I am interested in the name of the one NEWTON buried in the cemetery. jill

Hi Years ago there was a church located in Woodcliff off Rocky Ford Rd and I believe it was a Methodist Church. I visited several times as a child. Dot

List Members: While we are on this Waters marriages I will try again, does anyone have anything on marriages of the following: 1860 Ada M Waters 1864 William W. Waters 1870 Margaret L. Waters 1872 Flora L. Waters 1875 Benjamin S. Waters 1878 Norton H. Waters The above are children of William Waters Jr. and May Elizabeth Warner all were living in Screven County, Ga. and listed on the 1880 Screven County, Ga. Census. Alfred

Harvey, Thanks a million for the info on Waters Family gravesites in the Little Horse Creek Cemetery. You said your mother was a Waters, my Grandmother was a Waters she married (from Screven County). b.1862. married Benjamin F. Ingram 21 Dec. 1881. Her father was William Waters Jr. b. 1836. His father was William Waters Sr. b. Scotland. He came to Savannah, Ga. lived in Savannah, Was a merchant in Savannah untill after civil War when he moved to Screven County, Ga. Where he lived untill he died. His wife was Mary Elizabeth Warner. She was b.Hartford, Conn. Came to Sav. Ga. with her parents, M. William Sr. there before they moved to Screven County. William Jr. was one of 8 children all resided in Screven county with their parents. I have been able to find info on only one other of the siblings other than my gmother and that was a sister Harriet "Hattie" Waters that m. Henry C. Williamson. I cannot find any other info on any of this family since the 1880 Screven County census. If You have anything from your Waters line that connects with them please let me know. Screven County has lots of Waters' but I have not been able to connect any of them with my line. I do have names and dates of my gmothers brothers and sisters but nothing on any marriages or info after the 1880 Screven County census. Any HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!!! Alfred

Maynard, I was just referring to the churches in the Ogeechee, Captola, and Rocky Ford area being predominantlly Baptist. On the other side of the county and down the Savannah river, there are some Methodist Churches; for instance, my church which is Buck Creek Methodist Church. There's also the First Methodist Church in Sylvania. You know, now that you mention it, there are not a lot of Methodist churches in Screven County, but MANY Baptist and Primitive Baptist Churches. This is sort of curious, as I know that the Bazemores were Methodist from very early on, and my Scotts became Methodists through this connection. I would like to hear more about this. Can anyone out there help us here? Scottie

All of these are Screven Countians, except perhaps, William Ambers (and his name was probably Andrews, as even today they are called "Anders"). Hope that this helps. Happy hunting! Scottie

I live in Effingham county and yes there are soooooo many Baptist Churches!!!! I have never taken a poll, but will almost bet that the Baptists and Lutherns outweigh the Methodists!

If you find a site with church records on it, please let me know. I'm looking for James McLellan. He was born abt 1795 in Screven Co, Ga. & by 1850 is found in Thomas Co, Ga. listed as a "PB Minister". I assume PB is Presbyterian. Jean in Pa.

Scottie Scott...... Am I picking up a correct impression that the churches in Screven were predominantly Methodist and in Effingham they were predominantly Baptist? Even if it was just "on balance"? Or is ONLY that the ones you all are talking about right now just happened to be Meth. in Screven and Bapt. in Effingham so that fakes me out? And if the above is a correct perception is it likely because Lorenzo Dow set up shop recruiting Methodists in Screven that would have otherwise remained Baptists had Dow not shown up? This implication being that Dow "missed" Effingham since he was largely working in Screven. I am led to this speculation because in my own family (which spans both counties) the ones in Screven are predominantly Methodist and the ones in Effingham are predominantly Baptist even though it is the same family. (although in fact, the Poythress crowd came to Screven from VA largely Methodists in the first place ALTHOUGH the ones in Screven are Methodists and in Effingham are largely Baptist.) Your thoughts? Best, Maynard

Hey Scotti, How about Union Methodist Church on Old River Road. It is the oldest Methodist Church in Bulloch (1790). It is mighty close to the Ogeechee River and to Screven Coutny.

Jackie, As you know, I descend from William F. Waters and Ann Hunter. I have some information on their descendants but nothing on William's ancestors. It now appears that Ann Hunter is the daughter of Ephriam and Elizabeth Hunter. PLEASE keep me on your mailing list.

Hi Jackie, The only one of the Waters marriages I can help you out with is 1858 Mary Waters m. Henry Sasser Mary Alice Waters (June 25, 1842 - August 14, 1922) married Feb. 25, 1858 Henry Sasser (May 28, 1835 - Jan 24, 1871). They are my gg grandparents. Their daughter, Alice Mary Sasser (April 4, 1869 - Oct. 20, 1943) married on Dec 23, 1886 John David Forehand (Mar 7, 1856 - July 30, 1930). This is my line, and this information is found in our family Bible, even though other sources I have seen don't list my Alice Mary as being a daughter of Mary Alice and Henry Sasser. Henry Sasser was the son of Howel Sasser Sr. and Susan A. Bell (this according to "Of One Dozen Sassers" which I understand is out of print. Info given to me by a fellow family researcher.) I have more on Henry. After Henry Sasser's death in 1871, Mary Waters Sasser married John Taylor. I have no other info on this marriage. Mary Waters Sasser Taylor (her stone says Mary Sasser Taylor) and Henry Sasser are buried at Little Horse Creek Baptist Church. I find in only one source Mary Alice Waters parents as being Henry Waters and Clarisa Parker. This is information shared with me by another researcher, without backup documentation, so I am unfortunately unable to confirm this. (Anyone that can help me with this, I would be so grateful!) Other sources don't list Mary Alice at all in the children of Henry Waters and Clarisa Parker. Her birthdate does allow for her birth between siblings Michael and John (John is, by the way, my gg grandfather on my maternal side!) Let me know if you need any clarification.
