Miles family

emptymike — 2011-12-31 00:33:23Z

I am searching for information on Amanda Miles who married my Greatgrandfather. They were married in Middletown Ky 1869. In the 1870 census George Miles was living with Berryman and Amanda Boes. Henry Miles and his wife Mary were living close by. Amanda, George, and Henry are all listed as being born in Georgia. A family member told me that my grandfather, Shelby Boes, was born in Haralson Co. Ga. so I am thinking that Amanda still had family in Georgia and was visiting when my grandfater was born. Any information on this family would be a great help.

My Grandmother was Annie Compton Norris. Her mother was Winnie Norris Comptom. Figure that one out.

Thanks Doris! I also noticed by looking at some old Georgia county maps that there is a Holly Springs in Douglas and Elbert Counties, where I am researching other family members. That must be a popular name for a town or in this case a cemetary.

All Good Cemetery is in Paulding County, GA
There is a Holly Springs Cemetery in Carroll County, GA

Haralson County was formed from Polk & Carroll Counties in 1856. Polk County was formed from Paulding County in 1851.

Statham Family Burial

2002-03-01 17:53:55Z

Hi All,

Have been researching Statham family of Draketown. Recently received information from a distant cousin that many from the Statham family are buried in All Good and Holy Springs Cemetaries/Churches, but I don't see that these are cemeteries or churches in Haralson. Do these names sound familiar?

Regards,

Laura
