I am a descendant of James Milner, born 1818 in South Carolina, who married first Cecilia M. Gosa on 11 Jun 1839 in Bartow Co., Georgia, and second Mrs. Susan Anderson, circa 1856, through a son of the second marriage, Edwin Bartow Milner. James Milner apparently died after 1870 in Bartow County. Although a county history states he died in 1869. This may be true, but he was listed in the 1870 US Census of Bartow Co. I am seeking: The date of James' death and any information about his children by either marriage. Susan's maiden name, DOB, DOD, the name of her parents, the time and location of her marriage to James, and any information about her previous marriage(s). I would be happy to share my data with anyone interested in the Milner family history. -- Jeff Milner Greensboro, GA jmilner@mail.atl.bellsouth.net

Hi, I have Bartow County ties to pre-1880. Do any of these names look familiar to you? William McClellan Jones b. Sept. 1874, son of Isabelle J. McClellan m. Wm. H. Jones. Ben Smith and McClellan Jones were cousins, born the same year, 1874. Ben Smith's mother was Nannie McClellan m. Unknown Smith. I think they possibly came from Paulding/Polk County to Bartow and Mc Jones moved back to Polk County around the turn of the century. He married Cora Stepp prior to 1900. Ben Smith remained in Bartow County and died at Taylorsville about 1963. I have lots of information about the Joneses, known almost nil about the McClellans, except that they connect with the Smiths through Nannie. Sorry I can't help you on the VININGs. Nell

Hello... I just wanted to say "hello" to the list. I have just signed onto this list this afternoon after searching for it at Rootsweb.com. I am Jon Strickland, gr-grandson of Robert Warren SMITH (son of George Right SMITH) and Rhue Zelma Celeste Jane VINING, through their son James Ralph SMITH, Sr (born Bartow, 1904). I have most recently been talking directly to cousin Linda TRENTHAM, there in Cartersville. She has provided me many cousins descending from George Right SMITH's father John J SMITH. If any of you would like to chat about family ties (especially if you have any VINING information to share), please drop me a line! Same sky... Jon

The following was posted to one of my mailing list. I hate to admit it but I can relate to it. D. Scott Dingler Listowner The top ten indicators that you've become a Gene-aholic..... By Mary H. Harris 10 . You introduce your daughter as your descendant. 9. You've never met any of the people you send e-mail to, even though you are related. 8. You can recite your lineage gack 8 generations, but can't remember your nephew's name. 7. You have more photographs of dead people than living ones. 6. You have taken a tape recorder and or notebook to a family reunion. 5 You have not only read the latest Gedcom standards, you understand it. 4. The local genealogy society borrows books from you. 3. The only film you have seen in the last year was the 1880 census index. 2. More than half of your CD collection is made up of marriage records or pedigrees. 1. Your elusive ancestors have been spotted in more places than Elvis.

Joel BRADLEY married Francis Isobel McKEEVER (or Isabella F. McEVER) probably around 1860 in Bartow/Cass Co. One of their sons was William B. BRADLEY b. Georgia. William B. is my ggrandfather. I'm trying to find out more about this family. Does this look familiar to anyone? Thanks for the help. Joe E. Bradley

Any information on William Hillman Carson (b May 6, 1860) m Amanda Green (b July 3,1864) will be greatly appreciated. I am told that William "Bill" Carson was crippled. They moved to White, Georgia area some time around 1900. They came from Union (Towns) County Georgia. They had several children: James Thomas, Charlie, Forrest, Dixie, Georgia, Robert Maxwell (who was my grandfather). Robert Maxwell was born May 10, 1905 in White, Georgia. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Judy Carson Vafeas Florence, Alabama

I am hot on the trail of my ancestors that lived in Cartersville and Adairsville. DAVID WINDOSOR MC DADE and MARY ORREGON MAFFETT moved to Cartersville before 1883. David was an engineer on the W & A RR. I cannot find a record of their marriage....can anyone help with this? Their daughter, FLOSSIE, married ALVIN C. PARSONS, son of JAMES R. PARSONS and OLLIE BUCKNER. Alvin worked at Young Bros. Drug Store (1910), in Cartersville. James owned a grocery store on Etowah St and lived on Tennessee St. Alvin was born in Adairsville. I believe the McDade's also had MAFFETT cousins (MOLLIE and NELLIE) that lived in Cartersville. One was a milliner. Interstingly, David McDade's sister, Martha, married Mary O. Maffett's brother, Albert, in Cartersville. Is it common for brothers and sisters to marry brothers and sisters? Any help with my neverending quest would be greatly appreciated. Rose Ferguson

A group of Stephens settled in Bartow Co. from Monroe Co., Tenn. in the 1860s. One in particular is John Foster Stephens who died in Bartow Co. in 1928 and is buried at Glade cemetery. He was married to Sarah Catherine Denman. Hope someone on this list has info on these Stephens or Denman folks. Thanks. Betty

My great-grandmother had a sister Minnie L. Blalock who married J. J. Dykes on 5/16/1898 in Bartow/Cass County.

Hello everyone, I have not forgotten about the Cassville Meth. Ch. records. I have been on vacation for a couple of weeks. Hopefully soon I'll be able to copies of the old records, transcribe, and then index them into a readable form. Just a note to those interested: When the Civil War moved through Cassville, the Meth. Ch. was used as a hospital by troops. Soldiers moved the pews outside and put them together to make feeding troughs for the horses. The church foundation stills shows battle scars in the form of 'bullet' (musket ball) holes in a corner pillar. The original church had a balcony for the black folks( slaves ) that would be invited to attend by their owners. When the church was rebuilt as a result of battle damage the builders did not include the balcony. Thank you for your interest. So far I have received 18 lookup requests and welcome more. Have a Great day, Donny A in Dallas,GA ********************************************* Please, don't be guilty of the one and only unpardonable sin when you stand at Judgement. *********************************************
