Hi Jan. My grandmother was a Carithers from Madison co. Georgia. Her father was George Carithers and I believe that his father was William R. Carithers born about 1851. I speculate through the Census of Madison Co. that Williams' father was Russell J. Carithers. The 1820, 1830, and 1840 censuses don't list names of children as they do in the 1850 census, so I was wondering if you know the names of William C.and Mary Griffiths children. I'm not sure if Russell is William's son or his brother James' son. I would greatly appreciate any information you could give me and will share any information that I have. Thank you , Lisa

Carithers: Robert; James; Amos

pjentgens0426 — 2005-08-01 20:37:21Z

Am looking for proof of parentage for Amos Carithers who married Sarah Frances (Fanny). I believe that his father was James Carithers who married Penelope Tillman in GA around 1810. Amos was born in GA in 1814. I also believe that Robert Carithers (the Rev. War Patriot) was the father of James. I have the division of property and estate of James Carithers and it shows that Amos Carithers was the adm. as was James' wife Penelope. He received some of the inventory but nowhere does it state that Amos is James' son. I am doing a supplemental for the DAR and would love to prove without a doubt the parentage of Amos and James. Any help appreciated. I do need proofs. Thank you. Contact me directly if you wish at PPJent@aol.com
