Hello, Virginia, I have heard of you from my cousin, Mike Vaughn. I think he knew you when he lived in Waco. I don't believe the librarian there purchased my last award winning book,"Twiggs County Georgia Records, A Reconstructed Heritage." I have a few corrections on the spelling of several names below: Sharp should be Tharp, Denton should be Denson and Anders Andrews. Of course Richlaud was Richland as you suggested. The William H. Read was my great grandfather. I appreciate your interest in Twiggs County. ---- Original Message ----- From: "Virginia Crilley" <varcsix@hot.rr.com> To: <GATWIGGS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 19, 2004 1:00 PM Subject: [GATWIGGS] Early Academies > Anybody know anything about these early academies -- where they were > located, (I think there was probably a community or church near them) > > how long they were in business -- or anything about the trustees > named.
