I just wanted to add that those searching for their ancestors in Jackson county should check neighboring counties as well. My ancestor, Thomas O'Banion, born 1780, married in Oglethorpe Co. but lived in Jackson. I also found records for him in Elbert. I have no idea why his paper trail spread into neighboring counties. I am still searching for the name of his parents. If anyone has a connection to the O'Banion, Traylor, or Wimpee families from that part of Georgia, please drop me a line. Thanks, Sherry Ledlow
