What are these mission schools? I have family from Cowetta Co GA who ended up in Coosa Co AL. Perhaps my folks would be involved in this too. Wiggins, Gunn, Hill? Jeanne Swanstrom [email protected]

Hi, everyone. Does anyone have info they can share or have access to records about the mission schools in GA and AL, particularly the one in Coosa County, AL? I'm looking for info on who was enrolled, like an enrollment list of names by year, and people who lived in Coosa County in the early 1800s to 1835, especially those with surnames Willingham, Strong, Owen, Herring. Some of these families also had members who lived in Coweta, GA and Chambers Co., AL. Thanks, Laurie ...»º@º«....»º@º«....»º@º«....*@*....»º@º«....»º@º«....»º@º«... Laurie L.

Hello, Dr Bob the other voice thank you for the information, however i am only interest in coosa county right now because my father and his sister who are from sylacauga, coosa county say that their grand father was name George Suttles. Do you know where the name Suttles originated from???

Thanks, Gloria

George Suttles married Millie was a geche indian also Becky these ancestors of mind are black, so its unlikely that George was a merchant. George had a son name Levester who was my fathers fathers. My grand mothers name was Mary Hales she was a chreek indian. Was Issac W. Suttle a white man or black man????

Name is George Suttles was a farmer around 1885, any information would be appreciated!

Thought this might intrest someone. Sent to other lists. Joy Bracewell Barnwell County, SC Researching Georgia: BRACEWELL/CROSS/DIXON/PORTER/LEWIS and many of their braches. HistoryDaily.com - An Entertaining Look Back By Charles Smith and Trevor Smith July 30, 2002 on this day: In 1864, during the American Civil War, the Battle of the Crater occurred during the Union siege of Petersburg. Facing a Confederate artillery position, the 48th Pennsylvania regiment persuaded General Ulysses S. Grant to allow them to dig a tunnel and place explosives under the Confederate position. Many of these men were miners and were convinced that such an explosion would devastate the rebels. They succeeded in blasting a crater sixty feet wide in the Confederate line. After that, however, everything went wrong. Union solders rushed into the crater, but were disorganized and their commander was in the rear drinking rum. Many of the rank and file were among the first African-Americans to fight for the Union. Once in the crater they became easy targets for the Confederates, who surrounded them. Almost all of the Union soldiers were killed.

I am still looking for any family researching the Lewis Patterson-married Lydia Wills in 1844. I am unable to find this family on any census. It is like they dropped off the face of the earth.I have searched, even the Alabama cemeteries for them.Thanks to the Johnson's for being so nice and helpful---to make me a copy of the marriage certificate in Rockford courthouse!! I was hoping for a family name to be on it. It was witnessed by a Cleveland. That is more puzzleing. Who was he? No Clevelands in my Willis family. The only Willis family in Coosa at the time was my GrGrandfather's brother, Wilborn, who I suspected to be Lydia's brother, now I don't know. Thanks for reading this. Stella

I am looking for anyone who is researching the family of James Lewis who married Francis Malinda Bryant and the following children: Mary, Felix Sample, and David Thomas Lewis. I also have a James Lewis that I cannot find any descendants. Here is what I have below. I believe that these may be the same James. My James Lewis was born most likely in Lincoln County, North Carolina and migrated with his family to Heard County, GA. Then some of the same family came to Coosa County and mainly lived around the Quinsey/Lewis Beat area. Any help would be appreciated. Leanna Hewitt Holmes Descendants of George W. Lewis 1 George W.

I am trying to locate the children of Oscar Lee Teal and Hattie Elizabeth Grimes. The children were referred to in the family records as F.M. and V.O. Teal ( both male). It is possible that the "m" stood for "Martin" and the "O" stood for "Oscar". Oscar Lee( born 1881- died 1949) and Hattie ( 1882-1962) are both buried at the Weogufka First Baptist Church. I have been told that Oscar Lee Teal was a school teacher in Coosa County. I also believe that F.M. or V.O. married and had a daughter named Anna Teal by a photo that I found. Any help would be appreciated. Leanna Hewitt Holmes

I am looking for information on the family of Will Green who married Ida North Grimes on December 24, 1899 in Coosa County. I cannot locate where they are buried and if there were any children born to them. Ida North Grimes was born March 10, 1880 and died in 1963. I believe I heard that Will Green had a leg that had been partially amputated and used crutches. It is very likely theat they left Coosa County for a period of time to farm in Oklahoma. Thank You, Leanna Hewitt Holmes

Hi, In Columbus, GA in the 1800's we had the Clapp Factory on the banks of the Chattahoochee River. Close by the Clapp Village was built for the factory workers. Later a cemetery was placed on the hill over-looking the Charrahoochee. The Clapp Cemetery records seems to be lost. Known buried: Mary Catherine Skipper (b. Nov 28, 1825 - d. Sep 10, 1880) daughter of Isaac W. Woods and Eliza/Elizabeth Patterson, wife of Jacob S. Skipper (son of Silas S. Skipper and Esther/Ester) John P. Lewis (B. Dec 12, 1812 - D. Feb 10, 1886) Grave of a child, J.F. Cain no dates Other family names rumored to have been buried there: Hopkins, Miller, Warren, Watson (several years back Ms Watson told other locals she had 14 family members buried in the cemetery) and Bird. There are suppose to be 20 Confederate soldiers from Georgia and Alabama there. Also American Indians and Slaves are buried there. The reason for the email is the land the cemetery is on was purchased in the 1920's by Georgia Power. Georgia Power feels it is not their responsibility to take care of the cemetery and that is a job that the families should be doing. At this point in time, I need to attempt to find as many descendants of the deceased buried in Columbus Georgia's forgotten Cemetery. Ultimately we would like to have the cemetery cleaned to the point that descendants could actually visit the graves. The cemetery is a jungle. This is a job that will have to be tackled during fall or winter. It is also a monumental undertaking. . . there is no way this would be a day's work. I have already been in touch with several descendants, several local Historic societies, several local historians, Sons of Confederate veterans, and Daughters of Confederate Veterans asking for guidance and help. So far all agree, if it can be done it will be monumental. But if you look at it as being part of your heritage to take care of your ancestors graves and we all work together, we could make the Clapp Cemetery a true resting place for those buried in a beautiful place so long ago. You are taking to time to find out where you came from. . . we are all story telling of our family history. . . add a chapter as to how you help save a forgotten resting place of loved ones. Thanks for taking the time to read my email. . . if you know or think you have family members buried in the Clapp Cemetery in Columbus, GA, please let me hear from you. If you know any decandants, please pass the message on to them.

Dates should read: ... 1850 Chickasaw Co, MS .... assume Hannah died before 1860 ... Hannah not listed in the 1860 Yalobusha Co MS I am searching for information on the death of HARRIS SPEIR b abt 1801 Jackson Co, GA. he is the son of John Speir & Rachel Bagby of Pike Co GA He was married to HANNAH COKER in Bibb Co AL, dau of Philip Coker. HANNAH ae 47 was listed in the 1950 Chickasaw Co, MS, census in son-law-home Isaac Thacker Bailey and daughter Marian Speir household along with her youngest children, Mahaley 21, George Washington, 19, Henry Harris 17, and Thomas Wilson 12.
