John and Martha's three daughters were Florence Littleton Watts nee Mackey (1856-1923), Mary Lilla Jones nee Mackey (1857-1929)(my great grandmother), and Sarah Tommie Jones nee Mackey (1859-probably 1935). Mary and Sarah married Jones brothers. There was no son Thomas, Sarah showed up as S Tommie on one census. You may well be right about JTM and the Bridges-Stallings cemetery. It is a small cemetery. I have a 1975 report on the cemetery with the listings and the comment that "3 lots - broken pieces, sunk in and can't read". Martha and her parents G H Page and Nancy Ann Gay are at Tranquil, as are two Page children who died before JTM, so I thought they would have put JTM there, too. In the meantime: I see a Jesse Mackey in the 1827 land lottery for Coweta, but no evidence that he ever left Wilkinson County, where he married in 1842, to come to Coweta. Also can't find his grave. I also see a reference in the Coweta archive history online to a 1852 reference of businesses in Newnan and "Thomas Mackey and his fine dray mules". Solomon T Bridges (Martha's great uncle) was the executor of JTM's estate, which was settled on 22 Nov 1859. It included property and 26 slaves - where did young JTM obtain this wealth? Could he have gotten so much from the Bridges and Pages after his marriages, or did he inherit it? Thanks again for writing.
