I forgot to mention that James also ended up in Clarke County, Georgia. They may be a cousin or brothers. I think I have ruled out my orginal post about Robert as a relative. But it gets confusing!

Re: WHAT WAS EARLIEST NEWSPAPER IN CLARKE CO GA

RossSmith53 — 2009-09-03 05:52:40Z

Carole
Some time ago you were nice enough to reply to my query on Ancestry.com about what was the earliest newspaper in Clarke co Ga. You were able to find a land entry that mentioned my ancestor Solomon ray in the early 1800's in Clarke co Ga.Could I ask another favor. Solomon ray's father was George Ray/Wray. He lived in Clarke co Ga and went to Jasper co Ga about 1811. The last record anyone has about George Ray/Wray was in 1819 when his son Samuel Ray deeded his Clarke co Ga land back over to George. Samuel Ray had tried to sell it for George and apparently could not sell it so he deeded it back to George. George must have died shortly after that. Would you mind looking in your book about newspapers in Clarke co Ga or surrounding counties and see if there is any mention of a George Ray or Wray please? IT might not say when or where he died but it might make a mention about an estate sale which would give me an idea about when George died.Thanks.,Ross

Re: Barber's Creek area

skelley1970 — 2009-07-10 19:08:07Z

Barber's Creek starts in Barrow County basically where "The Georgia Club" is located. It flows into Oconee County and crosses Mars Hill Road before joining with McNutts Creek in Clarke County and then into the Middle Oconee River. Try Map Quest maps and enter 2481 Mars Hill Road, Winterville, GA. You should be able to find the creek location that way. Also found this deed http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gaoconee/Records/Property/... on the Oconee County, GA rootsweb site. Calls Creek is near Barber Creek. Here's a good link to William Daniell, http://www.avoc.info/info/article.php?article=3714 . Daniell's home was on Barber Creek. This area was orginally in Jackson County, then Clarke, now Oconee. Hope this help. Neither Daniell nor Barber are my families.

Barber's Creek area

nbarber32 — 2009-06-02 18:39:06Z

I have seen Barber’s Creek listed in some of my research and I was wondering if someone could explain where this area actually is. I know that a Civil War battle happened in this area as well. I am trying to figure out 2 main things –

1) Is this area close to the Mars Hill Road and William Daniell house area?

2) Does anyone know why it is called Barber’s Creek? Did a Barber family live there at some point?

I’m trying to figure out if possibly a Barber family lived near the Daniell’s because I have a William Barber marrying William Daniell’s daughter, Rachel in Clarke County in January 1810 who are my 3GGparents. I have found Daniell information at times, but I have not been able to find William Barber’s family although it seems that they lived somewhere in the area.

Re: BARCLAY McGHEE

mcd5430 — 2009-03-15 20:23:35Z

My reason for requesting a Roane Co. marriage lookup was to find the marriage of Pollie McGae & Levi Lemmon who are found in the Roane Co. 1830 census. The kind lookup person didn't find such record but did find that one Bartly McGee signed as bondsman for 'an' 1802 marriage but didn't say whose marriage. If you know more about Pollie I'd be interested. Thanks, Martha

Re: BARCLAY McGHEE

mcd5430 — 2009-03-15 19:23:33Z

Don't know if it means anything but in response to my query for an early Roane Co. marriage for Pollie McGea, one "Bartly McGhee" was a bondsman in an 1802 marriage, don't know whose marriage, that's all I was given. If you've encountered my Pollie (nickname for Mary?) please advise. Martha

Re: Crooked Creek area 1803 and before

droncit — 2009-03-11 23:33:06Z

The Humphries family (Uriah, George, Shadrack and others) in this area were from Virginia up to the 1790s, then to NC, and then to Jackson and Clarke Counties. If you've seen Uriah's will, he talks about having had a wife and some children in VA, but didn't feel he owed them anything, and left everything to the family in GA, although it looked like some of the sons were given some things.

My McDonalds were from the same area of VA and I'm trying to track them down in NC but not having much success yet. I'm not sure where in NC the Humphries were living.

Dan

Re: Crooked Creek area 1803 and before

droncit — 2009-03-12 18:39:47Z

Hi Rusty -

I assume that is the same line. Elijah Uriah I think (but I'm going from memory, and I'm not related to them, so I'm not certain on this) was grandson of Uriah whose will is in Clarke County records office. I have a scan of it which I can send you. Anyway, they were in Clarke and Jackson counties and were in NC beforehand, and in VA before that. Uriah talks about it in his will.
My McDonalds were in Jackson County and were interconnected with the Humphreys/Humphries a bit. There was a George Humphreys who married Abigail McDonald who is probably related to my McDonalds, but we're still sorting them all out. We have 2 McDonald families about 1799-1820; they are probably related but we don't know exactly how. We think cousins because of the multitude of James McDs. No male descendants of the other family of McDs have been located at this time who would be willing to do DNA testing.

My McDonalds trace back to VA and I obtained a very close genetic match to a different McDonald family from the same area of VA, so I'm fairly certain that they're the right McDonalds in VA who end up in Jackson County. For the Humphreys, there is the will, and the names match the VA names very well.

I believe there is even a court record that talks about one of the Humphreys men going to NC during the 1790s, but again that is based on memory. There were several records in VA indicating that a number of families moved to NC; it appears that a number of them also came to Jackson County within about 10 years.

Re: Guardianship Bond for Ann Gann

motormouth42 — 2009-01-01 17:50:19Z

I was given information that the Elizabeth Gann who married John Alexander was born abt. 1770. I've also heard the rumors that her mother was a Native American.

For at least a 30 yr period there are families of Epps living around the Ganns in Clarke Co. GA. Have not found a marriage between Ganns and Epps but may need to look further as there are several females whose husband's names are not known. From what Wesley Gann states there was a marriage between a Samuel Gann and Epps in 1832. Don't know who this Samuel is as of now.

Nathan Gann's son Nathan Gann, Jr. and my Nathan Gann have been confused in the past as being one and the same.

My Nathan Gann was the grandson of Adam Carter Gann, through his son Ignatious Nathan Gann.

Re: BARCLAY McGHEE

JoanTroy — 2009-03-15 19:37:09Z

Thanks for that information. I believe Bartly (Barclay) McGhee was Polly's father. I don't have any dates for her, but 1802 for her marriage would be about right. Does it say to whom she was married? I'd love to have that information.

Re: BARCLAY McGHEE

JoanTroy — 2009-03-15 20:40:17Z

Martha, after going over some of my old notes, I have to question my earlier statement (which I now realize was an assumption) about Polly being Barclay's daughter. It just isn't so certain now that I try to find where I got the idea.

Barclay, whose family I remain interested in (and from which I am descended) might have been a bondsman for any number of folks, buthis daughter Polly is said to have married a Lowry, and upon further investigation, I think her approximate age would have to have been a little too young for an 1802 marriage. I'm sorry for giving you misleading information.

Darn it! Best of luck to you, though, and thank you for your note. Wish I could be helpful in return.

Any information on Blackmon family in Clarke (or surrounding) Counties

tinker69 — 2008-10-29 15:19:36Z

I am looking for any information on a Blackmon family in Clarke County between 1840 - 1880. My great grandmother was Fannie Blackmon and her death certificate indicates that she was born 22 Oct 1873 in Athens, Georgia. Her father is listed as David (D. - probably Daniel) Blackmon. The 1860 census for Jackson County shows a Blackmon family (Father - John; Mother - Frankey; Daughter - Susan; and Son - David). I'm not sure if this is the same David but the age would be close. The 1843 Tax Records for Clarke County also show both a David (R?) Blackmon as well as a Sanford Blackmon listed in Whitesville. Both David D. Blackmon (father) and Fannie Blackmon (daughter) later moved to Atlanta where both died. David D. Blackmon was married twice and perhaps his first wife (unknown) died during or shortly after childbirth. I believe that my Great Grandmother was her only child. David later re-married Lettie Mary Stone (probably in Atlanta) about 1877 (four years after the birth of my GGm) and they had five additional children. I have also located a John Blackmon (possible father of David D.) who married Tempy Caroline Porterfield in Clarke County 21 August 1861 (again, I have no idea if there is a connection). If this was the same John Blackmon, it would have been his second marriage. I seem to have reached the proverbial brick wall, so any information would be greatly appreciated.

Mrs. Annie Eyre Baker Inman. 30181
Born in Lewes, Delaware.
Widow of William T. Inman.
Descendant of John Clifton, of Delaware.

Granddaughter of Benjamin Baker and Tabitha Clifton, his wife.
Gr.-granddaughter of John Clifton and Tabitha, his wife.

John Clifton, (1750-1802), served as a private in the Delaware militia. He was severely wounded
in the southern campaign and being disabled from further duty, was placed on the pension roll, 1785.
He was born in Ireland; died in Lewes, Delaware. His brothers Whittington and George also gave
service.

Frank (Francis) Thornton, North Georgia, mid-late 1800's

raycock_1 — 2009-01-05 23:12:42Z

I'm desperately seeking information on an individual named Frank (perhaps Francis?) Thornton. I know very little about him or his family, so I'd like some help from you genealogical detectives out there. Here's what I know about Frank:

He married Anna (Annie) Irvin in Georgia.
They had at least one child: Alice Thornton, born around 1892 in Georgia.

Outside of that, I'm assuming that Frank and Annie got married in one of the counties where Annie's family lived: Pike, Hall, or Jackson (in chronological order). Annie was born in 1868 in Pike County. She had remarried by 1898.

That's all I know. I would appreciate any help you could provide, especially family members. Surely, someone knows about the Thorntons in this area, and could offer up info.

Please email me at r.aycock@comcast.net with any info or advice. Thanks so much!!

Elijah Uriah Humphries married Elizabeth F Alexander on 12 Mar 1823, in Clarke County, Georgia. I am related through the Alexander's, and I have information to share on the Alexander's. I would like more information on the Humphries.

Several years ago, I was following a false lead on my Fields ancestors, and I found out quite a lot on the Humphries and Fields, that were from N.C.. It seems that they were connected to the famous Daniel Boone, that moved to Kentucky. Unfortunately, the William Fields that married the Humphries, and moved to Georgia, was not my line.

RussellFields57 — 2009-02-21 01:02:59Z

I would like to share information with anyone researching the Kenney/Kinney, Alexander, Wier/Weir,Wilson, Jackson, and Johnson surnames.
I also have an interest in the "Ransom Nichols" that was mentioned in an earlier post(Nichols/Kinney). I am familiar with a Ransom Nichols that married "Quincy Adeline Moss", when she was very young. Ransom abandoned Adeline soon after the marriage, and went to the gold fields in California. I'm not sure how long he stayed before he came back. I think he was in Lumpkin County also.
I am a direct descendant of the Wier's and Alexanders in Wilkes, Oglethorpe, and Jackson Counties. I also have quite alot on the James Kennedy Johnson line that came from Knox County Tennessee, and traded property with a UGA professor after the Civil War, because he was shunned for refusing to fight. I have personal letters written in 1894, 1917, 1924, etc., and family bibles that belonged to Maggie Wilson and Alice Alexander Merk. Alice operated the Martin Institute in Jefferson, Jackson, Georgia.
I also have an unpublished manuscript given to me by Hilda Belle Alexander Logan with other significant original documents of genealogical value.
The letters mentioned are of a personal family nature between family members, i.e. Aunt's, Uncles, Sisters, etc. I thought about posting some but decide to share them with those with direct ancestry.
I hope someone responds.

I knew some McDonald's up in Lumpkin County several years ago. They lived on Long Branch Rd.

Anyway, and this is all from memory, there was a Susannah Humphrey/Humphries that married William Fields. That William Fields was given the job of "laying out the town", I forget what County, in N.C., about 1801. There were several marriages of Fields and Humphries in "Boone", N.C. area. I traced the Humphrey/Fields to North Georgia. They had a son, Thomas J Fields, that I thought was my gggrandfather, born in 1841. Unfortunately, he was the wrong Thomas J Fields. There were actually three T J Fields born in 1841 in GA.

John H. appears to be accurate for what I'm looking for. I had found the same name in the 1900 US census and wasn't sure though. Also, the Paul Augustus matches since both of my Paul Burnett's had the middle name of Augustus although the WW1 registration birth date is off. But, perhaps he gave his incorrect age. Thanks much for the info and if I can assist you, please let me know.
