Would someone be kind enough to look up an obituary for Martha Elizabeth Schell or Shell? She passed away May 13, 1923 probably in Anniston, Alabama. Need to know where she is buried. Any other information gleaned from this record would be very much appreciated. Thank you, Rick Eklund

Looking for any information on Moses McCULLOUGH, dob unk. Place of birth probably Scotland. Was believed to have a farm in Dallas Co. AL, "on the banks of the Alabama River", in 1860...this farm supposedly stayed in the family for many years. I have not found any trace of it. There are Land Patent Records for Moses H. McCullough in Shelby Co. AL, but none for Dallas Co. There is note of a marriage of Moses H. McCullough to Malicia MARTIN, on 8 April 1856 in Shelby Co. AL. Moses H. McCullough had three sons: F. Moses, James, and Charlie. F. Moses was said to have been born in Scotland. I don't know the place of birth of James or Charlie. I have not found Moses McCullough on any online Ships Passenger Lists. Also seeking information on Frank McCullers, b. 1890, Calhoun Co. AL Died 1954. Was married to Ruby Alma Byrd also of Calhoun Co. AL. Information on any of the above, or any suggestions on where to look next, will be most appreciated. Arlene Hampton AHamptonResearch@aol.com

I have a few Martins in my family, but am mostly interested in the McCains of Calhoun/Benton Co, Ala. Namely the father of Thomas J. The J. was for Jefferson or Jonathan.

VIRGIL CLEVELAND3 MCCAIN (THOMAS J.2) was born March 30, 1891 in Piedmont, Alabama, and died September 23, 1972 in Piedmont, Alabama. He married MARY PELHAM COPPOCK March 26, 1911 in Piedmont, Alabama, daughter of JIM COPPOCK and NANCY MARTIN. She was born August 24, 1894, and died August 18, 1970 in Piedmont, Alabama. Children of VIRGIL MCCAIN and MARY COPPOCK are: 9. i. PLUMA4 MCCAIN, b. January 15, 1912; d. October 1982, Piedmont, Alabama. 10. ii. J.C. MCCAIN, b. February 07, 1914, Piedmont, Alabama; d.

Barbara, I am a descendant of Thomas Pinkney Martin's dau., Samantha. The name Pinkney caught my eye in your query. These Martins came to the Ragland area around 1850 from Forsyth Co., GA. Some of them migrated on down into Talladega Co. near the Lincoln and Ironoton area. Are these the same Martins as yours?

I'm searching for info on: Loving Martin and his wife, Permelia. They were probably from South Carolina. Their daughter, Edna C. Martin, married Edward Pinckney Gregory, around 1853. These two families moved to Alabama around 1853/54, probably to Calhoun Co. It's possible that Edna had a sister named Ann Martin b. abt 1850, she married John Steward in 1870 and she died in 1907. She's buried in the Martin Family Cemetery in Ohatchee, Calhoun Co., AL. I do have lots of info on the descendants of these families, but need more info on them in Alabama. Thanks! Barbara (Gregory) Price

Where do I find the Census books for Cherokee County, Alabama 1850-1870? Thanks, Ray Sword Weaver, AL

I have the same CD (Alabama Marriages 1800-1900) and will be happy to help Sara out with lookups. Please email me privately at Leevje2@aol.com Please indicate "Marriage Lookup" in the subject line. Kathy

Dear Group, I just subscribed to the list and can not pull the databank of past messages. I am looking for any information on John Milton Patterson I born in Georgia in 1790 and lived most of his adult life in Benton/Calhoun County. I descend from his son John Milton II and his wife, Mary Turner. Any information will be appreciated. Liz

I can no longer do look-ups on the marriage CD for Alabama. If you wish, the CD can be purchased at Family Tree Maker. Use that for the keyword and you can access the site. Mine is #248, Marriage Index: Alabama, 1800-1900. I enjoyed helping those that I have helped already but the response was over-whelming!! I'm so sorry! Sara
