"Hi Doris, There has been a good bit posted on one of the ListServes I subscribe to on the Poythress family. I'm not sure which one, but I did find this information in my database. It was sent from my cousin, Al Chassereau, who I believe also subscribes to this listserve, and he may have additional information on this family. The information I'm sending does not list Nathaniel Harper but I thought it might help you with your research. Deb Al wrote: The Poythress family was very prominent in Bulloch County. They were apparently part of the Screven County Poythress families. They lived southeast of Statesboro toward Brooklet. However, I am unable to connect your William E. Poythress back to any of the Poythress lines in my data base. I show him born about 1831, and listed as William E. Poythress, Sr. CSA indicating he served in the Confederate Army. This family is mentioned on page 256 of the Screven County history book. Descendants of William E. Poythress, Sr., CSA 1 William E.

I have searched a long time for N.H.P. parents without a smidgen of luck. Cecil BRAGG married James P. DICKEY. I would like Celia's marriage date and her parents. Two of N.H.

My most heartfelt thanks for any info,stories. Bible and marriage records,any pictures of these people, my long, lost unknown relatives. Will gladly pay for any copying or postage.
