I see that Aquilla Blakley's son-in-law, James Young Anderton, in 1837, owned land in Section 11, Township 13, Range 1E, and that Sampson Head, in 1833, owned land in Sec. 14, Township 13, Range 1E. I also see that in 1841 Daniel Young McDonald owned land in Sec. 21, Township 11, Range 1E. The town of Allgood is located in Section 11, Township 13, Range 1E.

HEAD cousins, Several of us have recently connected!! This is VERY exciting, and we would love to have you connect with us - PLEASE post to me if you descend from George, John, James, Henry, Benjamin or Richard HEAD in SC or GA, or if your HEAD families were in the Pendleton/Pickens district in SC, Lumpkin, Haralson or Hall counties in GA, or Blount county, AL. Thanks!! Carol

Cousins, Hope all of you are having a successful search!! As always, if you get multiple copies of this post, that means you are on more than one of the lists I manage - the posts are identical, so delete all but this one. PLEASE READ this one!! If you have genealogy/local history books you no longer need and would like to sell, if you are a part of a local historical society that has materials for sale, or if you are looking for some new materials, you might enjoy one of the Gen-Mat lists at this server. To join, send SUBSCRIBE in the message part of a post to GEN-MAT-L-request@rootsweb.com or to GEN-MAT-15-L-request@rootsweb.com (the list for materials/services priced $15 or under). If, while you are researching your ancestors, you encounter plantation information - slave data - in wills, deeds, or other documents, please send it to SLAVEINFO-L@rootsweb.com so that African-American cousins who are seeking their ancestors might have a better chance of success. If you have a copyrighted book with such info and are willing to do lookups, please post that fact to the list, also. Some of you sent data a few months ago when I was planning to have a website for that purpose, but this will be even better, I think, since the archives of that list can be accessed by those who want the information. Any of you who might also want to join that list can do so by sending SUBSCRIBE in the message part of a post to SLAVEINFO-L-request@rootsweb.com The genealogy lists are only going to work for us if we POST, POST, POST........... Send ALL the information you know about the ancestor you are trying to find when you post a query. Use a very clear subject line so that a cousin will not delete your post without reading it because she thinks it does not relate to her. If you find data that you think others on the list might want to see, post it - maybe someone will do the same for you about your ancestor! If you have a resource and are willing to do lookups for the cousins on your list, post that fact to the list. Maybe a cousin on the list will do lookups in a book that mentions your ancestor. If you think of a good way for those of us on a list to work together on a project, suggest it to the list, volunteer to help with it - if we all use our talents and our effort to work together, we will find more ancestors. I see this happening on a couple of small lists and on one large list, and much progress is being made on all three! These are OUR lists for finding OUR ancestors, and they will only be as productive as we make them. REMINDER - If you have not sent your snailmail address to me (privately, of course), please do so in case you go offline and a cousin wants to contact you about your ancestor. Use the subject line SNAILMAIL. Also - if you need to contact me about anything having to do with the list you are on, please use my name - CAROL - as the subject line, so that I will read it as soon as I download it. Be sure to mention the name of the list you are on in your post. If I do not respond within 24 hours, resend it, because that would mean it was lost in cyberspace, my reply to it was lost in cyberspace, or some such. Let's find some ancestors!! Carol

I am searching information on the parents of my grandmother. I am looking for information on Joanna JOHNSON b Oct 7, 1871,d March 21, 1939, who married John Thomas TANNER b July 4, 1869, d Feb 5, 1913, and had at least six children, including Mabel TANNER SPRADLEY b. May 11, 1899 ,in Anniston, Calhoun Co, AL ; Winnie TANNER SEARCY, Ruth TANNER HOBBS; William TANNER, Hosea TANNER and Johnny TANNER. I am told by a great aunt that "some of the family came from NC" but I don't know who or where. They may have lived in Hokes Bluff AL at some time. Joanna may be a descendent of Hosea (b SC abt 1808) and Lousia (b GA abt 1818) JOHNSON, but this is not confirmed. Mabel TANNER married Clarence Victor SPRADLEY Oct 23, 1912 in Talladega CO, Al, and later moved to Tuscaloosa. My father was the son of Mabel and Clarence SPRADLEY and always said he was "part Creek Indian" but I was not concerned about details of this until it was too late to ask him. Is it possible that you have any information on this family? Thanks very much, Patsy davisdwd@earthlink.net Researching: CARD***AL, TX DESHAZO***VA, AL LEACHE***VA, AL, TX JOHNSTON/JOHNSON***SC, GA, AL SPRADLEY***SC, AL, TX TANNER***AL and others.

I am looking for information on Brasilla Barnett and his children. Brasilla Barnett m. Susanna Province 17 Nov 1845 in Madison County, AL their children: Nancy J. Barnett b. abt 1846 Seaborn Barnett b. 5 Dec 1848 m. Sarah Elizabeth McCamey Hawkins No proof of these children: Susan Barnett Isabella Barnett B.J.(Brasilla) Barnett b. abt 1865 m. Martha Province 7 Apr 1884 in Madison County, AL I know that B.J. Barnett was a brother to Seaborn because he gave his permission for B.J. to marry, and stated that he had no other living relatives. I can not locate Brasilla and Susanna in 1860, but I did find them in Marshall County, Alabama in 1850. I believe that after Brasilla died, Susanna may have married Allen McCleary and was living Jackson County, Alabama in 1870. Seaborn was married and living in Madison County, Alabama by 1870. I hope that someone can help me in my research. Sharon Martin smartin@airnet.net

That means that the archive for June 14 for the Bozeman list is #11. 3) send a post to BOZEMAN-D-request@rootsweb.com with archive in the subject line and get volume97/11 as the message. **************************************************************************** ********** Those of you on Larry Stephens' regional lists at indiana.edu (our former list home with Maiser) will recognize the rest of this post - I have his permission to use it.

Cousins, Please excuse the long delay in our surnames project - I am working on it each time I have an opportunity.

I have done very little on it at this point, but am sending the bit I have done so that you can see what it will look like. ----------------------------------------------------- ***A*** ARMSTRONG (rburress@usit.net) ----------------------------------------------------- ***B*** Barnett - <smartin@airnet.net> BLACKMAN <davisdwd@earthlink.net> BLACKWOOD - <alice@sonet.net> --------------------------------------------------------- ***C*** -------------------------------------------------------------- ***D*** Deemer (rburress@usit.net) Dickerson - <whesta80@kansas.net> --------------------------------------------------------------- ***E*** --------------------------------------------------------------- ***F*** --------------------------------------------------------------- ***G*** ---------------------------------------------------------------- ***H*** Hudson - <bla00251@wvnvm.wvnet.edu> ---------------------------------------------------------------- ***I*** ---------------------------------------------------------------- ***J*** JOHNSTON <davisdwd@earthlink.net> JONES (rburress@usit.net) JONES - <alice@sonet.net> ----------------------------------------------------------------- ***K*** ----------------------------------------------------------------- ***L*** Lee (rburress@usit.net) LOGGINS - <DSnyder@apci.net> LOVE - <DSnyder@apci.net> ----------------------------------------------------------------- ***M*** ------------------------------------------------------------------ ***Mc*** McCleskey - sylvia@mindspring.com MCCLURKEN - <DSnyder@apci.net> McDonald - <phillips@sundial.net> McDonald - <whesta80@kansas.net> McNeal/McNeil - <whesta80@kansas.net> ------------------------------------------------------------------ ***N*** NATION - <DSnyder@apci.net> ------------------------------------------------------------------ ***O*** ------------------------------------------------------------------- ***P*** -------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Q*** -------------------------------------------------------------------- ***R*** -------------------------------------------------------------------- ***S*** SPRADLEY <davisdwd@earthlink.net> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ***T*** TANNER <davisdwd@earthlink.net> TIDWELL - <DSnyder@apci.net> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ***U*** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ***V*** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***W*** Warren - <phillips@sundial.net> Wildman-Wileman (rburress@usit.net) Wood - sylvia@mindspring.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- ***X*** -------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Y*** -------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Z*** --------------------------------------------------------------------
