Hi Linda, All I have comes from Ancestry.com, Georgia Deaths, 1919-98, and it shows Ethel K. Slaving, died July 8, 1974, at age 98 in Cobb County, Certificate #019924. I'm researching for my niece who has very little knowledge about her Wilkins family and would like to find out more. I was hoping to find an obituary or cemetery for Ethel (Wilkins) Slaving... or maybe even a directory listing for 1973 (the year before she died). I found her married name through an obituary for her brother Cyril Wilkins, of Norwalk, CT, which referenced "three sisters, Mrs. Elsie Barnes of Jacksonville, Fla., Mrs. Ethel Slaving, Stratford and Mrs. Nora Garrison, Georgia". This obituary was dated 1956 and I believe all three sisters ended up in Georgia. Any ideas?? many thanks for your help.

Hi Linda, I noticed your mention of having a Cemetery book for Cobb County. I was looking for any info on Ethel K. (nee Wilkins) Slaving who died July 8, 1974, in Cobb County. I believe her husband was William Slaving. Is it possible she is mentioned in your book? many thanks, Elizabeth BC, Canada > If you need birth and death dates from the Cemeteries book, let me know and I will be happy to post those. > > Good luck! > Linda in Marietta

Lena, We have so few surviving records here, and yes, I too, am still mad at the uglies who burned them. Following is all I have, with the exception of the listings in the Cobb cemeteries and marriage (post-war) books. From The First Hundred Years - A Short History of Cobb County in Georgia - Sarah Blackwell Gober Temple - 1935 Chapter VI - Pioneer Families page 49: Hardy Pace, John Pace (John Pace lived in town and The Pace House in Marietta was his.) page 59: "Thomas M. Kirkpatrick lived in Latimer's District, Dekalb County, when he drew land in Cobb, in the 17th District, 2nd section. He married Parthenia, the daughter of Hardy Pace, of Putnam. The Paces were living for a time in Dekalb before becoming pioneer settlers in Cobb. Hardy Pace's plantation was in the vicinity of the present town of Vinings, and the ferry which he operated was one of the best known along the Chattahoochee. The road which led from it is still called Pace's Ferry Road, in Fulton County." Chapter XII - The Eighteen Fifties Page 149: "The growth of the county was responsible for the development of plans for establishing better means of communication and travel by means of new roads, ferries, and bridges. The Chattahoochee River was the scene of some of this development, and here also several mill dams were built, the river furnishing the power for mills which aided the growth of that section in the county. "Some of these mill dams were built before the beginning of this period, for Hezekiah Foote was authorized by the act of December 27, 1845, to build a dam in the vicinity of the W and A bridge, and in 1847 Daniel Adderhold received authorization from the legislature to construct a dam on the river on and from his own land. Two other dams were authorized in 1850: Johnson Garwood's, near Island Ford on his own land in Cobb and Dekalb, and that constructed by HARDY PACE and Pinckney Randall. These men used land owned by them on both sides of the river, the portion in Cobb being lot number 1025, 17th district, 2nd section". Notes - page 507: "Preparatory to the celebration of Cobb County's centennial in 1933, a meeting was held in August of the direct descendants of the pioneer settlers. This list of descendants, taken from the minutes of the meeting, does not by any means show all the direct descendants living in the county nor did the descendants in every case give all of their lines of pioneer ancestry:" . . . . Page 508: "Miss Nettie Kirkpatrick, Marietta, representing father, Thomas M. Kirkpatrick; grandfather, HARDY PACE." I am assuming you already have the 1850 census entry. Here is 1860: 1860 Cobb County, Georgia - Lemon's District - August 18, 1860 - page 463 1708 - Bushrod Pace, age 40; farmer; $2200/150; born GA S. A., age 24, female; seamstress; born GA E. V., age 5, female; born GA 1714 - Hardy Pace, age 72; farmer; $39,500/$2000; born NC Esther F__r?, age 60; seamstress; born SC From my transcriptions of Deaths Reported in Cobb County, Georgia, Newspapers Volume 1 - 1868-1879: Page 4 - Issue of December 11, 1868 - Estate of HARDY PACE, deceased - Administrator's Sale - Solomon K. Pace, Administrator Volume II - 1880-1883: Page 64 - Issue of January 11, 1883 - Judge Thomas M. Kirkpatrick, who died on Christmas day, was one of the earliest settlers of Marietta, and was known as a genial old gentleman, highly esteemed and well to do. He was a man of positive convictions and strong opinions, and was a useful and good citizen. Peace to his soul. Page 65 - Issue of January 18, 1883 - The Negro man, who was found dead at Smyrna several weeks ago in Mr. Norris Pace's gin house, covered with cotton seed all but his feet, was never identified and his name and cause of his death, still remain a mystery. Page 68 - Issue of February 15, 1883 - Murder Will Out - It is thought that the Negro man who was found dead at Smyrna about Christmas last in Mr. Pace's gin house, was murdered after he had been gambling with a Negro man. Martin Brewster, colored, was arrested on Tuesday by Bailiff Crawford who lodged him in the Marietta jail. Brewster is charged with being a party to the crime. A Negro woman is implicated, who, it is said, made the remark that the Negro man was choked to death with his head in her lap, and her conscience was rebelling at further secrecy. (Added the above, not knowing if Norris Pace is related, but because he lived in Smyrna, which is near Vinings.) Volume III - 1885 - 1887: Page 52 - Legal - Parthenia Kirkpatrick, Guardian for Barton Richardson, application for Leave to Sell the lands belonging to said ward. Wish I could be of more help, but hopefully you will find a clue in the above. Good luck!
