Laurie, I have many nieces and nephews who graduated from Hernando High. Where in Pasco Co. did you live? We moved to Brooksville about 21 years ago from Hollywood, FL. Love it here! My married name is Brown. But, my husband's name wasn't originally Brown. His father was born in Austria and after coming to America, he changed his name to Brown. We have never learned why he did this. His real name was Joseph Anton Hubert. My husband, Joe's maternal grandparents were named Aspromonte and came from Italy. My maiden name was Coots. My main surnames for GA were, Alums, Burton, Coots, Doggett, Evans, Grant, Ham, Herrin, Jeffries, Ross and Tuggle. Most were in Muscogee, Harris, Oglethorpe, Jasper, Wilkes, and Greene Counties, GA and some in Barbour,Lee and Russell Counties, AL.

And add to the fact that many graves had HEADBOARDS, and no headstones, which have eroded away by wood rot, and no longer exists. Bill

I know of at least one cemetery in Georgia that is now under water. The Harper Cemetery on Pistol Creek in Lincoln County, Georgia. The graves of my Harper ancestors are there, much to my sorrow. See below: >From "Wilkes County Cemeteries," by F. M. and Nell H. Newsome, page 182: These cemeteries are now under water. If they had markers with names and dates they have been destroyed. The names, dates and locations here are from family records, old Bibles, courthouse records, newspaper clippings, etc. Harper Cemetery On Pistol Creek In Lincoln County, GA Dorothy O'Neill -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, 24 Oct 2006 7:39 AM Subject: [GEORGIA] Missing Graves This past week-end, I attend a Genealogy Workshop sponsored by my DAR chapter.

yes I had heard it was done, but not about the records, that may be something somebody needs to check into. delilah ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anne Brown" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 8:39 AM Subject: [GEORGIA] Missing Graves | This past week-end, I attend a Genealogy Workshop sponsored by my DAR | chapter.

I'm not sure, but if records were kept, I would think TVA headquarters in Tennessee should be able to help you. Corporate headquarters are in Knoxville: Tennessee Valley Authority 400 W.

There were eight Georgia land lotteries: 1805 1807 1820 1821 1827 1832 Land Lottery 1832 Gold Lottery 1833 Fractions Lottery The 1832 Land, 1832 Gold, and 1833 Fractions lotteries distributed the Cherokee land. Based on your description, I think you have "The Cherokee Land Lottery, Containing a Numerical List of the Names of the Fortunate Drawers in Said Lottery, With an Engraved Map of Each District" compiled by James F. Smith and published in 1838 by Harper & Brothers. This book has the list of land lots distributed in the 1832 Georgia Land Lottery in order by land lot, with the names of the fortunate drawers. In 1833, M. D. J. Slade published the prizes drawn in the 1832 Gold Lottery. I hope this helps. Paul K.

HI... I am wondering if Bagley Cemetery is in Ware or Coffee Co, GA? Just a bit confused and wondering if someone can clear this up for me..... I am wondering because I discovered William Bagley, husband of Jane Davis, in this cemetery...and also Sarah Jane Spell, wife of Washington Wayne Waters.....they lived in Ware co, GA...but they are buried in this cemetery... Thank you... Stephanie Grohol

There is a Rehobeth Cemetery listed in Marked Graves of Pierce County, but no Bagley listed. Pierce was created in 1857 from Ware and Appling.

Hi Lists: Me again. I'm just throwing my names out there in case anyone came on researching some of them. David Johns(t)on born 1788 in Georgia, David was a riverboat pilot and he died in 1852. He married Hanna Frederika Hoffman in 1840 b. 1821 in Germany d. 1896 in New Orleans, LA. They had one son named Alexander Henry Johns(t)on b. 1841 in Plaquemines Parish, LA d. 1869 in New Orleans, LA. Alex married Magdlena Keissel b. 1843 (?) d. 1898 in New Orleans, LA. They had 3 children: Walter Jarvis, Hanna Caroline, and David McCoy (b. 1867 d. 1919 in New Orleans, LA. My other brick wall is my Keissel's. Peter Keissel b. 1808 in Germany died ? married ? Catherine Clovak in Germany. Catherine was born in 1808 and died 1891(?) in New Orleans. They had 3 children: Catherine b. 1838 in Germany, Magdlena b. 1843 in Louisiana (?), and Jacob b. 1847 in Mississippi. I've found them in 1850 Harrison County, Mississippi Census and then nothing. I then found Maglena when she married Alex and in 1880 I found Jacob living as a boarder in a house in New Orleans and also found his obit in 1893 in New Orleans Times Picayune newspaper. Thanks in advance, Tami Johnston New Orleans, LA JOHNSTON/HOFFMAN/KEISSEL/HOERNER/ZWEIFEL/USNER/ELWELL/DOCLAR/WEISHEIMER/HUCKINS/ and many many more

EB Lamar indexed in Bibb in 1850 was female, born ca 1800, as I recall. Still can't find any Lamar indexed in 1850 Georgia who was born as early as 1750, give or take 5 to 10, and still wondering where these folks were living in the1870 census mentioned. There are over 30 exact-spelling Lamar slaveowners indexed in 1850 Georgia and about 50 in 1860. I don't find one whose given name was anything close to Eugene, however, in any of the southern states. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph Cercy" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2006 2:49 AM Subject: Re: [GEORGIA] Information on Lamar, EUGENE > I found an E B Lamar in Bibb Co., Ga on the 1850 Federal Census Slave > Schedule.
