BARFIELD / TAYLORI am searching for knowledge of Susannah (TAYLOR) BARFIELD (b. 1-2-1812 d.?) who was married (1830 Houston County, Ga.) to Cader BARFIELD (b. 1807 d.?) the son of Richard and Mary BARFIELD.Susannah (TAYLOR) BARFIELD's parents were William and Nancy (PAGE) TAYLOR who are in the 1850 and 1860 Macon County census. It is my understanding that William TAYLOR was the son of Tekkle TAYLOR (N.C.-S.C.-Macon Ga.) who was an early pioneer of Macon (at that time Marion) County Georgia. I would appreciate any other information that one may have concerning these families including brothers, sisters, and other relatives that could be connected. Also does anyone know any information about Cader's parents Richard and Mary BARFIELD who I think migrated from N.C. to Wilkes County, Georgia? Any help or knowledge would certainly be appreciated.

CALLAHANI am seeking anyone related to Armiseda Catherine "Kate" CALLAHAN, born about 1849 in Texas and Mahala Caroline "Carrie" CALLAHAN born between 1850 and 1856 in Texas. "Kate" and "Carrie" were the daughters of James Hughes CALLAHAN and Sarah Medissa DAY.Captain James H. CALLAHAN was a well known Texas Ranger of his day. He was born Sept. 10, 1814 near Marion, GA. In Dec. of 1835 he went to Texas as part of Captain James C. WINN's Company of Georgia Battalian. On April 7, 1856, James became angered over some comments made by a neighbor, Woodson BLASSENGAME and an altercation occurred. A shootout ensued and James CALLAHAN and two friends, William S. "Maulheel" JOHNSON and Eli HINDS were shot. CALLAHAN and JOHNSON were killed. Woodson BLASSENGAME and his wife Mary and a son Calvin were taken into custody and were held at the residence of the Justice of the Peace since there was no jail. On April 14, 1856 a large mob overtook the BLASSENGAME's and Woodson and Calvin were taken out and shot repeatedly. Mary made her escape into nearby woods. Eventually at least 22 people were indicted for the murders of Woodson and Calvin BLASSENGAME. In September of 1856, shortly after the death of James CALLAHAN, Sarah, James' widow died from all the stress. Sarah had just lost a child in death just 6 months prior to James' death. Court records indicate that the 5 surviving children were placed in the custody of a family friend William E. JONES of Comal County, Texas. Soon a sister of James CALLAHAN that was residing in Walker County, GA indicated that she wished to raise the two girls "known as Kate and Carrie". The court approved and the girls were sent back to Georgia to be raised by their aunt. The three boys remained in Texas. Court records do not give a name for the aunt. I am researching this entire event as many of the principles involved were related to my own family. My Great-great-grandfather John M. WATSON took the Blassengame family into custody after the initial shootout. I would like to make contact with anyone related to these families and especially would like to know of any stories that made it down the family to today. I also have a great deal of this history that I would be willing to share as well.

BLUE / PEEPLESMy grandfather was born in Marion County in 1907. His name was Jack Bosman BLUE. I have been told his mother, Mary (BLUE or PEEPLES), and father (Isaac BLUE or PEEPLES) were not married. He was older, married and some sort of politician. I think his name could have been spelled Jack Bozeman Blue instead of Jack Bosman Blue. I also think it is a possibity that Bozman is a family surname. I have got a genetic disease and would like to find anything I can about my ancestors. His mother had 2 other children, Martha and Mamie. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
