SURNAMES: Toler, Lord, Walters, Tarpley, Underwood, Thompson, VanLandingham, Wynn, Horne, McRaeny, Minton, Webb, Wilson I will be going to Wilkinson County in a couple of weeks for a few days of visiting and research, and will be going to several cemeteries where kin are buried: The Lord Family Cemetery, Salem Methodist, Poplar Springs Methodist (does anyone know exactly where it's located?), Walters Family Cemetery, and Irwinton Cemetery. I also hope to have a chance to go through records at the Wilkinson County Courthouse. Does anyone know what I may expect to find in the way of records there? Any markers at any of the above cemeteries anyone would like me to look out for? Anyone researching any of the above lines please feel free to get in touch. I'm concentrating on the Toler, Lord, Walters, Tarpley, Thompson, and VanLandingham lines this trip, but am always ready to branch out. Also, I'm working on a comprehensive Lord chart for Wilkinson County Lords that goes all the way back across the pond, and am willing to share with anyone who is interested.

Seeking information about Corn Patterson and Gillie Pettus who appear on the 1870 census of Wilkinson Co. GA. Does anyone know their parents, siblings, etc? Corn Patterson is age 21 and Gillie is 17. They do not have any children yet. Living with them is Silas Patterson age 18. How is he related to Corn? Also living close by is Ruben Patterson age 10 living with Mitchell Fountain. I guess Corn is short for Cornelius. Thanks for your help. Phyllis

MY EMAIL TO MY WATKINSREV list: This is the line of Cadwalader that a genealogy researcher sevl yrs ago told me that my Mitchell Watkins, sr. descended from.
