      PHILLIPS - COLE - BOSTON - BUTLER
      Date: 26 Jan 2001
      From: Franktate@aol.com 
      Trying to find spouses for three Nancy Phillips all age 6 in the 1850 Census of Lauderdale Co., AL. 
      There is a Nancy Phillips age 6 listed in the household of James M. Phillips and his wife Elizabeth Cole whom I think is the wife of Hugh Bunn Boston without proof; 
       there is a Nancy Phillips age 6 listed in the household of Robert Phillips and his wife Elizabeth Butler whom sources say married a Butler and went to TX;  
      there is a Nancy Phillips age 6 in the household of William C. Phillips and his wife Louisa Whitehead.  
      Can anyone prove who these three Nancy Phillips or any one of them was married to.

      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. 
      Mattie was the daughter of John Word and Lizzie Milton/Melton. Any information appreciated! My email: LLLHALE@YAHOO.COM

      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.

      Looking for descendents of Jesse N Grisham and Gracey Whitehead.  I have seen a photo of Jesse with second wife but none of Gracy and Jesse.  Would love to communicate with other descendents of my ancestors and possibly obtain photo via print or negative.  Any help appreciated.

      YOUNG - SHARP - CARR - WOMACK
      Date: 23 Oct 2001 
      From: Bookant@aol.com 
      Seeking Information of Jonathan B. Young's parents. He was born in 1818. The first records I have of him is his marriage to Mary Sharp , 1835, in Lauderdale County, Alabama. They had five children,

      Matilda b 1837
      Charles M b 1840
      James b 1842
      Julian b 1845
      Mary Ann b 1847

      Apparently Mary Sharp died between 1847 and 1850, for Jonathan married Margaret A. Carr in 1850 in Lauderdale County, Alabama. They had six children,

      William P. b 1853
      John A. b 1854
      Thomas W. b 1858
      Bettie W. b 1861
      Robert Henry b 1864
      Bertha b 1868

      Margaret Carr was the daughter of John "Jack" Carr and Elizabeth Womack.
      I have no information on Jonathan's first family. I would appreciate a lead on them.

      OLIVER - POLK - COPELAND - HENDRIX
      Date: 3 Nov 2001
      From: Parker/McClure Family Tree
      I am seeking information on the family of Daniel Oliver (b: circa 1804 in England/Scotland).  He is listed in the 1830-1870 census for Lauderdale County.  Information from the 1870 census is as follows: 

                Dwelling 501 Household 487
                Oliver, Daniel     81 M W Farmer              Scotland 
                        J. Rose       58 F W Keeping House Tennessee
                        Francis       22 M W Farmhand          Alabama
                        Mary            32 F W                             Alabama
                       John             14 M W Farmhand          Alabama
                       Mary             18 F W                             Alabama
                       Charley          7 M W                             Alabama
                       Lorena           4 F W                              Alabama
                       Elizabeth        1 F W                             Alabama
                Cokeland, Alex   26 M W Farmhand         Alabama

      Particularly interested in Mary Jane Oliver who married Thomas Polk (m: Feb 14, 1861 Trinity Episcopal Church)  Mary Jane and Thomas had one daughter Loreana Hester Polk who later married Enoch Rufus (Bud) Hendrix.  Thomas Polk was apparently deceased by 1870 as Mary and her daughter are back living with her mother and father.  Mary Jane later married Alexander Copeland (Cokeland) in the census, who was a farm hand for her father. Any information on this family is appreciated. Micheal

      Looking for any information on Elisha Travis Johnson - I know he lived in the Tishomingo/Hardin/Lauderdale counties area in 1860 because he joined the 34th Conf Inf from Hardin County, but I can't find him there.  He may have come back in 1870 and then left for northern Tennessee by 1880.  Any information or leads would be appreciated.  Richard
