Hello Dorothy, I don't know the answer to your question as my research begins around 1914. Someone with the Murray Co. Heritage book might know. I'm looking for some Cox's too but without much luck. I'm especially interested in Chatsworth policeman Willie Lee Cox and a Colvard Cox both from the 1920s. Sorry I couldn't help more, Robert Smith On Fri, 26 Oct 2001 12:34:25 EDT DEC1019@aol.com writes: >Robert > >Who was the owner and or editor of the Chatsworth Times in the 1890s. > >Looking for Cox. > >Dorothy Cox > > >==== GAMURRAY Mailing List ==== >--- Author Retains Copyright --- >-- Copyright 2001 Author -- All Rights Reserved >Post to List: GAMURRAY-L@rootsweb.com http://www.selfroots.com >Unsubscribe request To: GAMURRAY-L-request@rootsweb.com >ARCHIVES: http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl > ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Hello, I'll see what I can find out on Monday if I get the time. I will put it on my list of things to do though.

Robert Who was the owner and or editor of the Chatsworth Times in the 1890s. Looking for Cox. Dorothy Cox
Robert: Is there any Newspapers in the Murray Co. area before 1890? Is there listing of anything before that date? Appreciate the time and effort. Jim H.
There was also a newspaper in Chatsworth, Murray Co., called Murray Herald. I'm not sure of the dates but was there in the 1940's.
William H. Wilson fought in 22 Ga Inf Regt Company D, and Robert E.Wilson and Samuel Wilson were officers in the 3d Battn of Ga State Troops, Company B. Both units were Murray County units. Perhaps these are relatives and can provide new info. The 1864 Military Census of Ga. only lists those men who were not already in the military. Dave Bright

Hello, The UGA newspaper collection has three Murray Co. newspapers on film. The Jimplecute from 1890 to about 1903; the Murray News from 1903 to the end of 1913; and the Chatsworth Times from 1914 on. There are gaps in most of the early coverage. I hope this helps, Robert Smith ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

I'm looking for information the Wilson family, who lived in Murray County from roughly the mid- to late 1800s. Hello: I'd be most grateful even for suggestions on how to continue my search-especially about checking the 1864 Georgia Military Roster, on which my g-g-grandfather and perhaps a few of his children SHOULD have appeared. In any case, here's the information I have so far: Edward (Edd) Wilson, my great-great grandfather: He was born somewhere in North Carolina in 1827. According to his death certificate his father's name was William, and his mother's maiden name was Rowland, possibly Roland. Edward married Elizabeth Burlinson (or Burleson or Burlesson), who was born somewhere in South Carolina in 1828 of English and Irish parents. They were married--I don't know where or when--and raised a family in Murray County, Georgia. Here are their children (all, as far as I know, born in Murray County): Mary Rebecca, born October 1849 Nancy Jane, born June 1850 Susan Elmira, born February 1852 Alvira Elizabeth, born January 1854 William, born December 1856 Martha Lucinda, born February 1858 John W., born April 1859 George Edward (my great grandfather), born March 17th 1861; a hand-written note from my grandfather lists his birthplace as Dalton, Georgia Harriet E., born May 1864 Isaac L., born May 1867 According to family history, Edward fought for the South, then walked to Bell County, Texas, after the war to rejoin his family, whom he'd sent ahead. My grandfather told me that Edward was captured by the Union and spent the remainder of the war in a Union prison camp. So far we've been unable to find any record of his war service. >From old letters I've discovered that Edward apparently had at least one brother, George, a Baptist minister, who turned up in Bell County with his family after the war, lived there briefly, and moved to Kansas. Edward, his wife, and a number of other family members are buried in Moffat Cemetery in Moffat, Texas. I know, too, that some of Edward and Elizabeth's descendants were Boatwrights. As I said, I'd be very, very grateful for any information or suggestions anyone might care to offer. Thanks, Wayne Wilson
