Hi Folks, Since October is Family History Month and in honor of this I would like to offer you the following challenge... Tell us about one of your county families and who it is you're looking for. If you have several, do each family in a separate e-mail, but let's see all the families that list members are actively seeking. Some of you may have posted this data in the past month. To you I say this... list members come and go. Perhaps a new list member is looking for that same family. Please be sure to include in the subject line "October Challenge - Surname". This will make it easier to hit the delete key for those that are not interested. I hope everyone is having a great week! Thanks jimmy

My line Jonathan Kinney drew Habershan County land from Clarke County in 1820. His line is said to have come from NC to Georgia and settled the area of Crooked Creek in Clarke & Jackson Counties. "Gone to Georgia" says all Kinneys in the area in 1820 are related to the 1st Kinney to come there with William Clark to settle the then Talassee Colony the summer of 1786. "Elkin" may or may not be the 1st name of this Kinney. The Kinney's were mainly in Clarke County up till 1840 one does show up in Gwinett as early as 1830. I have collected a lot of data for different Kinneys in Clarke & Jackson Counties up to 1850. I have not been able to connect many of these into family groups w/ known relationships between them. By 1850 there are not any Kinney's living of these lines born anyplace other than Georgia making it very hard to find where there ancestors were before then. By 1880 none are living that had parents born any place other than Georgia. 1795 Clarke Co Samuel Kenney in Kenney's district 1801 Clarke Co Marriage Chaney Kinney m.
