I am looking for any information on a Marcus A. Stone from Dawson County.  He married an Eliza Lee also from Dawson County in 1866. Eliza was born Dec 6, 1843 and Marcus was born in Jan of 1844. He died in Dawson County around May 1, 1902.Below is all the information I have on him and would appreciate knowing parents, siblings, anything.

Marcus A. Stone was born Jan 1844 (from his application for allowance to the act of Oct 24th, 1887) and I suspect died in Dawson County Ga around May 1, 1902. I know for sure he was there March 5th, 1900 and would have been 56 at that point. The Dawson County Georgia document says"he was born on the -- -- th day of Jan 1844" and "is a bona fide citizen and a resident of Georgia, and has been continuously since the -- -- day of January 1844. That he enlisted in the military service of the confederate States (or the State of Georgia) during the war between the states and served as a private in the Company "I" of 52nd Regiment of Georgia Volunteers Bartons Brigade; that whilst engaged in such military service, and in line of duty in the State of Tennessee, on the -- -- day of December 1862 he was disabled or wounded as follows: "

the statement from M. A. Stone

While in line of duty at Knoxville, Tennessee, I took measles and was sent to hospital, where I staid some three or four weeks after which I rejoined my command and while in line of duty soon after returning from hospital I was exposed to severe cold and damp weather which caused a relapse of measles, and was sent to camp hospital where I remained for some weeks afterwards rejoining my command, but ever after was continually troubled with cough and weakness from said relapse of measles, said disease has greatly bothered me, rendering me unable to do manual labor, said disease continues to grow worse all the time.

then it says'

Deponent desires to participate in the benefits of the act approved Oct 24th, 1887, and the Acts amendatory thereof, and makes application for the allowance to which he is entitled for the year thereunder ending Oct 26, 1896.

Subscribed and sworn to before me, this the 5th day of March 1900.
Witnesses were John Woodall, Alexander Henry and James B. Byers that were in the same company with him but this is dated May 1927, in Madison County Arkansas...so I think this is his wife's Eliza's application for widow's pension since her daughter lived there.

There was a note folded up in this that said Marcus A. Stone served in 52nd regiment Co and was discharged about May 5, 1865. He died May 1st, 1902.
Thanks for your help.

• Looking for info on William Jack Turner. In 1900 Census from Lumpkin County, Hightower district, born March 1867. Father and Mother born in North Carolina. His 2nd wife is listed as Caroline (Marlow)-born Aug 1874-(married in Lumpkin Dec 24, 1895), his children by 1st wife is shown as Early-son-July 1889, William- son-Nov 1891, and Onie-daughter-April 1894. I have learned thru my family that William Jack Turner's first wife was buried near Amicalola, Dawson County. I assume that he and his 1st wife lived in Dawson. From the Dawson County Courthouse, I have learned that there are 2 men listed that could be him. William Jack Turner married Louvisa Harben-April 12, 1888. Also William Jack Turner married Liela Lingerfelt-Dec 22, 1887. One of these 2 is probably him since his 1st child was born in 1889. I am trying to determine which one is him. In 1910 Census William J. Turner with his wife Caroline, son Earley, and daughter Onie is listed in Jackson County, House District. In 1920 Census W. J. Turner with his wife Callie (Caroline), and 2 daughters by Caroline, Cantillery-8 years old, and Caldona-6 years old is listed in Barrow County, Chandlers District. I am looking for any info on all of the above. Onie is my grandmother. She married Marlin Gaddis. Any info on William Jack Turner's father or siblings would be greatly appreciated.

• What steps would I take to try to locate marriage records for Dawson, Hall, and Forsythe Counties? These records would be after 1870 and before 1880? I am trying to locate these records for Margaret Wallis, who married Luford Crow. Also trying to get marriage record for Elietta Wallis, who, I believe married a Jay.

He married Nancy Jane Wade who was born on Sept. 30, 187l and died June 7 or 8 1947 in Joanna, S. C. at age 76(probably born in GA but not sure where)..

Does anyone have any info on either of these? Am just getting started tracing my roots.
