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
