According to this, Bluett & his second wife Margaret moved to Crawford Co. sometime after the 1880 census. > > from Mary Crawford Bryan's letter 1943 > "Winnifred married Bluwitt McCarty & they lived quite near each other (the families I mean). > > Elisabeth McCarty was my father's age & my mother said very much in love with him. She had marvellous golden hair. She married a man named Reynolds & raised a large family. > > Emily married a man named Winn. He overseeing for my father, at that time & the two of them ran away to get married. {Don't think so, John Langston Bryan signed the marriage certificate} > > Rebecca married Chester Allen, who died leaving only one child Chester Allen, Jr. She later married again & there were other children. > > Eliza who was known as "Dinkie" was the youngest of the girls married, but I forget whom. > > Little was the oldest of the children that I knew. His those of the older McCarty boys are buried in the cemetery at home (sic). > > Greene died before the war, William and Madison died in battle & are buried side by side, but not near Greenes grave. Their bodies were brought home from the battlefield. > > Pink younger than Little married one Mollie Evans & lived in Dooly Co. He was a frequent visitor at our house & Cousin Mollie was a great friend of my mother's. > > Then there were Stuart, Monty & Phillip. The last named was only a few years older than I. His mother died in giving birth to her next child, who also died, but was buried (mother & child) in the McCarty garden. As at that time Blewitt & Nathan had fallen out. That started the graveyard over there. > > Little McCarty married Hattie Clark of Clarks Mills Crawford Co. Later Uncle John married Hattie's sister, Myra Clark & Stewart married a third Clark girl Carrie. If I remember aright, both Philip & Monty (I think his name was Freemont) died unmarried. > > After Aunt Winnie's death, her husband married Margaret Bowman. Little & his father sold out to Major Neal & moved to Crawford Co. when I was about ten, but I often visited Uncle Blewett & Aunt Margaret who made me feel most welcome. Philip, Bert & I were the best of friends & Philip took care of his step mother, as long as she lived." > . > > > This is an automatically-generated notice. > > <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/MaconObits?admin> > >
