In more recent years the stream has been known throughout the county by the more prosaic name "Big Creek"

This is the first I have heard about the book. What are the surnames in this book. Thanks, Hazel "Land Of The Free, BECAUSE Of The Brave!" -----Original Message----- From: David L. Roper [mailto:macroper@ipa.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2003 8:58 AM To: GAFORSYT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [GAFORSYT] Roper Book Ready I have good news and bad news. Which do you want first? THE GOOD NEWS? I finished Volume One of the Roper Book and it is being printed even as I type. It ended up about 440 single-spaced 8&1/2 inch pages (if you don't have your calculator handy, that's roughly equivalent to a 880-pages regular-sized book). I will try to paste in the table of contents at the end of this message so you can see what Volume One covers. The book has a soft-cover and is spiral bound. The sub-title is "THE 'LOST' ROPERS OF FORSYTH COUNTY, GEORGIA." THE BAD NEWS? The book is going to cost more than I thought - more than I mentioned in my end-of-the-year newsletter. Two reasons for this: (1) It is much, much, MUCH bigger than I thought it would be. (2) The last time I did a family-history book, the copy center (which had just opened and was looking for business) gave me their commercial rate. No such luck this time. Anyway, the book is going to cost $26.00 plus $3.50 p&h. If you want a copy or copies, send me a check for $29.50 for each one ordered. I assure you that I am making no money on this deal. Why then am I going through this hassle? Because I thought someone ought to do this - and it finally looked like if it was going to be done, I was going to have to do it.

Thanks for your help but I don't think this could be my Nancy Dobbs. Nancy (Dobbs) Barker had children born from 1842-1861 and she lived 1815-1881.

Hi I found a marriage record of a Nancy Dobbs to Hayton Willoughby on the 10 Nov 1878 in Book B page 323. This information is from the Cobb County Georgia Early Marriage Index book published by the Cobb County, Georgia Genealogical Society, Inc. Could this be your Nancy Dobbs? Hazelrg@aol.com

The only William Barker that married in Forsyth was in Book A http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/records/marriages.html Donna Parrish

I am trying to find the marriage record for Nancy DOBBS (1815-1881) and William BARKER (b.abt 1800 d 1860-1870) They were probably married in Cobb Co or a nearby GA Co between 1835-1842 but it could have been anywhere from 1828-1859 since I cannot be sure William BARKER was not married to someone else before Nancy DOBBS. I am certain the family lived in Cobb Co from 1860-1881 but I cannot find them in the 1850 census though I think they were in or near Cobb Co. Nancy DOBBS was born in GA (Cobb Co according to her grandchild) and William BARKER was born in Maine I understand the Cobb Co records burned in the Civil War, I am in hopes that other Northwest GA counties were able to preserve their records from before the War. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks Larry Wise lwise2@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
