Phearby Thompson married Isaac Jackson Dyess. This was her second marriage. Her first marriage was to the brother of Isaac Jackson, name unknown. Her Mother was Mary Thompson. seeking any information. New information, In 1880 Phearby (between husbands) is living in Echols Co. with her brother. John C. Thompson. It has just been learned that this Thompson was a postmaster of Statenville. Since Phearby was born 1849, I assume the brother would have been postmaster in the late 1800's. It was also learned from the obit of Mary Thompson that she had 3 daughters and possibly another son. Phearby's Mother was Mary Thompson of Echols County, GA. One of Phearby's brothers was John C. Thompson who at one time was postmaster of Statenville, Echols co., GA. I appreciate hearing from anyone with any info. Thanks Faye >> Hi Faye! My data base for GA marriages only goes to 1850 so it would be impossible to find the Phearby Thompson marriage you want; however I did query THOMPSON for records in GA Marriages to 1850 and came up with 836 hits. Thought I might find out what Phearby's mother (Mary Thompson's maiden name was and name of husband) but there are to many to look at. I did see this "Phereby Thompson" on first page of hits: The name is Phereby Thompson (spelling of first name is different but thought this might be a sister or something of Phearby Thompson's father) If I can look up another name or you have more exact dates or names for any marriages to 1850 in GA , I will look up for you. I really like the help others have given me and am willing to give back. BTW: I have gotten several reponses to a query I posted HAWKINS in this GEORGIA_D list; more responses than any other list I have used. Thank you to all that have tried to help me.
