GA, They have a death date for John R. as between 1880 and 1890, they have a John Bryan b ca.1844, who is the right age to be the John W., son of John R. and Louisa, was the John in the Civil War, Co. K, 12th GA Calvary CSA and is also buried in Anderson Cem. No death dates on any of the markers. He is in the 1870 Census of Catoosa Co. GA, do not think he died in the war either.

Hi Becky, Is A.F. Shaw Arba F. Shaw? I don't know (as in I cannot right this minute prove it), but I think so. My suspicions are based on the following: 1) I have read MANY "local happenings" columns in the Walker County Messenger from the 1880s which (columns) were signed by A.F. Shaw. 2) According to Doris Hetzler's article "Cooper Heights" in <cite>Walker County Georgia Heritage 1833-1983</cite>, "... According to Arby Shaw, writing the Fricks Gap and later Cooper Heights news for the Walker County Messenger 1883 to 1905, ... "Arby Shaw, who wrote the news until he died in 1909, has two great grandchildren living there. They are Lucille Leath, Now Mrs. Rowland Strickland and Neal Leath." n.b. I do not have this book, but got the quotes from copies made for me by the wonderful Betty Johnson at the Cherokee Regional Library in Lafayette. 3) A.F. (Arby) in several of his columns refers to my ggg-grandaddy Joel as "Uncle Joe" and to ggg-grand(step)mother Sarah Shaw Fowler as "Aunt Sarah". Arba was son of William M. Shaw, who was the brother of Sarah Shaw Fowler, so Arba would have called Sarah "Aunt Sarah". 4) I have seen other family genealogies where Arby was used as a nickname for Arba. That isn't DNA-level proof, but it looks pretty good to me. If we could track Arby's great-grandkids and match them against Arba's, I'm thinking we could prove that both Arby and Arba are the same fellow. Are you researching the Shaw family? If so, go back to my website and read the story about Joel's Mare. Nice quote there from Harriet Shaw. Cheers...

Hi, I'm responding to my own very old query because I'm still looking for an answer and I need to freshen-up the email and web addresses. ---[original message follows]--- Hi All, It seems to be very solidly established that Joel A. Fowler (1823 - 1894) and his second wife, Sarah M. Shaw Fowler (1828 - 1907) are both buried in the Antioch Cemetery near Cedar Grove. But what about Joel's first wife: Serphina T. "Sophie" Tipton? Does anybody have any idea what happened to her? Sophie and Joel had four children by 1851 and then? Was there a problem with the birth of her last (Mariah Fowler (McWhorter))? Did she run off with a traveling medicine show? And while I'm at it, does anybody have a _solid_ source that will confirm Joel's middle name was "Asbury"? Thanks... Ken Fowler (Joel's ggg-grandson) Sharing my FOWLER information at < http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~klfowler/index.html >

Parham: William Franklin Parham (1817 - 1892) lived from South Nick-a-jack RD all the way into McLemore Cove where he died. He is buried either in Old Antioch or Anticoch Cemetery. His wife was Mary Lucinda Mowrey Parham who survived him but had removed to Dade County in February of 1900 to live with a married daughter. Do not know when she died nor where she is buried. They were the parents of 11 children. All lived to adulthood but Lewis died shortly before the 1900 census. The Longs who were in Chattanooga Valley (Cenchat) area of Walker County: John A. Long (d. 1885); son, James Riley Long to son, James William Long to dau, Ollie Mae Long Parham. Williams of Chattanooga Valley: Alfred Williams, d. 1869, was from Campbell County TN. His dau, Summerfield Elizabeth md James William Long. Hanson: Thomas Hanson, d. 1879 in the Valley, was the father of Margaret Hanson who married James Riley Long. Thomas was originally from VA but had removed to the Fayette/Coweta County areas of GA. Rawlings: William Poe, b. in TN - d. during Civil War somewhere in TN.

A second set of Williams (husband's side) who were from AL but lived in the McLemore Cove area. Son, Samuel married Susan Jane McKey and both are buried in Chattanooga Valley Baptist Cemetery.

Whale or Whaling Turner, b. 1799; d. 1894 in the county farm but is buried in Coulter Cemetery. I believe he was a part of the Turner clan who lived in Bledsoe County TN but Whale moved to Marshall County AL prior to 1840 and then to Walker County after 1850 and before 1860. Joel Thomas Westbrook: Born in Coweta County GA to Joel Westbrook and Lucy (---).

Nancy died and is buried in an unmarked grave Newnan Springs Unity Methodith Cemetery; Joel married a second time to Sarah. Both Joel and Sarah are buried in Peavine Cemetery. Would like to know more about Joel's parents... when and where they died and where buried. Also about Nancy's parents. Wall: Wyley Wall born in N.C. the son of Kinchen Wall. Wyley moved from N.C. across S.C. into Catoosa County/Walker County area where he married Harriett Ballew, the dau of Robert and Elizabeth (---) Ballew. Wyley fought for the C.S.A. and he and Harriett are buried in Chickmauaga City Cemetery.
