BENNETT SORRELLS was listed on the 1820 Madison County census as 16/26 years old. He died between the October 1824 Walton County, Georgia court session (see below) and a Newton County, Georgia court record, dated 12 February 1827. He probably died in DeKalb County,Georgia. Bennett married ROSANNAH STRICKLAND in Madison Couhty, 16 September 1819, ceremony performed by D.P. Jones, M.G. It is said that Rosannah was born 27 September 1795, and her sister, Mary Pauline Strickland,was born ca. 1793-94. [Mize, Threads of Ancestors]. They were daughters of BARNEBAS STRICKLAND who married Rachel (Mackie) Brixey, a widow, 10 Nov. 1787 [Ibid:213,214]. Barnabas Strickland was a minister in 1828 at the Teamon Baptist Church, Henry County, Georgia [Vessie T. Rainer. History of Henry County, Georgia. 1971]. Mary Pauline, Rosannah's sister, married Philip WARE of Madison County [Mize]. Barnabas Strickland died in Franklin County, Missouri,where his will was probated in August, 1840. The will may be ordered from Circuit Court of Franklin County, Probate Division, Union County, Missouri, 630844. The will names sons: Soloman and Ephraim Sttickland; daughters Mary Ware and Rosannah Avary(spelling used); stepsons: Thomas Brixey and John Brixey, and several servants. His wife is not named in the will; no grandchildren are named. This information was copied from a copy of the will from Union County. After Bennett Sorrells' death, Rosannah married (2) BENJAMIN AVERY. Benjamin is listed in the 1830 and 1840 DeKalb County censuses which I have not seen. October Term, 1824 Walton County minutes say Ridley Roberts sued Bennett Sorrells for $8,50. Since a person had to sue in the place of residence of the debtor, it is assumed that Bennett Sorrells was living in Walton County at that time. Some land that Bennett owned in Walton was sold from his estate in 1830, but no deed was found where he originally bought the land. Land he owned on Bluestone Creek in Madison County, originally granted to Barnabas Strickland, was also sold after his death. I have learned very little.about Bennett and his origins. His parents are unknown. His brother-in-law, PHILIP WARE, administered the estate in DeKalb County; co-administrator was his widow Rosannah Sorrells. After she married Benjamin Avery he became administrator in right of his wife. It was not possible to obtain a copy of the estate since DeKalb County, due to courthouse fires, has suffered the loss of many records of this time period. The orphans of Bennett Sorrells drew from Lokey's District, DeKalb County, in the 1827 Land Lottery, winning Lot No. 82, District 4, Coweta County, Georgia. Their names were not given on the grant, but the land was taken up and registered, showing they claimed it or sold it by 1843. Bennett lived in Madison County, Capt. Williford's District (same district Charles Sorrells was in) about 1820, with no land, but 3 slaves. He does not appear for later years. The name, Bennett, appears with great frequency in the families of William Alexander and Charles Sorrells (sons of Richard Sorrells) who were the only other Sorrells family living in Madison County during this period. Both Charles and William moved to Walton County by 1830. I have not found proof of a relationship between Bennett Sorrells and them. Can any descendants furnish further information? It is of note that Philip Ware is said to have been an uncle to Hamilton, George, and Burrell Ware, all sons-inlaw to Charles Sorrells [W.M. Wilder, Wilder and Connecting Familes, Especially Ware] 1969. Copy in Ga.Archives]. Please contact Thelma Faye Prince,

I have information on MORRIS, MOORE, of Dekalb county, Thanks, Debbie Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 Subject: HAYES & BOHANNON I am searching for info on my HAYES ancestors. We know JOHN FLETCHER HAYES married Selita Jane BOHANNON around 1858 and they were living in DeKalb Co as we have located them on the census for 1870 and 1860. We cannot seem tolocate info on John HAYES parents or. My sister found a grave in Decatur Cemetery which says JOHN HAYES - b.11-2-1751 and d. 6-17-1839. We also think Martha may have been a relative..possibly JOHN Fletcher Hayes' mother. We are stumped. We have also been searching for any confederate soldier records which may show John was in the army. We have found Martha and Selita Jane Hayes' names on a salt ration list. Selita (Selitha) Jane Bohannon was orphaned by Isaiah W.D. Bohannon some time around 1855 because we located a paper assigning a George K Hamilton as her guardian on 6/4 1855. Any info you can give us would be very much appreciated. We can find nothing more than what I have given you. Susan H. Black....email [email protected] Date: Tue, 03 Mar 1998 Edward L.

Date: Mon, 9 Mar 1998 Looking for descendants of James RAGAN. The 1870 census of Dekalb Co. has a James RAGAN. Hope that someone can help. Thank you, Linda Ragan Giles f[email protected] Date: Fri, 20 Mar 1998 I am researching the Jeremiah HICKS family of Stone Mountain, Ga. In the 1850 census a Jeremiah HICKS, age 12, was listed in the household of Milly Hicks, age 26. Another Jeremiah HICKS was listed as the head of household on that page as well as a Caly Jane HICKS, age 66, as the head of household in another dwelling. I am assuming that Caly Jane was the grandmother, the head of household Jeremiah was the uncle and the Milly, the mother of my Jeremiah HICKS. He married 1st an unknown Wilson and had Louisa Jane (my great great grandmother), Robert and Cola. His 1st wife apparently died and he remarried in 1868 to Nancy A. Pierce. She later applied for a widow's pension for his service in the Civil War. I do not know when Jeremiah (also known as Jerry and James) died or where he was buried. I think son Robert was buried in the Stone Mountain Village Cemetary. Louisa Jane married Robert Brewer and died in 1928. She is buried in Polk County, Ga. I am really intrigued with this line. Jeremiah had to leave his young children parentless during the Civil War. There must be some very interesting stories about them. Louisa owned property in Polk County (a sawmill) with her father-in-law and was attempting to protect his interest in his property with a handwritten will in the mid-1890's. Anybody know anything? Thanks for any help and interest! Carole Camp Johnson [email protected] (MRS ROBERT E WALLACE) Date: Fri, 3 Apr 1998 Subject: BENNETT Trying to find information on John BENNETT's family.

James Daniel MORGAN was born in Georgia, possibly in the Oak Grove District of Dekalb Co., Ga. His parents were possibly James and Sarah Morgan, found living near James Daniel and Amanda Morgan in the 1850 Census of Dekalb, Co., Ga. James Daniel Morgan married Amanda _______ circa 1841. Her parents are unknown. Together, James Daniel and Amanda had seven sons and three daughters. They were William A. (circa 1842), John T. (circa 1845), Mary L. (circa 1847), DANIEL HILL MORGAN (29 April 1849 - 24 Jan 1924) my wife's great-grandfather, Andrew Morgan (circa 1852), Silas M. Morgan (circa 1855), Rebecca A.

James Daniel is found in the 1850 Census of Dekalb Co, the 1860 Census of Fulton Co. and the 1870 Census of Fulton County. Any information would be appreciated. James E. Skelton, 4219 Santa Rita, ElPaso, Texas Date: Mon, 09 Mar 98 Subject: Powell Cabin @ Stone Mountain State Park I had the privilege of visiting Stone Mountain State Park a couple of weeks ago. I had the opportunity to see the Log Cabin that was supposedly used as a pioneer medical office for Dr. Chapmon Powell in his early practice in Decatur. Unfortunately, there was very little information relative to the origins of the cabin. I'm sure this information must be available somewhere. For example, where was the cabin when it was removed from Decatur, Ga.? Was this this a previous residence, perhaps the old homeplace of my g-g-greatgrandfather Naman Hardman. It is documented that Naman Hardman was in Decatur before Dr. Powell and his wife, a sister of Naman, settled there. My ancestor Naman Hardman sold his property in Decatur to Dr. Powell in 1840. I guess my query would be: The old log cabin used by Dr. Chapman Powell as a Doctor's office is on display at the Stone Mountain State Park. Does anyone know the exact area from which this cabin was removed before being put on display at Stone Mountain? I am trying to determine the origins of this old log cabin. Alfred C. Ellis [email protected] [email protected] Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 Subject: Martins Wm R Martin-b-1805 in Decatur, GA. Now I don't know if that's city or county or are they both the same? I think he was married there too---to Deliah White or Hamby . I know those last names of Deliah don't even compute; but who knows which it is. I have that they were married maybe in "Newton"? GA. The date was Jun 27, 1828. That's abt the one thing I am sure of right now. I know Wm and Deliah were in Decatur at least 'til 1829. I have that their first son was born there then.

Wallace Jr [email protected] Date: Mon, 15 Jun 1998 Subject: George B. and Harriet White Looking for George B. and Harriett WHITE who were in DeKalb County in 1830. They had two children, Amanda born abt 1826 and Wiley Sanford born 1830. George was 33 years old and Harriett would have been about 23. Do not have Harriett's family name or the date and place of their marriage. He was in Morgan County in 1820, 23 years old and not married so they were probably married about 1825 based on the age of Amanda.

During this same time, Jesse sold land to his eldest son, Lewis W. Spear, who later sold it and moved to Jonesboro. I am searching for the father of Jesse Spear (born around 1802) or any descendents of Lewis W. Spear, who was the brother to my great grandfather, Elbridge Spear. The Spear family property and name appears on a map of the Battle of Atlanta during that time. It was very close to the old railroad depot, and is close to where the cyclorama is now in Atlanta. If you have any connection to the Spears, please contact me. My name is George Spear. Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 Subject: BAKER I'm looking for some help on solving a puzzle. My grandfather left my father when he was very young. Per my great uncle, his brother changed his name from Howard Williams to Roy Baker. It is believed by the family that he married Onie Baker and had one child Roy Baker Jr. It is also believed that Roy lived in Augusta, Ga. from 1940 to 1945. He then moved to Altanta. From there, no one knows. The other day I did a search on Onie Baker against the Social Security Death index and it came up with one who died in DeKalb County, GA. Her date of death is listed as April 9, 1994. She was born Dec 28, 1909. I was wondering if someone can take a look in the local newspapers for anobituary. I'm hoping the obit references a Son, Roy Baker Jr., and where he currently lives. I know this is asking a lot but I'd like to determine if the stories are true.

Ervin Newman Joe Herring [email protected] Date: Sun, 28 Jun 98 I have been researching the family Prichard or Pritchard for the last six years. I have traced the family to the 1840 Georgia Census for Dekalb County. I am looking for the husband of Elizabeth Prichard who was listed in 1840 as the head of house. She and her five children were living in the Browning Distict. She was born in South Carolina as was her first son, Robert, born in 1829. I do not know if she and her husband were in Georgia or South Carolina in 1830. In 1850, she is listed as a Hayes, evidently having been widowed again. I have been unable to find either of her husbands. This family migrated to Pulaski County, Arkansas, after the Civil War. Elizabeth and three of her children died in Arkansas, and are buried near where I live. Her youngest son, John, stated on the 1900 Arkansas Census, his father was born in England. I would like to find her first husband, as I think he was the first Prichard in this country. I would appreciate any information or advice you could give me. Thanks.

WHITLOCK I am searching for information on Henry WOOLF, his wife Rebecca BRUCE, their son, Carlton WOOLF and his wife, Elvira T. WHITLOCK. It is my understanding that these people lived near and were possibly related to Cary P. Woolf of DeKalb County. They came to DeKalb County in the mid-1820's from Greenville, South Carolina. Rebecca, Carlton and Elvira then moved to Benton/ Calhoun County, Alabama by 1840 (based on the 1840 U.S. Census). It is possible that Henry Woolf died while living in DeKalb County. His whereabouts after leaving Greenville are rather vague. If anyone knows anything about the Woolf family in Georgia, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.

In 1860, he is in his son's household in Lowndes Co., MS, age 66. Wife returned to Wilkes Co. alone. No more records we can find, but family lore says he is buried in STONE MOUNTAIN. Before Dekalb, he was in Wilkes Co., where in 1832 he participated in the Gold Lottery--he had 2 draws worth 160 acres each.

From reading old family bible...and using my Family Tree Maker...I found about a year ago that my great-great grandfather, David Adams Cook married Nancy Williams Collier in Decatur GA July 24, 1851...her father was from North Carolina...her mother from Decatur...have traced her family several generations... in fact I have traced every branch of my family pretty well...except for the Cook side... (Hurt Park in Atlanta is named for a relative on my mother's side...she was a Hurt...) From David Adams Cook's son's obituary in the ATLANTA GEORGIAN in 1903...it says he was the son of Major David Adams Cook...which to me indicates that David may have been in the civil war...it does not indicate if David Cook was still alive at that time... It is frustrating to trace everyone but the Cook branch...I have the census page of 1860 showing the household was in Decatur when David Adams Cook was 29...Nancy was 28...and my great-grandfather was 6... if I could get some old Atlanta newspapers around the turn of the century I believe I would find David Adams Cook's obituary...are any available on microfilm? I do not know if the Cook family was in Decatur for several generations or not... David Adams Cook's grandson, David Otis Cook (my grandfather) married Augusta Mae Pounds from Stone Mountain...I have traced the Pounds a few generations...

Oct 19, 1828, d Aug 15 in Bennington Okla. There was a daughter Elizabeth King b. June 23, 1850 in Atlanta Georgia D. 2-11. 1939 in Bennington Okla. Elizabeth King was married on July 03, 1881, in Fort Smith Ark to Ralph F. Hill. We know that they followed the westward movement by river travel as opposed to the covered wagon trains by land On the rivers that had "BullBoats" Pirogues and later the Keel Boats, Flat Boats, Flat Boats and Steam Boats. Thomas King chose the big flat boat and loaded family and belongings aboard. They traveled up the Mighty Mississippi river on into the much traveled Arkansas. They unloaded at Fort Smith, where they came ashore to find a permanent home. Fort Smith was an important place in the history of Oklahoma . Except for one year it was abandoned as a military post from 1824-1838, though even during that time it was a well known trading center. Ralph Hill and Elizabeth King marriage certificate in Fort Smith list them both as being from the County of Skulleyville and Choctaw Nation. We do not think they were Indian but involved in the trading. There were other children born to the Kings in Okla. however some remember Susannah saying her family was from England. I would appreciate any help that you might give me or directions that I might take in finding info on the Thomas W King, Susannah E Fowler or esp Elizabeth King since we know that she was born in Atlanta. todd palmer [email protected] Date: Sun, 16 Aug 1998 I am trying to locate the parents of David Hudson born 3/4/1820 in dekalb county Ga, Do you have any resources to locate this info? thank you Hulsey [email protected] Date: Mon, 17 Aug 1998 Subject: Hulsey Cemetery..??

information on the ancestors and siblings of Robert Bowie WADSWORTH
(1857 GA - 1918 TX). According to a family member, his mother's
maiden name was BOWIE. I think I have found his parents and grandparents
in the 1850 and 1860 GA censuses. In the 1850 DeKalb Co., GA
census, there is a houshold headed by Walter WADSWORTH (49 CT?),
with wife Nancy (52 SC) and son? William (20 GA). Also in DeKalb
Co. is a household headed by Jane E. BOWIE (40 SC), with daughter?
R. (18 SC)--who could be Rosa of the 1860 census--as well as
three younger children. In the 1860 Cobb Co., GA census, there
is a household headed by W. L. WADSWORTH (32 GA?), with wife
Rosa (28 SC) and son R. B. (3 GA), as well as four other children.
Does anyone have information that can verify these are the people
I'm trying to find? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
