Yes, this is much more relaxing than having the list owner "chew us out" everytime we go off topic. Thankyou for the few moments of fun. If any of you have Beasley, Durst, English, Greer, Haynes, Hudson, Pate (and a few other lines) in your family, those are the surnames I am chasing. I have my direct lines, well, most of it....but I keep trying to locate some of those "aunts, uncles, and cousins". Most of the cousins were easy to find, they turned up as my g-g-g-g- grandparents or greatgrandparents! Although my search has primarily been in Greene and Oglethorpe counties, I discovered some in Jasper and Troupe counties. I am "heavy" into the Hudson and Greer lines, gobs of info......right now I am "revisiting" my English lines as I am my Beasley lines. Time frame: From the start, had the Beasley/Willingham line buying in Wilkes county late 1780's.......the Greers getting there around the same time (Washington county)...the Hudson (with stepfather, Seth Ward) arriving by 1800...the Haynes and English seem to have "came in together" in that same period. From research (and aide of others) have placed the Greers in the Washington/Greene county "change over", the Haynes, English, Beasley and Hudson in the Wilkes/Oglethorpe/Greene "change over". The Greer/Haynes ties all married each other, their children then married the cousins.......only to have the English married into Beasley then into Hudson, who had Beasley connections all along! [These families had been in VA. prior to moving into GA.] Then the BIG move, most of them (at least my direct lines and the related siblings/families) passed thru Alabama (some stayed a bit and then moved) into Mississippi where I found them as early as those thirteen counties were formed in 1833 thru the Dancing Rabbit Treaty. Some where already there (the Henry Greer family for one) when the State lines were drawn up. Have a great day, and God Bless, ear
