Stallings, Bankston, Sterling, Stelling(s)

Gene Sterling ( poohandpoet@earthlink.net ) is researching the above surnames. 


  There vast numbers of seekers of information about my ancestral family. Originating in VA, its descendents took varied routs in their respective westward migrations. 

The branch from which I sprang took a southern rout through GA, AL, MS, LA, TX and points beyond. I had been informed that Reuben Stallings had married Francis (Fanny) Bankston in Jasper County.  
. My research via the net has led me to conclude that Reuben was the son of Malachi Stallings who appears to have died in Greene Co. in/after 1803. 

Reuben and Fanny, et al lived out their last days in Clarke Co. MS. Their sojourn there is responsible for my legal surname. In MS, the name STALLINGS is pronounced (both then and now) STELLINGS with the final 's' elided more often than not. I the 1870 census, the Stelling pronunciation was rendered as Sterling. And although Jeptha (my great grandfather) corrected the spelling in 1880, his sons all adopted the census-taker's 1870 rendering. 

Please contact Gene is you have information on these families


Harvey

Diana Light, ( diana.light@rocketmail.com ) is researching the Harvey surname.
 
  
I am seeking information of a possible early marriage and children for Nehemiah HARVEY (b. 1780), brother of Zephaniah 
HARVEY (d. 1832). This Nehemiah appears to be the one who married Sarah Ard in MS in 1816. There is another Nehemiah 
HARVEY (born about 1800) who lived in Fayette Co., AL. Evidence is that this second Nehemiah was associated with 
Hezekiah JOHNSON and DAVIS and other HARVEY family members from Jasper Co., GA. My interest is in finding any evidence 
that the elder Nehemiah may have had a first family in GA before moving to MS, including whether the younger Nehemiah 
may have been his son. Court records indicate that the elder Nehemiah suffered repeated debts, at least one of which 
Zephaniah signed for, and that he may have skipped out by 1815. Many thanks for any clues! 


Please contact Diana if you have information on this family.


Holland

Jay Holland ( jaylu100@earthlink.net ) is researching the Holland surname

Trying to find out if any one knows were Isaac W. T. Holland is buried.  He was born March 31 1826 and died June 18 1894.  The Morgan Co. newspaper said he was buried beside his mother and father in Jasper Co. There is no marker in the Holland graveyard outside Monticello,  could there be another Holland graveyard? His father is Lawson S. Holland born June 5 1786 and died July 8 1850 he is also a civil war vet. If any one has any info please let me know.

Please contact Jay if you have information on this family.


Horton, Rivers
Bob Horton  rhorton940@cox.net is researching the above surnames. 

I am searching for any information on Edmond Jackson Horton. Information I have shows he married Elizabeth Green Rivers in Jasper County GA on 27 March 1836. I have not been able to confirm this with information on the Jasper County Web site. I am trying to establish a link, if there is one, between Edmond Jackson and Elisha Horton. Elisha shows up on early census with a male in the household about the age I would expect Edmond Jackson to be. I had a birth date (unconfirmed) for Edmond of 1815.
A John Rivers (shows up on page 29 of the 1820 census with a female in the household the same age Elizabeth (b. 1811) would have been. John Rivers was the name of Elizabeth's father. I am trying to get any information on Elisha. Wife's name/children's name(s)/when they arrived in GA/from where/etc. Mostly I am just trying to establish a link between Elisha and Edmond, if there is one.

Please contact Bob if you have information on this family.


 
TYLER, GOOLSBY

Gloria Tyler Taylor is researching the Tyler and Goolsby surnames from Jasper County.  The following is the information she has and needs. 

Please email her at ( Glovonne@aol.com ) if you have information on this family. 

I have reason to believe that my grandfather, William Henry Tyler born in 1824 in Ga., was one of the sons of William Tyler(born 1790) and Elizabeth Goolsby (born 1790) of Jasper County, GA.. I am thinking seriously of using Y-DNA analysis to add to my research and further prove my conclusion. 
I would like to be in touch with any male descendant of this family and see if possibly they have had this test done or would be willing to do so. In turn, I would compare the results with a male descendant of William Henry Tyler and hopefully prove my connection to this family..
Male children of William and Elizabeth:

Jobe M. Tyler Sr., married Candice Wise and later Mary Kinard 
Their sons:
Jobe M. Tyler Jr.
John J. Tyler
George Washington Tyler
Barnabus F. Tyler
Martin V. B. Tyler
Thomas Jobe Tyler
Henry Slayton Tyler

George Washington Tyler Sr. married Sarah Mosley
Their sons:
James Washington Tyler
Robert S. Tyler
Louis M. Tyler
George Washington Tyler Jr.
John Franklin Tyler
Jobe Tyler
William and Elizabeth Tyler also had a son Franklin, another son who I suspect was a James, and then my grandfather William Henry (if it proves to be correct). They had about five daughters. Some of their married names were possibly Willingham, Germain, and Lucas.( At this time I am only interested to the males of the family.) 
The names listed would have been generations back but perhaps there is someone that has kept information about this family over the years.. I would appreciate their help and would certainly share any information that I have gathered about this branch of Tylers.


PARK OR PARKS

 Lynn Griffin ( roadhoglynn@yahoo.com ) is researching the Park or Parks surnames. 


 Wm. Park b. NC in 1805 probably moved to GA, possibly Jasper Co., as a child. He married Almira Catherine Kendrick in 1833, lived in Pike & Upson Co. and then in 1862-3 he moved to Jasper Co., bought land & died there, I presume, Dec. 16, 1864. Almira died 1 mo. later leaving 2 under age sons. Francis M. was 17 or 18 & chose Carrington Pitts as his guardian, whose daughter he later married. Quedalous Smith (Dallas), my great grandfather. was 6 & his sister & husband Elizabeth & Charles Lane of Shady Dale became his guardian.
Dallas married Celeste Eugene Dennis in 1888 & they lived in Monticello. My father  was b. 6 Sept. 1901 & in 1908 Dallas died. He & my great grandmother are buried in West View Cemetery. Have been told he was a brick mason & help rebuild the town after the 1877 fire. Any info. would be appreciated about either Wm. or Dallas.

I am researching the descendants of Susannah Dickie Chappell Compton (1786 VA- 1874 GA) and Jordan Compton (unk- May 30, 1864 GA).

In 1852 he moved to Texas. We do not know who his parents were nor any of his siblings. We think his father may have been Benjamin 
Duke.. Any help would be appreciated.  


BARCLAY, HEARN, HARRISON, JOHNSTON, MCDANIEL, MAYS, PHELPS, MCDANIEL, SANDERS, SMITH

Jerry Phelps is researching these surnames.  Please contact him at jhphelps1@comcast.net if you have information on these families. 

Here is the information he has: 

I am researching the Phelps Families of Jasper County, GA. They descend from Scotch-Irish ancestors who came to the Colonies from 
Ireland via Barbados to Baltimore MD. Avinton Felps being the 1st born in this country. Avinton moved to NC in 1700’s.

Avinton’s oldest son, Aquilla, came to GA in the early 1770’s with his 5 sons. Aquilla returned to NC after the Rev War but his sons 
stayed. His sons: William died in Richmond in 1783 (possibly in the Rev War) William’s son, David D. Felps served in the Rev War(from 
GA). Thomas: served in Rev War (from GA).

Thomas and William both named their first sons Aquilla, after their father. Both Aquillas, Aquilla Aventon Phelps, son of William, and 
Aquilla Philip Phelps, son of Thomas, ended up in Jasper County GA. Aquilla Aventon died there in 1853, Aquilla Philip move to Floyd 
County.

Aquilla’s granddaughter, Elizabeth Smith Brown was married to Brown Sanders. Their son, W.E. Sanders was Mayor of Forsyth, GA in the 
1890’s.

Elizabeth and Brown Sanders were still living on the old Phelps plantation around 1900. I have been trying to find the site. 

I would like to locate Aquilla Aventon Phelps old home site and find all the families of Aquilla’s daughters. They married William 
Barclay, Joseph G. Porter, William Johnston, McDaniel (Jacob Jr.), John B. Smith, Lorenzo D. Harrison, Andrew Green Mays.

James Johnson and Jubil Cochran were executors on Aqilla’s will. It looks like the old Phelps Place was between the Spears and the 
Tolands but I can’t nail it down. After the 1850’s, I cannot locate any of Aquilla’s daughters or son G.W. Phelps. Aquilla’s grandson, 
William Hearn Phelps moved to McNairy TN (my line). The Hearn middle name may come from the Hearns in Jasper County. William 
Hearn Phelps (my g.g. grandfather) was born in Jasper County and was raised by Aquilla. William Hearn named one of his sons Jubil 
Cochran Phelps.

 My g. grandfather was born in Harris County GA. I had six 
generations of my family live in Jasper County.


COX, ODEN

Nan Crawford is researching these surnames.  She is looking for information about Middleton W. Cox, born 8/8/1820, location unknown, 

married 6/6/1839 to Louisa Bussey Oden in Jasper County, Georgia, died 3/16/1849 in Jasper County. 

She is a direct descendant of Middleton Cox.

Please contact her at feltingfrenzy@earthlink.net


   Stalnaker

 Beth Conatser   ( bethconatser@twlakes.net ) is researching the above surname.  Her 3rd great grandfather  
was Richard Robert Stalnaker(Stonicker, Stolnaker, Stanecher).  She is trying to find out who his parents were.  
 He was born in 1823 in Jasper County Georgia..  .He married Sarah Blackburn in Troup County in 1844, on 
the certificate he is listed as Robert Stonicker  .She believes his brother (no proof) was Adam W. Stalnaker married Kitty Gregory 
8-1844 in Randolph County Alabama...(adjacent to Troup)...Also has found a Benjamin Stalnaker record from 1827 Ga Land Lottery. awarded 
121 acres in Troup, he was a resident of Butts County at that time..she feels like this may be the father of Richard, but no 
proof...Richard , Adam, and another possible brother also named Benjamin left Ga and moved to northern Mississippi and all 3 joined 
the Confederacy the same day, plus census in Ms show they lived very close, making me think they were brothers...Also Adam was issued a 
furlough when Richard died, furthermore making me feel they are brothers. 

Please email Beth if you have information on this family.


Gilstrap, Brown


jgnealy1986@yahoo.com
  is researching these surnames.  Her ancestors,
 Frank Gilstrap and Easter, were owned by John 
Gilstrap. She would like to know  whether or not anyone had any 
information on her ancestors or the family that owned them.


Also, I have two more ancestors...Joshua Brown and 
Matilda...they had a son named Peter Choyce...and I was 
looking to see if there is any information on them or who 
owned them.


The time period seems to be somewhere between 1790-1835.

Please contact her at jgnealy1986@yahoo.com 


King, Tillman, McGehee/McGee, Hattaway/Hadaway


Janet King Sikes  ( jabosikeo@aol.com ) is researching these surnames. 

She found  an original will in the GA Archives dated, Aug. 16, 1849 for Dolly King in Jasper, GA. Her research first indicated that she and 
Richard King  had only two sons, George W. and William J. King but this will also lists her daughters, as 
Elizabeth Tillman, Sarah Hattaway and Mary Hattaway and Letty McGee. I think that maybe Elizabeth King is the first wife of John "Jack" 
Tillman. The 1850 USFC lists his wife as Pheby but she may be his second wife.   Elizabeth may died after the birth 
of their son, Richard, born abt. 1845 and he married Pheby between then and 1850. Elizabeth and John possibly had six children. 
Elizabeth, Martha Ann, Mary Ann, George W., John T. and Richard Tillman. I have been able to follow up on most of the children 
except John. I have been on Ancestry World Tree Project that lists a John Harrison Tillman but the 1870 USFC clearly lists him as "John 
T." Tillman.

Richard Shorter Ricketts. He is  searching for his grave. He was born 6-26-1812 and died 1-21 1886.

The 1880 census shows them living in district 300 Jones County, Ga.

The 1900 census shows Nancy Ricketts living in (Minter and Gilstrap District) Jasper county Ga., with Joseph Ricketts (her 
youngest son) after Richard's death in 1886. He may  have moved to Jasper co. with them before his death.
 Any help would be appreciated.
  

Please contact Joseph if you have information on this family. 



Farrar, Webb


Boots Farrar is researching these surnames.  He is the ggg grandson of   Thomas Jefferson Farrar and  Judith 
Webb who married in  1814 Jasper Co.  ( some transcriptions show
the name was spelled Farrow, however a family bible clearly shows that 
it was Thomas Jefferson Farrar, his brother Henry Lansford Farrar 
married a Sally Farrar in 1811 in the same County.

He assumes that the girls were sisters or cousins. The Farrar's were born 
in South Carolina, and migrated to Perry Co Alabama circa 1816-1818., after 
stopping in Jasper Co. Ga.

He is looking for information about  the Webb girls and their parents?. There are three candidates in the 1820 Census (all over 45 
years of age) Edward, James and John Webb.

There is no record of any Farrar's in the census of 1820. His great grandfather was born in Union Parish, LA in 1850, his 
father William Thomas Farrar lived in union parish (with his brothers and cousins) until 1855, but he was not enumerated 
although his brothers were.

The father of Henry Lansford Farrar and Thomas Jefferson Farrar was a Stephen David 
Farrar. Henry and Thomas were born in South Carolina, Stephen David Farrar was born either in North Carolina or Virginia.

He has  found a Stephen D Farrar in the 1820 Census of Morgan County, Capt Shaw's District, but this Stephen D. Farrar is too young to 
be the father of Thomas and Henry. There is also a Thomas Jefferson Farrow in Morgan County, Ga in Capt Farrows District 
in the 1820 Census, but he is too old to be his ancestor.

Please contact Boots at cewenzel@verison.net if you have information on these surnames

over from Holland on a ship, was preacher, and married his first wife on the ship coming over. The first wife 
was from Ireland. He is buried along with his four wives in the Zebulon Baptist Church Cemetery in Dodge

Holland, Binford, Bates


Donna Holland Hornback ( dkbeachcity@hotmail.com ) is researching these surnames.

Walter F. Holland married Sarah Binford June 26, 1861 (Jasper County).   He is the son of Richard and Louisa E. Bates Holland. (great-grandparents) Walter Frank would be a brother to her great grandfather Richard Henry Lee Holland. 
 Richard Holland was born about 1820 in North Carolina, married Louisa E. Bates, they are found in 1850 Cherokee County, Alabama and 1860 Cherokee Co, Ga census.  No trace of Richard after that.  Walter and Sarah, along with Louisa Holland are found 1870 and 1880 Indiana census.   The children of Walter and Sarah Holland are later found back in Jasper County.  Sarah Binford is found in 1850 and 1860 Jasper County census with Henry and Philadelphia Benford.  Henry Benford and family are found in 1870 in Shady Dale, Wyatt's district.  Would like to find information on the Holland families of Jonas, Alexander S, Lawson, James H. or any other Holland families found in Jasper County and on any Benford/Binford families.  

Her question has always been....Who are the parents of Richard Holland born abt. 1820 NC? She has found several Holland 
families in Jasper County. Walter and Sarah Holland went North to Indiana and are on the 1870 census along with Walter's mother. 1880 shows that Walter is in the 'Poor House' and his family is also still in Indiana. Information shows that Sarah brought her family back to Jasper County, and some of that line still live in Jasper county. If there are any of the descendants of these families currently living in Jasper County, would like to get in touch with them.

Other lines are found in Missouri. Her great grandfather Richard Henry Lee Holland is found in Missouri, 
Indian Territory and Texas. We think that he also was a preacher. 

Please contact  Donna if you have information on these surnames.
