Drury Wheat in 1850 Murray Co. GA

By Cynthia Rodriguez December 10, 2008 at 12:37:18

I found these two marriage records and went looking for their family connections... Here are the census records from 1850 Murray Co. GA that tie these kids all together with DRURY WHEAT. (I've given follow-on notes for 1840, 1860 and 1870 where appropriate.) Does anyone know the connection of Drury Wheat to Bassel Wheat in Laurens Co, SC?

#1. Mary Jane WHEAT and William M. CAMPBELL 25 Mar 1847 in Murray GA

Beside is Margaret CAMBELL 1m.15-20, 1m.30-40, // 1f.15-20
