Hi, list I posted the information below and through the kind auspices of Caroline<carmarhal@yahoo,com>, the mystery is solved. There was either a typo in the book, CHILTON COUNTY ALABAMA DEATHS or the original material was too poor for Cecil Little to read the name correcting. The name should be: Eliza B. THAMES HARRELL, daughter of J. W. and Elizabeth THAMES. Again, thank you Caroline. Irma J. Roy Can anyone on this list tell me about this person, Eliza B. THOMAS? The information I have is: From CEMETERIES OF CHILTON - Rocky Mount Methodist Church Cemetery HARRELL, Eliza B. 1857-2-18 1914-10-20 W/J. T. Harrell John Thomas 1852-6-6 1931-8-28 From the book, CHILTON COUNTY ALABAMA DEATHS, compiled by Cecil Little, page 110, #916 "HARRELL, Eliza, died 10-20-1914, 12:30 P.M., born Ala., White Female, Housewife, Age 58 yr., 1 mo., 20 da., Married, Parents, J. W. and Elizabeth THOMAS, born Ala., Beat 12, Bright's Disease, Rocky Mount Cemetery, Dr. J. M. B. Johnson."

HARREL Son M S W 5M AL Fa: GA Mo: AL I descend from the THOMAS family of Chilton County, mainly from Coopers and Verbena but my grandparents, William Newton THOMAS and Dennis Irene CORLEY moved to Jemison and had a farm about 5 miles out from the center of Jemison going West towards the Cahaba River. So far, I can't find a J. W. THOMAS that fits as the parent of this woman. Would appreciate any help. Thanks for your time, Irma J. Roy
