Posted on: Wilkes Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Wilkes/636 Surname: Conner, Shehee ------------------------- Jackie, I haven't been able to find any relation to the Conner's in Wilkes Co. The Shehee's from Ireland came into Maryland in the 1700's and then on down into Taylor and Pike Co., Ga. They changed their name from Shehee to Conner because it was easier for people to understand and spell as alot of people had never heard of the name Shehee. I understand that some of them settled in Lincoln Co. aand also Wilkes Co. for awhile. Frankye

I am looking for a Gordon family that might have been in Wilkes Co. in 1823 when a son, George Alexander Gordon, was born. George was my great great grandfather. We are looking for his parents. Census records say that he was born in Georgia. We have no idea what county. The first record we have of him is the 1850 census for Scott Co., MS. He may have been in Alabama or Tennessee prior to that. Margaret

Posted on: Wilkes Co. Ga Biographies Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/WilkesBios/5 Surname: Nichols ------------------------- SUSAN (SUDIE) ELIZABETH NICHOLS 1870 - 1949 Susan Elizabeth Nichols, the eighth child of Joel Lafayette Nichols, Sr., and Susan Elizabeth Wellmaker, was born in the Mt. Ida Community in Crenshaw County, Alabama, July 13, 1870. She was known by her friends as "Aunt Sudie." She married in Crenshaw County, Alabama, January 18, 1903, to William J. Nichols, known as "Georgia Bill." The marriage of Susan to William raised a few eyebrows during its time and still to this day is mentioned in family circles. This is a twig in the family tree that grew back into itself. William was the first cousin, once removed, of Susan. William was the son of Newton Nichols, and grandson of William J. Nichols and Mary Crook. William was the brother of Joel Lafayette Nichols, Sr., father of Susan Elizabeth Nichols. William met Susan when he was visiting his Alabama relatives. He was born in Wilkes County, Georgia, May 15, 1873. When William and Susan married, Susan's parents had already passed away. Though it is unknown what William did as a profession, it is reasonable to assume that he lived his life as a farmer. He and Susan lived on the land that was owned by her father until their deaths. William died November 30, 1948. Susan died in 1949 on April 16. No children were born to this union. The Gravesites of Susan Elizabeth Nichols & William J (Georgia Bill) Nichols Susan, are located at the Mount Ida Church Cemetery in Crenshaw County, Alabama. Susan's epitaph reads "At Rest." William's reads, "Gone but not forgotten." Link: Kendrick Shackleford Home Page URL: <http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/s/h/a/Kendrick-W-Shackleford/>
