The Garner Family moved to Blount Co, AL in 1881 from Monroe Co, GA. William Morgan Garner CSA died in 1881 at Morris, AL. The Garners had some Parker friends in Monroe Co. Maybe a connection. After WM Garners death two Garners moved to Jemison. Another Garner moved to Montevallo. The Parkers lived near some of the Garners. Lula Garner is my relative so I will check my notes for the Parker information. Thanks for your information. My Elijah Garner, brother of Lula, later married Jaunita Barnes in TN so there were connections in TN. It seems GA, TN, and AL contained clusters of these families who kept in touch and visited. BW

Hello, I am looking for information on the James M. HOWARD line: James M. HOWARD (b. 1 Mar 1850 in Alabama - d. 16 Jun 1913 and buried in Pine Hill Cemetery, Thorsby, Alabama) m. 16 Sept 1873 (?-unsure of last digit) to Martha E. SHANNON (b. 30 Sep 1857 in Alabama - d. 1887 - 1888) Children: 1 - Mary Alberta HOWARD (b. 7 Dec 1875 in Alabama) 2 - Mahala Alice HOWARD (b. Dec 1878 in Tennessee) 3 - Wiley Alfred HOWARD (b. 13 Dec 1881 in Lorelta (?), Tennessee - d. 18 June 1950 in Birmingham, Alabama) (my great-grandfather) m. 20 Feb 1906 in Jemison, Chilton County, Alabama to Bertha May BUSBY (b. 22 May 1887 - d. 2 Apr 1926) (my great-grandmother) 4 - Minnie HOWARD (b. June 1887 in Alabama (?), m. to Joseph CARRIKER) After Martha's death, James HOWARD married Lula GARNER on 7 Aug 1888 in Garden City, Blount County, Alabama. The children from James' second marriage, all born in Alabama, were: 1 - Laura HOWARD (b. Jun 1887) 2 - Gordon HOWARD (b. Sep 1892) 3 - Ray HOWARD (b. Jul 1894) 4 - Fred HOWARD (b. Sep 1896) 5 - Daisy HOWARD (b. Aug 1898) 6 - Mary HOWARD (b. Apr 1900) (strange, because his first daughter from his first marriage was also Mary. Perhaps she died?) 7 - Martha HOWARD (b. 1902) 8 - Richard HOWARD (b. 1905) James and Martha appear with Mary and Mahala on the 1880 Census for Lawrence County, Tennessee. James and Lula, along with their children appear on the 1900 and 1910 Census for Jemison, Chilton County, Alabama. I found other information in a family Bible. In particular I am looking for: 1 - James HOWARD's parents 2 - Martha SHANNON's parents 3 - Martha SHANNON's date and location of death. I believe that it was probably in Blount County. I'm looking for any information that will help! Thanks!! Best Regards, Mark F.

Hello everyone, I have recently activated Obit and Bios boards for Chilton Co.,Al. They are similar to the query format I use but are for Obituary and Biography type info. I have transcribed 2 obits to that board for Louisa Dennis you can see at http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/ChiltonObits I hope to post at least one biography to that board in the coming week. This is an excellent place to post detailed info on ancestors in more detail than you normally would on queries. These pages can also be found by the national search engine for GenConnect. I hope to see some of you take advantage of this to share info on your ancestors, however I will edit and/or delete anything that should be posted to the query page instead. Thanks, -- David Dennis dddennis@concentric.net,http://www.concentric.net/~Dddennis/surnames.htm Chilton County UsGenWeb page,http://www.concentric.net/~Dddennis/chilton.htm listowner for ALCHILTO-L mailing list for Chilton and surrounding counties listowner for SWORDS-L mailing list

Hello all, I've been quiet lately, I've been concentrating on getting organized. Ha the more organized I get the more info I have to organize. It seems I stay at least ONE step behind. Lately I have been doing some research on CSA records and seem to be getting more on Joel Dennis than anyone else. I would like to hear from his desendants. Do you have info on the Dennis Paint and Hardware Co. in Montgomery? Is there really family bible info on him as I've heard but not seen? I will be glad to share what I have but would like to hear from some of his desendants (again) as I don't want to spend time duplicating research. I should be in GA for a week of research a week from Tuesday and one of the things I will be looking into is that Joel's mother might be a dau. of James Swords. I am of course also interested in hearing from researcher's on Teresa Dennis Jone's and Samuel J. Dennis or any other desendant of Jacob and Elizabeth Dennis. -- David Dennis dddennis@concentric.net,http://www.concentric.net/~Dddennis/surnames.htm Chilton County UsGenWeb page,http://www.concentric.net/~Dddennis/chilton.htm listowner for ALCHILTO-L mailing list for Chilton and surrounding counties listowner for SWORDS-L mailing list

Hi Carol, Thank-you for all the information that you have sent me. I have a copy now of the 1860 Bibb/Chilton census too but my L.J. Martin isn't on it as you can see!!

And WHERE is John Y. who would be 13 - Granville who would be 10 or 11 ( children by Elizabeth) And AGAIN WHERE IS MY L J MARTIN ON THE 1860 CENSUS! I believe these two people had 1 child a year!!

Hi Carol, What a RELIEF I thought I was the only one INSANE in my family; of course I am not countings my older half-sister who VERY ONE knows is NUTS! And I think this same grandfather ;Jesse S. Martin married Foshee's maybe sisters. The second one was Didemiah Elizabeth Foshee on Dec 23, 1856; I think this is my g-g-grandmother and g-g-grandfather. Thank-you for the 1850 census of Bibb County. Are they living in Maplesville? I passed this on to my cousins because on my father's mother side ( the Boone side ); there are Goodwin/Godwin by marriage. I didn't think there could be on my father's side. And right now I hope Not!.

Frank, I think taht the Jesse S. martin's that you have sent me is the same person with two different wives. Because the some of the children living with them in 1860 COULDN'T be Didemiah E Foshee Martin when they were married Dec 23 1856. Sarah is living with them in 1860 age 9 years ; William 7 years; Martha 10 years and James 12 years. These children are probably from the first marriage.

Frank, Thank-you -Thank-you ! The second marriage is MINE! MARTIN, Jesse S to FOSHEE, Didemiah E Dec 23 1856. She is D E Martin age 38? keeping house born in Al on the 1870 Baker/Chilton County Chestnut Creek. She is just Elizabeth on the 1860 census Bibb/Chilton Maplesville. I think these are the parents to my Larcenia Martin Vinson/Vincent. The first marriage of the Jesse S. martin could also be mine because he could have been married before. He would have been about 20 years old. (MARTIN, Jesse S to FOSHEE, Sarah Oct 26 184.)

Elizabeth, At this URL http://www.rootsweb.com/~aljeffer/bibb/marriage.html which is a link from Tracking Your Roots there are two marriages in Bibb County MARTIN to FOSHEE. Looks like the first one could be an"Elizabeth". MARTIN, Jesse S to FOSHEE, Didemiah E Dec 23 1856 MARTIN, Jesse S to FOSHEE, Sarah Oct 26 1841 Hope this helps some.

Your counties and the name Smitherman caught my eye. A Smitherman was the second husband of a kinswoman of mine from the area. VAUBIE MAUDE HARRELL married a Smitherman prob. in the 1940s. She is the dau. of NEAL HUTCHINSON HARRELL and ETHEL KING and the grand dau of BUD HARRELL and ALICE "MAUDE" FAULKNER. Maude was the daughter of SAM H. FAULKNER and JULIA MALLORY.(first husband was Dr. Nathan Clark) Sam and Julia's place was near Billingsley and right on the line between Autauga and Chilton Cos.

Hi Everyone, I think that Betty Collins may have found my family of Martins; but I still need help! Betty found a J.S. Martin on the 1870 census who may be my g-g-grandfather. Yesterday I went to the library and sure enough he was on the 1870 Baker/Chilton Census ; living in Chestnut Creek; with daughter L. J. Martin 12 years old. ( Right age for my Larcenia and right area to meet my Obediah Vincent/Vinson.) Living in the house is a M. F. Foshee age 18; female and W.E. Foshee age 15; male. Both are white. Also a Bill Bass age 25 ; male who is black and a farm laborer. Next door is another Foshee family ; this family is black. On the other side is the Smithermans- 2 houses. While I was at the library; I again found this same J.S. Martin on the 1860 Bibb/Chilton Census; wife Elizabeth. This time the daughter L. J . wasn't living in the house; but had several children. And they again were living next door to a Foshee family. J.W Foshee age 48 farmer and his wife Sarah; with several children. The two census that I got; are hard to read and did not print well enough to read all names. I would like to know if anyone has a connection to this Foshee family or the Martins. I have been wondering if this Martin's wife Elizabeth maiden name isn't Foshee. Any help on this would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!! Thank-you for your time.
