Thanks Linda, this is great to know. Marie Researching: Vaughn/Vaughan and Collins Bartow Co. GA

Kathy the Etowah Valley Historical Society is also on the web. They have a genealogical group called the Family Tree Climbers. Under Search Type Etowah Valley Historical Society and Click GO. This is a New Site and they have great plans for doing Genealogical research for people who need research data in Bartow Co. Ga. Good Luck. Linda Gossett Cochran

I inadvertently referred to the Bartow County Genealogical Society in an earlier posting as the Historical Society. It is the Genealogical Society. Hope that did not cause anyone confusion. They are a great bunch and highly recommended. Carol in TN

Kathy, There is a great site for the Cass County marriages: www.geocities.com/Heartland/Park/9465/BookB.html There are also sites for Cass County wills: go to usgenweb/ga/bartow/wills. The Bartow County Historical and Genealogical Society in Cartersville, GA has a great bit of info as does the Georgia GenWeb Project. I've found all kinds of info by simply typing in what I'm looking for and clicking on "go." I can usually find most anything that way. The name was changed in 1861. The county was formerly named for a Sec. of War but was changed to honor a fallen hero of the Civil War. Carol in TN

Hello People, I'm new to the list and I'm looking for a copy of a 1841 Cass County marriage record. I understand that Bartow County was once Cass County, if this is true are there any suggestions on where I might look. Thank you Kathy Irwin Odessa, Texas condor@texasonline.net

RE: I need info regarding the Florida & Georgia state line. I know it moved around from time to time over a period of many, many years before it was finally settled. Liz Gerlits Liz. I would like to clarify my previous answer to this question which read in part: "... the Family History Libraries has books that show the creation and movement of counties in a state by census year i.e, 1790 to 1820." What I meant was that these books contain MAPS of the states for each census year 1790 through 1820. So although most people normally look in these for county boundaries changes you can also look at maps to see the state boundary changes. The title of the book is "Map Guide to US Federal Census 1790 - 1820" by William Thorndale and William Dollarhide; Genealogical Publishers Inc.; Baltimore; 1987. Sorry I wasn't very clear in my original posting. Diane.Casey@bull.com

RE: I need info regarding the Florida & Georgia state line. I know it moved around from time to time over a period of many, many years before it was finally settled. Liz Gerlits Liz- I would think that any reference librarian could answer your specific questions. Not knowing GA/FL history I am not sure you mean before or after they became a state. However, in the Family History Libraries they have books that show the creation and movement of counties in a state by census year i.e, 1790 to ?? You might be able to look at these books to get sufficient information to answer your questions. I don't have the name of the book handy but if you are interested, email me privately and I'll phone the local FHL and get the title and author. Diane.Casey@bull.com

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

Please excuse the multiple messages. I need info regarding the Florida & Georgia state line. I know it moved around from time to time over a period of many, many years before it was finally settled. I am researching in Gadsden Co, FL and Decatur Co, FL. It would be helpful to know more about where and when the state line was located. For instance, I know a person could have been born in what we now know as Florida, but at the time of their birth, it was known as Georgia. If anyone has any info on this or can tell me where to find some, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks for the lookup on THRASH/BRYAN. Guess I'll just keep on beating my head against that brick wall. Pam

Ray Give me a few more details about him and I will see what I can find. I have researched most of the Cochrans in Bartow and Gordon co. and his name is not familiar to me. Linda Gossett Cochran

Hi, I am looking for info on the family listed above, my great grandfather Upson Cochran listed Bartow County as his home county when he joined the CSA Army. Ray

Pam I looked both names up I couldnit find either in the Cemetery Book for Bartow Co. But these are only if the graves are marked. Sorry, Linda Gossett Cochran
