I am looking for additional information regarding James Dorris and -his son- Jasper Newton Dorris. Jasper served in the confederate army during the Civil War (Company A, 22nd Regiment Georgia Volunteer Infantry). Jasper is my great grandfather. All leads are greatly appreciated. The following is excerpts from: The Dorris Family: Pioneers of Milton County (by Caroline Dillman from "The Alpharetta Revue") "James Dorris owned hundreds of acres of land in the Crabapple area and ran a store there. The customers who patronized his store included indians as well as whites. A list of persons who bought from and traded with James Dorris from 1835 to 1844 is included here. James Dorris was born in 1801 and died in 1877. He married Nancy Cook, an indian, who was born in 1799 and died in 1887. James Dorris was born in Abbeyville, South Carolina;later resided in Augusta, Georgia and in Jefferson Jackson County, Georgia; and eventually moved to what was originally Cherokee County but became a part of Milton County and is now part of Fulton County. His father, also James Dorris (probably Sr.)was originally from Holland and had two brothers, William and John. There seems to be no record of Williams descendants, and most of John's decendants settled in Douglas County, Georgia. The younger James Dorris, who had the store, was the father of eight children, four of whom died young and four lived to have children of their own. These latter four were W.C. Dorris, who married Mary Galehaugh;Permelia Dorris, who married W.D. Ruker; Elizabeth Dorris who married N.W.H. Cook; and J. Newton Dorris, who married Fannie Gillispie."

SPEAR
George Spear 14 Sep 1998
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1998 20:12:26 -0700 Lewis W. SPEAR lived in Douglas County, GA in 1880. He was 54 years old. His wife (probably his 2nd) was about 38. They had children: John A. J. Spear - 13 in 1880, Frances L. (daughter), 4 in 1880. He lived in district 1260. He lived in the southwest corner of the county where it adjoins Carroll County. Lewis is the brother to my great grandfather, Elbridge Spear. Lewis and Elbridge's father was Jesse Spear who lived in Jasper County, GA from around 1824 (?) until his death shortly after the Civil War. Lewis and his father owned land very close to the railroad station in Atlanta and oral history of the family states that the family had to flee when Sherman began his abominations in Atlanta. Am searching for any descendants of Lewis W. Spear and will share all information.

Jean Wallace 16 Jan 1999
In the 1880 Douglas Co. Census, William THOMPSON 54 b. SC, was listed with wife Christie A 50 GA, and children : Mahaly J. 25, Sarah A. 22. Thomas M. 17 and William's mother Sarah A. THOMPSON. Sarah A. was widow of Flanders THOMPSON. They were both listed in their son James' household in 1870 Carroll County, GA. It is possible that Flanders was the J. F.

Taylor
Ann Nicholas Wed Oct 2 19:39:23 1996
I am looking for the marriage record of Newton J. Taylor and Minerva J. ________? Newton J. was living in Carroll Co. on the 1870 census. On the 1880 census they lived in Carroll Co. and had several children. I believe that Minerva J. probably lived in an adjoining county and that is where they were married. There is no record of their marriage in Carroll Co. so I am searching the surrounding counties in hopes of finding a record there. The marriage probably took place around 1873. Thanks for your help.
