McMullan's District was actually settled by a number of members of the Harper family; but took the name from Jeremiah McMullen who had married Sarah Harper and settled on the creek across the road from the mill. Other members of the Harper family who settled here together were: Rhoderick and Thomas Harper and Judith Harper, the wife of John Jackson. Daniel Fargason (1806-1884) married in 1827 Nancy Harper, (1811-1852), daughter of Rhoderick Harper. Fargason's Mill was on his place near his house. No certified records are available of detailed facts on the mill, but its purpose seems to have been to serve these related families in this community. One of the millers at this mill was Jim Lester who married Mary Jackson, a member of this family. He later went to Price and Heflin's Mill. Fargason's Mill was a favorite place for picnics about 1910. The mill house is gone, but the property remains in the possession of a descendent of Daniel Fargason." Note: My father told a story of taking a family outing at Fargason's Mill. It would have been between 1910 and 1915. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I found a group picture of the Vineyard School 1899. There were no names with the picture. I assume that my grandfather, Young Joe Harrington (1894-1967) is in the group but have so far been unable to determine which one he is. Input from anyone who can identify folks here would be greatly appreciated. The box.com link below is to the photo. Joe Harrington Fayetteville GA https://www.box.com/s/oyridkrg8cb3jlanesc7

Does any one know where the Popper Cemetery was located in Spaldi County? I am trying to located the grave of my sister-in-laws father who was buried there due to being poor and unemploolied.  His name was Thomas David Gunter born 1 April 1916 died 1 June 1972.  It is said that he drowned in a local river.  Thank you for any help you maybe able to give.            Gladys Edwards Pelosi

Linda,   A cemetery by that name is not in the "Church Cemeteries of Spalding Co. Ga." by B. Myles Smith, Jr. The other cemetery book is Oak Hill and a few family cemeteries. Could the cemetery have another name since the church has moved?   Lynn From: Linda Blum-Barton <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Saturday, September 8, 2012 3:07 PM >Subject: [GASPALDI] Cemetery Question > >Has anyone heard of a Big Springs Baptist Church Cemetery in Spalding County >near the Henry County line? > >I have someone who has written about four cemeteries that are near a >development.  They are trying to find out if the cemeteries have been >transcribed and made available online.  They have determined 3 are in Henry >and we have found them in the archives but this one is in Spalding. > >I guess there is a new location for Big Springs Baptist and someone who >attends there has told them this was the old cemetery for the church. > >Any ideas?  Is it in the Spalding Cemetery book? > >Thanks, >Linda B. > > > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > >

Has anyone heard of a Big Springs Baptist Church Cemetery in Spalding County near the Henry County line? I have someone who has written about four cemeteries that are near a development. They are trying to find out if the cemeteries have been transcribed and made available online. They have determined 3 are in Henry and we have found them in the archives but this one is in Spalding. I guess there is a new location for Big Springs Baptist and someone who attends there has told them this was the old cemetery for the church. Any ideas? Is it in the Spalding Cemetery book? Thanks, Linda B.

He was Robert Clarence Teal I have a copy of my Grandfather's Birth Certificate which (Robert Gray Teal). It shows his father as Clarence Teal and Mother as Gussie Turner. This is the same as Augusta Ophelia Turner, nicknamed "Gussie". I have also seen the record you see where he was living and showing as widowed, but I have not been able to find a record of her death. He shows up later in the Macon Georgia area with a new wife, whose name escapes me now. That ties into the story that he and ASA were railroad men and Clarance rode the Railroad line from Macon to Atlanta. I would be very interested in the Turner connection that we share. I was adopted OUT of the family at birth. My mother Francis Virginia Teal (now deceased) was the daughter of Robert Gray Teal. I met her and was reunited with my birth family when I was about 31 and have been trying to connect the dots ever since. I have become very close to my birthfamily and we share this information. We were all wondering about "Gussie"...What happened to her?? Thank you for sharing what you know. If you have any additional information, I would love to know about my "Turner Family". Thanks again!

If so, Clarence is the son of Asa Teal and Mary E. (maybe Emma)Steed I have in my notes that Clarence and Augusta are in Griffin, Ga in 1900 with no children. In 1900 he is living with sister MaryEtta Gillespie in Africa, Spalding, Georgia. I noted that since the youngest child in 1910 was 2 years old and Clarence was listed as a widower it was a possibility Augusta died in childbirth or from complications of childbirth. Also noted Georgia did not start keeping death records until 1919. Also have notation of a Richard Clarence Teal (1903-1940)who has a death record with the parents of Robert Clarence Teal and Augusta Turner. This child was not noted on an online family tree.

He went by Clarence. He Married Gussie Turner and then she just drops off the radar! He then shows up around the Macon County Georgia area. Family story is that he was a railroad man and drove the train from Macon to Atlanta for many years. His father was known as "Acee" teal and he worked for the railroad too, I think. He was married to someone else......WHAT HAPPENED TO GUSSIE? I can't find her death, but he lived with the children in Griffin Georgia with his sister before he went to the Macon Ga. Area. Anyone know what the story is? THanks! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
