I am new to the list, so hi ya'll! I am researching the surname SUDDERTH. I know that there was a whole clan of them there in Gwinnett. The two men in particular that I am searching for are Jacob A. SUDDERTH and R. Ernest SUDDERTH. If anyone has any information on these men, I would greatly appreciate it. I am a college student in Michigan and I cannot drive down to GA to search for myself. Also, does anyone have access to/or willing, to do some lookups for me? I would like any vital information I can find on them, or marriage certificates. Infact, any documents that may exist would be of great help. Thank you!! -Mary Ottoson -----Original Message----- From: mary ottoson [mailto:ottosonm@msu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 5:23 PM To: GAGWINNE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [GAGWINNE] Look Up Question I am new to the list, so ya'll!

I hope all of the graves have markers by now! If you'd like to find out if your ancestor is on the DAR roll as a Revolutionary Patriot, volunteers will check for you at no charge.

More than three decades ago, monuments in marble and bronze were ordered for the marking of the graves of Revolutionary War soldiers who were buried in Georgia. Most were properly placed back then, but a dozen or so were left forgotten in an Atlanta woman's basement. Now, the last five of them are resting in the bed of Tom McIntosh's pickup. "These just never got done for some reason," said McIntosh, of Lawrenceville, who is chairman of the graves committee for the Georgia Society of Sons of the American Revolution. When McIntosh became aware of the basement trove of unplaced markers, he first had to enlist his grandsons to help him get them out. The marble monuments were crated and weighed just under 300 pounds, he said. Some of the markers were meant for the graves of men who played a significant role in Georgia history. For example, there were markers for a former Georgia governor (William Matthews), a Navy commodore, Georgia's first federal marshal, and Dan Tucker, a well-known Elbert County ferryman, planter, merchant and preacher to slave congregations. He is also believed to be the man in the title of the traditional song "Old Dan Tucker," McIntosh said. "These men were patriots," he said. "Some of them were prominent people." After assessing what he had, McIntosh pursued the question, "Where do these things go?" By searching historical archives, McIntosh was able to locate the grave sites for most of the old soldiers. At least six of them were found to be buried in the historic cemetery at St. Paul's Episcopal Church near Augusta, he said. However, the markers for the graves of Revolutionary War Pvts. William McLeod, Thomas Bonner and Charles Horton have not yet been placed on their graves. McIntosh said he is almost certain of the locations of the grave sites; he just has not been able yet to make the arrangements for placement of the monuments. Meanwhile, McIntosh's pickup has been handling with much improved rear-end traction.
