Dad was born on January 20, 1918. Hence my quess at the 1894 or 95 birthdate. While
digging in the Newton County genealogy library just happened on an old tax book of sorts.
The name and only a name "Jesse CLAY" was listed in Oglethorpe County. The date

Fuller 1 Feb 1997
I have several people who were to have been in Oglethorpe County. James Wales COLQUITT
and his wife Margaret Temperance Susan HAMPTON moved from Virginia to Oglethorpe County
where they died. I have the death dates as 26 October 1841 for him and 10 October 1863 for
her. They are to have been buried in the Colquitt Cemetery. Do you have any idea where
that could be?
This couple had 6 children but I only find information on the one we have as our
ancestor, Jonathan COLQUITT. He was born in Virginia and married Sarah Susan BANKS either
in Oglethrope or Upson County Georgia. He died in Upson County.
At some point Jonathan and his wife Sarah Susan BANKS lived in Oglethrope County as
their son, William Howard COLQUITT was born there in 1825.
I feel like I have a lot of gray areas. Some I am not sure if they material I have is
correct or not. I would appreciate any verification you can offer.
Thanks you so much for your assistance.

CUNNINGHAM, ANTHONY Steve
Cunningham 3 Mar 1997
Hi, I'm researching the CUNNINGHAM's of Oglethorpe County, Georgia. They came to Texas
about 1880 from Lexington, Georgia. Somewhere while there, they married into the
BURKHALTER Family. My Great Grandmother's maiden name was Mary Anne (or Anna) ANTHONY. The
ANTHONY's were also from Oglethorpe County. Still a mystery to me why Johnson Franklin
CUNNINGHAM pulled up roots in 1880, and came to Texas.
According to the 1870 Census, he declared property valued at $1500. Not a poor man.
It's said that at that time, Texas was considered the Promised Land, and many emigrated
here. I have the Family mostly complete in all following generations, after they came
here. There are a few CUNNINGHAM's I can't locate, yet. If you have any resources to help,
I'd sure appreciate it.
Thanks again.

DAVIS, SEMMES, BIGGERS Robin
Eisenhower 9 Apr 1997
Hello, My name is Robin Eisenhower and I am requesting your help in information about
my family. I am specifically looking for any connection to the Jefferson F. DAVIS family,
as I have been told that we are distantly related. Here is the information I have. If you
can go further back to find what foreign country we came from, that would also be helpful.
I would also be interested in any interesting, amusing or otherwise, anecdotes regarding
to my family and their actions. I would be most interested in finding out how Uncle Twitt
got his name! I appreciate any assistance you can give me in this matter.
Isham DAVIS was my gr-gr-gr-grandfather. It seems he served in the Revolutionary War
and was given bounty land in Oglethorpe County for his service. He had a son named Pryor
Lansford DAVIS, born 2/6/1813 and died 6/2/1890. I do not have information on brothers or
sisters. He was an extensive slave holder and plantation owner in the county. It has been
said that the house slaves led Pryor's second wife, Jerusha BIGGERS, and the younger
children to safety during Sherman's March. I have been told that all the buildings on the
property, save the slave quarters, were burned. Pryor had several children: married
Elizabeth SEMMES- (during 1850 census of 66th Division)
James age 15
Ison Jackson (or Isom or Isham) age 13 (died in Shelby
County, Texas)
Sarah age 11 (married Julius Garrett)
William age 9 (killed in 7 days fight around Richmond)
Mary age 7 (married and spent her life in Georgia)
Charles age 5
Robert age 3
Zachariah age 6 months (my gr-grandfather)
an 1860 Census showed the following in residence
married Jerusha BIGGERS-
Charles age 14 (killed in Battle of Williamsburg)
Mary age 16
Zachariah age 10 (moved to Center, Texas)
John age 6 (moved to Bivins, Texas) as
Nathan age 1 (he was nicknamed Uncle Stump for losing both
arms in the War)(became a prominent man in Andersonville)
There is also mention of other children: Wylie- died in New Orleans and was a
legislator Henry B.- nicknamed Uncle Twitt, became a prominant man in Andersonville. Both
these children were Elizabeth SEMMES'
There is a story that Pryor served after the War as a member of the Louisiana Assembly
and kicked down the door of the House when the Carpetbag Legislature was expelled by the
Democrats of the State. Isom Jackson enlisted as a 2nd Lt. Company K 66th Georgia Regiment
of Infantry during the War. He enlisted as a Sergeant and was wounded July 2, 1864. Both
Robert and Isom are believed to be Confederate pensioners.
I am also looking for the location of the plantation and family graveyard, if any. It
was said that Pryor's grave was in the family cemetary, not too far from the house.
Any information you can provide will be most helpful. From what I have heard from
family members, we have a colorful family history and it is certainly exciting to me to
see history come alive in my ancestors and their deeds. You can e-mail me at
[email protected] or snail mail me:

EAST, ELKINS, GARROTT Cathy
Farris 26 Dec 1996
EAST, Elizabeth born 1762 in Virginia. Married William ELKINS in Henry County, Virginia
1783. I need proof of her parents. I believe them to be James EAST, Sr. and wife Eussan.
They all lived in Henry County, Virginia then moved to Oglethorpe County, Georgia.
William ELKINS and James EAST were on a few land records together so I think James is
father to Elizabeth. The problem is she died about 1809 in Beaver Dam Oglethorpe. She
outlived her father. So she is not named in his will. I don't have his will, would like to
know where he died.
My ancestor Erwin ELKINS is son of Elizabeth and William ELKINS. After the death of
Elizabeth EAST, William married Amelia GARROTT in 1814 in Oglethorpe County, Georgia.

Exodus from Oglethorpe County Park Gerdine 26
Mar 1997
In the 1840's I have found records of several families, including my great grandfather
who left Oglethorpe County and moved to Mississippi. I have been unable to determine the
reason for the move. As my ancestor was a planter, I wonder if it had anything to do with
climate of soil conditions. Do you have any information?
Thank you,

FARRAR, BARNETT Lavin F. Farrar 11
Dec 1996
John S. FARRAR. He married Dorcas BARNETT in Oglethorpe County on March 7, 1799.
Several children were born. One son named James Wade FARRAR born circa 1805 in
Oglethorpe County. A possible daughter born, Martha Ann FARRAR, born ca 1800 in Oglethorpe
County. Found on 1798 Tax Digest in same county. Know nothing about John S. FARRAR prior
to 1798. He deceased 1820 or before. His family was found in Morgan County about 1820.
Would appreciate new information if someone can add to what is already known.
John S. FARRER was in Oglethorpe County, at least from 1798-1810 as evidenced by
marriage record, federal census and tax records. He was listed in the 1804 Land Lottery,
by drawing #1076 and with two draws. Would there be any county records showing this land
grant if he was a successful recipient of a drawing? Phoeby FARRER was listed on this 1804
Land Lottery, by drawing #1023, two draws and a widow. Was she a relative of John S.
FARRAR and did she get a land grant through this 1804 land lottery? Any information on
either of these individuals would be appreciated.

GARRETT, GARROTT, LESTER, CLARK Cathy Farris 26 Dec 1996
GARRETT, James born about 1771 in Virginia. Married Amelia (Mealy) LESTER about 1794 in
Chesterfield County, Virginia. She is daughter of Amelia CLARK LESTER CHEATHAM, widow of
Josiah CHEATHAM who died 1793 in Chesterfield.
I have been searching for the father of James GARRETT and I believe him to be John
GARROTT of Chesterfield County, Virginia who was named on the will of Issac GARROT in
1775. There were two sons of John named, Samuel and James.
If I can connect my James GARRETT who died in Oglethorpe County, Georgia in 1811 ( I
have his will) I will be able to connect to the GARROTT line that dates back to early
1600's.
I have not been able to locate a marriage for James GARROTT and Amelia LESTER in
Chesterfield. They may have been married in a surrounding county, also the records may
have been destroyed. I have made a map of all the deeds with the involved names, CHEATHAM,
GARROTT, LESTER, CLARK, they all lived next to each other in Chesterfield. I feel I am
almost to the connect. If...if...if...I can connect James to John.
Can anyone help with one of these names or a lead?? Thank you.

HOWARD, FARRAR, HARTSFIELD, Family Cemetery Kathryn J. Hatcher 12 Jan 1997
We have an old farm in north Oglethorpe County. The families of Able HOWARD and his
mother Pricilla FARRAR HOWARD (a first cousin of Thomas Jefferson) may like to know that
these two were buried here in 1808. The farm includes a 1784 log cabin (still standing)
built by Able HOWARD and his brother. The log cabin is the first (and probably oldest)
house described in the book "Housing of Oglethorpe County, 1790-1860" by Ava D.
Rodgers.
The family of Berry HARTSFIELD (ancestor of Mayor HARTSFIELD of Atlanta, for whom the
airport was named -- or so I'm told) lived at this farm, probably in the log cabin, from circa
1808 - 1853 and perhaps until 1912. The records of Millstone Baptist Church in Oglethorpe
County show that Berry HARTSFIELD died in 1853. When I first walked into the cabin in
1993, a 1934 calendar was still hanging on the wall.

McLAIN Sherry Owens 9
Nov 1997
Nancy McLAIN, born December, 1790 in Georgia, married Jeremiah PIERCE 20 November 1805
in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. I believe her father may be either Thomas or William
McLAIN. Both Thomas and William McLAIN are on the Wilkes County, Georgia Militia Roll for
1789. Lewis PIERCE. father of Jeremiah PIERCE, is also on the Wilkes County Militia Roll
for 1789. Thomas McLAIN, William McLAIN, and Lewis PIERCE are also on the 1800 Oglethorpe
County, Georgia census. Thomas and William both have female children who would be the
right age to be my Nancy McLAIN. I would love to hear from anyone who may have information
about these families.
Thanks,

MARRS Gaylon West 9
Mar 1997
Looking for any and all information on the MARRS Family.
Katherine MARRS was listed as being born in Wilkes County in 1784. However, on a
scouting expedition during the summer of 1996, I found that the area of Wilkes County that
they lived in, is now in Oglethorpe County.
I visited the County Courthouse in Lexington the county seat of Oglethorpe County and
found that most all of the County Courthouse documents that date back any time at all,
were in deploreable shape.
I am interested in finding out if there are records of Oglethorpe County that might
contain Courthouse type records in another area. I hope that I will be back in Oglethorpe
County again this year, but I don't know exactly when that will be.
I am also interested in the reason why Wilkes County was so prominant in the late
1700's.
I found out that Hugh MARRS was in a Captain Diamond's Company in the late 1700's and
from that information determined that he was indeed in what is now become Oglethorpe
County .
Any information or records on the MARRS family in that area in the early days, would be
of great interest to me.
Thank you so very much for your time.
With warmest regards, I am :
Again thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Best always

Migration from Oglethorpe County to Mississippi Park Gerdine 30 Dec 1997
On a recent visit to Mississippi I learned the reason that in the late 1830's and early
1840's there was a significant migration from the southeastern coastal states to
Mississippi. The soil had been depleted of nutriants but most important, a treaty was
signed with the Indians so for the first time Americans were permitted to buy land west of
the Tombigbee River. This rich farm land sold for 25� an acre. My great grandfather as
well as many of his neighbors moved to Lowndes County during this period.
This may be of interest to some researchers.

beginning in 1802. He was reputedly an eloquent and persuasive preacher, but given to
enjoying the temptations of the flesh, and was ultimately defrocked and shunned. As
executor of several wills, he was frequently called into court for explain
inconsistencies. And I believe he may have been the father of my elusive ancestor, Lemuel
B. RHODES. Other children of Thomas RHODES were Heflin B., Samuel T., James, Richard and
Gracie, who married Daniel MORGAN in Oglethorpe County. Thomas RHODES was in Greene County
in 1823 and he died in Jasper County in 1832.

SORRELLS, SNEAD Thelma Faye Prince 25
Mar 1997
My oldest SORRELLS ancestor is Richard SORRELLS, born about 1744, Virginia and his
wife, Mildred SNEAD, born about 1746, who married somewhere in Virginia abt 1773, and had
two known children, William Alexander SORRELLS, born about 1774, Virginia and died prior
to May 1841, Walton County, Georgia, according to estate records and land records. William
married Dorcas SANDERS on 20 October 1797, Oglethorpe County, Georgia. Dorcas was born in
Surry County, North Carolina, 21 November 1779, the daughter of Sarah TULLY and James
SANDERS, Sr. who came to Oglethorpe County after the 1790 Surry County, North Carolina
census in which they were found. The other child of Richard and Mildred was Charles
SORRELLS, born December 1776, Virginia and died 12 July 1854, Walton County, Georgia.
He married (1) Elizabeth JONES, daughter of Anne BEASLEY and Russell JONES, who came to
Georgia in early 1790's from Wilkes County, North Carolina, but who originated in
Albemarle, Virginia. Richard SORRELLS served in the Revolution from Salisbury District of
which Surry County was a part, so I looked at the tax lists 1782 and found him there in
Captain Humphries' District and James SANDERS, Sr. was found there in numerous deeds and
land entries. Surry County Deeds were searched and found no deeds or land entries for
Richard, although he did have 100 acres in the tax list. The only record I have found for
him and his sons together was the undated Elbert County, Georgia tax list (which was about
1797) In April 1800, Richard bought 126 1/2 acres from James COLBERT, land on Scullshoal
Creek, Elbert County, Georgia. This land fell into Oglethorpe County later and Madison
County, Georgia later on when county borders were changed.
Anyway, this Richard has numerous descendants today in Madison and in Walton County
where Charles and William went about 1835 or so. Mildred died in Georgia about 1836. I
would like to find out who his parents were and where in Virginia they came from. More
information is available for anyone interested. In 1985 I published Our Southern
Ancestors which details Richard and Mildred's descendants. I have done some general
research in Virginia on SNEAD's and SORRELLS', but have been unable to find where my
ancestors fit in.

Stubblefield 27 Oct 1997
Hi, I'm looking for anything on who the parents of William Henry STUBBLEFIELD were.
William was born on January 1, 1793. He was born in Wilkes County but I believe sense
Wilkes County was originally much bigger and was later split up into many Counties that
William and his parents were originally from Oglethorpe sense other relatives seem to be
buried in Oglethorpe. William Henry STUBBLEFIELD died December 1, 1858 in Yazoo County
Mississippi and is buried in the Black Jack Cemetery in Yazoo. We have come to a dead end
any help would be so greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
Ronal Stubblefield

THAXTON Christy Jordan-Frank 11
Mar 1997
I am looking for information on a Rev. War veteran named James THAXTON. He drew land in
a lottery on 3 February, 1804 as a resident of Oglethorpe County. He is also found in the
tax records of Oglethorpe County for the years: 1805, 1810, and 1815. Sometime before 1827
he settled in Greene County (and is buried there), and appears in the 1830 census as a
resident of Greene County, aged 60-70 at that time. I am not clear if his status as a
resident of Greene County implies an actual physical move, or if county boundary changes
between Oglethorpe and Greene make it appear that way.
It appears he had a son named James THAXTON, Jr., also of Greene County, and perhaps
another son (Simeon THAXTON), but I am unaware of his spouse's name and of any other
children. I aim to clarify James THAXTON's relationship to other Virginia THAXTONs who
settled in Georgia, namely Charles THAXTON, Yelverton THAXTON, and Thomas THAXTON, all
brothers, and sons of William and Lucy (CLAY) THAXTON. Any information anyone can share
would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

lottery on 3 February 1804 as a resident of Oglethorpe County. He is also found in the tax
records of Oglethorpe County for the years: 1805, 1810, and 1815. I think he
"settled" in neighboring Greene County, but am not clear if this was an actual
physical move to another location, or if county boundary changes makes it appear that way.
Any info. anyone can share would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Has anyone seen the name: TOLBERT, Tapley B. in Oglethorpe County, Georgia? Tapley B.

to check this out. Others TOLBERT's living same vicinity on same census: Ozobn and Rollen
at #112, James #109, Miles #098, William #106. This info was passed on to me from

WILSON, RAY Donna 30

Am seeking anyone researching the WILSON family who lived in Oglethorpe County, Georgia
at least through 1804. James WILSON was a Millstone Creek neighbor of William and Mary
RAY, fomerly of Amherst County, Virginia, in 1798. This James WILSON may have been the
same James who married Margaret BOWLER 6 December 1786 in Amherst County.
January 6, 1804 Moses RAY married Polly WILSON;
Mar 3, 1804 William RAY married Patty WILSON.
William RAY, a Revolutionary soldier, then moved to Franklin County, Georgia about 1820
where he died in 1833. Patty WILSON RAY then lived with her son, John/Jehu who became her
guardian in 1855 in Union County, Georgia. Patty died in 1856 in Fannin County, Georgia.

I need the help of all you rooters out there. My ancestor Henry Talley WOODY showed up

JENNINGS from Henry County, Virginia. Henry served in the War of 1812 and died in 1814.
They named their only son Samuel Rockingham WOODY.
Are there any records from the War of 1812 that might tell where Henry came from?
Does anyone know of any Woody - Talley connections anywhere? Does anyone know of any
Woody's in Rockingham County, NC, NH, VA, or VT? Is there any other significance that the
name Rockingham might have?
Thanks for your help.
