Posted on: Twiggs Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ga/Twiggs/10144 Surname: Hudson, Hamm, Dixon, Peacock, McDaniel ------------------------- Seeking info on the parents and siblings of William Newton Hudson, born July 17, 1863. He married Minnie Griffin in Twiggs County about 1884 and was found on the 1900 Laurens County Ga Census with family. Thanks Bernice

Hi - Surnames: DANIEL, TARVER, RICHTER, WISE, RIVERS, WHITEHEAD, PERRY, PEARCE, HARDEN/HARDON, RENEAU, FLORENCE/FLOURNOY, MURPHEY As a short introduction. My GGF was Robert W. DANIEL, Esq. (1810-1865) of Bethany, Jefferson County, GA I believe his father was a brother of the Martha Julia DANIEL who married John Reason WHITEHEAD, Esq. before 1800. Robert has siblings named Sarah (married a WISE), Lucretia (married a TARVER) and James L. (married Mary MURPHEY in 1834 and an Ann before 1850 who may be a HADON/HADEN or PERRY). Robert W. DANIEL stated he was born in NC and we know he married, at least, three times. Possibly first to a Martha MURPHEY in 1836, 2nd to a Julia FLORENCE or FLOURNOY and (3rd) to my GGM, Mary Jane RENEAU (1830-1912), a daughter or Rev. Russell RENEAU, a Presiding Elder in the GA Conference of the ME Church. We also know that Robert had at least these children: Julia (born 1843), Mary (born 1848), James R. (born 1849), William Russell (born 1853) and Alice Elizabeth (born 1854). There may have been earlier children of which I am not aware. We also do not know when and where Robert died but we know he died on 23 Nov 1865, according to an entry in the Reneua-Richter Bible (c1836). We also believe the first wives of both Robert and his younger brother, James L. DANIEL (1813-before 1860), were the daughters of Rev. Nicholas MURPHEY of Richmond County, GA. The second wife of James L. DANIEL that he married before 1850 stated in her 1861 will found in the Probate Records of Jefferson County, GA that she had a sister named Marie HARDON and a bother named John PERRY. We have no other information on her. Lucretia DANIEL, Robert's sister, married a TARVER, who we think was related to the Harrison TARVER or Twiggs County. Their other sister, Sarah DANIEL, married a WISE, that some say was named Thomas C. WISE but there is no confirmation for this marriage. I do have the names of most of Lucretia's and Sarah's children. These siblings may have other brothers and sisters of which I am not aware. I do know that Robert's youngest daughter, Alice Elizabeth DANIEL (1854-1924) married my grandfather, John C. RICHTER (1848-1907) of Madison, Morgan County, GA in 1872. There are also several collateral links in this family to the RIVERS Family and one direct link to the PIERCE?PEARCE Family. . Any information is appreciated John R. Clarke For some of the best from the outdoors visit www.outdoorwriter.com or www.online-outdoors.com

Samuel Pate may have been related to Rev. William Pate of Pulaski/Dooly Co Ga. [Documents written in the early 1900's indicate a relationship, but do not give the necessary proof & may in fact be in error as to the exact nature of the relationship.] Do you have any idea why your ancestor was named Pate William Wood or if there was any type of connection to the Samuel Pate or William Pate family?

Jack, If is has not already come to your attention, you may want to take a look at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cloud/TX/Alabama_Jeremiah.htm for other Bateman connections. There is quite a group of us on a quest for the origins of our ancestor Jeremiah Cloud, whose 1861 TX obituary said that he was born in Twiggs County GA (quite possibly on land that was Indian territory at the time and later was included in Wilkinson County, then Twiggs County, and then Bibb County). Thus, we are quite interested in the history of that region and of other people who were there in that era. Jeremiah Cloud said that he was born in Georgia in Twiggs County in 1784. Although Twiggs County was not formed until 1809, the land that became Twiggs County was certainly there in 1784 and people were residing there. Jeremiah did not depart Georgia for Alabama until well after 1809. There were further changes in county lines, and one family researcher has said that land being occupied by Jeremiah's family was part of what was carved out of Twiggs County in 1833 to expand Bibb County. This could have been true without Jeremiah ever knowing (or caring) about it. (We observe that in our own time we refer to places by names in use at the time the places last came to our attention, not necessarily the correct name at the time of a particular event being discussed or the correct name at the time of the discussion.) Would love to hear the histories/traditions of everyone thought to have been in the area in the 1775-1835 era Cec in response to what Jack Scarborough wrote: > Posted on: Twiggs Co.
