Hello, Out of curiousity, is there a record of Murray County men that fought for the Union? Also, is there documentation on why Murray County men joined the CSA when Murray County voted not to secede? Robert Smith On Sat, 28 Dec 2002 14:28:28 -0800 "Gerald D.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am looking for information on a Leander W. Crook that lived in Whitfield County but served as the company commander for Company A, 39th Georgia Infantry Regiment that was Murray County. He died in November 1862 of disease at home in Whitfield County. I am interested in any information on his family, occupation, newspaper articles, family stories, etc. Thank you for taking the time to response to my email. Please let me know if you have any questions. 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

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am looking for information on soldiers of Companies A & B, 39th Georgia Volunteer Infantry. Both of these companies were from Murray County. I am interested in any photos, family stories, letters, diaries, journals, newspaper articles (war time or post war), reminiscences, manuscripts, post-war migration, and veteran's organization association. I have the Compiled Service Records (CSR) for these soldiers on microfilm. This is the information that you get from the National Archives. I can also do look ups in the "Index to Georgia Civil War Confederate Pension Files" by Virgil White. Thank you for taking the time to response to my email. Please let me know if you have any questions. 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

Need any information possible on Sara Jane Headrick wife of Dave Black and daughter of John and Polly Headrick. Can't find any information on this family. Thanks.

Could anyone please tell me what newspapers would have covered Murray county and the 63rd Subdivision in the 1851 - 1855 time period? I am looking for a specific date in 1851 and 1853 In 1853, I am interested in a birth announcement for Leona B. Montgomery. Thanks, Lee Anne

My mother, Lethia (b. Alethia c. 1919. d. 1997) Smith, shows up in the 1930 census for Murray County, Shuck Pen Township, living with L. Raymond and Nammie (?) Smith listed as their daughter (it looks like she is listed as 11 years old). These Smiths are only in their early 20's! It seems L. Raymond is the son of landowner Taylor Smith, married to Essie. We have found this Smith family in the 1920 census in the same location, but not before. We have also found cemetery listings (Center Valley) for Taylor, Essie and a son, Roy J. and his wife. Here's the thing, my mother was an orphan in the Atlanta area . We literally have only one piece of paper to link her c. 1924 -1928, a medical examination record with no institution name. We are assuming it is from the Atlanta area because it is signed by physician Benjamin T. Beasley, whom we located in the Fulton County/Atlanta 1930 census and city directories from 1915-1928, but that's it --- no affiliation to anything. We do not know where she was in Atlanta and have no dates prior to this record or after the 1930 census until she married my Dad in 1942. She does not have a birth certificate on file (for which we have confirmation from the State of Georgia). We do have an 'Affidavit For Adding Name To Birth Record Of Child Not Named At Time Of Birth' dated 1942, filled out in my Mom's handwriting, that shows her father's name as Labon Smith and her mother's name as Frankie Berryhill Smith; with a birth date of October 28, 1919. (The word: Named has been crossed out and the word: Filed inserted on the Affidavit); it is notarized. We are/have been pursuing Labon and Frankie, but not doing too well. We do not know if the Smith family she was living with in 1930 were relatives or a name coincidence. We have, of course, heard a number of stories from our Mom over the years, but nothing to really substantiate much as far as seeking records. So, we're wondering if there are any school, adoption, foster care records for her during her time in Murray County. What can be found on the Taylor J. Smith family --- they had 6 kids (s. Carroll/Caroll b. c. 1900, s. Roy J. b. 1902, s. L. Raymond/Raymond, b. c. 1906, s. Q. John/John Q. - can't read the Q name on the census b. c. 1910, d. Esther Lois b. c. 1912, s. Fred b. c. 1917. They were landowners and died in the area! Maybe somebody in the area has knowledge of Lethia or where she came from. Many thanks for reading thru & any help you can provide.

My Great-great Grandfather James Darden was found on the 1850 Murray County Georgia census with wife Anne Simmes and children. I have never been able to find him after 1850 and am not sure if he owned land and if it was sold which would tell me when he left that county. Betty Webb

I am posting this to let everyone know who is seeking info on historic Ga. Newspapers who do not or cannot make a trip to the University of Ga. can go to their local Library and have them request copies of microfilms from UGA through the Ga. Interlibrary Loan Project. There will be a fee for this service; but it is the only way to view rolls without purchasing them. The cost to buy copies of microfilm from UGA is $28.00 per roll.

I understand at Dalton Library. Will have to research a little more. Mary

Mary, where in Dalton can you find copies of this microfilm?

What is the address for U of GA Library? I would like to borrow some microfilm of Whitfield County newspapers. Don't they have interlibrary loan? Or did you purchase the film? If you bought it, you should write and let them know they sent you a poor copy and they should replace it, I would think. Virginia Alexander

You can't see the film in order to read it. Sorry but there is not enough information to give anyone. Mary

Yes, I have a microfilm reader. The film is unreadable. Mary

Is it because you do not have a microfilm reader? If so, you can probably ask to use the one at your local library. Someone on another list once said that used ones are available on E-Bay and similar online auctions.

Can anyone tell me how to find a list of confederate civil war veterans in the John B. Gordon Camp of Confederate veterans. Did these men fill out questionaires? I am looking for information on Oscar Claiborne Goins. Thanks Mary
