Bio and Links
Bio Photo My name is Rhonda. I am a 62 year old mother of five and grandmother of five. I work in the airline industry and genealogy is my hobby. These are some of my family lines:

Causey, Cowart, Wells, Joiner, Humphries, Clary, Ring, Redman, Gentry, Groseclose, Ward, Kegans, Cannon, Combs, Nickell, Brady, Smallwood, Philpot, James, Freeman, Coleman, Smith, Buzan. I know there are many Freemans. My line can be proven to go back to William M. Freeman and wife Elizabeth Redman who were in the 1860 Fannin Co. Ga. census. I believe he was the son of Bailey M. Freeman, who died in 1852 in Carroll Co. GA.

To anyone who has transferred a memorial to me of my family, THANK YOU!! If I have any of your relatives besides Rev War soldiers, and you would like a transfer, please contact me via the "edit" button on the memorial, and leave your FAG number, it makes a transfer so much easier!!! Remember, you don't have to "own" a memorial to place info in the bio. I answer all edits in a day, 2 at the most. There is a lot of deleting of transfers going on, and even lifting photos without permission. This is not only against Findagrave rules, it is unethical. I don't mind transferring your relatives to you, but if I transfer them to you, and you delete them, I will contact admin, and they will transfer it back to me. If you would like to use any of my photos for your family genealogy, please ask. Please do not post bio info in the flower section. Just send it to me and I will post it. I will even give you credit, just let me know. The flower section is not for bio info, unless you cannot get hold of the creator!

Our early pioneers who were born in the 1700s and early 1800s deserve more than an empty bio, please try to put something about them on their memorials. Thanks!!

I have finally found the parents of Sarah Evaline Humphries. Many thanks to my distant cousin Sue, who is a descendant of Sarah's brother. My next genealogical dead end is Sarah/Sallie Nickell, and her husband, Samuel Combs. She was born ca 1830, possibly in VA. and was Cherokee. A Samuel Combs b 1807 married a Sarah/Sallie Nickell in Morgan Co KY, and they had at least 7 children. Samuel Combs married Sarah NICKELL perf by W W GRAY per the Marriage Records of Morgan County, Kentucky, 1821-1859. They are next found in Rowan Co KY (Used to be Morgan) in 1860. We can't find them in 1850:

HH 59
Samuel COMBS 53 farmer Ky
Sally 32 housewife
Minerva 16
Jeremiah 10
John 9
Samuel 7
Leonard 4
James E. 2

Later a daughter named Mary was born. She married a Richardson, and then Sally, son Samuel, James and Mary went west, traveling pretty much along the trail of tears, arriving in Oklahoma Territory. We don't know what happened to father Samuel.

Thanks to my sister, Kim, for all of the information that she has contributed to our family memorials.

If I have made any errors in transcribing or typing, please let me know! I love adding middle names and maiden names and relationship links, so don't hesitate to let me know of any that need to be filled in!

RE: Thomas Grant
I'm sorry I don't. His data also came from that book. If you feel inspired it might be worth a google.

Lol, right?! I read it in a book on google books. I was researching some other guy and came across a history of Georgia organized by county. In it there were a few brief descriptions and a few grave inscriptions, mainly of patriot graves. If you're interested I can pull up the reference from my history.

Pvt. Job Scott Bird
I am a descendent of: Philemon Bird, b. 1740 Middlesex, VA, d. 1810 Wilkes Co., GA.; Job Bird. b. abt. 1767 VA, d. 1818 Carroll Co. GA; Job Scott Bird b. abt. 1803, Wilkes or Carroll Co., GA, d. 1862 Aetna Coal Mines.
MY QUESTION IS: I WOULD THINK THAT PVT. JOB SCOTT BIRD, B. 1828 AS YOU ENTERED ON FIND A GRAVE WOULD BE SON OF Job Scott Bird b. abt. 1803 and that your entry for Pvt. Job Scott Bird should not be death at Aetna Coal Mines.
WHY DID YOU ENTER THIS PVT. JOB SCOTT BIRD DEATH AT AETNA COAL MINES?
