COOK, HINTON, VINCENT posted by John Paul Myrick on Saturday, January 1, 2000

I need help in locating ANY information, particularly parents of Margaret Cook, born c. 1854 in Georgia. She later married Daniel Hinton and, in the 1900 Henry County census, was shown living with her daughter Effie and her husband Charley Vincent in the Shake Rag district of Henry County. They moved to Alabama about 1912. I believe she may have had a brother named Ben. Her children were Effie, Harvey, Willie, and Lonnie. She died in Jefferson County, Alabama in 1930. Also need information on Daniel Hinton, as his name is the only information I have. Also looking for information on her son-in-law, Charley Vincent, born 1876 in Georgia and died in 1922 in Jefferson County, Alabama. He had brothers named Rufus and Ed. He may have married Effie Hinton in Fulton County. Rufus had a daughter who lived in or near Atlanta at one time and had a husband by the name of Bill Jones. I am at a dead standstill so ANY help will be greatly appreciated.

WHEELER posted by Crystal Wheeler on Sunday, January 2, 2000

Looking for Alexander Wheeler and wife shown on the 1850 census as "H". The Henry County 1840 census shows Alexander Wheeler and there is also a G. R. Wheeler. Don't know if they are related or not. By 1850, Alexander and family were in Bibb County, GA. Alexander was a wagonmaker/blacksmith in later years. He shows up on the 1860 census in Jackson County, Alabama. We would appreciate any information anyone might have and especially interested in Alexander's parents and siblings. Thank you,

ADKINS, SANSING posted by Jerry Gallagher on Monday, January 3, 2000

Does anyone know of a home on the Towaliga River (I hope I spelled it right) near Locust Grove that use to be some sort of a mill? My source tells me that it was owned by the Sansing family in the 1800's and has been renovated and turned into a lovely home. Jerry

COOK, HINTON posted by John Paul Myrick on Tuesday, January 4, 2000

Looking for information on the William Hinton family of the White House Post Office area of Henry County. According to the 1860 census, William was born around 1803 in Georgia. His wife, Mary, was born around 1810 in Georgia. All of their children were born in Georgia. They were: Martha C., born c. 1836; Amanda M., born c. 1838; Rufresha (sp?), born c. 1841; Elizabeth G., born c. 1842; Marianna (sp?), born 1846; Elsie L., born c. 1850; William T. J., born c. 1844; James M., born c. 1848; and my great, great, great grandfather, Daniel W. Hinton, born c. 1851. Daniel was married to Margaret Cook who was also from the White House Post Office area. I believe Daniel had died by 1895 in Georgia. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Looking for information on the George Cook family from Henry County. The 1860 census shows them living in the White House Post Office area. George was born c. 1817 in North Carolina and was listed as a farmer. His wife was Sarah, born c. 1817 in North Carolina. Their children were all born in Georgia. They were: Huldah, born c. 1837; Ehrils (sp?), Martha, born c. 1847; Mary, born c. 1850, Margaret, born in 1854, died in 1930 in Jefferson County, Alabama; Sarah F., born c. 1856; Matthew, born c. 1839, John W., born c. 1841; Elijah, born c. 1843; Francis M., born c.. 1849; Benjamin, born c. 1852; and George W., born c. 1858. I believe Benjamin may have also moved to Alabama, along with several other of their children. Margaret was my great-great grandmother and married Daniel Hinton, son of William and Mary Hinton also from the White House Post Office area in Henry County. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
