Searching for info on Robert SAVAGE, b.Sept. 1855 in Newton Co. Georgia, married Jennie Lou Nelems July 26,1893, in Henry Co. Georgia, d. October 13,1900 in Henry Co. (five days before my Grandfather, James Robert was born). Robert was the third of seven children born to Braxton & Louisa Savage in Newton, Ga. The 1900 census of Henry Co. Ga. has his address as the Sandy Springs District. I have not found any info on his life or cause of death. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks David C. Savage dcsalvo@aol.com

In regards to my earlier post relating to James Russell of Fairfield Co. SC, Henry Co. GA. In addition to some spelling errors in my post, the website address should read: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/d/e/n/Gregory-D-Denson/index.html This is not my website. As I said, there are errors in connecting the descendants of James Russell of Fairfield Co SC to the family of James S. Russell of Gwinnett Co GA. Also, James Russell of Fairfield Co SC and his son, James Russell d. Henry Co GA, never used the middle initial "S". Many have asked the owner of this website to make corrections- it even states that my siblings and I were born in California! Wrong. Susan Beeler Anderson, San Gabriel CA.

Hi, Could anyone tell me the location of this cemetery. I found the one across from Timber Ridge Church. I think there is another one. Thanks, Pat

Hello: My great grandfather, Charles Gordon Rape (b. 09-17-1879; d. 02-25-1968) had two old group pictures which were passed down to another cousin. She recently sent me copies and we have no idea who these people are! In one of the pictures, I can pick out my great grandfather and his second wife, Effie. They married in 1913 so I am assuming that more than likely these people are all Rape family relations. This picture was made probably in the early 1920's judging by the clothes the people are wearing. However, the second picture was taken much earlier than this one and contains absolutely no one I recognize. My great grandfather's first wife was Eva Jane Spinks. Her parents were Benjamin Lewis Spinks and Emily C. Singley. The thought crossed my mind that perhaps this picture contained family members of the Spinks' or even the Singley's. Looking at the people's dress, I would say this picture was taken sometime between the 1880's and the early 1900's. The Rape family was in Henry Co., GA from the early 1820's through the present. The Spinks and Singley families were concentrated mostly in Butts Co., GA. If anyone is interested in helping me try to identify these individuals, I have scanned a copy of both pictures and will be more than happy to email them as attachments. Any help will be most appreciated! Also, does anyone know if the historical societies of Henry and/or Butts Co. have email? I wondered if perhaps someone there could help with this.

Hello Folks, Could some kind person please send me the address and telephone number (if available) of the Henry County Historical Society located in McDonough, Georgia? I appreciate any response and my thanks in advance. Carolyn

HI. Does anyone have a copy of the History of Henry Co. book who would be willing to look up some information for me? Please let me know. Thanks, Stephanie.

I am a mess today!!! correct addy... incorrect typist.. cannot use CAPS!! try www.hamrick.com/names/ another fun one is http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html This one wil give you towns, cemeteries, churches, etc. with your surname. will only give map coordinates, but you can figure them out fairly easily with a little practice and a state map. Stef

SORRY!!!!!!!! forgot the important stuff, WWW.HAMRICK.COM/NAMES/ I think that I am losing my mind sometimes, but the kids tell me it is always! Stef

This site shows a map of the US showing the distribution of people by surname within th 50 states. Sources are the 1850 census, 1880 census, 1920 census and the 1990 phone books. It uses a sampling of 1 in 100 with color to show populations of surname by state. You can see where your family was, and where they all went. :) this is a fun site to try with different names. Stef

I have recently been going through some of my aunt's albums and have pictures of people who I have no idea who they are and how they are related to my family. Thought I would post some of the names to this list and see if they ring a bell with anyone. My maternal grandparents and most of their families were in the Henry, Butts, Newton country area for most of their lives. The following is a list of those that I have- 1.Henderson Evans and wife Grizzie- I believe that she was a Cowan and the sister of my ggrandmother Elizabeth Cowan, wife of Samuel Cicero Smith of Newton Co.2. Paul Bufford as a very dressed up handsome young boy. Many pictures of Robert Mays and wife- I believe that he was the son of Laura Gray Mays, the Grays were from Butts Co and she was my ggrandmother's sister. 3. Howard Hays with Jim Cowan. 4.Mamie Turner's children. 5.Henry Mays Fletcher son of Henry Fletcher and Mary Mays Fletcher 6. The Whitaker children 7. Mrs. Dempsie Thurston and children 8. Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis- If anyone knows anything about these people, let me know- we are probably cuzzins!- Peggy in TX

Hi. Does anyone have access to census records, or know if they are on rootsweb for Henry Co? Also, is there a history of Henry Co book? I thought I saw something about one once. Okay, I have a Milton AKINS (1801-1877)and Dorinda DANIEL (1810-1893) who were married in Morgan Co, but moved to Henry Co at some point. Two of their daughters, Anna Jane b. 1834 and Martha Dorinda "Mattie" b. 1837 married TARPLEY boys - Henry Clay and William Hampton, Jr. The marriages took place in 1852 (Henry and Anna Jane) and 1854 (WH and Mattie) in Henry Co. The other children of Milton and Dorinda were Lizzie, Louisa Amanda b. 1830, Belle, Etta, and Walter. I'm looking for anything on Milton and Dorinda. Also, if anyone has anything on the TARPLEY's in Henry Co. William Hampton, Sr. may have had a will there. He would have died around 1860 maybe. Are any of these people in your family lines? Thank you in advance. Stephanie Cellucci.

I am looking for any info on these people and heir families. Ezekiel Lowe Stanley, his children Sherwood Stanley, and his children Lewis Luther Stanley, and his children Jonathon Stanley, Charles Stanley, Alice Bertha Stanley, Cooper Stanley, Clarence Stanley, Fleming Stanley, Franklyn Stanley. I am a direct descendent of This line of Stanley's and would love to find out about them in any way. This part of my family was always a big secret . My Grandmother (born a stanley) never spoke of them, and My grandfathers family disowned him when they married so I do not know much about my history. Any info on these people would go long ways toward my finding a relative who could actually tell me what the big deal was. Thanks. Stefanie Gilbert --e-mail SIIMOM@webtv.net Marland, OK

Hi: I would like to correspond and compare notes with anyone descended from or researching the Rape's, Allum's, Whitaker's, and/or Nail families in Henry Co. My gg grandfather was George Washington Rape (09/26/1833-12/1902). He was the son of Peter Rape (11/18/1790-10/18/1840) and his second wife Mary Allum (who was the daughter of Mr. Allum and Winniford ? Allum). George Washington Rape married (1) Louisa Whitaker, February 14, 1860, Henry County, GA. He married (2) Louisa Frances Nail, February 14, 1875, Henry County, GA. I believe that Louisa Frances Nail was possibly the daughter of John Nail and wife Malinda ?, but I would like to further confirm this. I don't know anything about the parents or siblings of Louisa Whitaker. Luan Harper lyh@gate.net
