I am interested in Dawkins family information. Ancestors from East Central Alabama, Russell County (Phenix City, Girard, Seale, Hurtsburo) And Macon County (Warrior Stand).

Earliest confirmed record is Hugh Dawkins on 1880 U.S. census, Warrior Stand, Macon Co. Alabama. Also have a 1881marriage record for Hugh Dawkins and Mary Rankin.

Can anyone point me toward earlier records?
