ADAMS: My really, really, bad brick wall, is Sarah Jane ADAMS, wife of Robert Elliott, Richard Phipps and John Duncan 'Dunk' Ashley. She was my 3 great grand mother, b. abt. 1825, at Fort Adams. She married very young and had one daughter by Robert Elliott, Eliza who md. Isaac O. Rea. Sarah Jane's second husband was Richard Phipps. From that marriage she had two children, Frank and a daughter, Priscilla. Uncle Frank md. Mary Jane McCearley and raised a family in Wilkinson county. I do not know what became of Priscilla. Any information would be appreciated. ASHLEY John D. and Elizabeth, formally from SC but I am not sure that was their birth place. Thomas Ashley b. SC, md. Sally Day from GA, their son, John Duncan Ashley & Sarah Jane Adams, their son, Willis McCagle Ashley & Louisa Elizabeth Bass, their son, George Neal Ashley and Rebecca Jane Cavin, their son, Lonnie Nathan Ashley & Janie A. Gober. their daughter, my mother is living. I have compiled a book on most of the Ashley descendants of Wilkinson county, and some that have moved away. If this is your line, I would be glad to share. BASS: Louisa Elizabeth Bass, b. 1846 d/o Lucretia Bass. Louisa was the wife of Willis M. Ashley, my 2 great grandparents. After Willis died Louisa md. David Perry, who was her daughter in law's uncle. I have done very little research on the line but think Lucretia is the daughter of Jeremiah Bass. CAVIN John Cavin md. Hulda Perry, their son,John Melvin Cavin md. Sarah Jane Perry, their daughter, Rebecca Jane Cavin md. George Neal Ashley. I have a good bit on the Cavins in Wilkinson county, can't get them back any further. John was b. in SC and William T. and Moses where b. in Tenn. A letter written by an older relative states that they where brother and had a 4th brother that left the area. I have not been able to prove that connection nor have I found them in TN or SC. I have found a Moses and John Cavin in SC but it skips several generations if they are my line. DAY: Sarah 'Sally' Day md. Thomas Ashley. See Ashley line above. Sally was the d/o Jonathan Day b. abt 1770 GA and d. 1838 Wilkinson county. Sally's mother was the daughter of John Trice who left a will in Jones County GA. We do not have a given name for her. At one time I was told her name was Eliza Ann but that proved to be incorrect. Eliza Ann [surname unknown] was the wife of the younger Jonathan Day of Amite co. This is another family that I have researched extensively. Should you be on this line I can probably put your family together for you. Descendants of the Jonathan Day family also includes Randall, Shropshire, McCearley and others. I did a book on this line and it has 27 pages of index so can't possibly name all the connections here. FLOYD: Sarah Floyd was the wife of James Truax, their Daughter md. George Perry Jr. I have not done a lot to trace the Floyds. I seem to be related to all those in Wilkinson county and will sort them out someday. PERRY: My Wilkinson county line starts with George Perry SR and Nancy Rogers. They came in from SC but where probably b. in NC. Their son, George Perry Jr md. Matilda Truax, their daughter, Sarah Jane Perry md John Melvin Cavin, their daughter, Rebecca Jane Cavin md. George Neal Ashley. George Perry Sr and Nancy Rogers daughter, Hulda, md. John Cavin, their son, John Melvin Cavin, md. his 1st cousin, Sarah Jane Perry. I have this line back in to SC and NC if any one is interested. I proved this line for the DAR. PHIPPS: This is a half line, so to speak. Franklin Phipps was the son of my 3 great grandmother, Sarah Jane Adams, but not the son of my 3 great grandfather, Willis M. Ashley. Never the less, they are blood relatives and, although I haven't gotten a lot on them yet, I am very interested in this family. Does anyone know the parents of Richard Phipps, father of Frank Phipps? TRUAX Matilda Truax md. George Perry, Jr. They where my grandparents of my great grand mother and raised her and her brother, George Melvin 'Bud' Cavin, after their parents died. While I have not researched the Truax family I have received a lot of material from folks who have. Virginia
