Subject: Missing Military Ancestors? From: Marie Parks Date: October 20, 1999 *Tapley B. Tolbert (alias-Talbert/Talbot/Talbott) Note: the surname changes spellings on his pension papers, and documents. b. 1800c d. 28, August, 1836 at Fort McCreary in Stewart County, Georgia, and is buried on the origonal Fort Site. He served in the Indian War Campaign for both Georgia and Florida. Married> Sarah Tolbert (also: alias>Talbert/Talbot/Talbott) A Soldier confessed under oath that he helped to bury Tapley on the origional site of the Fort. I recieved a letter later stating his remains had been transferred and placed on the Gwinnett County Georgia Courthouse lawn. After further researching, I discovered he was not one of the actual Soldiers. His headstone marker was placed in his memory at the Academy Baptist Church in Jackson County, Ga. I am trying to locate the parents of both of them. Below is a list of Soldiers who served in the Indian War campaign and their remains were transferred from Fort McCreary in Stewart County, Ga. and placed on the Gwinnett County Ga. Courthouse lawn. I hope this can help someone out there who is possibly researching one/or possibly some of these Soldiers surnames below: 1-Issac Lacy 2-James C. Martin 3-William M. Sims 4-John A. V. Tate 5-Robert T. Holland 6-James H. Holland 7-Henry W. Paden 8-James M.
