Stephanie, Would love to help, but Georgia didn't record birth and death records until about 1919, except in some larger metropolitan cities. You might find a will or estate record in Coffee County which may pinpoint his date of death. Otherwise, a Bible record or headstone may be necessary. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, Linda in Georgia Census/Cemetery Lookup Volunteer Genealogy is my ONLY business. ----- Original Message ----- From: "joeandsteph" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 8:58 AM Subject: [GA-CEM] Seeking information/Thomas Hersey(1802-1907)GA > HI.. > I recently came across some new infromation from a reliable source on > Thomas Hersey who was my 3rd great grandfather. > Here is the information that I have: I thought he was born in SC now it > comes to light through this source that he was actually born in GA.
