Has anyone connected all of these Forsyth Co Garretts and determined their relationships. I have census data from 1820 SC census of Garretts who had sons <5 years old, I copied this when I was trying to find John S. Garrett and his father Daniel in SC. I will post these to the list, if I still have power after Floyd decides where he is going. Although I am 2 Hrs. inland, Hugo came right through Camden SC with 100+ mph winds and so I do not ignore hurricanes anymore. Are the above (names) wives? Thanks for the clarification, and the effort you made to post. Billie Jones

Hi Pat, I don't know If my line of Venable's are the same. My mom said she thought I was confused I have an uncle Grover and she doesn't recall a Glover. I found a Wedpage on the internet posted by Barry Moore, it has my Venable's in it. It also listed some Bagley's but not the one your searching for and there was no Glover's.

Suzanne, I have a William G. Kirk that married RHODY CATHERINE HOLTZCLAW in 1844 Tallahoosa Co. AL could this be of the same family? I have no other data except a birth date for her as 12 July 1826, possibly AL don't know for sure.

As best I can determine, the Hall county cemetery book by Sybil McRay is a one of a kind. It is about 300 pages long and Ms. McRay says that she has no plans to publish it.

Hi Anne! Harmon Bagley, my gggg grandpa who is buried in Forsyth county is listed in the DAR index as a veteran of the Revolutionary war with service in North Carolina. He received land in Lee county based on his war service. Sam

I didn't find Elijah and Mary Ann in my cemetery book. They were family 12 in Hightower on the 1870. I did not find them on the 1880. An Elias E. Holtzclaw married Falbey Evaline McKinney 28 Sep 1882. Was this your Elias, he would have been about 29, if he was your line.

I am searching for the death dates and burial place(s) of Elijah HOLTZCLAW (b. about 1800) and his wife Mary Ann (Polly) HOLTZCLAW (b. about 1825). They are present in the 1850, 1860 and 1870 Forsyth Co. census. They were members of Mt. Tabor Baptist Church. I would appreciate it if you would check for the above info. Thank you very much for your time. Suzanne Collins Matson

I know the WPA surveyed a number of cemeteries during the depression. Did they come to Forsyth County? If so, that would be a good source of graves moved, missing headstones or under the lake. The DAR also recorded cemeteries. Do you know if they have any records for Forsyth?

Donna, Tell me more about these Cemetery Books of Forsyth and Hall Counties, please. I have ancestors from both counties. Have seen newspaper clippings of Sybil McRay's and she had two articles of my families, the LAW & WOODLIFF Families. Can the cemetery books still be purchased and if so how much are they? I sure appreciate it. thanks, Sheryl Rowell Townsend [email protected] [email protected] wrote: > Tracy- > I wrote the "Cemeteries of Forsyth County, Georgia" book.

Dear Tracy, Thanks for the information. i live in Camden SC, and have not done much GA research. when I visit family in North Augusta SC, I can go across the river to Augusta Ga and use their library to do census work. Have done this a couple of time, but have so many Ga relatives on both my MOm and dad's side, and almost all of my husbands, that I have not made much of a dent in it yet. Thanks for the offer to look up the folks. I have so many, I am afraid it would overwhelm you, so I won't ask. Thanks again for the offer.

Thank you for the information. I called it Old Salem Curch because that is how it was sent to me. Can you give me directions there, as i hope to go to the area this year for pictures, once I find out more about where others are buried. Do you have the burial place for Daniel A. Garrett, father of John S.?
