There are no McElrath's in Murray Co in 1860 or 1870. I searched Hertage Quest by first names for James, Jas, and J. and found no unusual spellings that fit. There is a J. J. McElrath in 1860 in Gordon Co that is 23 years old born in SC, but different wife and kids than you listed. What year was he born and in what state. Maybe that could help find them.

I would like to ask if anyone would be kind enough to do a look-up for me. I am fairly certain that James McElrath and his wife (either Catherine or Candis) and children (William, Hiram, John B.) were in Murray County in 1860 and 1870. I am subscribed to Ancestry.com, but they are not even on the 1850 census index there, yet I have found them myself (p. 293A) there. If anyone has access to a more accurate index for 1860 and/or 1870 than the one at Ancestry, would he/she be willing to look them up and give me the page number where I can find them? I would appreciate it so very much! Thanks, Jayme Berry

If there is an index to 1800s newspaper obituaries, could someone please check to see what male Jones deaths occurred between 1840 and 1850? His eldest child in the 1850 census was born in GA. His wife was Ann K. Jones (50; NC). She and two daughters [Laura A. (19, GA) and Martha E. (16, GA)] are in the 1850 Murray County GA census. They are living between Hiram Montgomery and John Davis. With her are two daughters, the eldest of which is 19. Both were born in GA. Lee Anne

There is an 1860 index for both Murray and Whitfield, but I find no Robert. However, there is a W.R. Long in 1860 Whitfield , family number 467. I only have the index, which the Historical Society published some years ago. Virginia Alexander

Hi, I sure do appreciate the time you took to respond. I'm trying to connect William as the son of Robert and Mahaly and can't find any census for them.

Some of the Family History Librarys at the LDS churches have bound index books. Not all for all states though. Might pay to check your local ones. They would get you to the possibly right counties at least.

I looked it up in the 1850 census in Ancestry.com, and the only Robert Long I found was in Coweta County, District 19, Robert L. Z. Long, age 30, a physician, born in Tennessee. He was married within the year. There was a William R. Long in Murray County, District 63, age 25, farmer, born in Texas. Looks like he is single. Page 160 That's all I found. I guess Georgia isn't indexed in the 1860 Ancestry database.

My Suttles family is marked on the map, any idea of how to find the farm? I will be coming to Murray County in June and would like to locate the farm. I found the Suttles family listed on the 1860 Murray County Census at the Fancy Hill Post Office-does this community still exist? By the 1870 census they had moved to Livingston Co.

They were married in Lumpkin Co. GA 6 Oct 1844. He was born abt 1824 in SC and she abt 1827 in TN. I would appreciate any help.

I would also like to ask if there is a family of Hegwood's on this map. They were on the 1850 census, mother Elizabeth, children James Monroe, Elender, William R, Clarissa, Mary ann, and Joseph P. Hegwood. Can't find this family after the 1850 census, the son James Monroe was in Mitchell Co, Ga in 1860. Thanks for looking Dot Miller Jmiller789@aol.com

Can anyone out there provide the date of the marriage between Mary A. Freeman and John Gordon. That marriage probably occurred in what is now Whitfield County around 1845. I have been unable to locate the marriage on any of the Murray, Walker or Whitfield marriage listings I have found; however, I'm not sure they are complete. Jim Galey

Ladies and Gentlemen, The "Official Military Atlas of the Civil War" is available at many libraries and is a useful tool in research. Their two maps mentioned are pretty good but the level of detail will not really supply the level of detail of finding individual houses unless the house still exists or it was near a natural of man-made terrain feature that still exist and you can orient from. You can find the book at the Chattanooga Public Library and I think the Dalton Public Library. The book is meant to be the companion volume of maps to the "Official Records of the War of the Rebellion." I hope this helps. Respectfully, Gerald D. Hodge, Jr. Niota, Tennessee War Between the States Historian Historian: 39th Georgia Infantry Regiment Web Master: http://39thGAVOLINFRGT.homestead.com/39thHomepage.html

I am looking for information on John H Boatright and his sister Elizabeth. They were found in the 1850 Murray Co Census living with John H Butler and Elizabeth (Boatright) Butler. In the 1860 Census they were in Whitfield Co living with Thomas A Tye, Rebecca Tye and Sarah J Tye. I have not been able to find any other information on the Butler's or his sister Elizabeth Boatright. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
