This page gives links to the creations of information gathered to examine the process by which Virginian migrants to the frontiers of Georgia fashioned their particular identity as a planter elite in the post-revolutionary South. Study of this migrant community, is a point of access not only to the culture of the southern backcountry, but the difficult question of how elites mediated the upheavals of Virginian society during the latter half of the eighteenth-century. and  Some insight into the development of the lives of African Americans of this time and era. JamesTown Research Goosepond As my ‘armchair genealogy’ research continues, I find myself delving into the history of the  Jamestown Colony of 1607  and beyond which I hadn’t done since school days. Guess I should’ve known since I was aware that some of my ancestors had lived in Virginia like the Barnetts who migrated to Georgia early on. Yet it’s been quite surprising to discover links to the historical Jamestown s...

2nd cousin of husband of 1st cousin 1x removed of stepmother & relative of mother When Nancy Lee Cohen was born in 1934 in Georgia, her father, Mitchell, was 46, and her mother, Estelle, was 26. She had one sister. She died on November 11, 2019, in her hometown at the age of 85. Notes: am saddened to announce the passing of our dear Honorary Board Member Nancy Cohen-Gunby on Monday, November 11, 2019. She was my inspiration for wanting to rehabilitate the 1910 Cherry Grove schoolhouse! At one time, she taught there. Not appointing her an honorary board member was not an option! But more importantly, forty plus years ago, when I first starting digging into the attics and cellars of our family history, Cousin Nancy was one of the FEW sources that I could go to: she possessed the depth of knowledge, facility of recall, and in the true Southern Tradition a penchant for storytelling. But she also exemplified another tradition; long before the invention of the inter...
