Dear Judy, We lost your address and, as previously discussed, we share Martha Ann Johnson (as our great great grandmother, too!). This is through Mary Anne Herrington - her daughter on the Herrington side. We visited Sardis, GA but lost your phone number, name and address. We had intented to visit with you at that time. There are other records, pictures, etc. that are available but the person in Sardis refused to let us have them. Please get in touch. It is possible there is something that we have that may be of interest to you. Please email us directly so that we may exchange telephone numbers and other information thnk1@aol.com. Look forward to hearing from you. Sherry Dortch

I have several Herrington's in my own ROYAL genealogy. My great-great grandfather married in Burke Co. to a Martha Ann (Johnson) Herrington, she being previously married brought her Herrington children into the household. Ref: Burke County Ga. Census Records. I am looking for someone who may have connection to this couple. The ROYAL genealogy is quite extensive and can be found on-line. I would like to learn more about the Herringtons, and also perhaps gain more info on my Berry Royal. Berry had a sister named Nancy. The Burke name also appears in my data as an allied line. And I am direct desc. of the Hurst line that was located in Effingham Co. Ga. Any bites??? Contact me: Judy Rountree Mason 2jv@bellsouth.net Effingham Co. Ga.

Diane; Hi, just got around to my messages today. I don't have the names you mentioned, but I just started my research. It does seem more than coincidence that there are Burke's and Hurst's in our family lines. My husband is the Hurst, and he stated they were from Millen, Munnerlyn and Savannah. I found a second cousin of his through the Genforum web site. Her name is Vrtreena Jenkins, she has done far more extensive research than I have. She might have those names. Her e-mail address is goldenocean@hotmail.com. Did you post a message at Genforum? along time ago? I would love to exchange information with you, my number is 757-493-7462. Looking forward to hearing from you. Barbara

Hi, Brenda My husband is a Hurst, who has a Burke line in his family. His great grandmother was Bethia Herrington, who married AllenBurke, born 1844. One of their children was Emma Burke, born April 1882. Emma married Joseph/Joe Hurst. They are on the 1900 BurkeCounty Census, with one child, Ida Lee Hurst, Born Sept. 1899. Allen Burke had children, Millie, Jimie or James, Henry, Mathew, Jack?, Deborah. Bethia, was said to be full-blooded Indian. Hope this helps you Barbara

Tara and Sherry My husband, who is a Hurst has a Herrington line in his family. His grandmother was Emma Burke, born Herrington, dae of birth April 1882, she married Joseph Hurst on 11-27-1898. Her mother wasBethia Herrington born 1862, tombstone has 1855. Bethia married Allen Burke, born 1844.Bethia's mother's name was Lucy.

The state of GA Sec of State has a website that lists all the land lotteries and grants and who was eligible. It wasn't an act of congress but a state land grant. ----- Original Message ----- From: Havener <phavener@javanet.com> To: <GABURKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 28, 1999 9:02 PM Subject: Re: Burke Co.

Sheryl Can't remember if I thanked you for this info. before, so let me say thanks alot in case I did forget. Barbara

Sheryl Yes, please send whatever you have. I really appreciate all of your time and effort. Can't thank you enough. Barbara

Thanks for the info, Judy! Cyndi

Barbara, The list I sent is all I have, unless you want white families also. I already checked for "free persons of color", but did not find any Hursts. The 1820-1840 censuses list only the head of household's name. It does not list the names of the spouse, children, or slaves, but if you want these, I'll send them to you. They do list sex and age. I have only a few pages for the 1860 and 1870 censuses-I only copied the ones that had the names I was researching on them. I will dig them up and see if there are any Hursts.Will let you know if I find anything else. Sheryl

Sheryl If possible could you see if the Hurst name is on any of the documents you have. Thank a lot. Barbara

You're welcome, and have a Happy Holiday season! sheryl

Sorry Steve, The children are sometimes named, but not this time. Have you thought of old church records? I've gotten clues from them before, but I have only a few pages from a couple of churches, and the copies are almost illegible. I do know I haven't seen any Letts or Lotts.If you have access to the Ga. State Archives in Atlanta, they have some Bible records, and church records on microfilm. It's just a thought. Good Luck and Happy Holidays, Sheryl

Sheryl,I would appreciate any LETT family records that you would share,Thank You,Mel LETT ----- Original Message ----- From: <HILLISGA@cs.com> To: <GABURKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, November 29, 1999 7:53 PM Subject: Re: census 1830-1850 > Cyndi, I have census records from 1820 to 1850, a few marriage records for > only a few surnames, and land lottery, and land grant records from 1755.

Bless you Sheryl. We have info that Mills was in the area as early as 1804, but 1802 makes it a little nicer. We have also been trying to connect Joshua and West, without success at this point.... Interesting, that you mention Early County. When Mills died in 1825, he had land in Early....might be a connection there! Again, ever so grateful. Pat

Sheryl Thanks so much for the information. Barbara
