ALLEN - Researching the ancestors of GIDEON ALLEN who lived in Twiggs county from 1820's to 1845. He was born April 22, 1804 in North Carolina and married MARY ANN HORN 1828 in Twiggs County, GA, daughter of JOAB HORN and NANCY DIXON. Both he and his wife were members of the Richland Baptist Church. Gideon Allen's family left Twiggs County, GA and settled in Bossier Parish, LA in 1845. While doing my Twiggs County Georgia research, I encountered a few Allen families who were in the area during the time as Gideon Allen. A couple of these families appear to be closely linked to him, perhaps siblings. I have documented this on a web site I maintain at www.allensofmarietta.com. Please contact me if you have any information on Gideon Allen, or any other Allen family who lived in Twiggs County during this time period. Thanks. Cary Allen 11/14/2004

BURNEY Green Blount – I am trying to find directions to the McCallum Cemetery, where Burney and his wife Sarah Frances Ball Burney are buried. His sons may also be buried there. The list of cemeteries states Burney Cemetery is located one mile west of the site of Old Ball’s Church. That places it just inside Twiggs County. My great grandmother, who was his granddaughter-in-law, wrote they are buried at McCallum, which is shown on DOT maps south of Ball Church Road near McCallum’s Pond. Blue Chip Road appears to head in that direction, but everything is Posted. Has anyone been there? Is it accessible from Blue Chip Road or from Magnolia Street in Jeffersonville? Rumor has these two roads used to intersect. Who owns the land where it is located? Thank you for any assistance you can give. JDorsey

THAMES - In April 1813, Thomas Thames and his wife Nancy (this is Nancy Tolar whom he married in Cumberland County, NC in 1805) joined the Stone Creek Baptist Church. Thomas was born in Bladen County NC about 1765 and was a Revolutionary Soldier according to the Georgia Land Lottery of 1827 when his widow Nancy applied for a draw & received land in Lee County GA. Nancy Tolar was Thomas' second wife. The name of his first wife is unknown but according to census records he had at least 8 children by his first marriage. One of these children was my direct ancestor, Thomas Jefferson Thames born 1792 in Cumberland County NC (died August 1837 in Crawford County GA). Thomas Jefferson Thames married Rebecca Ray about 1820. Rebecca (born 1799 Columbia Co., GA) is the daughter of Benjamin & Edy Ray of Twiggs County. Thomas Thames died between 1815 and 1826 and may be buried at the old Stone Creek Church cemetery.

Thomas Jefferson Thames was a soldier in the War of 1812. (Enlistment Feb. 16, 1815 to August 5, 1815; actually served February 16, 1815 until April 3, 1815 when discharged at Ft. Hawkins and returned to residence in Jones County {12 miles}, rank Private. Was a member of Captain Ebenezer Moore’s Company of Infantry, Detachment of Georgia Militia, commanded by Major John H. Brodnax.) He was listed as Ensign, Twiggs Co. GA Oct. 12, 1819 - May 26, 1820 (GA Military Records, 1808-1829 pg. 44.)
and Captain, Twiggs Co. GA March 6, 1820 - December 12, 1821 (same source on page 49). Thames District of 1827 Georgia Land Lottery District is named for him.

Thomas Jefferson Thames and his family were living in the Crawford/Houston County area of Georgia by 1829 when he is listed as one of 5 builders of the Union Meeting House (aka Little Union Primitive Baptist Church) of Crawford County but very near the Houston County line at that time.

I am trying to find any Twiggs County records related to the Thames family prior to 1833. Any information would be appreciated. Cheryl Aultman 7/6/2005

WETHERSBY - I am searching for the wife of Gideon A. Wethersby. She was born about 1803
in Georgia, and was named Winifred or Winiford. She and Gideon were married

Gideon received land in Twiggs County in the 1827 Georgia Land Lottery.
Gideon was the overseer for Council S. Bryan in 1829, but later moved to
Houston County (1830), then Randolph County (1840), then Coosa County,
Alabama by 1850. His family continued to move around after 1850.
