Nathan Miers had a land grant(1799) on the "fork of Oconee" and was thought to have lived in this colony. By 1810 he was in Morgan Co so would not have many records there. I am very curious about the colony. Would appreciate any help. Thanks, Patricia Craig Johnson
Greetings: I am compiling information for a book entitled: "Bibliography of Civil War Manuscripts in the state of Georgia." This book will list and briefly describe all Civil War manuscript collections held by organizations in this state. Due to the large number of such organizations, I cannot visit them all. I need a couple of volunteers to help me with Clarke County. The task involves visiting local libraries, historical societies and museums to check and see if they have any unpublished Civil War era letters or diaries. After that a brief description of the item is all I need. In most cases this entire process can be completed in an hour or two. All volunteers will be credited for their work in the foreword of the book. This work will be of great importance to historians and genealogist all across the nation. If you would like to help me, please contact me. David Slay [email protected]

Posted on: Clarke County Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Clarke?read=417 Surname: WILSON ------------------------- I believe that Allen H. WILSON's father was Charles WILSON.Charles is listed on 1850 Monroe Co. census with Jane,Allen,Napolean,Griffin and Jacob. Charles full name may be Charles James WILSON b abt 1806. Charles is listed on the 1830 Clark Co Census with 1 male between 20-30, 1 male under 5,(this would be Allen) and one female between 15-20 that is probobly Allen's mother. If this is the same Jane Jane would have been 11 ys old when she married Charles and 15 when she had Allen. I wonder if Jane is Charles second marriage. I would really like to know where this family is buried if anyone has any info I would really appreciate it.

Dear Group, Can any one write me to tell me if there is a book out that describes all the tombstones and graves of the Oconee Hill Cemetery in Athens, Ga. Do you have titles or reference No.'S. What ever you have will be of the greatest help. I'm also interested in purchasing if possible. Marc Email: [email protected]
Au contraire, the OLD ATHENS CEMETERY (aka Jackson Street Cemetery next to the UGA Arts Dept) IS in this volume. Oconee Hill Cemetery, which was the next city cemetery, was begun in 1856 & is NOT in this book. Neither are the modern burial parks. The Oconee Hill Cemetery book is well along toward being published, probably soon after the first of the year 2001 - in time for the Athens Bicentennial. Mrs. Charlotte Marshall is the editor of that volume (she also did the 1971 edition). Thanks for the plug - BTW the Clarke County Cemeteries book is still in print & available from the Athens Historical Society at P.O. Box 7745, Athens, GA 30604-7745, for $30.00 plus $2.50 shipping.

Posted on: Clarke County Biographies Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/ClarkeBios?read=8 Surname: WILLOUGHBY, MEADOWS, CHAPMAN, TUCKER, MERCER ------------------------- James WILLOUGHBY and Sarah CHAPMAN and their decendents James Willoughby was born in February of 1825 in Clark County Georgia. It is somewhat ironic that a treaty between the Federal Government and Creek Indians was signed at Indian Springs, Georgia during this same month and year. This treaty led to the creation of Coweta County Georgia in 1826. The county was named for the Cowetas, one of the tribes of the Creek Nation. Early settlements in the county were Bullsboro, Senoia, and Calico Corner, later named Grantville. Coweta County, Georgia became the home of several peripheral families that are related to the Willoughby family. Among those are the Meadows, Chapmans, and Mercers. The Meadows Family was one of the first families to settle in Grantville. Today, Interstate 75 goes directly through land owned by MEADOWS family members. A MEADOWS cemetery, called the MEADOWS/BURKES/BANKS CEMETERY is located very near the same highway. Buried here are the decendants of Daniel Meadows, 1 March 1787-28 December, 1875, and Anna Thompson MEADOWS< 6 october, 1782-4July, 1873. Newnan, Georgia, the current County Seat, was established in 1828. During the Civil War, Newnan served as a hospital location for both the North and the South. For that reason, Newnan was not torched and burned during the war. Hulda MERCER was a 6th generation descendant of Christopher MERCER, who was born in England in 1612. She married William CHAPMAN Circa 1817 in Jasper County, Georgia. They later moved to Newnan. Hulda died in Newnan in 1851. They had the following children: i. Sara Ann CHAPMAN ii. John Mercer CHAPMAN iii. William Thomas CHAPMAN iv. Elizabeth CHAPMAN Hulda was related to Silas MERCER and Jesse MERCER, both early leaders and preachers of the Baptist Church. Jesse was the founder of Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, which bears his name. James WILLOUGHBY married his first wife, Sarah CHAPMAN in Newnan, Georgia in April, 1850. Based on a conversation I had with my GGreat Step Aunt, Winnie THOMAS,(James granddaughter) in the late 1970s, they had 5 known children: Seaborn, Frank, Mac, William Thomas and Lou Ella.The 1860 Coweta County Census lists the following: James 34 Sarah 33 William 9 John 7 James F 4 Lowella 11 months The family moved to Chambers County Alabama after 1860. Prior to this, Sarahs father and the Chapman family had migrated to Texas. Shortly after the War of the Yankee Agression, James, Sarah and the family decided to move to Texas to join the Chapmans. As they were about to board the train in Opelika, Alabama to make the trip to Texas, William , age 15 or 16, ran away. The rest of the family went to Texas without him. Sarah and the children are thought to have died in Bellville, Austin County, Texas. After the death of his first wife and the children who accompanied him to Texas, James returned to Chambers County and married his second wife Elizabeth A. Tucker. James died October 17 ,1896. He is buried in the Macedonia Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery in Chambers County, Alabama. His grave stone has Willoughby incorrectly spelled Wiloby. Buried beside him is Elizabeth, her stone marked Wife of James Willoughby. Elizabeth was born in 1828 and died May 16, 1910. Elizabeths parents, John and Mary Tucker are buried beside her. Their grave stones read John Tucker, born December 12, 1790, died May 9, 1882, Mary Tucker, born 1792, died September 16, 1875. John Tucker was born in North Carolina and Mary was born in Virginia. John Tucker was a Revolutionary War Soldier.
