CAMP

Camp. W. A. My maternal grandfather was W.A. Camp -- the name of his wife is unknown however we believe that there may have been some Cherokee blood on this side of the family. W.A. Camp is believed to have been born in GA. He and his wife had several children: my grandmother, Mozelle Camp born on January 2, 1900 in Randolph County, Alabama; a sister "Della" Camp and a brother whose name we do not know. Mozelle died on May 30, 1924 at the Piedmont Sanitorium in Atlanta and is buried in the Glenwood Cemetery, Upson county. She was married to my grandfather James Robert Daniel of LaGrange, Ga, Troup County. Any help would be so very greatly appreciated! Thank you.

CANNADY

CANNADY (Various spellings), Daniel B. b. 1831 in Emanuel Co. Ga. Married Rebecca Durden. We believe his brothers were William. E. Cannady b 1821 and James H. Cannady/Kennedy b. 1825. They each married daughters of Henry Durden. Their are several older Cannady men in Emanuel County in the early 1800's that could be his father; Edmund, Henry, *John, Samuel, Solomon, Daniel, William Sr., and William Jr. The *John listed was from S.C. Also, from the book "Revolutionary War Land Grants awarded by State Governments" there was a John Kennedy, rank not given, that rec'd he rec'd 287 1/2 acres in Georgia on February 28, 1784. I have been advised this was primarily Franklin and Washington County, Ga. I found a John Castleberry with a land warrant dated May of 1784 in Washington Co., Ga. who rec'd the same amount of acreage. We would appreciate any help and wish you good fortune in knocking down your brick wall!

CARROLL

Carroll, Jesse Willingham. I am trying to locate the county in Georgia where my gggrandparents, Jesse Willingham Carroll and Esther Vineyard (Hettie), were married. The date is October 6, 1831 according to family bible. Three counties show ties to my clan perhaps -- Carroll County in 1840, Walton and Madison County at earlier date. I have tried the county clerk at Madison County, various books and Ancestry.com. Do you have other suggestions? I know that both were born in Georgia and migrated to Alabama by 1850 census. They are in Carroll County in 1840 census. Thanks,

CARROLL    

Carroll, Owen I'm looking for any information on Owen Carroll. He participated in the 1827 Land Lottery (known as the "Fifth" Land Lottery). He drew land in Lee County, land lot 126, District 13 and was granted this land on 11/5/1836. Beside his name is RS which means he fought in the rev war in Georgia. After 1790 he apparently moved to Bladen County NC. Where My GGGGgrandfather was born. Does anybody have this man and his wife Mary buried in their cemetery? I'm looking for any information at all.

CARPENTER

Carpenter, Joanna (Griffin) Born 1856 in AL according to Census & Death Certificates. Two of her children's death Certs claim her maiden name to be Griffin but this is unproven. Her death cert does not say either. She died in 1930 in Santa Rosa, FL. She married Cary Carpenter about 1875 in Covinton Co. AL. & they divorced. Cary then married a Carter & had several more children. Searching for any info on Joanna at all. Death Cert is almost impossible to read but contains no clues. Cemetery is possibly Hickory Hammock in Santa Rosa but cannot locate grave. Covington Co. Courthouse burned in 1900 along with possibly Cary & Joanna's marriage & divorce papers. Thanks,

CARPENTER

Carpenter, Mary "Dollie" 1st child of Jesse Monroe & Emma Barnes Carpenter. Born 1900 in Crenshaw Al. She is last found on the 1920 Census in Escambia Co. AL. with her parents & single, 20 years of age. Before 1924 the family moves to Autauga, AL. where in 1924 Jesse Carpenter born in 1875 in Covington Co. AL. dies while working on the Farm for the Tatum's. It is said that it is thought Mary stayed behind when the rest of the family moved to Fulton Co. GA. Emma, her mother remarried abt. 1928 to a Charles Cheek & Emma died in 1936 in Fulton. No one in the entire family knows what happened to Mary. I was able to find Martha.
It is said from everyone that Mary "Dollie" stayed behind in AL. yet I have not been able to locate a marriage for her in a County in AL. yet.

CLAYTON

Clayton, Frances FRANCES CLAYTON is named in an 1896 publication in Limestone Co., Texas as the wife of William ROBERTS, mother of Charles Roberts born in Walker Co., Georgia.

Frances Clayton is believed to have been born ca 1790-1800, possibly in GA or one of the Carolinas. She is believed to be enumerated on the 1830 Monroe Co., GA census in the household of William Roberts, with ten children. Their only son (1 of 10) known by this branch of the family, Charles Roberts, was born 1813 Walker Co. GA, migrated to Texas with his father's brother ca 1833, married Emily Stanley on Feb 4, 1842 in Washington Co. TX, and finally settled and died in Limestone Co., Texas.

Would truly love to find the family - parents/siblings - of FRANCES CLAYTON. She is believed to have married William ROBERTS possibly in Richmond Co., GA and perhaps lived for a time in Columbia Co. GA.

COCHRAN

Cochran, Neal b. about 1859, was my ggrandfather and Jacob:b. 1847, Alexander: b. 1856, Guss; b.1866 are his brothers. Grandfather Neal was a slave and I think I've found Uncle Alex on a Slave Bill of Sale. Their mother's name was Susan. The information on the Slave Bill of Sale comes from the Cunningham Collection. I have not been able to find the Cunningham Collection. My reserch indicates that there was a Cunningham Plantation around August, Richmond County. However, the Slave Bill of Sale gives Putnam and Muscogee Cunties. Some of them had moved to Alabama by 1880 and I found all of them in Alabama in the 1900 census. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CONE

Cone, Jesse b. in NC 1771-1774 but was in Georgia by 1806 when his oldest child was born. He and his wife, Sarah Bailey, are said to have married in Georgia. There are a number of Cones throughout the state, but Jesse doesn't appear to be one of them. He left no census records, land records, marriage, birth or church records that we can find. He and his family migrated to Alabama between 1816 and 1818 and from there on we have a complete record of them. Would appreciate any and all help, and wish all of you good luck on breaking down your brick walls.
