    2. I don't know if Maxine Jowers is part of the ALCLARKE-L list or not, but she has more information on this family. I know she has written a book on the family, but I have never seen it. I'd LOVE to have a copy. Patti

    1. Fontaine/Poole Family
    2. Sherry Caven
    3. Nancy: Thank you so much for the look-ups. I know that must be awfully time-consuming and you were so generous to do that for all of us!! Jackie: I do have a copy of Ball's book on Clarke County and it has helped tremendously. Thank you for offering to help me with that. I guess I'm at the point now where I just need to go back to Clarke County this summer and spend some more time at the Courthouse. My major brick wall right now is Sarah Poole. I thought she was part of the Charles Poole family, but apparently that isn't true. Please let me know if you run across anything! Thanks! Wanda: It's so good to connect with you! I've admired your work with the Fontaine/ Drinkard families for some time now and have, several times, started to try to contact you. We are related on both the Fontaine and Drinkard sides, I believe. You were right about Elizabeth Garnett Pearson's death date. I just pulled the photograph of their cemetery marker, and it DOES show her death year as 1864. Sorry about that. Her family tree is certainly interesting! Since she came from Wilkes County, GA -- which is right down the road-- I'd like to find out more about how she came to be in Alabama. I've been trying to determine: (1) if any of Aaron Terrell's children's family (not counting the descendants of Emma, my great-grandmother, who married Francis Marion Drinkard), are around. They would be Cahoons, Goodwins, or Masons. Went to the Clarke County courthouse and found a copy of A.T.'s will. Fannie, Emma's sister, was deceased at the time of the will (1900). She was mentioned as "the deceased Fannie Elizabeth King" in the will and on her tombstone as "Fannie, wife of J.C. Cahoon" in 1897. Can't quite get a grip on that. (2) AND, who was Sarah Poole's parents? I thought she was a sister of Charles and Lycurgus Poole, but one of their descendants, who has done their family tree, could find no trace of her on that side. Anyway, would love any help I can get! I'd be glad to share any information I have on Emma Fontaine Drinkard's descendants, if anyone is interested. Mickey Mathis: If this is the Mickey Mathis who was kind enough (some time ago) to send me a DRINKARD GEDCOM which my computer inhaled, digested, and stored in some deep, dark, inaccessible purgatory file somewhere until the hard drive died and everything went quietly way....)? I would love to hear from you again! I.O.U. Thanks to all the ALCLARKE listers! Sherry Caven Athens, GA

    2. Hi Ron, I am goint to jump in here and add that the book, "Clarke County and Its Surroundings" by T.H. Ball mentions a Mrs. Coxwell and W. W. Rotch on p. 719 in regards to their ownership of land from a plantation called "The Rocks". Ball wrote about this in March of 1881. There is also a mention of Charles Poole of Choctaw Corner on p. 497. Let me know if you do not have access to this book and I will do a look up for you. Jackie Feldman Sammamish, WA

    2. Have gone back and looked at my copies of the Walker wills of Clarke co. only to realize I have only the clerks` transcription and recording of the will which does not have the original signatures of witnesses, bondsmen etc. does Clarke Co. still have the wills for those early yrs. i.e. 1832 , 1845 etc.? It just ocurred to me tnat I need to compare the signature and or seals of Abraham Walker of Clarke Co. Al. and Davidson Co and Williamson Co. Tenn. to see if it might indicate that they are indeed the same Abraham Walker, born 1773 in N.C or S.C. Am enjoying all the recent activity on the List. Sue in No. Al.
