Does anyone have any information on Lankford Waid and his wife Sarah Tidwell? Their son Velt Archer Waid was born 1879 in St Clair County, Alabama. He died in 1963 and is buried Tidwell Cemetery, Allgood, Alabama. According to a small book by the late Judge Waid, Lankford is the son of Elijah, who was the son of James Waid (son of Greenberry Waid and wife Amelia Thompson). Since my hubby has the Thompsons and Mortons that flow into this family I am set as far as that part of their background goes. The Waid info that I have is just what Judge Waid has put out. Nothing further at the museum. I will be meeting with a couple who desires to know more about Lankford and Sarah and about their son Velt Waid. If anyone has further info on this family would love to hear from you and will put you in touch with the couple. I am hoping to have a fruitful meeting with them at the museum at the end of the month. I suspect that Sarah Tidwell is a descendant of Robert Tidwell and Monica Mamie Roden because of where Velt and Sarah are buried. Could very well descend from Jeremiah, Vardy or Blake Tidwell, who were sons of Robert and Monie. Any help in helping me to assist this sweet couple would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Melba Lowe
