From the author . . . My last book was published in 1987. Since that time, I have received new, interesting, and helpful material from Twiggs County enthusiasts around the world. Most of this information is heretofore unpublished. As I continued to review my lifelong collection of genealogical material about Twiggs County, in light of the wealth of information that is afforded by the Internet, I am including more new and additional information about the people who were associated with Twiggs. In fact, I had to stop in order to publish and still had additional material to be processed! Wolfe Publishing provided excellent assistance in this endeavor.
