No Fullers in Cherokee Co in 1860.

thank you for the help with my query.could you see if Robert Lee Griffitts and Ella Griffitts are listed in the1900 or 1910 Cherokee county census thanks again,.Carl

Don't find either as head of household in Cherokee Co AL for those years.

They may be living with his parents.in the 1890 and 1900 census.They were listed as Leonaday S. and Sarah P. Griffitts

1900 Cherokee County, AL Census index: Griffith, Leonadus D., Gaylesville Precinct, Page: bottom of 171-B and top of 172-A.

Surname could be Griffith or Griffitts; writing is not clear enough to distinguish. I have used Griffitts in reporting the census data below.

Griffitts, Leonadus D., head, Jan 1841, 59, md 38 yrs, AL TN TN, farmer
Sarah P., wife, May 1841, 59, md 38 yrs, 13 children born, 9 living, AL SC AL
Robert L., son, May 1861, 39, single, AL AL AL, carpenter
Laura A., daughter, Dec 1862, 37, single, AL AL AL, teacher
Thomas P., son, June 1866, 33, single, AL AL AL, farmer
David E. (E looks almost like C), son, Jan 1868, 32, single, AL AL AL, mechanic
Lella A, daughter, Oct 1871, 28, single, AL AL AL, Teaching
Sallie L., daughter, June 1876, 23, single, AL AL AL
Lula C., daughter, Mch? 1878, 22, single, AL AL AL, in school, attended school 9 months of previous 12.
Mary G., daughter, June 1880, 19, single, AL AL AL, zero months in school
Charles H., son, Feb 1883, 17, single, AL AL AL, at school, 5 mos in school
Bessie L., grandaughter (as spelled), Jan 1890, 10, single, AL AL AL, at school, 6 mos in school
Nettie/Nellie B., grandaughter, Dec 1894, 5, single, AL AL AL, 2 mos in school

Based on this info and what you provided earlier, Bessie and Nettie/Nellie are most likely the children of Robert and Ella, however Ella likely died around 1897 in childbirth or shortly thereafter.

Thank you,.Bessie and Nettie were the children of Robert L. and Ella Griffitts. There also was Robbie born in 1901. I don,t know why Ella is not listed or Robert is listed as single. She is listed in the 1920 Rome Ga. census as a widow.She died in Miami in 1944.I have been unable to find when Robert died,perhaps they are listed in the 1910 census if you have it available I would appreciate your checking.Thanks again

les. would you see if John or Martha Fuller are listed in the 1890 Cherokee Co. census and do have access to the death index in Cherokee.I was never able to find a death certificate for John Kinney.I tried Georgia state and they had no co py,also tried Baldwin CO. the same there.any suggestions?

There is no 1890 Cherokee Co census. Most of the US census for that year was destroyed in a warehouse fire/flood and data for only a few counties in a few states were saved. For Alabama there was only a small portion of Perry County recovered.

I checked the 1908-1959 AL death index and found 6 John Kinney listings.
