Hi there. This pesky Henderson researcher, again. Do you know if there was any connection between NATHANIEL MILLER and a FREDERICK MILLER of NC? I'm still trying to find the connection between the COLSON family, later, with GEORGE M. HENDERSON who died in Screven County, GA, c. 1820's, and who executed a document, executed in Cedar Keys, East Providence of Florida, c. 1820's, releasing any claim which he might have had to the estate of MATTHEW COLSON, Sr., in favor of Mrs. NANCY HENDERSON, and her infant daughter, "Nelly". George obviously executed this document before his death. George might have sold his Tattnall County property to Matthew Colson, Sr. before he moved to Screven County, GA, in the 1820's. There was a Frederick Miller who was sold property, Surry County, NC, Deed Book B, page 303, 304, 29 Jan 1784, by: MICHAEL HENDERSON, gentleman, to FREDERICK MILLER, gentleman, 225 pds 600 ac called FOX KNOBS adj Moses WOODRUFF, Samuel GENTRY and John SWIMS plantations and 200 ac called DEER LICK BRANCH adj Fox Knobb tract on E (the 2 tracts surveyed for Henry SPEER about a year ago, but to be made out in name of Michael Henderson), witnesseth TRAUGOTT BAGGE and PHILIP GREEN, signed, MICHAEL HENDERSON. I would like to exchange information with anyone researching these names: MILLER, COLSON, HENDERSON, YOUNG, or even SPEER, SPEAR.

This book is about 4 inches thick and has a lot familiar names of Screven County.It was written by Claudia Chitwood Weller and she was a Sasser from Grady County.If you are in this area be sure to go by the Library.

I am searching for any information on Franklin Foster and his wife Nancy Barber Foster. This family came from Berrien County to Screven in 1850. After 1850 Franklin and Nancy are not to be found. Their younger children moved to Pierce County and I believe their oldest son William died in the Confederate War. I am looking for any information about this family as it is my dead end. Thanks for any help anyone can give. Michelle Mosley Stinchcomb
