FOUNTAIN - Trying to locate further details about my relatives, William S. and Sophira C. Fountain, in Montgomery County?  I have received a death certificate for my great-grandfather, Charles L. Fountain, verifying that his mother was named Sophira Dobbs.  I also confirmed that William S. Fountain and Sophira C. Dobbs appear in the Cherokee County, Georgia marriage book on 16 Dec 1849; Charles L. was born in Cherokee County on 4 July 1969.  Therefore, I'd like to confirm who was in the family in earlier censuses as far back as we can go in Montgomery County.
