This is written in follow up to my original message to the Zeigler web address which is quoted below. I have found (hopefully) the parents of Rachel Jeannette "Nettie" Evans. Her mother was Theresa Zeigler, born 07/27/1844, died 05/17/1919. Her father was James Hezekiah Evans, born 08/03/1847, died 02/11/1918. I would think they were all born in Screven County (Effingham) or close by. They were married 10/26/1866 in Screven County, GA. They are buried in the Sylvania City Cemetery. Theresa's father was Israel Zeigler. I think Rachel Jeannette (Nettie) had a sister by the name of Carrie Zeigler. Any information about her family would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to know more about her siblings and parents. Thanks, Lewis L. Lanier ************************************************************************ "Hello Cousin Zeigler's, My grandmother was Rachel Jeannette Evans and was born in Halcyondale, Screven County, GA. in 1872. Halcyondale is a now defunct town located about 20 miles from Sylvania. Her father was a Zeigler who lived in that area. She married Augustus Rodney Lanier on 10/30/1901, although I have seen a different date for the year. I have heard that her father's family was from Austria, but do not know that as a fact. I believe that Screven County also used to be known as Effingham County. I would appreciate hearing from any of the Zeigler's from that area. I would like to know her father's and mother's name, siblings, etc. Thanks, Lewis L. Lanier"

Does anyone know if Robert J. Williams,Jr.m.to Ann Curtis July 23, 1827 could have the following children. Martin b 1829 John b 1830 Robert Washington b 1832 David b 1834 Mary Ann b 1840 Daniel b 1842.

Dear Joyce SCOTT, I am glad to furnish you, by e-mail, the material that I had furnished to George W. SMITH (Mar 1999, which includes abstracts of data from many primary sources to provide the needed background) and Randy SCOTT (Sep 1999); however, in a post just within the last few days, Randy SCOTT indicated that he has proven his descent from William SCOTT Sr (probable brother of my ancestor James SCOTT Sr) & Elizabeth RIEVES, and thus has evidently done research beyond what I was able to furnish to them and am able to now furnish to you. As to his additional data, I must refer you to Randy SCOTT for the primary sources on which his research and additional data are based. The two messages of Mar 1999 will furnish you the background data which I have for your Screven Co GA family. Note: Randy, I certainly would like to know more about those additional (GA?) documents concerning William SCOTT Sr, etc. and where I might see them as well; abstracts of this material would be helpful to many of us. Among other matters, in that recent message, Randy SCOTT indicates that he has: Established a birth year (and the decade of his death) for William SCOTT Sr (I have not found a census record for him, or other supporting data, so I do not have a birth year, or even a range of years, for him), Established Revolutionary Service (RS) in SC (because James, William and SCOTT are such common names, ascribing RS {in SC or elsewhere}to our SCOTTs must be done with great care -- ours may {or may not} be old enough to have served in that war), Established that William SCOTT Sr had more than one supposed brother (Josiah SCOTT was a very wealthy man {owned 104 slaves at one point}and no less than twenty-six of his cousins, with a dozen or more surnames, lined up for their inheritance -- it is quite doubtful that Josiah was related to our SCOTTs, since none of our SCOTTs were listed as due a portion of that considerable estate), and Established that the mother of the dozen or so children of William SCOTT Sr is Elizabeth RIEVES (I can only count her, from deed evidence, as the mother of just one of these children; for me, the mother{s?} of the others is unknown). William SCOTT Sr's children had ties to Wayne Co GA and many moved on to Jackson Co FL, however I have not been able to place the lot of them in the earlier census records (admittedly, I primarily rely on records from Bulloch, Effingham and Screven Cos GA), that is, the census records prior to 1850.

Hi ! I'm new to this news group but heavily involved in genealogy since 1974. In the past several months I have proved, finally, my Scott family back to g-g-g- grandfather William Scott ( c.1760-183--) One of his brothers', James Scott, has a long family line in Screven thru the current generation ( ironically, one of his descendants, Benjamin Franklin Scott, 111, died here in the past few weeks ( Jacksonville, Fl ) James was alledged, at one point, to have been a Rev War Vet but I believe William and another supposed brother, Josiah, were vets, from South Carolina service. William had over ten children by Elizabeth Rieves including my g-g- grandfather, James Franklin Scott ( b. 1815 Screven Co died April 7, 1870 Jackson County, Fla he was there c. 1841/42 His first known child, my g-g-grandfather Sam ( Samuel Francis Marion Scott ) was born there Dec. 5, 1842. Along with Jim was his brothers Jasper and Sherwood ( Sherod ) and at one time Homer and sister Rhoda. By 1860 sisters Mary Ann with her S/Co husband Joseph Cox and sister Sarah with her S/Co husband Ferdinand Weeks I am looking for data on William Scott's history/ancestry and descendants and especially history of the Rieves family, via Elizabeth's father Richard Glad to share my data rscott@leading.net fax 904-739-2370 Randy Scott Entertainment _______________________________ From: John R Peavy 09/09/99 To: rscott@leading.net Subject: Re: Scott ancestry Screven Co.Ga Dear Cousin Randy SCOTT, I cannot be long at this -- we are about to go out of town for a while (and I've been tied up with many other matters of late). I so far don't have any reason to beleive that William SCOTT Sr is other than the brother of James SCOTT Sr (and that Joseph SCOTT is the son of one of them). I had received earlier information that there could be another brother, a John SCOTT "Sr," but the "Jr" for that proposed gentleman turned out to be John SCOTT, son of William SCOTT Sr. I think that the records that I've seen so far make James SCOTT Sr and William SCOTT Sr contemporaries -- their descendants remained close (James SCOTT Sr's widow and her second husband are at one point living with the bachelor William Thomas SCOTT and the census records imply that representatives of the two branches continue to live near each other). The key to counting out the dozen or so children of William SCOTT Sr is the estate of his unmarried son, William Thomas SCOTT ("Jr") in the 1850s or 1860s as the various surviving brothers and sisters are involved in the estate distribution, many of them in Jackson Co FL. Since only Richard Rieves SCOTT is accounted for in the RIEVES' wills, he may be the only child of WIlliam SCOTT Sr by Miss RIEVES. I do not know the mother(s) of the others, including those that moved on to Wayne Co GA and then either back to Screven Co GA or on to Jackson Co FL. Perhaps with a trip to the Screven Co GA (and even the Wayne Co GA) Court House, you might be able to uncover more estate records or deeds to help you with your quest. I'll eventually send along messages concerning the little that I learned of your SCOTTs and RIEVES, although you perhaps have that already from Cousin George SMITH -- as almost always, I posted the more data-ful messages to the GASCREVE-L mail list, so they are now in many places, likely including the family folders at the Statesboro Regional Library. I am surprised that a book in the Statesboro Regional Library repeats what I've only recently been able to learn in researching to respond to Cousin George SMITH's inquiry! ... ________________________________ From: Randy Scott rscott@leading.net 09/09/99 Subject: Scott ancestry Screven Co.Ga John..George Smith gave me your site address and copies of the Screven Co fata you sent him re: our Scott's in S/C, wills, etc connecting my Jackson County, Fla Scott's with the descended family of James Scott,Sr ( once listed as a Rev War Vet but proven not (?) 1757-1831 ) My grandfather was b Dec 5,1842 Jackson County, Fl his dad,James Franklin Scott b.1815 S/C , Ga ( both served Confederacy from J/C, Sam in 6th Fla Regt, Jim in 8th Fla Regt..went in as asubstitute in 1863 at 48 and wass discharged later that year with clogged artery problems he died April 7,1870 from this heart problem..I began in 1974 searching for my Scott ancestry and got seriously looking in 1981 by '82 I began zeroing in on James Scott'Sr's line thinking they might be my connection ( Jim's Discharge Papers declared he was born 1815 in Screven Co, Ga ) Thru Census' , Wills, marriage records, county historys, etc I compiled his descendants as far as I could go..some years ago I received a copy of the published geneaology of James which included your Hope B. Scott line..I traced them down to a B.F. Scott living here in Jacksonville who was a Benj.Franklin Scott 111..I had found an obit in the local paper on his father and called him..unfortunately he could have cared less about his family history ( he said:"I'm retird Army, got my house paid for, a littles food and a case of beer every few days and that's all I care about..my son,too ! ") so I have massive notes on this family and now, thanks to George it looks like I have connected my line back thru James.Sr but, I believe, thru Wm Scott, father of Wm T., et al..I believe William to be James' first born (if not James,Jr) Your data suggests he might be a brother to James ? The (Fake?) DAR records I have copies of on the 'cuz' who applied for membership thru James ( Walter Scottie Scott informed me a month back that this data was false, that James did not serve but it was believed he had brothers that did and that they were from NC not Virginia..do you have anything on this ? ) ( by the way, sorry for my vast rambling here..I'm trying to compose this and answer phone, other E mail,faxes,,I own/operate Randy Scott Entertainment Agency,Inc here in Jacksonville..have been in entertainment 44 years come February,staring when I was 11 ) ) If you can further educate me on this Scott line please do..I have my line all but complete thru latest generations ( James F. was married twice but I don't know who his first wife, Sam's mother,was..By his teenage bride, Jane Brown, b. Alabama she was 17/18 when he married her in 1848 at 35 ( lucky rogue!!) they had a son William b.1848/49 who died by 1860 Censusand then during and after the War he begat and begot 3 girls and 3 boys who went on to create large families now all over Florida and s.w. Georgia..I am the last Scott thru my grandfather,Sam's youngest child, Charles H. Scott 1880-1961....I told Scottie and George that I plan to make a trip to Screven Co as soon as I can find an open weekend ( hard to do in my business since I'm either booking acts, overseeing them or performing in one of five different bands I have under my name ) Scottie offered to show me around especially James'Sr's grave..George said he would like to make the same trip also and all meet for the first time...perhaps you could join us.. will keep you informed I thank you very much in advance for any assistance you can be, Randy PS I just remembered..Scottie first contacted me thru an inquiry in 1988/89 and then we lost touch..he saw my inquiry on the Net USGenWeb.com site and in the Family Tree paper out of Moultrie, Ga..he told me that he had seen a book in the Sylvania or Stateboro Library on the Rieves family re: Elizabeth Rieves marrying William Scott and they being the parents of James F, Jasper, Sherrod, etc ( their sister, Rhoda, was living in J/C,Fl in 1850 census,age 17 she married Rueben Conner in 1854 in J/C, there 1860 Census with children..) Do you have any data on the Rieves family from Screven..I have a Will or two that mentions her father and brothers and William but not James,Jasper etc ..Thank you ! -R- ________________________________ From: Randy Scott rscott@leading.net 09/09/99 Subject: Scott addendum John,,I knew I'd forgotten something..you now have my E mail, my phone is 904-731-7065 home/office; Fax 904-739-2370 address 8453 Lynda Sue Ln W Jacksonville,Fl 32217 Web site www.randyscott.com pager 904-720-7647 Thanks! __________________________________________ NetZero - Defenders of the Free World Get your FREE Internet Access and Email at http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html

Hello list, Someone shared census information with the list about a surname of MINER and included additional households. A REBECCA GROSS was also listed as a 70 yr old in the 1860 census in Ga. I also have a Rebecca M. Gross 70 yr old in a census for St. Peters Parrish in South Carolina. She lived at a John B. Ferguson home and is listed as a pauper. The 1860 S/C census was taken on June 6th and I'm wondering if my Rebecca was in Ga. when their census was taken, living next to the Miners. If any one remembers writing that note, please let me know. I copied and pasted and don't remember the complete original context. Thats what I get for trying to read email at work when genealogy papers are at home. TIA Judi Ferguson Sawyer email jvejohn@aol.com

My mothers gr. uncle by marriage Edward O. Bryan married Emma Jane Colson. He was a mayor of Thunderbolt and had a general store there. Is it possible he is related? He was raised at the Bethesda Boys Home along with my mothers gr. father James Henry Lee(he married Sarah Mozelle Colson). I would love info on either one of these men.

Judy, This is Lewis L. Lanier again. Just a few comments to clarify: 1. The Lanier married to Sarah A. Hurst is Isaac Lewis Lanier, not Lewis Lanier. 2. Isaac Lewis Lanier is buried in Oliver Ga., at the Little Ogeechee Baptist Church. I think Sarah is buried there also, but am not positive. 3. Since the "Lanier" Book does not give her exact birth date in 1808, anything is possible. 4. I believe that Belinda was a widow when she married Isaac Lewis Lanier. You are really enjoying this, aren't you! Good luck.

I have a slightly different birth date for Sarah A. Hurst-I have recorded her birth as 1813. will check that out. Now, does anyone have any more input on this 2nd marriage tp Belinda A.Whitstone b. 1815. I know that it had to have been the second marriage, as Sarah was married in 1833, and had her first child in that same year. Need to check Screven, I guess for Belinda's info and a marriage record. I would say that it was more than likely in Screven and Lewis is buried in Screven. Looks as tho he resided in both Effingham and Screven Counties. The Whitstone surname is found in Screven and not a hint of that name in Effingham that I have ever seen. This does at least give us something to go on. Another researcher commented that his notes mention that Belinda was a widow, perhaps when she married Lewis. Any comments or input welcomed. Judy Rountree Mason 2jv@bellsouth.net I do have a recent copy of the marriage of Lewis and Sarah A. Hurst here in Effingham Co. if anyone requires this document-just let me know! >>

I have seen references to "having children in Poore School Fund" cir.1850. Would someone please describe what this means and where was the "Poore School"? George H. Flake gflake@cbd.net

I know that Martin Bryan was married to a Brannen descendant, but that seemed to be very far off. Anyway, I hope that this helps. Please keep in touch. Scottie >> Scottie - so sorry to take such a long time to answer, but I have been about 300 emails behind for over a month. I sometimes go to the bottom and start up, and sometimes from the top, down, but still behind. Lewis Martin Luther BRYAN was my husband's great-great grandfather. He was also the ancestor of Donny MALLARD, who is on this list. I have done a book on our line of BRYANs who came to Barnwell Dist, SC in 1774 from Craven Co NC. Our Rev War ancestor was William BRYAN b ca 1746-7 in NC and married Elizabeth MOORE, dau of Thomas MOORE, Jr also of NC. Their son, Joseph BRYAN, b 1776, married Rebecca Dewees, daughter of Cornelius Dewees, who was b in PA and moved to Charleston. Cornelius's second wife and mother of his dau Rebecca, was Mrs Sarah MINORS, who was the widow of Charles MINORS, Sr, and had two children by Minors. There was a family story, handed down in several of the lines, that there was a John BRYAN who married Sarah Rhedelspurger (spelled dozens of ways - Riedels perger, etc). I did find a John BRYAN, who is likely the brother of our William BRYAN. However, I never found any proof of a marriage for him. He appears in SC during the Rev War, and disappears after the Rev War, so I don't know if he died or if he went back to NC. I have much, much circumstantial evidence to prove that our William BRYAN is a grandson of Lewis BRYAN, Sr. who was one of the original BRYANs who settled in eastern NC. We have good reason to believe that he was a brother of Edward BRYAN, Sr. (land documents, etc), but since he lived in a county that burned soon after his death, we have very little to find on Lewis Sr's family, other than headrights and later documents of those who were his children and grandchildren. We suspect that William is a son of Lewis BRYAN, Jr, who may or may not have been the Lewis BRYAN who showed up in Barnwell Dist, SC at the same time frame of William, Simon, John, and other BRYANS. Our research group has been hard at work for over 3 years, now, and we originally thought that it would take about 2 years to find the answer. Some of the other people on our research team have corrected many of the other BRYAN lines which were published, and we are now finding more to challenge the old tale of Needham BRYAN's family (his mother was not Alice NEEDHAM, dau of a royal line. She was Alice MACLAND, dau of John MACLAND, by his will.). Someday we will be ready to release our findings, but we are still working hard, and finding more and more on every line. We use only documents, and no genealogies - which are full of errors. I got off on a tangent there, didn't I? ha ha ;-) I am of the belief that the Rhedelspurger (et al) connection is through the DEWEES line, and would love to have time to go look at those Rhedelspurger/Reidelsburger, etc, documents in SC, and maybe will, some day. If I can help in any other way, please do let me know. Judy Canant

Looking for info on my g-g-g-grandparents, William McELVY and Barbara (Barbary) REEVES McELVY. William was born ca 1778 and they were married in 1799. They were in Burke Co, GA in 1803, then in Tattnall Co, GA in 1820, then in Decatur Co, GA in 1830. William died in Decatur Co. in 1842 and Barbara died there in 1838. William was a Primitive Baptist preacher who traveled to many areas and constituted a number of churches. He was associated with William Hawthorne in his ministry. William & Barbara had 14 children. They settled in south GA and north FL. I am specifically in need of info regarding William and Barbara's ancestry. <parents, siblings, birthdates, marriage location, etc.> Any and all info, no matter how little, will be appreciated.
