Looking at my original post (see below), the people in the first two sections--all but one--are either "mulatto" or "black." The people in the last section are either known white slavewoners of the persons named in sections 1 and 2, are a slaveowner's married relations, or had some kind of working affiliation (as found in documents). As you'll see, I'm looking for all kinds of folks. Amazingly, they all lived in Macon Country for periods that extended beyond just one generation, almost five generations, from about 1830 to the present. Now, you'll all know about as much as I know about these people!. So, with some of your input, maybe I can start to put some closure on some of these lineages. I am particularly interest in the white families of John A. GREEN and H.A. LANE; I want to find the slaveowner of Mary A. Lewis; and, I need a-n-ything that will help me to identify Sallie Lennard's origins, her family...any documents listing slaves: wills, bills of sale, returns, appraisals, deeds, inventories, rental receipts or leases, etc., could contain answers. These have been my brick walls. Any info. will be greatly appreciated.

(unless stated otherwise), from around 1830: 1.) My direct lineage: My gggrandparents... HARPER: Ishmael > Mattie > Jule > Jennie (my mother) GREEN: Angeline m. Ishmael > same kids Ishmael and Angeline had about 7 children, most of whom were female. Of three males, only the descendant lineage of Robert is known. There are more descendant "Harpers", as the women did not all marry, but had children who carried their mother's name. LANE: H.A. (?) AKA "Jack", parents/sibs. are unknown; unmarried partner to Mattie, daugher of Ishmael and Angeline, above. Jack Lane was white. ... possibly "Henry Alonzo"... a guess. SPEED (from Bullock Co.): Charlotte (b. GA, abt. 1810) > L.S. (b. GA) > Olin > Carrie > m. Jule Harper, above (my grandparents); L.S. married Harriett/Hattie _(blank)_ . LENNARD (from Bullock Co.): Sallie AKA Sally Leonard; m. Olin Speed; believed to be all or part Native Am...probably Creek....have almost no information on Sallie. 2.) Known aunts, uncles, cousins or inlaws: LEWIS, Mary A.-mother of Ishmael, above. FITZPATRICK, Jesse: brother of Ishmael WALTON, Nellie -sister of Ishmael. HARRIS, Elizabeth: sister of Ishmael, above. Spouse or employer is Dr. William Harris. CHAPPELL: Ami/Amy, m. Robert Harper, son of Ishmael & Angeline, above.CLOUD: ...hmmm. ... married to daugher of Ishmael & Angeline. Not sure which, possibly "Lucy". 3.) Collateral/associated surnames; ... not necessarily related by blood***, but are linked in some other way (business or neighborhood) to the above direct relations: FITZPATRICK, et. al. Elam/Mary B.- slaveowner family of ancestor HARWELL-slaveowner family member via marriage JONES-possible name of ancenstor's slaveowner (unproven) via marriage GREEN, John A.-slavewoner of ancestor HARPER, A.S.-slaveowner of ancestor DRYER, Eliza/Elizabeth-slaveowner of an ancestor DRISKILL, Peter- slaveowner of an ancestor MARQUIS, George-slaveowner family member THOMPSON-slaveoner family associate, an attorney STOREY, Chester-employer of slave descendant, thought to have emplyed Ami Chappell, wife of Robert Harper (son of Ishmael and Angeline). LEWIS (Unknown)-believed to be slaveowner of an ancestor... (unproven) could be a spouse's name WALTON (Unknown, possibly Peter W.) -possible name of ancenstor's slaveowner (unproven) ... *** All are either documented slaveowners or in kinship with a slaveowner known to have owned one or more of the individuals in the first two categories. So, you see, I'm looking for all kinds of folks. Amazingly, they all lived in Macon Country for periods that extended beyond just one generation. Now y'all know about as much as I know about these people! Any info. that expandes upon or confirms the above will be greatly appreciated. Annette
