Bunn, Seaborn L.
My brick wall is Seaborn L. Bunn, b.7-12-1857 d.1-12-1943, buried in Worthville Baptist Chuch cemetery (based on the book, Butts County Georgia Cemeteries, published by the Butts County Genealogical Society). I cannot find his parents. The 1880 census states that his father was born in Georgia. In the 1880 census, he is married to a Margret and they have a son, Franklin, 2 years old. But by 1885, his wife and son must have died, because he married Minnie Evelyn Parker in Henry County, Georgia. Their first-born son, Grover Jackson Bunn, was my grandfather.
I would like to see if he appears anywhere on the 1870 or 1860 census and who his parents are. - June 9, 2003

GLASS, Charlie
I am trying to find out if Charles Glass was acquitted for the murder of Negro Lewis Ryal or Ryals at Indian Springs. The court case was supposed to be heard by a Judge Bailey in August 1891. The murder
occurred around June 1891. I'm doing research for a book and believe
that Charlie Glass came from Georgia to a desolate ranch in Utah to continue his life after being put in jail and accused of murder in Butts County. I cannot find out if he escaped jail under Sheriff Beauchamp or
if he was acquitted by Judge Bailey for the murder. I have searched the 1890's on the website and only found the mention of his arrest. Ed
Crawford was apparently an accomplice. I believe four men in all were
accused of the murder from what I've read, but I've not been able to
find any more detail.

Thomas L. Tanner, b. 1802, drew land from there in 1836. His wife was named Elizabeth______. Does anyone know who he married? Was it a Morris? This Thomas L. Tanner died 1837 and in 1840 an Elizabeth, apparently his widow, was in Dekalb County next door to Silas and she and Silas sold some of the land Thomas had drawn in 1836. Later, it appears this same Elizabeth and a Joel Jefferson Tanner , b. 1807, are involved in a similar land deal.
Were Thomas L., Silas B., and Joel J Tanner sons of Gideon?
