Susan,
That was the original $64,000 question in 2002. Who are the parents of Julia Cartledge?
She was born in Columbia Co. GA about 1836; nobody claims her. By 1850 census she is
living the the household of Tom M. Giddens and wife, Mary A. Cartledge (b.1824 in Columbia
Co. GA) In nearby Harris Co. is Mary's sister, Jane E. Cartledge, b. 1821 in
Colubmia Co. and married to Joseph A. Collier. Mary A. and Jane E. Cartledge are
daughters of Sarah Blanchard and ?James Jackson Cartledge (according to Brunson's Book
Blanchard and Allied Families. Another researcher believes their father to be John
Cartledge.) Anyway, Joseph Collier's first wife was Rebecca Blanchard, b. 1810 dau.
of James Blanchard & Eliz. Roberts, and sister of Sarah Blanchard Cartledge above.
Joseph Collier became the guardian of Jane Cartledge in 1839. I understand that Jane had
gone to west GA with Joseph Collier and his wife. Joe's wife Rebecca died in March
1840, and he married her niece, Jane Cart!
ledge, 5 mos. later. Jane raised his kids and had 4 more. I wonder if there are any
church records of Columbia Co. that would solve this problem. Joseph Collier & family
moved to Jackson Co. FL about 1855 and remainted there, as did the mysterious Julia
Cartledge and her husband Thomas Mitchell Stribling.
