From: bryan
Looking for the parents and grandparents of Edward B. Robnett born April 28, 1870 died July 29, 1948 and his wife Sarah B. Robnett born September 25, 1883 died December 24th, 1974
He may have been a brother or uncle to Lonnie Robnett born Aug 10, 1908 died August 12, 1977. His wife was Ora Mae Robnett, born July 9, 1913, died Jan 3, 1974.
All four are buried in the HILL cemetery, AL Cty Rd 25. I am looking for anyone connected or knowing of connections to this family. Where did they come from? Tenn? Ohio? What was Sarah's maiden name - no pun intended - Sarah, Edward's wife was a full-blooded Cherokee. They are my great, great grandparents, as their daughter Cora Robnett Flippo was my grandmother's mother. Also, Cora had a brother, Marvin Robnett.
Anyone who knows please write wendybryan@yahoo.com

Looking for information regarding William Taylor Scott and wife, Sarah Frances Carroll who lived in the Gravelly Springs area. Children were: William Floyd, Florence, Lola, Jo, Ernest, Heslup and Nannie. William T. Scott and Sarah Carroll were listed in the 1870 Colbert Co. Census. They apparently married abt. Dec. 1869. They are on the 1900 Lauderdale County Census with several of their children. Jo Scott and Lola Scott married brothers, Jessee Young and James A. Young. Nannie Scott married Benjamin W. Darby. William Floyd Scott moved to Texas prior to 1912 and married Maggie Pauline Johnson in Bonham, Texas. He remained in Texas until the late 1950's when he returned to Sheffield, Ala. William Floyd Scott was my grandfather. I believe Sarah's parents were Jesse Carroll and Nancy Rhodes. Any information on them or the parents of William Taylor Scott would be appreciated. Joan Hall

BALENTINE - PUGH
Date: 7 Nov 2003
From: Sonya McLauchlin
Does anyone have ANY information at all on Leander Balentine who was married to Martha Alice Pugh and had 8 children with her? I'm guessing he would've been born somewhere around 1880, and maybe married around 1900 or so. They lived in Lauderdale Co., AL and he left her sometime in the 1920's and remarried a woman by a name of Ruby (?) or something close. They moved to Arkansas and had more children. I have reason to believe his MOTHER was a Balentine, and he took her last name. I also believe he died in the 1950's and was buried in Lauderdale County. ANYthing would be appreciated.
