Jerry, you are a gentleman and a scholar! Thanx Graham Jones

Hi Peter, The information that I have is fromThe Book of Marriages of Chatham County, Vol II, 1852 - 1857. On page 26 it shows that GETZ, John married Elleonorra MEYGAND on 16 February 1854 by A. J. Karn. From the way it is pronounced Meygand and Wiegand sound enough alike to be misspelled. Was Elleonorra and Laura the same person ??? Also in the 1860 Census of Chatham County it shows: GETZ, John 33 M Boot and Shoemaker Bavaria Germany Elleonorra 26 F " Henry 5 M Savannah Georgia Louisa 4 F " Emma 2 F " In the 1860 Census there are no MEYGANDS but there are WEIGANDS: WEIGAND, Conrad 27 M Boardinghouse Keeper Bavaria Germany Savannah Hotel " Anna 23 F " Conrad 3 M Savannah Georgia Anna 9/12 F " WEIGAND, Peter 44 M Carpenter Bavaria Germany Mary 38 F " Mary 18 F " Margaret 16 F " Joseph 14 M " Emma 9 F " Anna 7 F " Adam M 3/12 M " Back to the marriage book: It shows: HEINSLER, Henry married Miss Emma Getz on 21 September 1875 by A. M. Wynn M.G. She would have been 17. SAWYER, William married Louisa Ambrose on 113 April 1854 by A. J. Karn. AMBROSE, Louis married MRS. MARY Brannan on 5 June 1871. Hope some of this will help....Joe Wilharm

I'm searching for any family connections or information relating to the marriage between Herbert Lee WOOD and Louise AMBOS of Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia. The only dates that I have are for Louise's father, George Henry Ambos (b.November 29, 1878 -- d. May 02, 1947). I'm guessing that Louise was born between 1898 - 1918. I can offer no other information on the Wood side of the family, except for the names of their children: Sylvia Ann, Bobbie Louise, Herbert Lee, Caren Josephine and George Ambos. Thanks for any help or connections that you might offer. Peter Nesbitt [email protected]

Thanks Judy.

My Bennetts came from England to Isle of Wight, VA to NC to GA. If your Mercer is Georgia based you should be proud. He was an industrious and good man. Was of his descendants was song writer Johnny Mercer. When Rev. John Wesley, who later became to progenitor of Methodism, was a young Church of England minister in Savannah in the 1730s, he was wrongly accused of several wrong doings, primarily slander, by the powerful uncle of a young lady who jilted him. On a cold December night, several friends, including Samuel Mercer's servants, rowed him across the Savannah River from where he proceeded to Beaufort and caught a boat to Charles Town and from there a vessel back to home and destiny. Mercer served as one of the President's assistants in the eraly Georgia government. He was one of the members approved my 5th great-grandfather, Captain David Cutler Braddock's, petition for a grant of 500 acres on the Ogeechee on January 27, 1747. On July 23, 1755, Samuel Mercer loaned Captain Braddock 84 pounds, 7 shillings, 2 pence for use in outfitting a privateer. The List of Early Settlers of Georgia says: "Mercer, Jane Parker--W.[wife] of Saml. [Thos.]; embark'd 6 Dec. 1732; arrived 1 Feb. 1732; Widow of Saml. Parker who died 20 July 1733." She arrived with her husband on the first boatload to Georgia. "Mercer, Saml.--Tanner; embark'd 15 June 1733; arrived 29 Aug. 1733; lot 99 in Savannah. His 1. wife dying, he marry'd Jane the widow of Saml. Parker 6 May 1734, and lives on her own lot when in town, but he took land up in the country tho he has no grant of it. In 1736 he cultivated 5 acres, from 2 of which he 25 bushells of Indian corn, the other 3 being under pease were destroyed by deer; he also split 6000 pine trees on this lot. Made 2[nd] constable 24 Oct. 1738." "Mercer, Anne, w.[wife]--Dead 29 Sept. 1738." I hope this proves of use to you. Jerry B.

Thank you very much for the lookup. I really appreciate it. Ann

thank you. Mary Ellen

Jerry, You are very nice to have helped me with the Winkler - Mitchell lookup. The Mitchells just keep running!

No, Jerry, I am married to the IN-FL Bennetts. They never stopped in GA for more than a night. My GA line is: Mitchell, Winkler, Tift, Goodyear, Flint, and Mercer. Unfortunately, the William T. Mitchell - Josephine Jeanette Winkler link in Savanah keep me looking for clues. I know they married in Savanah in 1844. I understand WINKLER is an old Savanah name. Mitchell, who knows?

Jerry, What a generous offer :-) I'm looking for any of the following surnames: Youmans, Yeomans, Evans, Fiveash. Thanks so much for your offer.
