I don't have much other advise to offer at this time, but wanted to correct your spelling of Glenn county should be GLYNN county. Will make your search easier.

"Whitfeild, Geo--A. B. Minister at Savannah; embark'd 6 Jan. 1738; arrived 7 May 1738. Agrant of 300 acres was made him in Savannah District for supporting an Orphan house 1739. In 27 Aug 1738 he left the Colony with purpose to return" My note--the correct spelling of his name is Whitefield. His preaching and that of Jonathan Edwards is what sparked the Great Awakening in colonial times. He started Bethesda Orphange in Savannah, and it is still in existence: <A HREF="http://www.bethesdahomeforboys.org/hist-f.htm">Bethesda History</A> http://www.bethesdahomeforboys.org/hist-f.htm Not on the list is James Whitfield, who was a marshall in the royal government, but served on the Aamerican side in the Revolution.

No Edmonds or Pannels.

"Kennedy, Eliz.--w.[wife]--Age 24; servt. to ditto." "Kennedy, ????--Child of above; born in Georgia; run away." "Kennedy, ????--Child of Ditto; born in Georgia; run away;"

Glynn County has a great web page: <A HREF="http://www.petersnn.org/petersnn/glynnco.html">Welcome To Glynn County, Georgia</A> http://www.petersnn.org/petersnn/glynnco.html

"Robertson, Willm.--Age 21; cowheard; Highlander; embark'd 21 Sept 1741; arrived 2 Dec. 1741."

Graham, The Noblest Jones of all, Noble Jones, was on the first boatload on the Anne in 1733: "Noble Jones--carpenter aged 32, Sarah his wife aged 32, Noble his son aged 10 months, Mary his daughter aged 3 & his servant Thomas Ellis age 17 Mary Cormock aged 11" In another section of the list: "Jones, Cornelius--Apprentice to Saml. Grey; embark'd Nov. 1732; Arriv'd 1 Feb. 1733. Discharged by his master." "Jones, John--Serv. to Josephy Smith; embarke'd 29 Oct. 1734. He past from the service of Jos. Smith to that of JA. Calloway." "Jones, Mary--Aged 17; servt. for 4 years to wid. Vanderplank; embarked 19 Nov. 1737; arrived 14 Jan. 1738. Hired & carry'd at Capt. Thompson at his own risk, but the planters not being able to pay such servants, Mr. Causton took them and certifyed the same which made the Trustees lyable to pay." "Jones, Noble--Age 32; carpenter; embark'd 6 Nov. 1732; arrived 1 Feb. 1733; lot 41 in Savannah. Employ'd to survey the peoples lots, but removed for negligence. He took possession of this lot 21 dec 1733 and afterwards improved land at some distance from the town. He was I think constable also, and officer for executing the Rum Act. He now resides mostly at his new plantation abt. 10 miles from Savannah. On 21 Oct. 1738 Mr. Oglethorp removed him from being surveyor and first Constable, but afterwards gave him command of the the Narrows. In the Colony the end of the year 1746." My note: Noble Jones, jack of all trades, became the colony's doctor u[pon the death of the doctor who came over with the settlers. He later ba judge, member of the colony's council, and treasurer for the colony. Wormsloe, his plantation near Savannah is a historical site: <A HREF="http://www.cr.nps.gov/goldcres/sites/wormsloe.htm">Wormsloe</A> http://www.cr.nps.gov/goldcres/sites/wormsloe.htm His wife and children are also mentioned again with practically the same information as already given above. Let me add that his son, Noble Wimberly Jones was one of Georgia's leaders in the Revolution and was Speaker of the Rebel Georgia Assembly. He was included--along with my 4th great-grandfatehr Captain John Cutler Braddock--by the British on two lists of men they considered traitors to the Crown. The lists can be seen at: <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~gataylor/traitor.htm">British Traitor List</A> http://www.rootsweb.com/~gataylor/traitor.htm "Jones, Thomas--Embark'd May 1738; Formerly High Constable at St. Gyles; Appointed storekeeper in Mr. Causton's place & gave 1000 pounds security." "Jones, Bridget--Servt. to A. Johnson. Arrived 10 Jan 1734." "Jones, Inigo--Son of Noble Jones; born in Georgia 26 April 1735." "Jones, John--Servant tp Ja. Calloway; arrived 28 Dec. 1734. Dead" "Jones, lewis--joyn'd the Colony, when I know not. Dead." "Jones, Pipe--Servt." "Jones, Thomas--Indian trader; arrived 1 July 1734; lot 44 in Savannah. Half-Indian, and commander of a party of Rangers in 1739 at teh annual expense of 27 pounds which Col. Oglethorp says is necessary to be continued" "Jones, Tho. Wimberly--Son of Noble Jones; born in Georgia; lot 46 in Savannah." I'm all out of Joneses. Jerry B.

Good Evening Jerry, I hesitated to do this 'cause I knew you would be overwhelmed with requests. Then I thought, if he steps out there and says beat me....then I should oblige....so.....any Dampiers or Joneses on those boats?

Connie, I looked around for those names. The only Joseph or Joe Edmonds I can find in GA was born 1862 in Unk GA and married 22 April 1894 in Gilmer, GA to Sarah Frances Soverr aka Stover. There is a Mary Elizabeth Pannell born 1847 Ga to William Pannell and Emily Pannell. There are several Edmonds buried in Oaklawn Cemetery in Atlanta including M.E. (mary eliz?) died 02221904 aged 80 years and a Joe died 11-2-1884 aged 21 years. Wonder if that was your Joe's father or Gfather? Cathy Ward WARD, JONES, AND ALLIED FAMILIES
