In looking at old Talbot list messages, I see that some of you are looking for Leonards. I am searching the Callier line which evidently connects with the Leonards. I have included some deeds which indicate this. Thomas Callier born 1769( sometimes spelled Collier/Caller/) came from Granville/Bute/Warren NC. He married Nancy Mayfield there in 1793 , and by the early 1800's they were in Green Co. GA. In the Franklin Co. NC( adjacent to Warren and once a part of Bute which was split to form the two counties) deed books there are some rather confusing deeds dealing with the estate of Benjamin Mayfield. !822-1833 Thomas and family involved in estate settlement of wife Nancy Mayfield in Franklin Co. NC. (Franklin is adjacent to Warren Co. NC). Thomas and family are still living in Greene Co. GA. He eventually ends up in Talbot Co. GA by where Thomas is buried in Talbotton in 1851. FRANKLIN CO. NC DEED BOOK 21(containing deeds for 1823-25, Book J) p.8 Thomas Callier of Green Co. GA, father and guardian to Betsy Taylor Callier and Edwin Callier, the minor children of his deceased wife Nancy Callier, formerly Nancy Mayfield, appointed James Merriwether of Clark Co. GA as his attorney to recover the estate of Benjamin Mayfield, deceased, late of Franklin Co. Aug. 21, 1820 p.9 James Callier, Urbane Leonard, in right of his wife, Rebecca Parsons, formerly Rebecca Parsons Callier, and James Pace Leonard in right of his wife Martha Duke, formerly Martha Duke Callier, all of Green Co. GA, appointed James Meriwether of Clark Co. GA as their attorney to recover from the estate of Benjamin Mayfield, deceased, late of Franklin Co.(Francis Dudley Callier was presumably the wife of James Callier, Aug. 1820.) **Note: (From the History of Greene Co. GA, by Rice and Williams, Irbane Leonard married Rebecca Collier(Callier) Feb. 2, 1815.) p.215 James Callier and wife, Frances D. Callier, James Meriwether and wife Mary T. Meriwether,(according to other records, Mary T. Callier married James Meriwether) and Elizue L. Newton, and Elizabeth (Betsy) T. Newton, all of Green Co. AL, sold land situated in Franklin Co. to Richard Russell of Warren Co. NC, which land was a part of the tract formerly belonnging to Benjamin Mayfield, deceased, Nov. 2, 1822. p. 460 William Thrift and wife , Sally Thrift, she of Warren Co. , replacement deed to Thomas T. Russell for land formerly conveyed to Richard Russell of Warren Co. who has since died; this deed was for land drawn by said William and Sally Thrift in the division of the lands of Benjamin Mayfield, deceased, April 1833. p. 473 Edwin Callier of Talbot Co. GA, deed to Thomas T. Russell for land situated in Franklin Co. , it being one-sixth part of the land which Benjamin Mayfield died seized and possessed; James Meriwether Mayfield, formerly of the state of Georgia, but now of Tennessee, sold this land to Richard Russell sometimes in the year 1822; said Edwin Callier was a minor at the time of that sale, March 13, 1833. Now, in the cemetery listing for James Callier, his"wife" Irbane Leonard is listed. Is this an error? Wasn't Urbane/Irbane Leonard a male as indicated by the Greene Co. marriage and the deed listing the wife of James Callier as Frances Dudley? The Mayfields, Dukes and Calliers were neighbors in NC long before the move to GA . Any help with understanding these deeds will be appreciated. Sue Moore Texas
