As we've mentioned earlier the Taliaferro Historical Society is active. They have a library that is open for research on a limited basis -- most Sundays 3-5pm. But I've been assured that they will be happy to open it at other times and they post a number to call right on the door. They have some materials on families in 3 - ring notebooks, and we're hoping to get a listing on-line so you can see this what is there. I wanted to encourage members on this list to become members and support their work. So I'm listing the "form" to use.

Has anyone gone before to visit the Alexander Stephen's House in December? Sounds like a very nice tour. If you go (or have gone), tell us more about it. The candle tour in Alexander Stephens home is from 2:00 - 5 (next Sunday) Dec 12. Cost is $2 dollars I think. You can also tour the Confederate Museum then guided through the home. Characters in costume. Location: On Alexander street about two blocks from the Court house in Crawfordville

John W Portwood, born 1814, son of Benjamin Portwood and Martha Patsy Perkins married on July 18, 1843 to Sarah Ward, member of the Indian Wars and Private, Co. C, 6th Reg. 1st Brigade, GA. State Troops. He was a farmer and died in 1865 due to a disease contracted in service. His children : Marion (1843), John H (1845), Amanda (1846), Abram (1848), and Hannah (1849).

Linda Ayers transcribed this roster.....and the handwriting was poor. I was hoping some researchers on this Taliaferro list might recognize some names and help us with burial locations. Some of these men probably received bounty land (not in GA), and also later in life a pension --- even their widows may have drawn a pension. The service was a very brief time when there was danger from the Indians. Not sure where they gathered....many troups went to Columbus, but there were several points where they mustered.

Hi Lee. Great to see you here!! Wiley once told me not to pay too much attention to his directions in the book to some of the country cemeteries - that it wasn't always real accurate or the best way to get there. Rhoda

Virgnia. I think I can identify at least some of those members of the Grand Lodge. S. Harris, W.M. = Singleton Harris S. H. Perkins, S.D. = Solomon H. Perkins J.R.M. Reid = James R. M. Reid P. G. Rhome = Peter G. Rhome Wm. H. Bristow = William Hydel Bristow J. F. Googer = James F. Googer J.G.W. Taylor = Joel G. W. Taylor L. B. Taylor = could be either Littleton B. Taylor or Little Berry Taylor J. M. Triplitt = James M. Triplett J. D. Hammack = Joseph D. Hammack N. Gilbert = Nathan Gilbert T. G. Ellington = Tyre G. Ellington H. F. Bunkley = Howell F. Bunkley J. H Peck = I think this is probably James H. PEEK rather than Peck H. T. Phillips = Henry T. Phillips P. B. Monk = Pearson B. Monk P. Davidson = Paul Davidson (or Davison?) C. W. Gee = Charles W. Gee

Thanks Bruce, I was aware of GNIS and already had printed out info on the 35 Cems listed there. In the course of crossreferencing them to Wiley's work, I found that in some cases the cemetery name doesn't exactly match and in a couple of cases Wiley had two (or more) cems of the same name and only one is listed in GNIS. Also Wiley collected data on about 102 cems in Taliaferro County. To reconcile the discrepancies I'll place a cem on an electronic map using GNIS co-ords and then follow Wiley's directions from the book to try and establish a match. For those cems that Wiley listed which aren't on GNIS (and I suspect that the large part of them, if not all will be small remote family plots) it's just going to be an exercise in "hunt 'em down." And work in neighboring Greene Co. has shown that this may be difficult even with directions. Thankfully during conversations with H. Armor prior to his death, I learned a little of what to look for.

http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/taliaferro/cemeteries/catholic.txt This is a fascinating cemetery to read.... CHURCH OF THE Purification Of the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY At Locust Grove Very famous because it was the first Catholic Church in GA. The file even contains the will which designated the land for that purpose. Virginia

Thanks for the reminder, Bruce. That file is also available (without the ability to click on a map though) http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/taliaferro/cemeteries/gnistali.txt Bruce posted the Chapman-Rhodes Cemetery already http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/taliaferro/cemeteries/chapman.txt

http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/taliaferro/census/1830/1830pg1.txt A friend volunteered to transcribe the 1830 index of names..... but we now need your help to be sure we're reading them correctly. When you're familiar with the surnames of a county, you'll see them more correctly than a stranger. So please, help us out with some corrections... Many of these names are the same ones on the 1827 Lottery listing of those who drew while living in Taliaferro County. Virginia

This list was the only way I could have found the Chapman-Rhodes cemetery a few years ago. A more manageable URL is http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form from where you can enter feature type (cemetery) and state and county info to get the same list. cheers, bruce

Does anyone have this book? Censuses for Georgia Counties Taliaferro 1827 Lumpkin 1838 Chatham 1845 - R. J. Taylor Foundation I'm not sure who actually did the work. If you have the book, would you mind contacting me? I have a question. Virginia

http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/taliaferro/deeds/1827name.txt This list would help you locate early pioneers of Taliaferro County as when you scroll to the right, it lists the Capt's name of the district where the people lived. They many have just sold their land....or some may have moved westward to it. The Captain districts were: (and I'd like to have their first names, if someone happens to be researching them). Justice Moor Echold Town Cobbs Alford Guise Gunn Hammack You could group the families by their district if that would help.... and then you could see who would have "drilled together" and presumably lived next to one another.

Raytown is about nine miles east--perhaps slightly northeast--of crawfordville. There is a group of residences--predominantly mobile homes--about a mile west towards crawfordville from where these photos were taken--the homes carry a Raytown address--a number of deserted rustic buildings and gates line the paved road from Crawfordville's city limits to Raytown.

http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/GA/Taliaferro/state.html This lists some homes and buildings that are on the Historic Registry. This one caught my eye: Colonsay Plantation ** (added 1974 - Building - #74000703) ENE of Crawfordville off SR 908, Crawfordville Historic Significance: Event, Architecture/Engineering Architect, builder, or engineer: Mendenhall,Marmaduke Architectural Style: No Style Listed Area of Significance: Architecture, Agriculture Period of Significance: 1750-1799 Owner: Private "Colonsay" --- would that be a surname or a variation of Colonial? Maybe someone can describe it for us.

http://www.mycountymaps.com/ These are great modern day maps.... some require Adobe Reader.....and some are very slow to load.... I thought some of you might benefit if you are trying to locate a deed or a community or even a cemetery. You can adjust the size on your Adobe Reader, and I believe you could also print these, although I didn't attempt it. Virginia
