Rhonda: There are no Elree Wiggins listed in the Ga. Death Index for these three years. I did find a Mrs. Lee A. Wiggins, died 10/14/1928 in Tift County, Death Certificate #27936-J and this was the only person listed as having died in Tift County for those years.

If anyone has access to the Ga. death index for the years 1926, 1927, & 1927, I need a lookup. I have an Elree Wiggins who died in Ga. around 1926, 27 or 28. I thought she had died in Tift County but I could not find a death certificate. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Rhonda

Valerie, I noticed in your message on RAYs you mentioned a Coweta Co. GA marraige book. Do you have access to that book? If so, would you be willing to look up GOODIN and JOHNSON for me. I would really appreciate it. I am trying to find leads in my husband's family tree. Living in OR complicates the search, as I'm sure you can understand. <g> Thanks.

Please excuse the multiple posts. Yesterday I posted a question to the lists for info regarding the moving of the FL/GA state lines over a period of time before it was finally settled to where it is today. By the way, This was a 200-year old situation. Many people wrote saying they also would like the info. I received many responses from many kind and knowledgable people. I believe I've thanked all of them privately, but I would also like to thank them again publicly. You're all wonderful. I need to clear something up before I post a summary of the info I received. My question had nothing to do with county formation. For instance, Decatur County was always in GA and Gadsden County was always in FL. The question was "Where was GA?" and "Where was FL?". Summary of Info Received: 1. "The History of Decatur County" by Frank Jones: This book devotes chapter Vlll to "The Boundry Line Between Georgia and Florida". This book can be found in many libraries. 2. "Gadsden - A Florida County in Word and Picture" by Miles Kenan Womack, Jr. This book can be found in many libraries. 3. "Watson Line" by Duke Vickery: Info on this can be found on the Gadsden County, FL and Jackson County, FL web sites. One way to get there by using this URL: http://members.aol.com/sweeney/3030/gadsden.html. This same info is on another site: http://geocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/3010/index.htm. 4. In the Florida Collection at the Indian River County Main Library in Vero Beach, FL is: Documents relative to the Boundary Between Georgia and Florida. Published bythe 2nd Session, 33 Congress 1854-55. This can also be found at most government depositories. 5. Here are other web sites you may want to check out: http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/cwmaps.htm http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/gamaps.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/maps 6. One person is going to snail mail a court order regarding the FL/GA state line issue. She says it is very interesting reading. If anyone is interested in a few of the interesting messages sent to me, email me privately and I'll forward them to you privately. Hope this helps others. Liz Gerlits Palm Bay, FL
