My family comes from the Broxton Area. The name Vera Andrews struck out at me as that was a name of a great aunt. However some of the other names that came with it did not ring any bells. Perhaps you could assist me in putting some this Andrews line together if it is the same. The Sears side which was my paternal grandmother side is pretty much sewn up. But the mystery comes from the Andrews side. Now in the Broxton area and near the Sweetwater church on a piece of land known as the old Tyler or Taylor place my grandfather farmed. William Henry Anders then Andrews b. mar 5, 1872 m. May 6, 1895 Lucy Ella Mathis b. Jul 1874. They are bur. at Reedy Branch Cemetery. They had these children: Cleon & Leon (twins b. Jan-2-1899) Cleon d. young William H. Jr. b. 1903 James Taylor (JT) b. Oct 2, 1905 Jack b. abt. 1907 Joe b. Nov 8, 1910 Quincy b. 1910 became blind Marvin b. 1914 Vera Mae b. 1915 Ethel b. Jan 1, 1921 Louella still living John 1927 William H. went by Anders on the marriage license. In the 1920 Coffee Co. Fed Census he was listed as Andrews. D. Sjoberg

I would be very interested in the "story" told by the Grandson. I have also been trying in vain to find "any" information on Lula. I get the feeling she was alot younger than Kiler. Why else would he leave a marriage of many years? Kiler is buried in the Kirkland Cemetery. Does anyone know where Lula is buried? She died in the 1918 influenza epidemic, in Coffee County.

Melody, Another question,what happened to Parish Lankford's will?Is it not ready yet? Just thought I would ask because I've been waiting to see it.

From: "D.

I have some on Allen and that Harriett married Hiram Sears. That's it. Anything is much appreciated. Joyce

Yes, it seems it is spelled differently depending upon who you are talking to. Cuyler Kirland that married Alice (his cousin) was married a 2nd time - to Lula Tuten? and had four sons - June, Richard, James C. and Timothy J. Gail Kirkland

I suppose when we go to place a new headstone on his grave, we'll all have to vote on the spelling of the name??<G> Anyway..Gail, Lula Tuten was his 2nd wife and I know she wasn't found in the cabbage patch. Back then, a lot of times, the men married women that were fairly near to their homes. I have one story of the marriage of Lula and Kiler (as told to me by his grandson) and if he first met Lula when she was sixteen then, I think this theory would hold up. Her parents would have most likely known him and lived somewhere near him and Alice. I just can't find out the names of her parents and I've been searching a good long while. Maybe I'm missing something. anyone have any other ideas? Melody > Yes, it seems it is spelled differently depending upon who you are talking to.

Today I added the will of Green Tanner to the Coffee county GaGenWeb site. You can see it at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/5941/greentannerwill.html Not knowing much about that family, the will seems a little confusing to me, but please...read it for yourself. Melody

As a descendant of Kiler and Alice Kirkland, I've seen his name spelled three ways. Cuyler..... Kiler.... Kyler. He did sign his will and I have a copy of that. He signed it K. Kirkland.!<G> His name in the will is spelled Kiler and the name on his slab has long since eroded. Melody This is a different man from Kiler (Cuyler) Kirkland who married his > cousin Alice Kirkland. However, these same folks tell me his name was > spelled Cuyler as the man above's name was spelled. > I think it all depends on who you are conversing with as to how the > name is spelled :-)

Diana and others, I've spoken with several 'direct' descendants of James Cuyler Kirkland and his middle name is spelled Cuyler (not Kiler), according to these folks. The best I can remember, there is a family Bible in one of the families and it is spelled Cuyler in this Bible. This James Cuyler Kirkland was brother to my gr grandmother Pearlie Kirkland and they were children of Joshua. This is a different man from Kiler (Cuyler) Kirkland who married his cousin Alice Kirkland. However, these same folks tell me his name was spelled Cuyler as the man above's name was spelled. I think it all depends on who you are conversing with as to how the name is spelled :-) -----Original Message----- From: D.

Hey guys, I'm getting my forums mixed up, but has there been much discussion on the Youngbloods on this list? I've heard all my life that the Youngbloods have Cherokee lines, but most of the information I've found online says that is just a myth and most of the Youngbloods were of German descent. I, and I assume most of the Coffee Co. Youngbloods descend from Asa Youngblood, who I'm told appeared in the Irwin Co. 1820 Census (I haven't seen that one). His wife may have been Eliza. But his children were Elijah, b. 1824, Irwin Co, Mary, b. ca 1830, and Isaiah. Elijah married Margaret "Peggy" Davis, Mary married Raiford Metts, and I don't have anything on Isaiah. Anybody ever heard where Asa came from? I've also heard he may have left the area and gone to Alabama. Other tales are that he left his family and remarried and had a large number of children with 3 or 4 wives. But I have no idea where I got that from. The information I have on Raiford Metts is that he was born in Emanuel Co., 1820. There are a lot of Youngbloods who descend from the Emanuel Co. Youngbloods. They came to that area from the same area a lot of the Kirklands did in SC (Edgefield Co. or Old 96th District). That makes me think Asa might have come through that group as well, but I can't find anything about him. Would Asa have been his name or his nickname? If nickname, does anybody know what Asa is commonly a nickname for? Jeff

Melody wrote: >The Richard, she mentions above is >Richard Rowland Kirkland, the Angel of Mercy, correct? aka "Angel of Marye's Heights" According to the story I just found on a web site, that would be correct. It said he is buried in the Quaker Cemetery in Camden, SC. My little boy went on a class trip to the SC State House today. I told him to look for the portrait and medal. I'll see if he found it when I see him this afternoon. Jeff

Hi Nancy, I'm sending the message to the list since there are others that live in or near the Columbia area. I have hunted this paper all last night and most of today and in the process I did a lot of organizing but still have a way to go. I believe this paper to be a part of the Kirkland source records but since I have it loose, I can't be sure. The only other place I would have gotten it would have been from the Satilla Regional Library. I do know that it came from the files of Betty Kirkland Schledensky. Unfortunately, I wasn't careful to document everything when I first became interested in genealogy. Anyway...this letter was written in 1972 from a lady named Annie W. Brock and is to a lady named Wilma____?. Here's what it says: "There is a place in Camden that was purchased by a northern family and was what used to be known as the four mile house. In its time it was used as a mark for the stage coaches (four miles to Camden). Later it was called the "Kirkland House". My mother visited there and it did belong to some of the Kirklands but I do not know who. When I was there last it was in beautiful shape, lovely crystal chandeliers, circular staircase, large columns that you could not reach around and windows to the floor. The occupants used it in winter and as we were there in summer the caretaker took us all over the place. Out back were the stables. Unless fire has destroyed it it should be there still. Many times I have been to the Quaker cemetery. a number of our relatives are buried there. Richards' grave is nicely marked with a large blue granite stone with reference to his deed. Somewhere I have a picture of it. Sincerely, Annie W. Brock Hopefully with the Historical Society's help, you will be able to find this house and some of the history on it. The Richard, she mentions above is Richard Rowland Kirkland, the Angel of Mercy, correct? Let me know when you find the house. I still haven't tied our Kirklands into the family of Richard Rowland Kirkland but we will.
