Stella, THANK YOU. As Chilton is a neighboring county and linked to most of my Bibb ancestors, I thought it was appropriate to promote the Cemetery Website and the cookbook was not my focus. Idiots like me have to be hit in the head with a 2 x 4 occasionally about what's happening like this cemetery website. I know that Fred Lawrence and many others have digitally photographed and gps'd Bibb websites and put them on one of these websites, but I just can't seem to find the time to keep track of it all. I don't know if I will ever, but it is interesting and fascinating. PLUS, I got a LOT of genealogy info from some of the cookbooks, especially the Geeslin Family cookbook so they are noteworthy also. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Willis1930@webtv.net> To: <albibb@rootsweb.com> Cc: "Debbie Moore" <dymoore1@bellsouth.net>; "Helen & Susan Moore" <DMoore6364@wmconnect.com>; <albibb@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 26, 2009 10:52 AM Subject: Re: [ALBIBB] Chilton County Cemetery Group and their cookbook > Evelyn, I sent it to you, I didn't think we were supposed to send it to > other county group lists.

Yes, Evelyn, this cookbook has signed recipes...tellng history of the recipe...it is a very nive gift idea, a lot of folks collect cookbooks. I had about fifty one time, my husband built a special shelf for them, in my breakfast room.I hope I will be able to have some of our books, at my annual Willis family reunion, at Clanton Ball Park Club Room, July 11, on Saturday. And they hopefully will be ready for the PeachJam in June. You can save 3.00 per book by picking it up, saving the postage. The Clanton newspapers have been very generous with printing news about the Cemetery work. Kat and Jeff and Dennis, did my family cemetery, "The Old Ellison Cemetery" out from Clanton. Did a great job, with military stones, and a full dedication...with a gun salute, cannon and the whole bit. We are very grateful. Thanks for your letter. Stella

Evelyn, I sent it to you, I didn't think we were supposed to send it to other county group lists. They are not for promoting a sale, of anything. I knew you were from the area, there close to Chilton. I have been a member of this since about when it started. Was on the cookbook commititee but have been sick and inactive...so thought I would get the word out to friends...Sorry if this wasn't supposed to go to a list. Stella Roper

Evelyn I agree that the cookbook is interesting and a worthy cause and I encourage anyone who has relatives in Chilton or who want to form and association in another place to preserve and restore local cemeteries to take a look at the website: http://www.chiltoncemeteries.org/ (Registration at the site is free.) Katherine and her husband, Jeff, have been the driving force behind this association since it was formed just over a year ago. Sales from this cookbook will go a long way towards providing funds for the work they do. I encourage everyone who can to order a cookbook/join the association. Another another note, the Chilton County courthouse has never burned. Chilton wasn't formed until 1868 after the Civil War. There was a small fire in the early 1900's but most, if not all, of the records were saved. BTW, I am pretty sure we have discussed MOORE's in Chilton County in the Chilton Genealogy Group @ Yahoo. I know we have discussed Obediah Moore's line. You are welcome to join our group and search our message archives, files, photos, etc. It is, of course, free. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chilton/ Melissa ________________________________ Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2009 23:28:23 -0400 From: "Evelyn" <edshimek@cox.net> Subject: [ALBIBB] Chilton County Cemetery Group and their cookbook I'm grateful to whoever sent this to me and it really does look interesting.

Placing an advance order not only gets you one of these fantastic cookbooks but also helps us pay for the first cookbook run. We *really* need your help on this. There are 150 recipes, most with a note attached that tells you either something about the history of the recipe, it's origin, or what Chilton County related person originally made it for their family. We've shuffled through our family's favorite recipes and pulled out the gems, there is also a microwave cooking area for quick and easy cooking. It also includes 32 pages of cooking hints and tips, cooking terms, ingredient substitutions, pages on the best seasonings for meats, a generalized cooking chart, calorie counts, and even pages on napkin folding and table settings. Wonderful for the new Bride and Groom or young cook as well. This is a fundraising project that can help us raise quite a bit of money for our general fund, which goes directly to our cemetery work. We ask that you please help and support us on this fundraiser by placing your advance order for a cookbook as soon as possible. Remember they'll make great gifts too and cookbooks last forever.

I have been contacted by Pat McBride, the elderly daughter of Bibb Countians who moved to and died in Turnerville (I think she said) in her vicinity. She has asked for information. Her parents' names were Cas F. Smithermand and Drucilla. She said that Drucilla was born in 1899. She also mentioned a Marion Francis (Smitherman?). Her address is 8385 Woodland Ct., Cintronelle, Alabama 36522. I have her phone numbers also if anyone wants to email me at edshimek@cox.net. She does not have access or knowledge of the internet, but of course would have information about her family. She asked about the LAWRENCE/EDWARDS/HICKS REUNION. I'm hoping she will attend. It will be held as always on the SECOND SATURDAY IN SEPTEMBER AT TABERNACLE METHODIST CHURCH ROAD STARTING AT 10 AM UNTIL WHENEVER. IT IS OFF OF HIGHWAY 82 (near mile marker 96) TURN ONTO HURRICANE RIDGE ROAD AND FOLLOW THAT ROAD AROUND TO THE LEFT UNTIL YOU FIND TABERNACLE METHODIST CHURCH ON THE LEFT.

I forgot to mention that I did look online and found a Martin C. Litton who served as Pvt. in D company 20th Alabama inf., also recored as martin c litten.

I'm going to first of all start with my great grandmother. Her name was Ida May Wallace. She was born 25 May 1886 in Alabama. I believe that she was born in Bibb county. She was the Eldest of her sibblings and the only one born in Alabama. the rest of them were born in Arkansas. I believe that her parents William Thomas "Tom" Wallace and Annie "Dora" Litton were probably married in 1885-1886, again in Bibb County. In the 1860 census: {WALLACE} WEST SIDE CAHABA RIVER I find William and his family living in the WEST SIDE CAHABA RIVER, Bibb, alabama. His father William is age 30, born about 1830 in Alabama. His mother Mary, age 28 born about 1832 in alabama. His brother John R. , age 7, born about 1853 in Alabama. His brother William age 6, born about 1854 in Alabama. His brother James H. age 2, born about 1858 in Alabama. And finally him Danay (suppose to be Tommy) R., age 1 born about 1859 in alabama. In the 1870 Census: {WALLACE} SCOTTSVILLE His father is listed as "John" Wallace age 68 born in Alabama. His wife Mary is age 41 born in Alabama. His brother (John) Robert is age 21. His brother James is 19. His brother Monroe is 17. His brother Henry is 15, and Thomas is 11. His sister Emily is 9. His brother John is 7. His brother Arthur is 4. and finally his sister Ann is 1. In the 1880 Census: {WALLACE} SIX MILE His father is deceased. Mary is age 50, and states that she is from Alabama, and that her father came from South Carolina and her mother was from Alabama. Tomie, is age 21. His sister Emeley is 19. His brother Johney is 18. His SISTER Marthey (Martha?) is 14. (I think that martha was the intended name for "Arthur" above in the 1870 census. You know census takers and the mistakes that have been found). Annie, age 11, and Henry age 25. In the 1900 Census: {WALLACE} SIX MILE (Mary) Elizabeth Wallace is age 68, and living with her son "Walter" (Henry?) age 45, and HIS family. His wife Ruth age 30 born in Al about 1869. Son Jake age 10 born about 1889 in Alabama. Daughter May age 8 born about 1891. Lizzie, daughter age 6 born about 1893 in alabama. Clara age 6, born about 1894 Alabama. And finally Dewey, age 1 born about 1899 in alabama. (on the same census, there is another group of Wallaces who I believe to be related) Early Wallace, age 43 born in alabama. His wife Eliza age 32, His daughter Rosa age 11. Son Ervan age 9 born in Alabama. Mamie his daughter age 6 born in alabama. Paton, son age 4 born in alabama. and finally a son named Lawson age 5 months born in alabama. in the 1910 Census: {WALLACE} SIX MILE I find out that "Walter" (Henry?) is John Walter. He is listed with his wife Ruth and children. Mary Elizabeth is not there, so I think that she probably was passed away by the 1910 census. Now onto the Litten/Litton side of the family: in the 1870 Census: (LITTON) SCOTTSVILLE Anna was born about 1863, age 7 and born in alabama. Her father was listed as Mat Litton age 34, about 1834 born in North Carolina. Her mother was Emma (Lowery) age 33, about 1835 born in Tenn. Son John age 11 born about 1859 in alabama. Daughter mary age 8, born about 1862 in alabama. Charles age 3, born about 1867 in Alabama. and (Butler?) a daughter born in 1869, age 1 in Alabama. in the 1880 Census: (Litton) SCOTTSVILLE Mat is now listed as Martin C. Litten, age 45, born in North Carolina about 1835. His wife Emmitta (Lowery) is age 39, born about 1841 in Tenn. Their children: John T., age 20 born about 1860 in alabama. Mary C. age 18, born about 1862 in Alabama. *Annie d. (the D is for Dora) age 15, born in alabama. Carles (carl or charles?) age 12, born about 1868 in alabama. Rutha L. age 9 born about 1871 in alabama. Martha B. age 7 born about 1873 in alabama. Sarah A. age 6, born about 1874 in alabama. Dovie C. (daughter) age 4, born about 1876 in Alabama. Emma m. age 2, born about 1878 in Alabama. and listed with them is Emmitta's mother :Mary Ann Lowery, age 73, born about 1807 in Georgia. Martin Litton married Emma Lowery on 11 May 1859 in bibb county Al. in the 1900 Census: (LITTON) HALLMAN Emma R. Litton is age 59, from Tenn. Her father was from Tenn and her mother from GA. She was born Mar of 1841. She is now Widowed. Mother of 10 children of which only 9 are living. Her daughter Martha v. lives with her age 27, single born about jul. 1872 in alabama. Martin C. her son age 19, born in Dec. of 1889. And Emma P. age 4 (grand daughter) born Jan. 1896 in alabama. in the 1910 Census: (LITTON) Precinct 4, District 5, Bibb, AL Emma Litton is age 66 from Al. born about 1844.

Hi again List, This is a story about a sheriff being shot, not a sheriff shooting someone else. Sorry for the confusion. It happened in the early 1940's in Brent or Four Points. Ingrid Ingrid J Marshall

Hello List, Just came across a story from a friend about a sheriff shooting in the early 1940's in Brent or Four Points. Does anyone know the story behind it? Does anyone know the name of the sheriff or the criminal? Thanks Ingrid Ingrid J Marshall
