What is the name you are looking for. I live in New Jersey but my great great and great grandfather are buried in Magnolia Division, Cathedral Cemetery and I visited there this past summer. My ancestors did not have stones as many others did not but some did and I might be able to help you, what are the names that you are researching. Marie

The dairy you mention was on the west side of White Bluff Road across from White Bluff Elementary School, where I went to the 7th grade. It's now shopping malls and restaurants that extend on that long strip called Abercorn Extension. It was a big dairy farm, but I believe it didn't process milk, just raised the cows and collected the milk. Bet they were a supplier for Starland or the other one.

I like that, a by-name request. Thanks, Bob. :-) In 1885 there were five dairies listed: Mrs. K. Brown, John C. Cahill, J.D. Fountain, Mrs. L. Russell, & Eliza Williams. The Mississippi Ave dairy was Roberds Dairy, I think. I remember their glass gallon bottles with an orange handle. The deposit was $.25, five times what you'd get for a Coke bottle. Does knowing that milk bottles had deposits make me old, or what? Frank J.

Thanks for all the answers to my query. I was looking at the 1930 census records at the library this morning and at the time the relatives who worked at the dairy lived on Waters Ave. and on White Bluff Rd., so maybe it was the dairy on White Bluff Rd. that they worked at. My mother had always told me that the dairy was off of DeRenne, but she might have had the story wrong since they worked there before she was born. I'm not sure where Avondale or Mississippi Avenue are. I haven't lived in Savannah since I was 8 years old--41 years ago!--but I do get to visit occasionally.

There were a lot of dairies in Jacksonville at that time. J. G.

If Frank Johnston from Jacksonville is looking at these posts, do you have any dairies in that time frame in your City directories?

There was a horse stable on DeRenne Ave. long before that area was developed.

According to my wife, a native of Savannah, there were two dairies in Savannah -- one called Annette's Dairy and one called Starland Dairy.

There was a Harms Dairy way back when, located where Food Lion is now located on White Bluff road. There was also a dairy located east of Avondale on the end of Mississippi Avenue about the same time as Harms Dairy was in business. I can't remember the name of the business, but it was a dairy.

I grew up in the 50s & early 60s and the only dairy I remember was Starland Dairies. I also went to high school at Jenkins (which is on DeRenne) in the early 60s and there wasn't a dairy there then. Anyone else recall anything?

Does anyone know of a dairy farm that used to be located in the area of DeRenne Ave. around the 1920s-30s? Several members of my family worked at a dairy and I've always heard that it was near what is now DeRenne, but I don't know what the name of the dairy was.

I have just had no success in finding the direct link between my g-g-g-grandfather Lyddall Bacon (ca 1790-1854) who supposedly migrated from VA thru SC and settled in GA. He has appeared in several counties in GA from the 1830s thru 1854, including Richmond, Bibb, Jones, Elbert, Stewart, Macon, Muscogee and finally Marion where he died in 1854. I believe some branches also migrated to Colquitt, Mitchell and Sumter Counites in GA. Family legend has it that he has brother Robert who migrated to New England, and Thomas who also migrated south, possibly to GA also. The legend has it that the brothers were disinherited because of a conflict over his choice of a spouse after their mother died. Another family legend has it that the mother of these brothers was named Esther Lyddall. I can believe the Esther, but have many doubts about her surname being Lyddall. She supposedly was a grandaughter of George Lyddall. The time frame does not seem to coincide with this legend. I know that my Lyddall, was at times and "overseer" on plantations, and that the Governor of GA appointed him Justice of the Peace in 1840s in Stewart County, GA. The story goes that he traveled on horseback dispensing his Justice duties as kind of a "circuit rider" official. My Lyddall also supposed married a lady surnamed Cook(e), who came from a very religious family (possibly Primative Baptist), from SC. Perhaps they came through Liberty/Midway as did other BACONs. This spousal information has never been proven either. Her possible given name has been offered as either Elizabeth or Sarah, or maybe even Sarah Elizabeth. They had children named Langston-b. 1811-1818 (married Caroline Griffin), Elizabeth-b. 1820-(married William Stevens Cooper, my g-g-grandfather ca. 1840-42), Edmond (married Nellie Catherine Cranford), Martha (married James H. Tait/Tate), and Sarah aka "Sallie" (married Major Wm. DuPree as his 2nd wife late in life and after Lyddall died). The naming patterns are consistent with other Lyddall BACON family branches. Any and all help is appreciated! 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.

I'm looking for the death of Amelia S. KING MELL, sometime betw Jan 1871 [birth of her dau] and census-time 1880 [June?], probably in Savannah/Chatham. if anyone has [local] access to the records, could I request a lookup, OR could some kind lister advise me where to dig? I'm working on finding her parents and also if her dau went to an orphanage for a time... I've heard many MELLs are buried @ Laurel Grove; have not yet checked to see if Amelia is among them... thanks. kirby in NC kirbz@northstate.net

Has anyone on the list done any work with transcribing the cemeteries of Chatham County? This would be a really neat thing to have on the Chatham County Site, particularly given the rich history of Savannah. Is anyone interested in transcribing any of the cemeteries to help your fellow researcher find that missing link?

Very interesting reading, especially the station-by-station rosters for the Fire Dept. and the value of the firefighting equipment. Do you think you could get TWO American LaFrance pumpers for $7,000.00 today? Frank J.

found these and thought I would share them. Census and formation maps Northern Maps http://www.negenealogy.com/ngo03.htm Southern Maps http://www.segenealogy.com/sgo03.htm

George, Good luck and please let me know what you find. We might be cousins. Susan

Susan, Wow! I think the Edward Segure might be a real good possability. That name is still popular in our family. I will go back to the 1860 census and start there. Thanks again Susan, George

Happy new year! I am looking for information on the Edwards and Strickland lines. If any one is researching these lines I would love to share information. I am currently seeking 1910 census data for a Veta(Vena) Strickland who would be a 7 year old girl. I have no information at this time as to any other members of her family. I am also seeking 1910 census information on an Oliver M. Edwards. He would be about 28 years old at this time frame. Anyone with information on these individuals ~ I would love to share info.
