    1. Re: [GACHEROK-L] Shiloh Methodist Cemetery -WILLIAMS, LEDBETTER & DOOLY
    2. Flora, if I'm not mistaken, we have corresponded on the Dooley line. Elizabeth Dooley Banister, daughter of James Dooley and Ruth Giley Anderson is my 3rd great-grandmother. First -- I am positive the cemetery you are seeking is Shiloh Methodist. This area of Cherokee County has confused many a researcher, I assure you. I was raised there and I have to think twice sometimes. To completely research families there you have to cover four census districts -- Conns Creek in Cherokee County, Yellow Creek in Dawson, Dug Road in Pickens and Hightower in Forsyth. The church cemeteries are even more confusing -- in a five mile radius there are at least half a dozen possibilities -- Shiloh, Ophir, Mount Vernon, Lebanon, Yellow Creek, Mica, Conns Creek -- and I'm probably forgetting some. I have a (barely) working knowledge of many of the families in the area since they were either my family or collateral lines in some way. Amanda Myra Williams, daughter of Augustus married my 3rd great uncle, Sion Jacob Lawson. I have tried for years to determine the origin of that Williams family. I have a Williams line in the Pendleton District of South Carolina who moved to Cherokee County but I haven't found any connection between these two Williams families. I'm not at my personal computer to look up the census, but I think Augustus was living in the Conns Creek district in 1850. Can I give your email address to a Ledbetter researcher? If I'm remembering correctly, he's a descendant of Sarah Whiteside Ledbetter's brother.
