I'm researching this Mears family of Screven Co, GA:

John Mears b: Bet 1785-1790 SC (Probably), d: Bet 1824-1827 GA & Leodica Dicey Best (then Campbell, then Mears) moved from SC to GA prior to 1820, known children:
- Henry Best Mears b: Abt 1810 in Screven Co, GA
- James Joab Mears b: Abt 1812 in Screven Co, GA
- John Wilson Mears b: Abt 1814 in Screven Co, GA
- & possibly several daughters per census numbers

James Joab Mears m; Marian Unk, children:
- James Henry Mears b: Abt 1837 in Screven Co, GA
- Julia H Mears b: Abt 1838 in Screven Co, GA
- Lucy A Mears b: 1842 in Screven Co, GA
- Elizabeth Mears b: Abt 1847 in Screven Co, GA

John Wilson Mears m: Mary Bashaba Lewis b: Abt 1815 in Screven Co, GA, children:
- Mary Mears b: Abt 1815 in Screven Co, GA
- John Burnwell Mears b: 30 Apr 1836 in Screven Co, GA
- Emily E Mears b: 4 Jul 1838 in Screven Co, GA
- William Henry Mears b: 13 Nov 1840 in Screven Co, GA
- James Michael Mears b: Abt 1842 in Screven Co, GA
- Martha V Mears b: Abt 1844 in Screven Co, GA
- Oliney Mears b: Abt 1846 in Screven Co, GA
- Herchiel Mears b: Abt 1849

Can anyone lead me to more accurate/complete information about this family and their descendants? I'm trying to put the entire Mears lineage together whose progenitor in the USA is John Mears of England b: about 1760, this John Mears' father; all of John (of Georgia's) siblings have offspring in SC that are fairly well represented in the family tree, but the GA line is lacking in info. Any Screven Co GA/southern GA Mears researchers out there willing to exchange info? Please contact me at smears@zianet.com.
