Does anyone have access to, or can you tell me how I might get access to, or information from, the Ordinary's Minutes for Screven County for the period oa 1811-1829. I have found several entries which I hope may give me some clue to my John Freeman who I believe died in 1799 in Screven County. The John Freeman that I am looking for "operated a toll bridge on Brier Crek, where the River Road crossed the ?????. It was destroyed during the Revolution. The location is a mile and a half below the present-day Brannen's Bridge." The children of John Freeman were: Priscilla, William, John, Sarah, Rachael, and Benjamin. The references which I found may be to his son, but I think I need to find out! I found the following references in a book titled "Screven, Minutes Court of Ordinary, Bk 1 (1811-1829), Index Only, OM" in the Public Library in San Antonio, TX.: Freeman, Abigail and John, gtd leave to sell perishable property p. 37, 40, Screven, OM Freeman, Abigail, John Freeman, Jr., gdn, p. 60, Screven, OM Freeman, James, John Freeman, gdn, p78, Screven, OM Freeman, John, decd, Thomas Colding, et al, apprs, p. 59, Screven, OM Freeman, Rachel, John Freeman, Jr. gdn, p. 57, Screven, OM Freeman, Sarah, John Freeman, Jrl, andr, p. 55, 74, John L. Emanuel, etc. divide estate p. 52, Screven OM also Freeman, Benjamin, accout, of $450 ordered pd, p. 25, 29, Ferribee Freeman, admx, p. 175, Screven, OM I believe my line goes through John, Benjamin, Cuyler, Bryant in Screven and Early Counties, GA. Any help will be appreciated. Howard Freeman hlfreemanjr@earthlink.net
