I'm researching MARY ANN COX, b. 3/30/1860 in Center, Cherokee County, AL, d. 12/5/1920, daughter of ANDREW W. COX, b. bet. 1830-1831. Anybody else working on these names? Does anybody know parents and siblings' names, birth, and death dates? I have information to share.

Travis; I was in Cherokee Co about 3 or 4 years ago doing some research. I bought a book at the Anniston Library with the 1860-70-80 Census Indices and the Mortality Schedules in it. I have also, in the past, had quite a lot of e-mail conversation with a lady that did quite a bit of research for others at the Anniston Library. Through these contacts I have a notion that the Library MIGHT have some publications on Cherokee County. Another source of information might be Mrs Frank Ross Stewart who has written extensively of Cherokee County. I may have an address for Mrs Stevens and an E-mail address for the library tucked away in my floppy archives and if I do I will post them. Also, a couple of days ago there was a posting, either in this list or the ALABAMA List stating that the Gadsden, AL library had a lot of information on Cherokee Co.

Thanks to all the kind people who replied to my request for information on research sources in northeast Alabama. Eleven people in all. Specifically John, Davie, Jerry, Merry Ann, Travis, Tricia, Herb, Doris, Jerry, Joyce and Mary Ann. Boice Burns

The Gadsden Library has a lot of information on Cherokee County or atleast they did a few months ago when I was there. Several books by Mrs. Stewart, Cemetery books and family histories. Census records for both GA & AL on Microfilm, Confederate records and Pension records. I found a lot on my families and try to make several trips per year. Happy Searching! Doris

The Gadsden Library has an extensive genealogy section and is a bit closer than the one in Anniston. If you'd like info on the hour, ect, e-mail me and I'll send whatever info you need! Tricia

Boyce, I have personally been to the Cherokee County library, and their chief resource that I can find nowhere else is the "Cherokee County Cemetery Book." Title should be self-explanatory--a listing of who occupies what cemetery. A sereies of Floyd County transcriptions by Shirley Kinney from Floyd County, Ga, are valuable also. Cherokee Co. Library has a few of these. Library here at Huntsville has more of them. Cherokee Co Lib. also has a book "Cherokee County, Alabama Marriage Records, books A, B, C, D, E, 3, F, G, and H through 1930." The records extend back to at least 1883. It is available from the Cherokee County Library, P.O. Box 550, Centre, AL 35960 for $25.00 postpaid. Though I have never been there, I would suggest calling Gadsden library to see if they have any Floyd Co. or Cherokee Co. stuff, and ask if they have the bound "Settlers of Northeast Alabama", published by the Northeast Alabama Genealogical Society, Gadsden, which has Cherokee Co. stuff as well. And check with the Rome library for their resources. I have been to neither of these. Let me remind you that a southern sliver, paralled to the present county line, of present-day Cherokee County used to lie in northern Benton County before the 1850's. It is present day Calhoun County. Benton and Calhoun records shouldn't be overlooked. I wouldn't recommend going out of the way, but if you're in Huntsville, check out the library's Heritage Room--almost a whole floor devoted to genealogical resources of all states, including census indexes and microfilm for most states.

Dear List Members, As part of my effort to track down my great grandfather, William Wood (unknown middle name, alas), who was apparently killed in a mining accident in the 1890's, I'm trying to see if I can locate school records of Myrtle Corrine, the older of his two children. Does anyone know where a young child would have attended school in Tecumseh Precinct #3 in the 1890's? Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide. --Mark in Mobile

Dear list, can anyone tell me where a farm boy would have attended school, ca. 1900, in Supervisor's District 7 of Cherokee County? Rick Sherman, Kensington, CA

Does anyone have a Frank N TANNER b 1860-1862, prob in NE AL? He was on the 1880 Cherokee Co., AL census in the household of Sarah Adeline TANNER presumably his mother and that is the only place his name has turned up. He was reported as "working in coaling". He may be the older brother of my ancestor John Thomas TANNER so I would like to find more on him if possible. Thanks, Patsy Davis -- -- http://home.earthlink.net/~davisdwd/ ICQ #15893205

My father's (Richard BATTLES) line has a tenuous connection to Noel or William. Here's *all* the Battles information we know right now: Ron (me) Richard Battles (b 1917 d 1999 m Catherine Carden 1935) Robert N Battles (b 1893 d unknown m Bessie Ashworth bef 1914) Richard James Battles (b 1866 d unknown m Rosa abt 1888) Franklin Battles (b 1832 d unknown m Sarah) William Battles (b 1780 ) And we also have a Battles research document called "Our Battles Heritage from England to Alabama" that outlines a connection to from our William to William Noel. at: http://www.lightpatch.com/genealogy/etoa/ As the page says, it's unproven, but I plan on contacting the author when I'm back in Mississippi later this year, to see if she has any documentation.

On 5 Oct 1882, Mary Frances (Molly) Golden married James A. Maddux in Cherokee County. They raised a large family, and moved West, to OR and CA, in about 1904. One of their children, John Luther (Jack) Maddux, became a very well known pioneer of commercial aviation. Can anyone help me to identify Molly's parents? They are not named on her death certificate, for which the informant was her daughter Lillian, who was born in Cherokee County in 1892. Molly was born on 28 June 1866, in Al, according to her death cert., but in GA, according to census records. The 1900, 1910, and 1920 census records all agree that her father was born in GA, and her mother in AL. Any help would be greatly appreciated by Rick Sherman, Kensington, CA

Sandy, There is a set of microfilm containing an index (for AL from 1908 forward) one can search for the vol and page number for the certificate. LDS has this set available for ordering to be used at their local libraries.A lot of the larger libraries have the index set (Huntsville, Gadsden, Birmingham, Wallace College are a few). Then one can order the microfilm to view the actual certificate from the LDS. Wallace College at Hanceville has a set of these microfilm. The info on the idex is useful when one has to order it from the AL Dept of Vital Statistics in Montgomery. If you use the index info (spelling, name, date, vol & pg, etc.) on your order, the chance of a "failure to find" certificate is reduced.

Hello all - I'm looking for a death record from 1932 for Cherokee County, and according to the County Clerk's office and the Health Department, those are not kept locally - they are at the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Montgomery. Does anyone know of a death record web site that might cover that time period before I try to contact Montgomery? (OK, so the speed of the internet has made me impatient!!). THANKS Sandy
