Hi, I'm trying to find out more about a brother of my ancestor. Kiles Crawford BRIDGES b. 1779-1784 md. 24 October 1816 Oglethorpe,GA to Patsey W. COLBERT d. before 1835 His father's 1809 will: Nathaniel BRIDGES mentions the plantation and other lands "on which he now lives" were to go to Kiles Crawford BRIDGES and his heirs. I believe this land was in Madison County and once a part of Oglethorpe. The father of Patsey W. COLBERT, Phillip P. COLBERT left a will in Madison Co. in 1835 mentioning wife Sarah, Fanny COLBERT if living, son-in-law, Johnson SPRATLING, Son-in-law James SPRATLING. Five children of Killis C. BRIDGES, dec'd. To Lindsey G., Payton H., and Sanders W. COLBERT, Johnson SPRATLING, and James SPRATLING. Executers were Lindsey G. COLBERT and Johnson SPRATLING. Does anyone know anything about any of these families? Thank you. Sincerely, Anne S. Wise mwise@prodigy.net

For those who do not want to see this kind of message on our list, I apologise in advance. For those who sent me a personal message, forgive this generic message, but I am not sure I will stay awake long enough to send each a personal note tonight and I want to get something out to all before I crash in the bed tonight. Several folks have inquired as to how we faired in the storm, so I am sending the same basic message to all the lists that I "own" and manage as well to some of my friends and kin. I assure you that after the hurricane, I will happily delete and ignore any flames. The will be minor compared to what we just survived. We made it through that rampaging Frenchman Geroges or whatever that #*##!! things name was, and our block even has power back!!! We did not expect power for several days or weeks. Spent 3 days and nights at Civil Defense helping to man the phones coordinating the preparation and rescue efforts during the storm. The folks with kids have seen them finally understand the seriousness of hurricane damage!! No cable TV, so no MTV and worse yet, in many cases no telephones!!. Finally got back to check our place yesterday morning. Trees down but otherwise we seem to be ok. A bit of water from an old refrigerator defrosting seems to be the only water damage we have found so far. The dinette needed moping anyway and the livingroom carpet will soon dry. Every muscle I have is aching from steady tree removal since yesterday morning. Helped take 2 off neighbors homes and patch their roofs. Got the big trees out of the front yard (2 days work). Start tomorrow on the back yard.(Severa days there) We got the major limbs cleared at my sons house and patched his roof today. Overall this county came out fairley light, except for the spots where the tornadoes hit. Of course for them, it was a disaster of major proportions. Much less damage than we expected.... still millions of dollars worth. The counties to the east of us and to the north in some cases faired much worse. We were centered by the eye. Fortunately the storm drug the coastline at the mouth of the Mississippi River in Lousiana before hitting us. That took a few miles per hour off the storm and made a big difference... though Keesler AF Base about 10 miles east of us clocked 170 mph winds SUSTAINED. The Mississippi Gulf Coast lives and will be mostly back to business as usual in the next few days. Clean up man take several weeks to complete, but most of us have been through this before. Most who evacuated to the north are back checking their homes, except for several hundred who remain flooded here and many more to the east of our county. Enough of this. Thank you all for your concern. Take care. -- Tom Hammack Gulfport, Mississippi

I am looking for and children or other relatives of Roy and Bertha Adams. Roy was born in 1906 and Bertha was born in 1901 - she died several years ago, but I'm not exactly sure what year. Roy was still living in his house with his brother William when we went visit him probably about 5 years ago. William has died since then and I am not able to find out if he still lives in the same house or if he has moved out or possibly if he is deceased. I don't know what the name of the road is, but there is a large garden behind his house(with a few Chicken houses) and the family cemetary is behind there, where my Great great great Grandparents are buried(John Adams and Lucinda Pickens) and their family. There is also the old homeplace where they lived out in the pasture. If there is anyone out there that can help me, please email me privately. I was over at the old house last week and the cemetary needs to be cleaned up, because weeds have just about overtaken it and we would like to go clean it up, if possible. Thanks!!

Hello Wilkes-Madison-Oglethorpe neighbors, This is really an Elbert Co. question, but since there's no Elbert list, I thought I'd take my chances here. I have found the following Elbert Co. deed, and I'm not sure if this is "my" Solomon Bridges or a different one. Does anyone recognize the names on this deed, or have any idea where this land was located? Also, it says the land is on "the waters of Elbert"... is there an Elbert river/creek, or did the guy who recorded the deed goof?

Hi! I thought I would let y'all know that I have lots of Georgia families represented in my database at my web site for the Denton and related families. There are over 15,000 people in the database, plus a lot of other information on the site. If any of you have Dentons in your lines, I would love to hear from you! There are also some down-loadable gedcom files for families other than Denton that I have in my at-home database, such as Hunt, Moore, Plumlee, Cooper, Chastain, O'Dell, French, Shipman, Baker and Huff. All of these families intersect in some way with the Dentons, but have a great deal more information in the individual gedcoms than is on the database at the site. There is a lot of other information on the site as well that you might find interesting, as well. The address is: http://www.acun.com/dentons I hope you find something of value! Blessings!
