Brenda, what a wonderful history lesson! Thank you for sending this to all of us, and to the List Administrator, for it's approval! In the Text - it is stated in Arkansas, crossing "the Bayou'" I just wonder what Bayou it was referring to. My GGGrandfather lived in Bayou Meto - Mineral Township, Pulaski Co., AR., late 1850's. John W. Cox is on the 1860 Census with his family. They lived in Floyd Co., Georgia before they traveled to Arkansas. Janet ----- Original Message ----- From: brenda To: Georgia Roots Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2006 9:01 PM Subject: [GEORGIA] Diary The first time that I saw this it was posted on the Pope Co. Ar GenWeb page and that was about 1998 or 1999. It's been off line for several years, I had one printed copy that I had saved for back up. On the bottom of the page it says: copy taken from the Pope County Historical Society, sure hope this wasn't copyright in some way. I was very happy to have this since it had my Blackburn line mentioned in the Diary and the article saying that Lavina Blackburn was still living and one of the few left that made this trip. I had my copy in my Word file, I just hi-lighted sections and place on each piece of mail, so I would think that it could be put back onto a Word Page in the same way and saved in Documents.

Janet, You and the board are all very welcomed to what I have and I was happy to share it. I haven't tried to track down the map, I've been buried in Garrison research for several years and just can't seem to get off of that long enough to switch lines. And then if I do switch I have to learn all of the names again and I get my self confused, and that's not hard to do.

James Groover and family, his brother and several others left Bulloch County, GA and traveled to Thomas County and Lowndes County and it took them two months. There is no diary or accounting of their journey. I thank you for posting the Diary, it gives me some insight to the hardships. Thank you very much.

I thought the same thing when I saw how many miles (or how few) they traveled each day. These were like dirt logging roads for the most part, down old Indian trails for another. So we can get an idea how long it took to cross one state, how long the Indians spen on the Trail of Tears.

Brenda, I see you are researching Garrisons of Georgia? What counties? Are you related to James T. Lord? My gggrandmother was Mourning Elizabeth Garrison Wade daughter of David Garrison and married to George Washington Wade of Floyd County. Would love to have more information. Enjoyed the diary very much. Mary C. Moore [email protected] brenda <[email protected]> wrote: Janet, You and the board are all very welcomed to what I have and I was happy to share it.
