To John and everyone on this list-- I'm just now reading this posting, and there is something very anti-common sense in this picture. Not more than an hour ago, I was on the phone with a librarian who is the Secretary of the Woburn (MA) Historical Society over which I preside, and she said " almost all of the people who do genealogical research are retired because they are the only ones with the time to do it". It's no secret that the Baby-boomers, one of the largest (if not the largest) generations in U.S. history, are on the cusp of starting their retirement years. For 60 years the Baby-boom has been the economic equivalent of a gold strike. Do you mean to say that a major U.S. genealogical collection is phasing out at this point in history? Unbelievable ! That's like the Wright Bros. giving up in 1902 to go promote bicycles. I hope the BPL and the Birmingham powers-that-be reconsider this decision, ...Cary Scarborough In a message dated 10/22/06 4:06:14 P.M.

The real confusion comes in when I looked at the microfilm of original church records. They list a Mary Iler, born Jul 1882, but the census doesn't list Mary; it lists Luther born Nov 1882 (church records say he was born Apr 1882). In fact the Church records for Mary say she died 1919, but the 1900 census lists a child Mary born in 1897! I don't think they would have 2 children named Mary both alive at the time, do you? Unless one went by a middle name. The 1900 census also lists a Willie, born Feb 1892, but church records list Robert H born mar 1892. The census says lula was born june 1884, but church records say oct 1884. The church reccords also show another child of Lewis and Martha, but the name is smudged or torn, and unreadable. This child was born nov 1886, but the census doesn't list one that would fit. But Nellie was born March 1887! So obviously, either the church records are wrong, or the census info is wrong! Which should I trust??? I am hoping someone will have first hand info about this family. Lewis is the brother of my husband's great grandmother. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hi June! This is what I have: Aquilla Miles born in Baldwin Co., Georgia, married Elizabeth P. Davis, daughter of Lewis Cookson Davis and Sarah (Sally) Perkins 1823 son: James DeGraffenreid Miles of Lowndes County, Ala. married Ellen L. Day, of Russell county, Ala., daughter of William Wiley Day and Lucretia Vann 1853 son: James DeGraffenreid Miles Jr. of Freestone county, TX married Emma Arnett, who was born in Mechanicsville, TN daughter of Dr. James E. Arnett and Rhoda C. Melton-He was born in KY, practiced medicine in Tenn., she was born in Tenn. daughter: Ellen Carolyn Miles of Navarro county, TX married Alfred Edward Conitz of Calvert, Robertson county,TX 1937 * (me) daughter: Cecelia Carolyn Conitz 1. Sargent 2. Heinrich son: James Eric (deceased) daughter: Joan Catherine sons: Christopher Ashton Have you, by any chance, seen the book, "Your Inheritance Vol. II" by Robbie Lee Gillis Ross, who was from North Carolina? This is a lovely book with a lot of research, and excellent contributions by various family members. There are several pages on Lewis Cookson Davis, Sarah Perkins, and quite a bit on the Miles and related families. Mrs. Ross' grandmother was Margaret Josephine Miles Gillis, sister to my James DeGraffenreid. Josephine kept 6 journals during her short life, but lost all but one when she and her husband were moving. Their wagon overturned in a creek and the only journal saved was the one she had in her purse. This journal was kept from 1860 - 1868, just before, during, and shortly after the Civil War. It covers her years as a young woman on her father's plantation, through her marriage to a Methodist preacher, the War years, and the aftermath, until a few days before her death at age 29. Some of the journal is used in Mrs. Ross' book. The original, along with author's notes, is in the Alabama Dept. of Archives and History. Mrs. Ross also donated a copy of her book to that collection. I know the book is in other libraries, however, it is not loaned out. While Mrs. Ross was writing the book, she and my mother were corresponding. Mrs. Ross sent us a copy of the journal to read, and it was fascinating. When I retired and started working on family history, the first thing I did was to send for a copy of the journal, and I was thrilled to receive it. I plan to try to type it so that it will be easier to read. The old script is hard on the eyes, and it is on loose, legal size pages. The copy Mrs. Ross sent us was bound into a book. My mother thought it sounded just the way that I write! Mrs. Ross has been dead for some years, now. My mother died also about 18 years ago. In one of her letters to my mother, Mrs. Ross said that she had been to the old Miles home in Lowndes county, Ala. She said that you could tell it had once been a grand place. I've been very interested in finding a picture of that house. I wrote to the Lowndes county message board, the library, and the courthouse, but no responses. A cousin from Louisiana went through there when they evacuated to Atlanta during Katrina. He stopped at the Post Office, but, of course, they didn't know where the house was. I told him he needed to go to the courthouse as the Post Office people wouldn't have a clue about that family. They all left some time after the Civil War! But, he did find the cemetery where Aquilla, Elizabeth, Josepine, a daughter in law, and two of their grandchildren are buried. He sent me pictures of the tombstones and church by the cemetery. That's nice to have, but I would love to find that house and have a picture of it. As I collect information about people, I am also looking for stories, pictures of them, their homes, their businesses, things that were related to them. Someone sent me a lot of information on the Miles family as well as a picture of the old Manor House on the east coast. It's St. Joseph's Manor, part of Beaverdam Manor, and the state escapes me now! I would have to go back and look it up. I'm thinking Maryland, but that just flew out the window as I typed! I have information further back than Mrs. Ross' book, which she did without the aid of a computer! She goes back to Thomas Miles, who died in North Carolina in 1766. From Mrs. Ross' book, a son of Thomas Miles and Hannah McComas, was Abrham Miles. Abraham Miles married Elizabeth Talbert. Their son, John, married Peggy. One of John and Peggy's sons was Aquilla, who married Elizabeth P. Davis. Going back further, with materials sent me by another Miles descendant : Thomas Miles' father was John Miles, whose father was also John Miles. John Miles married Mary Beckwith, both from Yorkshire, England. Mary's father was George Beckwith, and his father was Marmaduke Beckwith of Clint and Yorkshire, England. Some information says that Marmaduke Beckwith sold his lands in Clint and bought Featherstone Castle and Acton Castle. Marmaduke came to the U.S. with the Calverts on the Ark and the Dove, and made trips back and forth on business, as did his son, George. George died on one trip, but his wife looked for him for two years, not knowing he was dead. She died in the U.S., after she learned of George's death. A trustee was to oversee Mary's interests, but was stealing and didn't have her best interests at heart. John Miles found out about it and ran the scoundrel off, took over taking care of Mary's interests, and eventually married her. Then he took over seeing to her land and the Manor. They lived at St. Joseph's Manor. The house was torn down, years later, but it was haunted, so no one stayed long. According to the story, a descendant bought the land, rebuilt the house as it had been, and the spirits are happy. Featherstone Castle is in use today in Yorkshire and there are pictures and information online. Acton is also online, but it is a ruin. All I have found on Miles, so far, is back to Nicholas Miles, but there are more on the related families of Beckwith, Baskerville, Frost, etc. Someone also sent me a lot of information on Lewis Cookson Davis, but I've had 3 computer episodes since then and I only have the person's e-mail address left. I thought I did a good thing by saving things on floppy disks, but, after my first computer problem, I got everything back, except what was on those disks-and the disks won't work in any computer! Last December, I deleted a newsletter I was reading, and all my e-mail for a year disappeared, including what the woman sent me on Lewis Cookson Davis. Now, I have been having problems with connecting to my server. We had an explosion at a power plant and that didn't help matters. I had unplugged my computer, so that was okay, but a lot of people, and servers have been having problems. I just keep getting timout messages or can't find server, with it working for just a little while. I finally unplug the computer and leave it alone for a while. Then messages start going through again, for a few minutes. One night, I clicked the x up in the right corner, to start to close my computer, and all my whole three years worth of messages just disappeared. I'm sure they are in there somewhere as I can do a search for a message and, at least, the part where I answered comes up. Unfortunately, I can't remember the subject or sender for all those messages! Some things, I really didn't want to lose. But, I do have addresses in my address book, so I can contact people. I found one person's e-mail, who had said they are also a descendant of Lewis Cookson Davis. I thought I had lost that one, and couldn't find their e-mail address, either. I am in the process of searching for messages and printing out important information. They didn't send information, just their website. I've been needing to get back to them, but I just found their e-mail again. I'm also working on labeling and sorting out old pictures as I am the next to the oldest person left in my family. The oldest one had a stroke and is in a nursing home here. She doesn't remember a lot, though, before the incident, and after, she was very sharp, especially with names and dates, and all kinds of numbers. Some things that I ask her about, she never did know, however. We were going to label all the old family pictures, and I was writing what she remembered. But, we didn't get very far. I still take pictures and letters over. She can tell me some things, at times. The other residents enjoy the old pictures and things I read to them! Another project I am doing is making out family group sheets to try to figure out all these people! I only started out to label old pictures that were passed down to me through at least 5 families. And it has just grown and grown! Everything I learn seems to add a bit of information, but opens up many more questions! As I understand it, you are related to Lewis Cookson Davis through his first wife, Sarah Anderson, while I am related through his second wife, Sally Perkins. Very interesting, and it is good to meet you! Cecelia in Texas ----- Original Message ----- From: "John T & June R.

Mary, Did you have Davis ancestors in Autauga county? My great-great grandmother was Elizabeth P. Davis who married Aquilla Miles of Lowndes county. Elizabeth's parents were Lewis Cookson Davis and Sarah Perkins. I have some information from the book YOUR INHERITANCE Vol. II by Robbie Lee Gillis Ross. Also have pictures of the graves of Elizabeth, Aquilla, and several other family members in the Oakview Cemetery in Lowndesboro. Just wondered, when I saw your name. I really wish I could find pictures of more of the Miles family, Davis family, and their homes. When Mrs. Ross wrote her book, she said that she had been to the Miles home in Lowndes county. A cousin of mine from Louisiana went through there when they evacuated to Atlanta for Katrina. He looked for the home, but no one at the Post Office knew anything about it. He did find the cemetery and took pictures of the graves for me. He is on my father's side of the family while the Miles and Davis families were on my mother's side. But, I really appreciated him looking for me.

Minnie Stoudenmire was married to (Rev.) George Jenkins in October 1889. I do not know her parents' names but the family was originally from Perry County then migrated to Autauga. >From what I researched, Minnie and she and a sister lived with a family in Autauga county in 1870.

Hi Caroline: I've tried to e-mail you a number of times and I haven't gotten a reply. It occurred to me that possibly my e-mails going out are not really going out.

We bought a new laptop that my husband has set up, and when I send e-mails out it goes through it's little thing and puts a copy in the Sent folder, but I'm not getting any replies from anyone. So maybe it just looks like e-mails are going out. At any rate I am sending this note to you from a system down in the office that I've used before to e-mail you. So this should actually go through to you. My Mom and I will start out for Alabama on the 28th or 29th. We will first visit the Demopolis, Shiloh area where there are ancestor grave sites. Then we will head for Prattville to visit the Stewart-Morgan Cemetery. I was hoping that I would be able to get those copies of the Stewart and Morgan documents.

Hi Caroline I'm in Texas with my folks now. Hopefully my Mom and I will be able to begin our trip in a couple of weeks.
