We have family living in these times and may have been neighbors. Lots of families back in those days had lots of childern, but I am aftaid Mr Byrd must have been in competation with a Mr Green that had, I think, 21 childern. I came from a family of 10 childern and we are all as happy as if we had good sense. (joke). Thanks again Always Clydie

Shirley, I didn't know about this one. Karen may or she can call the Kirklands and ask them about it and we can see about adding it to our next "field trip". I looked Sarah Elizabeth Spikes up in the cemetery book but didn't find her listed in the index. It's been a long time since I've been out by Clyde Kirkland's place.

I need to clear up something here.....I am not related (that I know of) to the Byrd family I typed the article about yesterday! I was just trying to help whoever on-line might need that information as I have both the Jeff Davis county books and the cemetery book and I am willing to do look ups as time permits. Sorry if I confused everybody! The author of that piece was a lady by the name of Sue Byrd and it was she who stated that Warren Byrd was her grandfather, not me. I don't know of anyway to contact Sue other than possibly through the Jeff Davis Historical Society or the Chamber of Commerce. Best of luck to all of you in your continued research!

Could ANYONE on the Coffee List tell me the parents of John Wesley Burkett who married Annie Surrancy. I have no dates on them but they had a son, Quillian Chester, b. 21 Nov 1914 in Coffee Co. d. 1 Jan. 1968 Cochran, Georgia in car wreck. Q. C, as he was called most times, m. Lettie Mae Ruis, 3 April 1932 in Coffee Co. She was the d/o Alfred Wilson and Minnola Margaret Taylor/Thomas Ruis is still living. They had 3 sons. Also, does anyone have any info on Annie Surrancy? Any help would be appreciated. Joyce

Who are the parents of Delilah Burkett who married Rev. William Green Tanner? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Guess I had TANNER on the brain. Sorry about that, Clyde. I know it should have been TAYLOR. ~~~~~~~~~ I thought she was a sister of Bartillery. Am I wrong? Do you have ny info on her (dates and such) ~~~~~~~~~~ To tell you the truth, I had not thought about Delilah being a sister of Bartillery. It makes sense. Bartillery had married a sister of William, so William could have married a sister of Bartillery. I wish Huxford had elaborated a little more, or else wrote up a sketch on William Green and his wives. Is there anything in the family files at the Huxford Library? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I haven't been and thought to check that but it is a good idea. Joyce

I'm still looking through the Huxford volumes and came across this: Mr. Spence was living on his farm in the southeastern part of Coffee County when the Civil War came on....He served as Representative from Coffee in 1871-1872, died about 1904 and was buried in the Spence family Cemetery near his home. Anyone ever heard of this cemetery? Melody

Were they his children or not as the will says > they were? Please don't ask me questions that I can't answer! Just kidding. I noticed that Huxford had included Williams will, but I didn't really read the names. I have not seen the will. I just wrote the he (William) had died testate. I thought I had extracted the 1850 census, but I looked just now and I don't have them. I must have copied the information at the library, without extracting, as I used to do. In other words, I'm just as puzzled as you are. > Also, who are the parents of Delilah Burkett who married Rev. William Green > Tanner? I thought she was a sister of Bartillery. Am I wrong?
