Hello, everyone. I am researching both my and my husband's families. Here we go...surnames of major importance are Sanders and Stewart. Elias Sanders is the end of my paternal line - he was born in MD or NC about 1775 and married Mary Carter. They moved to Georgia and are buried in Hart County. Elias was supposedly part Indian, but cannot confirm this nor his parents. There must be someone, somewhere that can help with this.
As for my husband's side, George H. Stewart is the end of the line. He was born about 1813 in Barrow County, GA and married Sarah Ann Human. Am also looking for Jones from Murphy, NC.Anything would be greatly appreciated.
Allied lines for Sanders are Vickery and Madden. For my maternal side, lines are Osborne, Reed, Bailey and others. I will gladly share my information!
