Hello listers, Someone on the Culman Co. list said that the Cleburne Co. Court House threw out some of the old records a few years ago - even old marriage records. Anyone know about this? Surely they didn't just trash them instead of donate them to the library! Originals are priceless to a genealogist! Cathy Pickard Descendant of James M. Batson b. 1825 GA and Mary Ann Willis, b. 1822 GA, m. 1844 GA, on the 1880 Cleburne Co. AL Census next to their sons, Eli Batson and J.R. Batson with his son Joel, b. 1878. I descend through JR and Joel. They moved to Calhoun Co. - Rabbittown/White Plains area.
