UPTON posted by Margaret on Thursday, July 15, 1999: I'm researching the family of James UPTON b. 1773-1780 d. 1830-1840 Henry Co., GA. I would appreciate any info on the man......expecially where he is buried if anyone has any knowledge of it. I'm really stumped. Thanks for any help.

GREER posted by Bertie O'Quin on Thursday, July 15, 1999: Henry Greer married Lucy Bonner in Walton County, Ga on 2 Apr 1835. I believe that this might be a son of Henry Greer and Nancy Hobbs, who had 5 boys and 2 daughters born in Greene Co, Ga. Nancy died about 1840. Henry married Polly Nichols in 1845 in Greene Co and later relocated to Muscogee Co, where Polly died, after the 1850 census. If you have any info on these families, will be happy to exchange data. I have much from James the Immigrant, thru 10 generations, of most of Aquilla Greer, Jr and Elizabeth Bandy descendants. THanks

INFORMATION posted by Jack Hamilton on Wednesday, July 21, 1999: I am trying to locate Old Alcovy Cemetery in Walton County. I would appreciate any information anyone may have.

RILEY posted by Walter Mason on Friday, July 23, 1999: I am looking for information on the RILEY family who were in that part of Newton Co now in Rockdale from about 1827-1845. Paddy RILEY, brother of Abraham is thought to be buried at Middle Ridge, about 10 miles from Conyers. He was a bachelor, and came from Laurens Co. SC. Abraham lived below Old Salem Campground, which I gather is still in Newton Co. His wife Hannah and her daughter Frances are buried on their farm. Any help in establishing residency of the RILEYs, and the timeframe of their residence in the area will be greatly appreciated. I will be glad to share the largely anecdotal information which I have with anyone interested in the RILEYS. Mrs. Emma RILEY WOODS of Conyers had Abraham's bible in the early 1900's. Any information on her and her descendents would also be most welcome! Walter MASON
