My Great grand mother Isabelle and her sister Martha were both from Savannah. We have not been able to find ANY information on the family at all, not births, marriages etc. The only thing we have been able to find is that their father Sylvestor, was in the Bethesda Home for Boys and was listed in the census in 1860 at the age of 15. We also know that he enlisted in the Georgia Army in November of 1863, although we do not know his company or regiment. My Great Grand father was named Lucy. There is controversy as to whether his first name was William or Milton. We do not know if he was also from Savannah or if he met Isabelle there and came "home" to Baltimore.
Any help to find more information, even if its only a resource, would be appreciated.

As per your web site, James Oglethorpe brought John, Richard, and William SPENCER to St. Simon's Island around 1736.He stopped in Charleston before going on to Georgia where he was offered help by the South Carolina Gov't. The SPENCERs are not included in the list of passengers brought from England and since there were SPENCERs already in SC at that time, it occurs to me that the SPENCERs may have joined Oglethorpe there. Does anyone there know how I might find documentation to determine whether that was the case?

Looking for parents, ancestors, siblings of John Lewis ELLS. John L ELLS was born 1829 in Bibb Co., GA, moved to Troy, NY by late 1840s. John married Margaret E RICKARDS of Troy, NY about 1849 but returned to GA after 1854, this time to Chatham Co., he's in the 1860 Census. John and Margaret had at least 3 children: George (John); Emma F; and Jefferson Davis "Jeffie," a daughter. They appear to have left Chatham Co. before 1861 since John L enlisted in Richmond Co and Jeffie was born in Augusta, Richmond, GA.

A possible relative is Nathan ELLS. He is listed in the 1850 Chatham Co. Census index. Nathan looks like he also came to Chatham from Bibb Co. since a Nathan ELLS is listed in the index in Bibb Co. in 1830. He isn't listed in the 1860 Census index, though.
Thanks!

I have been researching my BROWN family for 25 years and have hit many clues, but no results! My ancestor, William (nmi) BROWN was born Feb. of 1785 in or near Savannah, Ga., possible his father was a Wm. or James BROWN. All records in family bibles and the 1850 census of Fayette Co. Ill have him as a native Georgian, Bible says "Savanny". He married Elizabeth--? in 1812, possibly in Ga., but likely in Tenn. as three children born in Tenn in 1813, 1816 and 1817. No other clues to Chatham Co., possibly one of the BROWN families in 1785 tax lists, which I have not seen. Family was probably protestant,Eng., Irish or Scotch descent, possibly German. I have had various people research, no one has come up with anything concrete. A Francis BROWN was in Chatham at the same time. I suspect he might be a relative as the name pops up two or three times in later generations. My William died in 1857 in Ill, his wife in 1835, in Madison Co or Fayette Co,Ill. Thank you for anything anyone can do Scarlett

Searching for any family information (church records, hospital, obituary,etc.) for my ggg uncle,Capt. Joseph MANIGAULT (July 11,1827, Charleston-June 17, 1911,Savannah) C.S.A.. Capt. Joseph died in unknown Savannah hospital of "Malaria Nephritis" and his body was transported to Charleston for burial. It appears no death record was made, as this was before the 1919 date it was required. Capt. Joseph lived in Savannah after the war, believed to be trying to work the old family rice plantation on Argyle Island.
Any leads to information would be most welcome and greatly appreciated.

I am looking for information on Julia Etta CLOSS married to Joseph YOUNGS. I know Joseph was married twice, I suppose Julia was too. Perhaps Julia was married to him prior to 1937. I have information that Joseph was also married to Dora CLOSS. Are these women the same person? I am trying to give my aged mother info on her mother Florence Pearl YOUNGS and her grandmother Dora. Thank-you.
