Hi All, Just testing my email...new computer and making sure everything is working as should :-) No need to reply. Regards, Nancy E Parr

I would like to hear from anyone having knowledge of ANYONE of the BACON family migrating from VA, through SC to settle in central and southwest central GA. I have tracked Lyddall (various spellings Lydle, Lyddle, Lyddal, etc) BACON, from the 1820 Jones Co. Census, the 1840 Stewart Co. Census, and finally the 1850 Marion County Census. Word is that he also spent time in Elbert and Bibb Counties, and possibly even some time around Marietta, GA. I have not found him in the 1830 GA Census, and don't know where he was then, possibly went back into SC or VA for a time. In 1810, he must have been in his fathers household in either VA or SC. His firstborn son was named Langston, which may give an indication of Lyddall's father's name, if he maintained the tradition of naming the firstborn son for his father. Lyddall's spouse's name unknown, but could have been a COOK(E) from SC. Children were: Keziah (female) b. 1808-1810, married Benjamin Garrett Langston b. 1811-1818, married a Mary Caroline Griffin Sarah "Sallie" b. around 1815, married Maj. Wm. Dupree (1870s) Elizabeth b. 1820, married William S. Cooper Edmond b. around 1823, married Nellie Catherine Cranford Martha b. around 1826, married James H. Tait/Tate Regards, Gary garluke@juno.com Gary W. & Christie J. Cooper 653 Lover's Lane Road Dawson, Georgia 39842 garluke@juno.com Gary W. & Christie J.

If you can't get to it, I have put it into Photoshop and retouched it slightly. I also have it unretouched.

<PRE>thanks

You need the exact date of death. For obituaries the Savannah Morning News website refers to the library: Chatham County Public Library 2002 Bull Street Savannah GA 31401 (912)652-3600 The cost is about $3.00 per obituary. I hope this helps. :-) Frank J. -----Original Message----- From: Kjt54@aol.com [mailto:Kjt54@aol.com] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 4:32 PM To: GACHATHA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [GACHATHAM] OBIT HELP Can someone get me a copy of an obit that was in Sept. of 1990? thanks, kathy thompson Kjt54@aol.com ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237

Hi Kathy, Not sure about Savannah, but the newspaper where I live, Miami Florida, has a section where you can get them online. I've also accessed papers all over the country getting obits. Usually in their archives section, cost is minimal about 2 dollars. Perhaps someone on the list knows the name of the Savannah newpaper. good luck judi

Did one more search and found item. Thanks.

I did several searches on ebay and could not find item 3202562200.

Can someone get me a copy of an obit that was in Sept. of 1990? thanks, kathy thompson Kjt54@aol.com

Does this family belong to any of us on the list? ~FORMER CONFEDERATE SOLDIER ? FAMILY TINTYPE~ Item # 3202562200 Collectibles:Militaria:Civil War (1861-65):Original Period Items ~FROM SAVANNAH, GEORGIA ESTATE~ Up for auction is a great tintype family image. This great piece was purchased recently at an estate sale in Savannah, Georgia. Although the family is not identified, the image was represented as a confederate family taken soon after the civil war when there were many left starving and destitute. In any event, a great image! The tintype measures 5 ½” x 4 ¼” and is tinted with blue and gold. The image is in fairly good condition Susan Marshall

1880 Census for Appling Co. There are many Taylor families listed on the 1880 census for Appling County...I believe most of them start on about pp. 20 or 21 of the ones that are posted to the website, however check other pages, as there is a lot of information to be gotten from them. It looks as if someone scanned the actual census pages and posted them...it represents a lot of work, time and patience by the person or persons who were kind enough to add them to the site. A very special Thank You to all of those who worked on this project.
