people-and so beneficial to the City was his Administration-that he was credited with being the best Mayor-Thomson had ever had-and was successfully re-elected 5 times. He was an ethusiastic Mason and was exalted to the Roval Arch Degree. His Religious views tend to Universalism

I am in touch with several descendants of the JOHN ADAMS who have no doubt that he was JOHN KING...JOHN was buried on the old Hiram estate I was told...of course, LOGGERS have razed the area and seeded with pines (Mississippi) so most feel the burial site would never be found.

Columbus Georgia Enquirer June 5-1835-Page 2The Execution of THOMAS KING III took place in Camden County Georgia-Friday the 8th altime-in conformity with the Sentence of Law

He apparently suffered but little in his speedy transit from time to eternity. The Solemnity of the occasion seemed felt by all

While the exchanges of the Last Farewell between the Father and his numerous Family-rendered the scene deeply affecting

During the last days of his confinement-he was well attended by Clergy and made a full confession of his guilt and his mind seemed prepared for the awful change-which awaited him.

THOMAS KING III was hung in Camden County Georgia at the Jefferston Court House Hanging Tree in 1835.

His sons HIRAM and JOHN KING went to Clarke County Mississippi in the 1830's and lived under the surname-ADAMS.
HIRAM and his wife died there in the 1843. They had one son (Elias Thomas Adams)and JOHN KING ADAMS was his Guardian

Lists Son-in law HIRAM ADAMS died at the residence of Mr. ELIAS PHILIPS of an epidemic disease. His wife-laboring under the disease died the next day at 12 O'clock leaving a tender offspring-the last remnant of the Family.

I am interested in knowing more about the KING family.

I am researching the YOUNG lineage from SC.
I have discovered that EPSEY ANN YOUNG (Clarke Cnty,MS) born 1823 died 1853, married a JOHN Q. ADAMS (his brother was HIRAM ADAMS) Epsey and John named one of their sons after his brother: Hiram. Adams researchers believe John and Hiram Adams were actually, John King and Hiram King, sons of THOMAS KING III of Nassau County Florida.

Hope to hear from anyone re above.

ingvarania — 2008-10-24 03:42:14Z

hello there. About all I have of my grandmother is a copy of her marriage certificate, issued by the State of Florida, Nassau Country. anyone know who might take on this assignment to find out more about her and let me know?
to add, my mother, Griselda (formerly Zelda) and my Aunt, Grace - both Nee surname Morrison - the fellow that married Irene A. Rasbury on the 31st of August, 1920 are both alive but will not provide me with anything about their mother - my grandmother. Grace lives in South Carolina and her son, Carey, lives in Virginia so clearly there are very Southern roots at play, despite the fact that my Grandfather, William Hebert Morrison, was a Canadian from Toronto who had divorced a lady in Toronto, Nellie Brigand, and ran off with a Southern Belle by name of Rasbury. I do know he was some 20 years her senior and they argued terribly. I do know he was a gambler and not a good provider to the family. I have no idea what my grandmother looked like, anything about her heritage, or where she is buried - I would like to know. I don't mind hiring someone so please free feel to respind to my email address.

Is Myrtle Barber buried in Brandy Branch Cemetery???

Found - Sons of Thomas King III of Nassau County, FL

jacobin1798 — 2008-04-20 20:43:35Z

In 1835, Thomas King III of Nassau County, FL crossed the state line into Camden County, GA with his sons John King, Hiram King, George King, son-in-law William Rouse and his brother Simeon Rouse proceeding to the Casey home. It is believed they were seeking revenge for his daughter Adeline King marrying William Casey against Thomas King’s will and angry that the Caseys had supposedly untied his ferry boats at King’s Ferry enabling them to float down the river towards the Atlantic Ocean. Several members of the Casey family were killed along with at least one other person and several other people were wounded.

Thomas King III was caught, tried, and executed. All the others escaped and fled. For years, various researchers have tried to find the King sons who fled. Recently, another researcher and I have concluded that John and Hiram King fled to Jasper County, Mississippi and changed their last name to Adams. Hiram Adams died in the early 1840’s, while John King, alias Adams moved to Clarke County, MS and lived until the 1870’s. John had a large family including 3 wives – Epsy Young, Lydia Evans, and Eliza Herring. We are still looking for George King.

If you have info on these families that would support or refute the above, please let us know by replying

Re: Marriage Lookup

Thanks so much for your efforts. I don't know anything more about the marriage. The 1880 Census has there ages as 33 and 30 yrs.and births in Georgia and Florida.Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Marriage Lookup

mcsantry — 2007-10-29 19:49:12Z

I plan to get out to the County Records Office in Yulee within the next month. I will look for the actually marriage record at that time. But, the Nassau County marriage records don't usually have the additional information you are looking for. I'd probably have a better chance looking thru the newspapers at the library or looking at church records(?). Do you know their religion? If not, I may be able to tell that from the recorded marriage return at the courthouse.

Re: Marriage Lookup

Re: Rewis in Nassau County

mcsantry — 2007-10-27 20:42:39Z

According to the 1920 census on ancestry.com, the likely parents of Blanche Rewis are Dock and Ada Rewis. In 1920, they live in Johnsville, Baker Co., FL. Dock is listed as 32, born in FL, a farmer, with his father born in FL and mother born in GA. Ada is 32 and born in GA, with both of her parents born in PA. Besides Blanche, age 8, they have a son Wesley, age 10.

Blanche's father "Dock" is listed as Arley in the 1910 census. He lives in Baker Co., FL with his wife Ada and son Wesley (of course, Blanche is not born yet).

GA in 1860 -- same name and trade (tin smith), but wife's name is Elisabeth. Would this be the same man? On this 1860 census, George and Elisabeth have one daughter Mary, 1 > son, John 11 and son, William 9 -- listed in that order. On the 1870 Columbia Co. census, George is now George W. Holzendorf, and the children are Mary E., John L. and George W.

Thank you so much for this info. I began my ancestry search today and got stuck at Josiah King. I could not find any records showing who his parents or siblings were or where he was from in order to look.

I would try a couple of things.
First, I would see if there was an obit published in the Jax paper's. Also, I would request a death certificate. They are only $5.00 and give you a lot of valuable info.

Perry Davis (b.15 Aug 1877 Nassau, Fla.) father was Henry J. Davis (b. 1856 Fla.) Henry's father was Archibald Davis (b.3 Jan 1813 Ga.) I dont know much about Archibald except that he married Jane Callahan in 1837 and his children were, Earl, James, Catherine, Hiram S and Henry J. Davis. Please let me know if this helps. I have death dates and some burial dates and places and alot of census info. Let me know if you need anymore info.
