DeKalb County, Ga. Queries
2004

I am researching the GODDARD family of Lithonia, Ga. Two brothers, Clem GODDARD and Byron GODDARD, came from S. C. One of the two was my great, great grandfather. I am not sure which brother was the father of Edward GODDARD, my great grandfather. I would appreciate any assistance. Thanks!

I an looking for the parents of Jordan SPIVEY. Jordan and Sarah Chappell TWITTY were married in Watson County Georgia in 1828 and  6 of their 7 children were born in Meriwether County. One of their sons, Anderson Mark Spivey, born 1883, was my great grandfather. I have read that Jordan's first name might be Louis.
He was born in  1807 in Georgia. I have two clues- Benjamin Spivey Jr. born in Isle of Wright,  in 1786,
Moved to GA in the early 1800.  He and his wife, Hannah (?) had 11 children, one of them named Jordan . The other possibility is James Spivey born 1775, fought in the War of 1812. He and his wife, Elizabeth Jane Locke, had about 12 children but I don't know their location. Can anyone help me?

I am trying to find a mention in an old newspaper of a marriage that took place in June of 1915 between James Monroe WOOTEN of Shellman, Georgia, and Gladys BRAMLETT of Decatur. Are there newspapers available for this era and is there someone who can do a lookup?
