Wallace College at Hanceville, AL has both GA & AL 1867 Voter's Lists. Be aware there are Register Books and Oath Books. Wallace only has the microfilm for the register books. Robert Davis tells me the Oath books basically have the same information as the Register books, just on a prettier page. I copied this from the beginning of the microfilm: Secretary of State Dept. of Archives & History 330 Capitol Ave. S.E. Atlanta, GA 30334 Microfilm Lab Georgia Executive Dept. General Executive Records Returns of Qualified Voters Under the Reconstructive Act These volumes list the voters who qualified to participate in the election to select delegates to the constitutional convention of 1867 that would allow the state of Georgia to return to the Federal Union. The following information ws intended for each voter: 1) Number: 2) Date of registry: 3) Name: 4) Number and Page Number of the County's Registration Oath Book where the voter's Oath of Allegiance can be found (See REcord Group 1, Sub-group 1, Series 107): 5) Race: 6) Length of Time a Resident in the State, County, and Precinct within the past year: 7) Nativity by State or County; 8) When, How, and Where Naturalized: and 9) Remarks. As with any record, the completeness of information varies with the official who recorded the data. In many instances the columns designated "Naturalized" and "Remarks" were left blank. These columns have not been filmed if they do not bear information. Otherwise, the columns "Naturalized" and "Remarks" appear as a separate image following that which bears the corresponding names. The columes containing the county returns of qualified voters are arranged numerically by districts. Each county retained a copy of its volume and forwarded a duplicate to the managers of the state Board of Registration. Whereever two copies are extant, both have been microfilmed, allowing for any omissions and the comparison of spelling and handwriting. An alphabetical index of counties and the numbered district in which each was located follows this target sheet (transcriber did not copy) In Possession of Georgia Dept. of Archives & History 330 Capitol Ave., SE Atlanta, GA 30334

While everyone is in the mood to help--I will repost my brick wall. Looking for info on Nicholas Miller 1753--1809 and his wife( m. 1785) Susannah Miller 1766--1809. I have no idea where either was born but both died in Savannah GA. They had a daughter also named Susannah Miller who married Joseph Wilkinson Jr... I have tried to find them in a census with no luck. The same names appear in the census for a mixed Native American and white couple living in Savannah but the ages are way off. Any help would be appreciated. Marge Crews

I've worked Henry K. Allen in Newnan for several years. My interest to him is his wife Lucinda Garrison. Lucinda b: abt 1817/18 in SC and I believe it was York Co. On the 1850 Coweta census a sister to Lucinda, Nancy Garrison b: abt 1825 in SC is living with the family. This is the only census that I find her on, but haven't found a marriage or death date for her before 1860. Will of James Garrison of York & Coweta 1781-1856 has Henry K. Allen as the executor of the will and also says: my friend and my nephew. I don't have parents for Lucinda and Nancy, I do believe that they were living with another uncle Miles & Margarett Garrison on the 1840 Coweta census. So what I'm hoping for is some one might know who these two Garrison girls connect to, which would give me another child for Benjamin & Nancy Agnes Faris Garrison of York SC. Brenda

Trying to find out what happened to a cousin, Charles M HERRICK, b abt 1897 MA, and his wife, Lunelle P b abt 1895 GA (from ages listed on the 1930 Census, her named indexed Luceille). They were listed in the 1930 Militia District 1097, Albany, Dougherty Co, GA. His occupation appeared to be S Ga Pwr? I'm assuming that might be South Georgia Power. After that, Co Dia A?? is recorded and I have no idea what that might be. They had been married for abt 2-3 yrs. Did they stay in the area ? Did they have any children ? GA Deaths list a death date of 23 June 1969 and age of 72, w/ Dougherty as the county of residence and death for Charles. SSDI has bd of 15 Jan 1897. GA Deaths list a death date for a Lunelle P HERRICK on 25 Dec 1969 with an age of 79. I think this is likely Charles' widow because I thought her name might have been mistranscribed for the 1930 Census index and might have been Lunelle, not Luceille as it was indexed. Her county of residence and death is listed as Dougherty. SSDI has bd of 11 March 1890. Most grateful for any additional information. Janice

Kay, This is what I found on Ancestry: 1.)1900 census lists Aggrut Mathison living with mother, Emma and grandmother, Elizes [sp]. 2.) 1920 census lists his first name transcribed as Agset, but looking at the actual census it does have Agret, but I can see where the r could be taken for a s. 3.) 1930 census lists his name as Agret M. but is transcribed as Agot M. Mathison. 4.) World War I Draft Registration Card where he signed it Agret Mathison, no middle name. 5.) Florida Death Index for Agret malcom Mathison, no image available. Do these fit in with your findings? Have you sent for a copy of his death certificate. I saw your mother's death was in 1978 so she was probably the one who gave the information for his death certificate. Also, have you checked the funeral home to see what name they have listed under?

Hazel. What Moody line are you researching? Where were they and when? My Robert A.Crowder married Phoebe Moody, 1815, in Mecklenburg, County VA. She was the dau of William or Arthur Moody, VA. ( I have seen his name listed as William and Arthur. DAR records have him as William) They had the following children: Giles Norman Crowder, b.19 Mar 1819, VA, d. 20 Jul 1907, Halifax County, Virginia - Henry Moody Crowder, b. 09 Nov 1817, VA, d. 19 Jan 1905, Salem, Lee Co., AL - Mary Crowder, b. 29 Oct 1820, VA, d. 12 Jun 1839 - John Marshall Crowder, b. 09 Nov 1821, VA d. ? Henry Moody was a brother of William Moody. There is a book, "Francis Moody, his descendants and Ancestors of 1892", but I have not been able to locate a copy. Phoebe and Robert divorced and he then married, Eleanor Jane Robertson, my ancestor. I do have a great deal on Henry Moody Crowder, as Eleanor and her children moved to Lee Co, AL to be near him. Do you recognize any of these names?

Hazel How true your statement is, we are fortunate when we can connect to others that are as happy to share as what we are. And I do share all most any thing that I find or I have in my files. I don't share any one that is living unless they connect to them in a close relationship. We then have the others that we write to and try to connect with that uses our info on their web sites but never credits where or who they received the info. from and that does upset me. Not that they use it but not to credit the person that has spent years on researching it. ---- Hazel LeBlanc <[email protected]> wrote: > We never know from where or from whom or when we will receive some > information that will break down our brick wall or extend our > information.

We never know from where or from whom or when we will receive some information that will break down our brick wall or extend our information. Just this week, a lady offered to copy some information from one of her books, the section on a Harrison Moody that was married to one of my paternal great, great aunts. I offered to pay for her time and expenses. Her reply to me was she did not expect to be paid, she believes in the saying of "Pass It On". My reply was I believe in the same thing, but use a different saying "What Goes Around Comes Around", "Bread cast on the water, RETURNS!!", the golden rule we learned in school, "Do Unto Others What You Would Have Them Do Unto You" are all sayings that mean the same and are used by more genealogy researchers than any other group. Aren't we a good bunch! !!! Scanned for viruses by Blue Coat http://www.WinProxy.com/

Aren't we a good bunch! !!! Hello Hazel, So very true! Any chance the Harrison Moody you mentioned was the John Harrison Moody (1895-1986) who married Irene Mitchell? They lived in Jefferson County, Al. Bob Johnston

John L. Dowdy born in 1804 in Screven Co., GA, the son of Richard Dowdy and Penelope Lane ( No court or legal records have been found to document John Dowdy's middle name. There is much speculation regarding this, but it is strictly speculation without supporting evidence. My personal opinion is that the L. stood for his mother's maiden name of Lane, as it was a common practice, but like others, I have no document that uses his middle name. Other researchers tell us his middle name is Lottaway. Would someone share documentation for this if it is out there?
