Barry, Yes I believe that Chilton Co, Ala does maintain copies of marriage applications as far back as 1870. I recently looked up the application for marriage between my great-grandparents in 1898. The application did have some info on it that I didn't know. Marriage was between Nelson Edmon Atcheson & Minnie Bell Garner.

I have a copy of the marriage license of my g grandparents, dated Oct 25, 1879, from Chilton County. As you can imagine, it doesn't really tell a lot. I just finished reading a magazine article that mentioned marriage applications, that usually provide more information. Does anyone know if marriage applications exist for Chilton County that far back? It could break through a brick wall. Thanks for helping. Barry Fox Greenville, SC

Just a note to let you know that I have updated my website filled with Alabama genealogy information: http://huntsville.about.com/cs/genealogy1/index.htm If you have a personal website for your ALABAMA genealogy family and would like me to add it to the Personal WebPages section, please send me the URL and a short description. As long as you have a significant amount devoted to Alabama, I will consider including it. Good luck in your research! Jean Brandau huntsville2@home.com

I have two pictures that I would like to post for two reasons: 1) Thought someone else might enjoy them 2) Get some help in identifying who they are Both pictures are pre 1913. This is a group of Masons. The man on the far left is John Thomas Adams. I don't know who any of the others are. http://members.aol.com/btcmfox/masons.html This is a group of men who I believed worked on the railroad. The man with the "X" is James Franklin Adams. I think the man to his right might be the same John Thomas Adams as in the picture above. Again, I don't know any of the others. http://members.aol.com/btcmfox/men.html If anyone can help identify these men, it would be greatly appreciated. Barry

I am trying to send off for the death certificate for Mahala FULLER, who is my gg grandmother. She was living in Chilton County through 1910. Ancestry.com shows a death record for Mahala FULLER as 11/1917 in Jones County, AL. I can't find a Jones County! Is there some connection between Jones County and Chilton County? HELP! Barry Fox Greenville, SC

Chilton was originally Baker County but never Jones County. County formed as Baker about 1868. Name changed about 1870 to Chilton. Two things happened about the same time....Mr. Baker suspected of anther act of indiscretion, and popular Chilton died.

I would like to get additional information William Parker ADAMS who was living in Chilton county as of the 1900 census (Autauga county in 1880). According to LDS records, his wife was Mary Harrison (census records show England as a birth place). Their children were: Charle Clarence Bettie John W. J. Jesse J. female Oscar D. Walter Josephine H. Lillie M. William ADAMS may be the brother of my gg grandfather, John Thomas ADAMS. Thanks for your help. Barry Fox Greenville, SC

Looking for information on this couple, specifically Martha FULLER CHAMBERS. I believe she is my g grandmother's sister. I am trying to find out the year of death for Martha to see if a death certificate might exist showing her parent's names. George and Martha CHAMBERS lived in Chilton county at least through the 1900 census. Thanks for your help. Barry Fox Greenville, SC

Does anyone on these lists have ANY info on the subject PERRYs? I'm particularly interested in Mark PERRY and Thomas PERRY and any other PERRYs who were in that area in the 1820's and 1830's.

I have been trying to find out more information on the FULLER family of early AL, specifically the Middleton F. and Mahalia FULLER family, who I believe are my gg grandparents. This has been a brick wall for a number of years. As a part of my research, I have poured over the early census records of Baker, Bibb, Chilton, and Perry Counties where they lived. I have compiled this information into a simple website hoping it may spark some feedback from another researcher of this family. I also thought it might be useful to others who may not even be in my branch of Fullers. http://members.aol.com/btcmfox/fullerwebpage.html Happy hunting, and let me know if there are any connections. Barry Fox Greenville, SC

did you know they are buried at Stanton Community sometimes called Ebenezer Church cemetery? -- Thank you,Lynda "Genealogy: Chasing your own tale!

I'm wondering if he was related to the family of Thomas Howard who died in Lincoln Co.,Ga in 1830.

Eugenia, please let me know if you find this out? Many of my Jackson ancestors are buried a short distance away from Jackson's Chapel at New Harmony Primitive Baptist Cemetery. Are you and I related? Are you in the Seaborn Jasper Jackson, William Arnold Jackson line? Seaborn died about 1875 probably in Tallapoosa County. His son William died 1914 and is buried in New Harmony Primitive Baptist Cemetery. Please contact me!
