visit my website: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Lake/8044 Hello All! I had a wonderful time in Wilkinson Co. I also visited bibb, Jones, and twiggs also. Found a lot of tidbits also that I would like to share with you. I am not responsible for any errors in the information. Please as always, remember to verify it yourself. There will probably be more than one email. Watch the subject line for each section. Please let me know if this is helpful. If not I will not take the time to do it. Thanks. These are abstracts from a Book "Early Settlers Wilkinson County" . I copied the pages with the names I was searching, but as You know, we end up with extra stuff as well. I copied this info at the Washington Library in Macon (bibb co.) Georgia. Enjoy! Pat There are tidbits of LEE, LAWSON, LESLIE, SPEARS, VAN LANDINGHAM, VAUGHN, WALTERS in the pages I copied also. TOO LENGTHY!!!! To type…..let me know if any of these names are of concern at this time to anyone. If so I will type the ones requested. I also have the letters "E" and "V" for the 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850 and 1860 census for Wilkinson County. Does anyone want that info posted? Also, is anyone researching the THARPE family? EARLY SETTLERS WILKINSON COUNTY Frederick Dominy, b 1808, son of Frederick and Elizabeth Jasper Dominy.

(Its has never been proven from statistics that Dionne Fordham was the daughter of Benjamin Fordham III and Elsie Miller Fordham….Fordham's will does not mention her. If she was actually the daughter of Benjamin III, then Zenus' second wife Nancy Dominy would have been Zenus' niece. Neither is there any data to substantiate John Dominy had a daughter named Dionne. A story handed down tells that when Lucinda Rigby Fordham, Zenus' fist wife was on her death bed with terminal cancer, Nancy Dominy acted as maid and nurse. Rachael mad one last request and that wast he privilege of naming Zenus's second wife. She named Nancy, who had been good to her during the last days.
