Thank you for your thorough historical posting. I hope you will follow up with additional information for the period of time from the late 1700's to the mid 1800's. My gr gr gr grandmother was born about 1830 and is from Alexandria, Va. She turned up on the 1860 census in Columbus, Ga. I am trying to locate any info I can on how she wound up in Alexandria and then Columbus. Basic historical info gives a lot of incite. Thank you again. Pam
