Joan I just checked my map Havre De Grace is on the eastern shore of MD in Harford Co bordering Cecil Co Cecil is where my MILLERs were and where the ALEXANDERs were at New Munford or Munster or whatever the huge plantation was that was [artly owned by the ALEXANDER brothers. So looks interesting if your folks were that close to my MILLERs and ALEXANDERs it is a good bet we traveled together to the south on the great wagon trail. Our folks stopped in Anson Co NC for awhiloe then Nathaniel MILLER went on to GA but his parents stayed in NC. They traveled in 1752 from MD to NC our first land grant in NC was dated 1752 our Nathaniel MILLER was in Anson NC until about 1759 when he went to GA then he returned to NC for awhile when his father Robert died 1765 and nathaniel inherited some NC land that was actually in Spartanburg SC then he went back to GA and stayed until his death 1790. His wife was a Colson and they too were in Anson Co NC b4 coming to GA. does any of this correspond to your family's travels????? Charles. Don't worry bout me, I'm as organized as a henhouse full of chickens. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joan and Huie Landrum <jlandrum@tvec.net> To: <GABURKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2000 7:07 AM Subject: Re: ALEXANDER > Thanks for all the good information on the Maryland > Whitaker family.

Joan, Thanx for your response. Maybe we can sort out the origin of these folks. I know from experience in my military travels that families had to rely on each other to survive and likely moved together as a group particularly for safety against the Indians so where one group went the rest went also. I cannot answer if there were Whitakers as neighbors to my Alexanders in MD or elsewhere but I want to help if I can so: Here is a quote fro one of my little books fro MD "WHITAKER, ABRAHAM. "'There were at least three, and possibly four, men of marriageable age named Abraham Whitaker living in the northern part of Baltimore County between 1750 and 1774: Abraham, son of Charles and grandson of John; his cousin Abraham, son of Abraham and grandson of John; and the Abraham Isaac Whitaker who married nary Potee [Putee, Potee, Poteet] on December 15, 1757. The third Abraham died in Orange County, North Carolina in 1808. His parents have not been identified." (Ref." "The Whitaker Family of Baltimore County, 1677-1767" by Beanmont W. Whitaker, Maryland Historical Magazine, vol. 79, No. 2, paqe 177 (summer, 1984). ~hin article also offers the following speculation: "Isaac Whitaker, son of John, date of birth unknown, marriage date unknown to Sarah ----, died circa 1765. Their children are assumed to be: Abea whitaker, Sarah Whitaker (married Richard Rhodes on February 9, 1740), and Abraham Whitaker (married Mary Petee on December 15, 1757). 'The chiMren of Isaac whitaker and his wife sarah-are highly speculative. The wife's given name comes from a deed. The inventory of his estate, filed July 20, 1765, is signed by Abea Whitaker, who is assumed to be a son. The marriage of Sarah and Abraham Isaac are recorded in the church register but their births are not recorded." (Ref: whitaker, bc. cit., page 179). It should be pointed out, however, that the name "Abea" nay not be correct; it may be "Abra" which is short for Abraham. The 1765 inventory of "Isaac Whitacre" names "peter Whitaker" as his next of kin and "Abra Whitaker" as his administrator (Ref: Abstracts of the rnventories or the Prerogative Court of Maryland, 1763-1766, by Vernon L. skinner, Jr., page 77 (1989). WHITAXER, WILLIAM. William Whitaker, of Baltimore County, Maryland, married (1) Avarilla Donahue (died 1771), daughter of Henry Donahue and Rachel Smithson, and (2) Avarilla Baker.

They were the parents of John, Susanna, William, Rachel, Israel, Mary, Sarah (married John Moffett), and Eleanor (married Richard Allison (Ref: RWB, citing "Digging into the History of the Oldest Xnown Harked Crave," by John Hawkins, in the Lenoir news-Topic, February 5, 1991)."""Marylanders to Carolina by Peden" Robert Whitacre owned Coxes Park tract of land 1739, 1749, 1754 in Cecil Co MD or at least parts of it.

Thanks for all the good information on the Maryland Whitaker family. I will go over it when I have time and try to link it to some of my Whitakers. My Eliphalet, son of Jonathan Whitaker, was born at Huntington, Long Island, NY and went with his father and family to Somerset Co., NJ in the 1740's. He built a house there and his children were born there. In 1777 he bought a house and property at Faggs Manor, Chester Co., Pa which he sold about 1783. He was in Havre de Grace, MD for awhile with his son Platt Whitaker and left sometime after that for Burke Co., GA. Platt,s children were Sally, John Platt, Nathaniel B., Albert, Edwin, Platt, Eliza, Mary Rogers, Alfred Eliphalet, Ruth, and James Bayles Whitaker. I don't know how my Jonathan Whitaker line connects with the Maryland line that you sent but will look into it. Again, thanks, and if I find any connection with the Alexander family I will get in touch.

In my research on these two lines, I've found that I'm descended from Granbury FLOYD who settled near Waynesboro, Burke Co., GA about 1785. He and his wife (Margaret ??) were both born in NC. Does anyone have any info. on Granbury and Margaret? Also, does anyone have any info. on my Great-Grandparents, Allen E. FLOYD and Janie KENNEDY? Allen's parents were Jason Andrew FLOYD and Jane WATERS. Thanks for any and all help with this. Pam

Dear Jack, I'm sorry to hear you've been ill. By 'all' you must men you still have children at home. It's tough when you have a houseful of sickies. Apparently nobody told you beer wards off the flu. Ha! I like the stuff, but I limit myself to a couple a year. I get a hangover with just one. I'm a real sissy when it comes to alcohol. I've really been lucky this year. I thought I was coming down with a cold last Tues., but turns out it was just my sinuses-it was gone the next day. Did you try that new medication everyone is talking about for the flu? Several years ago, all three of my boys and I had it at the same time. I took them to their pediatrician and he prescribed some kind of drug they use to treat Alzheimer patients. In about 48 hours we were all fit again. I described it to my sister, (she has a masters in nursing) and she said it could have caused halucinations. I was a teenager in the 60's but I never went on a "trip"! I'm going on a little trip Saturday. I'm meeting another Oglesbee cousin in Charlotte to do some research in the library there. I sure wish you did'nt live so far away. I'm enjoying meeting all my new cousins. Cheryl was an Oglesbee and married a Flowers. Her mother died and her dad remarried a real wicked old stepmonster. When Cheryl's dad died, Cubie (the stepmother), went to all the family shindigs, and Cheryl never got to go. She didn't even know about them. So, I've been filling her in on all the stuff she's missed, and sent her all my records and books on the Hillises and Oglesbees, and so on. She's a descendant of Richard Oglesby>William>Jasper Newton>Jasper Charlie (mar. Savannah Lottie Hillis)>Tom Wright >Cheryl. And the Hillises have the same Oglesby line to Richard>Martha (mar. Jacob Hillis>Richard Hillis>Savannah Lottie Hillis . I think that makes us uh.....double second cousins 4 times removed? I never quite got the hang of figuring cousins. Well Jack, I'm rambling on again. I still haven't finished the Ogilvie-Nova Scotia file I'm working on. Maybe next week. It's always good to hear from, I just hope you're feeling better. I'll write again soon. Sheryl

Just recently learned about some of the ALEXANDERs that I have researched long ago came to BURKE Co GA or old St. George's Parish in the mid 1700's. If you are researching these families I would like to correspond with you and see if we can help each other. Apparently these ALEXANDERs came from NC to GA or from MD thru NC to GA and were traveling with some of my other family surnames. Let's swap stories Charles. Don't worry bout me, I'm as organized as a henhouse full of chickens.

Charles, Eliphalet Whitaker and his wife Ruth Bayles Whitaker came from Havre de Grace, MD to Burke Co., GA and in 1788 he was granted land in Burke Co. (later Jefferson Co.) and lived near Louisville. According to one source with whom my sister corresponded (oral tradition) the Whitakers came with the Lawson's from NC to GA. Eliphalet's son Benjamin Whitaker married the daughter of Gov. David Emanuel. One of his sisters married a Lawson. I believe that the Whitakers may have had Alexander neighbors in Somerset Co., N.J. I will have to look for my notes on this. What surnames are connected with your Alexander family? Any Whitakers?

Happy new year! Trying to connect loose ends from the previous millenium and am very interested in the content of the message you sent me back in October. I have enclosed it below to refresh your memory as to what I am referring. I'm sure I would have at the instant I received this message replied and thanked you, normally I have enough couth to do that. If not please accept my apologies and I now thank you for your kindness. What apparently is the story here is that Nathaniel MILLER who settled Burke Co 1759 came to this area from eastern shore of MD his mother was an ALEXANDER, Mary ALEXANDER and they were in the New Munster area of Cecil Co MD but had previously been in somerset MD. They came to this country from Ireland and were Scots by all accounts that I can find. QUESTION! Are you descended from the ALEXANDERS? or were you just trying to help me out of my sink hole in the wall I cannot seem to cross? I need to correspond with others of the ALEXANDER family of Burke Co GA to see what they might know that I don't know. Can you help me contact such folks? Thanx again Charles. Don't worry bout me, I'm as organized as a henhouse full of chickens. ----- Original Message ----- From: <HILLISGA@cs.com> To: <GABURKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 24, 1999 6:19 PM Subject: Re: Alexander, Burke County, Cemeteries > Hi Charles, > The earliest listings for Alexanders are English Crown Grants: > Alexander, David.

I got it too, So maybe you were just all busy doing other things. Cheryl

Hi Sheryl- The list must be working because I got your message. I guess people were busy during the holidays and the list was quiet. Kathy

Just checking to see if I need to resubcribe to the list! Haven't received a message in a week. Sheryl

I am searching for a Matthew Sharp, he was bn in Va. abt 1776. He was married to Elizabeth ?. His middle name probably began with a A, as Albert. His family were in Burke in the early 1800s then they moved on to west Georgia. His sons I think were Francis J, Esley(Easley), maybe Fielding and one of his daughters was Henrietta Elmira Sharp. This family in abt 1830 settled in Stewart county Ga. Family history states they were prominent citizens, most were Masons. I have seen a Sharp family in Burke with a son named Rufus, and I think they are related to this family but am unsure how as of now. If you can help me I would deeply appreciate it. Richard Sharp

Dear Betty, I was searching tonight for Revolutionary War Records and ran across this little bit that might interest you. I'll add a hyperlink at the end so you can go view this for yourself. I believe it was in May 1780 that the British published a list of traitors to the Crown. Named is "George Galphin Rebel Superintendent of Indian Affairs" Happy New Year, Sheryl Padgett <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~gataylor/traitor.htm">Rootsweb Ga. Revolutioary War Records</A>

HI I guess that I am the new kid on the block. I am looking for information on the Ganas/ Ganus/Gainus of Burke County. John and Sarah are listed in the 1810 Colleton District, S.C. census and latter moved to Burke County where they raised there family. My line is a Benjamin Ganas born abt 1790 and married a Elizabeth Davis daughter of John Davis both of Colleton District, S.C. Anyone researching these lines? Also does anyone know where Ganas/Ganus Cemetery is located around Blythe or Keysville. Thanks Joe
