I know this is the Elbert Co mailing list but....does anyone know if John W Baker (who wrote the above mentioned book in 1933) married into the SANDERS family? I show a John Wm Baker b 9/22/1858 married to Frances Angeline Sanders b abt 1861, in my ancestor's line and am wondering if it is the same John W Baker. Also still looking for the parents and siblings of Elias Sanders b 1775 married to Mary Carter b 1775. Anyone with any information please post it or email me direct. Thanks, Gale Sanders ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
The 1820 Elbert County Census Index Lists the Following Fords: Elisha Ford in Rucker's District Isaac Ford in Rucker's District listed next to James Pledger John Ford in Terrell's District The 1830 Elbert County Census Index also lists Elisha, Isaac, and John Ford...no districts given The 1840 Elbert County Census Index lists Richard Ford. Hope this helps, Dawn
There's one FORD marriage listed in Ann Clark Holloman's book, "Elbert County Marriages, 1805--1913." That's NANCY FORD's marriage to THOMAS PLEDGER, March 2, 1815. That's recorded in Book K12, page 309. --Jim Lee
I am researching info. on Joseph Ford born in Elbert Co. GA in 1802. He is my Ggggrandfather. He married in Jasper Co. and moved to Floyd Co., GA where he had plantation and lived until he died. His Mother was Elizabeth from Va. Does anyone in Elbert Co. have any info on Joseph? Are there still Ford's living in Elbert Co? Does anyone know of and Isaac Ford married to Elizabeth who had two daughters born in Elbert Co? The two daughters were Mary "Polly" 1795-1881 and Nancy 1806-1846 both of whom married brothers by the name of Pledger. Nancy died in Floyd Co.,GA. Could her family have followed Joseph Ford ? Maybe they were related. Any ideas or clues will be appreciated. Marian Ford Downey < MarianRome@aol.com>

Ken, I don't know much but you would need to remember that depending on the time frame you are looking at in history, you might find info in Franklin, Elbert or Hart. If you go to usgenweb, you can find GA and look at the counties formation dates. They even have some maps. I found a great site on Ancestry.com and you can probably go there by typing in http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/reference/maps let me know if you have any problems.
