>I'm passing the link on to my members of the Coffee County mailing list, although I suspect that half of them are already here on your list!! Melody Moore McCook South Central Regional GAGenWEb Coordinator Coffee County GAGenWeb Coordinator Atkinson County GaGenWeb Coordinator< Melody, I know many of us share the same lists. It is a good indication to me that our ancestors were connected in some way, or perhaps they just travelled the same paths. A good reason we should all work together. My Tison line listed below is a good indication of the surrounding counties of Berrien and Coffee and Wayne and others being common ground. I find not only my Tisons in these areas but Ammons and Boyd as well. Those just some off the top of my head. Our new RC, Richard recommended I take a look at a county website a couple of weeks back. He was right, it was fantastic! Not only that, I had never looked there before and found [almost positive] a grandfather on a military roster! I was thrilled.

Sharon, Thanks so much for putting this census on line for everyone to share!! I recognize a number of Coffee and Atkinson families here whose land became part of Coffee when it was created and then surnames from the Atkinson area. I'm passing the link on to my members of the Coffee County mailing list, although I suspect that half of them are already here on your list!! Keep up the great work!

Hi All, That aggravating 1840 Census! I have NOW put it all into a table format, which should keep the rascal from sashayin' all over the page. Honest, it was all lined up on my computer. Well, tomorrow [I'm like Tony Blair, I never know if I've spelled that right]. Lord willing, I shall put the Slave & Free persons of color into the table format and make page 2. Sorry for the ugly way the first attempts turned out. http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaware/1840_census_ware_county.html Sharon

People surrounded her for what seemed like miles and miles! Where in the world had they all come from? One minute she was alone, the next she was sitting amidst this huge crowd! There was no sky; there was no earth. What kept this mass of people so closely grouped together? ...and the DUST! Whew! Between that and the overbearing pressure of the crowd, she felt as though she could hardly breath! Then she saw them, her family. There were her parents and all eleven siblings! Why, that's her as a young girl and there's her long-dead sister, a child again! Over there were her husband and eight children! She looked around a little more and found a few of her aunts, uncles and even some cousins! Everyone seemed to be there ~ a REUNION! Oh, yes! But there were also many, many people she didn't know. "Let's think on the positive side of things, though," she thought. Just look at everyone she DID recognize! Look at her dad! He's so proud of his family! You can see his pride by the way he stands, his shoulders thrown back. The long, hard years of farming show in his weathered face. Her mother looks delicate in the face; those long skirts covering her frailness. She won't live much longer... the doctor said she shouldn't have had so many children. She noticed her two grandfathers by the oxen-pulled wagon. Both her grandmothers and both families' children were in it. She saw her father as a boy! "Everyone is on their way to a Fourth of July community picnic," he'd once told her. To look at them their clothes weren't the finest ~ rather plain actually. One grandfather wears a beaten up hat as proudly as though it were a gentleman's derby. And there!... there are six of her great-grandparents! Those people pioneered this area. Two pairs of those grandparents made their way over to America ~ one from Germany, the other from Ireland. Best friends, they are and what a combination of personalities they make. One of the great-grandmothers was even a handmaiden to the queen herself before she got married! But they all died, the last one 17 years ago, wasn't it? How could they be here now? And just in front of her ... her mother had once told her they were her great-great grandparents from the old country! They look a little smudged. How in the world could they be here in this crowd? They look like they might be awfully warm in those heavy clothes. Her first impressions of them hadn't changed ~ he still looked friendly; she still looked strict! What's going on? she wondered. See those two women over there? One is a cousin to her, the other just an acquaintance. The two young women are best friends, so close you'd think they were sisters. They have their arms wrapped around each other. They once vied for the attentions of a young man, but she doesn't see him in the crowd. Did either of them marry that man? She looked at the two women more closely. Why does her cousin's friend have that scar across her face? Her friend didn't have that before ...at least, it looks like a scar. Some of them had names, some didn't. She was one who didn't. Some were in groups of full families, while others just one or several people. Some were dressed in their Sunday best; others in worn and ragged clothing used for working. The styles of dress of the children was as mixed as the adults they co-mingled with. The old, old gowns of some of the the women ... how could this be? How could these people who had already passed on be here with all these younger people today? What kind of a reunion is this? Whooshhhh! She felt the cool air waft around her. It wasn't as crowded anymore; the dust was still in the air but it wasn't as choking. Where'd everyone go? She felt as though she was being looked at. "This one doesn't have a name, either." Whooshhh! Back into the crowd again! This is crazy! Wait! Who is that? That woman who is standing with her hand on the man's shoulder as he sits? Who IS that??? Her sister! It's her sister! It can't be. She died when a horse pulling a wagon ran over her 9 years ago! What a beautiful woman she was before she died. But she and her husband look so faded now... There wasn't a mirror to look in, but she knew the dress she was wearing wasn't the one she had on earlier today. As a matter of fact, she hadn't worn this dress since she was 18! Dateline 2002: Antique Store, Any City, Any Country "These old pictures, just look at all of them ~ tintypes, sepia-tones ~ all kinds! They sure are dusty! Some of them are in pretty bad shape, too." "I know, it's such a pity that a lot of them don't have names. They're from quite a few old estates. We just took all the pictures and stuck them in that box to get them out of the way. It's rare that anyone looks at them, but we have an occasional customer who looks through them. If we get too many more pictures though, we'll probably have to throw these out to make more room. We'll get rid of those unmarked ones first." FINIS And so it goes, a dusty box of old pictures sits in yet another out of the way place in one of the world's antique shops (or maybe even a flea market or garage sale). Some of the photographs may be marked with names, dates, places, and/or relationships; many aren't. Certainly, all of the people in the box had life stories, most of which will never be known to future generations. If you haven't figured it out yet, "she" was one of the unmarked pictures in the box ~ one of the lost souls. I wonder how many of us will become one of the lost souls in yet another dusty box of unmarked, unwanted, uncared-for photographic treasures. How many of our descendants will end up saying, "I haven't the slightest idea who s/he is but s/he sure looks familiar!" Is that really what you want, gentle reader? Are your pictures labeled? Will your grandparents, parents, sister, even YOU be known to your descendants 3-4 generations from now? Obviously this was a work of fictional fantasy, for we KNOW that souls aren't really attached to pictures ...are they? It's family ... and that's what we're all about. Colleen

I spoke with Bradley Music at Music Funeral Home today about this listing. Shepard Funeral Home of Folkston was in charge of the arrangements, but the visitation was at Music Funeral Home in Waycross so people didn't have to drive to Folkston. Because they were not in charge of the arrangement, Music didn't post an obituary on their site. William T.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaware/ Dear List Members, Letting you know I have just uploaded a special treat from Barbara. She sent me a list of some early businesses of Ware County about a week ago, she was even so kind as to have it all typed up! All I had to do was build a page for it. Which, finally! I did. I know you will enjoy this, many familiar surnames of our list members. The URL to the Early Businesses will be found on the front page at the URL above. I am working on a section now that I would ask you all to be considering. I know we have a Bios page...I have got to go read all those too, so I will know what we already have. 'Time'....where does it go my friends? <G> This will be a section that you will be able to submit articles on family members. It may be some historical event recorded in history records, or family oral history. It will be a special place to share our "Ware County, Kith and Kin". Working on the introduction page now. I am counting on our "family" around here to email me with any typos they encounter while at the county website. It is kinda like bad breath...you'd much rather someone close tells you about it instead of 'strangers' being repulsed! <VBG> Thanks to all of you for your help the whole way. For your generosity which makes it all possible. Sincerely, Sharon

NANCY2 TAYLOR (DANIEL1) was born Abt. January 1856 in GA, and died January 16, 1930 in GA. Buried Moores' Cemetery, Hoboken, GA.. She married (1) JOHN D. DOWLING Abt. 1877 in GA, son of JABEZ DOWLING and HONOR DAVIS. She married (2) HARLEY JACOB HICKOX Abt. 1885 in GA, son of DAVID HICKOX and SARAH ALTMAN. Notes for HARLEY JACOB HICKOX: Harley Jacob Hickox had first married Sarah Osteen and with her had: Vannie, Alfred, Edward, and Harley Jacob Jr. then Sarah Osteen died. Harley then married Nancy Taylor the young widow of John D. Dowling who also had children by her former marriage. Together Harley and Nancy had: Henry, Minnie, Lennie, Nancy and Mathew. Nancy already being the mother of, William, Lizzie, Ivin, Daniel, Jesse, and Sabra. Now Nancy and Harley raised these children up as siblings under one roof until they reached adulthood. Then some of Grandma Nancy's children that she brought into this marriage married some of Grandpa's children that he had brought into this marriage. The ones known to me to have married are: Sabra R. Dowling child of John D. Dowling and Nancy married as her third husband Alfred Hickox the child of Harley Jacob and Sarah Osteen. Alfred not only married Sabra R. Dowling but when she died he then went on to marry her sister, Lizzie called Eliza and at times Rat due to the size she was when she was born. Her 1/2 sibling Minnie Hickox always told us that she was about the size of a field Rat when she was born and that they were surprised given the times that she lived to adulthood. One other marriage between these children took place but the facts are now sketchy Vannie Hickox did marry at one time on of her Dowling step-brothers but we are not sure which one. Children of NANCY TAYLOR and JOHN DOWLING are: i. WILLIAM LAYTON3 DOWLING, b. Abt. 1877. ii. LIZZIE (ELIZA/RAT) DOWLING, b. Abt. 1879. iii. IVIN LAYTON DOWLING, b. Abt. 1881. iv.

Please I am looking for other cousins who fit into these lines which connect to each other by this family connection. I would love to hear at long last from some of my Dowling and Hickox Cousins who I have never met. I happen to have a copy of an old Photo of Harley Jacob Hickox and Nancy Taylor hanging on my wall with Pride. I would be most honored to share what I have with any who share a common interest. I grew up knowing more about Grannie Irene Alvira Nettles daughter of Martin Nettles Jr. and his wife Martha Lee daughter of James Lee and Catherine Miller. I have a 8 X 10 of both Martha Lee (Nettles) and also George Lewis Lee her brother and the Father of my Martha Jane Lee (Johns) wife of Albert Lewis Johns. The Photo of George Lewis Lee hangs in the old home of Randle Ephraim Lee in Bachlott Community................he now has a hole in his forehead where Randle shot him one day! Well he only shot him after he was done dead. So don't worry. You see seems that a woods rat got himself inside the walls of the house and kept Randle up night after night well as you can imagine this was not good for a farmer back in that day and time, so one night Randle got the bright idea to shoot the rat dead, so he got his gun took aim and fired..............all grew quite. He at last got a good nights sleep. But in the morning when he awoke and looked up on the wall of the house to admire the nice photo of his Long ago dead Father, he was shocked to see that he had shot his beloved Father through the head! He was heartsick, as this is the only known photo of the man and he had been left the responsiblity to care for it and here he had done gone and shot him in the head. Story told by: Gail Moore as told to her by a son of Randle cousin to Gail. Thanks guys, Gail

James and Nancy are my g-g-g-grandparents. I descend through their son William who married Cynthia (Cinthy) Strickland. They are the parents of Peter Griffin who married Margaret (Margie) Thrift. They are the parents of Joseph Daniel Griffin who married Minnie Jane Henderson. They are the parents of Myrtle Loree Griffin who married Oscar B. Boyd. They are my parents. I have Alfred Griffin born in 1836 instead of Alford. I have Elender S. Griffin instead of Ellen. I show James Griffin born in the Barnewell District of South Carolina about 1793 and his wife, Nancy Burnside, born in Bulloch County, GA about 1798. They both died at Griffin Plantation on Big Creek in Ware County. GA. Thanks, Christopher Boyd

Cathye, I sure thank you for the reply and the data you shared. I don't know why I didn't think to check Huxford's work before I posted. I see he says in POWG, that the age for James Griffin given in the 1850 Cenus is probably wrong, and that he was closer to 57 than 47 as stated. Also, his wife Nancy was older than the age given. I do not see a Susannah or Susan A. listed with this family there either. Maybe this is a strike out. I just got my hopes up when I saw that he had some daughters in the right age-range on the 1840 Census. Thanks again! Sharon ====================================== Sharon, Here's what I have on this James Griffin, who is one of my direct ancestors. Your Susannah is not listed among the descendents that I have in my database. Looking at the 1840 census data that you listed for the females, there were 1 dau between age 0-4 (that would have been Ellender), 1 daughter between ages 10-15 (Sarah), 2 between ages 15-20 (Nancy and someone else - I'm not sure who since the death date I have for Nicey is 1833) and 1 older female who is the wife Nancy Burnside Griffin. Hopefully we have others on the list who can add more. Regards, Cathye Griffin Betzel http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/b/e/t/Cathye-Griffin--Betzel 1. JAMES3 GRIFFIN, SR.

Sharon, Here's what I have on this James Griffin, who is one of my direct ancestors. Your Susannah is not listed among the descendents that I have in my database. Looking at the 1840 census data that you listed for the females, there were 1 dau between age 0-4 (that would have been Ellender), 1 daughter between ages 10-15 (Sarah), 2 between ages 15-20 (Nancy and someone else - I'm not sure who since the death date I have for Nicey is 1833) and 1 older female who is the wife Nancy Burnside Griffin. Hopefully we have others on the list who can add more. Regards, Cathye Griffin Betzel http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/b/e/t/Cathye-Griffin--Betzel 1. JAMES3 GRIFFIN, SR.
