I tried to contact you about a month ago but I'm not sure if you received my e-mail. Do you have any additional info on the Langlin or Perry family? I know very little about both of them. However, I believe Calvin's parents are Emanuel Perry and Marthy Pace Perry. They were married 31 Jan 1831 in North Carolina and are listed in the 1850 Alabama Census for Tallapoosa Co. Also, I think I found them on the 1860 Alabama Census for Bibb Co, however they are indexed as Pindar because that is the family name listed just about them. On that census, all the information matches my family except the last name. And, I believe Calvin had a brother Augustus who married Martha McNeal in 1855 in Bibb County. Augustus and Martha had two children, William E born 1857 and Mary born 1858. It is still a mystery if Calvin served during the Civil War. I have found a Calvin Perry and Augustus Perry listed with the Talladega Camp of Instruction. But I am not sure if this Calvin if gggrandfather. I do know that Joseph Calvin Perry from Bibb County was killed during the Civil War. He was married to Frances Holder and had two children, Charity and Enos. Joseph Calvin was sometimes listed as Calvin. So, it is possible the person listed might be Joseph Calvin. And, I have found vague information that Levin Perry might be a cousin to Augustus and Calvin. I would appreciate any information on either family.

Lois, Thank you so much for the INVALUABLE information.  There was another researcher had photos he wanted to share.  Could you repost this message to me on the Alcoosa and possibly the Albibb rootswebs under the subject line of "websites for cemetery pictures" or something appropriate so he will read it?  I don't read the rootsweb emails that come to me with names I'm not researching.  There are too many of them.  Thanks again. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------I volunteer for www.findagrave.com.  You should be able to find the cemetery by searching for it there.  If there is no cemetery listing, you can have one added.  The cemeteries have memorials for the those buried there.  You can find the memorial for the owner of your photo and post it there.  If there is no memorial for them, you can create one and then post your photos.  There is a discussion forum if you have questions or you can let me know of any thing you need help with.  I'd be glad to help.   www.genealogytrails.com also is trying to set up free access to genealogy resources.  You can submit your photos and information to kimmysuet@aol.com .  They aren't posting family lines, just resources.  They will give you credit for the information.  Right now, Coosa County has almost no information, so anything you can give them would be greatly appreciated.  They have plans on doing some transcription work for the state of Alabama soon, I believe in October.   I'm sure there are more places, but I hope this information is helpful.    Lois  Anderson

Hello list, Can anyone find or does anyone have a death date for John H Duff. It was between 1862 and 1868. I have estate papers but cannot see or find the death date for him. Thanks As Long As You Mention My Name, I Live....Mayberry, Wilson, Mason, Clark, Duff, Kemp... Ingrid

Just fyi, one can find an index to appealed court cases 1696-1906 in the First Decennial Digest. This as well as State Reports for (Alabama, Texas, Ill., etc.) can be found at Law Schools such as the University of Texas, University of Houston. I do not know if the U of Al in Tuscaloosa has a law school or not. Find a Law school in your state. The index usually lists the plaintiff's name first. Example: State of Alabama vs. Smith or Jones vs. Bremond. One can also access court cases at www.westlaw.com. You have to have a credit card to use this site. They charge by the case. The last one I printed was $12.00. You do not have to be an attorney to obtain cases from Westlaw. One should know how to read a case citation before trying to use a law library for genealogical research. This is a fab. and little known source for genealogical info. and worth the effort.

i live in fosters AL its bout a 5minutes drive to Ralph an to Bethel church about 10 minutes In a message dated 8/2/2008 1:26:06 P.M. Central Daylight Time, carolineh@knology.net writes: Nelda, your line must be one of those earlier Smiths. My gt. gf Andrew David Smith was b. in Bledsoe Co., Tenn. in 1832. The family story is that not long after the family reached the Tuscaloosa/Bibb area, when my gt. gf was a young boy, his father, Thomas (who was definitely m. to Mary Vernon) died - in Greene Co. In McCords cemetery book he lists a marker for Thomas Smith at Union Cemetery but it isn't there now. I've always thought it was a memorial marker. And just last week I was sifting and organizing, for the hundreth time, my genealogy notes. I found a page where I had printed info several years ago on a Thomas Smith with a marker at Old Bethel Church in Ralph, Ala. There is also a marker for whom I assume is his 18 month old son, Ezekiel T. Smith, with "son of T. and M. Smith" on it. I looked for Ralph and, by golly, it is in Tuscaloosa Co. but almost on the Greene Co. line and so he could have died in Greene and been buried in Tuscaloosa or the county lines could have changed slightly since that time.
