Pye - Goolsby - Wingfield - Connection

Image
Family Update: In 2008, when I began my quest to find my family heritage. This research led to finding cousin MC Charles Goolsby of Grand Rapids, MI. Thanks Aunt Nan! Mr.Goolsby did quite a bit of researching on his own and through oral history and paperwork he found out that we inherited the Goolsby name through the marriage of Sarah Pye & James Goolsby. Through the use of family tree, oral history and well looks, lol. We have established that their son William Goolsby had several children with a former slave named Tyre / Tye.

What's Shaking on our tree?

The Henry Bolton Project So every time I interact with a family member from Wilkes it seems as if they know "A" Henry Bolton from Wilkes or Oglethorpe county. Side Note: Wilkes and Oglethorpe county are counties in N.E. Georgia that are very close to each other. When I began my own research I noticed that none of the Henry Bolton(s) were the exact Henry Bolton I was thinking they were. Each and every time the Henry was a different one. So I am beginning a project that I hope will help with the confusion. There is a Henry Bolton born in Oglethorpe, Georgia born to Daniel and Rosa Bolton. He married Annie Stephens(on) and they had at least 3 children. MORE HENRY BOLTON(S) TO COME Excluded from this list are: Henry  L.  Bolton born in 1937 and died in Atlanta, Georgia in 2011. Henry  L.  Bolton born in 1938 in Statesboro, Georgia, deceased in  28 Nov 1998.
