Assuming a person did not physically move, and they lived in the Cornelius area (part of district 31, enumeration district 21) on the 1900 census, which 1910 census enumeration district would they be in? I am looking for a James WADE who was on the 1900 census (p. 240) but so far I cannot find him on the 1910 census. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Folks, Does anyone have any info at all on the James WADE b. 1857 AL who appears on the 1900 Blount Co AL census (p. 240, Cornelius Precinct, Ed 21)? This James WADE had wife named Lou and oldest dau. Lula. I would love to prove or disprove that this is my long lost great grandfather. Thank you, Eldon mailto:[email protected] List admin for SC-Old96 Researching: WADE, HAMES

Last week I visited Ricetown Chapel Cemetery in Blount Co., AL. There are four Revolutionary Soldiers Veteran Markers there. They are located on the first row side-by-side. Does anyone know anything about when they were placed there? Or, who had it done? Since they are side-by-side, it stands to reason that perhaps the exact location of their graves might not have been known at the time. The names of the soldiers are: Charles Campbell John David Files Jeremiah Files Moses Payne I am especially interested in information about Moses Payne. I am descended from Newton Payne, who is considered by some to be a grandson of Moses. Thanks, Melba Clark

Dear researchers, if you are close to Oneonta Alabama, you might want to stop in soon and take a look at some old pictures that have been loaned to the museum. They are behind the curators desk, are quite large, and are in excellent shape. They are framed and have info about who is who. A good digital camera would make a great picture as they can't be removed from the frames. The two large photos that I saw yesterday are: J. Monroe Hays and wife Evaline Thomas Hays The other: Scott Thomas, Lee Thomas, Frances Green Thomas (expecting Ida in the picture), Riley Thomas, John Thomas, Presley and Bertha Marsh, Neely Thomas Montgomery, Sevilla Thomas Stephenson, Annie Thomas Stephenson. Lots of new exhibits too...Melba Lowe

I have been searching for the marriage record of William Redwine Clowdus and Phebia Kezia Hardwick, who supposedly were married in Blount County, Alabama. However, their marriage is not listed in the "Early Blount County Marriages" at the Bobwanda website http://home.hiwaay.net/~bobwonda/Other%20Stuff/marriageframeset.html It is explained that the marriage book that covers the years between 1845 and 1852 is missing. However, I found evidence of the marriage at Yates Publishing Company and I wrote them for the record but it turned out to be just a repetition of what I already knew. I was hoping for information on the parentage of Phebia Kezia. Some say her father was Robert Marion Hardwick and others say he was Garland Hardwick. Now it stands to reason that someone has the book and is using it, or else William Redwine Clowdus and Phebia Kezia Hardwick were married in another county. Is there a website where they publish marriages of the state of Alabama, or can anyone give me some insight to where I might find the information? I really appreciate your help. Thanks so much.

Announcing the First Offering of Volume I of Blount County, Alabama Cemeteries. Volume I of the three volume series covers in alphabetical order, Blount County cemeteries A - H. Although different printed sources were consulted in preparing these volumes, this book is not a reprint of earlier works, but represents All New Surveys of all the known cemeteries of Blount County as of 2002. Volume I is softbound (8 1/4" x 10 3/4"), 335 pages, with a hard, printed spine which will sit well on a bookshelf. It also contains a full color cover page and a Full Name Index (surname, first name) for each person represented with a readable gravestone. Other notes inside the book identify the burial location of most of the Blount County Soldiers from the 1907 Blount County Confederate Census, include hundreds of 19th Century Blount County marriage dates alongside the couple's burial information, and identify where brief biographies can be found in the original Heritage of Blount County Book (1972). Other notes include Township, Range, and Section Number for each cemetery and directions. Only 50 of these books are available. The Blount County Museum in Oneonta will offer a limited number before the end of March. These books are not available in any bookstore and only direct from the author or from the Blount County Museum. Volume II should be available in about 4 to 8 weeks. The third and final Volume III will follow in the Summer. For more information, email me at: [email protected] kindest regards, robin sterling

I am looking for someone who can copy marriage licenses at the Oneonta courthouse and send to me. Live too far away to do so myself. State cost.

George, That "township14, range 1w, section 8" in Blount Co. appears to be close to the Blount/Jefferson line. Over several years the line changed counties several times in several places. It is possible that it may have at sometime been in Jefferson. More research would be needed to know for sure. Sometimes the after death stipulation was put in deeds to avoid a problem of a child [or some other person] putting the original owner out. The stipulation insured a place for them to live until their death. As for "no evidence of any graves" sometimes all evidence is gone even though there were graves. Even know locations of burials have been changed by time and men.

Is it possible that township14, range 1w, section 8 was at one time in another county? According to the deedbook E, page 245, H.C. Barton and wife Rebecca sold 80 acres to Gilbert Barton but "not to be taken into possion until the death of Henry C. Barton". There must have been a good reason for that stipulation and I think it was because of family burials on the property but I have been there and no evidence of any graves there.
