Was looking through some old "Coweta Courier" publications from the Coweta County Genealogical Society that I had from 1997 (Vol. 16 #3 Spring 1997) which has an article about Storey families in Coweta County, GA, with excerpts as follows: ..."John S. Storey left Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1825 and came to Coweta County, GA...The Spartanburg, SC County Courthouse lists recorded wills and land records...George Storey, the grandfather of John S. Storey received land in a grant from King George III. The first house that George Storey built was burned, the second one was still on the property (in 1963?). Remains of Storey's Fort, built during the Rev. War, were still on the property. The Fairforest Presbyterian Church which was organized by George Storey and other early settlers was not standing, but the cemetery was there with many marked Storey graves. We went to the home of Mrs. Mae Ward who had George Storey's Bible and copies of the land grants from King George III. "The Family Storey", published in 1955, gave the information from the George Storey Bible. John Storey, the fourth child of George married Nancy McIlwain. The names of the children were unknown but were reared in Georgia. The first Storey Will listed in the Spartanburg County Courthouse was John Storey, Nancy Storey, administrator, Sept 9, 1799. Nancy (Agnes) Storey and James Storey came to the courthouse to settle the estate of John Storey on Nov 23, 1799. The Newman, GA Presbyterian Church gave the names of the early Storey members. John S. Storey and Belinda Storey and five of their children were listed along with Anthony Storey, W.H. Storey and others. John S. Storey b. Sept 15, 1797, in Spartanburg County, SC died Apr 15, 1875 in Summerville, GA married Melinda (Belinda) Herston, d. 1898, Lindale, GA: Children: Martha Lucinda, Melinda Henderson and twins, Jasper Lafayette and Newton. Jasper Lafayette Storey, b. 20 Nov 1841, Carroll County, GA, d. 14 Mar 1920, Rome, GA, married in Coweta County, GA Jan 11, 1866 Nancy Susan Gentry, b. 29 Jun 1841, d. 4 Apr 1924 Rome GA. Children: Carrie, Newton A., John William, Irene and Susan. ...James McIlwain d. May 25, 1807 (age 94 yrs) married Jean, d. 29 Oct 1803 (age 71 yrs) Children: James, Jane, and Nancy. Jamaes and Jean McIllwain and daughter Jane are buried in the Fairforest Presbyterian Cemetery in Union County, SC. There are several unmarked graves with badly worn markers in the area of marked Storey graves in the Fairforest Presbyterian Cemetery. The early Sessions Book from the Fairforest Presbyterian Church which are housed in Montreat, NC shows John Storey as a witness Jan 18, 1793. He was recorded at Captain John Storey, his rank in the Revolutionary War. *Note: Volume 9, Issues 1 and 2 , 1989 has Storey information that is connected with this family.." Old issues of "The Coweta Courier" can be purchased for $4.75 from the Coweta County, Genealogical Society PO Box 1014 Newnan, Georgia 30264 Hope this helps someone in research on the Storey families in Coweta County, GA Candace in Oregon

When I saw the query about the Story family it rang a bell. I have in my files Lucinda STORY b 1815 in GA or TN married 1836 Nathaniel CURBO b 1812 in Jackson Co, GA They moved to Texas. I have the CURBO line. Rayman carlton Atlanta, GA raytv@mindspring.com m

I recently came across an Indian Depredation of Richard Storey (son -- Jesse Storey; daughter -- Mary Hamilton). It was such an interesting record (and had absolutely nothing to do with what I was looking for at the time) that I transcribed it and put it on my website. If you're interested, the URL is: http://georgiaresearch.home.mindspring.com Once there, click on "Past Gems", then click on "An Indian Depredation". Richard Storey's claim was in 1821 and based on losses incurred 1770-1779. Joan Pettengill

I now have the book "Coweta County, Georgia Cemeteries" in my personal collection. My husband's roots go very deep in the county and it just finally made sense to own it. If any one needs a quick look up -- i.e. specific name, not just "all Smiths" I will gladly help you out. PLEASE E-MAIL ME PRIVATELY, not thru the list. My address is TR61971@aol.com And if anyone has any NIXONs in their line I would love to hear from you.

Here is a link to the Coweta County Genealogical Society web page, which has some interesting info in it as well as a listing of the genealogy publications they offer such as census books, etc. They also show some of the queries that their members have submitted on various families of the area http://members.tripod.com/~CowetaGS/index.html Candace in Oregon

I would be most grateful if someone with easy access to the Coweta Census records would be kind enough to look up James WATKINS on page 356 & James R. WATKINS on page 357 of the 1850 Coweta Co. Census and give me the information on these two families. Thank you so very much, in advance. Patricia Schiro schiro@gte.net

Hi, In my desperation I am posting my "lost" Pennington again. I have lots of information once the line ties into the Nixon line of Coweta Co., GA, but I have a hard time finding anything previous since Silas died at such a young age in the Civil War. I am currently attempting to search every Pennington family in the GA 1850 census records to try to locate Silas with his parents, but have struck out in the counties I have searched so far. . . Descendants of Silas M. Pennington Generation No. 1 1. Silas M. Pennington was born 1841 in Georgia (1), and died 23 Mar 1864 in Civil War, Rock Island POW Camp, Rock Island, Illinois. He married Frances Emily Stewart 18 Jul 1858 in Coweta Co., Georgia. Notes 1860 Census -- Coweta Co., GA; Haralson P.O. The Several Districts 5 July 1860; pg 745, #576-506 Ida born 4 July 1860 -- census states include only individuals living in abode on 1st June 1860 Member of C.S.A., Company G, 53d Regiment; Georgia Volunteer Infantry, Army of Northern Virginia. Private 30 April 1862. Wounded at Knoxville, TN 29 Nov 1863. Died at Rock Island, IL 1864. Children of Silas Pennington and Frances Stewart are: 2 i.

Dear Janice, According to Coweta County, Georgia Marriages 1827-1979, William H. Marshall and Curicy Ann Upchurch were married 23 Mar 1848. Since someone has checked the 1850 and 1860 census records, it's possible that they moved to a neighboring county. You might try the counties around Coweta, asking for one or two specific census records.
