The name of Putnam County has come up a lot when related to the Anglin family. I must search further, but I think the portion of Putnam County where they lived is now in Twiggs County today. The "Aunglin" spelling of Anglin is not surprising since they spelled phonically as it sounded to them. Kathryn might not have been able to write her name or to correct it. Or, the clerk wrote it and did not show it to them to correct. Genie, how does your line run from Randolph (Randall) Blackshear? If you will, begin with Randolph and list the generations down to you. Okay? Thanks for your reply!! Steve Elliott
