I am researching family
going back to the early 1800's in Henry & Spalding Counties, Georgia
(and even earlier). States of note are Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina,
North Carolina and Virginia. If you find something of interest here, or
if you find any long-lost relatives here, please let me know. Also, be
sure to check back... these pages are continuously under revision. **DISCLAIMER!
- As with most genealogical work, this work includes the elements of time,
partial records, and human imperfections. Errors are always possible,
so please do not take all of these findings, especially those older than
100 years, as absolute truth. Where possible, I will list sources for
my information, and would welcome any questions, corrections, and suggestions
you might have.
The easiest way to use this page is to click on the family surname
you are interested in immediatedly below and you will see further information
on that family. I am almost always adding information to this as time
allows. (or

Ogletree Bible Record Images
Below
are links to 4 scans of a Bible record of particular interest to those
researching the children of Absalom Ogletree (1778-1846). Note, since
these are scans of photocopies, which are themselves copies of poor originals,
the scans are large files and may take a bit of time to download.
