    Folsom and Ryall connections

    Weston Wells Rountree’s wife Edith Elizabeth Folsom was a daughter of William and Elizabeth Folsom. Their children included William F. Rountree and Henrietta Elizabeth Rountree Joyce. The linked household and descendant dossiers preserve the supporting death and census records.

    Charles W. Ryall, executor of Elizabeth Folsom’s will, conveyed her Land Lots 493 and 520 in the Ninth District to Edith Rountree on February 5, 1878, for $1,200. The deed was recorded April 14, 1880: Deed Book E, pages 469–470. Charles’s mother, Rachel Ann Folsom Ryall, and Edith were sisters. The Ryall family page follows that branch and the Folsom estate records.

    Other Rountree households

    The Black Rountree families recorded at Barney have separate documented household chains. Isaac and Annie Rountree’s family includes the strong-probable identification of their son Franklin with Frank Rountree, whose 1932 death certificate names Ike and Annie as his parents. Andrew and Lucinda Rountree appear as father and mother in Lacy Rountree’s 1940 household.

    Coleman Rountree married Maggie Clark on February 23, 1893. The 1910 census identifies Maggie as Mary J. Clark’s daughter and Coleman as her son-in-law. Coleman’s 1900 household also names Charley Rountree as his cousin, but Charley’s parents remain unresolved. No established lineage connects these households to the early James Rountree family or proves all the local Rountree households related.

    Francis Rountree, whose house became Lowndes County’s designated court-and-election site in 1826, also remains unconnected to James by a proved kinship record.

    Evidence grades

    • Census- or vital-record supported: recent parent-child steps are named or placed in compatible households by census, marriage, death, or comparable records.
    • Secondary-supported: a compiled genealogy supplies one or more early generations while local records independently establish the people involved.
    • Strong probable: the relationship is well supported, but one part of the settler claim still lacks direct settlement-era proof.

    Each generation is judged separately. Marriage, surname, proximity, or a shared household does not by itself establish descent.
