Earlene: John McInnis came to Miss Terr. on Georgia passport dated 28 March 1811. He is listed as having in his family group: wife, seven children and two negroes. I can account for a fewof the children but not all. They were born between 1796 and 1809 in SC. The children I have listed are John, Elizabeth, Isabella, Mary (my ggrandmother who married Eleby Lankford/Langford) Philip (who married Mary Ann Lankford in Mobile Co.) and Sibily who was born about the time of the migration. There were also Peter andChristopher who were born in MS. It would be necessary to read the book on Georgia passports (index incomplete) to find all those who migrated to Miss Terr during this period. I haven't listed Daniel or Neil with John. The Langford family does use the name Daniel frequently though and I assume it was a McInnis family name. I am still hoping that someone can lead me to records on the Lankford and McInnis families in AL. Hope this is of some use to you.
