- Description:
- This is a collection of genealogical records of the Ogletree, Crowder, Render, Scott, Stinson and Tigner families who settled in Meriwether and Troup Counties in the 1830s. Susie Ogletree Denny collected the records which were compiled by different family members. Court, Bible, and cemetery records are used to support family histories and pedigree charts. Some lines are traced to their origins in England and Scotland. The collection is arranged by family name. Thirteen folders of Ogletree records are followed by other family folders in alphabetical order. Photographs are listed in the order in which they appear in the albums. Three deeds, two letters, a plat of Ogletree property and a few ledger sheets are original documents. All other documents and manuscripts are photocopied. Much of the material is copied from published (secondary) sources. Seventy-five photographs, mostly Stinsons and Tigners, are contained in two albums. A pair of cotton cards which belonged to Elizabeth Anderson Render (1812-1892), and three needle point bookmarks (maker unknown) are also part of the collection. The Tigner-Ogletree House and family cemetery are located on the Stovall-Durand Road in Land Lots 259 and 260 of the Third District of Meriwether County. For additional information on the house and family see BROOKS OF HONEY AND BUTTER, by William H. Davidson. In 1960 Mrs. Denny donated a portion of her genealogical collection, including many original documents, to the Georgia Department of Archives and History. A partial listing of those records, called the Philemon Ogletree Collection, can be found in folder thirteen of this collection.
