Thanks Joel: I've been there, kinda small, and it's not open too often, but I might have to resort to that if I can't get to the San Antonio, TX library pretty soon. They are supposed to have a wonderful collection onhand. Much better than waiting three weeks for something to be ordered. Appreciate it--- Leslie Hill

Joel, I only have one Martin so far...it is Malicia Martin, who married Moses McCullough in Shelby Co. AL 1856. After that date, both seem to disappear. I am checking all counties around Shelby Co..looking for both. Moses McCullough was my Great x3 grandfather, from Scotland. Thanks, Arlene

I see you have a MARTIN line from the Chilton County Alabama area. I have a Martin Line also that I am working on from the same area. Send me a few names we may make a connection. thanks Joel T. Ross............

Do you have this census?

Hi Joel: I'm afraid I don't live in any city, live in a small town in TX called Lockhart. It's about 30 miles south of Austin. They don't have this "new" a census at out State Archives, 1870 is about it. Thanks, Leslie Hill

Chunda, Thanks for the information. I will put it in my Crankfield-Lawhorn file, and send you anything that seems to connect with your line. Arlene AHamptonResearch@aol.com Researching: Crankfield, Lawhorn, McGraw, McCullough, McCullers, Mount, Martin, Bottoms, Farabee, Byars, James. Also: Hampton, Blythe, Barnes, Akins, Chastain, Clayton, Murphree/Murphrey, Dempsey, Jarrett, Coleman, Cunningham.

Chunda, I am researching the Lawhorn's of Blythewood SC. Do you know if any of your line were in that area? That is in Richland Co. SC. Thanks, Arlene Hampton

What city do you live in, I might be able to help?

Does anyone have easy access to the 1900 Chilton Co census? My great-grandmother and ggrandfather were born, raised, and married in Chilton Co. His name was William C. Atkinson, hers Nora G. Poole Atkinson. If alive and there in 1900, he would have been about age 33, she in her late 20's. If Wm. had died, Nora might have been living with or near her father, Abner C. Poole. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Don't live near a large library, so it's been hard to do much searching. Thanks, Leslie Hill LHill42731@aol.com

I have added to Obituary Central http://www.obitcentral.com a search engine that will allow keyword searches through all of the Chilton Co. obits online at the Clanton Advertiser website. The URL is http://www.obitcentral.com/obitsearch/counties/al-chilton.htm I hope this helps someone find a surname or two.

Hi Pat. I'm afraid the way I read the map notes, "R.R. chartered & proposed" in brown, it appears that the R.R. was still in the planning stages in 1839. The best source I know of for this type info is; AUTHOR Southerland, Henry deLeon. TITLE The Federal Road through Georgia, the Creek Nation, and Alabama, 1806-1836 / Henry deLeon Southerland, Jr., and Jerry Elijah Brown ; maps by Charles Jefferson Hiers. PUBLISHER Tuscaloosa : University of Alabama Press, c1989. The Federal Road was the earliest road into the area fit for wagons and was the main route. It was guarded and had forts along it. It ran a similar route to the railroad into Montgomery and beyond. I saw this one when I searched for the ciatation above. I haven't seen the book but it looks interesting also. TITLE The very worst road : travellers' accounts of crossing Alabama's Old Creek Indian territory, 1820-1847 / compiled by Jeffrey C. Benton.

Hello list -- I have spent quite a bit of time wondering how my Billingsley ancestors (Clement and Cynthia/Rebecca), with their many, many children of several generations, migrated from Stafford Co., Virginia, to Autauga Co., Alabama, in the early 1830s. At my most romantic, I pictured them traveling in wagons and walking, over a number of years. I especially wondered how the women handled the feeding, clothing, and cleaning of their families (since I assume they had primary responsibility for those tasks). Well, through a wonderful map a person on the Cuba list discovered, I've just learned that, according to an 1839 map, the Georgia railroad connected Stafford Co. to Montgomery, AL. So, it seems quite possible that the whole passel of them trekked to Alabama by train! Does anyone have good information on the usual forms of migration from the mid-Atlantic states to Alabama in the 1830s (motivated in part, I assume, by the availability of land)? Here's the link for the map, at the Library of Congress "American Memory page: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/ammemhome.html At the home page, click "Collection Finder," then "Maps" from the right-hand menu. Scroll down and click "Railroad maps, 1828-1900," then "Browse by Geographic Location," then "Southern States," then "United States - Southern States [1839]." Other selections back at the "Maps" page also have interesting maps. Pat, in Texas

Hello List My most wanted ancestors are the parents of Henry W. McBride b July 15 1801 PA d May 3 1870 AL. He is buried in the Colee Cemetery in Autauga Co.,AL. Marriage records of Dallas Co.,AL, February 03,1842 lists Henry McBride b PA married Rachael F. Tommer or (Tommee ) born in GA. Henry is found on the 1850 census of Dallas Co.,AL 1860 Census of Bibb Co., AL and then I find him on the 1870 Mortality Schedule for Baker Co.,AL There is no Baker Co.now but was made into Chilton Co. which is next door to Autauga Co. where he is buried at Colee Cemetery Henry McBride 70 W M b PA. d May, was a farmer died of Pneumonia. It has just struck me that I dont have them on any 1870 Census,guess I will have to search Baker and Autauga for Rachel McBride and boys. 1880 Census of Autauga Co., Rachel the widow of Henry W. McBride is living with her son Hiram Weaver McBride and wife Sarah. Henry W. McBride was 41 years old when he married Rachel and she was 21 years old. You would think by the age of 41 he would have been married before and had other children!? What brought him from PA to AL ? Was he living in Baker Co.,Al at his death or was he visiting Family there? Some believe he is the son of Archibald Mc Bride b Penn. or of Ulster, Ireland and Agnes Or Nancy Elliot b Penn. or of Ulster, Ireland. These McBride or of Allegheny County, PA. If Henry W. McBride is the son of Archibald McBride then Henry would have had 1st wife Lylie, 2nd wife Jane Elliot This could answer my question of his being so much older than Rachel when they married. Our Henry W.McBride had 3 sons names Charles Henry, A. James ,and Hiram Weaver ,which is our line who came to Texas. Thank You Much Jo McBride djm@etex.net
