Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2001 From: "cgrafton" <cgrafton@bellsouth.net> To: <cjarrard@earthlink.net> Subject: Bryan County Query Name=Charlie Copeland Grafton Query=I would like to correspond with anyone who is a descendant of James COPELIN/COPELAND, born approximately 1775 in Bryan/Chatham/Effingham County, GA. He married Dorcas ROBERTS. Their children were Martha Ellen, (Patsy - married Sanuel HENDERSON); Mary Ann, (Polly - married James REEVES); Isabel (married Peter HELVESTON); Isham (married Rebecca WELLS). James was given a land grant on Three Rivers Lake, (MS Territory) for 640 acres in 1797. The area later became Baldwin Co., AL. and then Washington Co., AL. By 1805 the land belonged to the "Heirs of J. COPELIN." I have no proof that James ever physically lived on the property. However, there is proof that Dorcas did live there. So, I suppose it is possibe that he died in GA., and not in AL. Some say Dorcas was part Indian. I have no proof of this either. Who were James's parents? Who were Dorcas's parents? I would like to compare/share information with anyone from this family; however, at this time I have little to offer. I do know that this James COPELIN/COPELAND is the grandfather of James COPELAND, the noted outlaw from the Pascagoula River Valley, Jackson Co., MS, who was executed in Perry Co., MS in 1857. I have seen the COPELIN/COPELAND name spelled a variety of ways - even within the same family. Any information in the research of this family would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Just wanted to let everyone know about the virtual cemetery, the "Find-a-Grave" site, at: http://www.findagrave.com It's possible to add new "burials" or to add information to those already there, as well as to add photos and leave "flowers." As the number of "burials" grows, the site may help someone with their genealogy and even unite lost cousins. Hope you'll participate. Thanks, Sharlotte

Hi, Below is the message I've sent out to other genealogists looking for information on my daddy's family (Neelys & Kings). Also, just wanted to let you know about family info and photos (Neelys, Kings, Bells, McClellands, etc.) now up on county genealogy pages at: Chatham County, GA: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/chatham.htm Bulloch County, GA: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/bulloch.htm Bryan County, GA: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/bryan.htm DeKalb County, GA: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/dekalb.htm Hi, I hope you're looking for a good mystery because I have one regarding my Neely (Neeley/Nealy) family. My most important question about the Neelys is: Was Joseph E. Neely (born 1862 in North Carolina) a son of Edmond (born about 1823 in Horry County, SC) and Elizabeth Nealy from Columbus County, NC? Here's what I think was going on, but I need someone to confirm this: (1) Eligha (born about 1776) and Winneford Nealy moved from Ireland to North Carolina. (2) One of their sons, Edmond Nealy, was born in Horry County, SC but was in Columbus County, NC when he served in the Confederacy. In 1860 he, his wife, and children were living in Columbus County, NC. His wife was Elizabeth and their known children were: Dalmon (Datmon), J. H., Lester, Richmond, and Louisa. Was Joseph E. also one of their children? After the war the 1870 census shows Elizabeth with her son Dalmon (Datmon) in Horry County, SC. (3) Joseph E. Neely (Neeley/Nealy) was born in North Carolina in 1862. He married Charlotte (Sharlotte) A. Lee (born in 1853) from Horry County, SC, and they had three known children: Joseph Bowden Neely, Sr. (1888-1928), Ada C. (born 1892), and Ruthie B. (born 1894). (4) Joseph Bowden Neely, Sr., my paternal grandfather, married Nettie King, and they moved to Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia where all their children and grandchildren were born. My Kings are an even bigger mystery. They come from along the border of South Carolina and North Carolina. My most important question about the Kings is: Were Lonnie O. King and Nettie King truly the children of George Edward King and Margaret Elizabeth Turnage King? (1) Eddie (probably George Edward) King (born about 1869 probably in Chesterfield County, SC or somewhere along the border of the Carolinas) married Margaret (maybe Marguerite) (probably Margaret Elizabeth Turnage) (born about 1870 probably in Chesterfield County, SC). One or both of them supposedly had French ancestry. They had at least three children, Lonnie O. (1890-1931), Pauline (born 1894), and Nettie King (1896-1958). After Margaret's death, Eddie probably remarried, probably to Alma Cauthin Kelly. (2) With his first wife, Lizzie Huggins, Lonnie O. King (1890-1931) had at least two children, Pauline King (married name unknown) and Rembert Lonzo King (1909-1969). By his second wife, Mary Margaret Chappell (1896-1977), he had a daughter, Helen Chappell King (born 1928), who married Jesse Lewis Greene (1923-2000). (3) Rembert Lonzo King married Nina Lee Bristow, and they had at least two children, Ramona King (married name unknown) and Marion Douglas King (1928-1998). In 1936 Rembert Lonzo King lived in Hamer, Dillon County, SC. His son, Marion Douglas King, married Mina S. (maiden name unknown), and they had at least three children. (4) Lonnie King lived in Saint Paul's, Robeson County, NC when he died, and he is buried near Raeford, Hoke County, NC. Meanwhile, Lonnie O. King's sister, Nettie King (1896-1958), my paternal grandmother, married Joseph Bowden Neely, Sr. (1888-1928), and they moved to Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia. They had two sons who survived infancy, Joseph Bowden Neely, Jr. (1923-1974), my father, and James Robert Neely, Sr. (born 1927). Joseph Bowden Neely, Jr. married Kathleen Bell (born 1922), and they had one daughter, me. James Robert Neely, Sr. married Betty Douglas (born 1927), and they had two sons. I have spent years tracking down just this little information. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

From: PROPHETS7@aol.com Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2001 23:08:21 EST HI, I am searching for a very old BIRD FAMILY, in Southeast GA. The names: EDMUND, SCILLA, SOUTH Q., CLARA BIRD. They are listed as Mulattoe on the 1880 census, CAMDEN COUNTY, GA. No where else are they found in CAMDEN COUNTY. Therefore it is believed that EDMUND BIRD came from another area. He was either White or Mulattoe. He was not listed as Black. He was a landowner in Camden, 1880 census, but no other info is found. BIRD is not a family name common to that particular county. Can you help? CLARA BIRD, was listed in that census as Mulattoe. She had children: IDA, WILLIAM, EUGENE, GEORGE, CHARLES, ELIZABETH and RICHARD. Any info or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ADAM BIRD
