John and Elizabeth's daughter Nancy was born about 1815 and married John McIntyre in Pulaski County on 16 April 1843. In 1850, the McIntyres were living in Telfair County; they eventually moved to Lowndes County, Georgia, where Nancy died in about 1881.

Margaret Vass married Ebenezer Folsom in Pulaski on 17 Nov 1829, and they were in Pulaski in 1830: Margaret (15-20), Ebenezer (20-30), a son under 5 and another female aged 10-15, possibly from a previous marriage. I don't know what happened to Ebenezer and Margaret. I didn't find them in 1840 Pulaski. I found an Ebenezer Folsom (20-30) in Lowndes County, with no sons, 2 females <5 and a female 10-15; this individual was still there in 1850, with a wife named Priscilla J. and a daughter named Margaret G., but whether this is the Pulaski County Ebenezer, I don't know. I also found a marriage record for a Margaret Folsom to a John Fountain 9 Dec 1834 in Pulaski County; I have no idea if this might have been a widowed Margaret Vass Folsom getting married again, and I had no better luck tracking the Fountains beyond Pulaski than I did the Folsoms (not that I tried real hard).

I haven't yet found the John/Elizabeth Vass family in 1830, despite paging through Pulaski County census images. In 1840, son Uriah (20-30) is head of household and has apparently married and been widowed in the intervening years. His son James is about 11. Margaret has married and left, leaving Lucinda, Nancy and mother Elizabeth. There's also a boy about the same age as Lucinda, though I know nothing further about him.

Uriah died in late 1841, and his minor son, James, was put under the guardianship of William D. Conner, whom Lucinda had married several months before. In 1850, the 21-year-old James was living with his Aunt Nancy (Vass) McIntyre in Telfair County.

I know little about John and Elizabeth, where they came from or married or who their families were. John Vass was listed on the Muster Rolls of the War of 1812-1814, a private in a detachment of cavalry stationed at Fort Mitchell, Hartford (Pulaski County), under the command of Lt. Col. Allen Tooke. He was listed as one of the Ensigns of the 346th Georgia Militia beginning 28 August 1811, with no service end date. His son-in-law Ebenezer Folsom's father was also an ensign for that militia unit, though his service didn't begin until 1819.

John was on the Petit Juror list in June 1809 and June 1812, and had matters before the Pulaski County Inferior and Superior Courts as late as 1814. I've not found any further information on him after that so far. Nor have I found any record of Elizabeth Vass after the 1840 census, so there are still a lot of unanswered questions about this family.

1. William W. Conner, b. 12 May 1842; d. 19 or 20 Mar 1862

James Wilson Conner was with the 31st Georgia Infantry, Co. F, Pulaski Blues, and died at Gaines' Mill, near Richmond, Virginia, on 27 Jun 1862. This battle, known as First Cold Harbor, was part of the Peninsula Campaign that lasted from March through September 1862. W.D. Conner died 22 Mar 1862, according to the Conner Family Bible. Per Ms. Davis, W.D. was listed as a 1st Lieutentant, 764th District, Pulaski County, Georgia, Militia, on 2 August 1837. No service end-date is given, but W.D. was shown on the muster roll on 4 Mar 1862. It's possible that W.D. died of natural causes as I could find no military record for him. There's a compiled service record for a soldier variously recorded as William W., Willis W., and Wiley M. W. Conner who enlisted 27 Oct 1861 in Hawkinsville with Co. F, 31st Regiment Georgia Infantry and was reported to have died 20 Mar 1862 in Hawkinsville. This may have been W.D. and Lucinda's son, William W. Conner; the Conner Family Bible records his death as occurring 19 Mar 1862.

The transcription of the Conner Family Bible contained in "German Carolinians" erroneously shows M.E. [Mary Elizabeth] Conner as having married W.T. Brown, but this marriage was with her younger sister W. E. [W. Elnorah] Conner. From "Marriage Records of Pulaski County, Georgia 1810-1885": Wm. T. Brown m. Elnora Conner, 5 Dec 1875. In the 28 Jul 1881 Hawkinsville Dispatch, the following appears: "Obituary: Elnorah Brown, wife of W.T. Brown, and daughter of William D. and Lucinda Conner, was born February 2, 1859, and died of pneumonia June 30, 1881. In July 1874, she was converted and joined the Church under the preaching of Rev. R.J. Corley...She was an obedient child, a kind and loving sister, affectionate wife and tender mother....her sister Elmira."

Also appearing in the Hawkinsville Dispatch, 2 Aug 1883: "Obituary: Died, at her home near Minden, La., June 30, 1883, Mrs. Nannie E. Felts, wife of Jas. R. Felts, and sister of J.W. Conner, of this city. She was married in the fall of 1869, and moved to Louisiana the following winter, where she lived happily with her husband until the time of her death. She was a kind and obedient wife, a fond and loving mother, a bright and shining light of the M.E. Church South, of which she had been a faithful member for the past thirteen years. She leaves five little children, a kind husband and a large family connection to mourn her loss. J.W.C."
