DENNIS / SWORDS / POSEY David Dennis 10 Oct 1998 I am researching Jesse DENNIS who m. Tabitha POSEY in Lincoln Co, in 1818. The only POSEY I find in Lincoln is James but she would seem to be dau. of Francis, Sr. as she is named in wives / mothers estate, could she have been living with a bro.? Jesse DENNIS's father is said to be Jacob DENNIS but I have no proof. The Tax Digest's show a Jacob, William and Samuel DENNIS all old enough to have been his father. Also Jesse came of age (age 21) in 1820 and was shown on the census and tax digest for that year only, availible info suggests he had gone to AL. A Hiram DENNIS and 2 Alllen's came of age about the same time. The tax records show 2 Allen DENNIS's, one a son of William and one a son of Samuel. William DENNIS left estate records but it appears he died in debt and so there is no record of heirs. As to the SWORDS line the families appear to be closely related but I have no proof. The Jacob DENNIS mentioned is said to have m. Elizabeth SWORDS and that seems to be true from what little I have, mostly that a possible gson was named James Swords JONES. Having exhausted what I can find on these surnames I am about to start researching their neighbors in hopes of finding some clues. I am interested in hearing from researchers with possilble connectons to any of these.

HARPER This was shared by Lee Nelson in the hopes of helping somebody The following isn't a query, but rather a clue for researching the HARPERs of Lincoln Co. GA: In Ruth Dryden's book: "Land Records of Somerset Co. MD", on page 332, regarding the land lot known as Pimore, the following entry is found: "23-Nov-1805, John HARPER, William HARPER, Robert HARPER, Averilla HARPER, all of Lincoln Co. GA sold to Isaac Riggen ..." For anyone searching the HARPERs of Lincoln Co., this could be a clue to where they came from. The Headrights Land Grants brought people into GA from all over the eastern seaboard, from as far north as PA (that I've found) and probably even further. Many of the names I see in early tax lists from Wilkes, Greene, Hancock, Washington and other GA counties are the same ones that I see in Somerset, MD in earlier Tax Lists and other records. Hope this helps. Lee Nelson
