Dear Walt The only reference I can find in my books for the name Clanahan is one in the marriage book 1833-1866 for a Josephine Clanahan who married a Lewis Wilson 12-20-1865 and she married at the residence of an R.A. Clanahan. Elizabeth Clanahan married C.J. Slaughter 12-21-1865 at the residense of Mrs. Clanahan. William H. Clanahan married Rosilla Vernon 10-25-1845. There also a listing in two places in the Heritage Book both are referring to William H. and his marriage to Rosilla and her second marriage.

Thanks a lot for the information, Linda. It may very well come in handy one day. At present, however, I think my Clanahan family must have left Chambers and moved to Coosa County, AL sometime before 1840. The William H. CLANAHAN who married Rosilla VERNON in 1845 sounds interesting though. Robert and Catherine CLANAHAN (my third great grandparents) had two older sons, one or both of whom may have remained in Chambers County. Unfortunately, however, I do not know their names. At any rate, thanks for the information. Every little bit helps.

Have you checked Heritage Quest and Ancestry at your local university, or FH Library? Usually you can use them without any cost there. I work at BYU FHL 2 days a week and I can access all census that are available. I prefer HEritage Quest but not all areon either site. Helene

Helene- Thanks for your responses. I do believe that John Guthrie in 1840 Chambers Co. links to my Benjamin (in 1842 Chambers Co. tax book) and also to the James M. Guthrie (who m. Delila Guthrie in Chambers Co. 1843) but I keep going in circles. Even more coincidences: 6 Oct 1843 Chambers Co. AL James M. GUTHREY made application for marriage license to marry Delila E. F. GUTHREY (over age of 18) . Bond by James M. GUTHREY and Robert J. SHAW. A Robert SHAW age 20-30 lives 2 houses from the mysterious John Guthrie in 1840 Chambers Co. AL census. Also I wonder if this John is the same (he lives next to two of Benjamin Guthrie's sons i.e. William H. and Rev. James E.!! 1850 Tallapoosa Co. AL census- John Guthrew in house 1178 next to HH1177 James Guthrew and HH1180 William Guthrew . John age 27 Farmer $200 b. GA; Jane 26 GA; Joshua 17 GA; Thomas 13 GA (likely my ancestor Thomas Guthrie b. July 1836 and believed son of Benjamin) ; Rosbery (female) 12 GA; Rebecca 10 GA; Caroline 8 GA; William 7 AL; Harville 6 AL. It is possible that the children in this home were a combination of sons/daughters and siblings.

Perhaps sale is in Index under another Letter i.e. an Administrator's name. 1840 Cannot locate Benjamin Guthrie in AL or GA census 1842- Benjamin is listed in the 1842 Chambers Co.

Shows "72" under Land which I assume to be # of acres. (He is the only GUTHREY in the 1842 book, though a few names were missing due to deteriorated and ripped pages)

I put "Benjamin Guthrie" with the quotes in google.com and there is a lot of material to look at. Good luck.

Christine, Quote from the Chambers Heritage Book "Cussetta Baptist Church" In 1832, there were several families in and arund Cusseta and they desire a church. On April 18, 1835, with the aid of three Baptist ministers of Georgia, seven persons holding letters from Baptist hurches met at the home of James Taylor, Sr.. These seven persons were constituted in to a church alled Bethesda. Elder Francis Calloway served the church until Bethesda got a regular pastoron July 18, 1835............. It is now called Cusseta Baptist Church. Any help?

In the Heritage of Chambers County Book there is an article about Cusseta Baptist Church was originally Bethesda and was later changed to Cusseta after several of the original founders left and the chuch moved closer to Cusseta.
