Re: Barachias Cemetery

pepperdog_1 — 2009-10-31 23:35:16Z

Does anyone know anything about Barachias Holt? I know that he designed the Alabama Capital building... but I am trying to find more about his ancestry.

I am a descendant of a different Barachias Holt who was born in New Hampshire and died in Maine.... but Barachias is not a very common name and I can't help but wonder if there is a connection. My Barachias was named after his father Barachias Holt who was named after his grandfather Barachias Abbott.

Re: Sallie (Johnette/Johnetta) McKenzie

Johnetta151 — 2009-10-28 23:15:50Z

I accidently bumped into your inquiry about a Sallie McKenzie. My grandfather, Kenneth B. McKenzie (of Montgomery) was never married to a woman by the name of Sallie McKenzie. He married Johnetta Hamm, had 3 girls and numerous grandchildren of which I was one.
My grandmother Johnetta McKenzie died in 1972. Her maiden name was, Johnetta Hamm and she was the only wife of Kenneth B. McKenzie. Also, my grandfather had one or two brothers, but no sister and no wife by the name of Sallie. My mom may have my grandmother Johnetta McKenzie's Obit. but no Sallie McKenzie Obit. McKenzie, Alabama was named after my grandfather Kenneth B. McKenzie's great grandfather. I think you have been misinformed about my grandfather being married to a Sallie.

James J Gunter (Jan 27 1867- Jan 15, 1950) is my GGG-grandfather. His second wife was Emma Lou Gunter of Texas (1884-1965) was his cousin. They had one son Jim Junior (Feb 18-1908 - March 30, 1929). I am actually looking for information on his first wife. I have no name. She gave birth to my GG-Grandmother, Dorah May Gunter( Sept 1889- 1966) who in 1900 was found to be in an orphanage, Alabama Methodist Orphanage while James J was a border in the Stephens household and his occupation is listed as Guard in that year census. Does anyone know anything about Dorah or her mother?

Mark,
If you are, who I think you are tell your sister Nancy that she left off Franklin Daniel Rawls son of W.A.L.Rawls and Eliza Matilda Graham. You, Nancy, Bruce and I plus your other sister(?) have the same lineage. Franklin Daniel was Nancy Elizabeth Rawls Wyatts brother. Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Dud helped my grandfather raise my mom, uncle and aunt when my grandmother passed away in 1917. If you will please give me a message back would like to connect with y'all again. Haven't seen y'all since you moved from Tampa.
I am 14 years younger than your grandmom and I was born on your Aunt Carmens 13th birthday...hers was 10-19-1929. Take care and God bless, your cousin, Karen

Hi Valda:
I do not have any information about the Holt family living at Monroe & Bainbridge Sts. There are some Holts buried in the Barachias Cemetery, and I have info on that. If you are in or near Motgomery, the AL Archives has a number of Montgomery City Directories which may have what you are seeking. If you are not near Montgomery, give me more information, and I will be happy to search it for you. Also, www.trackingyourroots.com has an 1878 city directory under the Montgomery County tab. Respond to directly if I can help.

Seymour P. HOPKINS b. abt 1818 Ga, m. twice (Mahala Byrd & Eliz. McClurkin), lived Montgomery, AL, until 1866

anniecrenshaw — 2009-02-25 00:53:30Z

Searching for any family connections and information on Seymour P. HOPKINS, born about 1818 in Georgia, who was a carriage/coach maker in Montgomery, Alabama, in the 1850s-1860s.

Seymour P. Hopkins married twice:

(1) Mrs. Mahala (Mahaleth) BYRD in 1835 in Richmond Co., GA

(2) Elizabeth "Lizzie" McCLURKIN in 1855 in Montgomery, Alabama.

Who were Seymour Hopkins' siblings and parents? What was Mahala's maiden name, and who was her Byrd husband?

Seymour and Mahala Hopkins moved to the capital city of Montgomery, Alabama, by 1850 when he was counted in the census as a "carriage maker." Living with Seymour, who was age 32, and wife Mahala, age 45, in 1850 were John Hopkins, 22, and Theodore Hopkins, 20, both born Georgia and both working as printers. These young men are too old to be Seymour's children, though they could have been his brothers. Their surname was marked with a "ditto" beneath Seymour's name as head of household, and I think they may have been Byrds rather than Hopkins, and were Mahala's sons by her first husband, _____ Byrd. Seymour Hopkins' grandchildren by his second wife recalled that he had at least two sons with his first wife. These may have been John and Theodore Byrd, Seymour's step-sons. I haven't found these young men in any other censuses as either Hopkins or Byrds.

Mahala (Malaleth) Byrd Hopkins died 13 August 1854 at the home of an unnamed daughter in Griffin, Georgia (Spalding County), per her obituary in Montgomery newspapers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1830 census - Richmond County, Georgia, 2nd ward in city of Augusta, p. 264b-265:

Mahala Byrd

1 female 20-30 (born 1800-1810) = Mahala? She's the right age to be Seymour Hopkins' wife, Mrs. Mahala Byrd, who was born about 1805, per the 1850 census.
1 female 40-50 (born 1780-1790) = Mahala's mother, mother-in-law, other relative or housekeeper/servant? If this older woman is the "Mahala Byrd" who is head of h/h, she may have had a daughter-in-law also named "Mahala."
6 males 20-30 (born 1800-1810) = lodgers?
1 male 5-10 (born 1820-1825) = son of Mahala?
2 males under age 5 (born 1825-1830) = sons of Mahala? their ages fit John and Theodore of the 1850 census
3 slaves
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Richmond Co., GA - Marriages:

Seamor P. Hopkins & Mrs. Mahala Byrd, 20th Oct. 1835
(some transcriptions have "Mahaleth Byrd")
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1850 census - Montgomery (city), Ward 3, Montgomery Co., Alabama
11th Dec. 1850, h/h 1077, family 1117 (only family in this dwelling):

Simore P. Hopkins - 32 - Carriage maker - born Ga
Mahala (ditto) - 45 - Ga
Jno (ditto) - 22 - Printer - born Ga
Theodore (ditto) - 20 - ditto - born Ga
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seymour P. Hopkins married a second wife, Elizabeth "Lizzie" McClurkin, 25 June 1855 in Montgomery, Alabama, daughter of James Andrew McClurkin and Mary Margaret Kirkpatrick, Irish immigrants of 1849. Lizzie's father James died on the voyage to America, and his widow was helped by her Kirkpatrick and Davidson relatives who had settled in Alabama.

Seymour and Lizzie Hopkins were counted in the 1860 census in Perry Co., AL, but apparently were only there temporarily. Their daughter Mary Lillian "Lily" (born 1857) was in school in Montgomery from 1863 to 1871, and son James (born 1860) in school 1866-1871. Youngest daughter Elizabeth Tichenor Hopkins (born 1866) was too young for school at that time.

Seymour Hopkins enlisted in the Confederate local defense unit, the "Fireman Guards," in Montgomery in 1863. He survived the war -- his name appears in an 1866 Montgomery city directory, and that's the last we know of him so far.

I haven't found any of this Hopkins family in the 1870 census, though they must have been in Montgomery, AL, since the children were in school there. Perhaps they had gone to visit relatives at the time of the census, and were missed by enumerators in their home city as well as the place they visited.

Seymour's wife Elizabeth McClurkin Hopkins died in 1871, which coincides with her children being removed from school and being sent to live with their McClurkin grandmother in Wilcox County, Alabama.

Children of Seymour P. HOPKINS and Lizzie McCLURKIN (and there may have been others who died as infants):

1. Mary Lillian "Lily" HOPKINS - born 1857, married William Thomas HARPER in 1875, Wilcox Co., AL, and died in 1883.

2. James Franklin HOPKINS - born 1860, married Emily Jane CASEY and died in 1939.

3. Elizabeth Tichenor HOPKINS - born 1866, married Camillo Sivouri ANDREWS in 1884 and died in 1905.

I'll be glad to share further information, and would appreciate hearing from any descendants of the Hopkins, Byrds, McClurkins and allied families.

If your family connects to Marion County, SC, please let me know as I am at a dead end with Moses.

Thanks for all the information on your gggrandfather Evan Coleman Ballard. Do you have a photograph of him? A friend of mine, Don Ernsberger recently published a book entitled "Also for Glory" with a photo of Ballard in it. Were you the source of that photo by any chance?

Here is the entry I have for Sgt. Ballard in my manuscript:

Ballard, Evan Coleman, Private, age 21, farmer, from Greenville, born in Alabama, enlisted July 19, 1861 in Montgomery. Slightly wounded at Chancellorsville, Va. on May 3,1863. Promoted to 3rd Sgt. on August 1, 1863. Wounded at Gettysburg, Pa. on July 3, 1863. Surrendered at Appomattox. Living in Rutledge, AL at the time of the 1907 Confederate census. Stated he was born March 9, 1840 in Covington County, AL. Died May 4, 1913. Buried at Blackrock Cemetery in Crenshaw County, AL.

Do you know if the death and burial information is correct? Also I would like to include the name of his wife, and any post war activities if you have them (occupation, etc.) Thanks so much!

Hello. You must be Jennifer. I have some information of your father. In fact, he was my mother's favorite uncle and she is burried next to him in Mt. Meigs, Alabama. My mother would be your first cousin. If you want to, please post an e-mail address and we can communicate further. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Looking for anyone who might have information on a William Henry Landgraff who operated a grocery store in Montgomery from about 1886 to 1923.
