Olivia, Wonder if it was the Nancy JOYCE who married Jeremiah CHANCEY, Jr. ??? Sharon shelia, I show John Riley Johns as the son of Silas c. and Tempie. Nancy Chancy shows up as Mrs. Nancy Chancy and she died in childbirth. Tomorrow I'll look up theinfor on Silas and let you know. Silas C had severral wives. I'm suspious that he was married before hewas married to my grandmother. I have not been able to find out who Mrs.Nancy Chancy is. Silas C died in 1924 and is buried in Brandywine cemetery next to hislasrt wife. Olivia

Sheila, I have never seen this name for Obediah. I am excited to know if you've given me something new here. I've only ever seen "Obediah Osteen" Is this his full name? If so, do you know the source for it? Yes, this is the same family. Mary Ann "Pollie" Osteen is my great-great-great-grandmother. Sharon Sharon, Would that Mary O'Steen be Mary Ann "Pollie" O'Steen, daughter of William Edward Obediah O'Steen (1782-1816) and Sarah Unknown? I have a list of 5 O'Steen children for William and Sarah, including Mary. Just wondering. Sheila

Well I was wondering because I never recalled Uncle Ellis doing Genealogy, he just raised farm animals and grew some of the best Grapes and Pears around!! Gosh I miss him........................................... When I drive through now I want to stop by and visit but I have to stop and check myself and remember he is not with us any more! He looked so much like his Daddy! Anyway I will let Mom and Aunt Orene know. They thought it might be Uncle Ellis. I told them I did not think so because if it had been and he liked it that much, surley with me all the time asking him questions about our kin he would have showed me what he had! And I don't recall seeing a computer in his house ever.................that's not to say he did not have one, it could have been in his bedroom I suppose. But I just don't think that this is him, myself. I promised them I would ask!

Ok Robert Thomas Thrift b. May 8, 1833 d. March 3, 1916 was as I said a son of Carr William and Unity Thrift.............this is the lady that Olivia thinks may have been an Albritton woman.............but don't go quoting that as this is just a thought right now! Back to the book stuff........................................ Carr William Thrift was a son of Robert and ___________ person of Washington Co. Carr W. Thrift was born in Washington Co., GA in 1808. He was probably the first child born to Robert Thrift. Around 1830 Carr married his first wife, Unity. She was born in 1804 and died about 1855. Carr and Unity moved with Carr's brothers and sister, to Tattnall Co. in 1838. Carr later settled across the Canoochee River in Bulloch Co. In the fall of 1840. Carr and his family moved to Ware Co. with his brother Leroy and John. Carr shortly after this move settled on Cow House Island in the Okefenokee Swamp. He was living here when Unity died of cancer in 1855. Carr and Unity had: Robert Thomas "Bob" b. 1833 m. Allie Albritton Sarah "Sallie" b. 1834 m. William J. Albritton Laney b. 1836 m. Gideon Jones Mary Ann "Polly" b. 1838 m. Thomas Albritton Leroy J. b. 1841 m. Zilpha Hogan Martha A. b. 1842 m. Noah albritton Margaret b. 1844 m. Peter Griffin William Owen b. 1852 m. Sarah Pittman. Then about 1860 Carr married Lydia Partin, b. April 1840 d. abt. 1905? daughter of Robert and Becky Partin. Lydia had helped nurse Unity during her illness. In the late 1860's Carr moved his family to the westside of the Swamp near Suwannee Creek. He settled on land lot #470 in the 12th land dist. Carr was living here when he died about 1885. He was buried on Cow House Island. Supposed beside his first wife, Unity. After Carr's death, Lydia married James F. Jones on Aug. 21, 1890. Mr. Jones had come to GA with F.C. Gore {Wilcie Janes' husband} from N.C. A few years after their marriage, Mr. Jones, accidentally killed himself while hunting. He was climbing over a fence when his gun fired, killing him. Lydia, later lived in Clinch Co. and finally, in FL. with her daughter Wilcie Jane. Lydia died about 1905? while living in FL. She was brought back to Ware Co. and buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. Carr and Lydia's kids were: Elizabeth b. 1861 m. James Fullwood Gideon b. 1863 m. Sarah Etta Steedley Peter b. 1864 m. Elizabeth Steedley Joseph b. 1866 died young Nancy b. 1868 m. Woodson Graddy Wilcy Jane b. 1871 m. F.C. Gore Matilda b. 1873 m. Mathew C Kight Ok then back from there Robert T. Thrift b. 1772? d. 1837 Forefather of the GA Thrifts Robert Thomas Thrift was born between 1770 and 1775 in Fairfax Co. VA. He was born during a time of great unrest in America; an Unrest that resulted in the American Revolutionary War. He grew to manhood here, enjoying the benefits fand privileges afforded the landed gentry of the period. On Sept. 14, 1796, Robert's daddy George deeded him three tracts of land. One tract containing 708 acres, one for 248 acres and one for 200 acres. Robert left VA and moved to GA somewhere between 1797 and 1804. Since the 1800 census was destroyed when the British burned the U.S. capitol in 1814 during the war of 1812. Roberts residence at that time is unknown. {By this for those who don't know GA and VA censuses were destroyed and are not available to us There is an 1800 but the States are very limited in which to search that survived the times!} The earliest evidence fo his being a GA citizen is a military commission he recieved from the Governor of GA in 1804. On Sept. 11, 1804, Robert Thrift, Gentleman was commissioned a leiutenant in the 96th {Cumming's} Militia Dist. of Washington Co. GA. He was commissioned by Governor John Milledge of Louisville. In 1805, Robert Thrift registered for GA's first land lottery; he drew once, but didn't win any land. Robert married about 1805, but because of the courthouse fires, one in 1855 and one in 1864 {by General Sherman}, most of Washington County's early marriage records were destroyed. Because no other record has been found, Robert's wife remains unknown. About 1837 Robert acquired some land in Houston Co. and moved there. Houston {pronounced "Howston"} Co., at this time, was known to have some of the richest soil in GA. Robert died in Houston Co. in the latter part of 1837. At the time of his death, he still owned property in Washington Co. Since he died intestate, administrators had to be appointed for his estates in both counties. Shortly after his death, Robert's children moved to Tattnall Co. Robert and his wife had six known children: Carr W. b. 1808 Penelope b. 1810 Martha b. 1814 Twin sister to Martha b. 1814 thought to have died young Leroy E. b. 1815 John b. 1823 {It seems to me that Leroy is a very STRONG Thrift name given to children} So that means that Robert then goes back to George Thrift In 1797, George Thrift of Fairfax Co. VA died testate. In his will were the names of his wife: Elizabeth Hurst Thrift, son: Robert, daughters: Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah, Penelope and Jane. His Executors: Son Robert, John Overall, Luke Frizel and Carr W. Lane. Witnesses: John Ball, John Ball, Jr. and Anna Ball. Also listed were the names of 12 slaves. George Thrift was probably a son of Nathaniel Thrift of Richmond Co. VA who died in 1735 In 1847, George Thrift married Elizabeth Hurst daughter of John and Elizabeth Hurst of Fairfax Co. VA. George was evidently a prosperous man and a large landowner. On May 30, 1760, he bought 708 acres in Fairfax Co. from Charles Washington a brother of George Washington {the first President of the United States......................I am assuming but the book does not state this} George and Elizabeth Hurst Thrift had: John b. ? m. ? Jane b. ? m. Luke Frizel Elizabeth b. ? m. John Adams Sarah b. ? m. John Overall Mary b. ? m. George Minor Penelope b. ? m. Carr W. Lane Robert b. 1772?-1837? m. ? Next and last prior to George the book reads as follows "During the first half of the seventeenth century, there was political and religious turmoil in Scotland and England. Because of this turmoil, many Scots began migrating to America in the 1630's. In 1639, James Thrift came to Jamestown, VA. In later years other Thrifts immigrated to VA. Among these were Faith Thrift in 1666. Thomas Thrift in 1678. Elizabeth Thrift in 1679 and Paul Thrift in 1703. Many of the early VA Thrifts settled in Richmond and Fairfax Counties of VA." So there also is a jumping off point to go back even further This is a wonderful book that Luther did. I will forever be grateful to him for his work time and effort that he put into this book. It contains photos galore and maps and old papers and all sorts of hidden goodies I bought my book from Luther out from Hickox, GA at Olivia's Momma's birthday party that we all attended on Feb. 5, 2000 Now I don't know about you but this book was well worth every penny I sent.......................IF your reading Luther thank you still........... It was printed by Brantley Printing Co. 1907 Brunel Street Waycross, GA 31501 Or Luther may still have copies to sell I don't know. The reason for including this is only this: I can not and will not type up this entire book, I have only touched the surface of what it contains........................................ On almost every name shown with a listed marriage there is more BIOS in this book! I don't want to sound upset that also is not the point, but what I am saying is that some of you, who fall into line with this book may want to try and either visit a library which has this book to copy the pages off that you need, or try and contact Luther and buy a copy or e-mail me with Very specific.....................folks that you need. I will do my best to get copies out to you, but depending of amount of paper and ink and such and with the cost of the mail these days I may have to ask for a cost of postage and copy ONLY This is one of many books that I have bought and now own. I also have the History of Pierce Co. Yankee David and Sarah Altman are in there! My gosh this stuff is FUN Olivia it seems like forever ago that I did that Research down in Florida on the Albrittons I can't remember now, is this the Thomas Albritton the same man that Polly Thrift married above or was that another Albritton named Thomas? Good Lord I confuse myself at times, that was a mouth full huh?

Gail, Thanks for sharing the LEIGH-JOHNS info. I saw this wife of William Riley JOHNS listed as Sallie LEIGH in POWG, do you know if Sallie was a nick, or just a typo? I am connected thru the illegitmate daughter of Elizabeth LEE & James Joyce LEIGH or belived to be his daughter I should say. Rachel LEE the dau. Sharon snipped for mercy LOL! >Ok Tracey: Found Riley and Sarah Leigh The reason I did not find them earlier is this: His full name was William "Riley" Johns Gail<

shelia, I show John Riley Johns as the son of Silas c. and Tempie. Nancy Chancy shows up as Mrs. Nancy Chancy and she died in childbirth. Tomorrow I'll look up theinfor on Silas and let you know. Silas C had severral wives. I'm suspious that he was married before hewas married to my grandmother. I have not been able to find out who Mrs.Nancy Chancy is. Silas C died in 1924 and is buried in Brandywine cemetery next to hislasrt wife. Olivia Rd C wrote: >Olivia, >I have John Riley Johns as the son of Silas C. Johns and Nancy Chancy?

Gail, I thank you for what you have provided on the Thrifts and extended.........I have copied and pasted to a word document, so I can sort it all out later.........whew.......... I have 5 Thomas Albrittons in my database. Sheila Gail Moore <[email protected]> wrote: Ok Robert Thomas Thrift b. May 8, 1833 d. March 3, 1916 was as I said a son of Carr William and Unity Thrift.............this is the lady that Olivia thinks may have been an Albritton woman.............but don't go quoting that as this is just a thought right now! Back to the book stuff........................................ Carr William Thrift was a son of Robert and ___________ person of Washington Co. Carr W. Thrift was born in Washington Co., GA in 1808. He was probably the first child born to Robert Thrift. Around 1830 Carr married his first wife, Unity. She was born in 1804 and died about 1855. Carr and Unity moved with Carr's brothers and sister, to Tattnall Co. in 1838. Carr later settled across the Canoochee River in Bulloch Co. In the fall of 1840. Carr and his family moved to Ware Co. with his brother Leroy and John. Carr shortly after this move settled on Cow House Island in the Okefenokee Swamp. He was living here when Unity died of cancer in 1855. Carr and Unity had: Robert Thomas "Bob" b. 1833 m. Allie Albritton Sarah "Sallie" b. 1834 m. William J. Albritton Laney b. 1836 m. Gideon Jones Mary Ann "Polly" b. 1838 m. Thomas Albritton Leroy J. b. 1841 m. Zilpha Hogan Martha A. b. 1842 m. Noah albritton Margaret b. 1844 m. Peter Griffin William Owen b. 1852 m. Sarah Pittman. Then about 1860 Carr married Lydia Partin, b. April 1840 d. abt. 1905? daughter of Robert and Becky Partin. Lydia had helped nurse Unity during her illness. In the late 1860's Carr moved his family to the westside of the Swamp near Suwannee Creek. He settled on land lot #470 in the 12th land dist. Carr was living here when he died about 1885. He was buried on Cow House Island. Supposed beside his first wife, Unity. After Carr's death, Lydia married James F. Jones on Aug. 21, 1890. Mr. Jones had come to GA with F.C. Gore {Wilcie Janes' husband} from N.C. A few years after their marriage, Mr. Jones, accidentally killed himself while hunting. He was climbing over a fence when his gun fired, killing him. Lydia, later lived in Clinch Co. and finally, in FL. with her daughter Wilcie Jane. Lydia died about 1905? while living in FL. She was brought back to Ware Co. and buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. Carr and Lydia's kids were: Elizabeth b. 1861 m. James Fullwood Gideon b. 1863 m. Sarah Etta Steedley Peter b. 1864 m. Elizabeth Steedley Joseph b. 1866 died young Nancy b. 1868 m. Woodson Graddy Wilcy Jane b. 1871 m. F.C. Gore Matilda b. 1873 m. Mathew C Kight Ok then back from there Robert T. Thrift b. 1772? d. 1837 Forefather of the GA Thrifts Robert Thomas Thrift was born between 1770 and 1775 in Fairfax Co. VA. He was born during a time of great unrest in America; an Unrest that resulted in the American Revolutionary War. He grew to manhood here, enjoying the benefits fand privileges afforded the landed gentry of the period. On Sept. 14, 1796, Robert's daddy George deeded him three tracts of land. One tract containing 708 acres, one for 248 acres and one for 200 acres. Robert left VA and moved to GA somewhere between 1797 and 1804. Since the 1800 census was destroyed when the British burned the U.S. capitol in 1814 during the war of 1812. Roberts residence at that time is unknown. {By this for those who don't know GA and VA censuses were destroyed and are not available to us There is an 1800 but the States are very limited in which to search that survived the times!} The earliest evidence fo his being a GA citizen is a military commission he recieved from the Governor of GA in 1804. On Sept. 11, 1804, Robert Thrift, Gentleman was commissioned a leiutenant in the 96th {Cumming's} Militia Dist. of Washington Co. GA. He was commissioned by Governor John Milledge of Louisville. In 1805, Robert Thrift registered for GA's first land lottery; he drew once, but didn't win any land. Robert married about 1805, but because of the courthouse fires, one in 1855 and one in 1864 {by General Sherman}, most of Washington County's early marriage records were destroyed. Because no other record has been found, Robert's wife remains unknown. About 1837 Robert acquired some land in Houston Co. and moved there. Houston {pronounced "Howston"} Co., at this time, was known to have some of the richest soil in GA. Robert died in Houston Co. in the latter part of 1837. At the time of his death, he still owned property in Washington Co. Since he died intestate, administrators had to be appointed for his estates in both counties. Shortly after his death, Robert's children moved to Tattnall Co. Robert and his wife had six known children: Carr W. b. 1808 Penelope b. 1810 Martha b. 1814 Twin sister to Martha b. 1814 thought to have died young Leroy E. b. 1815 John b. 1823 {It seems to me that Leroy is a very STRONG Thrift name given to children} So that means that Robert then goes back to George Thrift In 1797, George Thrift of Fairfax Co. VA died testate. In his will were the names of his wife: Elizabeth Hurst Thrift, son: Robert, daughters: Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah, Penelope and Jane. His Executors: Son Robert, John Overall, Luke Frizel and Carr W. Lane. Witnesses: John Ball, John Ball, Jr. and Anna Ball. Also listed were the names of 12 slaves. George Thrift was probably a son of Nathaniel Thrift of Richmond Co. VA who died in 1735 In 1847, George Thrift married Elizabeth Hurst daughter of John and Elizabeth Hurst of Fairfax Co. VA. George was evidently a prosperous man and a large landowner. On May 30, 1760, he bought 708 acres in Fairfax Co. from Charles Washington a brother of George Washington {the first President of the United States......................I am assuming but the book does not state this} George and Elizabeth Hurst Thrift had: John b. ? m. ? Jane b. ? m. Luke Frizel Elizabeth b. ? m. John Adams Sarah b. ? m. John Overall Mary b. ? m. George Minor Penelope b. ? m. Carr W. Lane Robert b. 1772?-1837? m. ? Next and last prior to George the book reads as follows "During the first half of the seventeenth century, there was political and religious turmoil in Scotland and England. Because of this turmoil, many Scots began migrating to America in the 1630's. In 1639, James Thrift came to Jamestown, VA. In later years other Thrifts immigrated to VA. Among these were Faith Thrift in 1666. Thomas Thrift in 1678. Elizabeth Thrift in 1679 and Paul Thrift in 1703. Many of the early VA Thrifts settled in Richmond and Fairfax Counties of VA." So there also is a jumping off point to go back even further This is a wonderful book that Luther did. I will forever be grateful to him for his work time and effort that he put into this book. It contains photos galore and maps and old papers and all sorts of hidden goodies I bought my book from Luther out from Hickox, GA at Olivia's Momma's birthday party that we all attended on Feb. 5, 2000 Now I don't know about you but this book was well worth every penny I sent.......................IF your reading Luther thank you still........... It was printed by Brantley Printing Co. 1907 Brunel Street Waycross, GA 31501 Or Luther may still have copies to sell I don't know. The reason for including this is only this: I can not and will not type up this entire book, I have only touched the surface of what it contains........................................ On almost every name shown with a listed marriage there is more BIOS in this book! I don't want to sound upset that also is not the point, but what I am saying is that some of you, who fall into line with this book may want to try and either visit a library which has this book to copy the pages off that you need, or try and contact Luther and buy a copy or e-mail me with Very specific.....................folks that you need. I will do my best to get copies out to you, but depending of amount of paper and ink and such and with the cost of the mail these days I may have to ask for a cost of postage and copy ONLY This is one of many books that I have bought and now own. I also have the History of Pierce Co. Yankee David and Sarah Altman are in there! My gosh this stuff is FUN Olivia it seems like forever ago that I did that Research down in Florida on the Albrittons I can't remember now, is this the Thomas Albritton the same man that Polly Thrift married above or was that another Albritton named Thomas? Good Lord I confuse myself at times, that was a mouth full huh? Ok guys enjoy, Luther forgive just trying to help others, Gail ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue & Richard Marsh" To: Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 5:58 PM Subject: Re: [GAWARE] Thrift > Hey I will take either one that you would be nice enough to put in from > of me on this puter. > Thanks, > Sue > ==== GAWARE Mailing List ==== GAWARE Archives: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/usa/GA/ware.html GAWARE GenWeb: http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaware/ ============================== Search Family and Local Histories for stories about your family and the areas they lived.

Gail, You are welcome..........and I will try to find out a little more about this James E. Johns.....I believe I even read his obit in the Waycross paper,,,,,,,,,,,,but I could be mistaken........

Olivia, Thank you, I would appreciate that so I can straighten out my records. I will wait to hear from you.

Tomorrow I'll look up theinfor on Silas and let you know. Silas C had severral wives. I'm suspious that he was married before hewas married to my grandmother. I have not been able to find out who Mrs.Nancy Chancy is. Silas C died in 1924 and is buried in Brandywine cemetery next to hislasrt wife.

Sorry for the delay in not writing back, but my computer has been down. The Rowell line is not one of mine, but is a friend's. I do not have all her info in my puter, but I believe that Bathseba, who was married to Henry Gainey, then to one of the Rowell's, was like her 3rd great grandparents. I was asking one her behalf. I have enjoyed going over ALL the emails. If I have missed answering a particular email, please send it again. Kay __________________________________ Yahoo!

Gail, If I understood Kathy Moody at BC Library correctly, this was another James E. Johns, that from here but that had lived elsewhere and just recently died. But when I go back to the BC Library I will double check. I looked at just the index and it is about 3 or 4 LARGE typed indexed volumes to cross check names before actually viewing the whole information about individual people.........it would take us a year to go through all of that.........but what a great gift and what a great resource to have at the library.

There is an article in the Brantley Enterprise It says that due to a recent death of a man named James E. Johns.......................what I want to know is this, is this James Ellis Johns???

I found him, she was needing William Riley Johns! As he was the one who married Sarah Leigh And I am not real sure just yet still digging through papers and such, but I think that this is the Sarah Leigh that followed her brother to Florida and lived there for a while in Hamilton Co. I have to finish going over the stuff my friend in Florida Mr. Moody sent to me! And yep I did say it MOODY Another GAWARE surname.................................lol Sarah Leigh was his GG something or other Grandmother! And Grannie said we are kin to the Moodys and I have not yet found that link..................
