Rush Burton was editor/owner of the Lavonia Times and my grandfather's brother. I know that he wrote an article about the Poplar Springs campground which appeared in a special edition of the Times about 1934 devoted to the history of Franklin County. I don't recall him writing anything further on the church or campground but I could be wrong. The 1954 date given is probably 1934 since Uncle Rush died about 1946. Douglas R. Davis

I would also like to buy a copy. I have a lot of relatives buried there, so I feel sure they would be in the records also.

Hello. Someone on another list sent out a message giving the following URL. http://www.ssa.gov/foia/foia_guide.htm I've checked in out, and on 1 July (this Sunday), the fee for a copy of one SS application will jump from $7 to $27 if you do have the SSN, and to $29 if you do not. Other fees are going up as well. The entire list is at the above URL. So let's all get those requests into the mail. Lowell

Helen, I have very little on Lewis and Kezziah Payne Turner but their daughter Catherine married into my Ramsey line. I have much on the Franklin Co. Paynes but haven't been able to connect Kezziah to them yet. Here is what I have on them and you can view all my Franklin Co. GA families on my website in my signature line below. Descendants of Lewis Turner Generation No. 1 1. LEWIS1 TURNER was born in SC. He married KEZIAH (BUSSY) PAYNE Aug 03, 1826 in Habersham Co. GA. She was born 1804 in GA. Notes for LEWIS TURNER: From: "Donna Black" <blackbd@alltel.net> To: <otime@hotmail.com> Subject: Payne Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2000 09:02:13 -0500 David, I've been looking through your Payne Family web site, and was hoping that you might be able to help in my search, or at least put me in touch with Kathy Riddick. In the early marriage list of Habersham Co. Ga. there is a Lewis Turner who married 3 Aug. 1826 Bussy PAYNE, or what looks like Bussy, but more likely Kessy for Keziah. The 1830 census of Franklin co. Ga. list Lewis Turner on page 215 along with John, John M. and Asa Payne. The 1840-C (which is now on line on Usgenweb) list a Lewis Tyner, which must mean TURNER on page 320 nextdoor to Thomas Payne, and other Payne nearby--well, you can see for yourself. The 1850-C of Fkl. Co. list Lewis Turner 56 S.C. Keziah age 46 Ga. Sarah 19 Martha 14 John 12 Moses E. 8 Asa 5 nextdoor is William Samuel Turner age 23 Susan 24 (m. 1847 Susan Elizabeth Stowe) Sarah C. 2 Lewis 1 (Berry Lewis Turner-- my GGgrandpa) note: the 1840-c includes another girl whom I think might be Catherine Turner who married 12 May 1850 Fkl. Co. Ga. David Samuel Ramsey. These clues lead me to believe that Keziah Payne might be my ancestor. I would like to compare notes with Kathy Riddick and also have you compare my notes with yours to see if you think that I might be on the right track.

Turner Family of Franklin Co, GA ca 1830-1852 I am researching the Lewis TURNER b abt 1790-1804 in SC who lived in Franklin Co, GA from before 1830 until he died about 1853 with wife, Keziah Payne and many children (as seen on the 1850 census). Keziah took the children to St. Clair Co, AL where she lived until she was at least 82 (on 1880 census). Two of their sons married daughers of my Hugh Mahaffey Henderson (b 1814 Laurens, SC, married Gwinett Co, GA to a Mary (Bonds or Kenney or Tinney) It was Moses Elijah Turner married NAncy HEnderson of Winston Co, AL and Asa Payne Turner married Elizabeth HEnderson of Winston Co, AL Moses died young of pneumonia and Asa and Elizabeth moved back to St. Clair Co, AL and died near mother, Kezziah. I would like to know the ancestry of Lewis. There are several Turners on the early records. Is his father John? There are so many early Lewis that it is sometimes confusing. There was another family of Lewis Turners who lived earlier (from 1830) in St. Clair Co, AL who were descendants of the Rev War Soldier of VA, Lewis Turner who married a Nancy Gailbraith in Union Co, SC. I have wondered if there is any connection at all to this one? Also, is there any Cherokee blood among the Turners of Franklin Co, GA? Thanks for any kind of Turner information.

Wood is ggrandfather Dorsey Hugh Wood is my grandfather I have search endlessly and can not find out the name of W.C. father. If anyone has any information to provide I would really appreciate it. Thank you, Larry Wood

Friends and fellow genealogists: Just now completed a project and wanted to share the details with others who may want to undertake same for their unmarked Ancestor's graves. I did this on the cheap as is most always the case with me. Cost me no more than about $10.00 if we got down to specifics I used scrap lumber so it may have been less. 1]. Build a frame to hold the concrete in place until it cures. 2]. Cut out letters and numbers. 3]. Glue the numbers inside the form you built in 1. above. There is a gotcha here! Glue the letters as if you were looking thru the wood to the letters. In other words the glue goes on the front of the letters not on the back as you would normally glue on stuff. Use the kind of glue that you set floor tiles with for two reasons a] it holds firmly until the concrete is poured b] it releases as soon as the concrete is cured but the impressions are lasting and as deep as the thickness that you made the letters. Imagine for a minute that the front of the form is glass and you are looking thru the glass to the interior of the form what you see is the writing you want to put on the marker just as you want to read it. Keep this thought in mind as you are gluing the letters in place. 4]. when you have the form made and letters glued into place [glue has set] take a paint brush and spread oil, about a 30 weight heavy oil all over the letters and front side inside of the form so the concrete will not stick to the letters or to the front side of the form. If desired oil the whole inside for ease of operations. 5]. Mix the concrete a little wetter than you would normally pour a sidewalk then pour it and let the concrete cure for several days probably 3 or more days is best. then remove the form and voila you have a tombstone with proper looking message that will last until some idiot decides to break it with a sledge hammer or worse. 6]. I put a little reinforcement in my concrete to make it more durable. i.e. two little pieces of pipe running top to bottom inside the form. Or you can use a little grill work e.g. wire mesh or any old steel or iron rods lying around will strenghten the concrete. 7]. there are many variations you can choose. I cut out the letters on my scroll saw but a band saw will work. Probably you can talk a local friendly woodworker into making the letters free for you. They should be made from 3/8" thick plywood. Letters any thicker would probably be too hard to remove from your forms without damaging the image you want to leave impressed in the concrete. 8]. the form is made from 1"x 6" boards with plywood. Here is a description of the forms. 1 each 1x6x24" vertical each side 2 required 1 each 1x6x18" horizontal each side 2 required place them into a tee shape, square them and screw them together. The top of the tee is your base so turn it upside down and the top becomes the side of your floor of the form. Cut a piece of plywood 18x18" to tie the two tees together and your floor is finished. Use screws to tie the tees to the plywood floor. Don't use nails anywhere; you don't want to hammer anything to get the forms off when the concrete dries. cut 2 pieces of plywood approximately 14"x18" for the front and back. this front is where you will stick your letters on. When ready screw them in place [after letters are glued on]. 4 more pieces of plywood finish the form. They will be about 14"x6" to be horizontal and vertical end caps for the ends of the tees. All these are screwed into place. Leave the top open to pour in the concrete mix. This design is based upon 2 bags of concrete mix at approximately $2.00 each at 40 pounds each so the final marker weighs about 90 pounds. I doubt you want anything larger or heavier unless you have help to make it and set it in place. Try it I think you will like it and I would like to hear from you and how yours turned out. I can send you a drawing via attachment if my instructions above are not good enough. Charles the bonedigger

I have been researching the Heaton family and particularly William S. Heaton, b. ca 1790 for several years now. Unfortunately, the results have been disappointing but I am still optimistic that someone out there will be able to help. I am interested in any information about William S. Heaton. I know that he is listed on the 1850 Franklin County, GA census with the Samuel Heaton family. I believe that Samuel was one of his sons. I enjoy being on the list and reading the many queries about families of Franklin County, GA. I suspect that many of these families have ties to my Heaton family but unfortunately have not been able to prove any. I am looking forward to hearing from members of the list.

David, Interesting to see the list activity. For those 24 of you who are looking for these families: 8 freeman 8 mayfield 8 moss Here are some that are related c. 1801-1850. Dr Henry Freeman (Carnesville doctor 1819-1860) married Martha Mayfield d/o John Mayfield. John was living in Warren Co NC prior to moving to Franklin Co c. 1800. Henry's relative, Keziah Freeman married Rev Henry Moss in Sussex/Surry area of Va before moving to Baldwin Co area in the early 1800's. Perhaps this will stimulate some discussion to the list.
