Posted on: Twiggs Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ga/Twiggs/10121 Surname: Holland, Epps ------------------------- I am looking for anything about Jim Holland and Mahalia Epps. They are buried at New Haven Church in Twiggs Co. I don't know if the church is still standing. I believe she was born in 1851 and died in 1930. Dates for him are 1850 to 1899. I am unsure of the number of children they had but know that one (my great grandmother) was Donnie Victoria born in 1875. Any piece of the puzzle would be appreciated. thank you.

Hello I would like to mention, my Schofields married into the Cloud family in the mid late 1700's. Leonardo Andreas did a article on the Clouds, Nettles and Schofields of South Carolina. They were in the Fairfield County, SC area. You should check that Andreas document on this family. The Winns, Busbees, Schofields and others from these lines migrated west to Twiggs, Bibb & Houston County in the early 1800's. Some of them might have been in Washington County GA prior to Twiggs opening up, you might look there. The Bateman's were also a prominent family in Houston County, but I am not sure when they arrived there and of course, I don't know if they are your branch. I am sure you realise that the Obituary could be incorrect, it really depends on the source. Good luck with your search.

Attention Twiggs listers: I think my post may have confused some of you. I do not have the Stone Creek book. My book is the HISTORY OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF CHRIST AT MACON, 1826-1990. There is info here concerning the role of Stone Creek Church in the establishing of First Baptist Church in Macon. Mrs. Broome at the Baptist Archives at Mercer library can help you with info about Stone Creek. I am still willing, however to help with lookups from my book. Jennifer S. Braswell

Jennifer, Cecil and I are descendants of Jeremiah Cloud, whose obituary says he was born in Twiggs cty GA in 1784. But, as you know, Twiggs wasn't formed at that time. I have speculated that our Jeremiah may have been the son of a trader in that Indian territory and may have been orphaned at an early age, possibly being taken to South Carolina for a time. His obit says he married at 16, but we don't know where. We cannot find our Jeremiah CLOUD's family and are hoping church records will help. He and his family came to Texas about 1837 and, for those we know about, were Baptists. We don't know whether any of his relatives stayed in Georgia or, for that matter, ever lived there (perhaps only his father came there ???). We are looking for any clues ... **ANYTHING** .... some of us have been hunting for several decades for his family. We hope church records of early Georgia will help us make a breakthrough. I will list here some names that are either family or closely associated. If you don't mind, could you take a look in that book for us ... and perhaps give us some suggestions where else to look? ============================================================= The surnames in the family list below are: BATEMAN CLOUD COBB FRIZZLE (FRIZZEL, etc.) GRIFFIN McDADE ============================================================= 1-Jeremiah "Jerry" CLOUD, ca 1784 Twiggs GA-MAR 14 1861 TX sp: Elizabeth (_____), 1784-1790 GA-bef 1874 TX m: ca 1800 . . 2-William CLOUD, ca 1800-bef 1850 AL . . sp: Margaret FRIZZLE, ca 1809 GA-AUG 22 1865 . . 2-Mary CLOUD, ca 1810 GA (poss.

I noticed the surnames HOLLINGSWORTH - WATTS and remembered that I have an old photograph of Aunt Susan Watts that was passed along to me and has been in my family for many years. Sadly I can not recall who Aunt Susan was in my family. My Mother was Lizzie Hollingsworth, d/o Marion Columbus Hollingsworth, b. Chambers Co, AL, 1847; s/o Israel I. Hollingsworth, b. Twiggs Co, GA., 1817; s/o John Hollingsworth; s/o Jesse Hollingsworth; etc. to Valentine. Is it possible that Aunt Susan is part of the WATTS family that Pam Shirey is searching??? Any suggestions, and help, any information will be greatly appreciated. And many thanks in advance. Jim Allen.

Stone Creek Church (est. 1808) was a very prominent church in Twiggs County and is still existent today. This congregation held a major role in the beginning of the 1st Baptist Church in Macon, GA. I have a copy of the history of the church in Macon on loan from a cousin. What would you like to know about Stone Creek? I will do my best to help you. Jennifer S. Braswell jensgen@integrity.com BTW. Cecil, there several Stokes listed in this book as well!
