I believe there is another child in the John Croy family. My great-great-great grandmother married a James Croy in Lumpkin County in 1839. It shows up in the marriage records as James Cry but he is in the 1840 Forsyth County census as James Croy. He is living a couple of houses down from John Croy. James it appears had been married before and had children by his first wife. Mary Ann Hawkins had two children when they married. James is listed as being between 40 and 50 years old. He is no longer in Georgia Census after that. My 3rd great-grandmother moved to Cherokee County NC and brought her two children by previous marriage and five Croy children. My line is not through the Croys but through one of the other children. However I am very curious as to what happened to James. Did he die in 1849 or head for California in the Gold Rush as so many Georgians did. I think he may have died because Mary Ann had a 3 month old child in the 1850 census and she was remarried to a Wesley Franklin by the 1860 Census. Could you help me research this James. He would have been born between 1790 and 1800. Thanks, Keith
