I am looking for good research books to buy for Cherokee county, AL, especially cemetery books--I especially want one that would include Walker's Chapel in Dogtown in Ft. Payne, AL. Thank you so much.

I have a great big book on Cherokee County. It cost me over $100. If you tell me who or what you are looking for I can tell you if they/it are in there before you spend that kind of money.
Let me know,

The Bradley's are listed on pages 34, 73-75, 105, 126, 128, 193, 220, 221, 242-243, 258, 309.
The Book is called The Heritage of Cherokee Countyy, Alabama. ISBN# 1-891647-10-5 (800) 568-1611

I didn't see anything for the people you mentioned but I didn't go through the whole book. The people who stood out were Eugene H. Bradley and Francis Marian Bradley families. The index only gives the last name and what pages they are on.

I have several books on Cherokee County, AL also. Will be glad to see if the information you desire is contained in one of them.

Thank you so much for the offer. Here's what I have: Wm H. and Ann Mathis with his children that were still at home were living in Rng 10, Twnshp 10 of Cherokee County, AL during the 1880 census. From his Bible I know that he died 9 Jan 1897 but I have no idea if he died in Cherokee County, AL, or if he was living in Floyd county, GA at the time of his death. I'm really trying to find out where he is buried. We have found where his first wife Susan Rebecca Russell Mathis had her obit listed in the Southern Christian Advocacy for 13 Jan 1875 although it gives a ton of good info it doesn't tell where they were living at the time of her death or where she is buried. Any info you might find on either of these people I'd really be appreciative.

Looking for any info on the Surname: "Livingston" in Cherokee Co. AL. abt. 1852 to present. Particularly the William Washington Livingston family.thanks russ

thanks russ

That's a pretty tall order! If you can be more specific I may be able to help.

I am sorry. Do you find anything for a Wm. H. Mathis that died 9 Jan. 1897? Thank you

Our cemetery records list only Doris Smith Mathis d 1971; George W. d 1902; Ruben A. d. 1903; Russie C. d. 1971; Sallie d. 1929; William M. d. 1961.

There are several Livingstons listed. It would be worth going to the library to look up this book.

William Washington Livingston does have an article in this book. There is even a picture of him in there.

Which post or person was the "Tall order" comment for?

Russ

Sorry for the confusion. If I have a specific request I don't mind and enjoy doing limited look-ups, but a general request is too time consuming for the time I have to devote. A time frame helps, as well as some of the information the researcher already has, so that I don't spin my wheels trying to find something already known.

If I had an unreasonable request, please pardon. In my Cherokee County, Texas History book everything is alphabetized and all I have to do is open the book to the correct page accordingly. I did not think about the generality of it when I asked about a specific family name. I appreciate your explanation. Martha

Would you please look in your books for the family of H. C. Sanford? He may have had two daughters who married Bedwell's, Elmira b. about 1835 in SC and Emily b. about 1845 in AL. On the 1870 Cherokee Census he is listed with occupation of Senator.
Thank you so much,
glenda

Could someone please help me that has one of these books to look up names in? LOL.
Raymond Chester Townsend born: 3/6/1905 died: 12/17/1957. And his parents were Hiarim K Townsend born: 1/13/1881 died: 8/31/1958 and was married to Emma Ward born: 9/2/1884 died: 3/2/1920.
Raymond Chester Townsend was my Grandfather and Hiarim K. Townsend and Emma Ward were my 2nd Great Grandparents and I have no clue as to anything about them.
Thanks,

Can you check for Little, William. He would of been from SC (Old Dist or Spartenburg) born abt 1798-1800.

I know of William Little from SC. He died in Jefferson County, AL around `1824. His son Isaac Little married Mahala Burchfield in Jefferson County, AL in 1822. Isaac & Mahala had a son John G. Little. He married Delilah Aldridge

What is the name of your book and author. I may be interested in purchasing for our library.

Thanks.

Call Shaver's Bookstore in Huntsville, Alabama. They are the only people I know selling the book besides Heritage Books. Mr. Shaver has all the counties. He will know which book you are talking about.

Our Genealogy Section has the Heritage Book for Cherokee County for sale - $60 pick up or $65 to mail.
Cherokee County Public Library
310 Mary Street
Huntsville, AL 35960

Before I jump off and spend $65, could you check to see if the following Surnames are in the index? HAWKINS, KELLY/KELLEY, CADDEL/L, LOOPER or TIDMORE.

Thanks.

Beverley

There is an article on Hawkins family plus 18 references in the index; nothing on Caddel/l; five index references to Kelly/Kelley; nothing on Looper; three references in index to Tidmore. No way to know if these relate to your research.

Huge error in my posting on price of Heritage Book for Cherokee County. The location of the Cherokee County Public Library, 310 Mary Street, is in Centre, AL 35960; NOT HUNTSVILLE!!! Thanks for all who caught my mistake----

Does your book have any info on Ewing, Bloodworth, and Green families of Cherokee Co, AL? My husband G-Grand father was William E Ewing born Georgia and died in Cherokee Co, AL His grandfather William M Ewing was born in Cherokee and also married there in 1891 to Martha
Caroline Bloodworth who father is listed on death record as
James Bloodworth and mother as Nely Green, any help would be appreicated.
Mary Ewing

The Heritage of Cherokee County has one article on Ewing plus 3 references in Index; an article on Green plus 19 references in Index. Nothing on Bloodworth.

Cemetery records don't show any burial information for James or Nely Bloodworth, some Ewing information and some Green information.

If you have contacted John Awbrey, you already have any other information I could provide.

I have not been in touch with John Awbrey, how do I get in touch with him? Greenberry ewing is my husband's Great- great grandfather, I would to have the info on the Ewing's
and Green's. Thanks for your help. can you tell me how I can
get a book.
Mary

The Heritage of Cherokee County is available here at the Library; by mail $65, payable to Cherokee County Public Library, mailed to my attention at 310 Mary Street, Centre, AL 35960

I noted in our file that someone from Oklahoma had contacted John Awbrey about the Ewing family and thought it might have been you. I can give you census information, cemetery information and we have a file on the settlement of the estate of W. E. Ewing.

If you need any of that information, please e-mail me direct at publiclib@powernet.org and I can give you cost information, etc.

I am not researching Ewing in Cherokee Co., I am researching the Caddell, Tidmore, Looper, Hawkins, Kelly, Edwards and Phillips from Cherokee Co. They left for TX about 1878.

I draw a blank with my Hawkins-Kelly that married in Calhoun Co., AL in 1850. Both born in SC in 1826. Don't know their parents.

Would love some help there. They were in Cherokee Co., in 1860.

Walkers Chapel at Dogtown would be in Dekalb County just over the Cherokee line 3 or 4 miles

Would please look in your book for information on the Mathis or Mathews family in Cherokee County cenus years 1850 and 1860. They were two household..appear to be brothers James and John Mathis one year, Mathews the nex census. Thank you!

Would you by chance have an Alan Smith in your book? He has been my brick wall for years.

Thanks in advance for your help
Jackie

Oh and by the way, Alan Smith was born around 1840 and believed to have died around 1870. He married Margret ann Lorren.
Thanks, Jackie

Hi Jill
It has been several years since your message was posted. I am interested in seeing if there is any Moons in your book on Cherokee CoALL. Looking for the name of Joseph or Joe and Eliza Moon. Also there was a Willie C Moon that married a Elisha Garrison Garrett. Had a son names Noah Cleveland Garrett. He was born 1892. Willie was a sister to Joseph Moon. I believe Joe and Eliza to be in Cherokee Co around 1900 or so. In the area of Cedar Bluff. I would appreciate hearing from you. Contact me direct at lindsaybnc@bellsouth.net
Thanks
Carolyn
