Comments: DORSEY - Looking for the Dorsey Family from Mossey
Creek Plantation. I am trying to trace three Confederate
deserters from the 62nd N.C. Infantry - Elisha H., Andrew and
Anderson Dorsey. Speculation is that they lived with relatives at
the plantation after deserting. Elisha changed his name to
Harvey Alexander Kelley in the 1870's. He was married to
Louisa J. Bouknight and had a son John A., daughter Mary D. ( born
in Ga.) and son David Walter ( born in Ga.) Need information on this
family and particularly Elisha / Harvey and Louisa.

Comments: KIMBRELL - My grandparents were born and married in
Cleveland, and had their kids there. Not too much information
was passed on, since they divorced somewhat bitterly. Here's
what I know: 1. Grandfather: Leonard H (Hamilton?
Harrison?) Kimbrell, born March 8, 1883 or 1884 in Cleveland, father
Leonard, mother Fannie Lundon. Nickname was Dock. 2.
Grandmother: Maggie Ione Burke, born July 15, 1893 in
Cleveland. Father James Jasper Burke, mother Carry Merrit. 3.
Family name is spelled Kimbrell or Kimbrel or Kimbell, depending on
the document. 4. Leonard and Maggie had 4 children, all
born in Cleveland: Fannie, Raymond A., Lela and James Richard
(my dad, who may have actually been born in Athens).
This whole line seems to have dropped out of nowhere, but apparently
they must have lived in the Cleveland area for a long time: 30
- 40 years anyway. Is there anyone who can help?
Thanks.....Pat

Specifically, I am trying to determine the father of Joseph England.
Joseph England owned land lot #39 which is now a part of Helena and

England (a Revolutionary war veteran) was his father. Charles
lived near the Tugaloo River for a while but came to Helen in about
1826. Joseph died in 1831 in Habersham Co.

father's family. Our father was Riley Sheppard Brown of Cordele Ga.;
his father who died in the early 30's was John Daniel Brown and John
Daniel's father or grandfather was Daniel. Dad told us that his
father 's family came to Georgia by way of North Carolina in the
early 1800's, that they came to the U.S. from Scotland; I was so
excited when I lucked into your site. We would be most
appreciative of any information you could give us about your Daniel
Brown. The other interesting fact is that my grandmother who
was Charity Celestea Mathews was supposed to have some Cherokee
blood. It all seems to fit but I know there are many Daniel Browns
in Georgia! Thanks for any help. Judy Brown Brickner and

Comments: CHAPMAN - I am researching my history. My
great-great grand father was William Henry Chapman and my
great-great grand mother was Mary Lousia Chapman. She was born
a Cherokee Indian. Legend has it the H. Chapman was among the
troops that carried the Cherokees out of the SE. Her family
contracted small pox and he helped to heal them. She was from
the Wolf Clan. I have two references to here given name:
Ya-We-Ya-Da and Ya-Tee-Ha-Do. I also have a number 054431, I
don't know if it's the Champan Roll, Siler Roll or Dowles..... Can
you point me in the right direction? I'm searching with one
wing and a pray.
Please help me with this search. I do have other information
regarding the events. You can e-mail me back at JLP404@aol.com.
My name is Lawana, my great grand parents marriage was not
recognized, because it was against the moral judgments of the
majority for a white person to marry an Indian. My family is
from Clarksville, Cornelia, ...Mountain folks. My grand father
is in the process of passing on. He's 86 years old. I
want to do this for him and for my family. It's time to stand
up.
Evidently, Morning Star's father gave her and her sister to W.
Champan after he helped them through the Small Pox. He brought
them back to GA from somewhere between Ga and Ok. He found
families to adopt them. Chapman's wife dies a couple of years
later and he marries Morning Star. . Abracadabra....
the family tree.
I look forward to hearing from you, Lawana Peterson

'Curtis and Cassandra moved to Loudsville community, Nachoochee
Valley, of Habersham Co, GA (now White Co) around 1822. Curtis
aquired abt 500 acres by both purchasing and obtaining land grants.
They came in with the original settlers I believe because Thomas
Allison (Cassandra's uncle) was listed with the original 66
settlers of the valley. If Curtis didn't come with them he was right
behind them. Curtis and Cassandra already had several children that
were born in Buncombe/Macon Co, NC with them.'

I've just started tracing his geneology (there was a family

My line is as follows: George E. Allen, my grandfather,
married to Nellie Mae Sims; Marion Cicero or MC Allen, my
ggrandfather, married to "Lou" Densmore. I'm wondering if
anyone has more info on MC or his ancestors, or if we have a match
somewhere? By the way, I had such fun reading through the queries
and recognizing the names of places people had asked about - Albert

Comments: My great-grandfather, John Kimsey Clayton, is buried in
the Center Grove Church Cemetary in Cleveland, GA. I have
information on his father/uncle?, Cecil Monroe Clayton, and am
attempting to establish the link between them. John Kimsey was
married to Mamie Cannon (who re-married to Jessie Hise after John
Kimsey's death) I have no birth or death records on John Kimsey or
Mamie Cannon. Cecil Monroe Clayton was born July 25, 1857 in
Spartanburg, SC and died February 7, 1919 in White Co. GA. He was
married to Rozine Caroline Miller ( born November 3, 1856 in White
Co. GA.) Rozine died July 10, 1915 in White Co. GA. I can trace
Cecil Monroe's lineage back 4 generations to Lambert Clayton (b.
1755). Any help on the relationship of John Kimsey Clayton and Cecil
Monroe CLayton will be greatly appreciated.
