    1. [GAUNION] Northern Georgia Ancestors

    3. Posted on: Union Co. GA Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Union?read=592 Surname: Blair, Henson, Smith, Maney, Corn, Hawkins, Denton, Berrong ------------------------- Is there an inscription list for the people buried in the Ivy Log Cemetery. To give you a little background: I am a descendant of a family whom I have tracked to northern Georgia (Union County and others). There was a James Hayes Blair who married Sarah Unknown, she was Cherokee Indian. Their children were George Blair, Jennie Blair (Sweetwater) and Margaret Blair (Henson). These children were relocated to Oklahoma during the Trail of Tears. Sarah Unknown then married a man who took the name of John Smith. Their children were Sarah Lucy Smith (Timpson), Samuel Smith, Henry Smith, Esther Smith (McLeymore) and William Smith. These children remained in the East during the Trail of Tears and migrated north into North Carolina. I am at the proverbial brick wall with the parents, birthdate, birth location, etc. of James Hayes Blair, Sarah Unknown, and John Smith. I have narrowed their births down to the 1770's by their children,s ages. As you noticed Margaret Blair married a Henson. His name was William Richard Henson born about 1795. I think his parents were William Henson and Pollie Unknown. Therefore: I am very much interested in the Hensons & Blairs who lived & died in the Northern Georgia area. If anyone knows of any type of research materials which would help me could you please let me know. I have other family lines which migrated through Georga which was a little more documented than this line. I live on the Cherokee reservation in North Carolina and would be willing to exchange information with anyone who could help me.
