I am helping my brother in law with his family
history. His great great great grandfather was Josiah Ward who was
born
about 1825. He resided in Guliford County, North Carolina. He was
the
son of William Crumpton (who was half Cherokee Indian) and Hannah
Ward.
Josiah took his mother's maiden name as was the Indian tradition. He
probably initially was in Guliford County, NC with his parents. He
and his
wife returned to the Indian reservation in Tennessee and later went
to
Russell County, Kentucky. Josiah's father was William CRUMPTON who
was born
about 1800. He was the son of Indian Gentry and Lucy Crumpton. He
took his
mother's maiden name as was the Indian tradition. He left the Indian
Reservation for North Carolina coastal region central Guliford
County. His
mother was Hannah WARD. Indian GENTRY supposedly was a full blooded
Cherokee
Indian from the Blue Ridge Mountains, West Tennessee, known as the
Cherokee
Nation. Indian Gentry married Lucy CRUMPTON.

index, contains the names of approx. 5,000 people mentioned in

people out of state who had passed through North GA or still had
relatives still living in N. GA.
It is an excellent research tool for family researchers who had

My ancestor, John White, lived his last years in Polk County. I am
trying to locate his grave. He served in the Revolutionary War and
was originally from South Carolina. He served in the South Carolina
militia. I believe he passed away around 1850. He was over 100 years
old then.
Thank you,

Looking for relatives of Martha Jane (Texas) Hughes born in 1860. She
married James Henry Arnold in 1876. Their children were- Samuel
Henry, Martha, Ester Magaline, Cora, Fannie, Mary Jane.
We have heard family stories that Martha Jane died in 1893 and her
baby was under a year old , which was Mary Jane. Mary Jane lived with
Liz Rogers, who we think was Martha Jane Hughes' sister.
Any help on the family of Martha Jane Hughes' parents and siblings
will be greatly appreciated.
