Margie,
My husbands Uncle Henry Holliday submitted the infor for the History of Twiggs Co. His sister, my mother-in-law stated in her family bible that her grandparents were Theo Sauls, Jr and Martha Jane Floyd. She, also stated that Theo, Sr and Elizabeth Hart were her great grandparents.
She knew of Absilla and son Martine, however, she and her brother, Henry (both died in early 1990.) could not place a maiden name on Absilla.
I have recently purchased the book,"Twiggs Co. Ga Records: A reconstructed Heritage," and on page 309 I was surprised to learn the infor on Absilla which I stated in my previous e-mail. This book is available at the Washington Library in Macon.
I have kept records on my husbands family for my children, My daughter and I are UDC members and we both enjoy research.
At present, we are trying to find info on a confederate soldier named:Allen W. Sauls who died in a confederate hospital (church) in Bolinbroke, GA near Forsyth. He along with eight other soldiers are buried in a row in unmarked graves. UDC marked this small cemetery which is located back of the pulp wood mill off hwy 41. I have a letter concerning this UDC marker that was placed in 1925 on the site, however it was only established the identity of two of the soldiers at that time and the one buried last on the east end of the row is Allen W. Sauls who served out of Stewert Co. Georgia. I have his military record. A new government marker has been ordered and delivered in Forsyth along with many others that have been set in the City Cemetery lots, however, Allen W. Sauls marker is lying in storage and we need to establish his connection to our Sauls.He may or may not be related to the Twiggs Co Sauls but it would be interesting to find out his connection.
My dauther and i are trying to get his marker set in the proper location. I understand the owners of this land may not allow us to place the marker. We will try.
Do you have in your records any info on this young man and maybe his parents. Keep in touch and please if you come in contact with anyone that has proof of Theo, Sr parents please share this. Keep in touch, Myrna Findlay, Culloden, ga
