Cousin Farrel, I've turned up new FAVER information - have you been to Our Georgia Roots lately? I didn't realize we were related to BOLTONS but I did see a few in your Family Tree.

Do any of the names in the post sound familiar?

Luckie.

Farrel - I also intended to mention - Keith GIDDEON has no blood connection to Gideon Bunch. Other than his POWELL relatives being BUNCH neighbors!

Researching Morrison family of Elbert County.
Albert Morrison b. Sept. 1872 Elbert County m. Sallie Williams b. Sept. 1874 Elbert County. Sallie was the daughter of Flem Williams and Georgiana Hall and Albert was the sun of Bartlett and Savanna Morrison of Elbert County.
I descend from Albert and Sallie's daughter Minnie, b. Sept. 1889 Elbert County and William HAWKINS b. 1880-1881 Wilkes County, son of Sanders HAWKINS and Anna Eliza BURNS.

Am interested in locating information on Jasper J. MORRISON, listed as the only slave owner of this surname in Elbert County in 1860. I can't pull estate file records because he didn't die until 23 Jan. 1897. He was the son of Washington MORRISON and Polly GRAY b. 1817.
