My mother's maiden name was Preachers. I suspect the "s" on the end was an addition to the name Preacher at some point.

Most of the Preachers family I know of are in south Alabama or north Florida, including around Defuniak Springs, with a few in NC and SC. The family originally came from SC and NC.

So if you're looking for info on the Preacher family, I'd suggest you check out any references to Preachers too.

To Jennifer,

I definitely know of a Bama Preacher - in fact, I think I met her when I was a kid. I at least remember hearing about her family, because all the girls were named after US states. I don't remember how we were related to her, but we are.

Someone sent me some notes taken from the 1870 Geneva, Coffee Co, AL, census (later became Geneva County) showing an Alabama Preacher (aged 2, born in AL) living in the household of Jacob Preacher (age 40, born SC), Nancy (age 23, born AL), and 3 other children. The same source shows this family listed again on the 1880 Walton Co. FL census, with more children.

I don't know who Bama Preacher married, but I suspect I can find out from someone in my family. There's apparently a Walton Co. marriage recorded in 1895 for W.A. Preachers and M.E. Alford - could that be your GGF? The A. in "W. A. Preachers" could stand for "Alabama".

Hope this helps. I'll see about asking my family for more info. Too bad I'm going to miss our Preachers family reunion this weekend!

Hi,
My Grand mother was a Preacher before marriage Louise Clarence Preacher Born 5-4-1902 Waynesville, Ga. She married a John Reese King as best I know they met in Carroll co. Ga. around what was called Whitesburg so I was told. He and my G.mother moved to Fulton co. Ga. and that is where my father was born in 1935. After his death she moved to Fla., she then married a Bismark.
So the locations are correct.
