Greg Adams. I am
searching for my great-great grandparents, the parents of Lewis M. Adams (born 1860 in Gilmir Co.). Lewis
lived in Fannin Co. most of his life. He marrieid a Miss Laura Bates in 1889 and
of their children, I have only the
name of one, Ollie. After Laura's passing in 1902, he married a
Miss Nancy Holden. They had
five children, Viola (Mrs. Clyde Buchanan), Norman, Joe Nathan (married a Miss Annie Mae
Styles), Jim, and Maggie (Mrs. Maggie German). Lewis died in 1957. I believe
Lewis's mother's name may have been Elizabeth and he had one brother.

Raven Moon Crow. I
am looking for Yomie or Yommia COUCH. All I have is a birth year of 1884, and I believe she was
born in Ellijay, Gilmer
County. She may have lived in Fannin County. I need to find
out if she was Cherokee. Perhaps a certificate could tell me if she was born with Cherokee
blood or not. She is my Great Grandmother. Thank you for any information.

Susan Gross. William
Asbury GROSS b. 24 Apr 1853 in Fannin, GA. His parents were James
GROSS and Stacy M GARLAN William married Emma Viola HAIGHT on 2
Mar 1884. Don't know where they were married.
The following are his siblings that were born in Fannin,
GA
James T GROSS b. 6 Apr 1847
Clinton GROSS b. 28 Sep 1863
Polly Lewis GROSS b. 5 Sep 1857
Clayton GROSS b. 4 Apr 1861
I would like verification of these births and any
marriages of any of the above mentioned individuals. If these
records exist, I'd like to get certificates. And I would like
verification if Thomas' death abt 1859. I don't know where he
died. The family info shows him as being 106 when he died.
His son b. in NC in 1817 and his
oldest grandson was born in 1847 in Fannin, GA.
Was there ever a
town by the name of Fannin? If so, where was it?

records shows her as Pennington but her cemetery records show her last
name as being Penland). Miniard's parents were Thomas H. & Mary

I am searching for any information I can
find on Richard GARRETT, son of Joseph and Sarah (STROUD)
Garrett. He married
Caroline Castor LONG. He was living in Union at the time he md. but I
have never been able to find anything
on the marriage information. I believe his middle name was Major. He
was supposed to have been a well known athlete. He was known as a fast
runner. He and Caroline are in the 1850 census of Union. And in the
1860 census of Fannin. His
children were Sarah, Martha and Peter. He died young and I think
Caroline remarried, but
don't know to whom. Thank you.
Barbara Johnson. I am
