Marilyn,
Do you know how the Lawrence Co. Thrashers are related to the Aldridges? My gg-grandmother Mahalia ( Elliott) Thrasher has James Allred listed as a relative and I have a picture of a headstone taken at the Thrasher cemetery with the name of Rev. F. Aldridges. I think they are related somehow but haven't been able to figure out how.
Thank you
Jerry

I am researching the Cunningham line from Bedford Co., TN and Lawrence Co., AL. My great-great grandfather Jesse James Cunningham was born in 1814 in Bedford Co., TN and his family moved to Lawrence Co., AL by 1820.

I would be happy to exchange information.

Are there any Templeton's in your Alexander line. for my David Templeton married Rosanna Alexander daughter to Gabriel Alexander of Iredell Co NC?

I am descendant of a George Washington THOMPSON of Lawrence County,AL and Celia Ann WILSON of Lawrence County,AL. Their only surviving child is my father's mother.
My father and his parents still live in Lawrence County, AL..

My father is Travis Aldridge son of the late Henry Clay & Effie Aldridge(who was the son of the late William Alexander & Clara(Borger)Aldridge)...ok that was a mouth full lol.I've been very interested in researching my family expecially my great grandparents William and Clara
Aldridge.By any chance are we(they)related to the Alexanders? I found a Riley Alexander who was killed in the civil war.Im interested in finding photos of Riley and my greatgrand father William when they were in the war.Anybody know how I can obtain any?

Marilyn, I just started looking at my family tree a couple of weeks ago. Although I can't share much information right now, I really enjoyed reading your post. I believe that Nancy M. Alexander and James A. Aldridge were my gggrandparents. My ggrandparents were George F. Aldridge and Lettia Roberts. My grandmother was Mamie Aldridge and was born in Moulton, AL. She moved to Ellis County, TX with her parents when she was young. (Ellis is next to Hill county and my family still lives there.) Mamie married Clarence R. Cunningham. My mother, Mary Lou Cunningham Gillespie, is their youngest daughter. You can see how much your post interested me with so many of my family names - Alexander, Aldridge, Cunningham, Gillespie. Thank you very much for sharing. Carol

My great-grandfather, William Wallace Alexander, was the son of George Washington Alexander. He married Louisa Vashti Seward

My grandfather was Luke Pryor Alexander, born 1880 on Lawrence County and died 1918.

He married Louisa Caroline Byars in about 1906 and had these children:
Myrtle Alexander (1908?) m. Rayburn Karrh and moved to west Texas in the 1920s d in the 1990s
William Byars Alexander (my father) b 1910 d 1994 in Lawrence County
Clifton Alexander
Margaret Alexander m. James Francis in Decatur d. ~ 2000
Ernest E. Alexander Russellville d~ 2000
Evelyn Alexander d ~ 2004

My father married Audrey Mae Wade (b 1916 d 1979) in 1937 in Moulton. They had 8 chidren:

John Michael (Mike) Alexander b 1939
Glenda Olene Alexander b 1940
William B. Alexander, Jr. (Buzz) b 1941 d 1973 (Thailand)
Paul Jackson (Jack) Alexander b 1944
Cathryn Harris Alexander b 1946
Joesph Lawrence Alexander b 1948
Phillip Eric Alexander b. 1952
Samuel Winston Alexander (me) b 1954

My two sisters still live in Moulton. My parents now have
18 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

I am very interested in any information going back to our origins in Scotland. I have a family tree that goes back to a Robert Alexander from Glasgow in about 1660.

Hi Marilyn, I just found this post. It's great...I chat with Carol Gillespie, descendant of Geo. F. Aldridge brother to my gr gr grandfather, William Alexander Aldridge. She is a really wonderful person to chat with. She just lost her mother, Mary Lou Cunningham Gillespie, last week. I can look up the date if you are interested.
Your picture on FB shows you to be a beautiful woman...smile
I hope 'our' sweet Betsy is doing alright.. TAke care,

Hi Sam,

Their son, William Alexander Aldridge was my gr gr grandfather. He married Clara Boger; their daughter Mattie Katherine Aldridge and John Blackhawk Hill were my great grandparents.
Thanks for your post. I was wonder if you could help me with the Alexander Family. I know very little about them.
