Benjamin W. and Loretta Tombs Sayre of Lincoln Co., GA
I have recently made a connection to the Sayre line through the Tombs/Toms family. The marriage record of Benjamin W. Sayre and Loretta Tombs is recorded at Lincoln County Probate Court, Lincoln Co., GA. She was not a Ford or a Jones. She was a Tombs. This explains why none of her descendants could ever find anything about her ancestors. Her parents were Edward Thompson Tombs and Jane Gowin, who married 20 April 1803 in Columbia Co., GA. She had only one full sister and one full brother. They were Brunetta, born January 1805, and Edward H., born 1808. As Loretta was the first born child, I am assuming she was born 1804. I would be happy to share my information about her family with anyone who is interested. My email is [email protected]. Mary Blood
