Jackson County, Georgia, Newspaper Clippings,
Jackson Herald, 1883-1885
In the 1880s, railroads were expanded, and many people were either
moving Westwardly, or South to Florida. Abstracts include "letters to home" from those who had moved, or other references
to people who left Jackson County. These references can verify relationships to people in Jackson County. The new train routes
made it easier for people in NE Georgia to visit other Georgia towns, or to visit their kinfolk who had moved. It was an exciting
time of expansion!
This
period of time was 18 to 20 years after the end of the Civil War and a noticeable difference was that many "colored" people
were mentioned in the newspapers. No Georgia census records are available for 1890, therefore, the births and deaths mentioned
in this book supplement known births and deaths for the period between the 1880 and 1900 census records. There were many deaths
from consumption, pneumonia, typhoid fever, and particularly from the measles epidemic in 1885, as well as other diseases.
Abstracts include
marriages, obits, legal notices, etc. The majority of articles referred to people in the counties of Jackson, Banks, Clarke,
Franklin, Gwinnett, Hall, Madison, Oconee, Oglethorpe and Walton . . . but many other counties were mentioned. This is
a great book, with much valuable information, for either historians or genealogists!

Jackson County, Georgia, Newspaper Clippings,
Jackson Herald, 1886-1890
This is the
4th in a series of newspaper clippings books on Jackson County. This volume
contains obits, marriages, sheriff's sales, jury lists, a section on legal notices, and also a section on "Photographs of
Some Local Residents." Most of the death notices identified the causes of death, and even named the diseases when known. The
articles are mostly about people in Jackson and surrounding counties, such as Banks, Franklin, Clarke, Hall, Gwinnett, Madison,
Oconee and Walton. They are all interesting and many give clues about our ancestors.
The 1890 US Census was largely destroyed in a warehouse fire, including
the majority of Georgia's census records. These newspaper clippings will help identify if your ancestors were still in Jackson
County, or had moved to Texas, Florida, or elsewhere.
Hardbound, 8-1/2" x 11", 453 + xi pages, with a full Personal Name Index and a Subject/Place Index -- $35.00.
