Pardon the interruption but I was ease-dropping on your message board and thought I might add something. I think GJN Wilson (Gustavus James Nash Wilson) wrote the "Early History of Jackson County". This is all from memory. That book, was republished as "Georgia Blood", later. I interviewed GJN's ggrandaughter in 2001, when she was only 90 yrs old, and still had a good memory. She gave me two hat boxes full of genealogy research which amounts to an unpublished manuscript. I had a lot sorted out before my accursed computer crash a few years back. Anyway, Hilda Bell Alexander, the ggrandaughter mentioned previously, told me that the Kinney's and Alexanders, were "staunch, Irish, Blue-stocking Presbyterians". I have made a few other posts today, relating to these line, that you can check. The Alexanders, Fields, and other of my line, are buried at Mizpah Presbyterian Church Cemetery, on Jefferson River Road, near the Jackson Co./Clarke Co. line. My e-mail is russellfields@comcast.net. Thanks, Rusty
