Can someone tell me who CASSY CHRISTOPHER is living in Walton County Georgia
in 1830. She is with 6 other people in house. 1 male under 5, 1 under 10,
and 1 under 40(husband?), 2 females under 10, 1 under 15, and herself under
30? If we don't know, we should, this can be vital info for some of the
early Christophers coming into Georgia around that time.
Thanks
David
