| Barnard, Germany, Heard, Fraser | Unknown | Robert C. Johnston, Jr |
I have discovered evidence
in my research that Edward Barnard, the infamous Indian Trader, and early
land owner in the old town of Augusta, may be related to my Barnard Heard
family of neighboring Wilkes County and Robert Germany family of Columbia
and Richmond Counties and Augusta, Georgia early history. I would like to
locate more evidence and facts about the relationships between Edward Barnard
and his wife Henrietta Fraser, daughter of James and Margaret Fraser, and
the Germany family, in particular, James Germany who married Margaret Fraser
after the death of her husband, and Robert Germany, brother of James Germany.
The Germany family of Augusta and the Heard family of Wilkes County were
connected in many ways, with two Heard brothers, Maj. Barnard Heard and
Gov. Stephen Heard, marrying two daughters of Robert Germany, Nancy and
Jane respectively. Since Edward Barnard, Robert Germany, Barnard Heard and
Stephen Heard are deeply imbedded in the early history of Georgia, the town
of Augusta, the fighting with Indians, and the Revolutionary War, I strongly
feel there was a deeper relationship between these men and their families. |

| Lyle, Shannon | Unknown | Lisa Lyle Vimmerstedt |
I am interested in any deeds or land owned by Robert Taylor Lyle in the early 1900's (probably around 1906) or his father in law Elbridge Gerry Shannon. I know that they lived in Martinez, Georgia and had several children born there from about 1906 until 1915 when they left Martinez, GA and moved back to Lexington, KY. I was just wondering how in the world they decided to move to Martinez---it might have been that the Shannons had some land there and when Elbridge Gerry Shannon died in 1906 then his daughter Mayme Shannon Lyle and her husband Robert Taylor Lyle moved down there to be with her mother. |
