THOMAS / MOREMAN / SIMMONS Sue Howard 12/4/97

I understand that my great grandparents, John L. THOMAS and Belinda Frances MOREMAN were married in Lincoln Co., GA, I would say around 1842-1845. I am very anxious to learn anything at all about them, about their parents, where they came from, etc. I know Belinda's parents were Thomas MOREMAN and Rachel (SIMMONS) Moreman. I know that Rachel had been born in Virginia in 1773. I do not know who John L also in Georgia. One of their children was my grandmother, Susanna(h) Americus Melvina THOMAS, born in 1850 in Georgia, also perhaps in Lincoln Co. John and Belinda show up in Tallapoosa County, Alabama by 1860 with Rachel MOREMAN, 87 years old, living with them. Is there anyone with any information on any of these people? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

HARDY / JETER / WILLIINGHAM, GAITHER Marvin E Owen 2/28/97

In the late 1700s and early 1800's, Jesse HARDY, SR and JR lived in Lincoln County. Jesse HARDY married Nancy JETER in Nov 1820 but died by the mid 1820s. He is probably buried in Lincoln County but I have no record of that nor do I know if it was Sr or Jr. Nancy is then listed in 1826 as Nancy WILLINGHAM marrying Shadrack GAITHER. I have traced this lady from the birth of her two children (Hardy kids) through to her death and burial in Clay Cty Ala and I have no doubt that it is the same person. However, the name change is a bit confusing. Shadrack was appointed as gaurdian of the two Hardy kids in the early 1830s. At one point, a Buck JETER was also a guardian of the kids. The kids later grew up and I have traced them throughout their lives. Any cemetery data for the HARDY clan or any marriage data during the 1820s to clarify the names would be most helpful. For reference, the 2 kids were Whitmel H HARDY and Dicey HARDY.
