Ok Tracey: Found Riley and Sarah Leigh The reason I did not find them earlier is this: His full name was William "Riley" Johns b. 1816 Camden Co. GA d. 1876 Baker Co. FL. married Feb. 21, 1839 to Sarah Leigh b. 1819 Liberty Co., GA d. bet. 1877-1888 Baker Co., FL. they had married in Camden Co. GA This Sarah Leigh was a child of James J. Leigh of Camden Co. Ga I have no more on him at this time. William Riley Johns was the son of George Johns b. 1787 Beaufort Dist. SC d. 1867 Charleton Co. GA he married about 1807 Anna b. 1790 SC. They married in Camden Co. GA they had 10 children. Riley and Sarah had 9 children If you would like more on this send me your e-mail or visit the GAWARE archives I am sure with my sharing over the years you will find the reports that I posted to others on this mail list there as well.

Yes I know that's what I mean we both know he does good work.................that was what I was trying to tell them. He even signed my book, that I bought that day. How is your Momma these days? I was trying to help them see that there were two men named John Leroy Thrift. Just like the Riley Johns thing, I want to help her but I have to figure out which of the three Rileys' she is after.

Gail, They are both listed in the census, one born cow house island May 29, 1879. the other born in Boggy Bay 28 Jan 1878, following the census the one from Boggy Bay married Martha Jane Batten, 01 Mar 1899, in Pierce County... This is the one I have interest in. He was the son of William Leroy Thrift and Margaret J. Wildes.

Mims Baptist Church in Bacon Co. had their homecoming this past Sunday. Are ya'll kin to those Mims? ~~~~~~~ Teresa Yes, I believe that is the same group of Mims. Would you please give me directions to that church. I've tried to find it before, but never could find it. I understand there is a cemetery there, is that correct? I'd love to go survey it if I could get to it. Thanks Sherry

What MIMS are you connected to? I am a MIMS descendant too. ~~~~~ Sharon I don't descend from the Mims, but they married into several of the lines I descend from, such as Waters, Tanner and Studstill. Alex Mims was a neighbor of my 2G-grandfather Washington Wayne Waters, CSA b 1844. As a matter of fact, Waters sold his piece of property in what is now Jeff Davis County to Alexander Mims in 1885. Waters then moved to the Bickley area of Ware County. I'll send you a copy of the deed. Sherry

The Mount Pleasant Primitive Baptist church is no longer in use. My great, great grandfather, Lewis Jarrell Henderson is buried in this cemetery. The Carr William Thrift mentioned in this e-mail was my great-great grandfather. His daughter, Margaret (Margie) Thrift married Peter HenryGriffin. They were my great grandparents. I attended the service honoring Lewis Henderson by the Sons of the Confederacy. I was amazed at the large number of people who attended this service. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN is written on his monument. (Lewis' wife, Martha Ann Miller Henderson-Thornton, is buried in the Mount Olive P B church yard in Manor, GA; her second husband, George W.Thornton Is buried in High Bluff P B cemetery.) So many people linked in history and lived their adventures on and in the Okefenokee Swamp. God bless their memories as we discover and uncover their lives. Christopher Boyd

YES John Leroy Thrift born on Cow House Island on May 29, 1879. He was about 11 where his daddy Bob moved the family to Hickox then in Wayne Co. GA. His mother is listed on the page as Allie This John Leroy Thirft married Lucretia M. Johns b. Aug. 25, 1881 d. Nov. 22, 1936 daugher of Paul and Georgia Ann Smith Johns of Charlton Co. GA.....................This is Paul Columbus Johns! BTW Ok Then going back in time: Robert Thomas Thrift b. May 8, 1833 d. March 3, 1916 Who was a son of Carr William and Unity Thrift............................ Robert "Bob" Thrift was born in 1833 in Washington Co. GA he was the eldest son of Carr and Untiy Thrift. Bob was a small boy when he came with his parents to Ware Co. Settled on Cow House Lot #72 9th dist. {I am leaving out words and abbrivating as much as I can...................if you connect into this, I am sure Luther will not mind if his cousin makes copies of ONLY the pages that pertain to you and your line and he would love to get your input.............last I heard he gives tours of the Swamp on the Hwy 82 side at the park.............I think I have that right.............If NOT OLIVIA jump in here this is your bunch too} Ok back to what you guys need to know He lived on that lnad until middle age. He was known for his humor and Impromptu stories. Late 1850's Bob married Alice Vennie "Allie" Albritton b. May 6, 1841 d. Jan. 21, 1926 dau. of Henry W. and Amelia "Millie" Albritton. They had two kids: he was then called into the CSA enlisted Sept. 22, 1862 34th Batt. GA Vol. Cal. Co A. Hopkins Mounted Partisan Rangers Also in Co. C. Anderson's Batt. GA. Cal. after war Bob and Allie moved to Hickox, he then farmed, had sheep and cattle and hogs. They were buried in David Hickox Cemetery or New Hope! Kids: 1. Millie b. Jan. 18, 1860 m. George W. Carter 2. Carr William b. Nov. 25, 1861 m. Nancy Dowling 3. Sina "Sinie" b. May 14, 1866 m. David Hickox 4. Baloney "Lone" b. Aug. 16, 1869 m. Janie McBee 5. Wm. Mathew "Math" b. Feb. 29, 1870 m. Catherine Lee 6. Margaret b. 1875 d. at age 8 7. Russell Thomas "Russ" b. Jan. 22, 1876 m. Sallie Crews m. Ora Woodard Robinson 8. John Leroy b. May 29, 1879 m. Lucretia Johns 9. Thomas Hardy b. Jan. 24, 1882 m. Kizzie Jones See the earlier bio for the other man by this same name....................... But yes there were two of them but they were kin to each other down the line. What I really would love to know is this: Also in this same book. Robert "Bob" Thomas Thrift son of Carr William and Unity Thrift, His Daddy Carr had a Sister Martha Thrift of Washington Co. she was a twin.................................Ok she married a Mr. James Holland about 1829 who died in about 1838 or 1839? Martha and her siblings had moved to Tattnall Co. about 1838. So Holland must have died back in Washington Co. or right after the move to Tattnall Co. one. Martha then went on and Re-married to Jesse Jernigan in Tattnall Co. He was either a son or a Grandson of James and Jeannet Jerningan of Bulloch Co. Anyway Martha and Jesse then lived in Cobbtown. The first two or three children listed of her 10 total were the kids of this James Holland.....................had to be based on his date of death. 1. Nancy Ann b. Feb. 22, 1830 m. Alfred Sapp 2. Sarah "Sallie", "Sal" b. 1834 3. Mary no dates listed at all for her My COTHRAN has a HOLLAND line in it too! So ???????QUESTIONS???????? Who was James Holland? Where did he come from???? Who were his parents????? Does anyone on this list know? Hope this helps you guys with these two men. Oh and if anyone needs copies of pages I can make a copy of the title page and the pages that pertain to your research ONLY. But I would be most happy to do this for you so you can have documentation. Luther's book does contain Footnotes.................but it does not contain the sources. BUT I know Luther So he most likely has them he just did not quote them in the book is all. Instead he used his Footnotes to put in additional comments. However, using this you can find the documents I am quite sure. Right Olivia?
