Kari, Please contact me regarding this JOHNSON request. I believe you are describing John L. JOHNSON (my great-great-grand-father) and his two wives (Sarah BASS and Mary L. GURNEY). However, the family is not from Georgia. It is from Perry county Alabama. How are you connected to the family. I descend from the son on John L. JOHNSON and Mary L. GURNEY, Leonard Butler JOHNSON who was born on 27 December 1861 near Lanely in Freestone county Texas. Theresa

Mostella family in NC

timandpattib10030 — 2013-01-11 03:17:39Z

My Grandmother was Bertha Bridges. Her family was in McDowell County, NC at the time of her birth.
She married James Durant Hipps in Burke County.

John B. Bridges was her father, Sarah J. Mostella Bridges was her Mother.
Some of the siblings of Bertha would have been, Hattie Bridges, Edgar Bridges,Daniel Bridges, Mary Bridges, Effie Bridges, David Bridges.

Bertha was born on 8 Dec 1894, she died 16 Dec 1937 after childbirth. I also know she was clubfooted. This is all I know about my grandmothers family. My father was only 6 when she died and I could never find out anything.

I'm having trouble tracing her father and Mothers family. I have seen ONLY one picture of my Grandmother and would love it if I could find some Bridges family that might have family photo's, stories, information.

jwaters37 — 2012-12-01 21:33:54Z

Looking for N P or Nancy P Golden, Goldin, Golding or any other form similar to the spelling). She was born in Alabama about 1848. Her parents are thought to have been Ira G Golden and Sarah Hill both born in SC.. Although a few of my family researchers indicate them to be Toliver Golden and a Malinda Unknown. Nancy is thought to have married George P Oliver (his 2nd marriage) and they had two children that I know of : Ida Myrtice Roney nee Oliver (my grandmother who died 1918 in the flu epidemic) and Cora Oliver who married Charles W Cherry. Most lived in Freestone and or Navarro Co., TX in years past. Can anyone add to or correct my information and it would be most appreciated if anyone has a picture of Ida and Cora Oliver. I will gladly pay for a copy. I can be reached at:

Re: The Death of Robert Martin

JTLOTT44 — 2012-11-26 00:11:45Z

You are correct. I have been trying to get more infomation on him and I jumped the gun. I see now this one died in 1862. Thanks for keeping me straight. I was just at their grave site last month for the first time in my life and I was raised in Freestone County. Never knew it!!

Re: Tisdale of Freestone Co

JTLOTT44 — 2012-11-26 00:04:41Z

Are any of your ancestors in line with Charity E. Tisdale (1793-????), her father - Haley Tisdale (1768-1833) - his father, - John Tisdale (1729-1813). These are my Tisdale"s which Charity married Josiah Martin (1790-1860). Their son was Robert H. Martin that married Rhoda Virginia Franklin. The last two are my GG Grandparents buried in the Mayes Cemetery off Hwy 84 east of Butler in Freestone County.

Re: The Death of Robert Martin

grandyandpops — 2012-11-25 22:39:30Z

I believe that we can safely exclude this Robert Martin. I checked on Find A Grave and it appears that this person died in the 1860's and the Robert Martin I am concerned about, died in the 1880's.

Re: The Death of Robert Martin

JTLOTT44 — 2012-11-25 21:33:09Z

Sterling, do you know if this was Robert H. Martin? Was his wife Rhoda Martin? If so, both are buried in the Mayes Cemetery just east of Butler.

Re: CHAMBLEE

jscarano3906 — 2012-10-17 16:56:31Z

I hope you are still looking for information regarding this man. He was married first to a Sallie Thronton and they had a daughter- Mattie Chamblee. Mattie Chamblee married William J. Mohundro. Mattie is my great-great grandmother, thus Henry Chamblee is my great-great-great grandfather. I am currently trying to create the branch of the tree for Mattie Chamblee Mohundro. Her sister, Nora, lived in St. Louis, Oklahoma and had several children. I have pictures for Maggie and Alice plus a letter written from Nora to Mattie in 1934.

I’m not related to any member of this family.

1930 is the last available searchable census at this time.

You wrote - "Census shows Lytle with a son Minyard in Alabama census." WHICH census - year and county.

NOTE -
1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships, marital status or parental birthplaces.

Step children are not enumerated as “step” children
Adopted children are not enumerated as “adopted”
Grand children are not enumerated as “grand children”
Orphaned children were not enumerated as "orphan"

1850 is the 1st census that shows all family members

1880 is the 1st census that shows parental birthplaces +++

Re: Missing Headstone

guineamamma79 — 2012-05-11 12:44:57Z

Dear Traci,
We have been working on a book for the Antioch Cemetery and did find an obituary for Ada Robertson and also for Ben Robertson's first wife. Both stated that they were buried at the Antioch Cemetery. I do not believe that she ever had a headstone but a funeral home marker. Mr. Clint Mullen, my husband's grandfather, was working on a cemetery map but passed away before he completed it. He did however have the grave locations of Ben Robertson SR and Ada marked on his map. He was the age that he would have known them and known when they were buried and where. They were the two graves just to the left of the marker for Ben Robertson, Jr. There is a rusty funeral home marker on one of those graves which is not readable. I hope this is helpful to you.
Take care,
Linda Mullen

Alice Chamberlin 1909

Anna Chamberlain 16 June 1866 MS died 09 Dec 1950 in Bremond, Robertson Co and is buried Bremond Cemetery, death certificate says father was S H Bryant which are Sam Houston's initials; no name for mother son Hugh was informant. She had lived in Bremond about 20 yrs. She was living in Trinity Co 1930 census, widow, living with son Albert and his family.

They were in Robertson Co in 1920. S H Chamberlain died between 1920 and 1930.

I have found public trees on Thadeus Sylvester Bryant son of William Grover Bryant and Parthenia J Scroggins. Death of William Grover Bryant reported to be in Knoxville TN in 1861 son of Whitmel Bryant 1800 - 1840 Anson NC and Delaney Carpenter 1800 - 1860 and they married in 1813 ?Anson NC

Martha Bryant 1817 and David Allen Bryant 1826 - 1904 are reported to be their other children. No mention of Isaac in one tree. Whitmill Bryant is listed 1830 census in Anson Co NC. I have found 16 public trees on Isaac Bryant stating he was also a son Whitmill Bryant and Delaney Carpenter.

One David Allen Bryant who matches stopped at Tallapoosa Co AL and married there in 1848 to Rebecca J Harlan and remained there. William G Bryant did marry Parthena Scroggins in Tallapoosa Co AL 21 Dec 1852.

Re: Missing Headstone

2012-03-12 11:13:09Z

Hi John,
I did see her son's headstone when my family was visiting Freestone. He only has the military marker for a headstone. Both of Ben Jr.'s parents are also buried there. Neither Benjamin Sr. nor Ada has any heastone. There is not enough room for both parents to be buried next to their son Benny, so I am not sure who is where. I have called the church group, but they know nothing about them. I am trying to find a map, possibly from someone who did an inventory of the cemetery before the headstone became missing. I am not sure that Ben Sr. ever had one. The only way I found out Ben Sr. was there was from reading his death certificate.
