Candace; Do you recall if there were any for Robert Parker or just the Surname Parker?

There were none listed for PACE, KNOTT or BARTLETT families. The very few Will or Estate records that are on file prior to 1894 are those which were taken in to the Court House in Heard County after the fire and re-recorded in 1894 or 1895 or later.

Edith, I don't recall seeing the Parker surname but will check the next time I am at the FHC if they still have the films. They only keep them there for three weeks then send them back to Salt Lake City.

Candace, Thanks for the reply. I live100 miles from the closest Family Histoty Center, so I rarely get to work on microfilm, it is too hard to time everything right. I would be most appreciative if you could see if one exists for John Pace b. 1801 or Jane McDonald Pace b. 1807. They were both still alive in the 1880 Heard Census, so I'm sure they probably died there shortly after. I would really appreciate any help you may be. Thanks again, Roger M.

Roger, I have obtained copies of Will/Estate records for Heard County, Georgia through the LDS Family History Center on microfilm, since I am in Oregon and our public libraries don't have much on the southern states. I have a film for Heard Co. Wills at the Family History Center currently which will be there for few more weeks before they send it back to Salt Lake City. Who are you looking for in Heard County, Georgia for a Will record? I could look to see if anything about the person you are looking for might be on that microfilm of Heard County, GA Will records.

No, have not found out any more about the Mapp and McElroy families, a real mystery not solved yet. The biggest mystery has been to try to link the McElroy families who were in old Campbell County, GA and Randolph Co. Alabama, apparently several lines of them who I still think must have been related in some way to each other, but exactly how remains to be discovered. Have you solved the Mapp family mystery? Erin Leongomez (prob. spelled it wrong) has a MAPP and TEAL family connection in old Campbell County, GA and may know more about the Mapp family by now. I don't know if any of these were in Heard County, GA, don't think so. My Teal family did live in Heard Co. Georgia but Erin L. and I have not discovered with any documentation how her Teals and mine were related to each other, even though both lines of Teals came out of Pitt and Anson Co. NC to Georgia about the same time, both settling in old Campbell County. Many mysteries to solve. Candace
