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.
