The RAPER family is thought to have lived first in the Cedartown area. The family has a strong Cherokee oral tradition and sorting the individuals is difficult. Mary Jane RAPER married George W. HINDMAN. Dates and locations are not known but they lived on and worked a farm. She had what is described as "carrot top hair" meaning very red. Such is not conducive to Native American hair coloration but has been confirmed by several family members. Nancy Malinda RAPER, May 7, 1870, Aug 19, 1930 married William R. ROSE 1863 - Jun 6, 1915. At one time, the family lived in Rome where the Rome Tribune News Parking Lot is located. Most of the family was employed by the Rome Hosiery Mill, presently the Rome Tribune. Many Rose Families remain in the Rome. Any leads on this family will be appreciated, thank you, Rosebird

Greetings from Townsend, TN It am new to the Polk Co. list. I am researching the Donaldson family. I have been told my great grandfather, Henry Donaldson, was born in Etna, GA. I am looking for information on his parents, Susan and S. J. Donaldson. Henry was born in 1856. One thing I am particularly interested in at this time is finding a copy of the 1850 and 1860 Census showing the Donaldson family in Georgia. I have the 1870 census for Edwardsville (Cleburne Co), AL, at which time Susan is shown as head of household with 12 children living at home. The first 8 children were born in Georgia and the last 4 in Alabama. I have not been able to trace this Donaldson back past the 1870 census. The names and ages of the 12 children from the 1870 Census: Watts-24; Mary 22; Martha-18; Fleming-16; Henry-14; Frances-12; Madison-10; Leonard-8; William-6; Susnala-5; Elijah-3; Jane-1. Susan is 45 at this time. Does anyone have any information on this line? E. Russell

Hi, do you know if there are tax records for the years 1880-1888 for Polk County? If so, you know someone who could do a search in them? If there is no one available for free lookups (I would be willing to pay for costs of copying & parking), then do you know someone who would be available for a paid search?

I am looking for info on my Great Great Grandparents who lived and possibly died in Cedartown, Ga. Samuel Green was married to a woman named Matilda. They had 6 children one of whom was my Great Grandfather, George Calvin Green. These children were born 1834 through 1851. My Great Grandfather was born in 1845 My Grandfather Luther Thomas Green was born 10/20/1882 in Cedartown,Ga. It is my understanding this old town is now under a lake?? However there is now a Cedartown. Was the town relocated or is my info incorrect? If you have any info or could direct me to the proper source I would appreciate it. Bill Green [email protected]

Does anyone have Fanny or Frances Alred b abt 1854 Polk Co. Ga to Maston (sp) and Sally Alred? J.W. Carter and Fanny married about 1867 - had issues Jimmy b cir 1868 (Ga) and Josephine about 1870, plus other children later on. J.W. (possibly James) died in 1878 and is buried in Cherokee Co. AL. Would like to know parents of J.W. Carter and where this family lived the few brief years of their marriage - especially where they were in 1870 census...Fannie appears in Polk Co. Ga in 1880 census with several children - probably to be close to her family again. Thanks, Nancy

Laura Etta Sheffield married Brooks Lacy. So Lacy is the surname, not Brooks, who may be buried at Seney. Sorry Glenn

Glenn, Seney, GA is located just inside of Polk Co., across the county line from Floyd Co. It's on the old Rome road, just south of Highway 101. It's been so long since I've been there I don't remember if there is a cemetery located there. What Brooks are you researching?

Hello- I have attempted to search the Polk county records for the 1860s 1870s and found it very difficult because of the poor handwriting. Has anyone been able to decipher those records. Also, I am trying to locate the cemetery in which Hiram, who died in 1872, would be buried. Information seems to lead that his land was southwest of town. Thanks, Jane Leslie Newberry

Update on Publication of Floyd County, GA Heritage Book... The final proofing of "The Heritage of Floyd County, GA" was mailed on January 15, 2000. We are looking for a late January or very early February publication. The Floyd County Heritage Book Committee is very excited about this book...especially considering we have volunteered a lot of time over the past year and a half helping put this together for Walsworth Publications. It is a beautiful collector's edition hardbound book written by and about people of Floyd County, Georgia. It features over 500 family articles and over 300 topical stories and over 500 photographs. The color is "leaf green" with stamped gold lettering and borders with a gold outline of Floyd County, inset with the historic Clock Tower. The county and Clock Tower are enclosed within a double-ringed gold-stamped oval. Though there are many wonderful stories about people, communities, churches, schools and businesses, there are two special stories that I am glad made it in this book. Both of these deal with local landmarks that have been destroyed since we first sent all submissions in for publication. These landmarks are the old Rock Store along Kingston Highway in the Johnson School community and the 100+ year old Foster's Mill Store along Ga. 100 south of Rome. For more information about ordering or when the book will be available, please contact me at the e-mail address below. Snail-mail inquiries may be sent to the committee address. e-mail: [email protected] Snail-mail: Floyd County Heritage Book P. O. Box 6096 Rome, GA 30162 Sincerely, Tony Pope, Co-Chair Floyd County Heritage Book Committee
