Linkfield ...Forehand Family Researcher (17 Years) <br />Linkfield Forehand is a descendant of Cornelius Forehand born County Cork, Ireland 1680 and died July 26, 1728 South Mills Pasquotank N.C.<br />Linkfield Forehand Name Mystery Follow Up:<br />Family Tree:<br />The founding member of Linkfield Forehand’s family line and the possible source for his unusual name is “linked” to Jeremiah Forehand born c. 1795 Sumter District, South Carolina and died July 19, 1854 (probate records Pulaski, GA). Jeremiah was married to Letty Forehand, born c. 1800 North Carolina and died 1870 Pulaski, GA. The Following information is part of what I am contributing to a website (currently under construction):<br />1827 Jeremiah Forehand won land in a GA Land Lottery in Pulaski County G.A. (Gilstrap District)<br />Mystery behind the name "Linkfield"<br /> <br />John Linkfield Forehand (son of Jeremiah Forehand born 1792) had the unique name "Linkfield" that only occurred twice within the entire Forehand family line. The other occurrence of this name was Linkfield Forehand born July 4, 1877. It was a very common practice to incorporate family surnames from maternal lines into first and middle family lines to honor and preserve the maiden surname beyond marriage. Therefore while researching thousands of names there was several Linkfield surnames found in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. There were also some other family lines that incorporated this English Surname into a first or middle name. <br /> <br />• John Linkfield was born 1827 Pulaski County GA and lived in the neighboring county away from Linkfield Perkins, a resident of Wilkinson County, GA.<br />• Linkfield Perkins was born between 1761-1770 in North Carolina. He enrolled in the War of 1812 (2 REG'T -Tisdale's- North Carolina Mil. and served as a corporal. <br />• Linkfield Perkins married Mary Allen that was a native of Pulaski County GA.<br />• Linkfield Perkins shows up in many Pulaski , GA Probate records.<br /> <br />There was a connection between Jeremiah Forehand and Linkfield Perkins (Possible War of 1812 history). This relationship possibly explains the origin of John Linkfield of Pulaski, GA.<br /> <br />Letty Forehand, Jeremiah's Wife was born in N.C. Linkfield Perkins is also from N.C. It is quite possible that Letty's maiden name was Perkins and she named her first child after her father. Both Linkfield Perkins and Jeremiah Forehand moved to G.A. where they won land in the GA land lotteries.<br /><br />Linkfield Perkins<br />Born: between 1761-1770<br />Died in Wilkinson Co. GA 1833<br /><br /><br />History of Linkfield Perkins of Wilkinson County, GA (Neighboring County to Pulaski County, GA)<br />• Linkfield Perkins shows up in a probate record (Appraisements 1817-1847 vol. B, Image 270/560). Estate of Ephraim Phillips –Auction Date: November 15, 1821.<br /><br />• Linkfield Perkins shows up in a probate record (Appraisements 1817-1847 vol. B, Image 393/627). Perkins shows up in a probate record Jan. 5, 1830 for Olive Philips (Orphan of Burnwell Philips Dec’d)<br /><br />• Linkfield Perkins: Pulaski, GA Returns 1817-1841. A return of John Irwin Hodges on Estate of Robert Hodges on Estate of Robert Hodges Dec’d (1830).<br /><br />• War of 1812 Service Record for Linkfield Perkins / Jeremiah Forehand also enrolled in this war and can be found in the National Archives War Records.<br /><br />• Linkfield Perkins: 1830 USFC Wilkinson, GA Age: Born 1761-1770<br /><br />The dates, location, and documentation support that Linkfield Forehand was named after Linkfield Perkins. Letty Forehand named her son after this man, possibly her father, both from N.C.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07981451029762885873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697913671320216364.post-6374376706189664402015-02-18T08:14:27.516-08:002015-02-18T08:14:27.516-08:00Link was my Great-Grandfather.
