I have discovered that this is a pretty common name but I am certain that there must be information about him somewhere. He was living in the Parish of St. George, Georgia when the Rev War began. A letter that he wrote to England asking for compensation for land and asset losses mention that he was a "prosperous rice and corn plantation owner" and owned "726 acres of land there". He was a Loyalist and the same letter mentions that he "was Honored with the Command of a Regiment of Militia before and after the Revolution" . He was evacuated in 1782 and went with his family to East Florida from where he went to NS. His second wife's anme was Susanna/h and his children are listed as: Elizabeth, JOhn, Elam, Susanna, David and Philip. Elizabeth remained in the US. I looked at the reference possibilities and the numbers that would be likely to me are: 71, 79, 90, 94, 138, 156, 186, 188, 214, 249-255. Number 71 I am hoping will contain something about him and there seems to be only one of these books in Canada and it is nowhere near me . I have been looking for him for 5 years now and other relatives even longer. Could you/ would you help me please? Any information would be a huge addition to the very little that I possess. Even if it could be a suggestion to another source ,website, or person! Thank you for your consideration, Samantha Brannen

Thank you I have looked at them and found nothing also. Mary

HI, An invitation to anyone researching ancestors from East Point Georgia (Fulton County). I have a local message board for East Point with several different boards. I have just added The East Point Roots Message board. it can be found in the main menu on the main page. Anyone that is interested in posting inquiries or family information on this particular board is welcome to do so. NO posts have been made to the board as of yet, so don't let that discourage you. We would really apperciate help in getting the board going from people that apperciate the importance of genealogy. The rest of the boards are not genealogical in nature but the East Point Roots is, so please feel free to post. Also, anyone is welcome to use the rest of the site if you so choose Ecspecially if you have ties in anyway to East Point, Ga. The main index page is located at the below link. East Point Roots is under the "Main St. Section" http://jinxie.proboards31.com/ Thanks. http://jinxie.proboards31.com/

Hello List Members, Since I just signed up for this list I would like to let you all know which Georgia surnames I am interested in and presently researching. I have many Georgia ancestors! I also have websites on Rootsweb in case anyone would like to check out the histories and families I have listed.

Winnette, Al Medcalf writes: "The original data is not being destroyed. The old stones are being moved to the foot of the graves and being used as footstones with the full inscriptions visible." Response: The best place to hide a lie is in a half-truth....the OLD STONES WILL NEVER BE REPLACED WITH A DUPLICATE HEADSTONE. That is because the decaying old stones are being left to decay (at the foot of the grave) and no policy of the cemetery or the SCV anticipates to ever renew those inscriptions. This is the double talk of Al Medcalf...HE'S not destroying the stones.....MOTHER NATURE is doing that....all Al Medcalf is doing is NOT REPLACING the stones with like for like. All Al Medcalf is doing is adding something NEW to the grave until the old stones decay....then what....only the NEW Altered stones will remain. Al Medcalf writes. "The information on the old stones is preserved in the History of Lamar County book and on internet sites." Response: God Bless others because the cemetery won't be preserving the data. Everything hinges on private individuals to preserve this data for the next million years....because the Cemetery and Sons of Confederate Veterans will not preserve it. If the data is in a history text about the cemetery, why is the data not on the new headstones at the cemetery. The SCV throughout the nation are doing headstone replacement much like what is happening at Barnesville Cemetery. The old stones decay out of existence and everybody doesn't get concerned because the SCV has said they have replaced the stones....but they have altered the data on the new stones.....when the old stones decays to nothing...then what and in a overwhelming number of cases they are gone, no books, no internet, no private lists. When the Sons of the Confederate Veterans in Barnesville are finished...where do they go next. Everyone should get active and record these inscriptions before the SCV comes to town to re-write your cemetery. If you don't preserve this data, the SCV won't, the cemetery won't. Al Medcalf freely admits that what is in the Book "History of Lamar County" is not what is on the headstones now. WHY NOT? WHERE DID AL MEDCALF GET THE POWER TO REWRITE HITORY. AL Medcalf says that he is indeed altering the stones and that others must record the history...because he is not. Al Medcalf writes: "This isn't even original data as Childress states. The original markers were wood and were replaced around 1896 and I am sure they had become decayed and hard to read." Response: It is not the wood headstone marker that is valuable it is the ORIGINAL DATA on the headstone. When the wood markers where replaced in 1896 the DATA was transferred faithfully. Shame on Al Medcalf and the Barnesville Cemetery for now altering the 1896 DATA. They should have been the first line of preservation of what that data said. Instead they alter the data, as are a plethora of other SCV stone replacement projects, and it is up to other Good Samaritans and historians to record the data before it disappears. It is a race against time and you don't quite know when the SCV is coming to your cemetery to re-write headstones...but it is everywhere the SCV operates. Al Medcalf writes: "Furthermore it has been proven by DNA testing that Gary Childress is not related to Lt. D. M. Childress." Response: Not so...but doesn't matter. I am the Project Administrator for the Childress DNA Project with Family Tree DNA Laboratories. I the person who started and administers the DNA Project for our surname. I know more about the DNA research on our surname than any other person in the country and more than AL Medcalf. Childress researchers disagree on who is in this grave at Barnesville Cemetery. That may always be the case and may be the case for ALL THE SURMAMES in the cemetery. Let the researchers debate the issues to their hearts content....but the Cemetery should have ABSOLUTE responsibility to the preservation of data than to let the Al Medcalfs of this world alter the data and not let the original data decay and just hope some unrelated Good Samaritan is going to keep a record for posterity. Al Medcalf writes: "However, a Mrs. Mary Smithey of Texas is the closest living relative to lt. Childress and she has requested that a new stone be installed." Response: Mary Smithey does not own the grave or have any legal rights to decide what happens at the grave. Mary Smithey is not on my DNA list but she is welcome to argue into the future with other researchers about who, exactly, is in this grave. These are Civil War graves on City property....owned by the City of Barnesville and maintained by the city of Barnesville. Mary Smithey is a nice person but has no more right to decide the fate of this grave than any other person. The City of Barnesville is calling the shots. The bigger problem is that the SCV is largely unchecked at all cemeteries and is changing stones as they wish to their new improved, error free modern versions of headstones. The grave stone replacement issue is huge in its scope. Everywhere I have seen that the SCV participates the headstones are being re-written. Al Medcalf writes: "Mr. Childress has not been to the cemetery and has repeatedly ignored explanations concerning the work being done there." Response: I live in California not Georgia, which maybe why the Mayor and other locals dismiss the issue but I have asked all who will listen to take an interest. I have contacted the office of Mayor of Barnesville who has not replied. I have contacted the Cemetery Administrator who has not replied. I have contacted the City Administrator who has not replied. I have contacted the Congressman, who has referred me to the above. I have contacted historical societies and have not received any explanation as to why this data can be altered with impunity. Ultimately the locals must decide and, if there is no interest, these headstone data will be re-written and the old stones will decay out of existence. So be it.
