Is this the Andrew & Elizabeth Hunter? Family History Resource File Vital Records Index Marriages H-K Murray Co., GA Marriages 1847-1884 Andrew J. Hunter / Elizabeth Childers 5-8-1860 http://home.hiwaay.net/~bobwonda Blount Co., AL Marriages Brindley, Mace; Gillespie, Josephine; 20 Dec 1869 Brindley, Florence J.; Eberly, Hiram W.; 7 May 1876 Watts, Levi; McGlathery, Malissa; 29 Aug 1852 Watts, Levi; Hunter, Elizabeth; 18 Dec 1867 Referencing the 1880 Cullman Co., AL census, the Edward Bimdley (age 7) in the Eberly home is probably Edward Brindley. This would possibly indicate Florence Josephine Gillespie and Mace Brindley to be his parents. Luther B. Eberly (10 yr. old step daughter) is probably Luther Brindley. According to the 1850 Blount Co., AL census Florence Josephine appears to be a daughter of John C. and Adeline Gillespie. Mace P. Brindley is found in the 1860 Blount Co., AL census of Mace T. P. and Nancy Hanby Brindley. Interesting to note that in the 1840 Blount Co., AL census, pg. 19, the listing is as follows (per Juanita Askew) J.C. Gilaspie W. Hunter Elizabeth Owens W. Hunter A.P.

Dear List, I just received from NARA copies of Homestead App for my Great Grandfather Levi Watts, who was orignally in Blount County, AL in mid1850's and found later in Cullman CO-Winston CO AL. In 1871 one of the witnesses for Levi's Homestead App was Hiram Eberly. I found Hiram Eberly also listed on the 1880 Cullman CO AL census with wife Josephine-----(last name unknown). On the 1871 App Hiram Eberly stated his occupation at that time was Tax Assessor for the County of Cullman, Alabama. In Cullman County 1881 Hiram Eberly also made second for marriage of Martha Diana Francis HUNTER (Martha was raised by Levi Watts, her step-father, after her father Andrew Hunter was killed in Virginia in the Civil War abt 1865). I am trying to determine if Hiram Eberly was related to Levi Watts, and, if so, how? And what was his wife Josephine's maiden name? Was she perhaps related to Levi Watts? Below is what I have found about Hiram Eberly. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Judy Spaulding, CA 1837 born PA 1871 May 1 Hiram W.

Please let me express my appreciation for the many words of condolences I've received from list members in the last couple of weeks. The many hours I sat in front of the computer monitoring the mail lists while listening with one ear for Momma's next breath kept me sane during the last few months. I've appreciated the lifeline you provided me. Terry Jackson

Robin, I will be going to the funeral home tomorrow to arrange to have the death date carved on my mother's headstone. Here's her information if you'd like to update your file. Nectar Cem. Barbara A. Wood b. 5-16-1937 d. 9-30-2002 ss Dallas A. Wood My father and brothers, Travis (Olga) Wood and Tracey (Tanya) Wood and myself will miss her terribly. As bad as Momma will be missed, I think Stacy and Roger Jackson and Doug, Brad and Frances Wood will miss Granny even more. Momma was the daughter of Lela B. Standridge Waters Rucks Childress and Samuel Elijah Waters. She had sisters Zora Etta (Billy) McAnnally, Carol (Joe) Privett and Virginia (Kenneth) Witt. Blount Co. ancestors included Rose Etta Marsh and Henry Grady Standridge Sarah Elizabeth Jenkins and Joel Robert Marsh Mary E. Tumlin and Thomas H. Jenkins Lurany Bruce and W.H. Tumlin Susan Johnson and William Wesley Marsh Nancy Caldwell and Robert Marsh Polly Elliott and Joel Johnson Sarah and James Elliott John Jenkins Emma Horton and William Wesley Standridge Letty and Isaac Standridge Sarah Hall and Isaac Standridge Sarah Dean and Isaiah Standridge Rebecca Price and Samuel Standridge Mary Wallace and James Standridge Georgia L. Mitchell and Thurmon M. Horton Joel Mitchell Jeffrey Horton I went to the cemetery the day after the funeral. I was afraid it would be an awful day but surprisingly I was OK. Over the years Momma had spent countless hours tromping thru the cemteries with me and it seemed perfectly natural to be in the cemetery with her. A few days before she died, she was fretting because she had nothing to leave me. I reminded her of all the genealogy trips and escapades we'd had and let her know I wouldn't trade that time with her for all the gold in China. Terry Jackson
