I have that William TIDWELL married Caroline GRAVITT on 7 January 1841 in Forsyth Co., GA. I found that information in the Forsyth Co., GA Marriage Book A (1833-1848) pg. 104. I have heard from a cousin that William TIDWELL had three wives and that his second wife (Mary Jane GRAVITT) was the sister of his first wife (Caroline GRAVITT). She told me that William TIDWELL and Mary Jane GRAVITT were married on 17 July 1860 in Forsyth Co., GA. But I haven't been able to locate this in any Forsyth County information. Could someone look up this information for me? I would greatly appreciate it. Also, does anyone know if the information about the two women being sisters is correct? --Stephanie Campbell Alexandria, VA sjcampbell@comcast.net

I know nothing of the Ropers you are mentioning nor the Phillips, but it is possible that the Eliza Jane here was the SISTER of Larkins deceased mother. In our wills, when our children were small, we named my husband's sister to care for our children, if my parents were unable to do so. Billie Jones ----- Original Message ----- From: "David L.

I happened upon a local cable program tonight on Forsyth History. It gave several sources for the information at the end in credits. It had some nice shots of the Buffington Tavern and a little about James Vann being killed there. No one mentioned that the building had been logrollered to it's present location from across the road. (I missed the beginning.) It told a thrilling story about Chief Rising Fawn and his band robbing a Federal Gold shipment from the mint, lowering the wagon off Pool's Mill Bridge and floating the wagon with the gold down Settingdown Creek to Rising Fawn's village. If you see it -- enjoy the scenery. Gold was discovered by the white man about 1829. The mint was built thereafter. In 1829 Rising Fawn made an affidavit on the Creek - Cherokee line. The appraisal of his character also in the Federal microfilm was "that he is an old man ...feeble and simple" For simple read senile. For a history of the bridge see http://www.rootsweb.com/~gafchs/poolmill.html IA covered bridge has sides - you can't lower a wagon over the side of a covered bridge. If it was the simple wooden bridge that was there before, it would have taken a lot of engineering to hoist a gold filled wagon over the side and it would have been a lot easier just to drive the wagon off into the shallow water close to the bridge or off the ford that preceded the bridge. As for the secret caves on Sawnee Mountain - all the high school kids have been in those caves one time or the other. Also, Sawnee Mountain had a working commercial gold mine until after 1900. Sawnee is pronounced Sauney. If you see it -- enjoy the scenery. Donna

I am posting the following for the author of a new genealogy book. These are records that have not been available before now. Henderson Co.,NC was formed in 1838, and in 1861 Transylvania Co., NC was created out of Henderson Co., NC. So abstract for Henderson Co., NC from 1838 to 1900, and Transylvania Co., NC from 1838 to 1861 when Transylvania Co., was still part of Henderson Co., NC If you will email her names you are looking for she will tell you if the book will be beneficial to you. ------------snip------------- These valuable records have been in Raleigh NC since 1960 and never available in any printed form before now. Estate records, or probate records, were generated when a person died without a will. The court settled the deceased estate and in doing so generated a tremendous amount of documentation. These documents usually listed the widow/widower, heirs (children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters), sometimes where the heirs lived, names of slaves who were sold to settle the estate, dower issues, inventories and accounts. In fact, estate records give much more information than a will. I have published an abstract of these records. There are over 750 su r names listed and over 5000 names. The amount of information is truly phenomenal! Click on the URL below to review the book and for ordering. If you will email the name you are looking for I will tell you if the book will be beneficial to you. <A HREF="http://ksummers55.home.mchsi.com/">http://ksummers55.home.mchsi.com/</A> Kathleen Summers <ksummers55@mchsi.com>
