Christine, The scamps were not so elusive after all. I'm mailing you a ton of stuff on all of the Grimes and they're bringing the Mullins boys with them. In the meantime here's a goody for you. >From the History of Stewart County Georgia Volume II by Sara Robertson Dixon with Family Histories, Edited and Indexed by Agnew Hilsman Clark and Marean Moncrief Clark, published by A.H. Clark, Waycross, Georgia. The Grimes Family The Grimes family originally came from Baltimore Md. settling later in Winston-Salem, N.C., from whence two families came to Stewart County before 1830. The census of 1830 shows John Grimes with 10 in the household and Thomas Grimes with 3 in the household. It is probable that the brothers John and William B. Grimes, subjects of this sketch, were children in the family of John, shown with family of 10 in 1830, as both were m. later in Stewart County. It is possible that Thomas was also a son of John, Sr. John Grimes, b. 1803; N.C., d. after 1860. He m. Ann Eliza Grimes, Nov. 9. 1816; d. Mar. 18, 1860; they owned a large plantation in the 19th District; and after the pioneer days, built a lovely home (Note: I'm sending you pictures), typical of the southern architecture of that period, beside the main highway of that day, the Fort GAines road. It is still standing with its fine woodwork, brass door knobs, etc. They were large slave owners, 22 being listed in the 1850 census. He was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1857. He and his wife are buried in the nearby cemetery of Sardis Methodist church. Her grave is marked. There were six in the family in the 1850 census; John 42 years, b. N.C.; Ann Eliza 34 years, b. N.C.; Julia 15; John 12; Robert 11; and Joseph 6. Children: 1. Julia Grimes, the oldest m. Henry Feagin of Midway, Ala., son of James Feagin and Nancy Wadsworth. They lived at the home place after the death of the parents, and it became known as the Grimes-Feagin place. Six children: Mary m. Tom Hightower and went to Texas; Martha m. Wycliff Stokes; Robert went to Texas; one son Robert, Jr.; Jennie m. a McLain, 2 children; Joseph d. young; Jack was a cotton buyer, d. buried at Sardis Cemetery, is probably their son and named for her father and his grandfather, Samuel Feagin. 2. John Grimes, Jr., m. a girl from Barnesville. After the death of his parents he and Henry Feagin operated together the large plantation and a store near old R. J. Snelling home, known as Store Place. In the settlement of the estate later, Julia received the home place and 400 acres where they lived until their death and owned until recent years by descendants, and John Jr. received 600 acres of the rich farming land. 3. Robert James Grimes, b. 1839; d. Nov. 13, 1894; m. Eleanor Parthenia Overby, b. 1862; d. Dec. 12, 1890; dau. of Wm. Gustin Overby and Mrs. MAriah West Brawner. Both are buried in the Overby family cemetery. R. J. Grimes served in Co. K. 2nd Ga. Infantry during the Civil War. One child, Augusta Grimes, who, after parents early death, was reared by her aunts, Miss Augusta Overby and Mrs. Tassie Overby Clark. 4. Joseph Grimes, b. 1844; m. Susan McKay, six children. Moved to Kentucky. Wm. B. Grimes, b. Oct. 1830; d. Nov. 5, 1894; a younger brother of John Grimes, settled in the Wesley Chapel community and spent his life there, being buried in the Wesley Chapel cemetery. He m.

All the subject matter might be part of the culture or heritage but is not the study of genealogy. Genealogy is simply defined as "1 : an account of the descent of a person, family, or group from an ancestor or from older forms 2 : regular descent of a person,family, or group of organisms from a progenitor or older form : PEDIGREE3 : the study of family pedigrees", so swapping recipes might be history and fun but is certainly not the study of genealogy, or is genealogical research. Other than cluttering up the screen listing incoming E-mails..I personally don't care what you send, but please list in the subject line whether this is a recipe, housebuilding, quiliting or even (gasp) genealogical research, then I won't have to waste my time opening the letter unless I am interested ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

List members are asked to please NOT restart this food thread. Faye

Hi there. I was reviewing old messages and came across this one. Since this time in Dec., I found an old plat made in Screven County for the Estate of James Young, Sr., dated 1854. It shows an area of Southwest Screven County on the Ogeechee River, right across from the Bulloch County line. I'm still searching for my Hendersons. The story goes that a Nancy Henderson, daughter of Captain Michael Henderson, married Jacob Nevils in c. 1789? I think. And then when I found this plat, right next to the old Henderson/Young place, in Screven County (old Cameron, GA), I found an adjacent land owner, "LEE". What makes me wonder even more, when looking at your list of children, I see a name "Lottie Lee". And then with Dicey and Nicey Lee, same names as Nevils daughters of Nancy (Henderson) Nevils and her husband Jacob Nevil(s), I just had to ask. I can't figure out where the name "Lee" came from , possibly historic, but hopefully another family surname, of which I have yet to tap. Are you any relation to Mr. Earl Lee of Statesboro? He is good friends of my family. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Backman@webtv.net> To: <WIREGRASS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, December 26, 1999 8:25 PM Subject: Re: My Andrew Jackson Lee (Jr?) b. 1858 > Hello Charles, nice to hear from another computer cousin.
