Greetings - I am looking for someone who has access to the local newspapers for Jefferson/Leon Co. Florida and Thomas Co., GA cir. 1829. I am looking for obits for James and Anna BROOKS who lived in that area during that time. Also related to Richard and Nancy Burney of the same area, but a little later, civil war era. I don't know the names of the papers that circulated in those days. I do have a couple of names though. The Thomasville Register of Thomasville, GA., The Florida Sentinel of Tallahassee, FL., The Family Friend of Montecello, FL, The Thomasville Times of Thomasville, GA,The Weekly Times Enterprise and South Georgia Process of Thomasville, GA. Also any newspapers from the Sandersville area in Washington Co. would be helpful. One more area as well... Carrollton Plantation, Lake Providence, LA. There were Burney and BROOKS ancestors there as well... any newspapers from the late civil war period to the 1890's would be helpful. Thank you for your time...
