Could this information have anything to do with the photo? The Georgia Legislature created the state's first dental practice act in 1872, and also set up a board of dental examiners at that time. Since that time, the practice act and board of examiners has undergone review and change. At the Georgia State Dental Society's Annual Meeting in 1919, the legislative committee proposed a new dental practice act to meet the exigencies of the time. The new act, adopted by the Georgia Legislature in 1920, provided that "all persons shall be held to be practicing dentistry within the meaning of this act who shall charge a fee or salary or any other reward...for operations or parts of operations of any kind in the treatment of diseases or lesions of the human teeth, mouth, gums, or jaws, or extract teeth or attempt to correct the malposition thereof or who shall fill or crown a human tooth or teeth, or do any operation whatsoever on the human tooth, or teeth, gums, or jaws, or take an impression thereof for the purpose of treating or operating upon the same or who shall by any means whatsoever make it known or imply that he will do such operation."

Re: Wilkes County, Georgia Tax Records, 1785-1805. Thanks, Harold, for the plug. All copies of these books left were gifted to two organizations committed to use the profits to preserve the "loose records" in Georgia Courthouses. Both have sets for sale at reduced prices. Georgia Genealogical Society http://www.GaGenSociety.org Augusta Genealogical Society http://www.augustagensociety.org/ I am no longer physically able to pack and mail the books. The above two organizations and the Georgia Historical Records Advisory Board have received all the profits from the sale of over nine hundred sets of books. Secretary of State Cathy Cox and Georgia Historical Records Advisory Board honored me last Fall with an Award for Advocacy at a reception at the new Georgia State Archives building in Morrow, GA. I have received many awards for my work, but never before and award for Advocacy. Wow! Frank Parker Hudson

My great uncle had a bag similar to the one in the photo. He was a retired rail road worker and would come to our home in the late 50s and early 60s. That was his "traveling bag". His wife was dead and they did not have any children, so after he retired, he would travel from relative to relative.

Just my thoughts: This is probably a group picture of the legislators taken at the beginning of the 1920 Legislative session. Men always wore hats in those days and in the summer they wore light colored hats or dressy straw hats, and all of these hats are typical hats of the period (Roaring Twenties!). Even today legislators have their families visit on opening day of the legislative session so some of these people may be family members. The person elected from Pike County for this session was a man named Bloodworth, but I can not identify him. Lynn Virginia Crilley wrote: List members....

Don't see no "eyeball" but there is a scratch on the column, probably not significant - I must be older than dirt, do believe that is a medical bag, long ago doctors carried larger bags as they went to further places in their area of practice, see the rolled papers, the "hats" appear to be like the straw ones used today for campaining, kind of like a band around it with a name on it, got one from long ago, what does the 'stick' the man is holding appear to be, second row down on left, must be significant as why would he have it?

Frank Parker Hudson's 2 volume work on Wilkes County GA -- which had about 40 per cent of the total population in early Georgia before the county government entities were expanded by land from new Indian cessions and by early counties being split into additional counties -- lists around a dozen Cobbs (spelled Cobb, Cobbs, and Cob) in several Georgia militia districts between 1785 and 1805 (the period covered by the book from tax records). The names for this period in Wilkes: Abiel, Absalom, Col'o, Daniel, Ezekiel, J., James, John, Racheael, Samuel, W'm, and Zeikall (probaby same as Ezekiel, enumerated by a different speller). I know there were Cobbs in NE Georgia in later years. Cobb is a prominent name in early Georgia and Ty Cobb, the baseball player was, I believe, a Georgian. The Wilkes County set is a standard for study of early genealogy in Georgia, since it essentially substitutes for the censuses, missing for the years 1790, 1800, and 1810, they apparently having beendestroyed when the British burned Washington in the War of 1812. The author, monitors this newsletter and it's possible he may say whether he still has copies for sale: a 2-vol. work totaling close to 3,000 pages and weighing around 10 pounds total. When I bought mine he was selling both volumes for somewhere around $50. Harold Hopkins

Too big to be a doctor's bag. Looks more like a valise. Nearly every one has a rolled up paper in their hand or you can see it stuck in a pocket.

Just ran across this, is this part of this family ? 01/07/01 Reprinted from a reunion guestbook: Bruce Griffis bgriffis@isoc.net Greetings from Cincinnati, Ohio. Enjoyed your site and great job on posting the Cobb family story. I am trying to make a connection through my gg grandfather: Caswell Seymore Cobb Ferrell. I believe that Enoch Ferrell was married to Martha ? (Cobb?) and they named their son after either Martha's brother Semer (Seymour) Cobb who was in Wayne and Lawrence Co.'s, IN in abt. 1818 and supposed to be b. 1777 in SC, or her father Semer Cobb. There is a connection to Caswell NC to the Ferrell, Dixon, and others that all were Revolutionary soliders. I find a John and Sarah Cobb in Martin Co.,NC with four sons. Dixon and Semer as possible sons. If you are interested in connecting Semer Cobb and family, please conatact me at bgriffis@isoc.net. We have a Ferrell/Cobb research group working on this now. Thanks, Might help to do a google search on this one.

Thank you so muc for this information.I really appreciate it. I will look into it. :)

Another possibility is that the lucky drawer didn't come forth with the funds to "claim the land" -- thus forfeiting the whole thing, and then it was "granted" to another person. They used the terms "drawn by" and "granted to" on some of those records to clarify that. http://www.sos.state.ga.us/archives/rs/lotteries.htm This is a complicated page... but it does give the facts. And from that page it is worth it to click to each YEAR lottery, so you can see who all was eligible, and what lands were involved. If anyone can get to the microfilm or the actual lottery pages, I'm sure there were some errors in the transcription of many of the pages that we now have in published books.

I have no known connection to this Mimbs family. Deidre, This is not going to be a great help, but sending it along, just in case you don't already have it: 1900 Laurens County, Georgia - Jackson District - June 26, 1900 - page 234 157 - Mimbs, B. M., head; May 1877, age 23; married/8 years; GA GA GA; farm hand; renting house Rachael, wife; Feb 1876, age 24; married/8 years; 4 children/2 living; GA GA GA Velma, dau; Sep 1895, age 4; born GA Zola, dau; Oct 1897, age 2; born GA I think the above was William M. Mimbs also went by the name "Billy" which was used for the BM initials on the 1900 census. By the time of the 1910 census, Billy's wife and Felton's mother, Rachel, appears to have died, leaving him with four motherless children. According to the 1910 census information, he had been remarried to his new wife, Gertrude, for only six months. 1910 Laurens County, Georgia - Jackson 1309 District - May 2, 1910 - page 154 - ED 119/Sheet 16A 177 - Mimbs, William M., head; M W 40 Md 2/6 mos; GA GA GA; farming/general farm; renting farm #105 Gertrude, wife; F W 27 Md 2/6 mos; GA GA GA farm labor/home farm Varma, dau; F W 15 S; born GA; farm labor/home farm Zola, dau; F W 12 S; born GA; farm labor/home farm FELTON, son; M W 10 S; born GA; farm labor/home farm Alma, dau; F W 6 S; born GA I haven't been able to find this family in the 1920 census, so there is much missing between 1910 and when Felton appears on the 1930 census of Tattnall County.
