PACE
Sandy Whittington 12/31/96
Seeking documented proof that John PACE (b.1801) was the son of
Stephen PACE (b.1779). They moved to Heard County sometime
after 1826; both appear in the 1860 census of Heard County. Believe
Stephen died in October 1864. Would appreciate any leads, as I understand
the courthouse burned in 1894, destroying earlier documents (such as Stephen's
will if he had one).
WARE
Kate Shue 12/31/96
My grandmother had two brothers who both died young, probably in the 1880's
or 1890's. Their names were Mims Snow WARE and Andrew Davis WARE.
They were the sons of Henry G. WARE and Emily Parker SNOW.
Henry G. WARE died in 1883, probably in Heard Co. Sometime
after that Emily married a Mr. MORROW and moved to Valdosta.
So the brothers could have died in either place. Need to find place and
date of these deaths. Any help is appreciated.

HILL
Byron Hill 11/15/96
I have a lot of information on HILL families of Heard County.
There is a previously published lineage mistake that I would be happy to
clear up for any researchers who are working on these families. Heard
County researchers often refer to the book entitled "Heard County
History 1830-1990", compiled by The Heard County Historical Society.
This particular book contains a major mistake on the ancestry of William
L. Flournoy "Bud" HILL, son of James Harvey HILL
and Atha "Athey" Aimee BARKER. Please contact me if you
are connected with this family and I will give you the corrected ancestry
information. The children of James Harvey HILL and Atha "Athey"
Aimee BARKER are; William L. Flournoy "Bud" HILL,
born November 16, 1855 in Heard County, Georgia, who married Martha
Luella MOSELY, Thomas M. HILL, born about 1857 in Heard
County, Georgia, who married Ann Thomas "Tommie" DANIEL,
James Manley HILL, born about 1859 in Heard County, Georgia,

(3) Angie HEARD, Josey HILL (Twin), born about 1861 in Heard
County, Georgia, and Sally Jane HILL (Twin), born about 1861
in Heard County, Georgia, who married William Valentine BRAZEAL.
I am descended from William L. Flournoy "Bud" HILL and
Martha Luella MOSELY. Their children (all born in Heard Co. GA)
were: Zolley Coffer HILL, born June 06, 1885, George Byron HILL,
Sr., born April 10, 1888, who married Winnie Vesta COMBS August

WALKER, MOZELY (MOSLEY/MOZELEY)
Byron Hill 11/8/96
Looking for the parents of Frances Permelia WALKER (b.ca.1828 SC)
who married Benjamin F. MOZELY (MOSLEY/MOZELEY) b.Nov.14,1820 SC.
We know from family tradition that we are in some way related to Captain
William A. WALKER (CSA). It appears that our line of WALKERs
and MOSELYs came from SC. The WALKERs were in Heard
Co. before 1860, possibly earlier. The MOSELYs appear to have
moved to Heard Co. prior to 1850. The date of the families moving
from SC could possibly be pinpointed by inspecting the children
of Benjamin F. MOSELY in the 1860 census records. There is a large
WALKER family cemetery in Heard County.

TAYLOR
Ann Nicholas 10/26/96
I am looking for the marriage record of Newton J. TAYLOR and Minerva
J. ________? Newton J. was living in Carroll Co. on the 1870 census.
On the 1880 census they lived in Carroll Co. and had several children.
I believe that Minerva J. probably lived in an adjoining county and that
is where they were married. There is no record of their marriage in Carroll
Co. so I am searching the surrounding counties in hopes of finding
a record there. The marriage probably took place around 1873. Thanks for
your help,
