To Betty Bivins re: Twiggs Co. Hatcher and McCallum families. Hi Betty, I recently had occasion to do some research on the Linton Hatcher family (I descend from Linton's grandfather Major John Hatcher). I spoke with several descendants of Linton's son, John Will Hatcher, who live in the Macon area. I also discovered that a cousin (through the Chappel line) who lives in Macon descends from the McCallum line. This cousin has done extensive research on the McCallum line and has visited the site of their Scottish homeland several times. Your probably know the cousin of whom I speak, but if you would like to correspond with me concerning both the Hatchers and the McCallums I would love to hear from you. Thanks, Joyce R.

Nannie McCallum, wife of James Ware McCallum, who died in 1875, married Linton Hatcher her overseer. She lived in Twiggs but it is very close to the Wilkinson co line and her family was from Wilkinson-at Toombsboro. I come from the McCallum husband but was very close to my Aunt Addie. > Addie had one son who died, Linton Wood, so there are no descendants there.Linton Hatcher is buried in the Jeffersonville Baptist church city cemetery. His wife is buried in the McCallum country cemetery. > I have contacted the descendants of Linton Hatcher's other children, but they know nothing of their ancestors and do not even have the phone numbers and addresses of their own first cousins. How sad. > Somewhere in my "stuff' I have a picture of Linton Hatcher and some of his family in front of a grave at which someone was honoring the soldier. It would take some time of looking, and I don't have time to look right now.This picture might be of interest to you and your family. > Please keep me in your files and contact me again in a few months if you are interested in the picture. > My Aunt Addie Hatcher Wood and her brother John Will Hatcher were the only two children from the marriage of Nannie and Linton Hatcher. > The only bad thing about changing email addresses is that I hope I don't loose contact with people that I might help or the reverse. > Good to hear from you. > betty in ga > > Cleaning out some of my (old)e-mail ran across this from you .
