Hi Greg Found your great page I thought I had found the "roots". You have all
the right names - Griffin, Gunter, Wheeler but sadly none of the first names match. My
grandfather was Dallas Caswell Griffin b. 1872 in Savannah, GA. My daddy does not remember
what Dallas' daddy's name was; he does remember that Dallas' mother was Joanna Wheeler.
She eventually married a Freeman. ? Griffin (Dallas'father) probably died in 1886 because
there were two girls, Ola and Nollie, who went to the Catholic orphanage in Savannah at
that time. Dallas also had two brothers, Richard Franklin Taylor Griffin and Gazzie Lamar
Griffin. Gazzie ended up in Jacksonville, FL and died sometime during WWII. Dallas married
a Eugenia Gunter from SC. Daughter of Virgil Alexander Gunter and Mary Taylor. Would
appreciate it if anyone has any info on what Dallas' father's name was. My dad remembers a
lot of Gunter info and I have that line pretty far back but am not having much luck on the
Griffin side. Thanks for your help. You can e-mail me @ anlastumpe@aol.com
Feb 20, 1999 21:55
I left off the fact that Dallas Caswell Griffin ended up living in Valdosta, GA where
my father, Edward Leroy was born. He and my grandmother are both buried there in I believe
the name of the cemetery is Sunset Hills. Thanks again for any help.

Hi: I too am trying to find the enroads to the S. Ga. Lott families. My Gr-Grandfather
was Joel Lott. My Grandfather was Wiley Lott. My father was Hugh Lott. There are lots of
lotts around that area. However, there seems to be such a big ole family mystery. When
Wiley was a young man he and his then wife (Mary Ann Newbern) left the vicinity of Quitman
GA. (This is where my father was born in 1904) and they then traveled around S. Ga, N. Fl
and the family finally setteled in or around Columbus, GA. In that treck Mary Ann died.
Wiley met and married at least 2 other wives. I have no records of any names for the 2nd
& 3rd wives. I grew up around the Columbus area and thought we were the only Lott
family around. All my aunts and uncles were older when I was born. They are now all
deseased. Any information would be helpful and greatly appreciated. Thanks gloria

Amanda, This is in response to your recent posting concerning James Cox. Is this James
Cox that you are referring to the one that married Frances Wilkinson? This James and his
sister (Jerushua Cox b. 1831 - my ancestor) were the illegitimate children of James
Fullwood and Mary Beverly (per Folks Huxford's notes). Mary was married to a James Cox and
was Mrs. Mary Cox when the illegitimate children were born. Interestingly, she gave them
the Cox name. You can see Jerushua's tombstone in Pilgrim's Rest cemetery near Waynesville
Georgia. Someone in the family seems to have attempted to scratch the Cox name from it.
Interesting. Greg Wainright

Dear Greg: I am trying to locate any information on an ALEXANDER or FREDERICK DOUGLAS,
living in Montgomery Co., Ga @1790 - 1810. His son was also ALEXANDER who was married to
DICY WATSON. They had several children, one which was named ALEXANDER B. (or A.B.) DOUGLAS
who was married to MISSOURI MORRISON. I cannot make the certain distinction as to direct
line of parents of my Alexander who was born @1797. It seems as if each generation named
sons either Frederick or Alexander - and the brothers named their sons Frederick or
Alexander. If anyone has ANY informatin on this line, please let me know. Thanks for the
opportunity to present this information. I would also be interested in any information
regarding ELIAS HARDY McCLELLAND or BENJAMIN T. BAGLEY; both of which would have lived in

Have been running into brick walls looking for James Cicero Licurgus Bennett. There are
a couple of James C.L. Bennetts out there but none of the data fits. My James C.L. Bennett
married Elizabeth Cone or Coan in St. Johns County, Florida in 1864. They settled later in
Volusia County, Florida where at least one of the four know children was born. From there
I don't know. But in the 1900 census of DeSoto County, Elizabeth was a widow and living
with her daughter Mary Bennett Whidden and Eli Whidden and children. I assume that James
and Elizabeth both migrated from Georgia, but don't know when. I have no date of birth for
James, but Elizabeth was born in 1840. These are my ggrandparents and I certainly would
like to clear up this mystery. Is there anyone out there who might have the info I need??
I hope so. Thanks, Doris Smith, email:dorisfl6@bellatlantic.net

I need help with ancestry of Dicy Ogden. Dicy and her orphans are recorded in the early
land lotteries for Appling County. Her known children were Elijah who married Jane
Reddish, Issac who married Minerva Knight, and Dicy Jane who married John Strickland. I

are recorded in Tattnall County in the early 1800's. There are all sorts of tales about
who Dicy was, but I hope someone can shed a little better light on this lady. THANKS, Jim

Searching for wife of James W. Rowland (Charlton Co 1850--Clinch County 1860) Mary Ann,

Will greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me on the descendants of Nancy
Johnson, b Aug 1845, Camden Co, GA; d, July 23, 1912, Atkinson, Brantley Co, GA. I believe
she's buried at High Bluff Cemetery in Brantley Co. Nancy was a daughter of John M.
Johnson, b 1803, SC and his wife Hannah Surrency, b 1809, SC. Nancy Johnson md John Green
abt 1869. John Green was b Mar 1849 in Ga. In the 1900 Census, the following children were
living at home: Laura (b Jul 1880), John Matthew (b Jul 1875), Erick E (b Feb 1886), L. ?
A. (b Jan 1888), Joseph (b abt 1890); however, it was stated that they had had 10 children
and that 9 of them were still living. Nancy and John Green were not listed in the 1870 or
1880 Charlton Co Censuses. Am wondering if they may have been in Brantley Co, since
Nancy's obituary stated she was living with one of her sons in Atkinson, GA at the time of
her death. Mr McClelland kindly checked the Brantley Co Cemetery book for me, but found
only Nancy and her son John Matthew Green buried at High Bluff.
