I've posted this info in so many places I guess I forgot to post the whole ball of wax to the Kersey listings so here goes: 1830 census, Banister Kearsey, Houston County, Ga page 290 Banister aged 20-30 1 f aged 20-30 2 f under 5 1 m under 5 Bannister Kersey in the 1840 census for Randolph County Ga, pg 181 Bannister as head of household 1 person aged 40-50 (must have been Bannister) 1 m aged 10-15 1 m aged 5-10 1 f aged 40-50 (must have been wife #1 Nancy Lawhorne (Lawhone?) 1 f aged 10-15 1 f aged 5-10 1 f aged 1-5 Bannister not there in the 1850 census, so could be the same one as found in Florida in 1850. I'll be checking the microfilm in a week or two. Bannister Kersey in the 1860 census for Randolph County Ga, pg 68 Bannister 63, as head of household with: Sarah 40 housekeeper Angenina 24 f William 18 m (my great grandfather) Bannister 15 m Joseph 13 m Nancy 12 f Cornelia 8 f Cynthia 5 f PS: listed in the FTM as Karsey, but a close look at the microfilm shows it should have been Kersey. 1870 census Randolph County, Ga page 311 Bannister Kersey head of household, age 70 Sarah age 49 housekeeper Cornelia f 18 Matilda f 16 I haven't confirmed this to be my William Kersey but: 21 Oct 1861 William Kersey 3rd Cpl, 2nd Brigade, Magnolia Rifles from Randolph County Ga, discharged Dec 15, 1861. From "A Source Book on Early History of Cuthbert and Randolph County, Ga." by Annette McDonald Saurez, Cherokee Publishing Co, 1982. According to family records Bannister's father was Elijy (Elijah?) and I have found no record of him anywhere as yet. I think I have already posted all of William's kids on the Kersey list. Hope this sparks some additional info from someone, or helps someone with info they've been seeking. Pete Noel

---------- From: Joe Kersey[SMTP:jakersey@erols.com] Sent: Sunday, July 26, 1998 7:28 PM To: millerm@halcyon.com I have had a number of questions concerning my great great grandfather, Robert Kersey so I would like to expand on his family.As I said in my earlier e-mail, he was born in Virginia about 1802, moved to South Carolina where married Sarah ----. They had one child in South Carolina, Bettie, and then moved to Upson County, Georgia. They had 13 other children. The following is some pertinewnt information about their family. I am not sure of the order of birth of these children. 1. Isaac Kersey, married Ann Kennedy Robert Kersey, son Pink Kersey, son Missouri Kersey, daughter 2. Henry Kersey, married Caroline Pasley John Kersey, son (my great uncle who lived to age of 96 and died in 1954) Robert Kersey, son Charles Austin Kersey, my grandfather, married Virginia Traylor Henry Kersey, son Sallie Kersey, married a man named Matthews. She also lived into her 90's. 3. James Kersey, son, wife unknown. 4. Samuel Kersey, son, married Millie thompson Thomas Kersey, son John Kersey, son Julius Kersey, son Nora Kersey, daughter 5. William Kersey, son, wife unknown. 6. Arthur Kersey, son, wife named Caroline Frank Kersey, son Earnest Kersey, son Annie Kersey, daughter Lou Kersey, daughter 7. Elias Kersey, son black sheep. He committed suicide before reaching adulthood. 8. Julia Ann Kersey Taylor, daughter, married stephen Taylor Henry Taylor, son John Taylor, son Ida Taylor, daughter Nellie Taylor, daughter Liza Taylor, daughter 9. Bettie Kersey Jones, Husband unknown 10. Amanda Kersey Robertson, daughter, married William Robertson John Robertson, son Henry Robertson, son James Robertson, son Alice Robertson, daughter 11.

Caroline Kersey Bloodworth, daughter, married William Bloodworth No children. 13 Martha Ann Kersey Powers, daughter, married John Powers No children. 14. Mary Kersey Baker, daughter, married Ransom Baker Coon Baker, son Liza Baker, daughter Most of the above children remained in Georgia during their lifetime. Two of the children, Bettie and William moved to Arkansas after the Civil War. James Kersey moved to Alabama and settled near Atalla. A lot of the above is based on memory but it is the best we have now.

Additional information: Possibly have found Banister's father in Guilford County, N.C. Census 1790 Eleazor Kersey head of household with one white male under 16 and three white females, no slaves The spelling is different, family memories say first name was Elijy, but we all know what census takers did with name spellings and we all know how suspect family memories are.

John Thomas also died there. My uncle said he was NOT stingy but a very kind and gentle man. Child #5 was Roy Lee KERSEY b. Van Alsyne Tx m. Ollie MAULDIN had 13 children and was never divorced. He died in Whitesboro, Tx in a farming accident...this is my grandfather. Their children were: Vivian, Velma, Ora, Eula May, Mable, Grace (still living), Delbert, Mitch, Leon, James (still living),Robert, Charles (my father) and Anita (still living). Thank you, Doris, for re-posting this. I am still looking for B.F.'s and Martha's parents. Because B.F.'s parents died when he was young, I feel a relative must have raised him. He had red hair, was tall and my uncle said he was Irish. I know there are lots of KERSEYs around Ga and believe some were his kin. Another clue was that he may have had a sister who married and moved to Oklahoma. My Aunt told the story that her father, Lee Roy KERSEY's cousin was with the sherrif's dept in OK and was killed by Bonnie and Clyde.My aunt said he was quite handsome and he had visited her father two weeks before he was murdered.
