I am also researching the Wetzel family. I have only gotten to the 1860, they probably came to Murray Co., GA from Gilmer/Fannin Co. GA. Before that they were in Buncombe/Henderson/Transylvania Co., NC. I will share what ever I find connects with your, if you can send me the census records of your Wetzels there in Murray Co., GA. I just got back from the Library yesterday and it will take me a few days to organize my Wetzel. There were a Jacob & Margaret 'Summey' Wetzel that moved into Buncombe Co., NC in 1802. They had a large family, but only three sons so far as I know. The sons were Henry, John, & Jacob Wetzel. I hear that Jacob Wetzel died before 1850 in Murray Co., GA. Henry Wetzel died before his father Jacob Wetzel Sr died, that was in the early 1820s. His wife married again to a John Thomas. They remained in Gilmer/Fannin Co., GA. I am not too sure about John Wetzel right now. Hope this helps. Keep in touch with me please, Wylene

P.S. I was in Dalton, Ga. two weeks ago, and they have the battle flag of the 39th regiment at the Walton/Murray county Historical Society Jan. You can see it by appointment only. Also, they have all the pertinent books.

Please check in the book: Roster of the Confederate Soldiers of Georgia 1861-1865. My gg/grandfather was in the 39th reg. I co. I checked and Wetzel was not in I company, but there are many other companies, and I only copied the one my gg/grandfather was in. Good luck. Jan Newman

Am researching the family of Eli Wetzel who was in Murray Co. in the 1840's and on. His wife was the daughter of Julius Bates of that county. We are trying to connect a Julius Wetzel to this family. One of Eli's sons was Watson Wetzel in the 39th GA Infantry from Murray Co. Several sources say that Eli was in Murray Co. in the 1840 thru 1880's however, I have only been able to find him in the 1870 census living with his son Watson. Does anyone have any record of the family in 1850 and 1860? My hope is that in one of those censuses there will be a son, Julius, listed. Thanks, Paul R.L. Vance

Hi List, Does anyone in Murray County Georgia have access to the 1880 census? I am looking for John H O’Neill, James Whitamore. I have two versions of the 1880 census. >From the Murray Co. History Vol. 2 Census #279/89 John H O’O'Neill age 72 Mary D. age 48 Elizabeth Keith age 30 Edward Keith Next door: Census # 280/90 James Whitamore age 74 Madeline Whitamore age 72 John Keith (grandson) age 16 I believe this James Whitamore is the Father of Mary D. O’Neill wife of John H. and possibly Elizabeth is a Whitamore who married a Keith and the sister of Mary D. >From the Murray County List John H. O’O'Neill age 72 Mary D age 48 John H. O’O'Neill son age 16 James M. O’O'Neill son age 11 Elisabeth Keith age 30 Edward Keith age 4 On this version Elisabeth and Edward shown as black If any one can help me find the correct version I would certainly appreciate it.

If I could I would like to make one small correction just in case anyone wants to contact them but the <<"battle flag of the 39th regiment at the Walton/Murray county Historical Society ">> should be Whitfield-Murray County Historical Society. They are on Chattanooga Avenue in Dalton, GA and their phone number is 706-278-0217. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Dustbunnies90@aol.com> To: <GAMURRAY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 17, 2002 7:46 AM Subject: Re: [MURRAY] Wetzel family of Murray Co. > P.S.
