Christy, Glad I could help. I just wish I could find info for everyone that requests it. I did go back and check the marriage records to see if he had remarried anyone else after Roxie passed away, but I couldn't find anything. There were several Bullards though, some that weren't listed in the cemetery book. If you need any of them, please let me know. You said he had another family. Do you know any of them? Maybe he married in Atkinson County that time instead of Coffee, but I have very few records from there. Melody > HOT DOG! > > Melody, > I was beginning to doubt this man's existence! Thanks so > much...............I owe you a big one!

Vicky, My Bullard connection is definately my brick wall. If I come across anything, I will let you know.

HOT DOG! Melody, I was beginning to doubt this man's existence! Thanks so much...............I owe you a big one! What a dumb mistake I made..............asking for infor on Roxie Bennett instead of using her married name of Herren (this is the way it is spelled on their tombstones. Knowing the alternate spellings is very helpful). Now I can try to get a copy of the marriage certificate and possibly find another thread to pull on for Wesley. Thanks again!

For those of you requesting marriage lookups, please send me some approximate dates (years, centuries..) to narrow the search down a bit. Also most of the marriage index doesn't begin until around 1873 or so. I made a mistake in telling you all that I had placed the males in notebooks..it was the females!!

Christy, I looked in the marriage index of Coffee County and didn't come up with any of these couples. Sorry about that. However, I did come across two others with similar names.

The following Georgia counties are up for adoption. Baldwin - County seat- Milledgeville Carroll - County seat - Carrollton Columbia -County seat- Appling Crisp - County seat - Cordele Seminole - county seat - Donalsonville Spalding - county seat - Griffin Please contact Tim Stowell, Georgia State Coordinator at tstowell@chattanooga.net if you are interested in hosting one of these counties. You may reply back to me privately if you are interested in adopting Crisp County as it is in my South Central Region and I am the Regional Coordinator for that area. If you are interested in adopting one of these counties, it would be great if you had some family ties there and know a bit about HTML, however neither of these are requirements to adopt the counties.

Good morning Clyde, Sorry to be this late getting back to you. Busy, Busy! I checked my Taylor 's that I have entered and I believe that you are absolutely right. My husband descends from that line plus the one below. Could you read over it and see if you have any info on Margaret Taylor. I have no idea if Margaret ever married or not and if she did, to who and other children. There was a few years that "Joe" didn't claim "Minnie" as his child, but did while she was still a child and she married as Minnie Thomas. From a granddaughter, I was told that Joseph Thomas was a policeman in Alma in the early 30's. Any input on Margaret Taylor and Joseph Thomas would very much be appreciated. Also thanks for leading me in the right direction on John A. and the others. Joyce Do you have this line" Descendants of James C. Taylor 1 James C. Taylor b: 1833 .. +Sarah Ann Jane Rigdom .........**** 2 Margaret Taylor ............. +Joseph :Joe" Thomas, a friend that she had an affair with and never married.

Christy, normally the list is very active. We are sorta in a drag right now but I think it is because everyone there has about gotten the main surnames they were after. When some one new joins and post their surnames, it livens up again and they are very helpful. Hope this helps. Joyce Thanks Joyce. I'll give it a try. Do you know if it is a very active group?
