Posted on: Twiggs Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Twiggs/119 Surname: Epps ------------------------- I am trying to identify the father of Robert E. Epps, born in Twiggs County in 1868. Any info, even guesses to follow up on, would be greatly appreciated.

Kay, If you should get any information about the Stone Creek Baptist Church, will you please post it to the list? My ancestors, Jacob WATTS and his wife, Millie HOLLINGSWORTH WATTS were members of that church in the early 1800's. He was excommunicated for public drunkeness, but he did repent and was accepted back. I would love to have that book so I could see the names of the people they knew. I know they were in Talladega Co. (now Clay Co.), AL in 1839. He died here in 1850. I would also like to know about Isaac HOLLINGSWORTH and his family whom I think also lived in Twiggs Co.

Posted on: Twiggs Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Twiggs/117 Surname: Nelson, Collins ------------------------- Does anybody have access to the "History of Stone Creek Baptist Church of Twiggs County, 1808-1888" and would be willing to look at it to see if burials are listed. I believe there is also a cemetery there. Is that correct and are there published lists of burials. Any help would be appreciated.

I too have been looking for that cemetery and I think I know about where it is. I plan to try to find it soon. Also there is a book in the Washington Memorial Library in Macon that lists the names of those found in that cemetery. If I recall right the book was written by a Mrs. Willingham. My great aunt Carrie Latson married Britt O'Neal who, I believe was of that family. Britt and Carrie are buried in Andrews Cemetery located on Old Marion Road about 3/4 mile from the current Twiggs County Lind in Bibb County. I will let you know of the results of my search soon.

I am very interested in the Griffin families in Twiggs County, also. Thank you, Diane, for posting your family information. Have you been able to find any records or census information in Twiggs or surrounding counties? This is what I have collected, but I have not put it all together yet: (If anyone has any clues, I would appreciate it) I have a Lucinda Griffin, who was born August 28, 1805, and married Henry Solomon on April 18, 1822. Henry was an older, wealthy landowner. In the 1830 census, they are listed with their two oldest daughters and 60 slaves (in Twiggs County). Henry and Lucinda had 9 children before his death in January, 1847. She remarried Elias Pearce on July 9, 1848. They had one son, Edward Coke Pearce, before her death on November 7, 1857. Lucinda is buried in the Solomon-Faulk cemetery. There are some family Bible pages (on microfilm at the Washington Library in Macon and also listed in the new Twiggs County book) that belong to Lucinda and her second husband Elias. They are dated 1848, so maybe it was a Bible they got when they married. In them, Lucinda lists her parents as William and Rachel Griffin. I believe she may have been related to Larkin Griffin and William Griffin (both are also on the 1830 Twiggs County census). Larkin Griffin served as executor for her first husband Henry Solomon and also named a daughter Lucinda. Her first husband Henry served as executor for William Griffin. In my notes I also have that an Elizabeth Griffin of Marion, Twiggs County, married Robert Beal on January 19, 1826; and that Ethelred Griffin married Mrs. Matilda Childers on May 28, 1835. ( I believe these are both in the new Twiggs County book.) In the 1850 census of Twiggs County, there is a William, age 25, listed with his wife, Mary E., and daughters Laura and Josephine. I would guess this is the Rev. William and Mary Lingo Griffin from Diane's family information. There is also an Eli S. Griffin, age 21, listed with his wife Arabella and daughter Mary J. This should correspond with Col. Eli Shorter Griffin, the brother of Rev. William Griffin. The only other Griffin listed on the 1850 census for Twiggs is an E. Griffin with a Malinda (listed M?), that could be Ethelred and Matilda Griffin. They are both age 55. (Could "Dredd" be a nickname for Ethelred?) There are 4 Griffin households listed on the 1830 census: Yancy and Ethelred have no children in their homes. Larkin Griffin (age 30-40) has a female between 5 and 10, and a female and male both under 5. William Griffin (also age 30-40) has a male between 5 and 10, and a female and two males under 5 years. Both Ethelred and William have a younger male (age 20-30) also living with them. I believe Larkin Griffin moved to Macon in Bibb County, as he died there (at the home of Peter Solomon, a brother of Henry Solomon) on May 25, 1854. He was age 55, so he was born around 1799. Thanks for taking the time to read all this - if anyone is better than I am at putting this kind of information together, or has more information on this family, I would like to hear it (or post it on the list for everyone). Paula

Fellow Griffin Researchers: The following information on my William Griffin was written by my great grandfather, Luther Lawrence Griffin, of Twiggs Cty, GA, 2-6-39. His information differs from other research I have seen on the William Griffin family of Twiggs County, GA. I tend to agree with what he has listed because of the names following through to the present time, i.e., Eli Shorter Griffin, etc. I'm typing it verbatim; there could possibly be misspelled words. I have double checked my typing to be assured that I have made no spelling errors. I have much more information available for those interested. I would appreciate any changes, corrections, or additions. Diane Thompson Dixon William Griffin was one of the colonists arriving in Virginia from England in the latter part of the seventeenth century. He migrated southward into the colony of North Carolina and there he married Mary E. Shorter. They moved from North Carolina to Baldwin County, Georgia, and resided for a short while, then moved to Wilkinson County, Georgia, which is now Twiggs County. Born to them were five children, namely Larkin Griffin, Lewis Lawrence Griffin, Dredd Griffin, Eli Shorter Griffin, and Mary E. Griffin. I do not know who Larkin and Lewis Lawrence Griffin married. Dredd Griffin married a Faulk from Twiggs County, and Eli Shorter Griffin married Mary Ezell. Mary E. Griffin married a Soloman from Wilkinson County (now Twiggs). Larkin Griffin was the first Senator from Twiggs County after it was created along about 1810, and died early afterwards. Lewis Lawrence Griffin served in the Legislature from Twiggs County, and Senator from the 21st Senatorial District three different times. Lewis Lawrence Griffin built the Old Monroe Railroad, the first from Macon to Griffin, Georgia. He went broke at this point and settled there. Griffin, Georgia was built and named in honor of this Lewis Lawrence Griffin (this is where I get my name). In later years, he went into the banking business here. He moved from Griffin, Georgia along about 1840 to Mississippi. I have no further record of him after moving into Mississippi. Mary E. Griffin married Henry Solomon from Wilkinson County. This proved to be one of the most prominent families of Wilkinson County, which is now Twiggs. After the death of Henry Solomon, she married a Faulk. Eli Shorter Griffin married Mary Ezell in the early days of 1830. Three children were born to this union, Allen Griffin, Rev. William Griffin, and Col. Eli Shorter Griffin. After the death of Eli Shorter Griffin, his widow, Mary Ezell Griffin, married Henry Pounds. She had one child from this marriage, Henry Pounds, Jr., who died while a very young man. Allen Griffin, the oldest son of Eli Shorter Griffin never entered into public life. His children are Billy Griffin, Emma Hold or Griffin, Eli Shorter Griffin, Jeff Griffin, Andrew Griffin, and Kate Beasley Griffin, all of whom are now dead. Rev. William Griffin (my father) was the second son of Eli Shorter Griffin. He was ordained as a Methodist preacher at the early age of 19 years, and was still active in his ministrial work when he died at the age of 63. He married Mary Lingo. He constituted 13 Methodist churches in Twiggs, Wilkinson, and Jones Counties. Before the war, he served in the Legislature and in the Senate from Twiggs County and the 21st Senatorial District. He was President of the Senate in 1877 when the Constitution of this State was revised, he was chairman of this committee. This is the Constitution still in use by the State of Georgia today. During his term of office as President of the Senate, Old Governor Joe Brown who was Governor at this time, passed away and under the Constitution of Georgia, this automatically made him Rev. William Griffin, President of the Senate, Governor of Georgia until an election could be held to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Joe Brown. He retired from Public Life until 1883, then he was elected Ordinary of Twiggs County and served in this capacity until his death November 23, 1884. His remains are in the Jeffersonville City Cemetery. His children are Laura Griffin who married John Floyd of Twiggs County. Her children are Willie Floyd, Jody Floyd, Tom Floyd, Mat Floyd, Griffin Floyd, Dick Floyd, Lee Floyd, and Evie Floyd. Laura Griffin Floyd died in 1925 and is buried in the Dudley, Georgia City Cemetery. The second child of Rev. William and Mary Lingo Griffin was Josephine, who married Joe Vinson. Born to them were two children, Mary Lou Vinson and Joe Brown Vinson. Josephine Griffin Vinson died about 1914 and is buried in the Dexter Cemetery. Henry Llewellyn Griffin, the oldest son of Rev. William and Mary Lingo Griffin, married Fannie Myrick, daughter of Captain Dick Myrick of Twiggs County. Born to this union were Lizzie Griffin, Ada Griffin, Fannie Belle Griffin, Pearly Griffin, Lawrence Griffin, Myrick Griffin, Minter Griffin, Arthur Griffin, and Henry Griffin. Henry Llewellyn Griffin died in 1886 and is buried in the Libery Hill Cemetery in Twiggs County, Georgia. Robert Slappy Griffin, son of Rev. William and Mary Lingo Griffin, married Donie Vinson of Wilkinson. Their children are Emma Griffin, Vera Griffin (dead), Robert Blanche Griffin, Leon Griffin, Hattie Griffin, Bill Griffin, Tom Lee Griffin, Mae Griffin, and C. B. Griffin. Robert Slappy Griffin died January 8, 1936 and is buried in the Liberty Hill Cemetery in Twiggs County. Ella Virginia, daughter of Rev. William and Mary Lingo Griffin, married Dock Edmondson of Twiggs County. Their children are John Edmonson (foreman of the Southern R. R. Roundhouse in Atlanta), Dolly Edmonson (dead), Kate Edmonson, Eugene Edmonson, Willie Edmonson, and Homer Edmonson, who is now chief of the Police Department in Chattanooga, Tenn. Ella Griffin Edmonson died about 1906 and is buried in Cordele, Georgia. Minnie Griffin, daughter of Rev. William and Mary Lingo Griffin, married Newt Hudson of Wilkinson County. Their children are Fluker Hudson, Ola Hudson, Newt Hudson, Ella Hudson, Bertha Hudson, Jimmie Hudson, Lena Hudson, Tommie Hudson, Dud Hudson, and Hancel Hudson, Bessie Hudson, McKinley Hudson, and Minnie Mae Hudson.

Griffin constituted Soloman, a Post Office near Old Marion, old county site of Twiggs in the very early days of the R.F.D.

He was elected to the Georgia Legislature from Twiggs County in 1924 and served 1925, 26, 27, & 28. He was appointed a member of the State Executive Committee at Large 1933, 34, 35, & 36. He constituted a Masonic Lodge at Bullard, GA., No. 673, in 1920, and had the pleasure of raising 52 members to the Master's Degree. He is now serving as a member of the City Council of Jeffersonville, GA. His children are Mary Griffin, Minnie Griffin, William Henry Griffin, Reba Griffin, Agnes Griffin, Johnnie Griffin, Robert Shorter Griffin, Luther Griffin, and Marie Griffin. Luther Lawrence Griffin is now living in Jeffersonville, GA. Mattie Brown Griffin married B. R. Reddick of Milledgeville, GA. They are both dead and buried in the Liberty Hill Cemetery in Twiggs County. Col. Eli Shorter Griffin, brother of Rev. William Griffin and Allen Griffin, married Avie Nach (sp?) of Twiggs County. He was elected Sheriff of Twiggs County before he reached the age of 21 years. He served as Sheriff until the War of the States came on he resigned and formed a company known as the Faulk's Invincibles. They met and organized at Old Antioch Church in Twiggs County. After a very short training, they received orders to join Gen. Robert E. Lee in Virginia. There he served as Captain of his Company until he was wounded. When he was able to rejoin his Regiment, he was made Colonel of the Regiment and served in this capacity until the war closed. After he returned home, he was elected to the Legislature and Senate a good many times, the exact number and dates I have no record. He was serving in the Legislature at the time of his death. His children are Eli Shorter Griffin, who married a Miss Jones from Twiggs County. His children are Albert Griffin, Baker Griffin, Jones Griffin, Eli Shorter Griffin, Jenny Griffin, and Ava Griffin.

Death certificate (from Bleckley County) says both were born in Twiggs County. I also believe Isaac's father was Abraham Crosby. I am looking for the Crosby cemetery. Mattie's mother-in-law, Drucella (Cella) Balkam Mixon is buried there. Can you help with the location of any Crosby family cemetery?

Dear Georgia Searchers,      This is one desperate attempt to find my John Hill (age 19 in 1850) who was married to Permilia (age 21 in 1850) sometime c 1849.  I have subscribed to EVERY Georgia Rootsweb list (120 of them) in hopes that someone out there knows something about my Hill line.  So, forgive me if you get this e-mail several time over.  Just delete me if you don't know anything.  slowly, I will un-subscribe tot he list as I see that I might not have any connection in that county.  I am looking for ANYTHING.  Land grants, marriage bonds, wills.....anything.      My story goes like this:      I am Susan HIll, daughter of Ferrell Glen Hill the son of Bourbin Maxwell Hill who is the son of Morgan Maxwell Hill who is the son of John Hill.       My search ends in 1850, Mississippi, Simpson County.  I find John, his wife Permilia and twin children (1 yr old) living in Simpson County, Mississippi.  In 1960, I do not find John and his family anywhere in Mississippi.  In 1870, Permilia shows up with the remainder of the children and Morgan Maxwell living near by, all in Newton County, Mississippi.      My Aunt gave me a paper on her genealogy she wrote when she was in grade school. (Just the other day I asked her again about the papaer.  She stated that her mother gave her the information and that she didn't know any more about John.) In the paper, it states that her grandfather (Morgan) went to Georgia as a small boy.  I believe this to be during the 1860s since Morgan and his twin sister were born in ca. 1849.  I also know that Permilia is from Georgia (as stated on the 1870 census).  The paper also states that John was born in Nashobia County, Mississippi, BUT Nashobia County wasn't formed at the time of his birth.  It was Indian Territory (John or Permilia might be Indian somehow?)  There are HILLs in that county, but none that I can connect to John, Permilia or Morgan.      The last child of this family was born in 1863 and was listed as being born in Mississippi, so this means that sometime pre Civil War, John, Permilia and children went to Georgia.      The largest problem here that I have is not knowing Permilia's maiden name, and the next big problem is Georgia is a very large state when you think about searching EACH county!  So, here I am sending e-mail to each and every county!      So I appeal to the Georgia Rootsweb (County) lists, please, does anyone know anything about the family listed above?  Any little tid-bit might be a HUGE step for me.  I have been at this side of the family now since 1980.  Twenty years later and I still haven't gotten past the 1850s!      Please send any information that you might have to:  Rdsable@aol.com      If you know anyone that might have information, please feel free to forward my address. Thanks alot, a whole bunch!. Susan Hill Huntsville, Alabama Rdsable@aol.com
