AARON, William
I am desperately looking for proof via census records of William Aaron, American Revolutionary Soldier who came to Georgia from Amerherst Co., Virginia (1785 Virginia Amherst County census list 5 in family) and had a son John. They came to Georgia about 1798 to Wilkes County. Thanks for any help with this family

DAVIS, WILLIAM LEWIS--See Family Group Sheet-lot of the information comes from the family that William Lewis Gardener Davis was born in Wilkes county and they had a plantation. I just would like to get past the block. In some notes it says that he is part of the Davis family of the 3 brothers which came from England and part of that line is Jefferson Davis.

Dennard, Wiley T.  (b.1811 Wilkes Co. GA) married Martha A. Nash (b.1812 VA) on August 6, 1835.

I believe Wiley T. Dennard was the son of John Denard who was born in SC, and moved to Wilkes Co. GA around 1794.

I would also like to know the parents of Martha A. Nash Dennard.

RAINS, Ignatius is in the Wilkes Co., GA tax lists by 1791. Later, when Elbert Co. is formed from Wilkes a Dabney Rains is located in Elbert Co, and Ignatius is now in Oglethorpe (Ignatius' farm was located on the river where the 3 counties come together). Dabney isn't recorded (as far as I've researched) in any county until 1813 when he later sells a piece of land in 1820 to Gabriel Booth. Click here for more information.
