Samuel C. Woody From: Martha A. Smith srillini@soltec.net Jean: Found your gen page with the Daily Tribune. I have been looking for so very long into the life of Samuel C. Woody. He was the father of Leon Decatur (Bud) Woody who
was my gggrandfather. I have found him for the last time on the 1880 Bartow County Census and nothing since then. My Bud Woody who was the father of my grandmother Addie Lulu Edwards Woody lived in Fairmount and all his children were born on his farm area. My grandmother died in Cartersville, GA. I have the names of all of Samuel C. and Hannah Woody from the census starting in Murray County and down to Cass, back to Murray and then back to Bartow in the Pine Log area. My cousins who live in Dalton, Calhoun, Cartersville and the entire area are filled with this family. My 2nd cousin is Arthur Lee Woody, former Deputy Sheriff. No body knew Samuel and knew nothing about him. Samuel had a son named Samuel that died in Fairmount. Samuel said he was born in North Carolina. I am on the Woody Mail List and most came from the Dahlonega area and each year they have a reunion but no person has come up with the lineage of Samuel and Hannah. Woody Gap is where most of the Woody's are located. I have searched marriage records in Whitfield, Gordon, Cherokee, Murray and Fannin and cannot find a marriage record for Samuel. Can you help me? Martha Mealer Smith srillini@soltec.net
ANSWER: Martha, Please send me some dates. I checked the Marriage records and I do not find them in what I have. We have the microfilm of the marriages for Cass/Bartow County and if you send dates we can check it out for you, I checked the 1840-50 and 1870 Cass/Bartow County census and came up zip

Craft Family From:GENJEANH@aol.com I am looking for the parents of Jeptha V. Craft born about 1820 in Georgia. Any help you can give me will be appreciated.Thanks,Jean ANSWER: If your ancestor was born around 1820, it was not in Cass/Bartow County, unless the parents were missionaries to the Cherokee Indians, which is possible but not very probable.

Fisher Craft, he may be able to help you, he and his wife have done a lot of research. ldcraft@juno.com in Atlanta

Re: Death Certificate From: dcrain1845@aol.com Harriet S. Caroline Nowlin Bagwell. Died 29 May 1920 in Adairsville, Bartow County, Georgia. Buried in Smith Cemetery, outside of Rome. The only Smith Cemetery I have found was in Shannon, which I believe is a part of Floyd County. A mystery. The other members of her family were buried in Rome.Jim ANSWER: Jim I checked the Shannon Cemetery listing I have the Dry Creek Baptist and Barnsley Methodist Cemeteries. These are in Bartow County, I do not find a Bagwell I will check with a friend that has Bagwell ancestors and see if the name fits any of hers. The Death certificates do not start in Bartow County until 1930's and are very skimpy. You might try Barton;s Funeral home in Adairsville or Parnick Jennings in Rome, They have some old records.
