It seems I find the middle name of a lot of men from Habersham as 'Pinkston' Can anyone tell me more about this name? Why Pinkston is used so frequently?? Was someone named Pinkston famous at the time? I find this name in my Nichols, Ivester and Anderson lines so far. Probably if I would check further, this name is the middle name of some of the men in my other lines from Georgia. I also find this middle name when doing searches. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me on this. Ruth "Found a Yankee in my Tree - Will Trade for Horse Thief or Black Sheep" Visit my homepage!
