Greg Adams. I am
searching for my great-great grandparents, the parents of Lewis M. Adams (born 1860 in Gilmir Co.). Lewis
lived in Fannin Co. most of his life. He marrieid a Miss Laura Bates in 1889 and
of their children, I have only the
name of one, Ollie. After Laura's passing in 1902, he married a
Miss Nancy Holden. They had
five children, Viola (Mrs. Clyde Buchanan), Norman, Joe Nathan (married a Miss Annie Mae
Styles), Jim, and Maggie (Mrs. Maggie German). Lewis died in 1957. I believe
Lewis's mother's name may have been Elizabeth and he had one brother.

am looking for Yomie or Yommia COUCH. All I have is a birth year of 1884, and I believe she was
born in Ellijay, Gilmer
County. She may have lived in Fannin County. I need to find

blood or not. She is my Great Grandmother. Thank you for any information.

I would like verification of these births and any
marriages of any of the above mentioned individuals. If these
records exist, I'd like to get certificates. And I would like
verification if Thomas' death abt 1859. I don't know where he
died. The family info shows him as being 106 when he died.
His son b. in NC in 1817 and his
oldest grandson was born in 1847 in Fannin, GA.

I am searching for any information I can
find on Richard GARRETT, son of Joseph and Sarah (STROUD)
Garrett. He married
Caroline Castor LONG. He was living in Union at the time he md. but I
have never been able to find anything
on the marriage information. I believe his middle name was Major. He
was supposed to have been a well known athlete. He was known as a fast
runner. He and Caroline are in the 1850 census of Union. And in the
1860 census of Fannin. His
children were Sarah, Martha and Peter. He died young and I think
Caroline remarried, but
don't know to whom. Thank you.

Sue
Hansard. I am looking for
some history on my Great Grandmother Mary "Newman"
Curtis married Charles A. Curtis 08 May 1874 in Fannin
GA.She had a number of children, my Grandfather is Walter Joseph
Curtis born 25 of May 1888. She was a practicing Midwife and Herbalist.
She was known as Granny Curtis to the public. She lived in and around
Blue Ridge, McCaysville and Copperhill Tenn all her life.How
could I find any verification about this info. Any info will be
greatly appreciated.
Sylvia Sullivant. Hello, Researcher in Fannin County,
Ga. I am attempting to find parents of my ancestor Walker J.
Hughes. He appears in the 1860 Federal Census of Fannin County
with the information that he is 43, a farmer, born in North Carolina,
and a Baptist Minister. His wife is Rebecca (unknown), and
children Miles, Andrew, Elizabeth, Anna, Benjamin, James, Joseph, and
Mary. They are gone by the 1870 Census. Any information you
may be able to provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance.
Georgia Randolph. I am trying to
find Glade Baptist Church Cemetery, Fannin Co, GA. My grandmother's sister, Theodosia
PATTERSON is buried there. This information came from Theodosia's daughter, Eva Collins
(now deceased). Some
time ago I did find this church cemetery on line with a picture,
but I believe the cemetery/church has been renamed. And I can't locate it again. If you live in this area maybe you are
familiar with this cemetery and can tell me how to find it. I find Glade Cemetery, Bartow Co and Glade Creek Baptist Church Cemetery,
Habersham Co but not Fannin,
Co.
Katie Crane. My
greatgrandmother was from Blue Ridge. Her name was Elisabeth HUGHES.
She was born 6/8/1856(I think this is the correct year) She
married Melton LOGGINS. They had 3 sons that I know of Fred J.
Loggins (my grandfather), Lonnie Loggins, and Elbert Loggins. I
think her family was in the lumber business and fairly affluent. Would
appreciate any information or leads.
Robert Fletcher. Calladonna and Louella are found in
the 1880 census of Hot House, Fannin County, GA. They are listed as
grandchildren of Hial and Elizabeth FLETCHER. I am searching for the father of
these children who could be my
long lost grandfather. My grandfather was Silas Pearson Fletcher who disappeared after 1860 and appeared
again in Walker county GA, 1886, where he married my grandmother. He died in
1907 with no one ever learning
of his life before 1886. In the few records found he used the name S.P., Percifer, Pierce, Pearson and
Parson but never Silas. I would like
to contact anyone with knowledge of any one in this family. A male descendant of Hial Fletcher for DNA
comparison would be wonderful. Thank you.
Tuni Dykstra. Anyone
knowing of Tuni and or Steven Baugh, children of Robert Baugh, please
contact pdcollect@cmspan.net
The ages of the children are now 60 and 62. Looking for lost family.
Barbara
Green Bailey, bridgeman32@bellsouth.net Looking for connection between Kasiah GREEN b:abt 1853 and George
Washington BROWN "Littie Wash" from
Hell's Hollow, Fannin Co Ga. Was told that Little Wash Brown was the father of her son John Edward "Booster"
Green. Kasiah lived in Murray Co. Ga. and possibley around the Sylco in
Tennessee.
Keith Jones. I’m the (fairly new)
president of the Fannin Heritage Foundation. I had heard that at one
time a genealogical group in Blue Ridge wanted to combine with the
Foundation, but it didn’t work out. Do you know any details on this?
Would there be any interest in that group becoming part of the
Foundation now?
Mitzi A. Bame. My
grandfather's grandfather, Bennet(t) Brown was found in Fannin County,
GA in the 1860 and 1870 census. He was deceased by the 1880
census where his widow was found in the Hot House township of Cherokee
Co., NC. I was wondering if you had a death date or cemetery for
Bennet(t). I was also wondering if you knew anything of his sons
Elmer (1844-1860+) or Igdore (1846-1860+). Igdore is the best I
can read from the census. [Note: the name may be Isidore or Isadore]
Beverly Scroggs. I am
searching from information on a Henry Scruggs and Missouri Watkins. I
have found a 1900 US census that says she was widowed with two
children, William A and Henry M. I also found two marriage
records the first says they were married Nov of 1896, and the second
says Mar of 1897. But, I haven't been able to find anything about when
Henry died or who his parents were, or when he was born. The census and
one mariage record are from Fannin and the other record is
Gilmer. I would very much apperciate any help you can give,
for I believe that Henry and Missouri are the parents of my husband's
grandfather.
