I am researching RICHARDSON from Georgia. My ancestor Thomas RICHARDSON m. Jane (Willis) and moved from Wilkes to TN. I am just hoping some of the them might have filtered over into neighboring counties. So I am mostly a lurker. But I would appreciate any info anyone has about the Richardsons.

Hello: I have noticed the flurry of activity this day and thought I would add to it. I am the GGG Granddaughter of GAINES THOMPSON and SARAH RICE buried at Deep Creek Bapt. Church in Elbert Co. Gaines Thompson is the son of Isham Thompson and Unknown woman (believe she is possibly a Gaines) . Isham married #2 to Elizabeth Williams in Wilkes Co. Isham Thompson was the son of John Farley Thompson who was the son of Robert Thompson II from Chesterfield Co., Va. I have come to believe but cannot substantiate that Sarah Rice, the wife of Gaines Thompson was the daughter of LEONARD RICE. I have some old DAR papers of a woman applying for membership under Leonard that states his children one of which is named Sarah and the birthyear is close to MY Sarah's which is around 1797. Gaines thompson had a daughter named Louisa Thompson who married Zachariah Seymour Jr. they are buried at Rehoboth. Now on MY MOTHER;s Side...... I am the 4th Great Granddaugter of ANDREW BROWN and Margarette Adams who are both buried also at HOLLY Springs Baptist church. In seeing Mr. Gaines' post today and also to me privately, I want to state that I have also looked long and hard at HIS Gaines connections that I believe somehow tie into my THOMPSONS as this Gaines line is also descended from a marriage to ANN Thompson. If anyone can enlighten ME on WHO was the mother of my Gaines Thompson it would be the most fantastic gift anyone could ever supply. Also I might add to tell the list that I will be working on a book on ELBERT CO. in my series of books entitled THESE MEN WORE GREY. I will be undertaking working on Hart and Elbert Co. both this Spring and Summer. I am about to publish my 7th Volume of this series which is on Jackson Co. My webpage can be found at "http://www.hartcom.net/~scv935/grey I have these other family SURNAMES in my lines from ELBERT Co.: I am a descendent of: William Allen William Alexander William Rucker/Barden Rucker and Frances Alexander Andrew Brown and Margarette Adams James Cobb William McConnell Isham/John Farley/and Gaines Thompson John Higginbotham and Susannah Evanson/William Higginbotham and Eliza Tyner William Teasley/ Martha W. "Patsy" Teasley/Thomas Jefferson Teasley John Teasley/James Teasley and Drucilla Allen Richard Tyner (of the famous Tyner Indian Massacre) Also a Carter and Rackley Descendent too way back that connects with these early pioneer families. These are on both sides (mother and Father). So you can see my interest in this Elbert/Hart County Area. Sincerely Karen Thompson Ledford/Toccoa, Ga.

I need help with the above subject matter. Can anyonetell me if they are familiar with the location or know the address of the BOOTH CEMETERY somewhere in Patterson, Pierce, Georgia.

Looking for any Pritchetts in Elbert Co GA. I have 5 Pritchett brothers who were born starting c1815 whose parents may have been in Elbert Co. These brothes were in the Banks/Franklin Cos area 1850 and on. It is believed they descended from Pritchards that were in Anderson/Pickins/Pendleton area of SC but thinking the proximity may have also put them in Elbert Co. There are a lot of Pritchetts in the 1850 census but given names are all in initials. Does anyone have access to the 1860 and 1870 census of present day Elbert Co???. I have exhausted all info in Hart Co GA. any help appreciated. Buddy Pritchett in NC

I'm glad to see some life in the Elbert Co. list. I am still looking for early Hendersons in the county. As best I have been able to determine, there were three Simeon Hendersons in Elbert Co. Ga at about the same time. There seems to be a good bit of information about two of the Simeons but not about my ggggrandfather. My Simeon married Bridget Carroll Heard March 6, 1817 in Elbert Co. Ga. They had at least one son William H. Crawford Henderson, born 1825. Simeon died in Georgia (probably Elbert Co.) and "Bridget moved to Mississippi with her children". The quote would indicate that there was more than one child. I have all kinds of information about her and her family but not Simeon Henderson and his parents.

My material is definitely a Work in Progress and as such is (unfortunately) subject to errors.

Sandy, My Great grandfather was Nicholas "Wesley" Bass b 1846 d 1904/5 in Sumter County Ga. Wesley married Manda Parker in 1867 also in Sumter Co. Children were A. Hinkle, Robert B and my Grandfather William Ackies Bass. He first married Mittie Tribbles and had Bira, Minnie Lee and Pearl Ethel. Then married Mattie Jackson and had William Wesley, Lois and Joseph Cameron Bass 1910-1979 my father who was a produce broker in Thomasville, Ga. for 50 years. My GGgrandfather was William Barrow from Telfair Co. He married Nancy Broxton of Telfair and went to Washington and Jackson Co Florida. Their daughter Mary Melvina Barrow married Robert Samuel Parker and raised a large family in Grady County, Georgia. I think William may be a son of Joseph or Jacob Barrow. Don't yet know. Winnette

Would anyone have any idea where in Florida a man would have gone to work on the Seaboard Air Line Railroad between 1920-1930? I have a MARTIN ancestor who left Middleton outside Elberton, where he worked for the S.A.R. and went to Florida where he met and married his first wife. I am trying to get a clue as to where to look for this marriage. Anyone study railroad construction on this list? Thanks, Janet
