And Coincidentally: The 7th, 36th, and 38th Georgia Regiments in the War Between the States... Browning’s Courthouse (Tucker, GA), DeKalb County, Georgia... and the Bankston, Cochran, Jeffares, Hopkins, Nash, Parker, Rainey, Weed, and Wells Families of that Common Ground. Dedicated to Sarah Ruth Jeffares Nash on the occasion of her 100th birthday, June 23, 1997. INTRODUCTION The production of a family history has not yet been undertaken by the Nash-Jeffares progeny in any formal way. Numerous photographs, letters and documents exist. However, they occupy dark places in cabinets and drawers and generally have been thought to be important enough to keep. Yet they have not been collected in a useable form. The fact that "no Nash can ever throw anything away" makes this family history possible. This first version of the family history is meant to provide a basis for the on-going accumulation of the historic information. Later versions perhaps can extend this first attempt at a family history. The persons shown as the descendants of Claude Nash and Ruth Jeffares were all born in the 20th century. At the time of this first version of the family history (June 1997), Ruth Nash was 100 years of age and resided in Tucker, GA. She was the last survivor born in the 19th century. The process of delving into the accumulated family history has brought to light some special relationships. As one examines each line of the Nash-Jeffares pedigree, a highly interconnected story unfolds. Our particular pedigree shared – during the 19th century – one hundred years of common experiences in geography, culture, religion, and immense tragedy. This story is not unique among the early settlers of colonial America – but it is our family’s history. As such, it deserves retelling and preservation.
