-----Original Message----- From: Lintereur's [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, March 14, 1999 7:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: {not a subscriber} Marietta National Cemetery I have been told that my gg-grandfather, James Nixon Roberts is buried at this cemetery in Section C, Grave #197. He was a Union Soldier from Marshall Co., WV and died 9-6-1864 near Rome, GA. Is it possible that someone could take a photo of the headstone and if there is any information I would appreciate that. I will be glad to reimburse for the expense of photo and mailing. Thank you. Alice Lintereur, IL

Hello Cobb Co: My ggg grandfather was killed in the Civil War while in F Co 8th Reg of the GA State Guards. He died in Polk Hospital in Rome GA. I believe he may be burried in Marietta National Cemetery. Would it be possible for a person to look in that cemetery for me to see if he is. I was told that many times the family claimed the body of the Confederate Soldier. He enlisted from Alpharetta. His name was: Giles F.Mayfield in his 50's.His wife's name was Christina. He died on Dec 31, 1863.I have asked and e-mailed everyone and every place I can think of. I know they didn't keep very good records during war time. If you know of someplace I haven't looked yet please suggest it. I have tried the Atlanta Archieves and corresponded with the head of archieves, they have nothing. Rome has nothing!Their geneology solciety has nothing!.You are my last hope. Thank you for reading my e-mail. Colleen Sudduth [email protected]

I am posting this to warn others about problems with ; Census Microfilm Expeditors 476 E. South Temple , Suite 4 Salt Lake City , UT 84111 website ; www.censusmicrofilm.com e-mail ; [email protected] and ; [email protected] I was lured to order several microfilm copies from this company with "guarantees" of "speedy delivery" and "low price" . My order was placed in October of 1998 and as of this posting I have not received the order or a refund after numerous contacts with Steven Jensen at this firm . In his occasional replies he repeatedly gave false information to me as to the status of the order and cashed the check when mentioned stopping payment on it .I have copies of all documents and correspondences for those interested . Complaints have been filed with the Better Business Bureau and the United States Postal Inspectors , they have informed me that even they can't order this company to give a refund , but may seek criminal charges . I guess small claims court is next . If you are seeking genealogy resources......consider my experiences with this "Firm". Thank you , Kenneth Sartin researching ; Sartin , Sartain , Sarton , Sarten , Sardin etc. etc.

May I, also, point out, for those that may not know, that this firm, although located in Salt Lake City near Temple Square, has absolutely, nothing whatsoever to do with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS). Sadly, there are a lot of fly-by-night, so-called, genealogy database companies in Utah trying to make big bucks off innocent people trying to find their family history through the LDS church. For your information, the LDS main Family History Library on Temple Square, Salt lake City, has all (except 1890, burned) census films (and most indexes) for every census. They do not charge anything. You can order any of these films and about 3 million other records for a modest handling/mailing fee of $3.40 a tape from your nearest Family History Center. These are not for you to keep, (or take out of the center), but to peruse at your leisure at a Family History Center. There are also volunteers, like myself, some better than others, ready to help you, if they can. To find your nearest Family History Center go to: WWW.lds.org, then click on "Family history", then on "How do I begin", then on "Where is my nearest family History center." If you live in a larger metropolitan area, you can look in the white business section of the phone book under Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Family History Center and call them for directions and hours they are open. Please be patient with the help. All are volunteers doing a four hour shift a week, sometimes more, and do not know the answers to "everything". They are there to help you, help yourself get started researching the records the LDS church has filmed. Members and non-members using these facilities run about 50/50%. All are welcome. It is a public library. Also, (for those who may be worried) we are strictly instructed not to prostlyze, although I have heard many stories about bad experiences with volunteers in different areas of the country. Please do not flame me, or tell me your horror stories and bad experiences in an LDS Family History Center! :-) There are always ignorant volunteers who don't know any better and they are rare. These Family History centers are a wonderful source of many records and give you a great place to find clues in your research. Any database can be flawed due to the human factor, so all sources should be viewed with a discerning eye. Now..back to business. Who's got HUNNICUTTs in Cobb County that might be the father of, or related in any way, to Calvin Welborne Hunnicutt (b. 1826), (and his supposed brother Eli Tillinger Hunnicutt,) both prominent members of the Atlanta community (CWH is my 2 g. grandfather) in the 1850's through early 1900's. Calvin, himself, said his father (un-named) moved the family from Mecklinburg Co, NC, to Cobb County near Howell's ferry in 1830's. I find a Joseph Hunnicutt age 50/60 with a 10/15 male, 50/60 female in the 1840 Cobb Co. census. Joseph is a family name. Calvin Welborne is thought to be farming his own spot of land near Powder Springs in the late 1830's. Already in Atlanta in 1840's. Can't find a thing in Cobb or surrounding counties. Can anyone help, please? Bonnie-Lee Corban, Family History Assistant, Boise, Idaho, Family History Center

Hello: Could the person who is doing Census lookups in Cobb Co, GA please look at 1860 census in or near Powder Springs and see if you can find a family, Robert Longshore Reagin, his wife Matilda and perhaps up to 6 children? I know the owned property in or around Powder Springs before, during and after Civil War. Also, does anyone have any knowledge of a cemetery near Powder Springs that in 1935 was called Baptsist Cemetery? I think the name may have changed and it is no longer called Baptist Cemetery. Thanks so much! Tracy

Oops! I goofed on my census lookup request concering Moses Hooker. Would the person doing the lookups please reconsider and try 1860 in Powder Springs and see what can be found?

If the information is readily available, I would appreciate a marriage record search on the following Cobb Co. residents: Nancy Harris, b abt 1827 (believe she may have married John Clarke Teakell) Jane/Janet Harris, b 1831 Jefferson Harris, b 1833 Lydia Harris, b 1835 James Harris, b 1836 Rebecca Harris , b 1838 Benton Harris, b 1840 Georgia Anne Harris, b 1842 Arminada Harris, b 1844 This family lived with another brother, Hilliard, b 1828, and mother Phebe, in Sumter Co., GA in 1850, and later moved to Cobb Co., AR. Descendants of Hilliard Harris were required to sign papers in the 1940's to clear up some sticky land deal in Atlanta. Guess that is one to know where they came from!! Would like to find descendants of this family, please email me privately at: [email protected]
