Would some one please look up the marriage of John Oxford and Mahalia Austin. It would be after 1854. Mahalia's maiden name was White. She first married Zachariah Ellis abt. 1849. Could you see if there is a record of this marriage. Mahalia second married William Austin on Sept 25 1854. Her third marriage was to John Oxford. Thanks to the marriage looker upper. HEHE Marcene

I am trying to find the marriage record for Nancy DOBBS (1815-1881) and William BARKER (b.abt 1800 d 1860-1870) They were probably married in Cobb Co or a nearby GA Co between 1835-1842 but it could have been anywhere from 1828-1859 since I cannot be sure William BARKER was not married to someone else before Nancy DOBBS. I am certain the family lived in Cobb Co from 1860-1881 but I cannot find them in the 1850 census though I think they were in or near Cobb Co. Nancy DOBBS was born in GA (Cobb Co according to her grandchild) and William BARKER was born in Maine I understand the Cobb Co records burned in the Civil War, I am in hopes that other Northwest GA counties were able to preserve their records from before the War. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks Larry Wise lwise2@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

I do not believe you will find things like this written up but you may. I remember as a child overhearing my parents talking of a lynching on the bridge in Dalton. They said a black man had raped a white woman and had been hanged from the bridge. This was probably 50 yrs ago. My mom was from Dalton and Springplace and dad from Calhoun. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert N Smith" <smithrn@juno.com> To: <GAMURRAY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 1:00 PM Subject: Re: [MURRAY] mccamy > Hello, > > A good starting point would be Fitzhugh-Brundage's "Lynching in > the New South" which has a list of Georgia lynchings derived from the > Tuskegee Institute lists, I think.

Ann K. Jones (50 NC) is in the 1850 Murray County GA census. In that census, she is living between Hiram Montgomery (54 SC) and John Davis (22 GA) and has two daughters, one Laura A. (19 GA) and the other Martha E. (16 GA). Does anyone know what Ann's spouse's name was or if there is any probate or will that names her? Thanks, Lee Anne

Good morning to you All, I wanted to let you all know about a project going on in North Georgia that is very dear to my heart. The Prater's Mill Foundation is starting the genealogy section of their Southern Appalachian Folklife Center. The plans are for this to ultimately be a museum, research library and much, much more. We are in need of Family Group Sheets or even entire family trees for the families that settled in this area including those that lived here for a while and moved on. If you have extremely old photographs of your ancestors a copy of those included with your records would be great. As it grows, we foresee this genealogy collection to be a wonderful place to research your missing ancestors in this area. If you want to have your ancestors included in this collection, please mail your Family Tree info or Family Group Sheets to: Appalachian Folklife Genealogy % The Prater's Mill Foundation P. O. Box H Varnell, Georgia 30756 Join us in making this dream come true. Send in your family history today. Thank you all in advance for your help, Paula Franklin [Volunteer] http://pratersmill.org/

Ernie are you familiar with Lecil Leonard and her son and daughter in law Peggy Leonard. They live in Chatsworth and theyve been in Murray county for ever. Dotti

thanks-have a good day

Chatsworth is the county seat of Murray County, and is located on US Highway 411 about 15 miles south of the GA/TN state line. Whitfield County is directly to the West of Murray. The Murray/Whitfield county line is probably 7 or 8 miles west of Chatsworth.

i e-mailed ga archives and have sent other requests out on the net. thank you for your help. i dont know yet if there is a connection between the mccamy jones family as of yet but will stay in touch. i am planning a trip to ga and chattanoogs very soon i will be interviewing the olderst living relatives on the mccamy side to clarify and try to obtain more info. the interseting thing is that cousin lavenia never forgot the incident which happened to mccamy-she said the family was afraid to talk about the incident in front of the children as they feared for their lives. have a good day.--where is chatsworth ga and how far is it from murray county and whitfield and chattanooga

Sorry to barge in with a tangential topic. Does anyone know if the MCCAMYs are related to the JONESes or MONTGOMERYs of Murray Co. GA?
