Thank you for the cemetery information! I'd love to know if there are any pictures of the headstones.

Daniel Nelson's will, 1848, lists administrator Thomas W Nelson. The will lists "my beloved wife Joanna Nelson, my son Thomas Nelson, Ghatsey Smith, Hardy Nelson, Mary Wallace, Andrew J Nelson, Elizabeth Nelson, and Martha E J Wilson."

Thomas W Nelson,

Hardy S Nelson,

Mary Nelson Wallace, wife of Daniel C Wallace,

Andrew J Nelson,

Ghatsey Nelson Smith (I think she married a Jacob Smith in Autauga in 1841, but I haven't found anything else about them yet)

and Elizabeth Nelson, wife of George Floyd are all children of Daniel who were alive when he wrote his will.

Martha Wilson is the only grandchild listed, and is given her mother's portion if the estate.

Thanks for your help with the headstones!

Joseph W Harris, b. 1839 Georgia, m. Martha Wilson, b. 1840 Shelby Alabama

chriskay_1 — 2013-05-04 16:21:06Z

I am looking for the parents of Martha Wilson, b. July 15, 1840, d. Nov 19, 1881. She is listed in the will of Daniel Nelson, Autauga Alabama along with his children. She is listed in the later estate papers as Martha Harris, wife of Joseph W Harris of Shelby county.

A short bio of Joseph says she was the daughter of Henry Wilson of Columbiana. I found a probate record for Henry H Wilson in the Shelby Historical Society Will Book, p. 40-42; 233-234. Does anyone have access to that book? I would love to know who her guardian was and if she is listed by name.

I found a marriage record for Henry H Wilson and Jane Nelson, 11 Aug 1839 in Autauga county. I have not found Jane listed in any of the family trees of Daniel Nelson. There is, however, one daughter who is marked in the census who has not been identified.

I am presuming that Jane Nelson Wilson (wife of Henry H Wilson) is the daughter of Daniel Nelson and that she died before the will was written so that her share of the estate was left to her daughter, Daniel's granddaughter. Martha Wilson was the only one listed in the earlier will who was not a direct child of Daniel Nelson. The further designation on the will was appointing someone to manage that portion that "Falls to Martha E J Wilson until she arrives to the age of 18 years or marrys."

Does anyone have any information about this family?

I believe Daniel Nelson is probably my husband's gggg grandfather.

THE REUNION IS AT A DIFFERENT SHED for this year only. It is at the Kiwanis Shed near the PLAYGROUND. After you get to the entrance of the park you will turn right. Look for signs. The shed should also have a sign that says Hyde Reunion on it.

Seeking Descendants of John B Sanders 1810 SC 1850 Shelby Ala Son of Isaac, 1782 NC

The following John B. Sanders was born in SC in 1810 and grew up in Cherokee/Forsyth/Hall Cos Ga. He migrated to Shelby Ala possibly in the 1840s. He married twice, once in Ga.He was the son of Isaac Sanders and wife Catherine, who was born in 1786 NC and listed on the 1850 census for Cherokee Co Ga near my GG Uncle Jeffrey Sanders b Rutherford Co NC in 1806. Jeffrey migrated to Forsyth Co and many of his children and grandchildren settled there. In the 1860s Jeffrey moved back to NC.I am trying to find a connection between this family and mine. Jeffrey's father is documented as William Moses Sanders b 1774 Anson Co NC. to Spartanburg and into Rutherford Co NC where he died in the 1840s. Thanks for any information on this family.

CrystalWilkerson10 — 2012-08-02 02:40:21Z

Saw your post -- I live in the area. My friend in the 1990's is the daughter of Sherwood Stamps, and the family resided in the home then, and Sherwood and his spouse still reside there. I've been in the home, and it is very well preserved. I understand that there were slave houses behind the main house, but have not been back to see. I believe there are also burial plots on the property. It is a beautiful piece of land. It is within a stone's trow from The American Village, a new park celebrating American heritage back to the revolutionary war. Worth visiting.

I am also a decendent of this family. My paternal grandmother was Ruth Chesser daughter of Lloyd Chesser (first family). I would love to go to this location. I currently live in Chelsea.

In some of my research I've found references to a place called "Jug Town". They apparently made a lot of pottery there?? Anyone have any idea where this is??

James Jefferson Falkners Mothers Name May Have Been Transcribed Wrong Or The Informant on the death certificate had her name confused.Her Maiden name was Cloud and she was married 1st to a Mcdaniel so i can see Mccleod coming out of those two names.

Re: George Musick's daughter Phebe and her husband Smith Randall

onealshammer — 2012-07-02 01:04:55Z

George M and Benjamin Franklin are sons of Pheobe and Smith Randall. Ben F is my great-great grandfather. He did the 1850 census of Shelby co. All my docs came from the old Shelby Co courthouse and census records. Smith is in a chapter of Dr. Donald Dodd's book: "History of a Hill County..Winston County" I had him as a professor at Auburn in the 80's.

My name is Laura Menchaca. My birth name was Laura Marie Alexander. I contacted my father when I was 19 and then again at 36. I have not contacted him in 13 years.
My father too lived in Georgia and I was wondering if this is also my family history? I have always only claimed my mother's.
I was born at Piedmont hospital in Atlanta Georgia where I lived till I was three.
I would be grateful for any information .

My grandmother was Nannie Randall Johnson daughter of John Bell Randall and Minnie Nelson Randall. I would appreciate any information about my great-grandparents or other Randall/Hunt/Nelson relatives. I only just uncovered my great-grandparents names recently after my mother's death in an old baby book that was my aunts.
