Subj: LOGAN and KILCREASE

Date: 97-08-30
From: [email protected] (Peggy Logan)
I am researching my husband's great grandfather, Dawson LOGAN, b. ca 1820 GA. "Dawson" isn't a common given name so I was very interested to see that there were men by that name in Jackson Co. Our Dawson LOGAN lived in Decatur and Miller Cos., GA and before that (1850) in Thomas Co. We believe he was probably the Dawson LOGAN who was on the 1840 Washington Co., GA census. On the 1840 Thomas Co. census he is mistakenly listed as "Johnson LOGAN." We know it was Dawson because of deeds, etc. there. Can anyone please help us sort out the Dawson LOGAN's? Are those in Jackson Co. related to the William H. LOGAN who md. Abbie BULLOCK?  According to tradition, our Dawson md. (Mary?) Susanna Morris. They had the following children: Mary, Eliza Jane, Leon, William Thomas, Margaret, Martha, James Olen, C. C. (prob. Christopher Columbus) and Minolee. They were b. between 1840 and 1870. James Olen LOGAN is ours. He md. Mary KILCREASE in 1880. Thank you for any possible help. I am eager to share my information.Peggy Logan

Subject: Jackson Co. CW Vet
My g-grandfather, John M. (Mansford?) Pellum (Pelham) was a CW Vet. He was originally from Henry Co. AL, and may have fought with Co. A, 37th AL Infantry. He settled in Jackson County at some point after the war, with at least some of his children who went on to raise their children there. He is buried (next to wife, Lucy Baggett) in Collin's Mill Cemetery in Graceville.  There is a Confederate marker on his plot which was placed there within the last ten years, I think. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture.

Hello, I just would like to say that you have a wonderful page here for the Jackson Co. genealogy Keep up the great work. Now on to my query..... I am looking for any information on the surname CARTER. My gggrandmothers name was Queen E. CARTER and I have found her on the Jackson Co. marriages books married to a William A. CREAMER in 1871. 3 years later she married Thomas Jefferson PARKER ( this is my gggrandfather) I have not been able to trace anything past her. I have no idea who her parents were or even when she was born. I would like to think I have finally traced her to Jackson Co. but have not been able to find her on any census reports. If there is anyone out there that might have any link to these names or any info on them please get in touch with me I would love to hear from you. Thank you. Regina Adams Shrader

Subj: Re: George Washington Barker
Date: 97-08-12
From: [email protected] (Sue Suttle)
Betty,
If it isn't him, it's a relative. Far as I know we don't have a record of a Nathaniel but we have a slew of Johns and Thomas'. Could have had 6 brothers named Nathaniel for all we know about him. I wonder if he and George were brothers. If they came from Randolph Co., GA, they would almost have to be related! (don't you think?) George married in 1842, probably born around 1820's..dates are right!

Fay in Canyon, TX says she thinks George's father was David and that he was in Florida. Don't know what she bases this theory on but everything else
she has come up with has been right. Don't know what county (probably yours ha).
I was about ready to call you...thought maybe you'd died on me before you found the rest of my family tree!Love ya! Sue
(Eunice Brigham m George Washington Barker
and after he died she and the children went to TX where he family had moved with only the children and some slaves. Eunice was the daughter of Emeral Brigham and Martha Mott, who at one time lived in Randolph Co GA and before that Jefferson Co FL. Emeral Brigahm b 1791/92 MA.) BJS

Subj: Sneads, Fla and the Williams Family
Date: 97-08-05
From: [email protected] (Kenneth Shiver)
I am researching information on the Williams Family. William Williams moved with his wife Elizabeth to Sneads around 1830 to 1850. Found them in the 1850 census. They had serveral children. Of interest is James B. Williams who married Melissa Plair (Player - Family records indicate Plair. There is a wedding in the Early Marriages Book in 1859 that indicates Player was the correct name.) They had a daugther (my great
grandmother) Mary Elizabeth Williams in 1864. I believe Melissa died, because in 1865 James married Mary Jane Lupo(confirmed by the Early
Marriage Records and family records) . Somewhere from 1865 to 1875, James and Mary Jane moved to California leaving James daughter Mary Elizabeth for adoption with the Shiver's of Camilla, Georgia. Family Records also indicate that Melissa is buried in the Old Miller
(Millner) Church cemetary 2 miles west of Sneads. Any connections, history of Sneads, etc would be greatly appreciated. Kenneth Shiver

Any information you could provide me on Richmond Jr. or Richmond Sr. and any of the children would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Subj: Death Certificate
Date: 97-08-03
From: [email protected] (carl bredbenner)
I'm trying to figure out how to get a death certificate for my greatgreandmother Margaret Melinda Cook Byrd (b. 1857 d. Feb 28, 1910) who died in or around Graceville (she's buried in Rehobeth, Houston Co, AL)--AL doesn't have a death certificate for her, they began collecting this data in 1908, so I must assume her death was registered in FL. Unfortunately, FL didn't begin registering deaths until after this date. Any ideas how I can find a copy of her death certificate? I need it to determine who her parents were.
Is there any way to access Graceville funeral home records circa 1910? Thanks for any help.

Subj: Jackson County Cemeteries
Date: 97-08-03 11:22:39 EDT
From: [email protected]
One research area that Jackson County researchers may have neglected is the older cemeteries just across the Ala line. One such cem has included the graves of several Fla families such as Blackwell, Chumney, Eddins, Howard, Jordan, Nordan, Simmons, Watford. That is Pilgrim's Rest Baptist Church. From Grangerburg, go east toward State Park on Co Rd 4, about 5 mi and turn left at sign. Church is in sight of sign. Another, just south of there and within sight is the Friendship Methodist Church Cem, and it is within a mile of state line. There I found my great-great grandmother's grave - Bethany Oswald Simmons, born 1830, died 1904.
Also are families of McDaniel, Dr Granger and family. He was a Confed Surgeon after whom Grangerburg was named. Watford, Stephens. An interesting plot is that of the Blackwell family. There is a marker that tells who each child married and it also tells of the family coming from SC in 1850 or so. Other names in that small cem are Long, Grimsley, Lockhart, Yarbrough Adams and Strickland. There are many unmarked graves there and the cem is in poor shape.


Subj: Byrd and Cook
Date: 97-08-01
From: Carl Bredbenner [email protected]
I'm researching the Byrd line in Jackson Co.
My ggrandfather was William Samuel Byrd (B July 19, 1860 maybe in AL) died Jan 7, 1933) He was living in Graceville at the time of his death. He married Margaret Malinda Cook (b. July 27, 1857, d. Feb 28, 1910) on Sept 18, 1879 in Jackson Co, FL (Book E-232). I'm told that Margaret was a Cherokee. He remarried after Margaret's death; his wife at the time of his death was Dollie.
They had my grandfather Thomas Buford Byrd (b. Nov 10, 1895, d. Feb 14, 1992)...I don't know of any other siblings. My grandfather spent a
large part of his life in Hartford, AL (very near to Graceville).
William's father's name was either John Byrd or Ison?? (can't read death
certificate well, but that's what it looks like) Byrd.
