This weeks postings will be primarily focused on Thomas Ansley (1775-1838). Born in New Jersey, the son of William Ansley (ca1700-1773) and his wife, Rebecca (ca1720-ca1750). I've got tons of stuff I want to chase on this line but there are only so many hours in the day.
While I was at the Georgia Archives I found quite a few very early "colonial" records on Thomas and I am going to share them here with those who may be interested. Other records I had hoped to locate just were not to be found. So I will share the things I did find.
IF you are by chance related to the Ansley family, I'd love to hear from you. If you see a document here that you want to use in your family file, by all means let me know and I'll send you one of the scans I have along with the source that goes with it. In exchange I'd like to see how you are related to the Ansley's. : ) Keep in mind that not all of the documents you will see posted this week have been transcribed YET.
Thomas Ansley and his wife, Rebecca "Widow Harrison" Cocke, are my sixth great grandparents.
Happy Researching!

Monday Musings
It was quite the research trip/vacation. We covered so much in the 2+ weeks we were on vacation. Made over 300 paper copies and probably as much if not more, in digital copies.
We found obits, photo's, deeds, will and colonial records. And we have copies of all of it. Copies to be moved, cropped, linked and typed.
I spent part of last week moving all the photo's around, putting them in my digital photo filing system. A few have been added to digital multimedia files to the persons that they pertain to in Reunion. Lots more to get done.
I'm most excited about the colonial records I found on my ancestor Thomas Ansley, who was in Wrightsboro, Georgia in the early 1770's. I'll be sharing those images in the next days & weeks as I get them processed.
Of course coming back from a vacation means "stuff" always needs to get done - things need to get put away, some minor cleaning never hurts, and of course I HAD to take time out to see the grandsons & kids. We brought my mom back with us, so a bit of adjusting to having a third person here in the house with us.
So its been quite the month so far. Any interesting discoveries for you this month? Are you researching at all? Perhaps you're enjoying your summer gardens and your own vacation. Either way, enjoy!
Happy researching!
