I am researching Hollidays in that county and across the state line in Chambers Co., AL. My g-grandmother, Jane Holliday, b.. 1822 GA, married Thomas Hall Simonton, my g-grandfather, in Troup Co., GA in 1839 and they raised their family in Chambers Co., AL. I believe Jane Holliday may have been of the family of F.B. Holliday, Daniel Neal Holliday, Samuel Holliday - maybe a sister or cousin, and I am told by a cousin that Lutisha Holliday was probably her mother. All these Hollidays apparently came into the Troup Co., GA/Chambers Co., AL area at about the same time from Jones Co., GA-between 1835 and 1840. > > William Bonner and Nancy Chappell Bonner settled on the Wehadkee Creek in Troup County, GA in 1831 but was an active member of the Standing Rock Community in Chambers Co. Their 6th child was Sarah Ann Bonner, b. 20 Oct. 1818 in Jones Co., GA, and she died 8 Aug. 1866. She married F.B. Holliday (above.) I am told that Sarah Ann Bonner Holliday is buried in State Line Congregational Church Cemetery, Chambers Co., AL. > > Sarah's parents' estate sale was 29 Nov.. 1852 and among the buyers listed were F.

I am told that John Holliday, Sr. of Jones Co., GA, d. 1835 there, may have been their father or grandfather, and that Lutisha Holliday was the widow of his son,John Jr., who died before 1830. I have not been able to find proof, however, after searching 3-4 years. > > Any help you can provide will be appreciated.
