I have conflicting data but will post what I found (courtesy of James
Cribb)published in The Brack Family Quilt by June Selph Adams:

George Brack and Didemma Cannon Mason were married Nov 25, 1838 in Wilkinson
Co. Their marriage was performed by William P. Ross, Justice of the Peace.
Didemma had been married before and was the mother of 6 Mason children.

George Brack males: 2 under 5, 1 (10-15) 1 (15-20) 1 (30-40)

(30-40)

3. All Mason and Brack children were born in Ga. In the same house was
Jacob Brack, 13 (GA). ***(Some research puts J. T. Brack as a child of
George and Didemma)

Brack Children: Miles 20, Elizabeth 19, Eli 17, Dorenda 14, Franklin 13,
Martha Mason 13, John Mason 11.
In the same house: Martha A Bailey 7.

***(Some research states that Franklin is George F.)

Some areas where I have found differing information:

The marriage date of George F. and Didemma. I have seen: 1822, abt 1836,
and 1838. In my database I have used 1838 because of the fullness of the
data included in The Brack Family Quilt by June Selph Adams.

At the Mormon site: the children and birth dates differ.

I am not a professional genealogist and have not researched this information
for source data, as it is an offshoot of my line. I am merely posting this
for others.

My line is per family:

William BRACK and Mary DEAN who were married July 28, 1825 in Laurens Co.
GA. Mary was the twin sister of Susanna Maria DEAN who married William's
brother James.

Children: Benjamin Foreman/Fordham BRACK b March 23, 1846 (which does not
coincide with census data)
Nancy
Richard
Frances
J. T.

In the 1850 Census:

William Brack 48 (GA) Mary Brack 40 (NC)
Children: Nancy 21, James R. 12, Benjamin 11, Alsey Fanny 7, John Thomas 3
(All children born in GA)

In the 1860 Census:

William Brack 60 Farm Laborer (working for John Perry) Mary Brack 60 (Says
GA but she was born in NC)
Children: Fanny Alsey 16
John Thomas 14
(Both born in GA)


According to The Brack Family Quilt my William Brack ties in with the
Wilkinson Co BRACKS as the 3rd son of Sarah and Eleazer Brack. Other
children of Sarah and Eleazer:

George b. 1795 in Burke Co (Married Didemma Cannon Mason)
James who married Susanna Maria DEAN
Richard b. abt 1810 prob in Wilkinson Co. (married Nancy Woodard in Houston
Co. GA)
John M. b 1812 in Wilkinson Co. (married Lucinda Smith in Wilkinson Co)
Benjamin Hardin b 1817 in Wilkinson Co. (married Mary Jane Porter in
Wilkinson Co.)

There were 3 girls also, but their names and data is unknown to me.

I received yesterday some information on the DEAN sisters and lots on the
FORDHAM family which is their maternal line. If anyone is interested let me
know and I will post it, but it seems to be more related to Laurens Co. GA.
Apparently this family lived close to the border between the 2 counties.

Hope this helps someone---
