The man in the Spaceship was my g grandfather, Floyd Pierce b. 3-25-1834 d. 3-25-1893 Wilmer, Mobile Co., AL; m. 7-7-1857 Mobile Co., AL: Sarah Ann Pierce b. 7-11-1840 Wilmer, Mobile Co., AL d. 8-31-1933 Wilmer, Mobile Co., AL She was the dau. of Silas Pierce & Mary Ann Stringfellow. In 1850 Floyd was living with James Davis & Nancy (Pierce) Davis. Nancy was the sister of Silas Pierce. I tend to believe that Floyd is from the Pierce family in the OLD Covington Co., MS I can find no other info that would tell his parents or brothers & sisters. Joe Pierce El Paso, TX

Lynn, Thanks for the census info. Have you been on the Melungeon list? I lurked there a while and they had a ton of Sizemore's. Pop over and throw out the question. They share freely. I'll go through what little I have on the Moniacs and will get back to you if I find a Sizemore.

WHERE can one find the list of ships and their passengers of emigrant ships who landed at PENSACOLA and MOBILE (and perhaps SAVANNAH) from 1700 to 1850? I am looking for MCVOY, MACVOY, MCAVOY, BYRNE, HERNANDEZ (Josephine only!), PALMER, thanks for any help! Sincerely, Bonnie McVoy Treon [email protected] PS: I'm starting to think my family came on a spaceship too! No other explanation so far.......

Or Roswell, New Mexico where they have UFO's with regularity? Seriously, your message made my day. My guess is that space ship must have been huge, because most of know at least one of the passengers. Pat Burchfield
No, but I have a couple that must have with them. Patty
Joe try [email protected] a list you must join. Pat Gerbig Pensacola,Florida
Yea and my James Riley Alexander was on the space ship with them. If you happen upon the ship please let me know. So I can check out their list. MARSHA
Jeffrey: In Charles E. Bryant's new book, The Tensaw Country, North of the Ellicott Line, Mr. Bryant has several pages about the McVoys and Byrnes. He indicates that the original Byrne settler, Gerald Byrne, was from Ireland and arrived at Savannah in 1781. One of his daughters, Margaret, married William McVoy. Mr. Bryant's book is an excellent resource! Kathryn
Does any know how to find info. on someone that must have came in on a space ship to Mobile Co., AL? ?? Joe
Hi Judith, I copied the following from the 1850 Census of Baldwin County, Alabama, Division Number 1, Enumeration Date 11 November 1850; Enumerator: G. B. Hall: Page 87A, Dwelling Number 112, Family Number 112: Lomax, Sidney 36 M South Carolina Lomax, Matilda M. 22 F Alabama Lomax, Mary E. 3 F Alabama Lomax, Martha 5/12 F Alabama They are not in my direct line. I copied them because they lived near my family. Since I have an "Unknown" MONIAC married to Nancy SIZEMORE, I have started to trace the MONIAC's in an effort to find the "Unknown" MONIAC. Hope this will help you. Lynn in SC

My first time to the list. I am searching for info on my ggg-grandparents, William H. (6-14-1810 to 10-27-1867) and Rhoday Walker (4-12-1813 in SC to aft 1860). My info indicates they were married 10-08-1835 in Citronelle, AL. The US Census of 1860 showed them in Mobile County, Northern Division with 9 children. I think they had one more child after that date. The Census data of 1860 indicates they lived in AL, then in MS from early 1840's to early 1850's, then back to AL by 1954. The oldest daughter, Mary Elicia Walker (1836-1880), my g-grandmother, married John Russell Carpenter on 1-21-1856 in Mobile County. I have no data on William H. & Rhoday Walker after 1860 except death dates. Any info on where died, where buried, etc, would be greatly appreciated. Ed Jones
She is his sister (Lands) and Bates is brother-in-law...trust me... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, May 05, 1999 12:45 AM Subject: Re: [AL-MOBILEBAY-L] 1850 Washington County, Alabama Census >Thank YOU!!!
