Hello all. I'm trying to confirm the family story that my gr-gr-grandmother was Frances BRYAN (or Martha Ann Frances BRYAN). That's the family story, but I can find no one with proof. I've been looking for her in Floyd County, GA, but am now turning my sights to Bartow. I'm hoping someone will have her in their family tree or will be willing to do marriage and/or cemetery lookups. Here's the story. My gr-gr-gr-grandparents and their children were on the Cass County census is 1860 and still there (now Bartow County) in 1870. In 1880 they are next door in Floyd County. On that 1880 census my gr-gr-grandfather, William Hammet THRASH, is single. A relative has in his notes a marriage date of 10/12/1884, but does not remember where this info was obtained and I have been unable to find their marriage record in Floyd County. Their first child was born 2/21/1886. Their second child was born 11/23/1888. Again, the same relative has her death date as 7/6/1889, but again no record of where this date came from. I have not found her listed in the Floyd County cemetery book and she is not buried at Wax Cemetery where several other family members are buried. Hammet remarried in Floyd County on 8/21/1894. I searched the soundex for the 1880 Georgia census hoping to find Martha Ann Frances BRYAN as a child in her parents' household. I found 2 possible candidates in Bartow County: Head of Family: W. J. BRYAN, W, M., age 39, District #851 Wife, Elizabeth, age 39 Ann F., daughter, age 17 Asberry, son, age 16 Martha, daughter, age 14 Wm. M., son, age 12 Henry, son, age 8 Oliver, son, age 5 Ann F. could be Ann Frances, or it could be Martha. If the marriage date is correct Ann F. would have been 21 and Martha would have been 18. I have a good feeling about Ann F. So here is my plea. 1. Could someone do a marriage lookup for any BRYAN to any THRASH? 2. Could someone do a cemetery book lookup (if there is such a book) for Martha or Ann or Frances THRASH? It's possible that even if they lived in Floyd County, since she died young, she may have been taken back to Bartow to be buried with her family. Yes, I'm clutching at straws. 3. Is anyone researching this W. J. BRYAN family who could tell me anything, even if only to rule them out as my connection? I've had wonderful luck on my THRASH family, with this one exception. I've been beating my head against a wall over this woman. She seems to have fallen through every loophole. I even tried newspapers for 1889 (her alleged date of death) and, wouldn't you know, the Floyd County library has microfilms of 1888 and 1890 - skips right over 1889. We have a portrait of this lady (I've been wondering who could afford such a thing in 1880's Georgia) and would love to learn about her. I would greatly appreciate any and all help. Many thanks in advance. Pam

Hi, While looking for the parents of John W. HUBBARD on the 1860 Cass Co., GA census I found the family of Zachariah HUBBARD from SC. John was not with this family so he was probably not John's father. Living next door to Zachariah was the family of Elija GARRETT whose family was also from SC. It seams very likely that these 2 families may have been close friends or relatives. We are told that John W. HUBBARD b. 1852 in Adairsville, Cass/Bartow Co., GA's father was killed during the Civil War & after this John's mother married a GARRETT. The GARRETTs had at least 3 children Will, Tom, & Mary GARRETT. If you have any information on the HUBBARD or GARRETT families please let us know. Mel & Joede KARSTEN

Linda, I sent you Elizabeth's address and also the name of a friend who is direct descendant of Hubbards here in Bartow Co.

Linda Here is an address of someone who can help you they descend from the Mahan's Joe and Elizabeth Garrison. Email Ngrdru@aol.com. I am not related to the Hubbards I was helping out a person with a query. Keep me posted ok. Linda

Dear Linda I am also interested in any Hubbard research you might have. The Hubbards and the Fullers went to Cherokee/Bartow Co GA after 1850. They settled with the Mahan's in the Salacoa Valley. I have some to share if you are interested. Linda From Idaho > Mel & Joede, > I did some research for a hubbard family last year. I will look it up and > email you at your email address. Linda Gossett Cochran > >

Mel & Joede, I did some research for a hubbard family last year. I will look it up and email you at your email address. Linda Gossett Cochran

Joede, I am doing research in Adairsville, that is where my family comes from. Adairsville is actually Bartow Co. Have you checked any census for John if not next week when I go to the library I will look for this family, I also do some of the transcribing of the cemeteries there I will check for your family. If I find anything I will e-mail you.

HI, We have just found some new information on John W. Hubbard who was born 23 April 1852 in Adairsville, Cass Co., GA . His full name was John Washington Hubbard. His father (given name unknown) was killed in the Civil War in GA. John's mother (name unknown) then married am man named Garrett. They had at least 3 children; Will, Tom & Mary Garrett. We are told that the Garrett family lived in GA. We are at a dead end. Do any of you have any information that will help us? Mel & Joede Karsten Cornelius, OR

Rose, The birth records as well as the Death records start about 1922 or 1923 This was when the Counties were ordered to keep these records. Sorry. Linda Gossett Cochran

Can anyone tell me if there are records of births occuring in Cartersville in the time frame 1913-1916, also 1881. Also, how far back are marriage records recorded? Thanks for your help. I am always searching! Rose Families; MC DADE, PARSONS, BUCKNER, CARLOCK, NORTON

Melanie, Linda Trentham is a descend and has taken me and my friend there but email her at LTrent7078@aol.com. She can give you directions that are easier than I would be able to. Good Luck, Linda Cochran

While in Cartersville a few weeks ago, I had a wonderful time exploring one of the Genealogical Societies, the Courthouse Probate Records, and the John J. Smith Cemetery. My grandfather directed us there from memory (and got lost in the process), but I have no way of retracing those steps. If anyone is familiar with this, could you please send me an "address" of this place. There is also a house near the graveyard that was supposedly the John J. Smith house, or later his son James M. Smith's home. There was a sign on the back door that said "Harvest House" and "closed Monday, May 28, 2000" which tells me it is presently used. I have been told that this house may be torn down in the near future. If anyone has further information on this house, or what it would take to get inside (before it is too late), please let me know. I would also like the street address for this house, and who now owns it, etc. ANY additional information would be appreciated from anyone who knows anything! This list was very helpful in providing information before I went to the area. Thanks to all of you who responded before! Melanie Capps

Hi, I am new to your list and would appreciate a lookup. In a January 1925 interview, Civil War Veteran William Harrison Elrod stated that he married Aug 15, 1862 to Dicie Minerva Underwood. However, he did not give a county. Can someone check the marriage records, if they are in print, and tell me if they married in Bartow Co GA? If married there, were their families on the 1860 Census? William H....... parents were Jeremiah "Jerry" and Mary Elrod. Dicie's parents were John and Frances Underwood. Thanks so much Karen Smith

I am planning to come to Cartersville on Thursday of this week (May 25th) to visit the Genealogy Library. I know nothing about this area, and very little about researching. I just started my genealogy trek this past November, and am hooked! A family member who has been doing this for years provided me with lots of great info on the John J. Smith family (born in 1798/died 1873) from Cass/Bartow Co., GA, as well as "many" of his descendants. I know that he had 22-24 children from 2 different wives(Adlaide Spurlock and Elizabeth Cordeman) (supposedly 12 each). I am reasonably sure they were in Cass Co. by the 1840 Census, and definitely by the 1850 Census. I know that John J. Smith was born in SC, and I have been given the name of his parents as William and Winnie, but with no proof. I know that there was a will, but I have not seen a copy of this will, and don't know how to go about finding it (I should have a copy of it after Thursday, but it is supposedly incomplete). So far I have met several "cousins" on line, each with similar information. I also have a copy of some "research" done back in the 70's by a Josie Smith of Cartersville. I also know that a Mrs. Appling of Cartersville has done some previous research in this family (Mrs. Belew of Cartersville?, provided me with phone/address to contact her). All of my research so far has been by internet, census searches, and a "few" books on Cass/Bartow that are in my local library. I want to make good use of my time on Thursday, and would like some help to point me in the right direction. I admit I don't know much about library research, and this is my first attempt outside of my own library here in Alabama. What resources should I look at while there? Newspapers, books? (or can I possibly get the Bartow Books sent to my local library through the interlibrary loan program?) Thanks in advance for any help you can give, or just point me in the right direction to someone who can. Sincerely,Melanie Capps (ggg-granddaughter of John J. Smith)

Looking for info on H. F. Wade listed in the 1880 Bartow Co. census. He is probably Henry Franklin Wade m Rebecca Youngblood(?). They had 2 sons listed: Goli 4 and Leroy 2. Another 1 year old son died earlier that year. He later moved to Cayce Co, Ky. Any info appreciated. Lynda Wilson

In the Bartow County Heritage Book, vol. 1, there is a write-up about Charles Baker by Elizabeth Garrison. Besides the parents, vital stats., etc., it states his children were Patsey m. William Gordon; Joel m. Sarah( Polly) Barton; Jesse (q.v.) m. Parthenia Moss; Nellie, m. James Russell; and Elizabeth(Betsey)m. Andrew McDonald. Please contact the Bartow County usgenweb site and and the coordinator, Jean Belew, will put you in touch with Mrs. Garrison. Hope this helps. Fran
