We know that the Busby`s were there in Twiggs because of Church records our John Johnson who married a Busby was in Bibb in 1824 then in Houston in the 1830`s we have researched alot of the Johnsons in Twiggs but have gotten no leads just thought I`d check and see if there were any connections.

Thanks, Joan. I did check the 1818 Twiggs County Tax Digest and did not find any Perrymans in the names I could decipher which is most of them. Good luck to you, too.

Do not know if my Baileys were near any Busbys in Twiggs County because no 1820 Twiggs census and my Baileys in Houston by 1822. Only Johnson listed in 1818 Twiggs County Tax Digest is an Asa Johnston (with a "T"). Twiggs County courthouse burned 6 February 1901 with a total loss of county records. There has been some reconstruction of these records that Ga. Arichives checked for me concerning my Baileys, but found nothing. Could find no Johnstons or Johnsons on the same page of Philip, Bryan, and Thomas Bailey in 1830 Houston census. Did a soundex check for Johnston in Houston and drew a blank. Then checked for Johnson and found 24. Could not believe Johnson would not show up on a soundex check for Johnston. Four Busbys listed in 1830 Houston census - Allen, Jeremiah, Nathan, and Jacob. None on same page with Baileys or Johnsons. Near some Johns, but no Johnston. Bryan b. 1806 so probably would not have married until about 1826. In Houston County by then. Randolph County by 1834 when he would have been 28. Had first child Quincey 1830 so probably married around 1829 at age 23 when he probably was in Houston. No record of marriage to Teresa in Houston, Randolph or any other place. Am unable to find anything on Frances Johnston before 1850 because only head of household listed in census. Keep me in mind if you run across a Teresa or derivative thereof and a Frances Johnston.

Know nothing else at this time except her parents were Charles and Nancy Johnson. I keep saying when this grandson and great grandson I keep while parents work do get back into school August 9th, I can't decide what needs doing around here the most urgently. LOL I can always close the kitchen cabinets and the door of the (used to be) extra bedroom, the closets, the storage building and the carport, but this office seems to be pulling the strongest. It frustrates me to not be able to put my hands on a piece of paper when someone asks about a particular family. Good luck with your search. Maybe someday we will find a connection between our Johnson family.

Thank you for your prompt reply. None of your names included here are familiar to me. However, I think I remember in some of my research a note that Perrymans were in Twiggs County, Georgia before moving on to Haralson County, Georgia. I have been unable to find my Marcus Perryman prior to Haralson County until I found about a year ago a record of his marriage in Fayette County. I would love to continue back with this family and keep everything I can get on Johnsons in case I ever do get a hint of a connection. I don't have much time for my own research since I got involved with my local genealogy society in 1990 and in 2000 volunteering to help prepare loose court records of our county to be microfilmed by the LDS. I know what you mean when you say not many people answer back on the Johnson-Johnston lines. There are just so many different lines of these surnames. This is one time that DNA testing will have to be the answer of connections. Good luck in your own searching. Just remember that your helping others does return to you so maybe that particular connection will happen someday.

Hi Joan, No Perryman or anything close to a Marcus or M. A. There is a G. L. Perrymon identified as the principal of Dunbar School in 1906. I note your M. A. married to Sarah Elizabeth Johnson. I have a Teresa, Theresa, Therresa, Terrisan, Clarissa, and even Lucy Johnston B. 1808 in Ga. married to Bryan (t) Bailey b. 1806 in Ga. Bryan's father Philip b. 1760-1770 found first in 1818 Twiggs County Tax Digest. In Houston County by 1822 and Randolph County by 1834. Migrated to Winn Parish, La. ca. 1857 with family. Philip's daughter Lovecey (spelled several ways) b. 1793 in NC. Can find nothing in NC on this family. Living with Bryan and Teresa was Frances Johnston b. 1814 in Ga. and she is with them in the 1860 Winn Parish, La. census. Presume she is Teresa's sister. Have no other info on this line and for some reason Johnston or Johnson researchers are not very good about responding to messages. Maybe because they get so many. Anyway. Are you related to these Johnstons?

You wrote the following concerning a Richard Dean possibly being in Houston County, Georgia: "All I can say is that Richard Dean is not listed in the First 110 Years of Houston, County, Ga., 1822-1932." I have been told that my M. A. (Marcus Arealious) Perryman (Peryman - Periman) born 1830 but place and parents unknown may have been born and raised in Houston County prior to his marriage to Sarah Elizabeth Johnson, daughter of Charles and Nancy Johnson. He died in Tennessee in 1862 after becoming ill with German measles while serving in the War Between the State. If it isn't too much trouble, would it be possible for you to check if his name and any information about him is in this book listed above or tell me where I could view the book to look for him?

Being from Sterlington, Ouachita Parish, La. which adjoins Union Parish I feel obliged to respond. All I can say is that Richard Dean is not listed in the First 110 Years of Houston, County, Ga., 1822-1932. The only Deans listed are Major, A. J., Elijah (Major), Frank, H. T., and James. Several Day listed which is a prominent name in Union Parish. If you need any information on the above let me know.

(This I'm sure about.) I have reason to believe he was from Houston Co. In 1832, a Richard Dean from Houston Co. took part in a land lottery in Union Co. in north GA. Between 1840 and 1850, the Richard Dean I know settled in Union Parish, LA. (I don't know if the irony of the two names being the same means anything or not.) He could have stopped for a while in AL before he came to LA.

Thanks Gaila ----- Original Message ----- From: Palmer Frith To: gaila@merrington.net Sent: Sunday, July 11, 2004 2:42 PM Subject: migration I am not completely sure about all this, but: my great grandfather, Richard Dean, was born in GA in 1814. (This I'm sure about.) I have reason to believe he was from Houston Co. In 1832, a Richard Dean from Houston Co. took part in a land lottery in Union Co. in north GA. Between 1840 and 1850, the Richard Dean I know settled in Union Parish, LA. (I don't know if the irony of the two names being the same means anything or not.)
