I was wondering if you could place a request for
information and a picture on this site for me. I am a Family Researcher, I
am searching for a picture of a man who worked at the mill and went to
the Old Conyers School. His name is Collier "Smut" Mitcham.
Thank You, Judy

~ a
message from July Hammond Bond - November 11, 2004 ~
Hello,
I am replying to the lady who was requesting information about the
cemeteries of Milstead. I have been working to get the cemeteries of all
of Rockdale County Registered and Surveyed over the past few years. Last
week I met with the "East Georgia Genealogical Society" for this reason.
Beginning the first of 2005 we are
starting this project to finally produce a book of Rockdale County
Cemeteries and Burials. If anyone knows of any small cemeteries that
are not mapped in Our County, Please let me know,
[email protected].
I have been very interested in names of
people which could be buried in Milstead. Has any one heard of a "Gober
Family Cemetery"? What Family was buried near the old Golf Course? I
need also, places of Indian Burial grounds possibly near the Yellow
River and directions to get there.
Anyone wishing to help with this
cemetery project please contact me.
[email protected].
Thank You,
Judy Hammonds Bond

~*~*~ Request from Valerie Craft ~*~*~
My ancestors lived in Milstead, Rockdale, GA from at least 1910 to 1930.
On draft registration cards and census records the men of the family are
listed as mill workers in the city of Milstead. The Head of the family is
Richard T. Smith, born around 1830. I believe he died in Rockdale
County around 1920. He was married to Rachel, and possibly had
another wife.
His children were born between 1870 and 1888 and
include Sarah, William, Mary J., James H. (married Sally), Aaron M.,
Louise, Louisa, Albert (married Lizzie), and Clarence (married
Bertha). I find that James, Albert, and Clarence were
all mill workers in Milstead.
I am interested in any info on this family that anyone
has, even if it is just to confirm the info I already have. I do have
Bible records of some of Richard's children (not Richard himself) if
anyone is interested. My direct ancestor is his daughter Louise.
Thank you,

My name is Priscilla Banks. I am
the daughter of Allie Jo Yancey. She is the niece of Ms. Julia
Thomas. My great aunt Julia was always a residence of Milstead up
until her death. Her brother Mr. Aaron Thomas is still a resident
in Milstead. My grandparents are also from Milstead. They are Mrs.
Agnes Shaw and Mr. Henry Shaw. I have some wonderful memories of
visiting my aunt Julia. Milstead always seemed to be a home away from
home. My mother Allie Jo speaks quite frequently of Milstead and I was
just wondering if there might be anything listed that I have missed
about herself or my aunt Julia. Could you please e-mail me back and let
me know if you find anything out.

My birth name is Debra Lynn Milstead and I am
trying to do my genealogy ... I believe that the people who were on the
web page are cousins, but like anything I am not sure ... My Great
Grandfather was Lucian Milstead born in Maryland in either 1861
or in 1862. That is the end of the road so far for me ... I was told
that the family was originally from Milstead Georgia by my father when I
was a young child. I was also told that their was brothers and that some
came to the north and some stayed in the south. In either case I am at a
dead end ...Can you help me?? Thank you for anything you can do and if
you need anymore info maybe I can help you ... Thanks again

Thank you for putting together such a
cool website about Milstead. My grandmother still lives in the same
house at the corner of Milstead Ave. and Turner Street that she has
lived in for about 54 years. Would this area be considered
Milstead or Conyers? I am wondering if you happen to have any
information or know anyone who has any information about a Dr.
Peter James Brown married to Pearl Stone Brown ... they
were the parents of my grandfather Dr. Joseph Christopher Brown
... Dr. P. J. Brown and my grandfather, Dr. Joe Brown
were the first doctors in Conyers. They are all buried in Eastview
Cemetary.
Thanks, Rachel
