I am seeking background information on the grave of a child in the Pitts Cemeterty, Coweta County, Georgia - on Gordon Road at the Church of Christ. The grave is of William O. TINNEY - 27 DEC 1899 - 23 JUN 1900. The gravestone reads, s/o Alex. TINNEY, grandson of W. M. TINNEY.
Maybe there is information in the church records. Would someone please check to see? Need to know mother's name.

Additionally: I believe this to be the son of Lec & Stella TINNEY of the 1900 Coweta County Census. They had a child, male - I know that he died young. In the census the childs name is hard to read - looks like Arlie. Census says child was born in JAN 1900
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Recently someone sent me a list of the children of Elijah BINGHAM, found in Coweta County, Georgia, in the 1800s. The list showed the children by his first marriage and also a list by his second marriage. There was a John BINGHAM listed as the firstborn of Elijah and his first wife. Does anyone know anything about this John BINGHAM? Whom did he marry? Who were his children?
Any information about him will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am interested in any families from Coweta Co that migrated to TX (particularly counties of Upshur, Bell, or Williamson) between 1840 and 1860. From reading the queries on the Coweta Co page, I note that there seems to be a typical pattern...would like to connect this history if possible. Anyone know why people moved at this time? Will share all data and do AR lookups at the History Commission in Little Rock.
