Recently I came across an article in the old Springfield Herald, of Effingham County, Ga. The article was published on April 16, 1990. Copies also submitted to Effingham County News and ENTERPRIZE-GAZETTE. The submitter was called the "MT. PILGRIM MISSIONARY SOCIETY." Can anyone idenify this society, or the name Mt. Pilgrim? It is obvious from the text that it may well have been from a close area near Effingham Co. The article is in reference to the death of a young "Christian worker" who had recently deceased. His name was GEORGE GROVENSTEIN. A series of resolutions had been set forth and signed by three committee members. One of who I am very interested in, for reaearch purposes. HENRY GABLE, Lula Bishop, and Kate Grey. Any help or suggestions appreciated, Judy Mason 2jv@bellsouth.net

While looking through the Georgia Historical Society's publication, "Marriages in Chatham County, GA Vol. ! 1748-1852, I came across the following Screven County names. None match my lines, but I thought someone else could use the info. I am sorry that they are not in alph order. I got carried away looking up so many familiar names. If you find your name here, that is the entire listing. However, if there is a name that you would like me to look up, let me know. Cheers!

Thanks! The Lucinda Waters I am referring to was living with the family of Francis Wilson and Margaret Simmons in the 1850 Screven County Census DN 104. She married Francis Simmons. Her age is listed as 14. She married Francis Wilson after Margaret died and is listed with him in the 1860 Screven County Census, DN 302 and FN 302.

Hello Scotti and Others: Need help with Faulton (Falton,Folton, Fulton) Kemp(h). He registered for 1805 Land Lottery in Burke Co.; was in Jefferson Co. in 1808; lived and owned land in Screven Co in 1818; listed in 1820 census of Screven Co; daughter Lucy m. Warren Stokes in 1828 in Wilkinson Co.; in Dooly Co for 1830 and 1840 censuses; last found in 1843 receiving funds from estate of James Willcox of Laurens Co. How is he related to other Kemps? His wife was Elizabeth ? Thank You. Carolyn Chason

George: I show a Lucinda Waters born 1848 in my file. Daughter of Green Waters and Penelope Jan Robbins. I don't have anything on her except that she married someone named Rice. Harvey Knight HarvJK@aol.com

I found this entry in Mrs. Alvaretta Kenan Register's book, Bulloch County, Ga Genealogical Resource Material. Groom: Bride HODGES, JOHN JR. MRS. MARTHA HENDERSON Date: 14 August, 1827 Does anyone have any other information about these people? I am searching for the parents of Mr. MICHAEL HENDERSON who married JANE HARRIS GREENE in Bulloch County, GA in 1809, later moved to Screven County. His son, William Michael Henderson, (Sr.) married the daughter of JAMES YOUNG and LAVINIA JONES Young, daughter of James Jones, RS. On the 1860 Census of Screven County, GA, there is a JANE HODGES who appears in the household of WILLIAM MICHAEL HENDERSON. And seeing as how their farm was right across the Ogeechee River from the HODGES lands and William Michael Henderson, in his youth, was the overseer for his grandfather JAMES YOUNG's plantation, I wondered if there was any marriage, maybe second marriage, that would have a Mrs. Martha Henderson marrying John Hodges. Any ideas? Carole Drexel gdrexel1@airmail.net

Hi. Does anyone have any trails down to the FARR FAMILY mid 1800's-1900's in Georgia? I am searching for parents of JOHN M. FARR who married ANNIE LAURIE HENDERSON in 1891. Annie Henderson was from Screven County, GA. I have a copy of a letter that Annie Laurie Henderson's father, Captain William Michael Henderson, CSA, b. 1843 d. 1932, wrote to his fiancee, Cynthia Anne Brown of Buena Vista, Georgia, early in 1865, and he said that "MR. and MRS. FARR, Mrs. Farr being quite lively, came to visit him while his (CSA) Calvary Unit was in Augusta, Ga." So I believe that the Henderson family must have known a FARR family in Augusta, Georgia prior to 1865. And I presume that is how John M. Farr came to know Annie Laurie Henderson and marry her 25 years later in Screven County, Georgia. John and Annie (Annie died 1932 Screven County, GA and John supposedly went to Texas) ... had 3 sons: HARRY LEON FARR who married LAHLIA TAYLOR of Atlanta, GA had 2 daughters EARL FARR who moved to and lived on Long Island, New York and had a daughter Marion who moved to California CARROLL FRANKLIN FARR b. 1899 d. 1978 Bulloch County, GA, buried Screven County, Georgia, and who married MARY LEONA CLARK of Fleming, Liberty County, GA, b. 27 July 1900. Any help would be appreciated. Carole Farr Drexel gdrexel1@airmail.net

Hi. Would either of these names, SARAH HENDERSON or RICHARD MUNK look familiar to anyone? I found a marriage reference to them, m. 28 Dec. 1809, married in Bulloch County, GA, in the 'Bulloch County Ga Genealogical Resource Book' by Mrs. Alvaretta Kenan Register and just wondered... Could Sarah have been a sister to Michael Henderson who married Jane Harris Green in Bulloch County, GA in 1809? (Jane was the daughter of McKeen Green, Jr. and Elinor 'Nelly' McCall b. 1793). Nelly's father was Charles McCall, RS ancestor to many Screven County, families. In 1814, the same Michael and Jane (Green) Henderson bought the Screven County, GA property that belonged to the deceased William and Mary (Henderson)Young from William and Mary's son Willis Young.
