Posted on: Lowndes Co. Ga Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Lowndes/10602 Surname: ELLIS, SMITH, HAYNES ------------------------- Nanci, I see two Shanks family groups in Lowndes 1870 census: 1. -Edwin Shanks, 30 --Froney, 30 2. David Shanks, 23, No Doss and no Bruce, Nanci. There are, however, three Brace family groups next door to George Bell. I should mention that I am not consulting the census, but a transcribed list published by the Huxford Genealogical Society.
