Hi y'all ;-) I took on Colquitt County in April of 2000 because my grandfather and his siblings were born there. I was born and raised in Florida (5th generation Floridian on several lines). I graduated from USC (that's the University of South Carolina, the first USC!!) and was a college professor for several years. Currently I'm a mathematical statistician for the Census Bureau. Brick walls? I've got quite a few: 1) Joseph Pitts, born in GA in 1858 or 1860. He's listed in the 1860 Brooks County census, but is he the brother or son of Sarah Pitts listed with him? 2) Franklin Harvey Harris, born 1876, Columbia County, FL. Is he the son of Thompson C.B. Harris? Is the Harvey R. Harris buried in Bradford County FL the same man? 3) Sarah Johnson, born 1849, married Joseph Pitts. Who were her parents? (I have a pretty good idea, but do you know how many Sarah and James Johnsons there are in GA?!) And those are just a few on the paternal lines!
