Hi Gene and all, In response to Gene's post on the Habersham Co, GA census data, thought I'd pass along some related information. But first let me explain the connection. 1. Richard Carney, b. 1822/23 SC + Catherine Queen, b. abt 1826 NC, probable dtr/of James C. Queen of NC 2. George W. Carney, b. 8/31/1852 Union Co., GA + Martha L. Anderson, b. 8/4/1847 3. Ida Carney, b. 12/1874 + Joseph Asbury Sosebee, b. 5/ 25/1879 Union Co., Ga. s/o Thomas Andrew Sosebee Below is information received from a SOSEBEE researcher. Expecting more info from this researcher and will pass along anything new that turns up. Also, we already know from Betty Knight's research, that Meriday Queen, Catherine's probable brother, married Elizabeth Brackett [dtr/of Felix Brackett] of Habersham Co., GA......So this looks like yet another connection between the Habersham Co. folks and the Union Co. folks!. Hope you all are having a great summer. Diane Carney > Isaac Sosebee and Sampson Sosebee were Joseph Asbury Sosebee's > g-grandfather's brothers.
