Hi Clyde: You asked >> ...had many relatives in Clarke Cnty during time mentioned (1862 -1866). Could you look up David Lawson Stringer b. 1853 and Alexander J.S. Stringer (David's Father, and a minister)? << I am sorry to report that I did not find any reference to STRINGER. However, keep in mind that I transcribed less than half of the material on the microfilm reel that can be borrowed (via interlibrary loan) from the Alabama Archives. So there is still a chance that you will find something there. Best regards, Nancy G. of Granite Springs, NY
