I believe William and Nancy came to Ga from NC about 1805. I believe one of the children, William b 1804 NC was my grandfather. I have reviewed the Habersham County Deeds book while at the LDS Library in SLC and found some info about William, Sr. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Surnames: Chruch Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3c.2ADE/1537.1.1 Message Board Post: HEllo Thanks for the reply. I had the info you sent me but I thought if someone could find an obit for Timothy church it might say something about his parents. My ancestor was Jane Church who married Solomon Ray in 1829 in Henry co Ga. I am trying to find who her parents were. I believe her father was Benjamin Church who was also the father of Jane Chruch which would mean Jane Church was the sister of Timothy Church. I do not know how Benjamin Church's wife was. I do not know when or where Benjamin Church was buried. I do know Timothy Church had a son named Benjain Church. The Benjamin Church who was the father of Timothy Church was born in NC in 1763 and probaly died in the 1830's in Campbell co ga or Habersham co ga. I can not find any info proving that Benjamin church was the father of Jane Echols. She was born 1807-1810 probaly in NC. Thanks, Ross

I've seen the term, too. In the cases where I've noted it, the person was elderly and was in the household of someone other than an immediate family member. I took it to mean that the person was unable to take care of himself. In my case the "inmate" was a 90 year old grandfather in the household of his granddaughter and her husband. W.

I have found that the term inmate meant ...also living in the same household but not necessarily related to the head of the household. I know in one instance where I found this term the "inmate" was a stepson to the head of the house. A genealogical dictionary that I have says - another person in the house such as a boarder or renter.

Two situations come to mind for the 1850 time frame. The sheriff sometimes boarded the prisoners. The head of the household collected money from the county for the care of the (indigent?) inmate. mccollumw@comcast.net wrote: > I've seen the term, too.

Bittick Forsyth, Georgia Dear Madam: Reference is made in your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of William Thompson who died in 1823 in Columbia County, Georgia. The data which follows were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, R. 10560, based upon the service of William Thompson, the only soldier of that name who applied for pension while living in Georgia that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office. William Thompson was born March 14, 1764 in Augusta County, Virginia. He applied for pension November 6, 1832, while living in Habersham County, Georgia. It was alleged that while living in Abbeville District, South Carolina, he enlisted in 1778 or 1779 and served at various times until the close of the Revolution, accounting in all to about three years, as private with the South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia troops under Captains Dunn, Robert Black, Francis Carlyle, Robert Anderson, John Harris and William Baskin, and Colonels James McCall, Elijah Clarke and John Cunningham. It was alleged that he was in the battles of Reedy Branch and Long Swamp. His claim for pension was not allowed as he failed to furnish proof of the alleged service, in accordance with the requirement of the pension law. After the Revolution William Thompson moved to Pendleton District, South Carolina, where he lived until 1811 when he moved to Franklin County, Georgia. He then lived in Habersham County, Georgia. In 1834 he moved to Cass County, Georgia. The papers in this claim contain no data relative to the soldier's family. Yery truly yours A.D.

Habersham-Fulton County GaArchives News.....Record Breaking House Will Greet College Orators at Grand Friday April 24 1902 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Denise Murphy denisemurphy13@msn.com November 23, 2004, 4:33 pm The Constitution, Atlanta, GA Record Breaking House Will Greet College Orators at Grand Friday The fifth annual contest of the Georgia State Oratorical Association, which occurs in Atlanta Friday night, is going to surpass all such events which have occurred in Atlanta in the past. It is estimated that the number of college boys and girls who will be in Atlanta the day of the contest will be away above 1,000 and the city will be literally turned over to them. Although the contest does not take place until Friday it was impossible to obtain seats at the Grant yesterday lower than the second balcony. The officials at the Grand are anticipating the record attendance for the house. However, the officers of the association have taken every precaution for controlling the crowds, and the presidents of the local associations promise that the boys will keep the best of order. Mercer thinks that she will add another to her string of four victories, and the boys from that institution are coming to Atlanta with the hope of going home victorious. Sidney Hatcher, who will represent Mercer, is said to be one of the best speakers that the college has ever turned out. The boys believe in him and will give him their enthusiastic support. Already 185 students have registered on the list of those who will attend, and it is thought that by the day of the contest this will be swelled to 250. In addition to the students from the different colleges a very large number of graduates will be in Atlanta to attend the contest. The boys who have left college within recent years have not lost interest in the contest, and many of them will be here to attend it. Altogether prospects for the contest are most favorable, and those who are chiefly interested in it are confident that it will be the most successful event in the history of the association. A feature of the contest will be the bevy of pretty college girls, whose presence always adds brilliance to the occasion and lends inspiration to the young orators. It is expected that Agnes Scott, Wesleyan, Washington seminary and Cox college, as well as other female institutions, will send large delegations. Each of the five colleges participating in the contest will be represented by sponsors. The five young men who will present their best in oratory in the battle for the Graves medal are as follows: Sidney Hatcher, of Macon, for Mercer; Alfred C. Broom, of Newnan, for Emory; Charles E. Kicklighter, of Atlanta, for the Tech; Noel W. Grant, of Clarkesville, for the North Georgia Agricultural, and Sam Johnson, of Atlanta, for the state university. Each of these speakers has proved his ability as a debater and declaimer and have been selected by their respective college with the confidence that they would come out of the fray victorious. They have all been hard at work during the past several weeks getting in trim, and will go into the contest prepared to five a feast of oratory of a brilliant degree. As in all collegiate contests, the different representatives are enthusiastic and confident. Emory has won second place in the contest twice and hopes for a better showing this year. Kicklighter represented the Tech last year, and although the school came out third, the boys were so well pleased with Kicklighters effort that he was again chosen. The Tech boys are urging their representative as a winner. The North Georgia Agricultural college has won third place for three consecutive years. The students consider that this record is becoming monotonous and they believe they have picked a leader this year, who will relieve the monotony by forging ahead of the bunch into first place. The boys from the state university are centering great hopes in their leader. They feel satisfied that the other institutions will have to score a very fine record to get ahead of the university. The arrangements for the contest have been in charge of Glenn Legwin, of the university, president of the association. President Legwin has completed all of the details and everything is in readiness. Thomas C. Trueblood, professor of oratory of the University of Michigan, will be master of ceremonies and will be introduced by President Legwin. The judges on delivery have been selected and are as follows: Professor W. P. Trent, of Columbia; Dr. Alderman, of Tulane, and Walter H. Page, editor of The Worlds Work. The judges on composition will not be made known until tomorrow night.
