Looking for my Stewart line. I found a Lydia Stewart in a census on the internet Cherokee County, AL. 1850. Any Stewart's of Cherokee County, Al or any connected with this county or Jackson County, Alabama please contact me. I'd like to share the small bit of info I have.

Looking for my Great Grandmother's family. I believe that she could be the Lydia Stewart I found on the internet in Cherokeee County, Alabama 1850 census. Hoping this is her. I do not know her husbands name. I know of only one daughter Lydia had. Nancy Stewart b: abt 1838 or 1840 AL. Nancy married my grandfather Chapley Hampton b 1802 KY. One of their children was my grandfather Wade Hampton b: Nov. 1875 Jackson County, Alabama. I am searching for Nancy Stewart's family. Her mother's name is all I have other than they could be of Indian Blood? I do not have anything else to go on. Any help I'd appreciate. Thanks to anyone that can help me. I am hoping that someone can look up this census for me and tell me who is listed in the household with Lydia Stewart 1850 Cherokee Co. Alabama. Thanks again, Judy

Wayne, I may be badly mistaken, but I get the idea because you mention Mississippi and Marion County, Alabama, that you are talking about the town of Cherokee in Colbert County. That group is probably something like [email protected] This group is about Cherokee County, Alabama. Pardon me if I have misread you.

Yes, there is a web site for Cherokee Co. http://www.rootsweb.com/~alcherok/ And if it doesn't answer all your questions, at least it will guide you in the right direction. Keitha Kirk Weaver, Calhoun Co., AL

I have many questions about Cherokee County and would sure appreciate any info. Is there a query board and/or genealogical society (via Internet) for my correspondence? I live in Wilmington, NC though I grew up in Oxford (Calhoun Co.). My mother's relatives (Gowens/Murphys)lived in the Ball Play-Hokes Bluff area. Does Ft. Armstrong (from early settler days in then-Indian territory) correspond with Cedar Bluff today? If not, where would it be? How many villages/towns were "drowned" by Weiss Lake? I understand Turkeytown was almost totally covered except for a small area used now for ceremonies. Is there a museum in the area devoted largely to Indians and early Alabama history? I know John B. LaGarde museum is in Anniston but can't remember if it has an Indian focus. Is there a viable modern-day Indian presence in Alabama? I know that Ball Play was used for the game "lacrosse" by Cherokees (perhaps Creeks as well since the Coosa seemed to be the boundary for these 2 tribes). Is there a particularly flat field close to the river at Ball Play, perhaps with raised sides as for seating? Turkeytown was once the largest Cherokee town existant, probably with it being strung along the Coosa for many miles. Are there any current excavations in the area or recent archaeology finds? Here's hoping someone can answer my questions or point me in the right direction. Thanks so much. Carolyn Funderburk [email protected]
