I don't know about the REST of you-but I enjoy figuring out-who folks are-on here-(if possible) and how they are connected. For Instance: Friends Edna Knighton-of Shellman, Randolph, Ga and Marguerite Drane-of Marion Co Ga. Edna is the child of Joseph Knighton and Georgia McMichael- I know of no Knighton connection-but Georgia's Father and Mother are from Marion Co-Thomas Jefferson McMichael (son of Seaborn) and Mary Ann Aven (dtr of John) The Drane Connection-probably is a bit more round about-and I would say-they were JUST friends-but there is usually a relationship somewhere in the background. In this case- Georgia was raised by her Brother-in-law William Nathaniel Brown and sister Mary Jane McMichael-after her parents were drowned- Her brother-in-law was born Marion-child of George A. Brown and grandson of William M. Brown (And he and Mary Jane were married in Marion at home of his Grandfather Wm M.) William M's dtr Eugenia-married William W. Drane-a cousin of William Author-Father of Marguerite-back down the line-but I see no closer connection. Anyone else? ___________ The Rogers- a bit lower: The Marion County Patriot, No. 25 Friday, July 3, 1908 Page OneLocal News Mr. and Mrs. J.S. Rogers, of Doyle, Mr. and Mrs. T.L. Rogers and Mrs. M.B. McCrary went to Columbus Tuesday afternoon and spent Wednesday, returning home yesterday. Mr & Mrs JS is Joseph Seaborn and Jenny White-I guess=though he had another wife-also-Sara Eliz. Mauk. He is the son of Thomas Lawrence Rogers and Georgia A Rebecca McMichael- cousin of the other Ga...and child of John and Mary Jane Howe.(Brother of Seaborn) TL would be his younger brother Thomas Lawrence Jr- and I am going to suppose-M B Mccrary----a younger sister-one of 3 I di not have the spouse of???
