I currently believe Rebecca to be the child of Sarah Miller and William H. Connell who married on February 25, 1845 in Autauga Co, AL. Sarah Connell is listed on the 1860 Autauga Co. Census with six children. Had William died? One of the children is a Rebecca, aged 4 years. On the 1870 Census, there is a Becky Ann Connell and four other Connell minors living in the household of William Y. and Emily Mims. Had Sarah died? Were the Mims related to the Connells? Were Rebecca and William cousins? I believe also that this Rebecca and William moved to Red Bay, Franklin Co, AL. I believe them to be the parents of: George Washington Mims born 1876, probably in AL; William Joseph Mims, Lee Alexander Mims, Eligh (is this perhaps Eli or Elijah?) Mims and James Alec Mims. George Washington Mims married Mattie Dora Jones in Monroe Co, MS, date unknown.This couple moved from AL through the MS counties of Monroe, Chickasaw, Webster and settled in the Valley Hill community of Carroll Co, MS. George's father, William apparently came to MS with this couple, when George bought land in Carroll Co, in 1903. Family history has it that Rebecca is buried somewhere near the Chickasaw Co, MS town of Okolona. William is buried in the White Church Cemetery in Carroll Co, MS in an unmarked grave. William Joseph Mims married Kattie Bittles.This couple had a son LeRoy who died as a child and is buried in a Cemetery in Tishomingo Co, MS. Lee Alexander Mims, known as Bud married Sallie, maiden name unknown. This couple moved to Texas, but returned to either AL or MS I don't know what happened to Eligh and James Alec. Sonya Mims

The mysteries of cyberspace?? We haven't been able to accomplish much on this line as of yet. We find George Patterson CRUIKSHANK b. ca 1796 in Scotland (we think). He was married to Lovedy Campbell McNEIL ca 1823. These dates and Scotland location come from other family searchers with research data from older relatives. At this time I have seen no documentation. Geoge P. was murdered on March 2, 1830 in Autauga County, AL. This is documented in the book "Autauga County the First 100 Years 1818-1918". Lovedy was left a young widow with 3 children and another on the way. Their children were: Ann Elizabeth Campbell b. 12-29-1824, Marcus Henderson b. 9-5-1826, Walter Cyrus b. ca 1828, Elizabeth George b. 10-3-1830. I am wondering about the Scotland origin because in the 1860 census of Talladega County, AL I found in the household of Marcus Henderson, a male CRUIKSHANK whose first name I think to be Gordon, no age, but showing to have been born in Germany. This was about the time we think Walter Cyrus died, so I am wondering if it is a relative visiting in the household. Would love to hear about your line, maybe we connect!

A deplorable tragedy in which Tom NICHOLS, a young white man about 18 years old, was shot and instantly killed, occurred last Sunday afternoon on the Hamilton place a few miles west of Prattville. The killing occurred at a small store operated by J.T. NICHOLS, father of the dead boy… NICHOLS claims that a difficulty started between himself and one of the colored men, Enoch WILLIAMS, and that while they were clinched and tussling, WILLIAMS snatched a pistol from his pocket and fired it at him, missing him and killing the boy who was standing near… The remains of the unfortunate boy were brought to Prattville soon after the killing and carried to Spigener's undertaking establishment, and later carried to his late home on the Lower Kingston Road, just beyond the city limits, and on Monday afternoon were interred at the Durden Graveyard. Mrs. H.H. McNEIL, of Dothan, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. H.E. GIPSON. Mrs. J.A. PRATT is the guest of her brother, Dr. Eugene A. SMITH, in Tuscaloosa. Mrs. JACKS, wife of Mr. D.V.

WYATT of this city… July 9, 1914: Mrs. Lee J. ANDREWS, who has been spending several weeks with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.W.

Mrs. FLOYD before her marriage being Miss Minnie FALLON… It was learned here last Sunday afternoon that George WHITE, the son of William N. WHITE, a farmer residing a few miles north of Prattville, had shot and seriously injured his father that afternoon near the WHITE home… Whereas, the Great Spirit of the Universe has called from our hunting grounds, Brother George W. WALLS, and whereas, the intimate relations held during a long Christian life by him with the members of Autauga Tribe No. 37, Improved Order of Red Men, makes it fitting that we record our appreciation of him… Resolved, that the sudden removal of such a man from our Tribe and the church, in both of which he held leading positions for many years, leaves a vacancy and shadow that will be deeply realized by all members of the Tribe and church… -Submitted by A.J.

Tom, I guess what the experts say is really true-our ancestors relocated with families from the same area. E. P. ROBINSON and wife Hardenia also moved to TX about that same year (1869). They had lost most everything following the war and headed west to join other members of the family; first in Houston/Galveston area, then here in Austin. Enoch Poor ROBINSON had migrated to Autauga Co, AL from NH-married in GA and had a manufactoring plant of some sort in Lowndes Co next to Autauga. Some of their known friends were the PRATTS and SMITHS. Do you know of any other families that moved with your WILSONS? EP and Hardenia died in TX, but their bodies were shipped by train back to Autauga Co, AL where they were buried in Oak Hill Cemetery. Thanks for your information.
