Hello Cousins, My Wilkinson Co. surnames are: VALENTINE LESLIE TAYLOR Levi L. VALENTINE came to Wilkinson Co. abt 1813. His son, Thomas VALENTINE (1795-1858) m. Rebecca LESLIE. Rebecca LESLIE (1805-1873) was daughter of Silas LESLIE & Bethany TYSON. Thomas VALENTINE's & Rebecca LESLIE's daughter was Sarah Tyson VALENTINE (1820-1876) who m. Robert Hampton TAYLOR (1816-1871) 1838 in Wilkinson Co. Robert H. TAYLOR's father was Jacob TAYLOR (d. 1843 in Wilkinson Co.) Robert & Sarah TAYLOR left Wilkinson Co shortly after Jacob's death. Any cousins out there? I'm especially interested in any information about the TAYLOR family. Jacob is my brick wall. Jane Jane D. Wade jwade@cswnet.com

Hello, I am researching quite a few Middle Georgia Surnames. In Wilkinson County, are 1. the Wrights, of which I am descended from Charles Wright>James Wright m. Elizabeth Sutton>James G. Wright m. Josie Horn> James Oscar Wright m. Hazel Lucille Purvis>James O. Wright m. Janet Nobles. 2. the Suttons, which are listed above. Elizabeth Sutton is probably daughter of Absolom Sutton and sister to Moses G. Sutton. 3. the Horns, also listed above. 4. The Purvis', also listed above. I have a great deal of info on this family, which migrated to Georgia from Ruby, South Carolina. Also incorporated in this line is the Rivers Family In Twiggs County, I am researching some families. I am posting them because of the proximity of Twiggs and as I understand it, Wilkinson County once included Twiggs, Bleckly and Pulaski. 1. The Nobles: William Nobles m. Rebecca Caroline Davis> Jackson N. Nobles m. Georgia Ann Pipkin> Kinch S. Nobles m. Luna Allen> Kinch S. Nobles m. Lois Thompson> Janet Maria Nobles 2. The Thompsons: Tommie Thompson m. > Lois Thompson 3. The Davis' Family, The Pipkin Family, and the Allen Family Thanks for your time, take care, Suzie Minor
