Hi, Some of the Bulloch County, Georgia surnames I'm researching are McClelland (McLenon), Glisson, Cone, Strickland, Hylton (Hilton), Futch, Martin, Bell, and Downs.

Glisson McClelland). Our genealogy information is at: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/d/o/n/Sharlotte--N-Donnelly under the report on "Ancestors of Kathleen Bell." Thanks, Sharlotte

Transcribed, verbatim, from handwritten document, in my possession: Biography Joseph Samuel Murrow, the youngest child of John Murrow and Mary Amelia Badger Murrow. Born in Jefferson County Georgia June 7th 1835. Attended old field schools and Springfield Academy in Effingham County also Buckhead Academy, Burke County. Was admitted into Mercer University in January 1856 as a beneficiary of the Georgia State Convention. Remained in College one and a half years, rising into the Senior Class and unwisely left to enter the Indian Mission Work. In September 1857 was appointed by the Rehoboth Association as missionary to the Indians. Was ordained at the same time by the Macon Church, by a large Presbytery composed of Adiel Sherwood, J.H. Campbell, Russell Holman, Jacob King, B.F. Tharp, S. Landrum and a number of others. Started at once to my field of labor, arriving November 11th 1857. Labored four years in connection with brother H.F. Buckner. Was instrumental in establishing several churches and baptized over two hundred Creeks. In February 1860 constituted the first Baptist Church among the Seminoles. In 1861 was chosen by the Seminole Council and soon after commissioned by the Confederate States Government as agent for the tribe. Remained with them during the years of War, disbursing large sums of Annuity money, furnishing rations from Government Stores to thousands of destitute Indian refugee families and not for one moment losing sight of my great lifework preaching the Gospel. Baptized between two and three hundred Indians during the years of War. In 1865 ordained John Jumper and James Factor pastors of the Seminole Church, now numbering over two hundred and sent them back to their own country. Found a refuge for one year in Texas from the anarchy and fearful reconstruction of the Indian Terry. In 1867 returned and settled at Atoka Choctaw Nation. Immediately began the arduous labor of reorganizing the Choctaw Churches, scattered and demoralized by War. In 1872 organized the Choctaw and Chickasaw Baptist Association with 15 churches and 700 members. It now (in 1878) numbers 26 churches and 1100 members. In 1874 built the first comfortable and respectable Baptist church house ever built among the Indians at Atoka. The Rehoboth Mission has accomplished a good work among the Indians. It is firmly fixed, well organized and well instructed. There are over 30 churches of its planting and more than 2000 Indian members living and dead in connection with the work. I have been married three times. In 1857 to Miss Nannie E. Tatom of Itawauba County, Mississippi. She lived only 10 months. A Godly woman and splendid missionary. In 1859 I was married to Miss Clara Burns, daughter of Willis Burns, a missionary to the Choctaws. She lived nine years and died in 1868, O what a sore trial it was to see my beloved die and be left alone. She was a superior wife, mother and missionary. In 1869 I married Miss Jane Davidson of Canada. I have had five children, one by my first and four by my second wife. Only one is living. See Philippians 1st chapter, 23 & 24 verses. J.S. Murrow 1878 Missionary of the Rehoboth Assn Georgia Dear Bro Kilpatrick I am sorry to have delayed this somewhat, but work is so pressing. Regret I did not get it into two pages.

The following is from the Screven County list. This has also happened to me and two of our members on this list are guilty of this. I would greatly appreciate it if the person who posted my name and my parents names to the internet would remove that information. Something said in an e-mail correspondence to establish who we are does not give you the right to post it. Also, many seem to be in a rush to post every name they can find to the net and are perpetuating incorrect informtion. Slow down a bit and take a little time to verify that these people are actually a part of the line you are posting. Others copy the incorrect information, add it to their database, and repost it to be copied again. Before long we will have so much bogus information out there that it will be difficult to sieve it out. I'm climbing down carefully from the soap box now.
