Hi i sent an e-mail to you, just wondering if you got it.

Mary A. (Thomas) Sims

aristakiffney — 2009-10-26 01:50:18Z

I'm looking for information on Mary A. Thomas Sims. She was born in 1865 and she married Andrew Jackson Sims Jr. in 1884. I suspected, but can't yet prove, that she's the daughter of a Greenberry Jackson Thomas (I found an 1880 census record, but the name is fairly common). Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Kimberly, I was wondering if you know the person who owns the property where Gum Spring Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery is? Also known as Robert Chamblee family cemetery and Mt. Hope Primitive Baptist Cemetery. I found the directions in the Blount County cemetery book page 296. It says it is near Blountsville down CR 26. I live in Texas and would really like some pictures of this cemetery. I descend from Robert Chamblee and also James T. Barnes who is buried in this cemetery. Thanks so much, Kristi Tuttle texasblueflower@yahoo.com

no the cemetery I am looking for is in Marshall county. I know you turn at Guntersville to the left & go but I have been unable to find it. I think it is around Sidney. It has the curch on one side of the road & cemetery on the other side.

I have found a Clear Springs United Methodist Church in Blount County, but I am not sure it is the one that you are looking for. It is in Township 13 South, Range 1 East, Section 32; About four miles SW of Allgood on Hi way 75 and then a quarter mile NW on County Road 15. That is about as far from Marshall County as you can get and stay in Blount. Maybe there is another Clear Springs in another County? There are no Morgan graves listed in the Blount County Clear Springs Cemetery.

Staton/Slave-owners in Marshall or Blount County, Alabama

istaten — 2009-08-15 17:15:21Z

Hello. My name is Irene. I am trying to find old photos, names of slaves, stories, and any other record that you may have.

Unfortunately, several of my ancestors were slaves. Based on the 1860 Slave Census, I know that George Dameron (G.D) Staton (Sr. and Jr.) and Thomas W. Staton were slave-owners. Since they lived in the same area that my family grew up in and my family took the Slave-owner’s name, I am 99.9% positive that I have the right slave-owners names. My family started off spelling their name as Staton. It has been changed throughout the years: Staton, Statton, Statten, Staten

Please do not worry about politically correct.

Sincerely,
Irene

Culbertson---Berry

roseparks13 — 2009-08-08 23:36:19Z

John P. Culbertson with his family and oldest daughter with husband Henry Cooper came to blount County about 1845. John and Elizabeth had a son named Berry M. He died in the Civil War but the name Berry as a given name is carried down in the family.
Could Elizabeth have been a Berry? They were in Laurens Co., SC when married.

Re: Alfred L. HINDS

khutten — 2009-07-03 20:42:50Z

Byrum Wilborn Hinds appears in an article in the Huntsville (Ala.) Times, May 9, 1955; is given as the father of Sarah Hinds (Alfred's sister) on her death certificate, 12 Sep 1912 in Duncan, Stephens Co., OK; and in an Orphans Court Administration - Madison Co., Alabama, Sept. 12, 1844, for Levi Hinds (Alfred's brother). Unfortunately I do not have copies of these items; a fellow researcher provided this information.

Re: Thomas R. Doty

Dalton 6671 — 2009-05-31 14:41:14Z

I searched the three volume set of Blount County Cemeteries compiled by Robert Sterling and Thomas R. Doty is not listed. Do you know the area where he was living? It is possible that he is buried in a near by County. Do you know any family members, I could look for them.

Jack Lynn Massey 1930-1988

According to the Florida Death Index on Ancestry.com, Jack Lynn Massey died in Levy County, Florida, January 28, 1988. Cemetery records indicate that he is buried in Pine Bluff Baptist Cemetery. Does anyone have an obituary for Jack Lynn Massey to share with me?

Re: Massey family obits

JanetWaltersEubanks — 2009-03-30 17:42:04Z

I have obtained the obits that I requested. I no longer need those listed in the previous request. However, I do ned to know if anyone knows the maiden names for Mrs. Jim Griffith and Mrs. John Brewer. Both were listed as the daughters of Frank P. Massey in his obit. (He died Feb. 12, 1953.) Does anyone know when Frank Massey's wife Mrs. Nora Mae McCarty Massey died?

Re: Thomas R. Doty

ROW71781 — 2009-06-01 21:01:09Z

There is an article in the Blount County Heritage Book on your Thomas R. Doty b NY 1805. The article does not state where he was buried, but his fourth child David that died 1911 is buried at Nectar Cemetery. The article was submitted by Debbie Doty 3830 County Hwy 45 Hayden, Al. 35079. You might contact her and she maybe of help. If you wish for me to e-mail the article to you that appears in the book, let me know, I will be happy to do so.

Re: St Clair Cork Ireland

seandonovan15 — 2009-03-27 21:26:23Z

Hi, here is some more info for you.Martin St Clair and Ellen Hennessy had a daughter Mary Jane Baptised 11/5/1856 in St Peters and Pauls in Cork City. I have confirmed this info and it is correct. My branch of the St Clair family lives in Brown St in Cork City and they may have been related. I know for definate that William St Clair was born in Dublin circa 1844 and if you have any info on Martin's birthplace maybe it would confirm a relation. I have managed to confirm all my side of the tree so I will be moving on to other members. Regards

Re: St Clair Cork Ireland

seandonovan15 — 2009-03-28 12:10:41Z

Hi, I got that record from the Parish Register for St Peters and Pauls Church here in Cork. There details are on the Cork Churches website or I can scan you a copy of the one I have.

Elizabeth Hendrix Harris b. 1781 in Pendleton District SC; moved to Blount Co AL

cavoiles — 2009-05-16 21:45:13Z

I'm looking for information about Elizabeth Hendrix/Hendricks - she was born in 1781 in the Pendleton District area of South Carolina to James Hendrix & Frances Lea Hendrix. She married a man by the last name of Harris in South Carolina and had two daughters.

One daughter was Jane Harris, born 1814 in South Carolina; she married James Brown in Blount County in 1837, and died there in 1903. They had two children - Washington Brown & Elizabeth Harris Hendricks, wife of Samuel Hendricks.

The other daughter was Lucretia Harris, born 1812 in South Carolina; she married Joshua Ratliff in Blount County in 1841 and died before 1856. They had 6 children - William, Phereby, John, Lugana (?), James (my great grandfather), & Nancy.

I do not know when the family moved to Blount County - the first sighting of them is when daughter Jane married there in 1837. In the 1840 census, it appears that Elizabeth and Lucretia were living with Jane and James Brown.

Does anyone have any information on Elizabeth Hendrix's husband?

Re: Alfred L. HINDS

dinahpeevy — 2009-07-02 18:39:59Z

Hi,
I'm attempting to prove that Alfred is the son of Byram Hinds who was born in Knox County Tenn. and moved to Blount County, AL. Alfred is the father of Austin Montgomery who is the father of another Alfred Luther Hinds who is my grandfather.
I have a copy of Austin's death certificate which lists his parents as Alfred Luther Hinds and Mary Carnes.
Alfred's burial is recorded in a small cemetery in Blount County, AL.
Since he died 1865, records are few and far between.
If you have any information, I certainly would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Dinah Peevy

Re: St Clair Cork Ireland

Sean.. the date 11.05.1856... November 5, 1856 OR
May 11, 1856?

Re: St Clair Cork Ireland

solfert1 — 2009-03-27 23:22:30Z

Hi Sean,

I'm just getting started on this line but will definitely let you know what I find. May I ask where you found Mary Jane's baptism?

There is a Martin St. Clair, age 50, on the 1881 British Census which may be the husband of Ellen. There is also a death record so I'm hoping it says more than "born in Ireland".

You've been very helpful... thank you so much.

Re: St Clair Cork Ireland

solfert1 — 2009-03-26 18:48:15Z

I made an error... the Mother, Ellen St. Clair, is not a Widow on the 1881 Surrey, England Census.. she is recorded as Married. On the same census, her grson is named Martin St. Clair Mahoney - so the name Martin definitely runs in this family line as well.

Re: St Clair Cork Ireland

solfert1 — 2009-03-26 18:41:18Z

I found 2 baptism records on www.familysearch.org

Eliza Jane St. Clair 11 December 1864, Cork, Cork, Ireland
Mary Teresa St. Clair 26 February 1866, Cork, Cork, Ireland
Parents: William St. Clair and Mary Ann Malone.

I, also, am looking for a St. Clair family from Co. Cork, Ireland. I believe the husband's name was Martin St. Clair and his wife was Ellen. Ellen is recorded on the 1881 Surrey, England Census, Widow, 50, born Co. Cork, living with her married daughter Mary Jane (St. Clair) Mahoney.

I wonder if these 2 families are related? Especially since you have William's father as "Martin".

Look forward hearing from you.

Re: St Clair Cork Ireland

solfert1 — 2009-03-28 13:12:24Z

Sean,

That would be great. You can send the scan to solfert@gmail.com I tried to find the Churches of Cork website but didn't find a church that said St. Peters & Paul so I must be missing something in my search. Would you mind sending me their site as well?

Thanks so much.

To any descendants or relatives of Burrel and Arminda Moody Gilliland--I'm looking for a picture of one of their sons....

GhostGirl7782 — 2009-06-11 01:43:35Z

...namely Gordon Oliver Gilliland. I was up at the Nichols Library in Gadsden and found a form Burrel filled out in 1921 like it was for a biography of his son...whether in some book or newspaper I don't know. It said "picture enclosed," and I'm hoping a picture still exists that a family member will be kind enough to share it with me. I want to do a special write up for the book/website I'm planning that will include him. The only picture I have right now is the one on his tombstone which is faded beyond recognizing his face, though you do see his Navy uniform pretty clearly. (He died on 7 Oct 1918 at Norfolk Naval Hospital from pneumonia.)

If anyone can help with this request, I'd greatly appreciate it.
