As you leave Central Baptist Church on the dirt road traveling east. Stay with the main portion of this dirt road by bearing to the right (which takes you in a southerly direction), you will continue on across the New Forest Road, then in about 1/4 miles the dirt road will make a sharp left turn, at this point PULL OFF THE ROAD and STOP. You can get out of your car and walk the fence line headed south (this fence line runs between the farms of Wes Tanner and Fulton Meeks) and walk to the cemetery. Now you can drive closer, but I might get you lost. The last time I was in that cemetery it was in bad condition and that was many years ago - as Wes Tanner walked with me to the cemetery. Somehow, I don't remember ever hearing a name for that cemetery. Emmett

My 1982 edition of "Coffee County, Georgia Cemeteries says "(located on the Wes Tanner farm in Central Church area)". I always assumed that meant Central Baptist Church. Another note, quoting Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia, Vol. I, pg. 292, refers to the cemetery being in land lot 364, 6th district. I'd like to know exactly where it is. Clyde

Benjamin Thomas moved to Appling County about 1840 and settled in the 5th land district where he acquired in time a rather large tract of land, nearly 3000 acres in all. He owned lots 502, 503, 504, 509, 510, 511, all lying in a body. In the creation of Coffee County in 1854, partly out of Appling he was placed just inside the new county. By legislative act approved Dec. 20, 1859, his lands were annexed back to Appling. By another legislative act, approved March 5, 1875, the 1859 legislation was repealed insofar as applying to lots 502 and 511.

Anyone have a list of all the descendants of Matthew McGOVERN, b in Ireland and his wife Eliza PETERSON? I have the account of son Thomas from v7 of PIONEERS OF WIREGRASS GEORGIA. Did his son Matthew b 1848 die before reaching adulthood?

Huxford states that two of Godwin Solomon's daughters married John and Arch PETERSON. Could someone identify the parents of these two Petersons? John married Martha (b 1837) and Arch married Elizabeth (b 1840). Thanks, Nancy in AZ

I would like to add my thanks to all you guys that give so much info on all the connections to the Kirklands, even though I can't find out the names of my grandmother, Marceline Kirkland Waters, parents. I know they are connected some way to a lot of these people you write about. I really enjoyed reading some of the stories about what happen to so many of them--how they were killed and the family they left behind and the life some lived. In a way lots of things never change. Thanks again to all of you Always Clydie

Nancy, Jeff, and Barbara, I may be repeating myself, but I think I told some or all of you that my youngest sister, Lisa, lives with her family in Camden, near Columbia. there is a house near there called the Kirkland house and it was once used as a stagecoach stop. I have a letter that describes it a bit and will have to look for that for you all. I gave Lisa the important job of finding the house and even suggested that she call the Camden or Wateree Historical Society, but she keep forgetting. If any of you ever get near Camden and have the time, please try to find the house. I told Lisa that I may as well take off work and go find it myself, but I forgot that you three live near there!! Happy Hunting in Kershaw and Lancaster counties, which was once "Kirkland" country.
