I am searching for info on my GGGGrandfather, Epaphroditus McCRAY in Hancock. He married Mary FASON / FAISON / FOSON. She was the daughter of William FASON / FAISON / FOSON.
Epaphroditus McCRAY was referred to as Eppa in records that I have found. All census records say that he was born in Georgia, and is listed in all Hancock census records through 1870. He served in the War of 1812. He married Mary FOSON in 1814 in Hancock County. His son, Robert McCRAY, is my GGgrandfather and he married Martha Ann BRANTLEY in Hancock.
The first info I have on Eppa is 1812 when he bought 2 slaves from John Frazier's widow, Leanna and later purchased land from Leanna Frazier. In 1812 he was listed as paying taxes on 116 acres of land the was origionally granted to Owen Fluker in Washington County, which was cut into Hancock. This was on Buffalo Creek.
I have not been able to find how Eppa acquired this property from Owen Fluker. Nor how Eppa got to Hancock County. From ages listed in census records he was born either in 1787/1789

Is there or was there a community or church by the name of "Asibi" in Hancock County? I am doing research on a Civil War Chaplain, John James HYMAN, who enlisted in Co.I of the 49th Georgia Infantry, i.e. "Pierce Guards of Hancock County" in 1862 and surrendered at Appomattox in 1865. Chaplain HYMAN was a Baptist. I believe his father's name was Henry, who appears on the Hancock County Census of 1850. When Chaplain J. J. HYMAN died in 1906, he was living at his home near "Asibi".
I wondered if that location was in Hancock County.
Thank you, John Brinsfield, Ph.D.

George Washington VEAZEY was born in Greene County, Georgia in 1816. He was the son of Timothy VEAZEY, according to Ann (VEAZEY) DAVIS in her book "Descendants of John VEAZEY." George lived in Greene County until about 1838 and moved to Troup County, Ga. He married Elizabeth R. BARNES on 16 November 1837 in Troup County. Elizabeth was the daughter of William BARNES and Phebe VEAZEY. Elizabeth died in 1838 in Troup County and George married Mary CARDWELL there on 3 January 1839. The family later moved to Tallapoosa County, Alabama. George enlisted in the Civil War, entering the Confederate service in 1863. After serving a few months, he contracted a fever, from which he died in 1864. His widow died in 1872 at the age of 60 years.
Found the above on a website. No one seems to know much about Phebe VEAZEY and her husband William BARNES. Is she the Phebe BARNES whom later married Noah PEPPIN in Troup County? If so, what happened to William? Did they have a son named Walter T C BARNES who died in VA during wartime? Any information at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello I am researching the history of Glen Mary Plantation outside of Sparta, Ga. The original owner was Theophilus J "Jack" SMITH, aka Captin Jack. I am looking for historic information about the garden in front of the house. Old photos, diaries, ledgers or any other written records would be welcomed.

Looking for the location of the BURNLEY homesite. Israel BURNLEY (~1720-~1792) received land grant in Greene Cty which became Hancock. Believe site to be near Powelton, perhaps near family cemetery where Joel Smith BURNLEY (1836-1919) and his wife, Mary Will HENRY are buried. Also living there could have been Israel's son, Henry BURNLEY (1756-1835) and Henry's son, Stephen Garland BURNLEY (1797-1873).

I am looking for information on Agrippa ATKINSON, born around 1770 in Hancock Co., Ga. He was a Justice of the Peace as early as 1804. He married Patsey GRACE, daughter of Thomas and Sally GRACE.

Would anyone have a source that might make a referernce to an ECHOLS / ECKOLS family living in Hancock Co, Ga in the 1790's. I received an email from a researcher that said there was a Frederick ECKOLS living in Hancock Co Ga in the 1790's or early 1800's. The name was probably spelled ECHOLS.
thanks,Ross

I am searching for information concerning the property of Tully CHOICE Sr and Rebecca SIMS. I am African-American and my research shows that Tully CHOICE, the grandson of Tully CHOICE Sr., was the slave owner of my ancestors. He moved to Texas around 1856-1866 and in the process brought his slaves with him. He consequently settled in Smith County Texas.
My dilemma is I need to know the names of the slaves he had before they were emacipated. Currently I am trying to get copies of the tax rolls for Smith County around this time but another avenue I thought about trying is finding out the names of the slaves owned by his grandfather. They would be the parents of the children in Texas. This grandson, Tully CHOICE, father's name was Jessie CHOICE. I know that Jessie CHOICE's mother after his father died married a man name John McGILVERY. This man and some other son in laws of Tully CHOICE Sr. namely BUTTS, GaRY etc., owned or co-owned many of the same slaves.
So I need the names listed on the property of either Tully CHOICE Sr. of Georgia or Tully CHOICE the grandson of Smith County Texas. Anyone the can help me find out this information will be greatly appreciated.

There was a George RAY and wife Rachel who attended the Powelton Baptist Church in Hancock co Ga in 1791. Would anyone have any tax records or land records that would show a George RAY living in Hancock co Ga in 1791. My ancestor was George RAY who lived in Wilkes co Ga in 1790 and his land was were Wilkes Co and Oglethorpe Co and Greene Co Ga joined. He sold his property to two of his sons in 1790 and I am trying to find out if the George RAY in Hancock Co Ga was the same George RAY.
