Given my first name HAZEL and growing up in the 50s when Shirley Booth played HAZEL THE MAID, a popular comic book with the character WITCH HAZEL, a medicine WITCH HAZEL and then the surname of PAYNE, "Here comes the PAIN in the NECK, Here comes the PAIN in the BACK, etc. I told my first husband, who's deceased, after going together 4 years, I was really marrying him for his last name (;-} MILEY, I wouldn't be teased about it. Well, he hadn't, but after we were married we became SMILEY MILEY. My surname now is not joked about, but few people out of Louisiana pronounced it. LeBlank is wrong. Think of the 'A' as an "O" and the "C" is silent. It is French meaning "the white". I just have to pass this on: when my paternal grandmother sent my first child a gift she address it to MYLY.

Hi... I am seeking an obituary for Martha Hersey Taylor....the wife of John B. Taylor and the daughter of Elkanah and Charlotte Surrency Hersey. Marsha died Oct 22, 1954 in Coffee Co, GA.... Also wish to know where she is buried..... I would have sent it to the GA Obits one but I am not sure exactly what the NEW rootsweb name is..... Appreciate any help....thank you.... Stephanie Grohol

James Thank you for your response, as we have corresponded in the past I still don't think that your Lucinda Garrison is the same girl that married Henry K. Allen. Per census reports, all states that she was born in SC, with the exception of one. Which I believe it said GA. If your records were correct that would mean that Nehemiah Garrison was a brother to James 1781 and a son of Old Benjamin & Nancy Agnes Faris Garrison of York Co. SC. I have been working this line for many years and the one thing that I've learned from it, at least through the descending lines that I have worked hard is the naming patterns that most of these Garrison's used. And their are no Nehemiah's used for children or grand-children or even gr-grandchildren. I have descending lines down to current people on James, Miles, and Thomas Galepa line, and to date there are no Nehemiah's. Children that I have for Benjamin & Nancy Agnes Faris Garrison are: All four sons are listed on the Coweta Census 1840 on the same page, along with J.Carmichael and H.K. I believe was on the next page over. James 1781 m: Margaret Baxter in York Co. moves to Coweta about 1834 due to Church Records of letters being transferred from York to Newnan. No son's named Nehemiah Dorcas Garrison and John Smith stayed in York, but I have not worked this line I do have her death as Sept 1858 in York. William F. Garrison: m: Mary Hall, William stayed in the area and died in Carroll Co. they had no Nehemiah's Benjamin Garrison: moved to obion Co. TN, and had no son's named Nehemiah Thomas Galespa/Galespie m: Fanny Hanks, they moved to Fayette Co. AL, and had two sons but no Nehemiah's Jane Rocinda (Jennie) Garrison m: James Simrill stayed in York Co. I have not worked this line. David m: Nancy Reeves and I have no information on them. and I believe that he would be to young to have a daughter Lucinda's age. David was born abt: 1790-1800. Miles m: Margaret Garrison, daughter of Josinah Garrison: Miles had no son's called Nehemiah, he also made the move to Fayette Co. AL. and then to obion TN. I have most of his line worked down to current descendants. Miles was a hard one to track down, his name was different on each census, he's been written as Melus, Milas, Milus. I suspected that it was Miles due to several descending lines having Miles, and the Newnam Church records show Miles. I then have a son, name unknown for the Allen connection, this is the line for Lucinda Garrison and Henry K. Allen. they had several son's and no Nehemiah. And if Lucinda was his daughter he would then also have to have Nancy abt 1825 born in SC also as a daughter. There could be additional children to this line, but I don't have them. Old Benjamin did not have a will. And this has not been the easiest line to work. Most common names were James, William, Thomas, David, Benjamin, John. We do agree on the same marriage date. Name: Henry Allen Spouse: Lucinda Garrison Marriage Date: 22 Aug 1838 Marriage Location: Coweta, Georgia ________________________ I have not ever been able to find Henry K. Allen ever being in the war. This is a portion of a Civil War letter written by a Brasher, there were several marriages in the Brasher and Garrison line along with marriages between the Dyer family and Garrison line. Both the Brasher and Dyer families also moved from Coweta to AL. along with the Garrison, Carmichael and Storey families. Sam F. Brasher, 206 N. Broad Street, Tuscumbia, is in possession of an old letter written by his grandfather, Henry Brasher, a Confederate soldier. Sam F. Brasher, 206 N. Broad Street, Tuscumbia, is in possession of an old letter written by his grandfather, Henry Brasher, a Confederate soldier. Below is the portion about H.K. Allen being mentioned. John Galespi or John G. was a son of William F. referred to below. Let me know how many men are going to be conscripted this year. As we came through Newman, John G. got a paper and stopped at H. K. Allen's a day or two. He says they are all well and Henry is getting rich as fast as he can; got some 10 negroes. Henry told them that Jehiel had left for Alabama with four or five negroes and a good deal of money. I have not located this Jehiel, so I don't know if he is a Brasher or Garrison or either.

Coleman, daughter of Henry K. Allen, a native of South Carolina, who came to Georgia in an early day, and engaged in merchandising and cotton buying. He was a member of the M. E. church and also a member of the masonic order of the council degree. He was one of the leading citizens of the county, and his death was deeply mourned by the community. To the second marriage of Mr. Mitchell three children have been born, John, Mary E., and May Bell. Both Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell are members of the M. E. church south.

Thus suddenly passed from life to death, surrounded by a circle of devoted relatives and friends. As a father, he was fond, as a husband affectionate and as a friend, faithful and as a neighbor, kind.

I appreciate this discussion of names. At least with a middle name or just initial of one sure makes research easier. In one line I work on every family, four or five at a time, there is a George or John. It would be much harder to work with the names without the middle name or initial. My husband was not given a middle name, just Adoulph, not even spelled correctly. We just made up a name for a middle name. He was born in 1934, and went to school during the War, he said he had many fights over his name as a youngster. Names are so important, Gwen

I am researching, for 25 years now, the Kitchens or any variation of the name. I have Benjamin Kitchens born 1780, GA. I cannot find his lineage. We can't even find his wife's name. He lived for a time, 1800-1810 in TN. He served in the War of 1812 two terms at Ft. Hawkins, GA. He later lived in AL, then received Bounty land in MS, he died there. Anyone having any information on any family with this name, I would love to hear from. Thanks, Gwen Kitchens Little Rock, AR

Hazel, You want a brick wall, my Music line, John Jackson Music married Lydia Ann M ( all I know, no marriage record,) first record I find of her is the 1850 Appling census, in the household of her father-in-law, Mills Music, with her husband. To date to only mention of her maiden name was in the obit of her youngest son, she died shortly after his birth and John remarried. This son lived to be eighty eight, and I don't know who gave the info for the obit. Probable a daughter. The Obit names her as a Carter. They were probable married in 1850 in Appling County. The only Carter family that I can fit her into was a neighbor to Mills in the 1850 census if the census was taken from a starting point going around the county back to the start. One is at the first of the census the other family at the end. Now here are some other points, earlier researchers list her as either a Hill or Hall. She is my maternal 2nd Great and my mtDNA matches hers. I have a match on my mtDNA and the match goes back to the family of Samuel Sellars and one of his daughters married Instance Hall. I am in the process of trying to find a person who carries the mtDNA of the Carter family, as best I can tell could be her parents, my sister-in-law descends from the family, but she descends from a son rather than a daughter so she does not carry the same mtDNA. Where do I go from here. No marriage record, no bible records, had a time just connecting my great back to the family because the only family record was her name was Ibbie and she was the widow of a cousin of her second husband, and married great grandfather Ruebin Thomas as Ibby Thomas. Th family knew that she was a sister of Mahala Music who married Mitchell Thomas, another cousin of Grandpa. Finnally found her listed in the 1880 census with her family and listed this time as Ibbie rather than Abigail as she was in the family histories. Don't know that we will ever find the documention but would be nice to find out if she was a Carter, and the connection is earlier then I have in both the Carter family and the Sellars family. To proof here would be a match to my mtDNA from a descendant of the Carter family, a non match would eliminate the Carter family, but would not prove she was a Hall either. Bill

I too have Ancestry.com, with what you have come up with. One sister Virginia L. Mathison, other, Myrtle F. Mathison, her name spelled wrong, not Myrtle. Both sisters were older than me. Also, a sister born in Pelham, Ga. that lived just about a month, that was in 1916. First sister born in 1915, second in 1916, third in 1918, and me in Florida in 1920. When I started, I didn't know all this info. was going to be called for, but do thank everyone for the interest. It has been out there for help. Oh, I do have my dad's death certificate, not a birth certificate. He died March 13th, 1954, in Florida. If our List Lady objects, please let me know and I'll go direct. Kay M.

My dad was born in Clopton, Alabama, on the 24th day of May, 1886. His mother was Emma Mathison, dau. of Malcom (Make) Mathison, and Eliza Wright. She was the tenth child of those two. Dad married Mary S. Atkinson, from Georgia, and they had two girls born in Skipperville. Too, I've tried many times to try to obtain church and school records, but none have surfaced. Do have records where Dad and Mother owned a little over eighty acres in Skipperville, and did a lot of Deed trading etc. with the Carrolls that lived there. Family lived on Route "5". It's really been a Merry Go Round. My mother and dad were married in Albany, Georgia. Mother's family was living in Pelham, Ga..

Kay, I wish I could have found something more for you. I didn't know if you wanted to put your sister's name and date on the list, that is the reason I didn't include them. Like so many of us, I have some brickwalls that may never be able to break through. I can't find my great grandfather, Jonathan S. Payne's first wife, Martha E. Anderson's family. They were married in Bibb Co., AL. After her death, he married Martha Susan Weaver, my great grandmother. I have not been able to locate Martha E. Anderson's family. Another one is great, great grandmother, Rebecca Sikes date of married to Toliver E. Shumate. I can't find her family either. All we can do is keep looking and hoping we stumble on something that will lead us down the right path. Hazel Scanned for viruses by Blue Coat http://www.WinProxy.com/
