    1. [GACHATHAM] Lufburrow mystery solved
    2. March 14, 2001 Just wanted to send a note letting you know that I finally got a death certificate today for Helen Lufburrow Waldrep (1888-1978) and it shows that her parents were Orlando Lufburrow and Mary Muller. There's much more to learn about this, but at least I've passed that hurdle. I still suspect Orlando is buried near his father at the Laurel Grove Cemetery, but have no idea when or where Mary Muller died. Take care, Jim DuPlessis, Camden, S.C. March 9, 2001 Thanks to all of you for information received so far on the search for the father of Helen Lufburrow (1888-1978). Again, as she told it, her father was a older, wealthy Lufburrow in Savannah who died before or soon after her birth Oct. 1, 1888 there. I think the answer may lie in the Laurel Grove Cemetery on Savannah's westside. A photo of a large crypt there (shown at www. SavannahGeorgia.org) shows the inscription: "MATTHEW M. LUFBURROW/ 1787-1865 / BORN MONMOUTH COUNTY,  N.J. / MARY GREGORY LUFBURROW / 1796-1886 / BORN GOLDSBORO, N.C." It appears to be in a walled area that probably contains graves of other family members. My guess is that my wife's great-grandfather is the son of Matthew who died in 1888 and that he was probably buried near his father. I will be away this weekend, so I've I'm slow in replying to email, please understand. Thanks again, Jim

Established in 1850 on the grounds of the old Springfield Plantation, it holds many of Savannah's and Georgia's most famous historic figures.

    1. [GACHATHAM] Savannah street featured on TV Show!
    2. Esther Benitez
    3. FYI, I saw an ad last night for a program that might prove interesting to many of us on the list: This Friday night, March 9th, at 10:30 p.m. (EST) on the cable channel HGTV will be the 30 minute show "Dream Drives." Featured this week is a "dream drive" in Savannah--Bull Street. The show presents views of the streetscape and tours of some of the "dream homes" along the street, with some interviews of owners, historians, and preservationists. It should be interesting, I think. Esther Benitez (Searching for Burnside/Bowman)

    1. Re: [GACHATHAM] 1850 Census - Found dead grandfather - ALIVE.
    2. You know, looking at the census with a fresh eye, without relying on the old index might really be a good idea. At least you wouldn't repeat their mistakes. You might make fresh ones, but I think it's always better to have unprejudiced eyes staring at that faded old spidery writing. And then we'll have two completely different opinions in the case of difficult to read names. That's always better. As for mistaking the "n" for the "r" in Raysor I certainly wasn't surprised! It's a very common mistake because it's almost impossible to tell the difference between them with much of the old handwriting... so I know to search for Rayson as well as Raysor, Razor, Rayzor, Raisor, etc. :-) I'm sure you've had the experience in your own research with various names. And for those really undecipherable names I prefer to see R?ys?? rather than to see it guessed at. I always look at the patterns when names are only partial to see if they fit any of my folks. At least then the person "MIGHT" be mine and I know I'll have to look at the original myself. Such as my Risher clan. I highly suspect they've become Fisher on many documents because people are unfamiliar with the name Risher and assume it must be Fisher when the first letter is hard to decipher. Unfortunately I don't find these entries at all because there are too many Fisher folks to wade through and it's impossible to tell which might be my Rishers. I end up trusting that the transcriptionist was sure that it was Fisher. But if it says ?isher. I know there is hope. :-) Keep up the good work! -Bev ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Stowell" <[email protected]> <snip> > The biggest problem in transcribing is trying to figure out another person's > handwriting especially when they were using quill or very early ink pens to > write all this info. >

    2. Tim! A Big Thank You for posting the 1850 census!! On page 225A I found a gg uncle I was searching for, H.C. (Henry Chalmers) Raysor. I've run across him in the indexes but he isn't a direct ancestor so I hadn't expended effort to find the full entry. But you made it easy, so I looked over the page I knew I'd find him on and what I saw could have blown me over with a feather. I found him living with his grandfather (my gg grandfather) H.J. (Henry James) Chalmers. It astounded me because we all thought his grandfather had been dead for 30 years! He didn't die in 1820, he just moved from Colleton County, SC to Savannah! It also appears that he may have a new wife whom we knew nothing about! Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work. You are certainly revealing accidental treasures that are worth more than gold. Btw, Rayson as he appears in the transcription should be Raysor (100% certainty on this, no guesswork) The H.J. Chalmers in your record is the son of James M. Raysor and Elizabeth Sophia Chalmers. He married Sarah Wilson and is buried in Swallow Savannah Cemetery near Allendale, SC. Thanks again, Tim.
