Hi Everyone, Back from vacation!I will be going to the FHC here in Richmond this week.I have Clayton Kirkland for Clydie and nc/sc Graingers for Ray; anyone have any other lookups they need? Slightly off topic here:I found 2 oversized tea towels at an antique mall.One has the Scottish tartans for the Scottish clans.The other is the Scottish Arms of the Chiefs of Clans and Families.I thought these were pretty cool!I am planning to have them both framed to protect them. I seem to remember a discussion about the Kirklands belonging to the Douglas clan,was it?

All I know about Clayton Kirkland is he lived in Greenville, Fl. That is a little place in Madison County, Fl, and he married Nancy People. The Peoples, (Peeples,Poppell,Popwell etc) as well as the Kirkland came from the same part of Scotland and Ireland. They has two childern that I know of. I think the oldest was Marceline Kirkland that married my Grandfather William A. Waters ( in the kirkland book his name is spelled Wallace) and her brother Willet Francis Marion Kirkland. We call him Hinton but I don't have any idea why he changed his name to Hinton. He married my Grandfathers sister Pearcy L. Waters. I keep thinging if I knew who his parents were maybe I could trace him on back but he doesn't want to be found. My Kirkland have always been so hard to find. I appreciate all the help you can give. Seems all the info is back east and I live in Ca. and have to write to find anything. I sent for the marriage certificate in Feb. for my Grandparents and my G-Uncle and still have heard from the people in Madison Co., Fl. Thanks again always Clydie D. Russell

Octavia, I can't find your address but I'm sure if I send this to the list that you'll get it. You asked me about the Truitt books that are listed at http://www.gagenbooks.com/bookstruittpm.htm I told you that I had bought the "Emanuel County, Georgia 1880 Federal Census." The only problem I found with it was that the compilers included the year of birth and assumed that everyone was born between January and May. As you know, the 1880 census gave an age, not a year of birth. That age was supposed to be their age before June 1, 1880. Most researchers take the age on the census and subtract it from the year of the census, and then say the person was born in that year. I take the age on the census, subtract it from the census year, then subtract one more. In other words, if a person was 40 on the 1880 census, I say they were born circa 1839. I also bought their "Marriage Records of Emanuel County, Georgia 1817-1928." That book is a mess. I had previously seen a page from their book, but didn't know where it came from. Don Williams had asked about D. S. Meeks that married on Dec. 13, 1891. I wrote back that D. S. was Dennis Sherman, but he had married on Jan. 5, 1890. Well, Don "proved" that he was correct by sending me a copy of the page. I was sure I had copied it correctly but the next time I was in Swainsboro I obtained a photocopy of the marriage license, which I had copied correctly, and sent it to Don. As I was saying, I bought a copy of "Marriage Records of Emanuel County, Georgia 1817-1928." All of the marriages that they "copied" from the "1879 to 1888" book and "Book B 1887 to 1895," are totally screwed up. Somehow, they managed to get all of the marriage dates and the names of all the officials that performed the ceremonies wrong. They must have been using a computer program to enter the information and the data got scattered. Some of the dates are off by 9 or 10 years. As for the other marriage books they "copied," they managed to misspell some of the names, quite often they used the issue date instead of the marriage date, and in a couple of cases, they left out some marriages. In one place they changed Kersey to King. I wrote to the compilers but haven't received a reply. Yes, I would recommend the census books, but no way would I recommend that you purchase the marriage books. Your friend, Clyde

Do any of you, Kirkland researchers, have Hardy Stevens, Jr. and Nell Kirkland in your files? I have their marriage date as 8 Nov 1952. Sarah Corbitt who married Hardy Stevens, Sr. was my grandfather's sister -- that family is who I am actually researching. Thank you, Frances

I cannot verify the accuracy of all thei info listed below but this is what I have: Enoch Hall was b 1754 in Bladen Co., N.C. and died in Tattnall Co., GA. He married Nancy Ann Jackson and she died in Lowndes Co, GA. She was 104 when she died. She is buried in the Hall family graveyard on the old Hall Plantation near Morven (her grave is marked). They were located on the new Coffee Road 2 miles northeast of the present town of Morven. She was blind 14 years prior to her death. Their children were: (1)Jane Hall b 1778; (2)Susannah Hall b 1780 and married Henry Cook and they had a SON named Henry Cook Jr. who married Piety Hall b Jan 9, 1903, daughter of Lewis Hall b 1753 and Nancy Colly. (so Henry was her 1st cousin once removed and her husband? because Henry Cook Sr b 1752 married Susannah Hall, dau of Enoch and Nancy Ann Jackson.) Their children were Instance Cook , John Cook and Jehu Cook. Instance Cook born 1824 married Margaret "Marjorie" Wilcox in 1849 in Telfair Co., GA. John Cook married Henrietta Mann and Jehu was born 1844 and that's all I know about him. (3)Priscilla Hall b 1782 who married Noah Griffin b Edgecombe N.C. died Lowndes Co., Ga. (4) Sion Hall b1784 and died Nov 14 1849 in Brooks Co., GA and married Bridgett "Beady"Hall (his first cousin)daughter of Lewis Hall Jr and first wife Flora Beaty. They had 3 children, Enoch Hall, Sooky Ann, and Nancy Hall. Nancy b 1806 married John Pike and is buried in Hall Cemetery, Brooks Co. Ga. Sion and Bridgett seperated abt 1816 and divorced and he married Elizabeth Coker. I don't know if they had children. Then he married Pollie Morrison and had Nancy Ann Hall b 1840 who married Matt J. Bowen. (5)John Hall b 1785 and died 1854 in Marion Co., Fl who married Rhoda Griffin. He grew up in Tattnall, Montgomery and Telfair Counties, Ga. He moved to Lowndes abt same time as his widowed mother and others of family to Morven, later part of Brooks Co. Abt 1845 moved to Irwin later cut into Berrien. He moved back to Lowndes and then to Marion Co., Fl where his son William G. Hall already had moved. (6)Nancy Hall b abt 1790 married Thomas Griffin. Thomas Griffin's brother Noah Griffin b 1783 married Priscilla Hall b 1782 and daughter of Enoch and Nancy Ann Jackson. (7) Effie Hall b 1795 died 1796 (8)Abijah Hall b 1798 died 1855 and married Lorena Hall, daughter of Jacob Hall and Mary Hall. Abijah and Lorena were married Aug 17, 1828 in Irwin County, Ga. The other brother of Enoch was Thomas Hall and the only thing I know about him was that he died in the war of 1812. (Lewis born 1753 and son Enoch born 1780, son of Flora Beaty and Lewis Jr] were appointed administrators of estate of Thomas Hall deceased in Tattnall Co......War of 1812. This took me a long time to type because it is so CONFUSING! Too many cousins marrying cousins! If anyone has any corrections to this PLEASE e-mail me.

Has anyone done much research on the Hall family? I've also seen references to LouPine or Lupina Hall as "Effie Jane". Some even say she was Native American. Consider: I've got a copy of Dr. A V Tuten's 1982 compilation of "The History of the Lewis Hall Family Tree". Though he traces the Hall ancestry back to the 1730 will of Isaac Hall in VA (father of Lewis Hall, Sr.), he mostly only documents the Appling County lines, who were descendents of brothers, Lewis Hall, Jr., and Instance Hall. But there were two other brothers: Enoch, and Thomas. All four brothers were Revolutionary Soldiers and showed up in Montgomery Co. ca 1797. Enoch married Nancy Jackson (a cousin of President Andrew Jackson) and either moved to or his land was cut into Tattnall (where the Lankfords were). Enoch had one daughter named Effie and another named Jane. But Dr. Tuten didn't go into any of the lines of this family, and neither does the ancestral file at familysearch.org. (they probably both used the same source for info). But it sounds like too much of a coincidence not to look into it. Anybody know anything about the descendents of Enoch Hall, RS, and Nancy Jackson?

I signed up for ancestry.com to see if there was anything on there that I might be interested in. In looking at the military records (CSA, Co. c, 50th GA) For Parish Lankford it shows: Parrish Lankford Claimed Residence in Coffee County Enlist Date Enlist Place Enlist Rank Enlist Age 22 March 1862 Priv 19 Promoted to Full Corpl (1st Corpl) Promoted to Full 5th Sergt on 21 January 1864 Promoted to Full Jr 2nd Lieut on 23 March 1864 Served Georgia Enlisted C Co. 50th Inf Reg.
