There were some Tanners in Haralson Co also. My Great Grandfather married a Tanner as his second wife. Have info on my web page at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~robbinsandestes/tanner.html If you can make a connection would love to hear from you. Doris Estes Robbins

Hello, I am looking for info on the TANNER family in Georgia. Ben TANNER lived in Carrol county at one time. He was born 1870 in Cherokee Co., AL, died in about 1960 in GA, is buried in Alpine Cemetery in Talladega Co., AL. At one time he was married to a SMITH. His brother John Thomas TANNER is my ancestor. John married Joanna JOHNSON. Also looking for info on Silas TANNER, b 1840, father of these men. He reportedly died in 1875 but place is unknown to me. Thanks, Patsy Spradley Davis Woodstock, GA

Thanks to all who answered my query about the "homeplace" cemetery and Clem. One even sent me a map...bless you. Since it is a new year and this is the busiest I've seen this list, would it be appropriate to share the names we are researching with one another? Maybe we can link some ancestors and climb over the stone walls! Emily in Alabama researching: Stevens/Stephens, Nail, Latimer, Estes, Jarrett, Jones (Nimrod and Richard), Wright

Emily in Alabama >> My great grandparents "home place" is on the Whooping Creek Church Road and Whooping Creek is down the hill from their home - I think maybe even on their land. Still have relatives living there but don't remember exactly how to get there. We always went on Highway 27 from LaGrange GA and turned to the right on to the road before getting to Carrollton. You can also get there from I85 by taking Alternate 27 at Newnan, GA. I have several ancestors buried at a cemetary on Whooping Creek Church Road. Wonder if it is where your ancestors are also buried? Good luck to you in your research. Linda, also in Alabama

And Jane, I agree, Virginia Crilly is the best!. Bill Stephenson

My Stevens ancestors are buried at "Stevens' homeplace, Oak Mtn." in Carroll County and at Whooping Creek, Clem, Ga. I visited the homeplace with my uncle years ago, but have no idea where it might be. I have never heard of Clem. Does anyone know where these places are? Emily in Alabama

Dear Jane, Thank you for posting the CSA rosters for Carroll County. My husband's ancestor, Joseph J. Johnston, was in Company K. In the service pension filed by his widow, Elizabeth Velvin Johnston, he was captured while on sick furlough during July 1864 and sent to Fort Douglas, Illinois where he died of acute dysentery in October 1864. In your roster he was listed as a sargeant. By his death he was a lieutenant. I do not have any information regarding his parentage. On his son's (John T. Johnston) death certificate, the informant listed Joseph's birth place as Scotland. I've located Joseph on the 1842 Tax Digest, 1850 and 1860 censuses. I do have the parents of his wife, Elizabeth Velvin. It does get somewhat confusing because the family is sometimes of course listed as JOHNSON without the "T". There is also the complication that in the 1860 census index the family is listed as "JORDAN". It was only by scrolling through the entire Carroll County 1860 census that I found them. I do NOT have any burial location for Elizabeth or her parents. I have heard it said that those JOHNSTON's (with a "T") are originally from Scotland while JOHNSON (without the "T") are originally from England. Is anyone researching this JOHNSTON or the VELVIN family? Thanks again, Jane for all the hard work! Carole

Must have been having one of those "senior moments" too ! http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/carroll.htm Jane

http://www.rootsweb.com/~ugenweb/ga/carroll.htm Could be I've still got too many irons in the fire ! My apologies for leaving it off the earlier message. Jane

Colonel James H. Fannin's 1st Georgia Reserves have been placed here. Bookmark the page for future reference if you wish to explore at a later date. I hope to have a personal webpage for Colonel Fannin's men up and running at some point in the near future. This is a "works in progress" page and will be updated, revised and corrected as additional data becomes available so check back often. My apologies to those of you whose letters I may not have answered yet. Time, the holidays, family committments and the grandbabies have taken large chunks of my time but it is a new year and a new beginning and I hope to get back to all of you shortly. And, a big "Thank You!" to Virginia Crilley.....You are one of the best! Best regards, Jane

Can anyone on this list help out with this cemetery?? We would love to get more Carroll Cemeteries on-line, so if you have even a tiny portion of one in which your family is buried, I'd love to post it. From: "steven leak" <stevenone@mindspring.com> Ive searched your site without success, can you point me in the proper direction? Trying to find the pickett family cemetary in carrol county, georgia. thanks stevenone@mindspring.com Virginia

I'm planning on leaving for Paulding Co, Haralson Co, and Carroll Co tomorrow night and was wondering if someone might know the hours the library will be open Tues and Wed. Any hints, helps or advice for researching in the early 1800's in these Co's would be appreciated. I will be researching the Watsons. Also where can I find a nice but inexpensive motel, I will have the children with me. Happy Trails, redfox

There is a new web site that just came on line last week. It is the GA-Cemetery and Volunteer List web site. It is located at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gacemete/ We have some cemetery list and links to others. If you have information on cemteries in GA that you would like to share with others, here is a good place to do it. You might find it interesting. Don't forget to sign the guest book! Doris

I've been asked by several to post the address for both the Archives in Atlanta and the library in Macon, Georgia. Both can be found on this url : http://www.rootsweb.com/~gagenweb/records/CsaRecords.htm Lot of exploring that can be done here by following the links. Happy browsing ! Best regards, Jane
