Shall I presume you found the Methodist Archives? Mary Ann Pickard is truly a Godsend, and I was about to suggest that you make sure and check the obits from the Alabama Christian Advocate for all the family members, not just the minister. Their obits are among the most informative around.

HI Jim, Thanks. I have information on some of these names that you have given me. Joseph Roper was the brother of John Thompson Roper, who was born in 1810. I went to the library at Huntingdon College, and they had a slew of information on John Thompson Roper, Joesph Roper, and their father John Roper. Thank You for the information, if I can be of some assistance let me know.

Regarding your Roper relatives, if you will call me, Mike Jackson, at 281-970-3533 after 7 PM CST, M-F, I will see if either of these people show in the Chilton County Cemetery Index. If they are buried in the county, their names will be in the index (unless they were buried in unmarked graves, of course).

Hi, I am looking for information on a John Thompson Roper, a Methodist Minister who died and was buried in Chilton County. He was born in Mecklenburg Co, North Carolina in 1810, and moved to AL in around the 1830s or 40s. If you have any information on this person or a Caroline Roper, who was born in the 1840s , I would be much obliged if you would share this information. Sincerely, Brandon Wallace

Brandon, I couldn't find a John Thompson Roper. However, I did find the following in the 1850 Census of Lowndes County: Joseph F. Roper 42 ME Clergyman NC Louisa P. " 38 TN William R. " 15 AL Rachael E. " 12 AL Joseph F. " 1 AL Are you sure about the name? This seems like too much of a coincidence. This Roper would have been born in NC in 1807/1808 and from the ages of these children, he was in AL by the mid-1830s.

Hello everyone. Due to several request's recently I've finally gotten around to creating a web page for links to Chilton related families. I know of several that are not included yet. If you have a family web page that you would like to see included please send the the URL even if you've sent one before. The 1880 census is going well with Beat 3 being transcribed by Christine Bonoyer and about the first half of Beat 4 being proofed by Jim and Donna Nix while I'm working on transcribing the last half. Beat 7 still needs someone to transcribe it, volunters welcomed. I will be starting on Beat 5 which is twice as large as any of the others as soon as I can get to Georgia to pick up a microfilm reader I bought. It is too difficult to read to transcribe from print copies. If anyone has something they would like to see posted on the internet of historical or genealogical interest please email me. Thanks, David Dennis David Dennis, Proud Rootsweb Donor

I wanted to be sure I thanked everyone who responded to my question on the John Rasberry/ Sarah Goodgame marraige. The large number of responses may be due to the many desendants of theirs. >From Cecil Little's book, "Chilton County, ALABAMA, Index to Probate Court Records,Abstracts of County Newspapers, County Confederate Veterans, Book 1, 1868-1924", which has been reprinted recently. page 116, The Chilton Veiw (newspaper), 1889, issue of 4-11-1889: Fruitful Citizens: John Goodgame formerly of the Mulberry Community now of the Jumbo Community and his wife are in advanced age, he is 92 and she is 89, they have 259 living desendant's. The ages quoted are not in sync with my other info but I thought it interesting. They both died soon after the article. Another ancestor of mine Elijah Miears is in the same issue; "Elijah Miears born 1808 is still living" David Dennis David Dennis, Proud Roosweb Donor

Hi Betty. I hope to meet you someday but the Chilton Historical Soc. always seems to meet on days I'm working.

Hi List: I am looking for people with the name of COVEY. I know part of our family went to Alabama but my information is skimpy. Thanks in advance. Bill Covey Creator of Ol' Tubby Joe Stottlemeyer Author of: Watson Is Where It Wuz http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Station/3265/Welcome.html

David, Nancy Ann Amanda Bean (1829 - 20 March 1902) was born in Butts Co., GA, the daughter of Wiley Jackson Bean and Julia Ann Crew. She married 16 August 1849 in Coosa Co., AL, William "Bill" Murrah (1827 - ). He was born in Coosa Co., AL, (parents unknown). He died of a fever in Mississippi, date unknown. She died during an epidemic in Mississippi; no further information. According to Alfred P. Murrah’s biography, they died in Mississippi shortly after the Civil War. William Murrah was a witness for Julia Ann Crew in application for bounty land, July 1856. Sources: Marriage of William Murray to Nancy Ann Amanda Bean, Coosa Co., AL Marr. Bk. B, p. 61; McGalliard, Marriage Records of Coosa County, Alabama 1834-1865 (Weogufka, AL: McGalliard, 1972), p. 93. Collins/ Bean family traditions passed to compiler by Akins Irving Collins. Information of Peggy Murrah in 1997 and given to compiler by Marilyn Bean Jones. Creek War Bounty Land Records for Wiley J. Bean. Copy in possession of compiler. Hope this can be of some little help. I would like to hear more about this couple. Betty Collins Note change of email address from EHGCollins@aol.com to hgcejc@earthlink.net

Dennis, The Goodgame/Rasberry marriage record you were asking about was not listed in the books. I believe there are quite a few in Bibb county that were not listed, or else they were in the book that was lost. It is, however, among the loose marriage records filed in the Probate office. I have a copy of the one you are looking for. John Goodgame to Sally Rasberry, 14 Feb 1822 by Joseph W. Jones, J.P. Consent of Thomas Rasberry, 5 Feb 1822, for his daughter. On the outside of the document it said, "The within executed the fourteenth of February 1822. [signed] Joseph W. Jones, J.P." Betty Collins Please note change of email address from EHGCollins@aol.com to hgcejc@earthlink.net.

The date of the marriage of John Goodgame to Sarah Rasberry was Feb 14, 1822 Bibb Cty source Ancestry.com but in my file I have Feb 5, 1822 and wonder if Feb 14 is date of return.
