<< ... <snip> ... recently discovered that my great-grandfather may have been born in Georgia, Franklin, Vermont. Would anyone have access to the 1831 or 1841 census of Georgia? I am looking for the family of John EVANS and Electa (or Loecta) HIll. ... < snip > ... find them in the census records or in church records (they were Baptist I believe) or if someone could direct me where to look for such records. Thank you very much. Doreen Guerriero >> BINGO!!! Good news, Doreen - (and anyone else looking for EVANS information). Found the following for you: << EVANS John, and Lecta Hill, both of Ga., m. June 22, 1816; V1 >> There is only one addtional listing under the surname EVANS as follows: << EVANS Salona, of Ga., and Nathan Beals, m. Nov 2, 1856 by A. H. Hunsinger; MC >> The source for both of the above is: "Georgia, Vermont Vital Records" compiled by Peter S. Mallett. It was published by the Genealogical Society of Vermont as Special Publication Number Four in 1995. Both of the EVANS listings above were taken from page 94. The "V1" and "MC" in the above refer to where the records were compiled from. (as listed on pg v of this book) << V1 - Town Civil Vital Records - Volume 1 - Vital Statistics, late 1700s-early 1800s >> << MC - Church Records - Methodist Church of Georgia and North Fairfax - Book I - 1856-1874 >> ---- Took a look at the HILL surname listings as well. There are a lot of HILL listings on pg 130-131. Just one "Lecta"... and it repeats the marriage record found above under John EVANS. ---- Hope that helps a bit!! debbie CAhobbies@aol.com
