“I am trying to locate
the grave of the wife of one my ancestors.
Family history states that she died at the
birth of her last child in 1875. The last
census she was in, (1870) was the White Co.,
GA one. There’s a possiblity that she was
buried in White Co., GA. Her married name
was Glaze, given name Mary Elizabeth. I’m
not sure of her maiden name, I’ve heard that
it was Barker, Gray and Abercrombie or
Crumby. I’m thinking that since this census
shows an A in her name that it was probably
Abercrombie. She was born abt 1837 in GA.
Was
there ever a White Co., GA
cemetery book published? It
there was and if you have
access to it, would you
please check to see if she
is buried in one of the
cemeteries. I went through
all of the ones on the White
Co., site that I was able to
access, but some of them
took me to a place where I
could not obtain them.
Here
is the info. I have on the
family in 1870
Harris Glaze is on the 1870
census of White Co., Ga. in
the Shoal Creek district on
the 19th day of June, 1870
on Pg. 58 residing in
Cleveland in dwelling #20 &
family #20. Everyone in the
household was born in Ga.
Harris Glaze (36) is a farm
laborer with a personal
estate value of $34 who can
read but cannot write. Mary
A. is 30 & keeping house &
cannot read or write. It
shows that Fanny is 13 & is
a domestic servant; John is
11, Joseph is 9, Jacob(Jake)
is 7, Henry W. (Willis) is 3
& Juliann is 1”.

HENRY YOUNG SIMPSON - - I am still
trying to locate information on Henry Young Simpson, who
came to Cleveland, White County in 1868/69. He is
shown on the 1870 census as a man of the cloth, and is
living on the town square. It is believed he left Georgia
and returned to Pendleton, SC just prior to the 1880
census. In Cleveland he buried a 3 year old daughter Susan
in December 1870, and my grandfather William Robert
Simpson was born in Sept. 1870, would have been 3 months
old when his sister died. Any information would be
appreciated. He does show as a member of the Mt.
Yonah church on the records shown posted.
Thanks Priscilla
