Mimi Jo Hill Butler - 02/14/05 The Marble Valley Historical Society, Inc. is seeking the family of Dock Franklin Isaac and Ella Cowart Taylor. Dock was Sheriff of Pickens Co, GA 1902 - 1911. When one son died in Cobb Co, GA in 1964, (Davis Ernest Taylor) it stated that four siblings were living in Dalton: Charles, Ernest and Suzy Taylor and Mrs. Cecil Mullinax. Davis moved to Cobb Co in 1928. MVHS Inc. is seeking a photograph of Sheriff Taylor for inclusion in the Law Enforcement Exhibit at the Old Pickens Co. Jail.

Emily Graves - 11/01/99 My great great grandfather Frank (Franklin, Francis) WARE, WEAR, WEIR was on the 1850 Murray County Census. In 1860, on the Whitfield County Census because of the new county formation. Does anyone know who his father was? There is a Jacob Ware on the census records in 1850 and 1860 - same counties as Frank. He is the right age to be his father. Have not been able to find any proof, however. Please write if you have any information.
