JOHNS - HALL
Earl Hall Mon Jan 8 07:54:14 2007
I am trying to connect Sara Jane (HALL) JOHNS to another family she lived with in Savannah in 1845. A census or a note I found many years ago stated she was a seamstress and lived with relatives. Who is this family?
My family, John and Mary Silcox HALL went to Mcintosh County ,GA to marry in 1809. They had a son William Ray HALL there in 1817. They lived in FL most of the time.
Sara Jane had been scalped by Indians near Jacksonville a few years earlier. She recovered and later lived in Ft. Ogden, FL with her sister Margaret and her husband, Frank BOGGESS.

ALDRIDGE
Mary Jane Gray Thu Jan 11 14:13:58 2007
I am trying to locate the cemetery my father and grandparents were buried in. I only remember it is located somewhere just outside of downtown Savannah. It was on a river that I could see shrimp boats going down. I know it sounds crazy not to know the name but I have no one to ask and I have not had the chance to visit their graves since 1980. They were all laid to rest between 1972 and 1982.
I am thinking from the descriptions I have seen online of Bonaventure, it may be that one. But, I am sure there are other similar settings in Savannah. Thank you

FERRILL
Boyd Murphree Sat Jan 27 19:49:19 2007
I am searching for information on the family of John C. FERRILL, who lived in Savannah during the Civil War. I believe John C. FERRILL was an insurance executive; one of his son's, Julius A. FERRILL, was killed at First Manassas (July 1861), and his remains were brought back to Savannah and buried in Feb. 1862. Another of John's sons, John O. FERRILL, was an officer in the Civil War. I am especially interested in information on John O. FERRILL (I have seen his service record but have not seen him listed in the 1860 census) but any information on this family would be most helpful.
Yours,

WOODS
Charles H. Woods Wed Apr 4 17:11:06 2007
Seeking info on Joseph WOOD(S) who was born in Christ Church Parish which later became known as Savannah (Chatham County), Georgia some 12 years before the official chartering of the Georgia colony. It is likely that Joseph's family was among the wealthy landowners from South Carolina who settled on cheap land in Georgia and who established there, with the North Carolinians and Virginians, the plantation system and slavery. A note in Book D of "Colonial Records" in the State Library in Atlanta, Georgia describes Joseph as "Having wife, five children, eight Negroes," and 300 acres of Black Creek Land. Parish records indicate that Joseph married Mary STERLING in 1746 in Christ Church Parish, Georgia. The last child's name (probably a daughter) is unknown.
Records in the Atlanta Georgia State House say that Joesph acted as deputy to his son, Captain John WOODS, in the position as paymaster to the First Georgia Regiment of Continental troops from the summer of 1776 until October 1777.

LeBEY
Tom Ewing Fri Jul 27 11:50:11 2007
Good afternoon, I am doing research on a Charles C. LeBEY from Savannah / Pooler, GA. I research magic history and I have a series of letters from early 1890-1928 magic dealers that were sent to a Charles C. LeBEY discussing his various requests for magic catalogs and magic tricks. He also performed under the name of "Frederick Barrington." He was also a member of the Society of American Magicians (1919). He operated an "Entertainers' Correspondence School" at 2015 Drayton Street in Savannah in the early 1900s. I have letterhead of his and a broadside.
In one letter his address is given as 119 Oglethorpe Ave. W., Savannah. He also apparently moved for a brief period to 710 Florida Ave., Tampa, Florida. I've located a reference to a Charles C. LeBEY in "A History of Savannah and South Georgia," by William Harden written in 1913 and I wonder if this is the same man. Odd coincidences include him being mayor of Pooler for four terms, his wife being born in Tampa, Florida. Any assistance would be helpful.

I am seeking information and records on any slaves,including Anthony, Lucinda, Marcus, Nelson, Maria, Frank, and Peter, who were born in Savannah, Georgia with the surname ANDERSON. They were living in Bovina, Mississippi in 1870. These slaves may have been sold away from Savannah to Ann (NEWMAN) WHITAKER DOWNING in the 1840's.

NORRIS - KITTRELL
Sherry Fri Sep 21 06:35:59 2007
I am looking for any information or leads on a Bronson NORRIS.
He can be found on the 1860 Holmes Co.Fl census and he states that he was born in Georgia in 1834. He married Evaline "Clarkie or Clark" Ann KITTRELL born in AL, but her parents William and Caroline KITTRELL were born in NC and SC.
I do not know who Norris's parnets are, but I do know that according to my grandmother's EC Indian application prepared in 1957, that our Native American bloodline runs through the NORRIS - KITTRELL line.
He enlisted in the American Civil War in Vernon, Fl in March 1863 and deserted in July 1863. After that, he cannot be located anywhere, so I am assuming either he used another name or he just didn't want to be found.

My grandmother was born in 13 Feb. 1892 Sadie QUATERMAN then married my grandfather SANDERS 12 October, 1913. She owned a boarding house in Savannah. Can you tell me anything about it? Where is was or anything. I know she sold it around 1923. I think, I have heard stories she was a boarder first, but I do know that she did have the boarding house somewhere near the train depot, because my dad told me when he was a boy he sold cookies and plants at the train station. Thank you for your help.

Looking for info on Sarah SISSON of Savannah - borh March 13, 1820 married Asaph LANGLEY and lived in Stoneham Mass.
I think her mother may have been Mary OGELSBY ...who married Victor DOHET on Jan 13, 1813.....and at his death remarried to a Sisson.
Sarah named one of her daughters "Maria Dohet LANGLEY....which seems to reflect those names.
Thank you

SHAW
Wanda M. Gray Thu Jan 24 19:14:51 2008
Chatham County Censuses for 1850 depicts the family of Thomas E. SHAW, steamboat captain, age 29, born in GA,
His wife, Ann E., is 27, SC, daughter Lara [Laura] E., 27, born in GA,
William A., 5, GA; James B., age 6, born GA.
In the 1860 census, this family remains in Chatham County, without Thomas E. SHAW, and the family is residing with James G. CORNELL, believed to be the brother of Ann E. SHAW.
I am searching for any information on this family. William A. [possibly Alexander] may have relocated to Scott County, Arkansas by the 1880 census, and may have married a Ellen F. MITCHELL.
Any assistance will be appreciated.
