I am continuing research on the Berry and Linnie Blackshear family of Davisboro, Wadley and Bartow, in Washington and Jefferson Counties, Georgia; circa (1870-1930). The children of this couple were Joseph, Lemuel aka Lim, Nemesis, Augustus my great grandfather, Edward aka Ned, Mary, Tabitha, William a Methodist Minister in Bibb County, GA, Betsy (Jackson), Jane (Reese), Tom, Sherrod, Lula, Daisy (Wadley), Walter, Cornelius aka Neal and Ellis. The names in parentheses are married names. I have located many of these family members though some appear to have been lost. Through the years some of this family expanded to surrounding counties while others remained in Washington and Jefferson counties. I have traced many of Berry and Linnie's grand children's families. If you are searching for these Blackshears, respond; I would like to share information with you. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
