Jeanne - Didn't see that you had received an answer, so if you're still looking you might try the following source via your local library, requesting an interlibrary loan of the microfilm from the Georgia Department of Archives and History. It should be about the same cost (or less) per reel to order as ordering from your local FHC at LDS. To get to the online catalog for the Archives, go to http://gil.sos.state.ga.us/ but, the actual address for the specific search I conducted on "Wilkes County" and "wills" is the following: http://gil.sos.state.ga.us/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?SAB1=wills&BOOL1=all+of+the se&FLD1=Keyword+Anywhere+%28GKEY%29&GRP1=AND+with+next+set&SAB2=Wilkes+Count y&BOOL2=all+of+these&FLD2=Subject+%28SKEY%29&GRP2=AND+with+next+set&SAB3=&BO OL3=all+of+these&FLD3=Keyword+Anywhere+%28GKEY%29&PID=24177&SEQ=200102101126 14&CNT=50&HIST=1 One item this search produced was the following, which may well have the material for which you search.

Does anyone have information on John Cunninghan who commanded a Company of Wilkes County Militia under Elijah Clarke during the Revolution?

Posted on: Wilkes Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Wilkes/646 Surname: ------------------------- Harold died early last year if I recall right. There was a write-up in some publication on his passing.

Bill, I saw your note that you put on the Wilkes County query board - it gets sent to the Wilkes Co. mail list. (See below in case you're not familiar with it). I presume that your interest means you are a descendant of Michael Lawson Dent, so on that presumption (forgive me if I'm wrong) I'd like to say "Hi, double-cousin." Michael Lawson Dent was (if memory serves) a 3rd cousin of my 3ggf John Dyson (John's mother was Esther Dent of Trinity Parish, Charles Co. MD). John Dyson and Michael Dent married sisters - Ann and Sally Heard, daughters of John Heard who d. Wilkes Co. about Jul 1803 (and unk. wife some think was Mary, Mary Ann, or Margaret Stuart). I don't have any answers on your question about migration - don't really follow the Dents in GA, but I have a contact who might have some info - Leon Wilde: [email protected], who has a web site on the Dents that primarily covers Charles County MD, but follows a few, as I recall, and I think Michael Lawson Dent is one of them.
