Good Morning from Forsyth County It is cloudy and rainy here but we need the rain. I am like you, in that I got so tired of the viruses that I quit posting. I talked with Brenda yesterday and she is "back on board" as my cataracts get worse until they can be operated on. http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaforsyt/ is too good a site to let go. Annette brought me a copy of the new book last week and I will be reviewing it here soon. Please remember that I will mail no attachments to anyone. Also, I have my email blocked for attachments and if you need to send me anything besides an email, you will have to email me first and make arrangements. Have a lovely day!! Donna

Hi: When you go to the library, could you do me a huge favor. Could you look to see if perhaps a man named Isaac Casey left a will there in Forsyth Co. GA sometime after 1850 sorry but I don't have a date or anything for him. I do know that he appeared on the 1850 US Census living next door to my Grandfather Hix Martin. I believe that my Hix Martin married one of Isaac Casey's daughters. I know that he did in fact marry a Margaret Casey but I have to prove that Isaac was her Father and try to learn the maiden name of her Mother. I will be glad to pay all cost of copies, postage and time if you could do this favor for me. I have tired to get into the 1860 Census of that place but so far have had no luck at all. This is why I don't know if Isaac died there or when but I do know I need to find this man's will real bad.

I found a "Rev. W. W. West (Pastor)" listed on the "list of Pastors and Clerks up to 1924" for Corinth Baptist Church. Source- History of Forsyth Co., GA. Vol. 2, Garland C. Bagley Emily

Not much, but The church decided in September 1889 to ordain Br. Wm. West to the Full work of the ministry at the next meeting. Br. W.W. West and his wife called for their membership letter from Mt. Tabor Baptist Church in December 1893. I might have a little more information if you will email me directly. This was what I found quickly.
