I found information at Making of America at http://www.hti.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?page=simple&c=moa Search Wilkinson County Georgia Report of the Joint select committee appointed to inquire into the condition of affairs in the late insurrectionary states, so far as regards the execution of laws, and the safety of the lives and property of the citizens of the United States and Testimony taken. United States. Congress. Joint Select Committee on the Condition of Affairs in the Late Insurrectionary States. 13 v. 24 cm. Washington, Govt. print. off., 1872. I must say it's very interesting and makes me so sad that these things went on.

ANN, This person may not be on the GAWilkin-L list.... I'm not positive, but I think his post may have come over from a message board that "gateways", or gets sent to the Wlknsn Co. list. So, just to be sure he gets your email, you may want to send it directly to him via email also....

Would you be kind enough to post the will of William Mackey on the board? There are many of us who have Mackey and McRanie connections who would love to see a copy.

I have a copy of the Will of William Mackey, 1789-1870, son of William and Hoppoi Miccoi Mackey, Legend from Indian affairs was that Hoppoi was the daughter of Creek Indian Chief Miccoi. Mackeys grandfather allegedly operated a trading post on the Oconee River, before Wilkinson was made a county. It would seem there is a great possibliity of Creek Indian heritage in the Mackey line if not the McRanie. If you do not have a copy of this will, it is pretty informative. This William is married to "Sinia" and his father is married to Hoppoi. In most of the information I had, it referred to her as Hopie Mackey. I can email you a copy if you do not have one.

Thank you very much. At first look these do not appear to be mine. My William and John were in Gwinnett Co by 1830 spelled Hughs.. Sometimes the name is spelled so differently. I think it was left up to the census taker to spell it however he thought. My William reappears on the Marshall County Alabama census spelled Huse. I almost never found this. He was born in SC. If I can be of help to you let me know. Thank you

I HAVE ALSO SEEN IT DOCUMENTED FROM LEGEND THAT WILLIAM MACKEY JR. WAS THE SON OF HOPPOI MCCOY? DAUGHTER OF CREEK INDIAN CHIEF KEITH

Richard - I think it's just a Sr./Jr. confusion here as the post below and other info seem to indicate/support. There are some huge mysteries that go back to the first William Mackey and his wife, but less so for his son William and his wife Sinia McCranie. --- Steve Posted by Nancy Mackey Moss [email protected] Jan 2002 William (Jr.) MACKEY b: 1789 in Virginia Death: 18 NOV 1870 in Wilkinson County, GA Burial: Wilkinson County, GA Occupation: Farmer Wife: Sinia Eliza McCRANIE Sex: F Birth: 1802 in Georgia Death: 29 SEP 1885 in Wilkinson County, GA Burial: Wilkinson County, GA Father: William MACKEY Mother: Hopoi (Rebekah) MICCOI

Also, in the 1830 Pulaski County, GA Census, there was only one and he was JOHN HUGHES, b. 1780-1790....no other males with a wife same age and three females. There were no HUSE families. Both Twiggs and Pulaski were originally part of Wilkinson County, GA. I hope this assists you in your research.

*Hi all: Just got this from Carol on GAGEN email list. It's a great little site, with lots of neat stuff! Shows maps with the whatever town name you type in, shows it on OLD map and on NEW map, and some of the towns even have a little bio. of them (not all, but some) ... it's very interesting!

Surnames: Spier Spear Little Lytle Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/He.2ADE/873.7.1.2.1 Message Board Post: My Allen Spear's son John A. Spear married Lettie J. Lytle in Thomas County, Georgia, in 1867. The similarity of the last names is intriguing... but I have no idea what to make of it. One or more men named John R. Spier/Spear owned land in Columbia County, Florida, with his claim going back to 1826 or before... but one of the deeds identified one of them as being resident in Pike County, Georgia. I believe that possibly one of these John R. Spiers was my Allen's father and if there was another the other was his brother, but that is a hypothesis awaiting proof. Perhaps if I keep plugging away I can figure out if and if, how, these folks are connected.

History. Having ancestors from both Jones and Wilkinson I have some information on both. It shows a John SPIERS and a John SPEARS. possibly one of these may be the one you want. the marriage shows John Speir married a Susan A. Little June 12 1845 and John Spiers m Sarah A Seaborn Dec 5 1852 and then (looks like the same John Spiers) m Sarah E. Emerson May 17 1860. Jones Co. is a neighboring county of Wilkinson Co. so very possible that this is the same one. Maddox Wilkinson Co. History book list early Ga. Marriages and list on page 344 several Spears including Allen Spears m Sara Ridley, Aug 2, 1836. Mackeys are also a very know name in Wilkinson Co. I have some marrying into my family as well.

Thank you, If possible I would like to know how many in their families.

Reply to Demaris: 1820 Census. I have a copy of the census at home. Will check for you tonight. Diane

Tina: Got your reply yesterday. the "pepboys" (my work address) server sometimes gets overloaded - other's have also let me know that on occasion they had trouble getting e-mails thru. Best solution is to use home e-mail address - "[email protected]". Should solve the problem. Mike

Does anyone have acess to the 1820 Wilkinson Census? I am interested in the families listed as Huse on it. Can anyone tell me anything about them? Thank you
