VA, son of Howson Mapp and Leah Notthingham. He died in 1804 in
Hancock Co. This lengthy sketch lists his descendants, their spouses,
their children, etc., with 150 full references! Don't miss this great
article
on MAPP descendants and their connections.

The next EGGS meeting will be on Tuesday, February 10, 2004, 7 PM at the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 36 Sims Road, Winder, GA.
It will be our pleasure to present Walter J. Freeman, Ph.D., Treasurer of
EGGS
-- a most dynamic and interesting speaker!
Mr. Freeman will present a reading from the "Dunagan-Bramlett Ancestral
History" by Remelle Dunagan Wilhite. EGGS received a copy of this wonderful
story on CD from member, John Hays of Spirit Lake, ID.
The story, written for Mrs. Wilhite's children in the mid 1960s, traces the
thread of her family's life in Jackson, Hall and Gwinnett Counties around the
turn of the 20th Century. You will rejoice in their fortune and rail at
their
misfortune as the family struggles in this time period.
Be sure and join us if you're in the Winder area -- visitors welcome! For more
