          Records and Blurbs by Jeannette Holland Austin

In addition to searching county records, census, military, bibles, land 
grants, cemeteries, etc., there is a world of information available to 
the dedicated researcher. What I am talking about are those one-liners. 
That is, blurbs about your ancestor found in genealogies, dictionaries, 
witnesses to deeds, wills and other documents, and so on. These blurbs 
added up to solving the puzzle. Example: witnesses and suretites to 
marriages and estate bons were usually relatives or neighbors. The names 
of neighbors are important because it helps zero in on where they lived 
and who they married. Compare the names from one document to the next. 
 From 1600 to 1900, it was a smaller world. The likelihood of duplicates 
within the same county works to our favor, except for common surnames 
like Smith, Brown, Jones, and first names like John, William, etc. In 
these difficult tracings where the daughters' marriages are unknown, I 
try and identify the witnesses as a possibility for husbands. Also, to 
see if those witnesses' names also appeared in deed records of my 
ancestors as neighbors, or if they appeared on the same page in tax 
digests.

Ida Collins*Finding School Graduates Help the Genealogist!*

Left-to-Right:(Bottom Row) Cordie Daniel, LaGrange; Tommie Bridges, 
Senoia; Evis Davis, Newton. (Top Row): Ida Collins, Acworth; Leone 
Awtry, Acworth; Mary Crowder, Stinson. Class of 1900, Southern Female 
Academy, LaGrange, Georgia.

Georgia's school children usually attended the nearest academy, which 
was not always located in the county where they resided. Daughters were 
in their teens went sent to further their education and usually 
graduated at the age of fifteen years. Sons also attended the academies 
before being sent to colleges or universities. Frequently, they went 
out-of-state. I discovered where one of my ancestors resided, John 
Collins of Cobb County, Revolutionary War Soldier, by finding his 
great-granddaughter, Ida Collins, in an old school photograph published 
in the Atlanta Constitution in 1900. Now that I knew she was from 
Acworth, I went there and poking around the cemeteries discovered where 
John Collins was buried. The census records and county records had 
failed to unravel family members. That one picture pulled it all 
together for me. Georgia Pioneers <http://www.georgiapioneers.com> has a 
database of School Graduates (grammar, high school, college, academies, 
universities) dating from 1840s to 1900. Many individual and class 
photographs were included, plus whatever was published in the newspapers 
about the graduation. If you have not seen it, click on "School 
Graduates" in the Library.

GRAVES. I am researching early Georgia to discover more about the Graves 
family. My gg grandfather was George Graves who married Lulender Gunn in 
1840 in Warren County, Georgia. I can't find George's parents. There was 
a Thomas Graves Sr b 1729 Lower Potomack Hundred, Maryland. He and sons 
are listed on the 1790 Franklin County Census. I can't connect any of 
them to George Graves yet. One thing I know, is that Dr. George Graves 
who married Mary Scott June 26 1790 in Augusta, Georgia is not the 
father of my George Graves. My George Graves and wife moved west through 
Alabama, Mississippi, and settled in Wood County, Texas 1854-1858, where 
they are listed on the 1860 census. I am aware of a Graves family in 
Muscogee County Georgia and wonder if they are related to my George 
Graves? Eddie Graves, Wichita Falls, Texas. egraves at sw.rr.com

PEACOCK. From: S A STANCLIFF/ Date: 5/17/2009. I've been trying to 
desperately find the gravesite of John Peacock (married to Nancy 
Peyton), both from Maryland. Here's what I know: --first they lived in 
Oglethorpe Co.; he died in Jasper Co., GA; his birth/death dates: 
1745-1826; There are a lot of Jasper Co. deed documents I've found on 
line between he and his sons, etc. I assume he's buried on his 
land...which is hard to pinpoint. He had sons Lewis, Daniel and 
William...just to name a few of his children. His son Lewis married Avey 
Hill, daughter of Mordecai Hill. I've visited the county library in 
Monticello, GA but still can't find where he's buried. Thanks for 
anything you can supply. Susan Stancliff. Email: 
sastancliff1 at bellsouth.net.
