The Tallapoosa Co. Heritage Book Committee voted 23 July 1999 to extend the
deadline for submission of stories and prepurchase of books to 30 September
1999. I do not understand the change to 31 Oct . That is not what the
committee decided.

In reply to the e-mails related to "unbelieveable", where did you get the idea that the "Heritage Book" folks would delete material on someone's parentage as you've interpreted it? While the "illegitimate" definition is listed as the 3rd one in the dictionary I use, the major definition relates to "lacking authenticity or validity; counterfeit; false". The next one relates to "constituting a forgery or interpolation". So I have to assume that these are reasonable people and used the "spurious" term to f
Hi all...
I have been wanting to find some info on my gggrandmother MARTHA TAYLOR YATES
PEPPER. I had a note on some genealogy stuff that indicated she might be
part Indian, tho I didn't know what tribe. Well, today I visited her grave
for the first time, and guess what? There's a big ole SEAL OF THE CHEROKEE
NATION on her grave! Now, I am wondering if you all could give me some
pointers on tracing my Native American roots? Subsequent findings today said
she was 1/2 Indian, and her parents were J
Reference the questions about the "Committee reserves the right to delete
spurious material."
I have seen and at least scanned all of the stories submitted to date and
found nothing that would fit that description. It is my view that
"spurious material" would come under the heading of libelous material. It
would not be good to say that someone was a "bastard", but nothing would be
wrong in saying that the same person's Mother was unwed or that the person
was born out of wedlock. That says the same thin

Janice,
Many times witnesses on legal documents were relatives or trusted friends. A
lot of genealogists would tell you to follow your nose on this one. The
Davis's you mentioned are more than likely related. Did they live close
together on the census records? You did not give dates so I am assuming you
have checked. I will try to check and see if I can find any info on them in
my marriage database as I have Davis relatives as well, and I made note of
some of their (Davis) marriages in Tallapoosa

Hi folks. I have been out of town since mid July and have not responded to

Hi everyone! I've been gone from the lists for a long time and wondered if
there was anyone researching the surname RICHARDSON.
In particular, I'm trying to find Thomas Richardson born 1816. Family says
he was born in Charleston, SC, but we've never been able to find him there,
even with 2 professional researchers.
Other family members insist he was born in SC but lived in Alabama most of
his life.
I found him in Trinity County, TX in 1853 where he finally decided to stay
put and stop wandering ar
My ancestor John Davis b.1795-1800 and wife Rachel Greer had a daughter
named Susannah - she married Josiah Jordan 1848 Tallapoosa Co. According
to the 1860 census record they had four children: Rachel Jordan b.1849,
Josephine Jordan b.1851, John A. Jordan b.1855 and Sarah Jordan b.1857.
What happened to this family? Susannah died before October 1858 in
Tallapoosa co. Where did this family go after 1860?

JETER BARNETT6 DAVIS (THOMAS FULLILOVE5, ABSOLOM4, ABSOLOM3, RICHARD2,
THOMAS1) was born June 30, 1830 in Troup Co, GA, and died February 04, 1897
in Titus Co or Dallas Co, GA.
My great-grandfather John Daniel Davis wrote his will in March 1873 in
Tallapoosa Co and it was witnessed by John A. Davis. Could this John A.
Davis be a relative? John Daniel Davis and his brothers and sisters were
involved in legal documents with the children of Sarah R. Moon b.1820
who married John B. Davis and then James B. Davis - married both in
Meriwether Co, Georgia. We have no idea if these Davis men could be
relatives. Could someone help us? Our Davis family lived in Tallapoosa
Co between Jackson
The reason for the mix up in dates is that the publisher's consultants
changed the deadline from 30 September 1999 to 31 October 1999 without the
knowledge of the committee. Therefore the committee could not disseminate
the correct date in a timely manner.
