ALEXANDER - BLANTON - DILLION - RALLS - REDDING - WINSHIP
I am searching for descendants of Emory Winship born in
1829 in Georgia, died 1888 in Georgia. He married Elizabeth Alexander, who was the
daughter of William Alexander and Mary Blanton. Emory and his wife, Elizabeth, had
three sons: Isaac Winship b. 1861 who married Minnie Custis Ralls; Blanton Winship
b. 1869; and Emory Jr. Winship b. 1872 who married Katherine Dillion. Isaac Winship
and his wife Minnie Ralls had three children: Fannie Ralls Winship, Julia Rogers
Winship, and William Redding Winship. This Winship family has lived in Macon and
Bibb Counties in Georgia. I am interested in the Blanton-side of this family; namely,
Mary Blanton Alexander. I would appreciate hearing from any descendants of this
Winship family.

George B. Atwood
ATWOOD
Papers that I have on Abraham he says that he joined the War of 1812 from Fort Hawkins
in Bibb Co., GA. Abraham Atwood was born in Richmond Co., GA in 1789. His father
was Isaac Atwood who died at St. Pauls Parish (Augusta), Richmond Co, Georgia in
1791. His mother is unknown to me at this time. I have a feeling that he (Abraham)
was raised by another family in or near Macon Bibb Co,GA. What little I have on
him says that he joined the War of 1812 at Fort Hawkins. Anything you can turn up
will be appreciated and a big help to me. Thank you for your time, kindness and
help.

I am seeking
any information regarding the house at 261 College St. This property was purchased
from the City of Macon by Herman Mead in 1840. In 1854 it was sold to Sylvanus Bates.
In 1863 it was sold to John L. Jones. In 1896 the property was transferred (possibly
by will) to Richard & Anna Cubbedge. We believe the house currently on the property
was built by the Cubbedges. Subsequent owners were Robert Patterson, R. W. Patterson,
O. P. Willingham, Martha Massey James, and E. M. Adams. Any information regarding
the origins of this house and any information about any of these previous owners
would be greatly appreciated.

My great-grandfather
was born 1842 in Bibb County, Ga. His name was Turner Thomas Smith. He had a sister
named Mary, who later married a Brown. I first found him in the 1860 Barbour County,
Alabama census in the Sampson Worsley household with his sister. Who and where were
his parents? There was a Turner Smith who was murdered on December 8, 1849 at the
Rutlands Courthouse in Bibb County, Ga. by Brinkley Bishop. His brother, Thomas
H. Smith was charged with aiding and abetting in this case and sent to jail. Is
it possible that Turner or Thomas might be the father of my Turner Thomas Smith?
Turner Smith and Brinkley Bishop were involved in a case in court on the day Turner
was murdered. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am looking for the family and ancestors of Alexander D. Brown b. CT 1800 who married
Emily Crawford b. 1805 NC. They were married in Bibb County, Feb. 9, 1825 in Macon.
Although not confirmed, I believe his father to be William F. Brown b. 1784 CT.
Both he and his father moved to GA in the early 1800s. Alexander and Emily Crawford
Brown's children were: Elijah, Margaret, Sarah, Alexander, Charles, James, Julia,
William, Frank. Also living in the home on the 1850 census was Sarah Horne age 34
b. NY and children Elizabeth 3, and Samuel 1 both b. in GA. Alex and Emily moved
to Jones Co., GA before the 1850 census. There could be a possible kinship to Alexander
Brown of Oglethorpe Co. who was born in Conn also and died in Oglethorpe Co., GA
in 1811. I would like to get in contact with anyone who is a descendent of this

Pat
EVANS - VANNLooking for the parents and siblings of
Obediah Evans b 1817 (Twiggs/Wilkinson Co?). He had a son Rufus Evans b 1859 who
married Lucinda James. Rufus is my gggrandfather. I would like to know what
happened to Rufus? Also looking for a Evans and Vann cemetery. Does anyone know
the exact location of Marion, Ga.? (not marion county). I know that Marion Ga.
was quite a busy town in the early to mid 1800's. Rufus Evans and Lucinda James
were married there. I have a copy of their marriage license. Was it located near
Griswoldville? I have not been able to find it on the old Georgia maps. I
located Griswoldville but no Marion Ga. nearby. My Evans' and Vann's lived in
Griswoldville and were neighbors. I was just assuming that Marion might be
nearby if they went there to conduct business. I also know that my father
William Ernest Evans b 1912 d 1980's grew up in around Dry Branch Ga.

EVANS - RELEFORD
I am looking for anyone who knew an Evans Family in the early 1930's in Macon. I
know now that the wife was name Lillie Mae Releford Evans. My records indicate that
she married a John Lonnie Evans then married his father. It was with the older Evans
that she had four children. Records do not tell me what happend to the first husband.
A divorce maybe? Lillie Mae's parents were Ona and Robert Releford. Not quite sure
where they are from but Ona was born in 1879 in Walker Co., GA. The children were
a female, Artie Mae b. 1932; male, John Henry b. 1933; female, Wanda Louise b. 1935;
male, Mack b. 1936. One of the Evans men died in 1937. I do not have second husband's
name. Can anybody help me? I would appreciate it very much.

GRAYHAM/GRAHAM
- TAYLOR - THUNDERBIRD
Samuel Grayham (Graham)'s son Ishmael married Sally
Thunderbird in Bibb County in 1826 according to the Georgia genealogical magazine
of 1969, I think it was. I'm not sure that Thunderbird is the right transcription
of her name but it is the one used. I can find no precedent for that name in either
Creek or Cherokee tradition. But I also have no other explanation. Samuel was a
Taylor who came to Georgia by way of Charleston, SC and Wilkenson County, GA where
he served during the Oconee War, 1793. Ishmael later went to Dooly County. I have
some land information in Twiggs County.

parents were also born in Georgia. He married in Alabama in 1859; his wife was from
Carroll County, GA. A biography of his son has Thomas working as a printer's apprentice
in 1847 (at age 15), but I can find no documentation for this, nor can I find him
on a census in 1850. This g2gfather is my hardest brick wall. He was a Mason but
those records can not be found. He was politically active and is mentioned in the
Democratic party newspaper several times but there is no mention of his early life.
If any of you have any ideas that I might try, please share them with me. Any assistance
will be very much appreciated!! Thanks!!
