Zilla Godwin who married Jesse Baggett is thought to have been the daughter of Richard Godwin and Zilla Thomas who moved from Sampson Co., NC to Hancock Co., GA. Unfortunately there were a LOT of Godwins in AL and according to DNA analysis they were NOT all related :( I'd be happy to discuss this with you further in email.

My Godwin's lived in south Alabama and for a short time the Florida Panhandle. Henry Jacob's birthday was 6/7/1881 and he died 11/7/1974. Johnathan John Godwin's (b. 4/11/1833 d. 5/8/1914) parents were William M. Godwin II and Elizabeth McCabe Brewton. Hopefully some of this helps. I am also looking at Zilla Godwin who was married to a Jesse Baggett. I'd like to piece together who her parents were. My father's mother was Mary Ruth Godwin and his dad was Don Carlos Dyal. My grandpa Dyal's mother was Pearl Agnes Baggett. I have recently started looking into the Baggett side and Zilla Godwin popped up. I never knew the Baggett's and Godwin's were related. Sorry to overload you with so much information!

My blog post from yesterday has the same theme, only I'm overwhelmed by all the new info available through blogs, webinars, tweets, etc. I'm always looking at the next new thing, and am not really doing a good job of focusing on the research tasks at hand. I need to focus, pick a topic, and complete that task, then move on to something new. Good luck!!!!NoOceanInKansashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16237144751730157486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077574950918175884.post-60574080714823567052012-02-07T08:43:36.880-05:002012-02-07T08:43:36.880-05:00Hi Celia, thanks for the reality check.

I just know me and if I don't do it now it will never get done and I will probably forget all about it. Thanks for the advice on working with my elderly cousin first. She's been a real pleasure to work with so far and I'm enjoying the relationship we've built.Ginger Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17453442334718861407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077574950918175884.post-44272205774848262772012-02-07T00:50:56.302-05:002012-02-07T00:50:56.302-05:00Hey Ginger - is there some sort of self-imposed de...Hey Ginger - is there some sort of self-imposed deadlines at work here? Some terribly important reason to get everything done at once -? Pick one, then work on it. You've described a very big elephant... and you know how to eat one of those (one bite at a time). We all know that there are always lots of lines to research, and so very many new things to process and work with. BUT - your eyes and fingers can only handle one at a time. Give yourself a break here. Maybe the elderly cousin is the only one with any kind of a 'rush' to meet with. Take care - and know that having a dozen projects is very normal, so it's controlling our urge to tackle all at once, that is important!Celia Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096301290962083820noreply@blogger.com
