Guardianship Bond for Ann Gann

PJatAU — 9 Jul 2008 8:46:43 GMT

In going through the state archives card file that are available through the Georgia Virtual Vault, I came across a notecard regarding a Guardian's bond.

The card reads as follows:
Gann, Elizabeth

Mch.2, 1818. William P. Jackson, with John Nutt surety; Bond as guardian of Ann Gann, an illegitimate child of Elizabeth Gann. Administrators' and Guardians' Bonds, 1811-1839, p. 125, Clarke County.

A couple of questions. Which of the many Gann lineages does this Elizabeth belong to? If Mr. Jackson is putting up the bond as guardian, was he Ann's father or Elizabeth's beau?

Joseph M. Barry/Rosa Lee Weatherly family

sderingtonTX — 25 Sep 2008 2:15:33 GMT

I would appreciate any help regarding the children of Joseph and Rosalie Barry. I think some of them might have gone to Louisiana. There were 8 children that I know of. Eugene, Frank, Mary, Josephine, Lottie, Paul, Fred and John.

Richard Bearden b. Abt. 1753 d. 1831

Pat Shackelford — 9 Jun 1999 12:00:00 GMT

Richard Bearden died In Clarke County, GA in 1831. His will dated 10 June 1831 lists bequests to his children; however there is no mention of his wife. I am assuming she had passed on prior to that date. I am searching for the name of his wife and where she might be buried.

Is anyone in Clarke County or surrounding area searching this line or is there perhaps some decendants still living in the area. I would love to hear from anyone with information.

Ricks,Rix,Reeks Family in GA.

Hugh Ricks — 19 Sep 1999 12:00:00 GMT

In 1791 John Ricks sold his property in Nash Co.,N.C. Soon thereafter he moved to GA where his three sons were born to he and his wife Catherine (Steadman?). Their names were Benjamin, Robert and John D. Ricks - all born in GA between 1795 and 1809. I have no information on John or his wife during the period of 1791 and 1810 when he moved to Washington Parish,La. It seems that John moved to La with his brother, Johannon Ricks. Johannon was a member of Mars Hill Baptist Church along with his wife, Eleanor Thompson, from 1806 until 1809. Can anyone help me find the Georgia information on John.Some of his siblings that may also have moved Ga. were:Gideon, Redmond, Larry and Jesse Ricks.

Need deed help please-1820's

RossSmith53 — 19 Feb 2008 5:31:08 GMT

George Ray died after 1819 in probably Clarke co Ga. I can not find a will for him. He owned land in Clarke co Ga. there must have been a will or letters of aministration but I can not find any info about his death. Many of the other Ga counties had land lot numbers and districts but Clarke co Ga formed before the first land lottery did not use the district and land lot system. For example George Ray's land was in the fork of the north and middle fork of the Oconee River. How do you find a land record for a description like that. In the early 1800's it listed the neighbor's names to help identify where the propertywas. IF I could find a land record showing where George Ray sold his land i probably the early 1820's or if I could find where George Ray left his land to someone it would help determine when and where he died. If anyone has land reocrd from the early 1820's please help or if anyone has will records showing a George Ray please help. Thanks

IDENTIFIY/LOCATE (?) HOPE CH CEMETERY 1922 Edd Tool(e) burial

VivianCates50 — 29 Nov 2007 11:02:33 GMT

Can anyone identify/locate a _?_ Hope Ch. Cemetery in the vicinity of the 1347 Georgia Militia District in the fall of 1922 in Clarke County, Georgia, or an adjoining county. This is the burial place on a death certificate I found on the Georgia Archives web site for my 2g-uncle, Edd Tool b.c. August 1861 Barnwell District, South Carolina, who died October 19, 1922, in the 1347 GMD of Clarke County, Georgia. The first word in the church name is unreadable. Edgar(aka Ed L./Edward/Thomas E.)Toole) was a brother to two of my great grand parents, all children of R. I. Manning Toole and Mary Greene who are on the 1880 Oconee County, Georgia, census after moving from Barnwell County, South Carolina, c. 1871-1874. Edgar Toole's name was so mangled on the various census that I only found him by accident after 1880. 1900 Clarke Co., 1910 Oconee Co., 1920 Oglethorpe Co. and his widow is in Clarke Co. in 1930. I would very much like to locate any living descendents of Edgar Toole still in the Clarke-Oconee County area. I was told a family story about some in this family being murdered in some sort of store robbery c. 1907-11. Edgar Toole m. 1st Louisa/Laura Chancey 13 Dec. 1880 and 2nd Samantha Brooks Dec. 24, 1887. They had about eight children some of whose names were unreadable due to black marks on the census pages. Elizabeth/Lizzie m. Anglin, John H/K m. Mattie M. _?_, Mattie/Mali m. Clarke, Albert m. Lillie Vinson, Effie L. m. Pierce.

Edward H. Mason, Edwin H. Macon, Edwin Mounger, Henry Mounger, Henry Mason, or Henry Manger

oudidntno — 28 Mar 2007 1:35:09 GMT

I'm an investigating novice so I need some help. I am an alumni member of the Phi Kappa Literary Society at the University of Georgia. Being almost 190 years old, some oral history of the organization concerning our founding generation has become slightly distorted so I'm trying to set the record straight.

Anyway, according to the current legend, back in 1820 at the time of our creation, two of our founding members were supposedly a "Edwin Mason" and a "Henry Mason"- both students at the University and brothers. However, nothing from our remaining records (sadly much of our documentation was destroyed or stolen during the Northern occupation of our Hall) indicates these two ever existed. The only secondary source I could find close to this (UGA Catalogue of 1906) listed a Edward H. Mason, class of 1824. Also listed is a Edwin Mounger and a Henry Mounger in the same class as Mason. The catalogue also claims Mason as a founder of our organization but that's the only bio. info it provides for either Mason or the Moungers. Now it gets a bit more complicated since the University of Georgia yearbook for 1886 listed a Edwin H. Macon of Greensborough, Georgia and a Henry Manger of Athens, Georgia as part of the founding generation (no mention of any Masons).

Since I doubt the accuracy of all these documents, I'm trying to find contemporary documentation- census, marriage licenses, etc. that any of these persons actually existed and that their lifespan and achievements could match the secondary sources and the Society's sources I have. Like I mentioned earlier, the only facts I know is that whoever helped found our organization had to be close to college age in 1820 (which means anywhere from 16 to 22ish) and that the yearbook list "Henry Manger" as from Athens while "Edward H. Macon" was supposedly from Greensborough, Ga. I've already tried Thomas Reed's History of the University of Georgia and he fails to list the 1824 class members and mentions nothing about any of these gentlemen as founders of our Society in his Phi Kappa Chapter. Since Reed was an avid historian and alumnus of our Society I tend to think he was right.

If you have any information please let me know or if you could point me in the right dirrection to search I would be greatful. Thank you.

Wills/estate lookup; early 1800s; Benjamin MADDUX

Rhonda — 21 Jun 2006 11:07:34 GMT

Is there anyone out there with a will book? I am trying to locate my brick wall, Alexander MADDUX (also spelled MADDOX & MATTOX). He died before 1810. It is rumored he died in Greene County, but I have searched there and he did not. I have been to four counties total and have not found his estate. However, I have found mention of his estate in his son's estate (in the estate of Benjamin MADDUX of Putnam County).

So, I know Alexander died before 1810, and I know he had an estate, but it's unclear as to which county. If you have a will book available, will you please look for Alexander MADDUX? Thank you!

Need 1808 tax list look up

Ross Smith — 20 Nov 2006 2:34:57 GMT

A researcher in Clarke co Ga said they would do an 1808 Clarek co Ga tax look up a few month ago and never replied so if anyone has the Clarek co Ga tax digest for 1808 there is an entry where George Ray paid the taxes for a John Ray. In 1807 George Ray paid the taxes for Solomon Ray and the entry said he was paying the taxes for his son Solomon Ray. Would someone look at the 1808 Clarke co Ga tax record and see if it says George Ray was paying taxes for his son John Ray or if it sayd he was paying taxes for John Ray. If it says George ray paid taxes for his son John Ray then I will know the John Ray mentioned was George Ray's son. thanks,Ross

I'm interested in Georgia Dickens families, mine are in Hancock, Washington and Baldwin co, early 1800's. Have heard from a senior citizen of Clark Co. that they were related to the Hancock Co Dickens. This man was a sales man in the 40-50's and knew the Hancock Co. Dickens families.

Athens-Clarke County GA Cemetery Book- look up

joymccook — 9 Oct 2005 6:29:47 GMT

Hi,
I saw that there is a book published of the Athens-Clarke County GA Cemeteries. It is supposed to have the transcription of 139 cemeteries. Does anyone have a copy of this book? If so, would you be willing to look up a name for me. I am trying to find where John Bowling (Bolling and many other possible spellings) was buried. He was born in 1736 in Orance County Virginia and supposedly died in 1812 in Clarke County, GA. If you do have the book and are willing to look it up for me, please email me directly at joymccook@yahoo.com Please put "Bowling look up" in the subject.
Thanks!

S W — 23 Jul 2002 1:36:44 GMT

A part of the 1920 Clarke Co, GA census (Athens) was xeroxed to me by a distant relative, to help in my LANGFORD/LANKFORD lineage that I researching. I am unable to see some names/ages for 5 of the people on it.

Listed below, I transcribed what I could from the xerox copy. There are 2 separate households that include both my ancestors [Ellen M. LANDRUM, Lincoln/Annie SANDERS], and some who I believe may be my ancestors [the LANGFORDs]. I am hoping someone out there could "translate" the missing info. I pasted the xerox page on a web page for easy viewing- maybe someone will see something I don't. The URL is http://www.angelfire.com/amiga/genobuff/census.html

First household:

Ellen M. LANDRUM head F W 49 Widowed
Guy LANDRUM son M W 17 S
Robert LANDRUM son M W 9 S
Lincoln SANDERS son-in-law M W 24 M
Annie SANDERS daug F W 20 M
Victor DUNCAN boarder M W 64 Widowed
Bettie HAYNES boarder F W 76 S
Wm H. MARTIN boarder M W 86 Widowed

Second household, living next door was:

W.W. LANGFORD head M W 30 M
Pope? LANGFORD wife F W 27 M

I hope someone can help, thanks!!

Phillips Daniel E

Faylene Wolcott — 21 Oct 2006 3:49:55 GMT

I have a copy of the old Phillips Family Bible that came from the SanJacinto Lib. in Liberty TX. One reason for the confusing Daniels is this. It list one Daniel that was born1760/1770 a list of all their children are also there beginning with Polly, ? it is very hard to read Danile 1792. Death list first Daniel 1810 married Elizabeth died in 1836. Daniel died in 1883 Elizabeth died 1885 several more deaths and births now I know that is why so many different things on Daniel E is the son. The Father I think is Daniel A or H. not sure. He went from VA to NC where all of their children were born. I am not sure of order but Polly 89,Benjamen, Silas, Daniel, John my side married a Elizabeth , William, Eliza A, Permelia, Hope this makes the mud a little clear. My scanner is on the blink or I would scan the Bible on site for all to see.

I have old photographs...

Epps/Alexander Epps/Hodge(s) Epps/Connelly Epps/Gann Epps/Carter

ConnieEpps1370 — 24 Sep 2006 7:29:45 GMT

Have any of the Epps researchers proven that these three men might be brothers. They were in Georgia, USA in the early census.

William Epps married Sarah Alexander 23 Jan 1826 in Clarke Co., GA (they are buried in a family plot off Epps Bridge Rd, Athens, GA)

Thomas N Epps married Hodges, Pricilla 3 Feb 1819 Clarke Co., GA (Does anyone know where they are buried)?

Epps, William m Connelly, Elizabeth 7 Feb 1827 Clarke Co., GA. (Does anyone know where they are buried)?

Epps, Sally married Hodge, Joseph 2 Feb 1815 Clarke Co, GA (Does anyone know where they are buried)?

Epps, Sarah married Gann, Samuel 4 Oct 1832 (Does anyone know where they are buried)?

Epps, Nathaniel married Carter

As you are aware, the names are so similar, it gets confusing?

I am attempting to match the syblings in the marriages I've listed.

Who are the parents?

Who are the syblings?

Where are they buried?

Can anyone help us clarify?

Does anyone have any photos?

I am looking to connect with persons researching any of these lines?

Thanks.

Churches in Watkinsville Ga area in the early 1800's

Ross Smith — 7 Sep 2006 4:56:46 GMT

My ancestor was George Ray and he lived in Clarke co Ga in the Watkinsville Ga area. His son Samuel Ray attended the Mars Hill Baptist Church 1805-1806 but George Ray or his son Solomon Ray were not listed as members. Maybe they attended another church in the Watkinsville Ga area. Would anyone know of another church that existed in the Watkinsville Ga arera in the early 1800's? Samuel Ray attended the Trail Creek Baptist Church after he left the Mars Hill Baptist Church. Would anyone know if there are resources that would show the membership lists for other churches in the early 1800's in the Watkinsville Ga area that might list George Ray or his son Solomon Ray. I am trying to find who George Ray's wife was and thought maybe she might be listed in the church membership list. Thanks

James J. Booth - Civil War

Tara_Fields — 20 Aug 2006 6:06:44 GMT

Hi folks,

I'm looking for a James J. Booth who served in the Civil War, probably on the Union side as this pension card exists (Federal card, not state). I'm going to order the pension records, but I'm not sure how long that will take, or if it will answer my question on who his last wife was.

He may have had a brief marriage to a woman named Cora A (Allie, Alchorn) Moore, maybe going by the surname Byrd/Bird. He probably died around 1905/6. Cora remarried in 1908. She was NOT married to Booth during the 1900 census. During the 1920 Census Cora was married to Arthur Madison Morgan. So "my" Cora won't be on the census as a Booth. It's Cora that I'm really interested in.

I found, on Ancestry, a Civil War Pension Index Card from what looks like 1906. Booth, James J and Cora Allie were named. Pension applied for from Georgia.

Sorry I don't have more information. I haven't firmly pinned down this Booth, yet. So far, in the census I've found a black Cora Booth(e) and a white Cora Booth(e) who was the wife of Chandler. Neither would be the right one. I'm trying to see if I can confirm that this Cora, wife of James, is a different Cora from the one who later married Arthur Madison Morgan.

While Cora was from Elbert/Madison Counties, the marriage may have taken place in Hall or Clarke County (she was in Hall Co. in 1900 and Clarke Co. in 1910).

Thanks!

If some kind soul has a cemetery book, will you please lookup the surname MADDUX (also spelled MADDOX & MATTOX). I am looking for a person who died between 1830 & 1840. I do not have the first name for sure, but I know he's a male and was born between 1780-1790. I believe his name was Joseph, but that is just a guess.

Thank you!
