In the Rootsweb archives about the Carter Cemetary, in Hazelhurst, Ga., there is a name listed as Mamie Carter, b. 21 May 1889, and d. 30 Aug 1890. Has anyone on this list found such a name or other information on this person? There's a good chance this might be one my great-grandfather's children since he also had a child that died early, killed with a gun accident. The parents would have been Robert (NMI) CARTER, and Josephine LIGHTSEY, of Liberty County, Ga. Any information on this line would be appreciated. Bob Carter Greensboro, NC

Hi, The surnames in Bryan County, Georgia I'm researching are Bell, Downs, Pate, Murrow, Henrix (Hendricks), Strickland, and Futch. My maternal grandparents were Marvin Barnard Bell (son of David Clayton Bell and Edna Josephine Downs Bell) and Nevada McClelland (McLenon) Bell (daughter of William Madison McClelland and Manie V. Glisson McClelland). Our genealogy page is at: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/d/o/n/Sharlotte--N-Donnelly and our Bryan County information is under the report on "Ancestors of Kathleen Bell." Thanks, Sharlotte

I'm researching these surnames.

Hello - I'm interested in corresponding with anyone who is familiar with the BIRD family of Upper Bryan Co.! I am looking for additional proof that I am a direct descendant of Israel Robeson BIRD and his wife Ann STAFFORD BIRD. Israel is the brother of Sylvanus BIRD who lived in Bryan Co.. Israel BIRD and his father Burgund BIRD are reportedly buried at Black Creek Cemetery. In Oct. when I went home (Chatahm Co.) I tried to locate the Black Creek Cemetery where the BIRD family is buried, but I was unsuccessful. Other BIRD family members who lived in Upper Bryan Co. were Sylvanus BIRD (1741-1780) and his wife, Dinah STAFFORD BIRD (1747-1809), Andrew BIRD, Sr. (born 1772) and Eleanor GILES BIRD married in the 1790s. . . . . .Other members of the family who settle in upper Bryan were Abraham Bird (born 1770) and Alexander Bird (1774-1837). I am willing to share information on the BIRD family. If you have any knowledge of this family please contact me at jmm1682@worldnet.att.net Maureen in CA RootsWeb Sponsor

Hello, I have a great aunt who may have been buried in Bryan County. Does anyone know anything about any of the following (They may all be the same place...I'm not sure): Lower Black Prim Church Cemetery, Ellabell, Georgia. Lower Black Creek Cemetery, Bryan County, Georgia Lower Black Creek Cemetery, Ellabell, Georgia If so, would you be able to tell me if there is a Palona (Plonie) Lowery buried there, who may have died in about 1962. Also, if there are any other Lowerys buried there, I would also like to know about them...but ESPECIALLY Plonie. I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can give! Thanks a lot! Elle

I am so excited! I just wanted to let everyone know about the new Bryan County History book that became available today. I received mine, and I am so pleased with it. It is a comprehensive history of Bryan County, the first this county has ever had. It has a documented narrative history supported by heavy use of primary source materials, including old family papers, letters and diaries, county land deed records, federal manuscript census data and local tax digests and cemetery records. This book would be of interest to any serious Georgia researcher, as a lot of settlers migrated from Bryan county. This book is being placed in many libraries throughout Georgia.

Just a note about Clyde Day 1999. The weather was beautiful and most pleasant for a group picnic in the woods. Approximately 25-30 people turned out for the Clyde Day celebration -- we almost had more food than we had tables to put it on. Lots of food and drinks were left over to be taken back home. The huge Clyde Day sign donated by John Wise was very impressive against the pine trees where it was hung. Actually, Clyde Day was not held exactly at Clyde due to "snafu" support from the military. Clyde Day was held down the road at the Wise Cemetery because of less weeds and overgrowth of vegetation and perhaps small varmints. Someone at the fort "forgot" to prepare Clyde for a visit from the public -- no one bothered to cut the bushes down. Perhaps the same group who almost "forgot" to send out the official permission letter? The Wise Cemetery area seems to have been mowed more recently and had a more "safe" area on which to celebrate. We took advantage of the more open space and had our party anyway. Buddy Sullivan gave a nice talk about the Clyde area of Bryan County and told us about the new book everyone is expecting about December 1st. The only media to make an appearance was the newspaper from Richmond Hill. He aimed his digital camera at our tables laden with food and other goodies, perhaps taking a picture or maybe just adjusting his focus. If a picture sporting lots of home cooked and store bought foods appear in the Richmond Hill newspaper next week, we will know for certain if he actually snapped a picture or not. WTOC-TV's offer to do a feature presentation about Clyde never materialized -- too many other competing activities taking place on "paved roads" perhaps? Some people took wrong turns and wound up in Tattnall County before they realized the errors of their trip but we saved food for them and made them welcome when they finally got there. Carolyn Jarrard was a real trouper during the event and kept everything going on schedule and with precision. We hardly noticed when the dining canopy that we had set up earlier fell down in a puff of wind; we never did get the food underneath it anyway. The other two unopened "dining canopies" go back to Walmart tomorrow for refunds. The concept was good, but the reality of serving food under these tents was rather disappointing. Some people showed up, not quite sure they had arrived. They sorta expected a rerun of 1994 -- with high school bands, programs, arts & crafts, vendors, and Confederate reenactments. They soon settled down and felt at home with mounds of food balancing on their knees and cups of cold drinks on the ground next to their ankles. Email acquaintances showed up -- putting "faces" to their email titles. Lots of sharing of family information took place -- everyone left with the name of at least one more "Kuz'n" they had never met before. On a scale of 1 - 10, the day was perfect! Those who missed it, for whatever reason, missed out on a real memory. I, again realize, it really doesn't take much to make humans happy -- good food, cold drinks, smiling faces, and caring people with a common bond and a shared past. God smiled on Clyde last Sunday, and all of our ancestors celebrated with us in spirit. Next year come and catch the spirit -- the problems and excuses you left at home will seem much less significant when you get back home. I promise! Alfred Chassereau

There will be a Clyde reunion on Sunday, Oct. 3, 1999 at the old Clyde Cem. on the Ft. Stewart Reservation. Lunch will be shared at 12:30 so bring a lawn chair and covered dish. Hope to see you there. Carolyn Jarrard
