I have a copy of a Searcy line from Henry or Barbour County. However, G.W. Searcy was born 1816 and died April 26, 1900 at the age of 64. There is no wife listed in the lineage. This George Washington was the brother of Brittain, W. H. Searcy, Lemuel Searcy, and James. They emigrated from N. C. to the vicinity of Lawrenceville, Henry Co., AL. According to the listing, other family members went to Baldwin Co, GA. This line came from England to Virginia. You are probably connected somehow.
