Thanks, eve -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to know what's in this new book? Read on ... Publication Announcement Athens Historical Society A Postcard History of Athens, Georgia by Gary L. Doster. Athens, GA: Athens Historical Society, 2002. xii, 164 pages; hard cover, dust wrapper. Bibliography, index. $25 (special pre-publication price for any order postmarked no later than November 30, 2002) While Athens is fortunate to be the subject of an array of excellent books - many with pictures - detailing various aspects of its history, the Athens Historical Society presents this book with the expectation that it will be a valuable addition to the corpus because of its unusual approach. Some scenes included here are not available in any other book, and much of the information accompanying the illustrations has been out of the public consciousness for many decades. During the first twenty years of the last century an amazing phenomenon occurred in this country that involved millions of people from coast to coast - postcard collecting! The hobby of collecting postcards began in Europe in the 1890s and by the turn of the century had become a worldwide fad. Athens residents took part in the craze and by doing so provided some valuable historical records of people, places, and events of the day. A great many of these postcards have not been reproduced since their appearance 75 to 100 years ago. They are historically valuable because they afford a view of some homes, businesses, schools, churches, street scenes, and social life of Athens and its people not available in any other form. Featured here are views of the UGA campus, other schools, churches, private homes and residential streets, downtown scenes and buildings used by business and industry - all showing how things used to be. The postcards in this book are from the collection of Gary Doster, a lifelong student of Athens history. The captions accompanying the pictures are informed by his detailed knowledge of local history and enriched by collaboration with Charlotte Thomas Marshall. The imaginative arrangement of pictures and text is a result of the professional skill and personal commitment of graphic designer Bill Reeves. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To take advantage of the pre-publication price of $25, orders must be postmarked no later than November 30, 2002. After that date the price will be $30 per book. Shipping is $3.00 for the first book; add $1.50 for each additional book shipped to the same address.

Can anyone tell me what happened to Ed (Edgar, perhaps Edward, Edmo(u)nd) and his wife, Louia/Lovica(E) Chancey after their December, 1880, marriage was recorded in Oconee County, Georgia? I have read the 1900 Soundex for Georgia without finding any clues to their whereabouts after 1880. Who were her parents? I have also checked the Clarke and Oconee County, Georgia, cemetery books in the Clayton library in HOuston. I would like a list of thier children. A great uncle told me some years ago that some Uncle Ed Toole's descendents were atill in the Athens area. One was supposedly killed in a store robbery and the shooter only got seven years. Maybe around 1911 or so. The Tooles were listed on the 1880 census of Oconee County, Georgia. They moved over to Georgia after 1870 from Barnwell District, South Carolina. I have never been able to determine why they came to this section of Georgia instead of going farther west to other places like Texas.I have a double Toole line from one of his brothers and a sister. Pierce Columbus Toole m. Amanda Crow 1875 BK A Page 1 Oconee County, Georgia Albert moved back to Aiken County, South Carolina, and married Frances Heath Harriet A/Ann (Hattie A.) m. 1875 Joseph Vinson Durham Agnes m. 1875 Frank Barnett(e) The sisters supossedly had a double wedding in the forks of the river (Oconee?)at a little place called Carey. Sisters marriages recorded in Greene County, Georgia I have lots of other oole information back to c. 1735 Chowan Precinct, North Carolina and am now trying to fill in a few of the blanks spaces. Any assistance appreciated. Vivian Toole Ctes, Rt. #2 Box 52-A, Alto, Texas 75925 1-936-858-3801

Dear List member, I thought someone else would have answered thess court queations by now that appeared on the Oglethorpe County, Georgia, List, eariler today. I do not know all of the answers to these questions, but I will take a stab at what I think I know. The Inferior Court and the Ordinary Court were the same thing. They are now the Judge of Probate Court. I don't remember the exact date the name was changed but in the late 1900's. You may see some references to the Inferior Court sitting for Ordinary purposes when dealing with estates. Or you may see some type of initials on documents with a "I" in them, that is the Inferior Court. Perhaps a a witness, etc. This is where all the marriages are in Georgia. Also all of the estate records, guardianship bonds. Loose estate papers if they were kept. But, not generally in Georgia like in South Carolina. All kinds of stuff along this line. Maybe even some rare naturalization papers because it was a court of records. The Superior Court or Clerk of the Superior Court is where all the deeds, land plats, and mortgages are filed. Both offices would have court dockets and judges to hear cases. I am guessing that the superior court would be for a murder trial. If there would have been appeals I don't know about that. To a higher state court. Location of records, I don't know about. Murder would generally be a state crime rather than federal. Lawsuits I am not sure. I would think it would have something to do with the nature of the case. This is just a guess here of what would seem reasonable. Oglethorpe County is small and rural and not as busy as other places. No oil and gas lease people there like here in Texas. Call up the clerk's offices there in Lexington and ask them. I have exhausted my knowledge.

One involves a murder and one involves a lawsuit. I have noticed that there seemed to be 3 different courts, Inferior Court, Ordinary Court, and Superior Court. Would the Superior Court be where I would look for a murder account? Or did they also have a Criminal Court? Where would I find information on the lawsuit?

Several of us have been e-mailing back and forth and posting to the various e-mail lists in this section of Georgia about the FREEMAN families in Greene County, Georgia, and their earlier locations back in Wilkes County and their migrations west as new counties were formed and county lines changed. I am still seeking to further identify my John G. (Glenn?) Freeman who married Martha Jane Durham in Greene County, Georgia, in 1852. In 1875 she remarried to her Reynolds cousin, John (Jack) Reynolds. I know most everything about the Durhams, but Freeman is a "stonewall" of over 35 years duration. The most likely connection is to the family of Littleberry Freeman and Elvira Porter who were also members of Bethesda Baptist Church east of Union Point. They are seen earlier in Taliaferro County. Have not been able to find a "spare" John Freeman in the Freemans around Schull Shoals area who were a spill over from/into Oglethorpe County. Littleberry (bury?)Freeman may have been from an entirely different group. Have not been able to tie him to the Schull Schull group. Neal Freeman of Oklahoma is seeking an Ann Freeman who may or may not be his ancestor. An Ann Freeman is seen on the early tax lists and the 1820 census in Rankin/Porter District in Greene County. Might this be her family in the following two will abstracts. This is from Freda Reid Turner's book of will abstracts, but I also have the originals on microfilm at my house. I also have the Deed index on microfilm at my house up to the 1880's. The deed index goes further than the microfilm of deeds at the Archives done by the Mormons. Later than the 1870's must be researched at the courthouse in Greensboro unless additional later records have been microfilmed since the 1960's. WILL BOOK E PAGE 73. State of Georgia, Greene County. 15 March 1808, will of Jacob Freeman, deceased. To wife Anna Freeman (could this be Ann Freeman that Neal Freeman is seeking???-VTC), land whereon I now live during her natural lifetime, then at her death to my son John Freeman. To son Samuel, livestock. To daughter Mary, a negro named Vinny. To son Thomas, $5 in money. Appoint wife Anna Freeman and sons John and Jacob Freeman executors. Wit.: Thomas Hall, William Batchford and Samuel Atkinson. Recorded 5 April 1809. Henry Carleton (He was the either the Inferior/Ordinary Clerk or deputy clerk, or the ordinary himself.-VTC) WILL BOOK G, PAGE 190. State of Georgia, Greene County. 24 February 1857, will of Jane Freeman, deceased. To son Samuel B. Freeman, negro woman Lucy about 45 years of age, livestock, ox and cart, household and kitchen furniture. Son Jehu F. Freeman has been previously advanced his share plus a negro boy named Elijah. At the death of Samuel his share to go to his heirs, Sarah, Susan, Elizabeth, Jacob and Nancy. Appoint Thomas M Fambrough executor. Wit.: W. H. Partee, James T. Findley and William C. Marton. Recorded 4 May 1858. Eugenius L. King. (Could Jehu actually be John???_VTC) This second will does not mention any land so I will not discuss that one. I am not sure how the two are connected. So many of the same names and so confusing!!! The way the first will is written, Anna's name would most likely never appear in the deed records for this piece of land. It was to go to son, John, at Anna's death. Depending upon how long John lived and what he did with the land, it might be years before this piece of land ever shows up in the deed records of Greene County, Georgia. There would only be a deed if the land were sold. If it was sold by an executor or administrator who last name was NOT Freeman, it might not even be listed under Freeman in the deed index unless a Freeman bought it. The land could go through a number of wills, etc., and never show up on the deed records if it was passed by will. On the tax lists it could be listed is a variety of ways. In the widow, Anna's name, as the estate (est.) of Jacob Freeman or even returned in son, John's name for his mother. In the early days of Georgia, it is my understa nding that land was returned for taxes in the county where the owner lived and not in the county where the land was located. Hence, if this John Freeman did not live in Greene County and he was returning the land for taxes, it might not even appear on the Greene County, Georgia, tax rolls. There is a marriage recorded in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, for Jacob Freeman to Ann Clark, on January 29, 1796, that might fit this first will. If this marriage and the first will are a match, then it would mean that Anna/Ann was a later wife and only the step-mother of the children Jacob Freeman named in his will. His children of the 1796 marriage would mostly likely in some way be indicated as minors with some phrase or similar wording "until they react 21 or under 21, etc." Then guardians and/or trustees would be name in the will or appointed or chosen later. There is sometimes more data/information generated after the will than in the will itself. So much for the free genealogy lesson!!!

Thanks, eve -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to know what's in this new book? Read on ... Publication Announcement Athens Historical Society A Postcard History of Athens, Georgia by Gary L. Doster. Athens, GA: Athens Historical Society, 2002. xii, 164 pages; hard cover, dust wrapper. Bibliography, index. $25 (special pre-publication price for any order postmarked no later than November 30, 2002) While Athens is fortunate to be the subject of an array of excellent books - many with pictures - detailing various aspects of its history, the Athens Historical Society presents this book with the expectation that it will be a valuable addition to the corpus because of its unusual approach. Some scenes included here are not available in any other book, and much of the information accompanying the illustrations has been out of the public consciousness for many decades. During the first twenty years of the last century an amazing phenomenon occurred in this country that involved millions of people from coast to coast - postcard collecting! The hobby of collecting postcards began in Europe in the 1890s and by the turn of the century had become a worldwide fad. Athens residents took part in the craze and by doing so provided some valuable historical records of people, places, and events of the day. A great many of these postcards have not been reproduced since their appearance 75 to 100 years ago. They are historically valuable because they afford a view of some homes, businesses, schools, churches, street scenes, and social life of Athens and its people not available in any other form. Featured here are views of the UGA campus, other schools, churches, private homes and residential streets, downtown scenes and buildings used by business and industry - all showing how things used to be. The postcards in this book are from the collection of Gary Doster, a lifelong student of Athens history. The captions accompanying the pictures are informed by his detailed knowledge of local history and enriched by collaboration with Charlotte Thomas Marshall. The imaginative arrangement of pictures and text is a result of the professional skill and personal commitment of graphic designer Bill Reeves. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To take advantage of the pre-publication price of $25, orders must be postmarked no later than November 30, 2002.
