Martha Johnson married a second time. After Archibald died, she remarried Berry Royal, son of Arthur Royal. The census records show Berry, Martha Ann, the Herrington children and several Royal children in their household. I apologize for not providing my dates and resources at this time, bu dinner is almost ready!! Happy to share more details if anyone is in need of this material. Another descendant of this group on the Herrington/Johnson line may also more on the Herringtons, who are well documented in the records of Burke County. Try Sherry and Tara Dortch (mother and daughter team!) at THNK1@aol.com Judy Rountree Mason 2jv@bellsouth.net Great-great grandaughter of Berry Royal and Martha ann Johnson. James Crawford Royal was their son. He married Leila Mina Griffin.

Deborah: Sounds like a great idea. It may have some flaws that would show up later, but I feel any of these could be solved. Alfred

Hello Scotti, You were kind to respond to my queston regarding the Statesboro Library off the Screven Cty GA list. My plans have changed and I am not able to visit that library this month as I previously planned. So my research from there will have to wait a little longer. I was wondering do you have a wife's name and dates on Elijah Roberts? I wonder if he could be the same as my Eli. You mentioned going to Elijah's cemetery. Since you live near by, I wondered if you are familiar with the Old Union Grove Church cemetery that is on Hwy 21 in Herndon, GA (between Herndon and Midville). Across from William Schley Robert's farm and store (at bottom of hill). It is a very old, broken down cemetery in very poor condition. It is inside an old iron fenced in area - but the fence had been rolled away and weeds had grown up in side the area. There is a big old 2-story farm house across the street from it. My father and mother, Eugene and Betty Roberts, went there about 10-15 years ago with John Spence. That is the grave of my gg grandfather Daniel Roberts and his wife Cassanne Hall Roberts. If you are familiar with this cemetery, do you know of any one related to these Roberts? Who is related to the others in this family plot, would most likely be related to me. The markers that were there were: Daniel W. Roberts Eli Roberts John A. Spence 12-15-1824 - 1837 Sarah Spence B-1820 William Schley Roberts 8-15-1850 - 9-15-1889 Dora Farrow couldn't read dates JW Farrow couldn't read dates Lit son of Elisha and Sally Watkins 1-26-1872 - 4-12-1906 John G. son of GW & Adeline Sherrod 1887 H.W.G. son of GW & Adeline Sherrod 1887-1890 In a different msg, you mentioned that when you were teaching at ECI, you learned the Roberts from Emanuel Cty were orginally from Screven. This was John and Henry Roberts, and they were related to the Oglesby family. Well, my Roberts are also related to Oglesby. William Schley Roberts, 1850-1889, married Mary Ann Oglesby, b1848. Her parents were James O. Jr b1814 and Caroline (last name unknown) Also Sarah Roberts married Woodrow Oglesby in the early 1900's. I have several Og. that married into other families that were connected to my Roberts line. I wonder if this is getting close to a family connection! Anyway, I would like to know more about this John and Henry Roberts. I have often wondered (and had some document that led me to believe, but not prove) that one of my early lines was named John Roberts from Screven Cty. Do you have any suggestions on where I can learn more about him and try to connect my lines with his? Thank you for any help you can offer. Cathy Roberts Pierce pierce@cftnet.com

She was widowed by 1900 and had a considerable amount of land and had some land transactions in Screven County (would love for anyone to look and see what else they could find as I'm in NC and don't get home as often as I'd like). If there's any information I would greatly appreciate it. I'm at a total loss. Please advise as I can't find too much more on her besides the Census, a will, and some land records. Thanks, Vrtreena R. Jenkins >> I don't know if this will help or not, but there was a HERRINGTON family in old Barnwell Dist, SC.

Hi All, hope ya'll are having a good slide down to the weekend. Got a question for you. One of the list memebers sent in a idea for sharing the names you are researching and that started me pondering what would be the easiest for me to track the combination of list members and names. I have come up with an idea. How would you guys feel about a section on the Genweb page which lists your email address and the surnames and the years that you are searching in Screven County? I would update it twice yearly. Deborah Byrd

This is to Al: last night when I was posting the my Screven County 1860 John Cameron/Mary Ann Young Henderson Cameron/William Michael Henderson/Jane Hodges census info, the last name that I came upon in John Cameron's household was JEREMIAH J. USHER, age 24, m, overseer, born in Georgia. I have been wondering who was his family and if he might be of some relation to the Hendersons or Camerons. William Michael Henderson (Jr) was the overseer across the Ogeechee River at his grandfather, James Young, Sr.'s plantation but James died in, can't remember the exact date, c. 1850ish. So I just wondered, since it seemed to be the custom for families with unmarried males of age to work for their older, more successful relations until they become seasoned themselves to go back and run their father's, etc. Any clues who Mr. Usher is?

Hi list. Please pardon my prior listing of just names. I am on so many lists it is hard to remember whose rules are which. This time I will follow correctly. All these folks ended up living in Screven County generally from 1780 to 1980, are ancestors for many of the present day descendants, and mentioned in my deceased cousin Dixon Hollingsworth's book, The History of Screven County, GA. I was born at Millhaven Plantation in Screven County and grew up in and around Screven County, and still own property in the south part of the county, once part of the Young/Henderson/Cameron/Henderson place. Most of my brick walls go back before Dixon's entries, usually American Revolution era, up through the War of 1812, with the exception of FARR, which I cannot get back any further than 1865 Augusta, GA.
