The new home for the Irwin county mailing list has been set up. In a few minutes, I'll send out personal invitations to the subscribers of this list who wish to join the new group will be able to do so. I can not add members directly. It should be a link you can click that will let you 'accept' the invitation to join the new group. You may need to check your spam folder as I can't say when such will be delivered. If you don't find an invitation in your email you may also go to this site - https://groups.io/g/GA-IRWIN and select Join Group. Of course, folks may still post to this list through 3/1. Tim Stowell

As of now, the Irwin county list has 46 subscribers. In light of this list closing on March 2nd, I have set up a new home for this list. In my next email, I'll send you further information regarding this and how to join the new home for this list. Tim Stowell Chattanooga

Hi everyone! Just letting you know that the lists are back up and running again so to "celebrate" our return I'm initiating a first ever Surname Shout Out. A Surname Shout Out works like a Roll Call where we all post an ancestor we're totally stumped on. Please be sure to add vital statistics like date of birth, death, marriage, etc. Happy Hunting!

Tucker married Ellender Collins(37-39 yrs old). They are listed in the 1860 Irwin Co census, 1870 & 1880 Echols Co, GA census. No children in the 1860 & 1870 census. 1880 Echols Co census there is an Elijah GRANTHAM (listed as 'nephew;) and wife Malinda (nee Johnson) living with them. Also a William, 22 yrs old, not designated as a Tucker, however, Elijah Grantham at 22 yrs is not old enough to be his father. William(14 yr) is listed as "son", but it's difficult to tell just whose son. I believe he could be a son of Davis D. & Ellen, although he is not listed with them in the 1870 census when he would have been 4 yrs old! Does anyone know who this William, b abt 1866 is? and what happened to him? Also,Who were the parents of Ellender COLLINS, b abt 1830-1832? Could she have possibly been married to a Collins before marrying Davis Tucker? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I was wondering if you have a good handle on which John Tucker was which? We have a John J. Tucker (b. 1842) married to Hester Nobles c 1865. This John Tucker being a brother to Mathew Tucker, sons of Elijah Tucker. Then we have a John Tucker (b. c 1845), a son of Benjamin Tucker who married Sarah "Serena" Hobby either 11/17/1863 and/or 3/9/1865. Since several of the Elijah Tucker children married Hobby children and the two John Tuckers in question are likely first cousins, it is likely that we have these two men confused.
