Amelia appears to have been in Wilkes Co. first. Therefore, I would assume that that is where her parents are to be found. You will find her first husband there which lends evidence to this idea. Have you checked the Joyce Poole Chart online? I am not sure, but your Amelia might be #65. I know that Joyce thought that she was related back in 2000. However, I do not know her present thought. She is writing the Heard family book and it will probably be out with in the year. I don't remember the other name.

Eleanor: Yes, our lines meet back around 1800. I have never met any of the Channells from Greene Co., although I have corresponded with some of them. Gus is a brother to the father of "Mickey" Channell, the state representative (unless there is another "Gus". I have a lot of Channell information. I hope to go to Greensboro this year and do some more research. I would appreciate any information on the Heards. They actually come in on my mother's side. Amelia Heard m. John Bell; their daughter, Charlotte Bell, m. Jesse Hughes. This family moved to Tuscaloosa, AL about the same time as my Channell family (1840-1845). I hope to attend the Hughes reunion in Tuscaloosa in a few weeks.

While the Heard family is being discussed here, I'd like to add my Heard ancestors to the mix! I am descended from Amelia "Milly" Heard b. ca 1774 Pittsylvania Co., VA - probably daughter of William Heard & Mary; first married Francis Patterson, b.ca 1772 d. ca 1805 Greene Co., GA. They had 7 children; Amelia second married William Jones Sr. 5 Jan 1808 in Greene Co., GA. Wm Jones Sr had 7 children from his first marriage to Mary Ham and together they had 7 more. This family removed to Jasper Co., GA. I have information on most of their combined 21 children. I have not connected Amelia "Milly" Heard Patterson Jones to the other Heards in Greene County during that time period but would love to make a connection. Any information appreciated and I'm glad to share what I have.

I am a descendant of John Heard who moved into this area of Greene Co. when it was still Washington Co. ca 1786. The DAR had put a marker up for John on the south side of GA State Route 15 or in that area not far from Washington sometime back in the 1930's. They said that he had served the Rev War in GA. However, like so many of the early DAR papers and ideas this is NOT correct. John was a citizen of VA and can be documented there during the War years. However, some of his family had moved to GA in the 1770's and did serve from GA, but not this John Heard. My question is to anyone living in the area. Is that marker still there? I looked for it, but didn't know if I was looking in the right place or if they had removed it because the data on it was not accurate. If it is still there, has the data on it been corrected? Thanks. Eleanor

I have a question. I am seeing many post about the differences between the new Family Tree Maker 2005 (www.ftm2005.com) and the Legacy Family Tree Program. I have used the PAF and ftm7.0 before and have looked in most of the reviews of all the Family Tree progams out there, from all this I have seen that FTM2005 and Legacy are the top 2 programs out there. I am leaning towards the FTM 2005 since it is the most popular but some Legacy folks have made some good points. Basically I am torn between which one to get and am looking for any good solid advice. You can email me off list at familyhunter@myresearchers.com if you want. Thanks in advance.

I did not see the original information on Richard J Harris-But I show one Richard Jones Harris born a 1820-29 d 19 Apr 1864 Civil War Dalton Ga- lived Greene Co. Ga. I don't show his wife- I show his parents as Henry Harris born 2 Dec 1807 and Martha A Jones born 14 Jan 1872. I have more on all lines-goes back to my Warren, Wilkins (And Nathan Harris & Catherine Walton) Notes on Richard: He died of dysentery. Pvt 66 Reg. 9 Aug 1833 another birth date. 1850 Census Greene Co. Ga. Line of Donalyn Harris Vaughn DoniMom3@aol.com Dec. 2000 query on Greene Co. dvaughn085@yahoo.com Dec 2003 I too am descended from William and Ruth Hunter Greene by their son Augustine - his daughter Sara Elizabeth was my g-great grandmother. Several members of the family have been trying to confirm that William's father was Capt. William Greene Sr, a first cousin to Nathaniel Greene for at least 100 years now. I have bits and pieces of a genealogy that was started in the early 1900s, including one photocopied page of Sara Greene Harris's Bible - written in her hand. Unfortunately the page I have from the family Bible only lists deaths in January 1854 of Ann Elizabeth Harris, Charles William Harris, Mary Greene Harris; and the death of her husband Richard J. Harris on the 19 April, 1864. Sara and Richard Harris's son, Augustine Greene Harris "Gus" was my great-grandfather. I know Greene County was founded primarily by people from North Carolina - which is where William and Ruth (Ruthie in all our family records) were from. Whether we are connected to Nathaniel Greene is a mystery. I have photos of Augustine Greene Harris, and my brother and I both very much look like him List 7 children-including Augustus Greene.

Hi, I have this on Augustine GREENE (1797-1852) and it was from someone else. We know who the Elizabeth DANIEL was that married William Alston GREENE (1821-1905). She was the gd/o James DANIEL II and Elizabeth CUNNINGHAM of Oglethorpe County, GA by his son, David DANIEL, according to researchers for this family. I do not know who the parents of Richard J. HARRIS were but I would take a close look at the Walton HARRIS bunch and his father, Nathan HARRIS of Greenville County, VA if I were you. I have most of the information on Augustus's parents and most of his kids because of their links back into the FITZPATRICKS. Another reason I monitor this family is because of the HUNTER connection because both these HUNTERS and FITZPATRICKS roll into my RICHTER family of Madison, GA. A DANIEL family also rolls into this same family in Madison and we know which DANIEL family they were related to -- the descendants of Capt. James DANIELL and Jane HICKS of Albemarle County, VA. We do not yet have DNA for the Cunningham-Daniel bunch of PE County, VA so I do not know how they connect. They may be one overall DANIEL family or several that intermarried. That, we do not know, yet. I think this, at least my DANIEL family, had major connections to Brunswick County, VA and this is where the HICKS link comes into James DANIEL. Also, your LINER connection is probably LANIER because these folks were all over this bunch and they all seem to roll out of Surry into Brunswick and, later, into Greeneville County, VA. Page 96B of the 1850 Greene County, GA census should tell you where Augustus GREENE lived. I am sorry I did not keep the email address of this person who sent me this information but I did not. <<< I am a direct descendant of William Greene and Ruth Hunter through their son Augustine. Augustine's son William Alston married an Elizabeth Daniel who was born in Wilkes County Georgia. William Alston and Elizabeth migrated to Oak Bowery, Alabama (which is now near Opelika). They had a large family and their house still stands. I hope this helps someone on the thread. I am still trying to find proof as to how our Greene family of Georgia is related to the Rhoda Island Greenes. I enjoyed reading the thread that told how the relationship is through a Benjamin Greene. Does anyone have any more information on this relationship?

This is my family. Augustine Greene's daughter, Sarah, married Richard J. Harris in 1843 in Greensboro, GA. They had several children including my great grandfather, Augustine Greene Harris. Sarah Greene is buried alongside Augustine Greene Harris and his wife Belle Snellings Harris, and several of their children at the city cemetery of Greensboro. Richard Harris died of dysentery in Dalton GA during the Civil War, and is buried at the Confederate Cemetery at Dalton - one of two known soldiers buried in that cemetery. We went to Greensboro over the summer to find graves and such. We drove out to Lemuel Greene's family farm which is a private residence. We also drove out to the church where Phoebe Burke Greene was a member. We would love to find exactly where Augustine Greene and Phoebe Burke lived. I know Augustine died at Lemuel's farm of small pox. My grandparents grew up in Greensboro. My grandfather and his family (Augustine Greene Harris and Belle Snellings Harris) lived in town not far from the railroad tracks, but my dad and aunt can't remember which house was theirs. My grandfather (Richard Hillman Harris) left Greensboro as a young man in the early 1900s and moved to Atlanta. He was a very interesting character, and I am working on a biography about him.

Her father took her to Houston, Tx to a family by the name of Reid/Reed and they either officially adopted her or just took her in. She later married a Military man and moved to Germany to be with him. They stayed there for some time and may still be there, but rumor has it they moved back to the U.S. Bonnies real mother's name was Laura Ferguson Watson Hill. Her Father Pete Hill. I am trying to desperately find this lady as she is my mom's half sister and is dearly loved by her. My mom is very poor health and would like to see her before it is to late.
