There will be an Adams Family Reunion, Saturday, July 10th at the Fire Mountain Restaurant in Gainesville (formerly Ryan's.) Take I-985 north to exit 20. Turn left. Go to Jesse Jewell Parkway and turn left. Fire Mountain is located 3 miles on the left. All descendants of James Adams, Revolutionary War hero and builder of the original Sweet Apple Cabin are invited to attend. (I am especially interested in hearing from descendants of Barney Adams -- through his sons, Allison, Pascal "Pack" Adams, and Ollie.) For more information, please email me at rbannister@comcast.net. Thanks! Rebecca Bannister (James Adams' 5th great-granddaughter)

Thanks to all of you that came up with some new Counties for me to search. What has happened is we found a Chattel Mortgage for H.J. Kisselburg and Mr. Kenyon in Cherokee Co. NC. Kisselburg borrowed $100.00 and gave as articles of personnel property 2 Bay mares bought in Savanna, SC. Also several other livestock. This was in March 1900. Also at that time it is said that he went to his sisters wedding in Savanna but no state, in 1900. This now gives me another area to search. I had always thought that it was GA and just not spelled right. Now I think he bought the mares in Sc. and possibly that is where the wedding was. Always a hunt to find things like this. Thanks again Jan Kisselburg Jan; My placefinder lists Savanna Creek in Berkley Co Sc and Savanna Town as a historical place in Aiken Co., SC. Hope those help. Earnie Breeding

I think it's spelled Savannah. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Nimrodkiss@aol.com> To: <GACHEROK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 2:25 AM Subject: [GACHEROK-L] Savanna > Howdy > I am wondering if anyone has heard of a Savanna, SC?

Could I please get someone to look and see if there are any persons with the last name Godfrey or Godfry or Godfree listed in the Cherokee County Cemetery Book?

William reported in the 1910 census that he and his parents were born in Georgia and that he was 50 years old and had been married 28 years. They had two children: Sam (20) and Pearl (19), who was married to Floyd Adams for less than a year. In 1880 a number of Magness siblings, including a William H (age 12), were in the Jackson Miles household in Fair Play, Habersham County, Georgia as nieces and nephews. Jackson (49) was single and his mother, Mary Miles (82) was in the household. In 1870 this William H. Magness, age 1, was also in Fair Play in the Mary Miles household. His apparent mother, Verlinda Magness, was 25 years old. The other children were: Sophia (7) and George W. (4). Also in the household was Enos J(ackson?) Miles, age 40. In 1860, probably prior to the marriage of Verlinda to an unknown Magness, there was an Abner Magness, age 60, born in SC and his wife Delila (age 50) with the following children in the household: Francis M (25), Nancy (17), Elizabeth (15), William A (12), and Banjamin (10). Mary Miles lived two doors away and her son A.W., lived next door to Abner. In my mind, this makes Francis M. Magness the possible father of this William H. Magness and it also suggests that Verlinda was a Miles. W. McCollum > I hope I did this right.

I hope I did this right. I am looking for the families of William Henry Magnus (who married Laura Roach) and Ben Adams (who was married to a gal named Susie Wilder). William's mother was an Elizabeth Costill, Castill, Costell) and his father may have been a Tom or Tim Magnus. I couldn't identitfy the first letter of his name. I have information of William and Laura living in Blount County Tn in 1900 and then after that in Cherokee county. I would like to find info on William's family prior to 1900. I have little info on Ben Adamsprior to 1900, also. He lived in Hickory Flats (Cherokee County) with his wife Susie Wilder Adams. Thank you for all the help! Danelle Adams Skala

The section of the county east of the Etowah is hilly, except some portions contiguous to Forsyth. Lands of the first quality are on Etowah River and Long Swamp.

Those of you who are 'mining data' here on the Internet, and using the sources that have been provided to you, if you wish to pay back those who provided the data, go to your local courthouse and abstract data to place online. That is the way it gets put here. Or go to a local FHC and 'rent' a roll of microfilm for one of the counties you are working on. Abstract the data from that roll. Send it to a County Coordinator of the county you are researching. Or.... if you are digging in Cherokee County, send it here. Place it on the mailing list. It can be 'pulled' out and placed in a file for use on line. Any records are great to have. Newspapers, Old Obits, Deeds, Marriages, Court Minutes, Wills, Estate Records. The list is endless. Many contributed when I was the County Coordinator of the Cherokee County page. I appreciated each and everyone of those contributions. It takes time and effort. But the pay is wonderful. Some researcher writes and tells you they appreciate the fact you abstracted that record. They had been looking for the great grandparents for years. It is a good feeling. To each of you who have been digging and contributing, THANK YOU. To those who will in the future..... Thank You for considering the donation of time.
