I remember reading about it somewhere before. Have a great day Hilda

Hi, I'm Hank Holloway. I'm trying to find birth announcements etc for my sister, born Hatti-Jayne HOLLOWAY in La Grange in Jan-Feb 1945. Also any information whatsoever on Martha Jane KENNEDY. This is the maiden name of my paternal grandmother. My father was born in 1902 to give an idea of her possible b and d dates. I have no other information. Thanks, Hank

I am searching for information about Elizabeth M. Bailey(and family) b. circa 1800 in SC, husband unknown. Her known children are: Jacob Bailey b. circa 1827 GA m. 8 June 1848 Troup Co. GA to Sarah Ann Smith b. circa 1829 GA. Mary A. Bailey b. circa 1826 SC Delila Bailey b. circa 1832 GA Another child could possibly be Elizabeth Bailey who married Jackson Poage in Troup Co GA 2 Sept 1841. We believe this to be the parents of my ggrandfather Andrew Jackson Pogue(grandson of Elizabeth Bailey)who was b. 6 Oct 1843/1848 in Troup Co GA.. In 1840 there is an Elizabeth Bailey listed in the Troup Co GA census. With her is 1 male from 40 to 50 yrs old, 1 female from 30 to 40 yrs old(Elizabeth ?), 2 girls from 15 to 20 yrs old(possibly Elizabeth and Mary A.), 1 girl from 10 to 15 yrs old (possibly Delila), 1 male from 10 to 15 yrs old (possibly Jacob). She owned 6 male slaves and 6 female slaves. In 1850 Elizabeth, Andrew Jackson age 2, and daughters Mary and Delila were in the household of Jacob and family in Troup Co GA. In 1860 Elizabeth, J. A. Pogue, and daughters Mary and Delila were in Troup Co GA. Jacob, Sarah and 5 girls were in Upson Co GA. In 1870 Elizabeth and daughters were in Talladega Co AL next door to Andrew Jackson and family. In 1880 Mary Bailey listed as an aunt was living with Andrew and family in Talladega Co AL. If anyone can make a connection or has any information about these people, I would be glad to share any material I have on them. Thanks. Marilyn Baker

Hi Everyone We are two hours old with fifteen members strong, and not one single post. I was expecting things to be slow but not this slow. Would someone please break the ice. All you have to do is say my name is _____ and I am researching _____. Then we can all respond with the knowledge we are dying to share with each other. Thanks Hilda

Our list just started and we are already four members strong. Let's post a note to get to know each other. I am Hilda King, I was born in Troup County, LaGrange and am haveing a hard time finding the history of my COBB and COPELAND lines. My goal is starting this list is to have a place to archive some of the Troup County Families and records. I have a couple of reference books I can check here at home and am hoping to find someone in Troup County that will do lookups for us. I also have the 1850 census book here and will be glad to do lookups in the limited material I hav. My others books are A History of Troup County, Hillview and Hillview Annex Cemeteries Book. (Hillview is the largest cemetery in LaGrange and A History of LaGrange Georgia) and A History of LaGrange, Georgia 1828-1900 and Genealogical and Historical Register of Troup County, Georgia. This is our list so any comments or suggestions you have on how to make it successful will be greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to getting to know each and everyone of you. We will probably be slow for awhile till we get going strong so please Ask anyone you know that has connections in Troup County to join us. Again welcome GATROUP!!
