Posted on: Coffee Co. Ga Queries Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Coffee/10583 Surname: Wright, Corbitt, Spivey, Kirkland ------------------------- Go to rootsweb and type in John Godwin Solomon.It will give you the info that I posted.Ryals and Royals could have meant the same name.They changed the spelling of surnames back then from generation to generation.

I am a descendant of John Godwin Solomon, He married Sarah Ann Royal jan 16 1873 They had Fannie in Oct of that year and Sarah Jane in 1877, both born in Georgia, After they went to Texas they had William (my grandfather) in 1879, then Lillie, John A., Elizabeth, and James. Sarah Ann had a baby on Oct 26, 1886 and both she and the baby died the same day. After he returned to Georgia he married Judith, (Sarah Ann's sister)December 9, 1888. They had Mollie in 1889 an infant in 1890 that died and then another that died , then Jesse, David"Shaver", Henry, and Pearlie. That is 8 from first wife , 7 from second wife Hope this helps someone Ludell Solomon

It is such sad news about Dr. Diskin Morgan of Coffee County, Ga. Contact: rcaves@alltel.net OFF LIST if you would like further details...... Thanks

Thanks, Clyde, for checking to see if we share the same "Elizabeth". I'm beginning to wonder if my Elizabeth Pearson had any relatives at all. Again, she was listed on the 1880 Coffee County Census, just with her three young daughters, Angel, Georgia, and Ila; no husband. She, herself, would've been about 38 at the time. (the story, of course is that Elizabeth is not the birth mother of at least one of the girls, namely, Ila. Georgia also shared the same story with her family-that she was Native American). I've been told that the "Pearson" family was a prominent family in that area. Seems there should be someone out there related. I'm also looking for any Coxwells who may be related to the man who married Ila Ione Pearson (John Coxwell) Also, Ila had two sons by another man prior to marrying John even though John raised the sons as his own. (the sons were Joseph and Elza). The family has been told that the name of the birth father may have been something like "Entree". Any takers? Bev mbtin83@aol.com

Was Jacob Anderson married three times? I have: Jacob Anderson b 1801 married Eliza Conner 16 Jan 1833 in Tatnall County. Jacob Anderson b 1801 married Barbara Odom 27 Dec 1835 Tatnall County. Jacob Anderson b 1801 married Lucinda Bowen 22 June 1874 Coffee Co. Are those the same person?

Her son, who lives with her, has an e-mail address, and I think it's <MMeeks@ddinet.com>. If you can't get through by e-mail, you can call her. She is anxious to talk about her family. If you need help, let me know. Clyde

Bev, Apparently the Elizabeth Pearson that you are looking for is not my second cousin, three times removed, Martha Elizabeth (Meeks) Pearson Moncreif, who went by Elizabeth. My Elizabeth was not a Pearson during the the 1880 census. As you can see by my paragraph below, she didn't become a Pearson until 1882. Then, she became a Moncreif in 1886. Emmett, Benajah Pearson and Elizabeth only had one daughter. You can see in the paragraph that her other two daughters were by her second husband. I will send you a copy of my page 174. Clyde Page 54: #bda. Martha Elizabeth Meeks was born Jan. 14, 1853, in Appling County, Georgia (see pg. 17). She went by the name Elizabeth. She was listed with her parents in Clinch County, Ga., during the 1860, 1870 and 1880 censuses. During the 1880 census, Elizabeth was counted twice. She was also listed as a housekeeper, with the family of Benajah Pearson, in Coffee County, Georgia. Her family is in "Cole-Meeks," II, 162-63; and "Lott," pg. 68. Elizabeth married first Benajah Pearson Jan. 29, 1882, in Coffee County. [He was born Oct. 7, 1811, in Wilkinson County, and was the widower of Mary Jane "Pink" (Lott) Pearson. See Lott in the Related Families Section, pg. 1338. An article on him is in "Wiregrass," V, 332-33 & VI, 340. The town of Pearson, Ga., was named after him.] Their child: Narcissa Tabitha (see pg. 173). Benajah died Feb. 20, 1885, in Coffee County. Elizabeth married second James Austin Moncreif Dec. 23, 1886, in Coffee County. [He was born May 18, 1859, and was the son of Austin and Georgia A. (Bedell) Moncreif. Information on his parents is in "Wiregrass," V, 292.] Their children: Amoret "Retta" (see pg. 174), Augusta "Gussie" (see pg. 174), Jessie (see pg. 174) and Willie H. "Bill" (see pg. 174). Elizabeth died Jan. 31, 1895, in Coffee County. James married second Ella Douglas. They were farming in Coffee County during the 1900 and 1910 censuses. James died May 18, 1918. Benajah, Elizabeth and James are buried in Antioch Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery, northwest of Pearson, Georgia.

Hi Folks, Seems my "Elizabeth Pearson" question has generated some dialogue. Hopefully between all of us we'll be able to help one another out. Here's my story: I'm actually researching my husband's gr-grandmother, Ila Ione Pearson/Coxwell. She was found on the 1880 Coffee County, GA census as Elizabeth Pearson's daughter. 1880 Coffee County, Georgia Census index lists the following: Pearson, Elizabeth (38) b. GA, dau Ila (8) b.GA, dau Angel (6) b. GA and dau Georgia (2) b. GA. Ila told her son, Elza, that she was actually born in Gallup, NM and was Navajo.  I would like to know how she came to be with Elizabeth Pearson.  And....where was Elizabeth's husband? I have some other information that seems to back up Ila's claim. Would love to connect with someone who knows more about this particular Elizabeth Pearson. Thank you so much, Bev Tiner mbtin83@aol.com or chozijoy@aol.com

Bev, Do you have any info on your Elizabeth? My Great Grandmother, Martha Pearson (born 1857) had a sister Elizabeth(born 1856). Their father James had a sister Elizabeth (born 1837). If any of this fits let me know and I will send you what I have.
