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
