Didn't see a reply on the List. Did a Google search of Georgia Indian Agents and came up with one site of Men involved in the Cherokee Removal. It is www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/9097/removal.htm There are the Federal Agents as well as the County Agents listed. Hope this helps you.

Would appreciate any help in finding out about Fannie CLARK who was b. in May of 1880. Her Mother was dead on the 1880 census of Sumter County. She was living with her father, Charles, and her brother, Carl, at her grand father's home. His name was Matthew Clark. Matthew died in July of 1881 and then Fannie's father died in the spring of 1882. Fannie went to live with her Uncle, G. A. Harper, her mother's brother, until Dec. of 1883. At this point J. H. Black became her guardian and he was already the guardian for Newton "Carl" Clark, her brother. Both of these children had inherited land from their grandfather and J. H. Black farmed that land for them. Then in 1896 when Fannie was 16 years old she requested that B. F. Todd of Terrell County be her guardian and this was granted. B. F. Todd was the husband of her mother's sister, Mary. I can't find Fannie after that. I, also, don't know what happened to Carl Clark, her brother. He was 6 years old in 1880. Any hel! p appreciated.

FROM MY GENIE NOTES, which may only be confusing. Sherry There is controversy regarding whether Lavinia Downs was white, Indian, or part Indian. She married Col. Benjamin Hawkins, Indian Agent. As for being the "Queen of Tuckabatchee" , I personally believe that is a legend, among legends, and made for great reading in the book "True Women" by Janice Woods Windle. THE RUMOR......................................................................................... http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~markfreeman/downs.html The URL is for Mark Freeman, researcher who states: 1. "Lavinia Downs is thought by many family members to be of the Ocmulgee Creek Nation, and they insist she was first the wife of Chief Long Side of Tuckabatchie (Tookautchee). He was killed in a raid, and she was widowed with a young son, Silas. Her son Silas is said to have been born in 1792 which conflicts with Lavinia's reported birth date of 10 May 1781. Later info suggests that she was NOT the wife of Chief Long Side, nor was she the mother of Silas Downs." 2. "There is evidence in the Moravian Diaries that Lavinia indicated she was white. Suspicion that she was Creek has been voiced since shortly after her death, including comments such as "there is no truth to the rumor that she was an Indian." 3. "But her medicine cape (prayer shawl) of calf skin and beads, and definitely of Creek origin, has been handed down to the women descendants of her family and has been shown at family reunions. Was this a family heirloom or a gift from a friend?" http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cmamcrk4/crkchf3.html "General William McIntosh, Creek Chief, born at Coweta, Creek nation, probably about 1775, who was the son of Captain William McIntosh, of the British army, and a full blood Creek woman. "He had two wives, named Peggy and Susannah, one of whom was a Creek, the other a Cherokee, but in the lack of records, it cannot be decided to which nationality each one respectively belonged. His Creek children were two sons, Chilly, who succeeded him in the chieftainship, and Lewis, and three daughters, Jane, Hetty, and Lucy. Jane was the oldest daughter. She first married Billy Mitchell, a son of the Creek agent David B. Mitchell; she next married Sam Hawkins, whose death has already been noted. She then married Paddy Carr, but left him and went to Arkansas Territory at an early day. General McIntosh HAD ONLY ONE CHEROKEE CHILD, A DAUGHTER, WHO MARRIED BEN HAWKINS, a brother of Sam. Ben was killed years afterwards in Texas." "William McIntosh: A Lower Creek Chief born at Coweta in the present Russell County; massacred at his home in Carroll County, Georgia March 31, 1825." http://www.pentimento.com/ga1a.htm An astute businessman, McIntosh (educated in Savannah) amassed considerable wealth. His plantation in Carroll County was the home of 40 slaves, many head of cattle, and sheep, as well as much land under cultivation. McIntosh was married three times: to Susanna Coe (a Creek woman), Peggy (a Cherokee), and Eliza. Each lived in her own home on a nearby plantation. MY NOTES: After reading Freeman's, very helpful, research, and others, and then doing some research of my own, it seems apparent, to me, the "rumor did begin after Lavinia's death" in 1828, and is based on coincidence and similarities to Gen Wm McIntosh, Creek Chief. In response to: 1. Dates contradict content, as stated. 2. Rumor "DID" start after Lavinia's death in 1828. 3. Lavinia and Benjamin lived among the Indians, he was the Indian Agent, it's easy to accept that the shawl was a gift, then handed down through generations. Synopsis: Lavinia Downs married Indian agent Benjamin Hawkins, lived among the Indians for many years, and gave several of their children Indian names, one was named Cherokee. William McIntosh had a Cherokee daughter who married a white man named Ben Hawkins, though not to be confused with Col. Benjamin Hawkins. It's easy for me to understand how "the rumor" got started, how people "assumed" that Lavinia and her children had Indian blood, and living among the Indians, learned many of their habits and traditions, teaching them to be more tolerant and at ease among the tribes, and how the rumor and the prejudice snowballed in later generations, but "kept the secret alive"......... Note of interest regarding Chief McIntosh: His father, William McIntosh, received 14 English Crown Grants in St Andrew Parish (Liberty Co) in Georgia 1755-1775, totally 2,494 acres of land. The other members of his family; Angus, Anne, Donald, George, John, Lachlan, and Roderick received 49 English Crown Grants totally 15,218 acres.

In 1726, LUDOVIC GRANT, a Scotsman who was deported to the colonies for fighting on the wrong side in the Bonnie Prince Charlie fracas, married ELIZABETH EUGHIOOTE COODY, a member of the Cherokee Long Hair Clan. They are my 8 greats grandparents. Hope this helps. Pat Kramer

Carol, Also, if Pine Chapel is a small church, it may not have a phone. I know the church where my parents are buried is a very small church and it does not have a phone. They have about a dozen people at Sunday School each Sunday. Just remembered that Tracy Keith has the Gordon County, GA AHGP web site at http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ga/county/gordon/ It has a partial survey for Pine Chapel Cemetery. You might be able to e-mail Tracy for more information.

Thanks for the input, Doris. You raise a good point. Does anyone know if the Pine Chapel United Methodist Church is still open? If not, that could explain why I was unable to find a listing in the yellow pages. Carol

When we were trying to find the owners/guardian of a cemetery in Polk County, we checked with the Rome District Office of the United Methodist Church. The church had been closed many years earlier, but a "guardian/caretaker" church had been appointed to care for the cemetery which is part of the United Methodist Church. Don't know if Calhoun would be part of the Rome District, but any of the local United Methodist Churches should be able to tell you the name and phone number of the District office.

fyi...if you are searching georgia deaths at ancestry.com - you have to put last name as first name & first name as last name...they have this data indexed in reverse at the initial search...i tried to find your "riley bailey" - no luck...i suspect that he may be under another given name and/or surname is misspelled in data base...you could search all the listings for "bailey" from 1919 - 1930...do not specify county name - he may have died in another county...have you gotten copies of death certificates on any other family members?? if not - those might show the full name of "riley" or another variation of the spelling...

Riley Bailey was age, 70, with wife, Amanda, age, 50, and son, Leonard, age, 17. In the 1930 Census of Coffee County I cannot find him. So he must have died somewhere between 1920 and 1930.

Help needed with information about (my 2nd GGM) Mary Garner b abt 1836 in Georgia, married abt 1854 Bryant Perry Kent, who was born about 1835 in Houston Co., GA d 1863 in Richmond, VA (Confederate Hospital -he was a nurse during the Civil War), son of Benjamin and Mary T. (Bailey) Kent. B. P. Kent and Mary are on the 1860 Census in Miller Co., GA. They had five children (four births, one set of twins.) After the death of B. P. Kent, Mary (Garner) Kent married a Bright Waters 10 Jan 1864 in Early Co., GA (marriage records of Early Co., GA, she shown as Mrs. Mary Kent.) My Great Grandmother, Carrie, was born in Blakely, Early Co., GA on 7 Oct 1869, one of female twins. Both parents died before Carrie and her twin were a year old. The twins were to be adopted by John E. Tabb and his wife Ellen (Gentry?), but before they could be, her twin died. She was adopted by John & Ellen Tabb and can be found in the 1870 census in Clay Co., GA. After much searching of the 1850 Census of Garner families in GA, the only family I found with a daughter named Mary of the right age (15-16) in 1850 was the David Garner family in Franklin Co., GA. It bothers me though that Franklin is a distance from Miller Co., GA and I've got no other connection so far to this family. I've been unable to locate the marriage record for B. P. Kent and Mary Garner, or I would know the county of marriage. Bryant P. Kent was a merchant, so perhaps he traveled, and that is a possibility. All the trees I've searched for the David Garner family do not show a marriage for this Mary, however, she is not among the siblings of that family in the 1860 Census of David Garner in Franklin Co., GA. Any help will be appreciated. I would really like to learn more about this family, as they are close kin. God bless. Carolyn, just an old Texas Gal. Life is like pouring water into a Coke bottle.  If you're the least bit scared, you can't do it.   Researching: Knight/Byles/Walton/Espy/Smith/Little/Marshall/ Waters/Garner/Martin/Foote/Berryman/Colclough/ Rogers/Grigsby/Blanton/Tate/McGuffey/Hobbs/ Schuenemann/Latinsky/Altman/Gambel/Sinz & Gross WebSite:  http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cgetting/ WebSite: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cgetting/familygroups/
