I am sure most of you are aware of this article but for some newcomers -- You should get a copy of the article written by Wm. H. Dumont in the Nathional Genealogical Society Quarterly, March 1966, Vol. 54, Number 1 on Burke Co. GA early settlers. It is about 27 pages long and provides many names for these early settlers. Sandy

I'd like to know the likely origin of the subject name (or variations) and whether it is still current in or around Burke county if anybody can enlighten me. Thanks in advance, Norman in damp Dunedin, NZ.

Hi. Can anyone add any information about the following early St. George Parrish/ Burke Co., Ga. Davises? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Donnis "Georgians in the American Revolution," by Davis There is a Col. Davis, a John and Thomas Davis in this particular source. ...There was also a Col. Davis who married Miss Maria Ingram in 1804 Burke County..... Col. Davis is mentioned on page 242 in "The Memoirs of Tarleton Brown." John Davis is listed in list of militiamen who lost property while serving under Colonel Andrew Pickens in 1779. Audited Accounts strongly suggest that most of the men on this list participated in the Kettle Creek Campaign if not in the battle itself. >From the Auditor General Account Book 1778-1780, pp. 160-163, South Carolina Department of Archives and History. THOMAS DAVIS is listed in "A Detachment of Colonel James Williams, South Carolina Militia, Assigned to Colonel Andrews Pickens' Command. Thomas Davis, Revolutionary War Pension of Thomas Davis, Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina, S 1509. Also mentioned in letter from Matt Roche, Provisional Mar. Savannah, 14th March, 1769. "The following October, Thomas Davis of "Saint George Parish" ( later BURKE CO.), who had received land on the south side of the Ogeechee River, was kidnapped by a party of Creek Indians but released after being warned that he and his neighbors were granted land that was actually Indian Lands and that if the white settlers did not leave, the Indians, "intended to take their Horses and Cattle and kill the people." (could Thomas have been the grandfather of John and Thomas A. Davis?) ...........Therefore, the English Crown Grant Davises weren't the only early Davises that settled in St. George Parrish or Burke Co., Ga......... When time which steals our years away.. shall steal our pleasures too... memories of the past remain...and half our joys renew...

Does anybody have genealogical data for surnames that fit the subject skeleton in Burke county 1780 through 1860? Thanks in advance, Norman in squally Dunedi, NZ.

Does anyone know if there were cohabitation records for Burke and Screven Counties? Treena Jenkins

After Jake Cook's reply to my last post, have been vigoursly perusing all my Burke count maps and have come to the conclusion that my Butler Buckley was probably residing at the head of a Rocky Creek branch somewhere between Sardis and Alexandria at the time of his death ca. 1817. Noticed that several churches and cemeteries are on the maps of the area, including Bethel Cemetery, Springfield Church, Asbury Church, and Sardis Cemetery. Does anyone know of membership directories and/or cemetery directories for these are available? Regards, Paul Buckley

Can anyone on the list help me locate exactly where Tax District One was in Burke County in 1798? I am searching for my gggggrandfathers (Butler Buckley) grave and land holdings. I think his neighbors at that time were Nicholas Skinner, James Lambert, Benjamin Bell, William Ogdon, William Fenner,and Edmund Ogdon, among others. Thanks, Paul Buckley

I am John R. Clarke, the great-grandson of Robert William DANIEL (b. ca.1810 in NC and d. 23 Nov 1865) who married (1st) Julia Rachel FLORENCE in 1841 and (2nd) Mary Jane RENEAU in 1852 who is my great-grandmother. The names of their combined children are Julia Rachel, Mary, James R., William Russell, and Alice Elizabeth DANIEL. I am specifically looking for information on a William DANIEL who lived in Burke County, GA ca. 1800 and I believe to be the father of Robert W. DANIEL. Records of GA State Land Grants show William DANIEL as moving from Burke to Jefferson County in 1819. I believe the Robert W. DANIEL I am searching for is a son of this person and there might possibly be another son named James. Both of these two DANIEL boys end up in District 48 of Jefferson County in 1850. I believe this "William DANIEL" to be James William DANIEL of Granville County, NC but that is a guess. I would like better evidence of this fact. Anyone with information on this William DANIEL, Robert W. DANIEL, James DANIEL or anyone of these children, I would like to hear from you. Thanks in advance. John R. Clarke For some of the best from the "Outdoors" visit our websites at: www.outdoorwriter.com or www.online-outdoors.com

I am researching my 3rd g-grandfather Matthew Sharp. He lived there in Burke in the late 1700s to early 1800s. He was bn in Va. in 1776. I am not sure if he came there with his parents or alone. He married his wife there her name was Elizabeth (I think Easley), in abt 1800. They had their first son there his name was Easley Sharp. If anyone can help me with any of these please let me know. Thanks Richard Sharp

John Robert Pierce(b1876) was Chief of Police for 25 years in Sylvania Screven Co., GA. His parents were John R. Pierce and Nancy Elizabeth BOLTON Pierce. I would like to know, "who were Nancy Elizabeth Bolton parents?"

I have here a small genealogy on a Herrington line out of Emanuel county, that has an Alfred Herrington. but think this is another line. This Alfred was born in Nove of 1854 and his wife was Annie Wilkins. He was a son of a Manning Herrington. I am more familiar with the desc. of Archibald Herrington line, but couldn't find your alfred and Lucy in my data. Who was your Alfred's father?

Does anyone have access to the 1870 census? I'm looking for Lucy and Alfred Herrington and their children. Vrtreena R. Jenkins

Thanks for the info I really appreciate it.

When I reviewed some census records today, I came away with a question. In case some of the Oglesbee cousins are checking, I decided to post here. In the 1900 census, I found the following family. Does anyone have any information that might link Willie Oglesbee as a brother to Jasper Newton, Virginia Eugenia (Morris) and Mary Ann Arelya (Wilkins)? I know Willie is the right age and in the right county, but that is all I know. Willie H b Nov 1863 married to Ida E Children - Jimmie, Charlie, Eugene, Mattie, John, George Thanks Cheryl Oglesbee Flowers dc32666@aol.com
