NEED INFO ON JOHN BOBO,SON OF WILLIAM & EVY?, BORN 8-5-1839 IN FORSYTHE CO

I have information on Bobo family out of South Carolina, if your family traces back that way. They travel into Alabama and Arkansas also, and could have passed through Forsyth County and left members here.

I, too, am looking for the surname Bobo. I'm looking for ancestors of Silas Bobo who married Minerva Autrey in Forsyth Co Ga on February 7, 1839. Their Dtr., Emily Frances married John Calvin Brown in Calhoun Co Al on December 20, 1883. (They are my great-grandparents.)

Annetta,
I found this family tree at www.family-tree.com sometime ago that lists Celia Tidwell and Luke Gravitt. It has her
siblings and parents. I tried to find it again but had no luck. It looks like it was posted by Randolph J Marchmont.
It has as the parents of Celia - John Tidwell born abt 1765 and wife Celia ?. I will key in a rough draft. If it looks like its the family you are looking for let me know and I will make a copy and mail it to you. Here is the web address
.. you might have better luck than I.
www.family-tree.com/users/m/a/r/Randolph-J-Marchmont/GENE4-0... or go to www.family-tree.com and do a search on lets say "Winnafred Tidwell" to narrow the search.

Did Celia marry a Parris first? in Early GA marriages there is a Celia Parris married Luke Gravitt on 29 Mar 1846 in Forsyth.

.....
If you need more 1850 Census info on Tidwell or Gravitt let me know. I do not have all of 1860 or 1870.
......
Would like to know the parents of Jasper Gravitt b: 30 May 1852.
He married Angeline Irena Crow b: 04 June 1853. Daughter of Samuel Beucie Crow and Irena Bennett.

I have quite a bit of Tidwell information. I believe Ceilia, Lucy, and Nancy may be daughters of Anderson Tidwell, b. 1787 in S.C., and Mary (unknown), b. 1787 in N.C. They were married sometime between 1805-1815, and I have other children for them as well as marriages and children. There is a William Tidwell b. 1821 in GA who married Caroline Gravitt Jan 7, 1841 in Forsyth County. I'd love to trade information with you if you're interested. I can be reached at greybar@gte.net.

Celia Tidwell's first husband was Aaron Parris. Celia's sister Sarah Tidwell was my 4th great-grandmother. My 3rd great-grandparents were Francis Marion and Ann[Gravitt]Tidwell

I am searching for info from Forsyth Co. Census on William Gilford Gravitt. He was born there in 1850. Married A.R. (Alann Rodicy) Huckabay, they had 11 children before he died in 1907. James Pellum, Nute, Henrietta, Cora Bell, William, Harvey, Younger

On the 1860 Census - the only William Gravitt in Forsyth County is an 11 year old boy in the Judah Gravitt household.

This would seem to be:
" 4.William G. Gravitt, b. 05 May 1849 in Forsyth County, Georgia, d. 14 February 1923 in Forsyth County, Georgia, m. 01 February 1866 in Forsyth County, Georgia to Louisa G. Gravitt, b. 19 March 1843 in Forsyth County, Georgia, d. 02 February 1922 in Forsyth County, Georgia. "

This came from the link below. It has links to other Gravitts and back to Obidiah Gravitt.
