My Brileys lived there before they moved to Rusk County, TX c. 1876. I believe they probably knew the Scogin family in GA because they later intermarried twice in my line. I would be interested to know if anyone has any further information on either of these families or the Garris line, which also married Brileys.

Scogin s/o Millington s/o Alexander was the father of my Harris H. Scogin, I have found the following information: >From a local history of GA-Meriwether: Luthersville is 13 miles north of Greenville near GA-Coweta line, and is the largest town in northern GA-Meriwether (400 in 1970). In middle 1800s it was known as Keith Crossroad and was incorporated in 1872. In 1875, when the Old Holly Springs Church was moved to Moreland, a number of the members brought their letters and formed the Luthersville Baptist Church. Among these original members were Mr. & Mrs. George COLLEY, Mr. and Mrs. F. N. T. DARDEN, Mrs. John MOORE, and Mr. and Mrs. J. J. SCOGIN. Three ministers ordained in this church were John D. NORRIS, Solon B. COUSINS, and Earnest E. FRYE... I do not know if this was the James J. Scogin who m Cynthia/Sintha HARRIS. There are several known JJs to consider, but if it is the one I am trying to find, one of them will probably appear in the 1880 census there. In the same reference, there is a picture of a feed crib dating back to 1850s on the place owned by T. T. NALL. It was stated that it was moved from another pioneer Nall place southwest of Lone Oak near the Sanford Pickett Place. Margaret NALL, d/o Thomas J. NALL and Catherine A. WALLACE, married Harris H. SCOGIN in 1850 GA-Meriwether or GA-Coweta (record not found yet in CD archives). In the same reference, there is a picture of the J. H. CHAMBLESS home on the Luthersville-Rocky Mt. Road. It is on the site of the original house built by Jim SCOGGINS (born 1830), which burned. Also it was stated that later generations (early 1900s) were represented by the homes of Wesley Willingham, Will Upshaw, Lou Allen, Bob Dunlap, Jim Chambless, G. L. Colley, Professor NALL (a highly respected preacher in the county), and the the Powledge, SCOGGIN, Sibley, McKoon, Wortham, and Darden families. In the same reference, the first settlers were listed as Frank FOY, James SEWELL, Alexander SHACKLEFORD, John JORDAN, Elias PROCTOR, Jed PHILLIPS, Mordecai JOHNSON, Thornton HOLMAN, __ ROLAND, John GARNER, __ JARRELL, Marshall KEITH, Joseph STEVENS, Ki MEACHAN, Joel WOOTEN, J.
