The information I have on him was all shared by another researcher and has various notes in it, not all of which are entirely meaningful to me. They refer to George Gray as one of several people ordered to appraise the estate of James McMilliam (widow's name Nancy). They also mention tracts of land that his will specified were for his young son James. Notes elsewhere indicate that the older son John, who would be my 4th Great Grandfather, was instructed in that will to take James and attend to his raising and education. But my notes indicate that George's will was recorded Feb 28, 1830, and that he is known to be deceased by March 5, 1830. In any case, given the likelihood that George and John are my direct ancestors, I'd be interested in a scanned copy of the will you have and any further information you can tell me about it. I'd also be interested in knowing something about the "other book" to which you refer. A couple of the names you mention from it are at least a bit familiar, and others may be tied to a second Gray family in the area that I know about, though I don't know of any connection between the two. I'm familiar with Jesse Gray, son of George and younger brother to John. The names "Clenny" and "Clemmy" are both used in reference to someone I have listed as Clemintine, wife of Frances Gray -- another of George's sons. The notes I have show census entries with her living in the household of Henry Andrews in 1850 (possible son-in-law), and in the home of William Gray in 1860, instead of in 1850 as your notes indicate. But she's the mother of William, whose children include Simeon Limuel, among others. There are a lot of names reused in the Gray families I have listed. = Steve = -- Steve W.

I found a will for a George Gray witnessed by William S. Morgan and Daniel McMillan recorded on Jul 17, 1830. George had a son named James. Also names a woman Eliza Ann Scott. Also an older son names John Gray. IF any of this sounds familiar, let me know; I can scan and email to you. Next: Paper called Wetumpka Argus, Dec 14, 1842. Miss Mary C. Bull of Talladega Co died at the home of a George Gray in Coosa County. Marriages: Anderson Gray to Martha Jane Jumper Dec 9, 1844 Seth Butt's pension papers: Jesse and John Gray testify they knew his widow, Mary Ann Butts and the family.... Wetumpka Argus: Sept 30, 1840 death of Mr. John Gray, Jr. age 20 died after a short illness. Marriages: M. Y. Bull to Marthy Gray (sister of E. M. and Henry) Nov. 8, 1838 issued....... Nov. 8, 1838 Married Vol 1. Page 75 In another book there is alot of Gray's. I'll mention a couple, but if you send me a name, Ill see if it is one of them. Too many to copy down. A. W. Gray was a Justice of the Peace Samuel Harbon (Harbor) married a Aggy Gray on Oct. 28, 1841 William Gray married to a Elvy (Elby) Lovejoy. On 1850 census of Coosa, AL, they list family with kids Francis, Susan, Allen, Lemuel (Simon) and a woman age 75 with them named Clemma Gray from born in GA. If any of the above sounds familiar, or if you have a particular name email me and I'll check it out. I'll go ahead and list the names under Gray for you. A. W., Aggy, Allen, Caroline, Clemma, Clenny, Council, Elijah, Elizabeth, Elvy, Francis, Henry, Jesse, John, Josiah, Lemuel, Lovin, Marinda, Martha, Mary Mary, Priscilla, Robert C., "S. S.", Sarah R., Simeon, Susan, Thos, "W.", Wm. M. Also under Grey, there is James, Jessy, and Mary Hope this helps... Tina

One of the members of the local Sons of the American Revolution Chapter in Enterprise,AL who is familiar with the area, has come up with some information on William Wicker. William Wicker's grave will probably not be found in Pike County. While he died in 1852 in Pike County, Bullock County was carved from a portion of Pike County in 1866. His gravesite is probably going to be found in Bullock County possibly in Perote as there are a number of Wicker Confederate graves in Perote. John R. Wallace

I have checked out a couple books from our Genealogy library. I have for a couple days and will do lookups. Here is what they include for Autauga Co., AL: AL Records; vol 106 - Orphans court, Wills, Marriages, Rawlinson data, Lawsuits, Families who went to Ark., Rev. pension, newspaper extracts AL Records; Vol. 75 - List of Legislators, 1819-1870, Nine Cemeteries, 1819-1870 Rev. Pensioners, Lawsuits Both books were compiled by Pauline Jones Gandrud Email me at Gtownma@midsouth.rr.com with the surname and I'll get to as fast as I can. Tina Sansone I am currently looking into the Fralick lines......

On March 14th 1838 a Special Orphans Court was held giving William W. Burrage appointment as administrator of Thomas Burrage's estate. We are trying to find out when Thomas died and would like to get a copy of the will. I hope someone can help me. Thank you, Virginia Tate

Thank you so much for your quick responce Caroline and ERogers. The William Wicker you refer too, is in my line of Wicker's. Would be a cousin once removed to my John, i think, would have to go look him up. I am not sure which Robert this is, that was a very common name for the children of the Wickers along with the names John, James, William, Benjamin and Thomas. I have found land transactions where John and son, Thomas sold land in 1838 in Autauga Co. Ala, about the time John the father died and 2 marriages of Thomas' sisters to Avery's. That is all except for the 1830 census. Best i can tell, they were there about 20 yrs and most the family moved to Arkansas. I will check with the Prattville Library and the Archives in Montgomery. We will most likely wait till Tuesday morning the 30th to leave putting us there at Prattville about 4 oclock. Since Monday is a holiday. Thank you again so much, Nan from Ar.

The Autauga Genealogy Society has just completer and printed a cemetery book of the western part of the county which included Independence. There is not a Wicker mentioned. There is only one Wicker family listed in the phone book as living in Prattville. The Prattville-Autauga Library has a large holding of books which might be of some help. In two of the books I have by Larry E. Caver, Jr. does not mention the name you are looking for, but has these: From Death and Marriage Notices from Autauga Co., Alabama newspapers 1853-1889 page one has a death notice from the Autauga Citizen. March 3, 1853 - Dead in Pike County, Alabama, on Sunday, December 20th, 1852, William Wicker. The deceased was aged 106 years. He served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War. From Death, Marriage and Probate Notices from Montgomery, Alabama Newspapers, Vol II 1866-1875 - taken from The Southern Plantaion is Mrs. Wicker, wife of Robert Wicker, former Deputy Sheriff of Bullock County, died at the residence of her father, Mr. Hosea Sellers, near Perote, on the 31st ultimo. Sorry I was not able to help you any further, but maybe you can find something when you visit our area and go by the library. E. Rogers

Thank you for adding me to the list. My Wicker's moved to Autauga Co. Ala. from Washington Co. Ga. sometime in the late 1820's. John Wicker born abt. 1780 NC and wife Rebecca Cunningham Wicker. Their son Thomas Wicker b. 1809 Ga. married Tempy Luvina Avery b. 1810 Washington Co. Ga. Children: John A. Wicker b. 1831 Ala, Thomas S. Wicker b. 1834 Ala, Sarah Wicker b. 1836 Ala, Charlotte Wicker b. 1839 Ala, Amanda b. 1841 Ala. and Jane born ? in Arkansas. John Wicker died in Autauga Co. Ala. around 1840 and Thomas and family moved to LaFayette Co. and Union Co. Ar. in the 1840's. Came down the Mississippi on a flat boat to Union Co. Ar. I don't know were John and Rebecca Wicker are burried. In family history it is said that Thomas Wicker went back to Washington Co. Ga. and married Tempy Luvina Avery and brought her back to Autuaga Co. Ala. to a settlement called Independance. John and son Thomas Wicker are in the Autuaga Co. census 1830 living next to each other. I live in Ouachita Co. Ar. and will leave May 29th on a genealogy trip. Plan on comeing to Autauga Co. Ala. first. Hopeing to find were my Wicker's are burried. Thank you, Nan from Arkansas
