Hi Margaret, I did a lookup for someone else earlier today and noticed your Jesse WILSON in the process. So here's the little bit I found: >From _Passports Issued by Governors of Georgia, 1785-1820_, by Mary G. Bryan (this is Special Publication No. 28 from the National Genealogical Society, Arlington, VA, 1964): [page number is from the records, not from Ms. Bryan's publication] === Page 87--Saturday 3d March 1810 On application ORDERED That passports be prepared for the following persons to travel through the Creek Nation of Indians, to wit--one for WILLIAM HAWTHORN, with his wife and two children and five orphan children--one for JESSE WILLSON with his wife and five children--one for HENRY NICHOLS with his wife and three children, all from the County of Effingham in the State--and one for JAMES FREEMAN from Marion District South Carolina, with his wife, four children, two grand children and a neighbor's child--which were presented and signed === Some things to note: -- These pamphlets have index entries for WILSONs and WILLSONs interchanged; from my own WILSON line, I can say that the spelling often varied in public records (or private ones for that matter <grin>). -- The wording of the record may or may not indicate that the Hawthorne, Willson and Nichols families were travelling together. Passports for family groups often indicated that the families noted were moving from one vicinity to the next (and not just travelling with the intention of returning to the place of origin). Perhaps this passport indicates when Jesse moved his family from Effingham to Wilkinson ... just a thought. Some of my own Wilkinson ancestors, Zadock SIMMONS and his son John, had a passport issued in 1812 for their relocation from Anson Co., NC to Wilkinson Co., GA where they settled for decades. -- There were no passports for the other names you listed (didn't want you to think I didn't check them). James, Michael, Nathan and Vinson MIXON, and Jesse, John and Kinchen WEBB are included in the index. Gimme a holler if you'd like their info. Hope this helps, Jennifer >Date: Sat, 15 May 1999 20:02:38 EDT >From: DataProf@aol.com >Subject: [GAWILKIN-L] Mixon, Webb, Wilson > >Does anyone have information on Jesse and Elizabeth Mixon, Wentworth and >Henry Webb or Jesse Wilson, all living in late 1700s-early 1800s, Wilkinson >and Effingham?
