Sandy, I really don't think that my Phelps line went to KY. But here is the information I have on the Phelps and Richardson lines of mine. I can only go back to c. 1773 and William Phelps. He was b. in SC or NC or ? but not sure. He was married in SC to Sophia Lee, dau. of Wm. Lee. They moved to GA between 1810-14 and settled in Pulaski Co. GA. They remained there until their deaths. Children: Arthur b. 1808 SC, William, James, Henry (twin to James, d. in infancy), Sheppard Needham, Elijah, Caroline, Elizabeth, Polly. I do not know who was b. first or last. My line is Arthur and that is the only one that I am sure of a birth date. Arthur migrated to Winn Parish, LA and died their in 1876. William Elijah, his son, remained in GA when they moved to LA in 1859. He was in the Civil War. He married Mary Jane Crosby and died in Mitchell Co. GA. His son, King David, was my g-grandfather. Richardson: John Richardson was b. sometime between 1780-90 according to the Marion Co. GA census of 1830. Probably in SC. He married Elizabeth Catherine ? b. SC c. 1780-90. We are not sure of the date of birth of Elizabeth because every census records a different age. The 1880 records her birth c. 1791. However, the 1830 census says between 1770-80. She was born in SC and her mother was Scots and her father was German. I cannot find a surname for her. John Richardson moved to Marion Co. GA before 1830 as he was named on the Marion Co. GA 1830 census. He died sometime after 1836 and before 1850. He is listed on the 1830 census as having 2 females between 10-15. On the 1850 census of Marion Co. GA, only the following 3 was listed. Mary b. 1831 GA, Mahala b. 1833 GA, and George W. b. c. 1836 GA. Mahala is my line. She married James Clark of Marion Co. GA as his second wife sometime after 1864, James was b. in SC c. 1805 or 1809. Parents unkn. Mahala and James had 3 children: James who died at at 21 of fever, Susan who married late in life and had no children, and Ely, my great-grandfather. Ely moved from Marion Co. GA to Mitchell Co. GA c. 1890. He brought his mother and sister with him. Ely married Ella Mae Griner dau. of Emanuel and Mary Eliz. McLeod Griner of Mitchell Co. GA. Hope this helps but doubt it. I am looking for John E. Hicks and his parents. John was b. 1825 KY and moved to FL. He died there in 1878. Children: Parthenia D. Hicks b. 1862 FL and Mattie b. 1864 FL. James A. Acton b. c. 1800-10 KY. Parents unkn. Married Mary Ann Martha Crockett, dau. of William Crockett of Bridgeport, KY. Her grandfather was Anthony Crockett who was sargent at arms for the first KY legislature and a Rev. War Soldier. Bridgeport is located just west of the capital of KY. If you come across these two in some of your adventures in the research rooms, let me know. I am at a brick wall! Believe the Hicks orginally came from VA and the Acton orginally was from MD. Talk later. Nora Searching for: PHELPS, WEST, CLARK, LEE (two lines), RICHARDSON, GRINER (GREINER), BRUNSON, MCLEOD, GREGORY, PALMER, HICKS, BROWN, CHAPPELL, SCOTT, ACTON, CROCKETT and more. All came to GEORGIA from NY, CT, VA, KY, NC, SC. Most stayed, but some went on to: FL, LA, TX.
