Hi all, I just subscribed to the Atwell board Saturday evening, I was going to wait and read a few messages before I jumped in, but havent seen any yet!! Anyway here goes. Ny name is Russell Jones, I live in Lizella, Ga. The Atwells that I am researching are George W. Atwell married to Sarah Keel. The only info I have on George is from the obituary of their children. Sarah Keel was born abt 1841, in Georgia, Alabama, or Ireland depending on which obit you read and died April 27, 1908 in Macon Ga. Their children are Anna b 1860, Josephine b 1864, Mattie b 186, Jessie b 1868, George Dorris b 1870, and James William b 1877. Sarah is listed in the 1880 Upson Co., Ga. census with children all listed as born in Ga. There is no record of George in 1880. Around 1888 they move the family to Macon. I have found a listing for George W. Atwell married to Sarah Peterson Feb 1850, but if this Sarah is mine she would be 9 years old. Also George is listed as marring Mary Jane Peterson in 1848, probably a sister. Well thats my story, and I am STUCK.
