Wow ! Charles, Let's be a little more cordial ,and jusst mabey we will get answerss to your question ,With Time...

Hello: The webpage is divided into a page for each book and it gives the contents that are in each volume. All books are divided into basically the same categories: A. The burials done alphabetically by churches (alphabetically listed): each man identified as CSA has listed his wife's burial (if there with him and if not, listed anyhow with pertinent information such as marriage date, her maiden name, children etc.) The man's service is identified, Co., Regt., Inf, Cavalry, State Troop etc., and some information about his service. Then if he drew a pension. Then genealogical profile of each man using census records, identifying father, mother, marriage for them, brothers and sisters and if brothers served and if so crossed back to a burial place for them if located. B. Muster rolls: all muster rolls that can be found for the county involved, Inf., State troops, militia etc. In Rabun Co. I also included all N.C. and S.C. units that had men in them from Rabun Co. C. Militia enrollments: Men between 16 and 60 who enlisted in the county militias, has age, occupation, if disqualified for service, and where born. D. Pensions (widows and veterans E. Salt lists : all wives and widows of men in service were allowed salt rations. These are done alphabetically by lists of 1863 and 1864. Many times a woman was "wife" i 1863 and "widow" in 1864. Also head of households in 1862 are listed in some books and eventually those men went into service too. F. Men who drew first pensions from loss of limbs 1883 G. a list of all burials in the county that were born between 1800 and 1850 and CANNOT be identified as having served. H. various courthouse lists according to county records, in Rabun Co. I list a list of all men "eligible for service in 1862". in Franklin Co. a Confederate Ledger transcribed (an original I might add never before printed) in many volumes letters home, in White Co. I have 52 letters home from Leander Crumley in the 52nd Ga. Regt. I have pictures of men in the Jackson Co. book. all the burials are indexed alphabetically and all the other lists are done in running alphabetical listings for ease of searching. Jackson Co. alone has over 5000 men in the muster roll section. The books are perfect binding, soft covers, and 8 1/2 x 11 pages. If you will look at the webpage again you will see each book has a page with its contents on it like I describe above and the number of listings in each section and the pages in the book etc. Then each volume on their own page has a SURNAME index for you to see names that are included in the books. More I couldn't add on the webpage due to space If I can answer any questions I will be happy to do so. Please give the webpage a look again, it is quite detailed on each book. It even gives the regiments names that are in the books for each volume. Be sure to click on each page for each book. They are done in running order on the initial page by Volume 1 through Volume 7.

Karen - I checked out this url. It appears that you are selling your book at this site. Is that correct? I've been able to locate some info. on what's in your book at your site, but no actual information. In other words, I've seen where you list soldiers last names, etc. that are in your book, but that's all - just information stating how to order your book. I'm no computer wizard and am probably missing where you can actually get information... I appreciate your patience... Thanks in advance for clarification... Many cheers!

Is there anyone old enough to remember the Serena SMITH family; they lived near abouts to Wolf Creek where she is buried with her children? There was Archelous, Herbert Lansing, Isa, Maina, Bessie, Grace Harriett, Ralph Manson, Lelah, Eugene and Bertha SMITH. Does anyone remember any one or more of these family members of the SMITH family? In the early 1920 time frame they moved into town, into Clayton and lived alongside the Railroad Trestle on the west side of the treestle. Does anyone have any information about them? Would appreciate any help, Charles. I'm about as organized as a chickenhouse full of chickens. 7 times in the Bible God has commanded us to Honor our fathers and mothers. How can we do that if we don't study to find out and know who our mothers and fathers are?

I keep trying to get your attention but nobody will answer me. So I will give you a quote from this man and if you answer me I will finish the paragraph of information for you. ""My name is Andrew Jackson WILLIAMS and I reside at Clayton, GA. I was born in Rabun Co Ga. about 1845...............""" Now do you want to hear the rest of the paragraph or not?

Hello Listers, Hope maybe someone of you have information about the following folks. My Ggreatgrandmother was Hepsey Ann TEETE, b.7 Dec 1818 SC and was married to her first husband Andrew Jackson WILLIAMS in Rabun Co. 16 Feb 1834. George Death Records show that Andrew J. Williams, born 1814 SC, died in July 1850 at age 38 and was living in Gilmer Co., GA at that time. I have been unable to learn anything more about either the Williams or Teete families. Can anyone help? Thank you. Claudine Putnam

Debbie, Thank you for your information. I see that you have been studying the Becks in NC for some time also. Are you familiar with Nell Beck Truitt research? She has been researching the Beck family in Rowan Co. for some time. According to her information that family was German. Was your John Beck of English or German origins? The Jeffrey Beck(born 1722/23 married to Lydia Phillips) who was in old Orange Co NC in the 1750-1800s was of English descent. He did have a son, John born abt. 1750. The Becks in old Orange Co(later Gilford and finally Randolph) came to NC from Bucks Co. PA by way of Augusta Co VA. Several researchers have documented Jeffreys family back to 1708 with his parents marriage in Bucks Co. The two groups did have some similar male names: Jesse, James, Abraham, George, John and William. I am interested to know if you have found a Jeffrey in the Rowan group. Please share some of the information that you have on the Rowan group. Was your family line that came through Rabun Co a Beck? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Spencer" <info@professionalheritage.com> To: <GARABUN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 03, 2004 5:49 PM Subject: Re: [GARABUN] Re: GARABUN-D Digest V04 #28 > I believe that many of the Beck's originated from one family.

I believe that many of the Beck's originated from one family. My John Beck was first located in 1777 in what was Rowan County, NC. If one were looking on a map from that time period, you would see how close things were to the old Pendleton District. Many folks who were in Western NC settled in GA. Refer to the GA Land Lotteries and you'll see the draw. Similar enticements drew settlers to that part of SC. Two of my direct lines originated in Pendleton District of SC, and eventually stopped in Rabun, Gilmer, Union and Fannin Co's of GA. There was work at the time in these areas. My research shows that the Beck families did originate in Western NC as early as 1750's. Many left for land, work, etc. Bottom line is that I do think that they are related if you go far back enough.

I don't think the Backs that were in Rabun Co. in 1850 are related to your Cynthia Beck if she came from Burke Co. NC. All of the Beck in the 1850 census originally came from Randolph Co. NC(old Orange and Gilford Co. NC). They spent a couple of decades in Pendleton District SC before coming across the river in about 1816-20. They are all descendants of Jeffrey Beck and Mary McDaniels. The Backs listed in the 1860 Census for Rabun Co. are the same group. The same is true of the 1870 Census, except for the Peter Beck #536 family.. He is listed as a mulatto. All the Backs in the 1880 census were descendants of Jeffery Beck. In the 1900 census a group of Backs moved across the Towns-Rabun line into the Lake Burton area of Rabun Co. They are listed in the Tallulah District. Their names were Henry M., Abraham, John T., and William. By their ages they would appear to be brothers (25-37). I have not been able to tie them to the Backs that were in the Warwoman and Clayton areas. They came into Towns Co. from western NC. I suspect that they came from the Dewalt Beck group from Rowan Co. NC in the late 1700s. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Franksjj@aol.com> To: <GARABUN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 2:30 PM Subject: [GARABUN] Re: GARABUN-D Digest V04 #28 > Thanks to Jean and Virginia for their replies. > > Yes, I do know the Marcus children and their descendants.

Thanks to Jean and Virginia for their replies. Yes, I do know the Marcus children and their descendants. I have census and other records of them from 1850 to the present. I tried not to be "windy", so, of course I left out pertinent information, such as the location of several Beck families in Rabun in 1850 and in Towns county in 1860. I believe these are Cynthia's brothers or other family. Perhaps the Ellis-Cynthia couple followed the Becks into Rabun, or maybe they all travelled together. Many thanks, Joyce

These were lists of pupils that "public school teachers" taught and were then paid for. We have some on-line for Upson Co for instance. Does anyone know where they might be for Rabun county? Courthouse? I found these in the County Court house in Clayton several years ago. Jean G.

I'm just going to give my "2 cents" worth of ideas -- and hopefully others will contribute as well. Since they didn't get to GA until 1845-1850 --- that eliminates all the Land Lottery searches. So why did they move to Rabun? Pursuing this line of thinking might give you some clues. Have you tried any "neighboring families".... i.e. look on both the Census in N.C. and the Census in Rabun, and see if you can find any "common names"....in-laws, etc. Usually people moved at least in small groups, or knew people from the "old county" who moved and liked the "new county". Examine how many miles the trip would have been? I'm not that familiar with Burke, NC...but that would give you some thoughts about how it was done. Trains would have been in existence by that time... Occupation -- was he listed as a farmer in Rabun? What land did he own? Do you know their children? There are probably "poor school" records for Rabun. These were lists of pupils that "public school teachers" taught and were then paid for. We have some on-line for Upson Co for instance. Does anyone know where they might be for Rabun county? Courthouse? Where were they when the Civil War started? Almost all men served in CSA somehow...and there are also Salt Lists for women who had husbands or sons serving.

Dear Virginia - You asked about people your listers are stuck on? Does anyone have information about the North Carolina history of history of Ellis Marcus and Cynthia Beck/Bick who married 18 Jul 1845 in Burke Co., NC? By 1850 (census) they are in Rabun Co. Any advice or hint will be welcome. Joyce Jones Franks
