Posted on: Madison Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Madison/132 Surname: DUDLEY, HERRING, HOUSE, McGEE, STEPHENS ------------------------- Rebecca DUDLEY b. abt. 1833 m. Chiles McGEE b. abt. 1828. They had three children, James W., George Washington and Mary E. I have post Civil War letters from Rebecca to her sister-in-law Nancy Saphronia HOUSE DUDLEY that leads me to believe she that she is not well. She is a widow and is living on an unknown plantation. One letter states it is from Elbert County and the next one just a couple of months later states Madison County. (I believe first letter was mailed from Elbert County when someone went into town because they were Madison County residents.) Robert M. BROWN is a family friend that also lives on this plantation. I am looking for descendants of Rebecca. She was a sister to my 3rd G. Grandfather and was the daughter of James L. Dudley and his wife Mary.

Frances (Diamond) Strickland , experienced the travil of her husband, Solomon Strickland, siring a baby by her niece, brother William's daughter, Margaret (Peggy). The charge was statuary rape, indicating the girl was fourteen or younger. The charge was brought by Peggy's father, William Diamond, and Solomon Strickland was judged guilty.

He married Bethany Smith Sept 26, 1832 in Henry County, Georgia. In the census of 1850 he is farming in that county, is age 41, wife 38, and they have six children.

Posted on: Madison Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Madison/122 Surname: HOUSE DUDLEY STEPHENS HERRING ------------------------- Denise, I saw that Elizabeth was a Dudley, do you know who her parents were? Do you have a date of birth on her? I am a descendant of James L. Dudley b. abt. 1804 and his wife Mary. We have found out that they had at least 9 children. They had a child named Eliza (this gotten from census records so, it could have been Elizabeth.) They also had another child, Barnett Dudley b. abt. 1849. Maybe the Dudley's and Barnetts connected prior to the union of Elizabeth and Bee. My Dudley line resided in Madison County until after the War Between the States and then relocated to Craighead County, Arkansas. I would like to hear from you.

There is a Madison County Heritage Foundation. Charlotte Bond and Jennie Ruth Echols have been active in it for many years. You could probably write to them at Danielsville, GA and they would get it. They don't have email. Madison County is also part of the East Georgia Genealogical Society, P. O. Box 117, Winder, GA 30680 - Web site: www.rootsweb.com/~gaeggs - E-mail: gaeggs@email.com. They have a very fine publication called Georgia Settlers. Mary Love Berryman ----- Original Message ----- From: Nancy A.

Posted on: Madison Co.

My Great Great Grandfather was William C. Albright and I know he was born in Georgia probably in the 1820s or 30s. He had a son named Webster Monroe Albright who was born in Alabama on April 10, 1868. He later came to Texas, where I know the rest. But I was hoping you could help me with Albrights in Georgia. Thank you very much. Pris

Posted on: Madison Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Madison/119 Surname: Westbrook, Smith, Cromer ------------------------- I wonder why my Madison County Westbrooks changed from being Methodists to being Presbyterians. My ggpa was Jesse Glenn Westbrook, who is buried at Trinity Methodist Church near Cromer's Mill, Georgia. My gpa was Robert Johnson Westbrook, M.D., who is buried at Mt. Hermon Presbyterian Church in Ila, Georgia. His brother George Washington Westbrook, M.D., is buried conspicuously in the same cemetery. Did they switch churches because of something that happened during Reconstruction? Or was it just a matter of convenience? I'd appreciate any information or intelligent comments. Best regards, Robert Haynes Son of Sarah George Westbrook Haynes
