1. HERRIN, Would like any information on the
William E. Herrin family.
William Elmore Herrin (1882-1962), son of Francis Melford Herrin(1854-1910) and
Rebecca Catherine Elmore(1853-1896) was born in Coweta County, but grew up in the
Whitesburg area of Carroll County. He was a grandson of Moses Gresham Herrin and
Sophronia Ann Williams of Meriwether, Coweta and Carroll GA and Cleburne AL. I
would like to know anything about the William Herrin family in Vanishing Georgia
Photograph 161 taken about 1905 to see if there is a connection to my Herrins in
the same area. Are there any available resources about the Whitesburg area?"
Please contact

PUCKETT, ANDREW JACKSON AND FRANCES ROBERTS PUCETT
I am researching the Andrew Jackson Puckett & Frances Roberts Puckett family of
Coweta Co. GA. The children lived in Paulding, Carroll, Troup, Pickens, Greene
& Forsyth Co. GA. Also in Southwest AR, Eastern AL & Upshur Co, TX. Andrew
Jackson & Frances married in Coweta Co. in 1837. One of the sons had the name of
"Tillero" & this unusual name was also found in the Davidson, King, Smith &
McClain families of the same areas & time frame.
The children of Andrew Jackson Puckett & Frances Roberts Puckett:
1. Elizabeth - was in the 1910 Troup Co. GA census, as Eliz Harris, living
with dau, Mandy/Amanda (her name was Samuels so maybe she was marr before) &
Mandy's husb, James Culbertson. Eliz was born in the White Oak Community in
Coweta Co. In the 1870 Forsyth Co. Ga census, James & Eliz have a 10 yr old in
the h/h named Eliza Jones. Wonder who she is? Maybe from another marriage?
2. Mary Ann - First marr was to a Marcus deLafayette Smith who died during the
CW. Second marr to Wm Lawrence Hogan III in Randolph Co. AL. Buried in Carroll
Co. GA. I am in touch with several of her desc. Have pictures.
3. Lucinda - married Peter E. Duncan/Dunkin - his 2nd marriage. Had one known
dau, Margaret/Maggie (b 1868). Lucinda's husb, Peter Dunkin d 1879. She is
living with her bro, Joseph Richard Puckett & w/Epsie (Grubbs) in the 1880
Haralson Co. GA census. In the 1900 Carroll Co. GA census, Maggie has my
grandfather, who was her cousin, in the h/h. They are in the h/h of a Lattimer
family. Don't know who they are & Lucinda isn't listed. By 1900, Joseph Richard
& his family have moved to Columbia Co. AR but don't know if the ladies went with
them.
4. John A. - married a Nell Fuller, moved to Upshur Co, TX in about 1888. Had
at least one & maybe 2 other marriages. Had 3 children, Robert, Newt & Ida
Frances. Ida married a "Nipper" in Upshur Co. In the 1910 U Co. census, his
wife is a Martha. A grandson by the last name of Cornett in the h/h. In the
1930 U Co. census, John A. & his dau, Ida Frances, are living with a Johnnie &
Mattie Nipper.
5. Wm Samuel - my line, I think I sent you that. Have pictures.
6. James Tillero/Tillaro/Tillerow - marr Eliza Clementine Duke went to
Upshur/Camp/Wood Co, TX. Committed suicide. I have picture of Tillero &
family.
7. Geo W. - married Ana/Anna Fuller in 1872. Had at least one other marr -
maybe to a Barbara Ann? Died 1939 Carroll Co. GA, (Villa Rica) & buried in
New Hope Primitive Baptist Cemetery in Villa Rica.
8. Joseph Richard - married Epsie Grubbs, in the 1880 Haralson Co. GA census.
By about 1888, he had moved to Columbia Co. AR & think he went on to CA. Had
another marriage. I am in touch with 3 of his desc. At least one of his
children, (Andrew T.) went into LA.
9. Mittie A. - Married Pete Embrey/Embree. Found her as a widowed school
teacher in the 1920 Pickens Co. GA census. She was in Troup Co. in 1880 & had
daughters, Mary 21 , Sallie/Sarah 18, Tommie 13 & possibly an Effie 17. No
husb at that time.
