Looking for the parents of Birdie Davenport. Possibly H. Birdie Davenport. born 1880. 1910 census says her parents were born in GA but I don't know where. I thought the unusual name would ring a bell with someone. Birdie married Sam Walker in Cullman AL in 1898 and settled there. thanks Pam

Thanks everyone for Faye's address. Nancy

Died 1893 [My note: James Young, Jimmy Young, Thomas Young, and James Jones, plus two other unmarked graves, now reside in Bulloch County, across the Ogeechee River on what is called the YOUNG-BLITCH Cemetery. How they got there, or if they were originally there and then moved after the cemetery in Bulloch County was prepared, with the wrought-iron fence (see estate proceedings of James Young, Sr. 1851, Bulloch County Probate Court) all the time, I do not know. All that is left of the original YOUNG Cemetery, at the head of Jarrell Pond (used to be Woods Pond) between Dover and Halcyondale on Hwy 17, the old Louisville Road, is a red brick 4 sided enclosure of some dimension with no roof and the place where a wrought iron gate was but is no longer; the red bricks match and are the same as used for two other Screven County old cemeteries - the Freeman cemetery across and down from Oak Grove Methodist Church and Oak Grove Methodist Church itself's brick enclosures. All three cemeteries are along the Old Louisville Road, now Hwy 17, running from Halcyondale to nearly Ogeechee. There are no stones, or any residue from any stones, left at the head of Jarrell Pond, once known as the YOUNG Cemetery. That is where Mary Henderson Young should be buried, as well. Please note that this is just an educated guess on my part, Carole Farr Drexel, and not that of Dixon Hollingsworth or his card collection. But, as documented proof of the original position of the YOUNG Cemetery, as a part of the Estate of James Young, a plat was drawn by George Clifton, dated 6 August, 1851?, recorded 9 October, 1854, as witnessed by John Cameron and Charles Evans, C.C., John Cameron being the son-in-law of James Young, being married to James Young's daughter, Mary Ann Young Henderson, widow of William Michael Henderson, and late the bride of John Cameron. The language on the recorded plat is as follows: I hereby certify the above plat is a true representation of that tract or parcel of land belonging to the Estate of James Young, Sr., known as the Station Place, containing Twenty Three Hundred and Twenty Two acres by _____ ___ made by me the 5 & 6 of August, 185?. Also found on this plat is Woods Pond, containing about 150 acres, a box drawn at the north west head of Woods Pond for 'grave yard', a road running to the Paris Hill Academy, which road fronts on the Old Louisville Road, and directly behind some distance the Paris Hill Academy, is the 'brick yard'. It appears that the 'brick yard' crosses the property line of both the Estate of James Young, Sr., and the property of William Moore. The other property owners shown that surrounded this property were William Moore, as stated before, Hezekiah Evans, Charles Evans, John Cameron, Hollingsworth, Lee, William Woods. That is all I can see of this plat, as it is not all shown on this copy.

Richard, did I ask you if you were descended from William Spain and Elizabeth Young? I think they would have been in the Thomasville area by then, maybe c. 1840?

Rooters, I am looking for a William Thomas who lived in NC (Duplin Co.???) between 1770 - 1785). It is believed he was married to either Eleanor Booth or Celia Gregory or possibly both. They had at least three children: John b: abt 1785 William Jr. b: abt 1785 in NC, Sarah b: abt 1790 in SC. The children John, William, Jr. and Sarah where living in Screven/Bulloch counties between 1805 and 1836. George Thomas Green Cove Springs, FL

The marring of older men by young Girls was not unusual in the old west but recorded, after the civil war when the south was in such poor shape, many disabled veterans married young girls to take care of them. This was encouraged by the girls famines. Many of the veterans were bed fast but drew pensions, This gave the girl and her family a little money to live on. Now the pension were very small $5 or $10 a month went a long way. Many times there was no father in the girls family as he had been killed during the war and the mother was not in the best of health her self. Many years ago there was a lady who retired from the State Department and as a volunteer worked in the basement of the Department of Veterans affairs who kept up with the civil war veterans wives and children and arranged their reunions of the last of their kin. Many of the last of the kin were girls who had married the veterans and taken care of them during their last days. Yes many were married in their early teens strictly to give the girl a home and to care for the Veteran. And if this was done for veterans I am sure it was done for other older men allowing the girls family to gain title to what ever property the older man had when he died. other wise the property went to the state or a politician. We seem to forget how hard it was to make a living in bygone day, and children grew up fast. or died.
