First I want to sincerely THANK everyone on this list and those through the
Latta Newsletter who send me snippets trying to help with my Latta's.

FOR SURE, documented from the Latta Bible, census records, death
certificates, etc. this is what I know.....

1850 Census records in GEORGIA shows:

John Latty - age 26 (means he was born about 1824) Place of Birth -
Tennessee
Francis - 22 ( 1828) Place
of Birth - Tennessee
John 4 1846 Place
of Birth - Georgia
Thomas 3 1847 Place
of Birth - Georgia
William 6/12 1849 Place
of Birth - Georgia

NOTE: I think the John listed here is "possibly" the John Wesley that folks
are trying to connect to my branch. If it is the same, as you can see, he is
the brother of my Thomas, not his father.

FLEMING LATTA: 1850 CENSUS - GEORGIA

There is a Fleming Latty listed - age 21, Senna Latty - age 26, Jennifer
Latty age 5 and a John Latty age 2. - Says they were all born in Tennessee. Is
it possible that Fleming and John are brothers???????

UNFORTUNATELY, I CANNOT LOCATE THE 1860 CENSUS. IF ANY OF YOU HAVE THE 1860
CENSUS SHOWING JOHN AND FRANCIS (FANNIE CONNER), CAN YOU PLEASE SHARE????
THANKS MUCH......

NOW ON TO THE 1870 Census.....

1870 CENSUS - Arkansas

Latty, John - looks like his age is shown as 55???? he is still a Farmer
Francis - age 42 -
In 1870 the older children are gone -----John, Thomas and William
John would be 24, Thomas would be 23 and William would be 22...or close to
those ages..

Children listed on the 1870 census...
James M (probably James Madison) age 17 - born in Georgia
Mary J age 15 born in Georgia
Sarah E age 12 born in Georgia
(this is the Sarah that married into the Wittington family)
Martha E age 10 born in Arkansas
(It is her baby that was buried alive)...note..it didn't die.
Andrew J. age 8 born in Arkansas
(this is "Doc" and the one tried for murder)
Margaret age 3 born in Arkansas
Rebecca F age 2 born in Arkansas
*Note- last four children were born in Arkansas

Any help or input on the above family is greatly appreciated. Thanks so very
much.
