BATCHELOR  

BATCHELOR, Beulah Mae My Georgia brick wall is my grandmother; Beulah Mae BATCHELOR (more like wall of steel) She was born April 3, 1882 somewhere in Georgia. She married in Florida to my grandfather, John William Jefferson THOMAS, born in November 1862. John was born in Florida, they married August 25, 1909. They had 6 children all born in Florida (I have names and more info on them). Beulah Mae was known as "Miss Mary" in her home of Leesburg, Florida. The family lived off South Street in Leesburg. They had family ties to the "WARD'S" from the area called Ward settlement, Lake County, Florida. Sumter County at the time they all moved there. It is also said that many of my Thomas ancestors lived at Ward Settlement as well. Logical since John William Jefferson Thomas' mother was born a Ward, Nancy Ann Loucinda Ward. I am looking for anything on my grandmother!! I am not sure of the spelling of her name, as many researchers all have it spelled differently, It has also been seen as "Bulah Mary" and Mary Bulah.I have a picture taken of her when she married John William Jefferson THOMAS but this is the only photo I have of her. She died in 1955 and is buried at the Lone Oak Cemetery in Leesburg, Florida. If anyone has any information or clues to where I can look? Please send it my way. I am looking for her parents, siblings, cousins, anything I can lay my hands on at his point!! I have absolutely nothing except what I have stated above. I am also out of ideas, and places to look. So if any of you have ideas for me I am open to all. Thanks a million!!

BENNETT

BENNETT, Aaron I am searching for the marriage place and date of my GGGrandfather. He was Aaron Bennett a landholder in Emanuel/Bulloch County (it was Effingham/Burke county before that, and of course St Philips/St Matthew Parishes before that) I have him on record as a juror, land owner, and the census records in 1814-1826 Emanuel/Bulloch County Georgia. I do suspect that he may have been in Columbia County though. I do not have his wife's name, but his first born child, John Bennett was born in Emanuel County in 1800, followed by Benjamin L Bennett in 1802, and 5 sisters, so I suspect he may have married about 1798 or so. Any help you could provide will be most appreciated.

BISHOP, William L.
Birth: 31 Jan 1823, GA
Death: 4 Feb 1905, Cobb Co., GA
Married to Kiziah Power ca. 1844.
Lived and operated a grist mill in East Cobb County... Home place was in what is now Indian Hills Subdivision between Lower Roswell and Roswell Roads, East of Old Canton Road. At the time of his death in 1905 he owned 1163-1/3 acres and had 12 living children. I suspect, but cannot proove that his siblings are Hezekiah Bishop of Fulton and Cobb Counties... Joseph Asbury Bishop of Cobb, Shelby County, IL (After the War) and Collin County, TX. and Benjamin F. Bishop of Cobb County, GA... I believe their Mother to be Boxa Bishop, enumerated in the 722 District of DeKalb County, GA in 1840 which becomes the "Buckhead" District of Fulton County in 1853 when Fulton County is formed. I believe that Boxa, if living in 1850, was living with William and Keziah Bishop at their home in East Cobb County but the Census Enumerator "missed" their entry... W.L. Bishop appears on the Cobb County Tax Rolls for 1848, 1849 and 1851 at the Section and Land Lot of his farm there in "Indian Hills".... Any help is greatly appreciated

BOLTON, Ferraby Ann Parker Talley.
Searching for siblings and parents of Ferraby Ann Parker(born abt 1804 in Green Cty GA?) Don't know if Parker is her maiden name and she was married to a Talley. She later married John M. Bolton (B abt 1806 S.C.) They moved to Alabama (abt 1838-1866) and then to MS (abt 1866-1870) John Bolton died 1868 in Clinton Hinds, Cty, MS. After his death Ferraby Ann and children moved to Henderson Rusk Cty, TX about 1871.
They had the following children: Elizabeth Jane (b 5-3-1835-GA), John Wesley (b 6-6-1838 AL), Wade Austin, (B 8-1-1841in AL), James A Bolton (b 11-15-1847- AL), George Neal (B 3-14-1849-AL), Nancy s (b 1848-AL), Lucinda (b 1844-AL) and Sylvester Parker (b 6-22-1854-AL or MS?). All of the children came to Texas with Ferraby Ann with the exception of Lucinda.

BONNER, Joseph moved from Prince George Co. VA to Wilkes County, GA and purchased 250 acres bordering the Ogeechee River on the East which became Warren Co. GA in 1793. Land sold about 1803 and he moved to Jones Co. GA near Haddock.
Joseph Bonner married in 1780-81 to Susannah Heath. He was born abt 1750-60 Sussex County, Virginia died: Jan 6, 1825 Jones County, GA.
Since Joseph Bonner owned land on Commissioner�s Creek (adjoining son Hubbard Bonner), he could not have qualified as indigent so must have been an invalid.
Records have not been located to show weather he paid the required $18.00 grant fee for each lot, sold his land warrants, or let the land go by default. The latter was not an uncommon practice in Georgia -- the only state to dispense lands by lotteries. Counties were cut up into lots almost sight unseen with the result that many were unfit for cultivation; others less desirable than the property already owned by the drawer. Joseph Bonner left no will and his property was probably divided among his adult heirs by mutual agreement. (His wife died Jan 12, 1822 and there were no minor heirs so an estate administration was not mandatory.)
I am a direct descendant of Joseph Bonner and have no record of his burial place. I have visited the cemetery at Standing Rock, Chambers Co. AL several times. Also the Thomas Harris Cemetery (Old Dewberry Place) at the site of the original "Bonner Church" in Hickory Flat, AL. I have not seen Joseph and Susannah's graves. I have always thought they were buried in Jones Co. GA.
If you have any clue as to where their graves may be, please contact me. I am also very interested in any additional information you may have about this Bonner line.

BOON, Littleberry (aka L. B.) born GA @ 1806, and was in Crawford County by 1832 when he married Epsey SAWYER January 26. (Crawford county Probate Court Book A1). He died in Leake County, MS @ 1859 of an accidental gunshot wound while hunting. Children born in GA were James M., John Fletcher, Elkanah, and Martha A. Children born after 1842 in MS were George, Campbell LeFlore, Shada A., and Mary Caroline. Many researchers have worked on this line for years, and while the descendents are well documented, no one has ever been able to connect Littleberry to any siblings or ancestors. Littleberry Boon and John Boon bought land from a Willis Boon, but what is their connection to him?
