Margaret,

I have done a little work on Wyatt Heflin and Elizabeth Bevil. Elizabeth was the
sister of my great grandfather James Burton Bevil.

Descendants of Edward Bevil III

1 Edward Bevil III b: 26 December 1796 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia d: 25
October 1838 in Pike County, Georgia
... +Jane C. Wise b: 18 February 1798 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia m: Abt. 1819
in South Carolina d: Aft. 1880 in Pike County, Georgia
. 2 John Franklin Bevil b: 15 June 1822 in South Carolina d: 08 June 1900 in
Pike County, Georgia
...... +Serepta V. McNabb b: 23 September 1821 in Pike County, Georgia m: 24 April
1842 in Pike County, Georgia d: 21 December 1909 in Lamar County, Georgia
. 2 James Burton Bevil b: 31 July 1824 in Abbeville, South Carolina d: 09
February 1903 in Pike Co., Georgia
...... +Permelia Ann Hawkins aka: Pamela Ann b: 25 May 1835 in Putnam County,
Georgia m: 24 January 1854 in Pike County, Georgia d: 28 May 1932 in Pike Co.,
Georgia
. 2 Martha Emily Bevil b: 07 January 1827 d: 18 August 1896 in Newton County,
Mississippi
...... +Joel C. Stamper b: 06 March 1823 m: 17 November 1844 in Pike County,
Georgia d: 20 November 1906
. 2 Elizabeth Ann Bevil b: 25 December 1829 in South Carolina
...... +Wyatt Heflin b: Abt. 1822 in North Carolina or Georgia m: 24 August 1848
in Pike County, Georgia
. 2 Nancy J. Bevil b: 16 July 1832 in Pike County, Georgia d: 16 August 1832 in
Pike County, Georgia
. 2 Mary Jane Bevil b: 13 January 1834
. 2 Spencer S. Bevil b: 30 September 1837 in Pike County, Georgia d: 09
September 1858 in Pike County, Georgia

I thought I had found Wyatt and Elizabeth in Henry County in 1850, but it was the
wrong family. If you have any suggestions on this family, I will be glad to follow
through.

As a follow-up on Spencer Stamper, there are a couple of Web pages dedicated
to this family.

http://www.stampers.org/

and

http://www.stamper.net/family/stamperga.htm

Joel C. Stamper married Martha Emily Bevil, daughter of Edward Bevil and
Jane C. Wise. Martha Emily was a sister to my great grandfather James Burton
Bevil. Joel and Martha left Georgia to go to Mississippi along with several
other members of this family.

Thanks again, Bill for the wonderful work you are doing transcribing the
wills of Pike County!

There are several ways you can obtain copies of these wills.
· You can write the Pike County Courthouse and request a copy of the will. This method is generally successful if you know the book and page number or at least the approximate date of death. Enclose a small check to cover copy costs and postage.
· You can submit a request to the state archives and they will conduct a search and send you the requested document for $25 out-of-state and $15 in-state. There are very prompt and do a wonderful job. The archives also have microfilm for sell, but you do have to get permission from the county itself to purchase the county records.
· You can rent the microfiche thought your local LDS family history center at $3.20 a roll and do your own search. This is a very economical option.
· You can try to locate a local volunteer or arrange a research swap with someone in the area. These arrangements can be very beneficial and it's very economical.
· You can hire a local researcher, either in Pike Co or at the Georgia Department of Archives and History. Possibilities are HERE [Check out the Holiday Special!] or HERE. If you want several documents, this option can be more economical than ordering from the archives.
The above index was compiled from contributions from readers, from Jeannette Holland Austin's "Index to Georgia Wills," from Joyce Hill Gossett's "Abstracts of Pike County Will Books A and B and Part of C," and from my own personal and client records. I am finding discrepancies in the various sources, so I am in the process of compiling my own all surname index directly from the microfilm. It will eventually replace the above index. Please let me know if you find errors or omissions.
