Posted on: Twiggs Co. Ga Queries Board URL: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Twiggs?read=68 Surname: Dopson, Lambert, Meadows, Brewer, Stephens ------------------------- Who was the wife of John Dobson of the 1830 census, Twiggs, Co., Ga.,?... He had a son in the 10-15 yr. age bracket. A wife and 2 daughters under 10., so I imagine John and his wife married by around 1815 or 1820 . On the 1850 Census of Tuscaloosa Co., Ala., his wife was named (looked like) Permelia. Could it have been "Amelia? In 1835, Esther Lambert, a widow of James Lambert of Wilkinson Co., made a Deed of Gift in Twiggs Co., of land in Carroll Co., This deed was recorded in Carroll Co., in 1851. Esther Lambert, gave to her son Irvin Lambert, her daughter, Mary Lambert and her adopted son (son-in-law?), John Dopson. Esther had a daughter, Amealey/Amelia, that was not mentioned on the deed. Could she have then been the wife of John Dopson ? Sure would appreciate any help and thank you very much.
