Tim, Is there anything on the Dormans in the book? My Dormans were in Chambers County also. I understand they lived near Lanett. Were there from the 1840s until the 1900s. Wiley Dorman and his (2nd) wife, Elmina Jones, moved from Georgia (Harris, Troup counties) to Chambers and raised their children and grandchildren there. Wiley's first wife was Martha Newberry, who also lived in Georgia in the 1820s-1830s. Wiley and Martha were in Harris Co., GA in the 1830 census. They had 4 children: 1. Green Washington Dorman (b. 1820) who married Sarah Head and moved to Arkansas. 2. James Monroe Dorman )b. 1824) who married Martha Sherard and moved to Louisiana. 3. Sarah Ann Dorman (b. 1827) who married William Wilson and remained in Chambers county. 4. Susan Dorman (b. 1830) who married Seaborn May and also moved to Arkansas. Martha died between 1830 (in the census) and 1832 when Wiley remarried Elmina Jones in Troup County and they moved to Chambers and lived near Wiley's sister, Mary Elizabeth Dorman, who married Jeff Atkins. Wiley and Elmina had 11 children, all of whom were in Chambers County at some time: 5. Nancy Caroline Dorman (b. 1832) m. James M. Higgins 6. Allen Dorman (b. 1835) m. Aurilla Vickers. (Allen is my paternal GG grandfather) 7. Jessee Fincher Dorman (b. 1837) m. Martha Ann Adeline Abernathy ( a descendant of the Boyds of Meriwether Co., GA who are my maternal ancestors) 8. Wiley Monroe Dorman (b. 1840) who died in the Civil War. To my knowledge, he never married. 9. William Leonard Dorman (b. 1842) m. Laura Beecher Montague Moss 10. Sanford Mitchell Dorman (b. 1844, d. 1844) who was the first person buried in the Dorman family cemetery. 11. Edna Ann Dorman (b. 1848) m. (Capt.) John W. Bonner 12. Henry Rudolph Dorman (b. 1850) m. Pyrene C. Webb 13. Elmina Catherine Dorman (b. 1852) m. (Capt.) Henry Gaylord 14. Louisa Cordelia Dorman (b. 1854) m. Pleasant Hill (Pleas) Lawson 15. Leander (Wiley's will says "Lee Andru") Montgomery Dorman (b. 1856) who died mysteriously in Arkansas I have quite a bit of information on the family already, but always welcome more. Would love to hear from any who are connected to this family. Judy Kilgore Newnan, GA

Smallwood is listed 6 times in the index Sims is listed 27 times Sims Cemetary is listed 3 times Sims Metal works is listed once Mitchell is listed 19 times I would look these up for you and tell you what they are about, but at the present time I am having migraine related eye trouble and can barely read what I have just given you. I will try at a later time. Uncle George's address is: Chambers County HBC c/o George C Zachry 2603 13th Avenue Valley, AL 36854 ($69.75 includes shipping) Seems I remember he charged me less since out of state people do not have to pay Alabama sales tax on it. Might want to check with him on exact price first. or Send your check, payable to Heritage of Chambers Co., to: Chambers Co. Library/Cobb Memorial Archives 3419 20th Avenue Valley, AL 36854 (334)768-2161 $69.75 includes shipping. Again I recommend contacting them first to see if price is current.

The writer is my Uncle George and he usually has some copies of the "Heritage of Chambers County" on hand. I beleive he was the head of the committee in chage of it's publication. He's lives on 20th Ave. in Valley. They can be obtained from him (I can look up complete address if interested) or the Cobb Library in West Point (again, I can look address up.) The co-writer Elizabeth (Mrs. Matthew) McKinney was his daughter and my closest paternal 1st cousin. I loved her so much. She passed away from cancer at a young age on Thanksgiving Day 1998.

Another option would be to see if your local library can get the book via interlibrary loan. It would be cheaper to spend $10 or so than the $40 or so for the real thing.

Valerie, Please let me know if you post it, and if you don't I would love to have a copy of it. George H. Huguley was a friend of my GG Grandfather George W. Murphy and had him come from MD to oversee the construction and running of Shawmut Mill. My Uncle George Zachry (married Valma Kemp) is the grandson of Eppie Huguley (1865-1940) so he'd be some kin to your husband. My only Lanier connection is I was born in the George H Lanier Hospital in Langdale. Don't count for much does it?

Hi All -- I have a poor quality xerox of a one of those pamplet postcards -- the kind that fold close. The cover says: The Six Textile Towns of the Chattahoochee Valley RIVER VIEW, ALA. FAIRFAX, ALA. LANGDALE, ALA. SHAWMUT, ALA. LANETT, ALA. WEST POINT, GA. Yes, River View is two words. It looks like the copywrite date of the postcard is 1949 -- if I am rembering how to properly read Roman numerals which are MCMXLIX. There is a 7 paragraph write up which I can transcribe and post the Chambers Co Archives if any one thinks that would be appropriate. My husband is a direct descandant of the early leaders of the Valley textile industry -- George Huguley and his 2nd wife, Gabrella (Arabella) Alice Dallis. Their daughter, Ada Alice Huguley married Lafayette Lanier, Sr., son of Reuben Lanier & Arabella Elizabeth Crockett. George Huguley Lanier, son of Lafayette & Ada Alice, was my husband's Great-grandfather. My husband was raised in here in California, so for the most he is learning more about his family through myresearch efforts than personal contact. Thankfully, he still has a Great-Aunt living in Lanett that we keep in contact with and visit when we make it to Georgia. She graciously shares with us many family stories and also sends photos, newspaper clippings, etc. as she finds them. Valerie Freeman Tustin, California

I have talked with Mr. Zachry when I was researching a church that used to be in Lanett. Will check and see if I can find what he told me. delilah evans ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Kemp" <tkemp@mindspring.com> To: <ALCHAMBE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 9:31 PM Subject: Re: [ALCHAMBE-L] Riverview, AL > If anyone ever sets up a page like that for Shawmut please let me know. > I have very little information on early mill history there, yet my gg > grandfather George W.

George, If you think there is enough information to set up a site just for Shawmutt, I'll be happy to do so. Anything you have now could be shared for Chambers Co. but if you have enough information to start a site just for Shawmutt then I'll be very happy to work with you and any other contributors to put such a site online.

I also want to point out (since I haven't seen it posted here) that Jim Leak is also running a site for the Leak Brown descendants at http://www.leakbrown.org/ specifically for the descendants of Doss Samuel Leak, Sr. and Mary Alice Brown. Debra Crosby
