KILGORE. Around 1820 Charles (Charley) KILGORE moved to Baldwin Co., before this time I believe he lived in Hancock Co. (I'm not sure) Charles was still in Baldwin Co. in 1830, but after this time I am unable to located him. I am looking for info on his family.  In 1840 living in the same neighbor hood (and I believe the same house) was Hannah KILGORE. I don't know if this was his wife or daughter.  Hannah was not in the 1850 Baldwin co. census but a John KILGORE was on the census and when I looked up his marriage certificate he was from Baldwin Co. Any information concerning this Charles, Hannah and John will be greatly appreciated. Thank You

LANGFORD/LANKFORD. My 3x great grandfather Edmond (Edward) Langford won a prize on the 1805 Lottery for land in Baldwin Co. He was on the 1820 census with his family. He migrated to Miss. Terr. and was on the 1830 census. I am looking for his tax records, land records and any others pertaining to him. Prior to the move to Baldwin he lived in Liberty Co. The family name was also spelled Lankford even on the same documents as was Edmonds name spelled with a "u" or as Edward. Very confusing when looking for him. Thank you.

LEWIS. I am looking for information regarding the history of Dr. John Edward Lewis of Baldwin Co. John E. Lewis graduated from the University of Pensysvania in 1840 with an M.D. and listed his home as Baldwin, Georgia. He had a brother, Robert, who was deaf. They both left Georgia between 1840-1843 and moved to Sabine, Alabama then moved again to Louisiana around 1850. Both Dr. John Edward Lewis and Robert Lewis died in Louisiana.
It is very likely that the family of these men had been in the Baldwin Co. area for several decades and relatives could still be living there. John E. Lewis was born in 1814 and in the 1850 census listed his birthplace as Georgia. On 26 March 1821 Fanny Lewis applied for the administration of her deceased husband, John Lewis. In Sept 1827 she sold 2 slaves "for the benefit of Robert Lewis and John Edward Lewis, minor children of John Lewis, deceased--Fanny Lewis, guardian." I am quite sure that this John Lewis and Fanny Lewis are the parents of our Dr. Lewis. There is also a Dr. Richard Lewis of Hancock County who started his practice in Powelton in 1819. It looks as if he may be related to John and Fanny Lewis since she sold a negro and carriage to pay a debt to him. He married Mary Womack on June 7, 1821 in Hancock Co. and she died one year later on 20 July 1822 with and infant child at the age of 20. He could easily be an uncle to our Dr. John E. Lewis. I would appreciate any information regarding anyone in this Lewis line. Thank you.

MCCOY/MEEKS. I am searching for a Baldwin County family connection to my grandmother, Georgia Alice McCoy, b: 18 March 1891 in or near Milledgeville. She may be related in some way to Levi William McCoy born in 1855. He had 5 brothers. There may also be a connection to James B. McCoy who m: Dosia BROWN 17 Feb 1880 or Robert JASPER who m: Fannie Brown 5 Jan 1880. Georgia had a sister Mary and a brother Samuel. She married Clayton E. MEEKS, date unknown. She left GA with Clayton and had a child Willie Pearl on 6 Sept. 1914 in Tusculoosa. AL. Once the two left GA there was no contact with family. My mother died longing to have some knowledge of her family as she was an only child. I hope that I can piece some of the puzzle together. Both Georgia and Clayton worked in the Cotton Mills and Clayton was also a carpenter. Any help would be appreciated.

McMILLIAN. I'm searching for information on James Hatton McMILLAN and ancestors. The information I have is all pieced together from family stories. Can anyone help verify or disclaim any of it? Family stories tell that James' father, James Wilson McMillan, came from Scotland, settled in Baldwin County and built The McMillan Brick Company. James W. McMillan supposedly won the bid to provide the bricks in the construction of the insane asylum. The Milledgeville Chronology from the Mary Vinson Memorial Library lists a J.W. McMillan house being constructed in 1840, and that the asylum received government funding in 1841. However, a volunteer lookup of the 1850 Baldwin County Census failed to find any McMillan's.
James Wilson McMillan, married _?_ (three separate sources produce three different names for James' wife; Harriet, Hattie, and Geneva Adalgo). They had many children, one of them being James Hatton McMillan.
James Hatton McMillan, b. ?, d. circa 1945, married Eliza "Lidie" Pricilla
Jordan, b. circa 1876, d.?, had 4 children; James Jordan McMillan, Marion
Wilson McMillan (1914-1998), Ruby McMillan and Geneva McMillan.
Any help would be appreciated.

MILLER. Susan Miller was born in 1826, in Milledgeville, according to family papers, but no documentation. Her parents were Elizabeth and Martin Miller, and they supposedly had a large plantation outside Milledgeville.  I have been unable, long distance, to check for any tax records, so can't prove that this was true.  Susan Ann married Reuben Bullard in 1841, in Helena, Ark (why Arkansas?) and they settled finally before the 1850 census in Wheeling (W)Va. Family lore says that Martin sold his property before the onset of the War Between the States , and was traveling up river, in KY, when he was robbed and murdered by his secretary. It's possible that he was traveling to Wheeling, and his daughter, Susan. Any help anyone can give me concerning Martin, Susan Ann and Elizabeth would sure be appreciated!

ODEM. I am seeking information on a orphanage located in Milledgeville around 1895. Looking for information on a person that went there that year. Her name FANNIE MAE ODEM b 1885. (Fannie might have been short for Frances, or maybe a nick name ) She was born 10 May 1885 She thought she had 2 bro. 1 sister, she thought their names were John, Solmon, either Martha or Myrtle. If anyone has any information on the orphanage please let me know. Rumor has it that it burned down in the early 1900's.
I am trying to locate any information on the Mumford Home for Children, that used to be in Milledgeville, GA. It burned down sometime after 1895 . My Grandmother was put in the home when she was 10 yrs, old, along with other sibblings. I am trying to locate any of my grandmothers family, or who her mother or father was. can you give me any information on this home or how I can find out anything about it where I can find a list on the children they had back then. My question is if there were records, would the records of the children that were there be at the city courthouse or at the state capital. If anyone has information please let me know, I am desperately trying to trace this lady for my friend.
Mae Kotal
