Jackie, 1840 William J Johnson 1 poll/6 slaves/250 acres pine /Early Co/ Town property Ft Gaines worth $800 Practicioner of medicine 1842 William J Johnson 10 slaves/Practitioner of medicine 40 acres/2nd quality/Cherokee Co /[word I can't read] 250 acres/Pine/Early Co/5th dist/#315 I don't see the Baileys or the Joseph A Johnson on any of the pages I have. Don't rule them out based on this. I have 17 pages of xeroxes for 1840 & 21 pages for 1842. I may not have all pages of the digests. My xeroxes of the 1850 (8 pages) are definitely only for the pages where there is someone I am researching listed. Lindy

I and my husband are in the process of building a website on states in the southeast. Im going to have basic information on records and links. If someone familiar with the records available for this county could take a look at it and correct me on information or can add info (especially county history), I would really appreciate it. Also any feedback from anyone is also helpfull. The address is http://www.segenealogy.com then go to the state and county page. Thanks in advance.

I live in Georgia, have a few family lines in Early/Clay Co.'s (Killingsworth and Ivy) and although I am no expert, I can give you a little info and maybe help to get on the right track. If memory serves, there were about 6 different land lotteries, starting in 1805 and the last one in 1832. I believe the one that involved Early Co. was in 1820. There is some information about the land lotteries at the following website: http://www.sos.state.ga.us/Archives/rs/lotteries.htm It will give you a history of the lotteries in general, has a place to click on to see history on each individual lottery, as well as information about how you can obtain the records of the lotteries. I hope this might help. Kay __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com

Dear Researcher: A recent message was sent to me on some family that particapated in the Cherokee Land Lottery, Early Co., GA. There were no dates shown. Were these prior to the 1790 census?? We are trying to establish time lines here. Robert Temples

Dear Lindy: With so many Temple's naming their kids of every generation Frederick, William, James, John, and Jacob, trying to sort who's who is a challenge. Then add in migration of families. Our job is try to put the right person in the right place in the right time! Every piece of the puzzle helps. To that I thank you and I will compare it to our present findings.

For anyone researching Temples in Early Co. - Do you know of a Faye Temples who would have graduated @1960 from Blakely Union/Early County High School in Blakely, Ga. I attended school with her in Grades 1 thru 8 and then I moved away. Would love to make contact with her. Any help would be appreciated. Ida

Lindy: Does your copy of the tax digest have anything for Joseph A. Johnson? or John and Cynthia (Santifer) Bailey? or George Bailey?

Sharon, Not that I am aware of, however, they could have had a daughter named Temperance. I have info on 12 of their 14 children. I have nothing on the two that apparently died as infants or were stillborn. I only know that they were 14 children because William wrote it in a letter that I was fortunate enough to get a copy of. Would you like the children's names that I have? I will be happy to send them to you. I'm curious as to why you asked the question about Temperance?

Liz, did they by any chance have a daughter named Temperance? She would have been born around 1816. Thanks, Sharon

Dear Temple's Researchers: Yesterday, we had the absolute pleasure of visiting with Joyce Temple Barnet, noted author of the "Temple People". In some respects, it felt more like visiting your grandmother's house where she shares family stories, feeds you lots of food and cookies. Without a doubt, this woman characterizes all the grace and charm of the south. The reason it also felt like a family visit was the presence of my family. My daughter played with her grand daughter and my wife the real genealogist in our family assisted Joyce and myself as we danced through hundreds of Temple's. We felt much like students in the presence of the master. This lady has researched her Temple lines from Virginia to Mississippi for over thirty years and now she is working on her second book. With all her work is fresh in her mind she recalls these people like they are still among us! Her dedication and hard work to produce everything so far has been done with little or no aid of the computer. Pen, paper, copy machines, and years of hard work have been her tools. So, the most noticeable difference between our research is our use of technology to document everything into a database for cross-referencing and sorting data. My wife found well-respected software several years ago call "The Master Genealogist". It allows us multi-assign family notes and assurity levels of data. At this point, most of our "Temples" data is on my lines. We are starting to incorporate connected lines with Joyce's as we find them. We are hoping to help where we can on her new book. The focus of the meeting was to address questions of others to us and to try to establish any links in our lines. It appears that we need to glean as much as we can now from the Virginia and North Carolina lines that migrate after the Revolutionary War. It is our suspicion that the southern lines originated from the Prince George County group out of Virginia. From 1660 to 1770, the migration was fairly local to VA, NC, TN, and KY. After the Revolutionary War, that all changed with bounty lands and land lotteries opening up "the west". Our biggest challenge is the verification of these connections. So many records of the south were distorted at various times that just finding records at all is difficult to impossible. What we did agree on was that the three sons, Frederick, John, and James c. 1750 of a Frederick Temple born c. 1720, most likely in Virginia, lived in Anson Co., NC before and during the Revolutionary War from approximately 1760 to 1803. Then Frederick c. 1750 moved to Montgomery Co, GA in 1805, to join his son, Frederick c. 1774, who was already living there. Frederick c. 1774 then moves to Early County, GA in about the same time to raise his family. That is the origin of the Early Co. Temple's. John Temples c. 1755 moved to Richland Co., SC with very little to his name. He was deaf and defective in his sight and weak in body, (probably war injuries) and apparently "dirt poor". In the 1820 census, he is shown with a hoe, skillet, and an old horse and little else. He would live there until 1830 when he moves to Montgomery Co., AL. James Temples Sr. c. 1754, moved to Burke Co. (Jefferson County area later) in 1788 when Georgia got statehood. They lived there until 1815, when they moved back to Edgefield Co., SC until his death in 1829. In 1815, Georgia levied a head tax that may be why James left. Joyce has document her "Jesse" lines and now she is looking closer, as are we, to the Jacob, Jones, and John lines that arrive in Ga. around 1790. Most of these came from VA or NC and are most likely related to the Prince George County group out of Virginia. We have not yet established which Frederick Temple form VA c. 1720 is connected to the three sons. We think he was the one killed in the Revolutionary War as stated by Lucy Temple in her book. We suspect that Burwell may have been his father, but this needs clarifying and verification. To all those who contributed so much of your time and effort to these lines, a personal thank you each and every one of you! Every effort to piece together our shared past will bring more of us to the common knowledge that we are "Temple's" and the descendants of a thousand more related lines. Robert and Louise Temples

Dear Lindy: Yes, any information is important to our research. We have some there, but very little. We are focusing on descendants of Frederick Temple c. 1800 in Early co.

Looking for info on my g-g-g-grandparents, William McELVY and Barbara (Barbary) REEVES McELVY. William was born ca 1778 and they were married in 1799. They were in Burke Co, GA in 1803, then in Tattnall Co, GA in 1820, then in Decatur Co, GA in 1830. William died in Decatur Co. in 1842 and Barbara died there in 1838. William was a Primitive Baptist preacher who traveled to many areas and constituted a number of churches. He was associated with William Hawthorne in his ministry. William & Barbara had 14 children. They settled in south GA and north FL. I am specifically in need of info regarding William and Barbara's ancestry. <parents, siblings, birthdates, marriage location, etc.> Any and all info, no matter how little, will be appreciated. Thanks!
