All great points Pat. New at the Franklin county archives are the Leighton Newspaper on microfilm. Starting about 1890's also. The volunteers of the Franklin county archives have finished the project to make an index?for the obits that were in our papers. Index is available from 1899 to 2008 for the Franklin county times. Except for some issues that were missing from the papers, plus there are no microfilmed copies of the 1920-1929 except a couple of months. The Red Bay News was also indexed and available from 1964-2008. The Franklin Citizen Times 1954-1964 also was indexed. Hope this information is of help to anyone researching the area of Franklin and Colbert Counties.

With the exception of the year that Colbert reverted to Franklin [the parent county] all records at Colbert are intact. A good source for local information is the early newspapers. Again, don't overlook the neighboring counties. For instance, In many cases, the Florence papers that have survived have news about neighboring counties. Unfortunately, the farther back in time, the less likely personal information will be found and even if found, if they were not well-known it probably consists of only one or two lines.

It's important to understand the 'flavor of the times' when doing research, and newspapers are one of the best sources for that. Also, don't overlook the ads! If your ancestor was not a farmer, he may have an ad publicizing his business or service. Is he selling his property? Is there a court ordered publication for non-resident heirs? Did the editor have a column in which he wrote about people that had 'come by' the newspaper office or that he had seen elsewhere? Is there a column reporting letters left at the post office? Are there columns for communities within the county? These papers are not lengthy - usually about 4 - 8 pages - and were published weekly so it doesn't take long to go through a whole year.

Good Morning Folks, For those of you who remarked about the recent message that came through the list it is a rare occasion when this happens as the filters are VERY good about stopping this kind of junk PROVIDED they try to post directly to the list which is subscription controlled. This particular message was posted on the boards which are not subscription controlled. The boards are 'gatewayed' so that a post there will also be sent to the list, and this particular message was sent through from the boards. I know it is aggravating, but just treat it as junk and use the delete ey - don't reply to either the person or the list. Let's get back to what we LIKE - GENEALOGY and HISTORY! Pat Pat M.

THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW The LETTER FOR IT TO WORK!!!! THIS IS NOT A PYRAMID SCAM!! : I came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! ...here's how! PayPal verifies that this $6 investment program is 100% legal and is a big hit this year see their note below or ask them directly... For a simple investment of 15-30 minutes and just $6, it is 100% worth it to make thousands so quickly. This is not another scam that takes lots of your hard earned money; this is a no risk investment that will make you thousands of dollars very easily and quickly. >From PayPal: "Dear Member, it has come to our attention that there is a payPal scheme floating around at the moment you may have heard or seen the $6 scheme. You may have even taken part in it well we have been asked a lot of questions about this scheme the answer is yes it does work and yes it is safe to use providing you follow the rules it is legal and has made a big hit on the internet this year. If you would like to take part in this scheme or would like a bit more information then please see the attached file that was kindly donated to us. Thank you for using PayPal!" Turn $6 into $15,000 in only 30 days...here's how! You have most likely seen or heard about this project on TV programs such as 20/20 and Oprah or you may have read about it in the Wall Street Journal. If not, here it is below - revealed to you in step-by-step detail. This program is by no means new. It has been in existence in many forms for at least a decade. In the early days, it required a lot more time and effort, as well as an investment of a few hundred dollars. However, thanks to PayPal and the Internet, the investment is now virtually ZERO! And what's more, the entire process is FASTER, EASIER, and MORE LUCRATIVE than it has EVER been! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it: Make Money with your Paypal account as shown on Oprah! "A little while back, I was browsing through news groups and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send only $1.00 to each of the 6 email addresses stated in this article. You then place your name and address at the bottom of the list at the # 6th position and email it to your friends as well as post this message (with your email address in the list) to at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured "what have I got to lose except $6.00, right?" So I invested the measly $6.00 Well GUESS WHAT!! Within days, I started getting money coming into my Pay Pal account! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00, which means that 25 people joined the group after they saw my posted messages. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and the few minutes it took to join Paypal. I have spent more than that on the lottery! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works. Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it, as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions EXACTLY, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! SUGGESTION: Read this entire message carefully! Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in, it's that easy! It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00. IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk-it really works! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE: Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $20,000 or more can be yours in 4 to 6 weeks. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income, which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success: STEP 1: Take a few minutes to join Paypal: paypal.com Paypal The Internet's most trusted Internet banking system for your future income. When creating your Paypal account make sure you use the same Email address as your user name in the list below so people can send money to your account. STEP 2 Once you have a Paypal account running, use Paypal to post $1 to EACH of the 6 Email Addresses below because you pay people with an email address in Paypal. To do this you may need to use a credit card, which is very easy, and secure so nobody but Paypal may see it. If you don't have a credit card show this great lucrative offer to someone that has one and get them to help you pay the $6. Or go to any check cashing place & purchase a pre-paid credit card, it's cheap & easy to put money on to make purchases with it What you are doing is creating a service. This is absolutely legal! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. But I looked around and did some homework and found it was perfectly legal. Here are the 6 individual Email addresses that you have to send $1 to through Paypal for this to work properly and for you to receive money. (If you don't send the money and decide to post the message with your name in it anyway, Paypal will instantly pick this up and terminate your account, immediately, besides the other penalties!! If you did this you could get into serious trouble because it is fraud. (So follow the instructions and post the $6 and you will make lots of money with no hassles.) Now send $1 to each of these following emails - addresses through your paypal account and pay $1 to each the following 6 email- addresses These email addresses are PayPal IDs or usernames. 1.)moniferious@comcast.net 2.)kaachina@hotmail.com 3.)reliantresources@hotmail.com 4. chinkque@comcast.net 5.)djsm101@yahoo.com 6.)dannybanuchi@gmail.com STEP 3 Now,... after paying $1.00 to each of the email placements above, take the #1 Email Address off the list, move the other Email Addresses up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add Your Email Address as number 6 on the list. STEP 4 Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to the original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups (there are thousands of groups). And email your message to as many people you can. Remember, the more you post and email the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk-it really works! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE REMEMBER this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. You are simply paying into a money making chain of participants and if the chain is broken you are screwing someone else out of their fair share. So, as each person who joins the family and the directions are followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. You then insert your Email Address into the list and it will move up geometrically. So that when your name reaches the #1 position you will have potentially received thousands of dollars into your account!!! What an opportunity for only a total of $6.00!! $1 for each of the first six people listed above To begin with, please send you're joining fee now (which is $1.00 to each email address listed above) then add your own Email Address to the list and you're in business! HOW TO POST TO NEWS GROUPS: Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups(on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Log on any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com, etc., then search with the subject ''millionaire message board'' or ''money making message board'' or ''employment message board'' or ''money making discussions'' or ''money making forum'' or ''business message board'' etc. You will find thousands and thousands of message boards. Click on them one by one and you will find the option 'post a new message'. Then Post this article as a 'new message' by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting copy then paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! It only takes about 60 seconds to complete postings on message boards after you catch on. REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200! That is it You will begin receiving money in your account from around the world within days! JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT. Now the WHY part out of 200 postings: Say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at # 5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, this is an additional $25.00 for me. Now those 24 each make 200 minimum posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each. This brings in an additional $125.00. Those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00. Ok, now here is the FUN part, each of those 625 people post a MINIMUM of 200 letters with my name at #2 and they receive 5 replies each. That just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 react, I will receive an additional $15,625.00!! With an investment of only $6.00!! A - M - A - Z - I - N - G - !! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to Email Addresses using Paypal on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is that thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading these articles everyday. JUST LIKE YOU ARE NOW!! So, can you afford $6.00 to see if it really works?? I think so! People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My great grandfather was James William Clark Smith who was born in Newburg, Franklin County, AL in 1837. He was married to Elizabeth Caroline Knight. He was son of Rev. James Smith and Nancy Mullins. His grandparents were Mathew Simpson Smith and Sarah Wallace. I saw an old DAR paper and it stated that there was also a son named William. Have not been able to verify this. Just thought the name similarity was interesting. In a message dated 1/18/2009 9:16:01 A.M.
