      Deed and Probate Lookup Request

      0 comments

      I am seeking the complete probate file for George White who died prior to 1 Nov 1839 in Lauderdale County. Ancestry has a three-page document posted, but I wonder if it is incomplete since there is no return and no list of legatees. Also, he received a land patent 15 Apr 1825 in Lauderdale Co., so a search of deeds and probate may provide a list of heirs upon the sale of that property. I am a DAR chapter registrar, in CA, trying to prove the relationship between son John and patriot George White for a prospective member. George White will be a new patriot for DAR if we can make the connection.

       

      Any help would be appreciated as Family Search has not digitized these records yet and they are unavailable until they do.

        Samuel Vaughn Cemetery

        I am trying to find information on Samuel Vaughn, Pleasant Vaughn, a young child, Annie Houston, and a 9 yr. old boy said to have been killed in a hunting accident, 1800's. They are buried on land owned by family members. Thank you.

        COl. William Basil Wood

        I am trying to re-locate a newspaper article from about 1888 in which Col. (& judge) W. B. Wood was passing through a town (Columbus GA, if I remember) on legal business, and he granted an interview to a reporter (from an Atlanta paper, as I recall). The article is focused on the drunkenness of a Confederate general, on duty, and the efforts to arouse him and remove him from likely capture, and the curse of drink in the service. Does this ring a bell to any of you and can you help me re-locate this interview source. I believe the general involved was George Crittenden or William Carroll and, and the occasion was either at Corinth of Fishing Creek. Thank you. sjb

        James Beckham

        I'm looking for the burial site for James Beckham. His death is listed in the Alabama Mortality Schedule February 1860 at age 50. He was the father of Lucinda Catherine Beckham Webb and Joseph K Beckham. He married Diana Johnson on Dec 12, 1842. They had the following children: Charles, Elizabeth, Maria or Mariah, LA, and John W. I've found James on Tax Lists in Wayne TN in 1836, 1838, and 1840. This is all I have found for James Beckham. I don't know the mother of Lucinda and Joseph. Lucinda is my 4th grandmother.
