FARLEY families in Meriwether Co., in 1860 and later; perhaps earlier. T. J., b. 1826; m. Nancy C. BRILEY(?), b. abt 1834; children John M., Mary Francis, Nancy Delaney, Thomas, James Matthew, William A. Most of the children went to Texas in 1870s. What happened to T. J. and Nancy? Possible brother George W., b. abt. 1820; m. Louisa MARSHALL, b. abt 1825. George was killed in 1864 in Petersburg; Louisa received Confederate pension until 1898 but I can find no record of her death. Any information on these families welcome.

Searching for the parents of Roy MOONEY. In the 1930 census of Meriwether Co. his age was listed as 28. Have searched the 1920 census, no luck. Thanks.

Does anyone know where I could find a list to see if Abner REEVES was a member of the Georgia House of Representatives from Meriwether Co in 1841?

I am responding to the queries placed in 2000 and 2003 regarding MANES. NOTE: The emails no longer work. I am the grandson of W. H. MANES. The best I can tell he had a brother named Oscar and both were MD's. William Henry MANES, my grandfather, died in 1935/1936 outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma. More exactly Owasso, Oklahoma or Collinsville, Oklahoma, depending on your map at the time. I have some information of the family and will share. You may reach me at 918-809-7325. Owasso, Oklahoma is my home town. Regards,

Looking for the gravesite of Joseph Lawrence GODWIN. We believe he died sometime around 1945 somewhere in Warm Springs, GA. His daughter, my grandmother, would like to visit his grave one more time before she dies. She has trouble remembering, so we don't have much info. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Spouse Jewell wife 33 Alabama

Beatrice daughter 10 Ga

Idell daughter 4 Ga

I need to know more info on Jewell and the girls. I know Beatrice married a Thornton and Idell married a Bunn and was in Griffin, Ga when their dad died in May 1969 according to his obit. I would like Jewell's date and place of death and maiden name, parents' name. I didn't get a chance to pull the actual census, which I desperately need. If you can help I would greatly appreciate any and all. Thanks.
