The name Rivers jumps out at me from this list. James Rivers married Mildred (Milly) Green 4 Oct 1827 in Jasper Co, GA. Mildred is buried at Liberty Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery, Liberty Hill, Pike Co (now Lamar Co), GA. I have no idea what happened to James. Mildred was the daughter of Thomas Green (abt 1758 - 15 Jan 1849 Liberty Hill, Pike Co, GA) and Mildred (Millie) Appling (1759 - abt 1849) - Thomas & Mildred being my husband's 5th great-grandparents. Does anyone know what the relationship is between Sarah Rivers and James Rivers? Lisa ----- Original Message ----- From: Lynn B.
