If not, perhaps she was one of their cousins. A member of this Bird family had lived in the GREEN household in 1870 at the Clapp Mill Village three miles north of Columbus, Muscogee, GA. and the whole family in the Village from 1843 - 1875. We may have a possibility here as one of the Bird family members was married to a Green according to a newspaper clipping. Information was incomplete as are marriage records. There was also a Jane BIRD married to an unk WALKER and they had a son thought to have been named Ray WALKER. Again, sketchy information. Rosebird

No one will be missed more than this fine old gentleman. He had all friends and no enemies. He was a clean, good man and a splendid exemplar for old and young. Dr. Pinkston retired from the active practice of his profession many years ago on account of badly impaired eyesight. Since that time he spent of his time at his drugstore in Greenville and on good days at his farms east of Greenville. He was 82 years age and until stricken was one of the most active men for his age we have ever known. His mind apparently as clear as it had ever been. He was well informed and took an intense interest in the war. He is survived by his widow who before marriage was Miss. Lila Jenkins of near Molena, Pike County; a daughter Mrs. Ruth Norman of Columbus, her four children, Frank a Major in the Army and a graduate of West Point; Lila and Ann who have responsible positions at Fort Benning in Columbus and John P. a student at Emory University; also three brothers W. L. and Arthur Pinkston of Greenville; N. D. Pinkston of Tifton; and sister Mrs. Helena McCrary of Decatur. The death of Dr. Pinkston was the first death of any of the children of his parents who were Dr. George W. Pinkston and Josephine Drewry Pinkston. He graduated in medicine from the old Atlanta Methodist college and afterwards did post graduate in New York city. The funeral was had from his residence on LaGrange street Tuesday afternoon conducted by Rev. William Greenway, former pastor of the Greenville Methodist Church, assisted by Rev. R. E. Elliott present pastor and Rev. J. H. Cowart, Baptist pastor. **December 14, 1942 is when Uncle John Wesley Pinkston passed-away** This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.6 Kb

An obit of my great, great uncle, William Harvey CROSSMAN, who died 1886 in Lumpkin, GA stated he was an "Odd Fellow". An internet search provides the following information on an "Odd Fellow" To Improve and Elevate the Character of Man In 17th century England, it was odd to find people organized for the purpose of giving aid to those in need and of pursuing projects for the benefit of all mankind. Those who belonged to such an organization were called "Odd Fellows". Odd Fellows are also known as "The Three Link Fraternity" which stands for Friendship, Love and Truth. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows was founded on the North American Continent in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 26, 1819 when Thomas Wildey and four members of the Order from England instituted Washington Lodge No. 1. This lodge received its charter from Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows in England. Odd Fellowship became the 1st national fraternity to include both men and women when it adopted the beautiful Rebekah Degree on September 20, 1851. This degree is based on the teachings found in the Holy Bible, and was written by the Honorable Schuyler Colfax who was Vice President of the United States during the period 1868-1873. Odd Fellows and Rebekahs were also the first fraternal organization to establish homes for our senior members and for orphaned children.
THE LUMPKIN INDEPENDENT - Saturday, July 10, 1886 Under Local Items Mrs. W. H. Crossman died at the home of her husband here on Monday night last after a brief illness. Her remains were interred at the Baptist Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock and were followed to their last resting place by a large number of citizens. Mrs. Crossman had long been a citizen of Lumpkin and was between fifty and sixty years of age. She leaves a husband and two children, Mr. J. S. B. Crossman and Mrs. Willis, of Columbus, to mourn her loss. Under Personal Notes Mr. J. S. B. Crossman, of Columbus, visited Lumpkin this week on the sad mission occasioned by the death of his mother. NOTE: Angy/Anzy C. MERCER married William Harvey Crossman April 17, 1853 in Lumpkin, GA. She left a daughter, Dora E./Mrs. Charles D. WILLIS and above son, J. S. B. Crossman, both of Columbus, GA. There was another daughter, Anna. R. who died between 1870 and 1880. Submitted By: Gold
LUMPKIN INDEPENDENT - Saturday, August 7, 1886 Death of Mr. W. H. CROSSMAN Mr. W. H. Crossman died at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. C. D. WILLIS, of Columbus on Tuesday night last after a lingering illness of typhoid fever. He was sick at the time his wife died, three or four weeks ago and, with the hope of bettering his condition by a change of air, he was carried to Columbus by his son. He died as above stated and his remains were carried to Lumpkin for burial, the interment taking place at the Baptist Cemetery on Thursday last at 10 o'clock a. m. Mr. Crossman was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1818 and, consequently, was 68 years of age at the time of his death. He has a brother and sister in New Jersey and leaves two children viz. Mr. J. S. B. Crossman and Mrs. C. D. Willis, of Columbus. Mr. Crossman was a quiet and upright citizen, a faithful Odd Fellow and an unpretentious Christian. During his residence of over 40 years in Lumpkin he held the confidence and esteem of many friends whose sympathies now go out to his bereaved family. NOTE: Mr. Crossman was actually born in Springfield, NJ, July 18, 1821 and baptized August 3, 1822 in the Presbyterian Church in Springfield, NJ, to William Crossman (1791?-1862) and Mary (Polly) BURNET. Mrs. C. D. Willis was Dora E. There was another daughter, Anna. R. who died between 1870 and 1880. He married Angy/Anzy C. MERCER April 17, 1853. His siblings were Edwin Augustus, Melyn/Maline Burnet, Elizabeth Roe (married Joseph McCORD) and Mary J.

from another list. kemis Tips from GENEALOGY COM....... Tips for Reading Old Records...........Wily Words Some of today's most familiar words had different meanings previously, and the change in meaning quite often occurred in words referring to social relationships. For example, the word "cousin" often meant niece or nephew; and the title "Mrs." could show high social status, not necessarily marital status. There are a few other relationship terms that you should look out for: The terms "niece" and "nephew" spring from Latin words which meant "granddaughter" and "grandson," so you may find them used in that context. When we use the words "junior" and "senior," we normally think of a father and son relationship. However, in the past, these words were used much more liberally and could refer to an uncle and nephew, or even to two people with the same name who were unrelated. The words "brother" and "sister" also were used in different ways. Members of the same church often referred to each other as brothers and sisters, and a married couple would refer to their brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law just as brothers and sisters. If you see "good brother" or "good sister," the creator of the document wasn't playing favorites. It's just another way of saying "brother-in-law" or "sister-in-law." You might also come across "good son" or "good daughter" which are "son-in-law" and "daughter-in-law." The term "in-law" can also cause problems. In the past, "in-law" relationships could be either step relationships or the regular in-law relationship that we think of today. An "infant" didn't necessarily refer to a babe-in-arms. In many cases, this meant that the person in question was a person under legal age. Misunderstanding and misinterpreting these terms can really twist the branches of your family tree, so when you're reading older records it is important to be cautious. When it is possible, verify information with other records. This is the best way to make sure that you have the correct information. In addition, look at the rest of the language in the document. The more arcane terms and spellings you find, the more careful you should be. ==== GATROUP Mailing List ==== Web page with info for this list - http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/usa/GA/troup.html ============================== Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
