HOWARD GRIFFIN WROTE:
Here are my Utley's
Descendants of Jefferson Utley
Generation No. 1
1. JEFFERSON1 UTLEY was born July 1861. He married JULIA ELLISON December
23, 1880 in BURKE COUNTY, GA.
daughter of JACOB ELLISON and JANE PARRIS.
She was born July 1863, and died 1929.

Howard and List members:
I don't know how much PARRIS information you have.
My grandfather, Lewis BRIGHAM of Girard, Burke Co. GA, used to tell me that
some of the BRIGHAM family lived on the "PARRIS" place. (1800's but I can't
nail it down).I'm under the impression that they owned it at the time. Many
places held the names of the first family that owned them. I do not know
where it was, or if it was near BRIGHAM'S LANDING outside Girard. I'm under
the impression it was a farm, not just a house, but I'm interested in your
thoughts either way.

I would like to know what place (and location) he might have been referring
to and any expanded information.
