    3. Hi Y'all: I want to share that I now know Mrs. Henry C. Beaty's maiden and given name: Margaret Culbirth emigrated with Henry from Camperdown, Ireland. I went to the Root Cellar in Sacramento yesterday and found that Henry C. Beat(t)y was listed as a grand juror in 1799 (Jefferson County, GA). I found this info in Georgia Genealogical Gems: A gathering of articles previously published in the NCSQ (National Genealogical Soc., Washington, DC, 1981. I'm excerpting from pg. 51: Jefferson County, GA. Jury List, 1799 by Wm. H. Dumont Jefferson Co., GA, was formed 20 Feb. 1796 from Burke, Warren and Washington Counties. About one-third of the county was originally in Burke Co. The County seat, Louisville, was also the Capital of GA up to 1807. The business section and many homes were destroyed by fire in 1864 set by the Union Army on its march from Atlanta to Savannah. Many of the records in the Ordinary's Office escaped this fire, but those of the Clerk's Office were almost completely destroyed. One of the few books saved has the list of persons, based on the tax rolls, who were selected to serve on the grand and "petit" juries of Jefferson Coo. This first list was for 1799 while the second was for 1801, and every two years thereafter. Evidently the list was made every two years. There are three more paragraphs I won't bother to copy. However, I did want to share this gem with my Wiregrass kin. Good luck on your searches. June from No. Calif. _____________________________________________________________ Goddesspace ---> http://www.goddesspace.com
