Tennessee
Cousins
An immense amount of genealogical data is on tap in this
well-known book, which is not confined to Tennessee but reaches out to
the Carolinas, Georgia, Maryland, Virginia, and other Southern states as
well. Over 6,000 names are in the index, with some names having as many
as fifty references. All Tennessee counties are covered, each with pertinent
genealogical data such as abstracts of wills and deeds, tombstone
inscriptions, marriage records, and sketches of early settlers. The most
important records include First Court Records of Washington District,
the Marriage Records of Greene, Washington, Jefferson and Knox counties,
and Revolutionary Soldiers of Roane County. "This well-known and well-used book contains a considerable body
of genealogical records from most of Tennessee's counties. . . .it is an
extremely valuable tool, primarily for its index, which has one of the
best clues to the specific county or counties of Tennessee in which a
sought-for family may have lived at one time. No library offering
services to Tennessee genealogical researchers should be without it."--Tennessee
Historical Quarterly (Spring 1969). "It contains a large amount of genealogical and historical data
covering not only Tennessee but also the Carolinas, Georgia, Maryland,
Virginia and other Southern states."--"Ansearchin' News," Tennessee
Genealogical Society, Vol. 16, No. 1, 1969. hardcover, viii+811 pgs |

The
Moravians in Georgia, 1735-1740 The Moravian Brethren are one of the most notable
of the pietistic sects to emerge from the Protestant Reformation.
Persecuted during the religious wars of the 17th century, the Brethren
left their native Moravia, and later their protected status under Count
Zinzendorf of Saxony, in favor of the more tolerant environs of England,
Holland, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and, in the instance of this
work, the settlement of Savannah, Georgia. Mrs. Fries here documents the
brief history of the Moravian community in Georgia, commencing with an
overview of the sect and continuing through the negotiations between
Brethren leader August Spangenburg and Georgia founder General James
Oglethorpe, establishment of the Brethren community in Savannah,
discussions with the Wesley brothers (founders of the Methodist Church
in America), missionary work among the Creeks, and the departure of the
Moravians for England, Pennsylvania, and other locations. The Moravians ultimately vacated Savannah because
their pacifist credo prevented them from serving in the colony's defense
against a threatened invasion from Spanish Florida. In addition to the
author's running account of these developments, genealogists will find
numerous references to transfers of land involving the Moravians,
settlement maps, passenger lists of Moravian arrivals, a brief list of
Moravian deaths in Georgia, and a name index to the persons mentioned in
the text. |

Sketches of Some of the First Settlers of Upper Georgia, of the
Cherokees, and the Author
Gilmer's Georgians, as this work is usually referred to, is a
classic account of the first settlers of Upper Georgia. Clearfield's
edition is a reprint of the revised and corrected edition of 1926 and
includes an index prepared by the Georgia Department of Archives and
History in 1965. The region covered by Gilmer's Georgians at one time
included one-third of the settlers in the state, which helps to explain
why the first two sections of the work are of special interest to
genealogists. The book commences with an account of the settlement made
by a number of Virginia families on the Broad River immediately after
the Revolutionary War, with histories of the more prominent families.
Next comes a description of the settlement made by various Carolinians
in that part of Georgia now included in Wilkes and Lincoln counties.
Overall Gilmer's Georgians refers to over a thousand early settlers of
Upper Georgia, with genealogies of the following main families: Andrew,
Barnett, Bibb, Campbell, Clark, Crawford, Dooly, Gilbert, Gilmer,
Grattan, Hart, Harvie, Johnson, Lewis, Long, Mathews, McGehee,
Meriwether, Strother, and Taliaferro. The book's largely
autobiographical final section also treats the relations between the
Creeks and Cherokees and the State of Georgia and the United States,
highlighting some of the causes and the manner of the Indians' removal.

The
Georgians
Genealogies of Pioneer Families This is
a collection of 283 genealogies which Mrs. Austin compiled over a period
of twenty years as a professional genealogist. Taken as a whole, it
represents a cross-section of pioneer Georgia families, and its
publication is intended to assist others researching these same
families. Although the earliest Georgia settlers were brought in by General
Oglethorpe in 1733, the majority of the settlers--from Connecticut,
Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas, arrived after the Revolution,
taking up bounty grants, joining in the land lotteries, and settling
lands surrendered in the Indian treaties. While this work deals with
some of Oglethorpe's settlers, the vast majority of the genealogies deal
with Georgians who descend from settlers from other states. The following is a partial list of the families covered: Adair,
Appling, Ashe, Ashmore, Austin, Aycock, Ayres, Bagwell, Bealle, Benton,
Blackstock, Bloodworth, Blount, Boatright, Bone, Bonnell, Boyett,
Brantley, Brooke, Buckner, Burney, Burrell, Camp, Carmichael, Catching,

Georgia Bible Records
This collection of Georgia Bible Records contains
an itemized list of the births, marriages, and deaths found in
approximately 1,000 family Bibles! Included are Bible records of some of
Georgia's first settlers and prominent figures, as well as records of
ordinary individuals, some of whom migrated to or from other states.
Many of the records were sent to the compiler over a twenty-year period
by the actual owners of the Bibles, while others she copied from Bibles
located in the Georgia State Archives and the University of Georgia
Library, or from genealogical publications. The collection spans a
period stretching from the early 1700s to the 1900s, and because of its
range and diversity it should be a gold mine to the researcher of
Georgia families. It is absolutely unique, of course, and cannot be
duplicated by any other body of records, published or manuscript. In
all, some 20,000 persons are named in these records which often span
several generations in a family. 538 pgs,
