I have been on this list for a few months, but have not seen very much to respond. I am researching the McGarity line. My line came through Elbert county in the1790's and early 1800s. I did see where there was a connection to an Allgood somwhere in there that dated back to Elbert County. The McGarity that I came from was Abner McGarity. He married in Elbert County to Mary Scales. her family came from Elbert County during the same time period. if anone has information on the McGaritys or Scales, I would greatly like to hear from you. They all owned land around the Savannah River and close to what was known as Scales ferry. Thanks Steve Wills. steve.wills@mindspring.com
