Bunny,I have been trying for several years, to get past my ggrandfather, Joseph Clark Anthony(according to the 1860 TX census, who was 30 yrs. old and born in GA). This census shows the following: Caldwell, TX, Burleson county. J. C. Anthony 30 M Farmer GA Mary Anthony 20 F TX W.B. Anthony 27 M Farmer GA Thomas Green 17 M Farm Laborer TX Robert Green 12 M TX W. B.(William Bryant) could be a brother or cousin, since that's the name J.C. gave his son. Thomas and Robert may have been Mary A.E. Green(Mollie's) brothers or cousins. In the book "Astride the Old San Antonio Road", J.C. and "Mollie" are mentioned. J.C. appointed a guardian for his children (William Bryant, b. 27 Feb 1862 and Mina, b. 1859-60) and went off to war. The Confed. Arch., Ch. 6, File No. 297, pg. 45, shows he died in the CSA General Hospital, Shreveport, LA on 15 Feb 1865 of dysentery. He was enrolled in Co A, 17th Tx Infantry, "Allen's Own". I checked the 1850 census in Wilkes, Elbert counties in GA, for Anthony's there, but find no record of J.C's birth, nor of W. B. either. There were several Anthony's with the middle name Clark. I have a copy of Suzanne Gorey's list of Anthony's, I've used prior census records, used Vashti Anthony's book on Anthonys, and still have come up DRY! I feel if I can get over that first hurdle, between 1830-1850, I've probably got records that will tie me in with Anthony's further back. What are your rates, and an estimate of how much it would cost to do the one generation research? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bunnie Gilmer" <indigo@alltel.net> To: <SCUNION-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2002 4:33 PM Subject: Re: [SCUNION] GADBERRY Family of Union, Spartanburg and Laurens County > HI, > > I don't know if you are interested in a paid researcher or not, but I do > research in this area of SC.
