From: Glen R. Hale
Looking for information on the families of James W. Parum and Quevia Lucille "Vinnie" Callahan (his wife), and of H. S. "Choate" Walker and "Mattie" Martha Emily Word (his wife). The Parum family was in Culman Co., AL 1900. They moved to Lauderdale Co., AL., by 1904, when James died in a well cleaning accident. Vinnie remarried to Harden Gregory, and they are listed on the 1910 Lauderdale Co., AL census.
H. S. "Choate" Walker, b. ca. Jan 1868 AL. His initials MAY stand for "Hamilton Sheridan," but this is unproven! Is there a connection between he and Hamilton Walker who appears on the 1870 Limestone Co., AL census? Supposed to be Native American blood in either the Walker or Word family.

Have been able to locate a few details. She had a daughter named Mary, possible nickname "Mattie" and a granddaughter named Florence Rayburn living in her home. Any information appreciated. Especially would like the name of Carrie Edwards' husband , who must have died prior to 1900, since she was listed as a widow at that time. Anything at all would be welcome. Thanks, Mary
FRENCH
Date: 9 Oct 2001
From: Eleanor Spreitzer
I am attempting to find the names of the parents of my great great grandfather James French. James and Elizabeth Rice French were married in Lauderdale County in l847. We believe James' father was Jeremiah French - who died in Lauderdale County around l832. However we have no documentation showing this.
Jeremiah French was the son of Benjamin French of Limestone County and later of Lauderdale County. We understand that Jeremiah and his wife (Jane?) died rather young and their seven sons and one daughter were probably sent to live with various relations.
Any suggestions as to how we might be able to confirm James French was the son of Jeremiah French - who by the way was the son of Benjamin French of Limestone County and later of Lauderdale County - will be greatly appreciated.
