This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Harrison Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Dd.2ADI/1273 Message Board Post: Looking for any information on George Tillman and Sylvia ( Childs ) Harrison Bailey. The last records I have found were poor school records in Upson County 1867 - 69 with three children John, Elizabeth and I think Jessie Harrison would be the third one. Any help would be appreciated Larry Childs
Wayne, I do appreciate all of the Foster information that you are sharing. I remember back when you asked about my Mary Foster and I still have only her name. My Mary B. Foster married Andrew Crawford and they are my 4th generation Grandparents on my Mothers side of the family. They had Joseph Crawford and he married Saleria Smith. They had Robert Frank who married Martha Emma Jane Cochran. They had Eddie Montgomery Crawford who married Annie Pope Banks and they had my grandfather Robert Clark Crawford who married my grandmother Lilla Inez Chappell. I have information on some of these lines but not all. I remember you had mentioned a Foster family grave site somewhere between Neal and Concord. I did ask about this but have not found anyone as yet who knows anything about it...mainly because the older people who might know are just about all gone. I am going to send your information to my Lifsey cousin...on my Fathers side...we will probably have a connection with that line...I will let you know. Thanks again for your wonderful information.

The Upson Historical Society November issue has many interesting items. Shanna English is going to be their speaker next Monday Nov 24th. Many of you will recognize that name from all the many, many contributions she has made for our on-line pages. We're always mentioning the work she's done on the Old Jail Museame and Archives in Barnesville. (And it really is an Archives -- she has a growing collection!) A new series of historical pieces by Melvin Bentley, written as a young man and printed in the 1954 Thomaston Times. These describe the county and his interviews with citizens at that time. You'll love reading about people you would be sure to remember. Penny Cliff gives her usual interesting column and this time it was on smallpox and the devastation it caused. She quotes from the Upson County Minutes of 1853. Dr. E.A. Flewellen was treating a patient with smallpox and then had to undergo quarantine himself -- and the house (hospital) where he was treating him had to be burned to the ground. Smallpox reoccured in other years -- 1903 Dr. W.J. Jones was paid to guard a home for 20 days and nights. Hartford Pryor writes his monthly column and highlights Otis Jones and his "blind man's store". I know all of you will really enjoy your issues -- and we all look forward to them each month! This one is issue 6 of the 37th year! Virginia Crilley
