Hi, hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season and we are all going to have a healthy and happy new year. Do join me in saying prayers for June Harper and her husband who is very seriously ill. June has been with the Ben Hill and Irwin County Mail List since each were first created and has always been there for everyone who needed lookups and information. We love you June. We have a few new members who have joined the older ones who have been with the list since the beginning. Please reply direct to introduce yourself and let others know what surnames that your researching so we can all get acquainted with our newest members. I was in Ben Hill and Irwin County in December and had a wonderful time giving a genealogy seminar in Fitzgerald and a presentation at the museum. Each had a wonderful turn out and we had a great time at both events. During my stay in Georgia I was on two talk television shows promoting genealogy and Fitzgerald's museum and library. As some of you know Fitzgerald is my home town and I was born in Irwin County which is about only about fifteen minutes from downtown Fitzgerald. My ancestors were some of the first settlers in each of those counties and most of us on the Ben Hill and Irwin County mail lists are related through at least one or more lines. Some of us are working on establishing a Genealogical and Historical Society in Fitzgerald that would house a research library and repository for old documents and family papers. This Society would cover both counties in fact would cover that part of Georgia since so many of the early settlers had ties to Telfair, Dodge, Dooly, Pulaski, Wilcox, Berrien and Coffee Counties. During the past year I donated three boxes of genealogy books and two boxes of fiche to the Library to be added to the genealogy room. At present the materials are being cataloged into the library. If anyone has any genealogy books, films, fiche that you would want to donate in memory of a family or family member don't hesitate to do it in your lifetime and not wait. Make sure that your family documents and heirlooms don't end up in a thrift shop of even worse in a garbage can someday. That does happen all too often and I personally felt that my Great Grandparents and Grandparents would want the Museum in Fitzgerald to have the Railroad Documents, Employee's Rule Book, Some china, Early Newspaper's Employee's belongings, and other items that has a provenance with the City of Fitzgerald. There are some historic buildings in the area that are being considered for a location. As soon as I have more information about the project I'll announce it on this list so that everyone will know what news is coming. Fitzgerald is a great location for a genealogical and historical research facility. For those of you who are in Georgia I hope to see you this spring when I make another trip up that way. As soon as I know the dates I'll let you know so we can arrange a get together. In the meantime have a great New Year.

Hi Lena, I've been looking into your Margaret Roberts and I think that I have found her husband. I don't know who his parents were, but I'm sure this is Margaret's husband. I hope that you can follow this. I noticed on the 1850 Irwin census and the 1860 Coffee census that Margaret was living just two households down from Thomas Paulk. The part of Irwin that Margaret was living in became part of Coffee in 1856, so she didn't move. I also noticed that that most of the children were born before 1840, so I checked the 1840 Irwin Co., GA census. I found a John Roberts living next door to the same Thomas Paulk. This is most likely Margaret's husband. I checked Margaret's children against the children listed in John's household and found that they matched, with the exception of Georgia Ann and an unknown male child on the 1840 census. Georgia Ann is listed last with younger children listed before her. This usually indicates that the person is related to the head of household, but not a child of the head of household. In John's household on the 1840, there is a male child under the age of 5 listed. This child does not appear in Margaret's household. He may have died young or was a relative temporarily living in John's household. At any rate, he isn't listed in Margaret's household on the 1850. I hope this helps. Take care.

Is anyone researching the Bailey family of Irwin County? My Fifth Great Grandparents are Burrell (among other spellings) Henry & Polly LAND Bailey. Burrell is said to have been born 1790 (not sure of the exact birth year) & died in 1845. Their children were Cullen Dean, Oliver Harmon, **Winford (among other spellings) Harrison, Aurelius, & Hamilton. Thank You, Lena __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi Lena, In looking at the censuses you mention, I'm finding a few things that may be more than coincidence. On the 1850 Irwin Co., GA census, Margaret is living next door to Daniel M. Grantham. His wife was Martha Mariah Roberts, daughter of Gray Stock Roberts and Sarah Ann Lott Roberts. Daniel and Martha are my gg-grandparents. On the 1860 Coffee Co., GA census, Margaret is living two households down from John Moore. His wife was Barbara Roberts, also daughter of Gray Stock and Sarah. Living directly between Barbara Roberts Moore and Margaret Moore is G. W. Roberts, most likely Margaret's son, George, judging by the age. According to the birthyear that you gave for George, he would have been 28 years old in 1860. This G. W. Roberts is age 28 on this census. On the 1870, Margaret appears on the same page as Sally Roberts. This Sally Roberts is Sarah Henderson Roberts, widow of John Roberts, son of Gray Stock and Sarah Lott Roberts. Although, she does appear 6 households down from Sally. There is also another Sarah Roberts two households up from Margaret, I'm not sure who she is. I didn't find any Roberts' families living near Margaret on the 1880. I also don't think that its coincidence that she is living near three of Gray Stock Roberts' children on the first three censuses. I'm not sure who Margaret is, but I do know that Judge Folks Huxford reported in his notes that Gray Stock Roberts had a brother born in 1792, one year before Gray Stock, named Charles Roberts. Little is known about Charles, only Judge Huxford's mention of him. I'm wondering if perhaps Margaret may be his widow. I realize that Charles would have been about 12 years older than Margaret, but that means little. I would like to discuss this with you further. Maybe we can figure out who Margaret is. Please email me at landlisa@bellsouth.net. Take care.

Gloria, Dia duit & thank you for your history lesson on the Futch family & advice! I knew the Greiner/Griner were Salzburg-Palentine's, but the thought of the Futch family being the same had not crossed my mind. Hope this is not rude of me, but is there a book in print you would recommend on the Palentine people? This maybe a long shot, but is there any connection between Futch & Fulcher? My G4Grandfather on Dad's Mom's side of the family is William Fulcher Chewning & I have thought for a while that Fulcher could be William's Mom maiden name & that the two sound a little similar to an untrained ear. Happy Thanksgiving, Lena Go Dawgs! Sic 'Em! Woof, Woof, Woof! SEC East Champs --------------------------------- Yahoo! FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.

Lena, the Futch family was a very large group that came into Georgia from South Carolina and prior to that from North Carolina into South Carolina. Quote from "North Carolina Palatine-Germans", Futch Family, written and compiled by Evelyn Futch Smith, (no publish date included with the notes furnished me by Ann Futch of Ocala, Florida), Page 8, The story of our people began about the time of Charles the Great (742-814 A.D.). They were neighter French or German for at that time there were no such people. Charles the Great was considered to be the father of German, French and Italian history. (There is much more about this early history of this section of the world and the changes that took place.) Our ancestors were in the Lorraine area of France and due to the existing problems in that area they left and made their way down the Rhine to that part of German known as Rhempflay, on the Palatinate between the Rhine River and the present border of German and France, west to Mannheim and east of the Saar region. While in that atrea they intermarried with the Germans and became Germanized even to the spelling of the name Futsch. From this point forward they went to Holland and then to America. Our first record of Futch in North Carolina was Jacob since he was a signer of petitions and asking the right to own land, it is safe to assume that he was a member of Baron de Graffenried's Palatine colony. Jacob's wife's name was Margaretha and they had at least six sons and an unknown number of daughters. One of those was Martin Futch born before 1716 in North Carolina and died before April 18, 1767 in Craven County, North Carolina. The Futch line gets very confusing at times because most of those who came into Georgia say their ancestor was an Onesimus Futch. Well and good but there were quite a few Onesimus Futch's. My own goes back to Jennings Fleetwood Futch and his brother David Futch of Barnwell County, South Carolina in the Old Orangeburg District. These two men may have been the sons of a Reuben Futch and the Grandson's of Saray E. B. Futch widow of Jacob Blunt Futch. You might check the Irwin County deeds for the first land record that your William Futch recorded in that county and see what former county is mentioned for him. Then do the same thing with searching the earliest land record in that county to learn the name of his former county or the former state and county. Trace him back in time with using these land records and use the census records for clues and a backup to the data you find in land and court records. Best of luck to you, Kind Regards, Gloria --- JRA <janie_reb_aingeal@yahoo.com> wrote: > My G2Aunt Agnes Virginia GRINER, sister of my > Great-Grandfather Ernest C.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Tc.2ADI/817.2 Message Board Post: There are two Gertrude Rings on the 1920 Ga Census index: 1920 Irwin Cty Ga; Old Fifth; dist 100 49 50 Ring, Lusious, F, 44, Ga/Ga/Maine Lula, wife, 31 Ga/Ga/Ga Cora, dau 15 Wilbert, son 13 Susie, dau 11 Gertrude, dau 9 Royce, son, 7 Henry, son 5 Bertha, dau 2 1920 Ben Hill; Fitzgerald Ward 2, dist 7 127 176 Ring, J W, 45, NC/NH/NH Mamie, wife 38, Ga/GA/Ga Willie, son 16 Henry, son 13 Walter, son 10 Gertrude 8 Fred, son 2 Luther, son 4/12 If Gertrude did married in 1926, the Irwin County one may not be her as she is listed as single, age 20, and is still living with parents on the 1930 census; but a grandson Raymond is listed: 215 219 Ring, Lucious 53, first married at age 22; NC/NC/NC Perl, 43, wife, first married at age 42; NC/Ga/GA Dilbert, son 22 Susie, dau 21 Gertrude, dau 20 Royce, son 17 Bertha, dau 12 Roscoe, son 9 Aubrey, son 7 Robert, son 4 Lucile, dau 3 Wilmer???r, dau 2 Raymond, grandson, 2, GA/GA/GA All the children list father born NC; mother born NC 1920 Irwin County; Ocilla, Archie Lisenby age 22, single born Ga; dry goods salesman listed as boarder in what looks like a boarding house because of all the entries with different surnames. He may be the Daniel A Lisenby, born Dec 1897, son of John and Carrie Lisenby on the 1900 Irwin Census. There are several marriages for Lisenby(s) at the Irwin Genealogy website and several listed on the various Irwin census, so Lisenby must be the correct spelling for that surname. But could the marriage records posted have a transcription error and the Archie Lindsey listed as married to Gerturde Ring actually be Archie Linseby? You would need to see the actual record to verify the spelling. Archie Lindsey to Gertrude Ring, July 9, 1924 Gertrude Ring to J E Rainey, Dec 11, 1907 [Joe and Gertude Rainey listed as Mulattos on 1920 Irwin census] J W Ring to Mamie Wray, Oct 11, 1902 John Ring to Julie Chanie, Feb 25, 1912 L F Ring to Minnie Swett, May 7,1899 Lucius F to Pearl Troup, July 31, 1929 Cora Ring married H N Blanchord Oct 7, 1922 Susie Ring to W E Grover Sept 2, 1931 Mahala Ring to D M C Harper, April 13, 1905 J L J Ring to John J Harper, May 14, 1905 Gertrude Rainey married Everett Anderson Sept 22 1952 Jerry Rainey married Lola Mae Gibson, March 28, 1922 I couldn't find a Gertrude married to Archie Lindsey on the 1930 census; several Gertrude Lindseys, but all were Black. Archie Lindseys on 1930 Ga Census: Archie W Lindsey, age 26, married, first married at age 22,son of Wm and Phoebie J Lindsey. He is listed as married but no wife in household. He is still in parents home in Colquitt Cty. An Archie Lindsey, age 18 in Fulton County; One in Wilkes County; age 32, with wife Lillian, age 30 and 3 children oldest 15. One family tree posted on the internet has an Archie Lisenby born Dec 14, 1897 to Carrie and John Lisenby in Irwin. Hope you can use some of this. Bernice
