Hi, My name is Lisa Taylor, I joined this mailing list a couple of days ago. My connection to Murray county, GA is that my great-great-grandfather Samuel Anderson James grew up and was married there. His father Rufus M. James may be buried there in Murray county. But I've never seen anything that said where. Samuel Anderson James shows up in the 1860 census for Murray county, GA at Springplace. He was living with his parents and sister. In the 1870 census he was also in Springplace. He was living with his wife, children, and his wife's mother and siblings. 1. Rufus Marion James was born about 1818 in Blount co., TN. He married Martha Glass, born about 1823 in TN. Their children were Samuel Anderson James, born 10 Jan. 1847 in TN, and Nancy Cassandra James born abt. 1850 in either TN or GA. 2. Samuel Anderson James, born 10 Jan. 1847 in TN, married Mary Elizabeth Mobley on 15 Dec. 1867. Their children were Rufus Hill James, Mattie James, Mittie James, Ida Cassandra James, Laura James, Sarah Virginia James, William James, John Anderson James, and Lula May Bell James. Samuel A. James was a member of the Masonic Lodge and a deacon in the Baptist church. He died 2 Mar. 1926. 3. Sarah Virginia James, was my great-grandmother, by the time she was born in 14 July 1879 Samuel A. James and family had moved to Chickalah Mountain, Yell county, AR. If anyone is interested in further details please let me know.
