Hi again, Maureen. This might be just supplemental information for you, but it gives a chain of who was who in the scheme of things and property ownership. <bg> This information came mostly from the files of Mr. Charles Parish Blitch, and a small, minute bit from my database. Screven County Marriage Book C, p. 31. Marriage license issued for [Dr.] JAMES F.[ranklin] BROWN [of Marion County, Buena Vista, GA] to ANN E[lizabeth] HENDERSON [of Screven County, GA] 22 January 1855. Marriage performed by REV.

Hi again, Maureen. Ok. I found this letter, from Mr. Charles Parish Blitch, to me, dated January 10, 1999. In it, he is giving me the details of how the Young and Blitch family came together. "My grandmother's sister, LAURA WILLIAMS, married THOMAS YOUNG, son of JAMES YOUNG, SR., in 1861. [My note: Thomas Young was killed in the Civil War. He is buried in the now "YOUNG/BLITCH" cemetery in Bulloch County, GA] They had one daughter, MARY THOMAS YOUNG, to survive. She married DANIEL C. ASHLEY of Valdosta. LAURA WILLIAMS YOUNG married my grandfather's brother, JOHN GIDEON BLITCH, in 1871. That's how we are connected to the Young family. Also JAMES YOUNG, JR. married my great grandmother, ROXEY ANN WILLIAMS, around 1851. Her first husband, WASHINGTON WILLIAMS, died in 1845." I will post separately references of how it became the Blitch/Lane house.

Why do we do genealogy? Is it to put names and dates on paper? Or is it to put the lives of our ancestors into our understanding? If it is to gain an understanding of our heritage, then, I am sorry, recipes are a part of that. So is weaving, so is housebuilding, so is modes of travel, so is grammar, so is animal husbandry, so is crop raising, so is religion, so is medical practices. If we have no inheritance, other than names and dates on paper, why would anyone care? If some people DO CARE only about the cut -and -dried f-acts, and are offended by any non "just the facts" discussion, I think a list that consists of a variety of people sharing facts, views, and memories. is innappropriate for these researchers. I think these genealogists would better serve their needs visiting archives, family history centers, and libraries. On-line lists are disparate human beings with differing points of achievment in their search, wiht every gamut of human condition in thieer backgounds, and with a desire, often times, just to connect and understand. It is sad that we have come to fear attack if we share the stuff of our most rare heritage....our memories. ----- Original Message ----- From: <GA-ROOTS-D-request@rootsweb.com> To: <GA-ROOTS-D@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2000 9:05 PM Subject: GA-ROOTS-D Digest V00 #247

I wonder how many of you are aware that the very first bowel resection for ischemic bowel disease was done Georgia Dr. William Simpson Armstrong. For those of you without a medical background, "ischemic bowel disease" is when, for a variety of reasons, the blood supply to a segment of the intestine gets cut off, much as it occurs when a person has a heart attack or a stroke. Until very recently, the only treatment for this was to surgically remove (resect) that segment of the intestine; if that isn't done very quickly, the patient usually dies very quickly of overwhelming infection as the gangrenous segment of the intestine releases its toxic contents into the bloodstream. The first such operation in medical history was performed by Dr. William Simpson Armstrong, Professor of Surgery and Anatomy at the Medical College of Atlanta (Georgia). The feat was performed sometime just prior to Dr. Armstrong's death in 1896, and is documented in newspaper clippings of Dr. Armstrong's obituary from the Atlanta Georgia newspaper. The obituary states that: "Dr. W. S. Armstrong, whose sudden death was chronicled yesterday, was one of the greatest surgeons who ever lived. Indeed, it is claimed that he performed the greatest operation ever made." A colleague of Dr. Armstrong's on the faculty of the medical school was operated on urgently for a presumed bowel tumor. The newspaper clipping states "...when the abdominal cavity was opened, it was discovered that twelve inches of the lower intestine was gangrenous. To replace it as it was found meant certain death. Dr. Armstrong removed the affected portion, and joined the separated parts together. The patient lived and is living today." "It is considered by physicians the most brilliant achievement in surgery ever, to their knowledge. What coolness, what perfect judgement, what care, what accuracy, what daring, what skillful after treatment was required to restore this man to life may be appreciated even by the layman. Statesmen give happiness and prosperity to their fellowmen; and other public benefactors confer their blessings on humanity; but it is left to the consummate skill and daring of such men as Dr. Armstrong to save human life. He was a great man." Dr. William Simpson Armstrong was the grandson of the Rev. James Armstrong and his wife Jane, who migrated from Hempstead, N.Y. first to Savannah, Georgia, and finally at the time the War of 1812 migrated to the Wilkes County, Georgia, area. He was born Oct. 9, 1838, the son of Francis Corvoisier Armstrong and his wife Frances Amanda Simpson. He studied medicine at the Medical College of Georgia and graduated in medicine from the State University of New York in 1859. He was supervisor of all the Confederate military hospitals in Virginia during the Civil War. He was appointed Professor of Anatomy at the Medical College of Atlanta in 1866 and in 1890 Professor of Clinical Surgery. He married Myra Grant, had one son Dr. William B. Armstrong and one daughter Laura Armstrong.

Here is the way I do it but, there may be an easier way. After you get to rootsweb.com home page, go down the page to Mailing Lists -- Genealogy only. Click on that, then click on Index. If you are searching for a surname list, click on the Letter of that name. All the names for that letter will come up. I already did it for you and there are two lists -- Brummett and Brummette. Now back up to the rootsweb home page and this time under Mailing Lists -- Genealogy only, click on Interactive search by specific list. Now you will have a place to type in the list you want. Some names have several years of messages so mark the year and enter your search request for that list. Ex. Burke Co. GA might work. If not try something else. Good luck. Sandy

Jeanne, In an article I have on early settlers of Burke Co. there is mention of a John Brummutt. It is likely these could be the same name as the recorder just wrote it the way he heard it. John BRUMMUTT signed a petition to request that James Taylor be pardoned. This was in either 1786 or 1790-92 as it was wrtitten to Bov. Edward Telfair and that is when he was Governor. Then in 1800 or 1801 a John BRUMNUT signed another petition asking for the pardon of Littleberry Tilman who had been in a fight. These are probably the same man. Nothing on Brinson. Sandy

Mary, While looking up some research I found this name and remembered your Post. There was a James and Edward Coody in Campbellton SC. in 1790. I hope this will be of help to you.

Another card of the Dixon Hollingsworth index card collection at the Screven County Library in Sylvania, GA, states the following: FARR West Hill Cemetery (Is this Augusta, GA?) ROBERT DAVID FARR 7-28-1864 6-30-1918 EULA ELIZABETH FARR 8-19-1865 1-3-1935 Does anyone have any idea who these FARRs might be? Is there any tie in with a JOHN M. FARR and MARY FARR, minor children of W. J. FARR, deceased by 1871? Carole Farr Drexel gdrexel1@airmail.net

Here is another posting of a card that I found in the Dixon Hollingsworth card collection at the Screven County Library. It ties in with the YOUNG posts that I send yesterday. HUNTER Book 1, Miscellaneous Records, Effingham County, GA p. 260 Marriage license, granted 5-19-1813, to MR. SILAS MORTON with MISS MARY HUNTER, both of Screven County, GA.

Hi Wiley. Well, I finally found the marriage of a Farr to a Moore. >From Screven County Marriage Book "C", 1853 - 1869, page 32. WILLIAM J. FARR applied for marriage license to SARAH M. MOORE on 1 January 1856. The certificate of marrige was recorded by Alexander Kemp, Ordinary, Screven County, GA, 23 April, 1856. Marriage performed by William S. Moore, M. G., date of marriage 1 January 1856. Also, I don't know if I sent this or not, so am reposting. On a trip to the Screven County Court House, Probate Court, I found a loose sheet of paper just stuck in the Screven County, GA Marriage Book "C", 1853-1869, dated 15 July 1868. "Inventory of WILLIAM S. MOORE, Deceased, as shown by WILLIAM J. MOORE, Administrator. As follows: 630 acres, 1 cotton gin, 1 piano and bureau." That was all that was contained on that loose sheet. So that makes the card that I found of Dixon Hollingsworth's make a little more sense. It reads: FARR Book 12, P. 272, Ordinary's Office, Screven County. Date: 6-14-1871 It appearing to the Court that MARY FARR and JOHN FARR, minor children of W. J. FARR, and also WILLIAM MOORE, JOHN MOORE, and JIMMY MOORE, minor children of JAMES R. MOORE, deceased, are heirs and distributees of the Estate of W. S. MOORE, deceased, W. J. MOORE, Administrator, ordered that THOMAS B. MOORE, be appointed Guardian for each and every of the aforesaid minors. On a plat made for the Estate of James Young, Sr., in 1855, it shows that WILLIAM MOORE's property was adjacent to Hezekiah Evans and Charles Evans, and John Cameron and Mary Ann Young Henderson Cameron, widow of Wm. M. Henderson (Sr.), with William Woods's property on the direct other side, then Lee, then Hollingsworth's property. So they all lived right there together. Will send more documented evidence as I can find it. Thank you for all your work on these lines. I am still uncertain as to when Woods Pond became Jarrell Pond. But on a later map, the estate of Mrs. Martha E. Jarrell, I believe, lay north of this property, and did not encompass Jarrell Pond. It will take much more digging, I'm afraid. Thank you again, Carole Farr Drexel gdrexel1@airmail.net

Hi: I am very new to rootsweb, and new to computer genealogy. I have the following family questions: My great grandmother, Eolah Brown Langley ( 3-5-1849 - 11-26-1918) married Brumett Brinson on 12-17-1884 in Waynesboro Burke County Georgia. I have traced Eolah Brown Langley's family but cannot find anything on Brumett except in the 1880 Burke County census and I quote: The 1880 Census of Burke County Georgia, Dwelling #697 and Family #698. The head of household is Elizabeth Brinson, age 48 and a widow and farmer. Living with her is her family as follows: Thomas age 22, Jennie age 20, BRUMETT age 18, William age 14, Lizzie age 12, Fannie age 10, Sarah age 9, Adam grandson age 6. I believe the Elizabeth Brinson (3-3-1829 - 4-4-1901) mentioned above, the mother of Brumett, was Elizabeth Ann Brummette prior to her marriage to Stephen B. Brinson (3-9-1828 - 11-18-1877). Her age could very well be incorrect in the census. In the 1 April 2000 vol 3, issue 5, of the St George's Gazette (The Official Newsletter of the Burke County Genealogical Society) on page 2, under Cemetery Restoration Project Underway one of the family names mentioned is BRUMMETTE. also in the story below the cemetery article is The Herals and Expositor, Waynesboro, Georgia, reporting on two marriages one of which was Wednesday Apria 19, 1882 of R. J. Boyd of Louisville, GA, to Miss Nora Hough of Waynesboro. One of the attendants of this wedding was Eben B. Brinson (probably Ebenezer Brinson). For the above reasons I believe the answer to my finding my great grandfather Brumett Brinson is in either Waynesboro Burke County or Sylvania Screven County Georgia. Is there anyone out there who can help me find Brumett Brinson??? If you have any information on this family please contact me. Thank you so very much, Jeanne jmbarker29@aol.com
