Just a few of my Macon, Jackson, and Rabun surnames. BERRY, STEWART, BRYSON, MOORE, BLACKBURN, DILLS, TAYLOR, MOSES, PEEK, PARKER, ROBINSON (Rabun Co., GA), YOUNG, ASHE, POSTELL. How about half the names in Macon Co. lol. I recently found this poem on another list and since in states how I feel so many times and it is about genealogy, I thought I would share it with you. Carol Taylor THE CENSUS TAKER It was the first day of census, and all through the land each pollster was ready ... a black book in hand. He mounted his horse for a long dusty ride, his book and some quills were tucked close by his side. A long winding ride down a road barely there, toward the smell of fresh bread wafting, up through the air. The woman was tired, with lines on her face and wisps of brown hair she tucked back into place. She gave him some water ... as they sat at the table and she answered his questions ... the best she was able. He asked her of children. Yes, she had quite a few the oldest was twenty, the youngest not two. She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red; his sister, she whispered, was napping in bed. She noted each person who lived there with pride, and she felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside. He noted the sex, the color, the age... the marks from the quill soon filled up the page. At the number of children, she nodded her head and he saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead. The places of birth she "never forgot" was it Kansas? or Utah? or Oregon ... or not? They came from Scotland, of that she was clear, but she wasnt quite sure just how long theyd been here. They spoke of employment, of schooling and such, they could read some ... and write some ... though really not much. When the questions were answered, his job there was done so he mounted his horse and he rode toward the sun. We can almost imagine his voice loud and clear, "May God bless you all for another ten years." Now picture a time warp ... its now you and me as we search for the people on our family tree. We squint at the census and scroll down so slow as we search for that entry from long, long ago. Could they only imagine on that long ago day that the entries they made would effect us this way? If they knew would they wonder at the yearning we feel and the searching that makes them so increasingly real. We can hear if we listen the words they impart through their blood in our veins and their voice in our heart. Author unknown.

While I'm here, seem like a good time for members of the list to submit their Macon County surnames. Here's mine: Shepherd, Welch, Dalton, Patterson (a very small family that appeared about 1895 in the Cowee Valley). Of course, with just those first two surnames, I think I can connect with loads of Cowee and Burningtown families. I'm sure we all have some colatteral lines that appear in each other's databases. I have a small web and humble beginning of a web page that gives the Patterson part of my family at: http://web.infoave.net/~sheppard/kerr.htm "/kerr.htm" because it's really the "Jesse Kerr Project", but my Patterson ancestor, Jerry Monroe Patterson married Julia Kerr, daughter of Macclin Kerr, son of Jesse Kerr of Blount County, Tennessee, just across the line from Swain, I think. Let's hear from you! Many kind regards, Philip Sheppard Listowner: NCMACON, NCTRANSY
Hi all -- Think it's a great idea to post surnames for Macon County. Here are mine: Kimsey, Strain, Reed, Cathey, Russell. Anyone who connects, please contact me! Judy

His son's name was WILLIAM L. JONES, b. 1843 in TN.. I located him living in Monroe Co. Ark, in 1870 and in 1900. WILLIAM's mother died in Monroe Co.. I always figured he stayed close to his widowed mother. I could not locate him in 1880, 1910 or 1920. I know he died in 1922. Family lore is that this family was, at least part native american. If you saw a picture of WILLIAM L. JONES' sister THEODOCIA, you would have to believe it. The question I have is, would a native American in 1870 Ark. be likely to claim to be Black, instead of Native American?? In 1860 WILLIAM was living with his family Monroe Co. Ark.. On the census, he and his family were listed as white. On the 1870 and 1900 census WILLIAM is listed as black. Any information appreciated.
