Marriages compiled by Whatley and Coker. Does anyone have this book? I'm trying to determine if I made a mistake copying the marriage dates/years (or maybe the book had an error) for Samuel and Joseph DICKENS. The marriage dates I have don't seem to match the census info above. If the dates in the book and my notes are correct, then the Sam and Joe who married may not be the ones in the census, even though their wives had the right names to match later census info I have on what seems to be the same people in Starlington, Butler Co., Ala. in 1900. Anyway, I would like information on this family because I have reason to believe they are the family of the Mary A. DICKENS who married Marion Taylor BROOKS Sept. 17th, 1874, in Butler Co. Mary A. Dickens BROOKS died before the 1880 census because Taylor Brooks is in the HH of his mother (Rachel BROOKS) that year, widowed, with two daughters. Further BROOKS and DICKENS info can be found on the Butler Co. Ala. message board.

My gggrandfather was John G. Solomon who married Sarah A. (Godbold/Godbolt). John was born 3 January 1797, in South Carolina. Sons Robert and Tobias G. were born in South Carolina before the family moved to Monroe County, Alabama, about 1820. They lived at one time in Old Texas, Alabama. Their children:Robert married Sarah Marshall; Tobias Married Jane Minerva Goodwin and Rebecca J. Feat; Mary Carolina married Samuel Wright; Eliza Ann (my greatgrandmother ) married John W. Wright; John Abraham married Elizabeth Myrick; Sarah married Ruben Jasper Evers; Amanda Mariah married John W. Williamson; Ellen Elizabeth married James Luther Eddins; James Benjamin married Sarah Ann Grimes; Leonard Jordan married Virginia Stifflemire; William Thomas married Elizabeth Alice Mooney and Martha Jo Unknown and Levi D. married Nancy J. Mayo. With the help of many other researchers I have gathered together a good bit of in on this family. Mysteries are: parents of John G. and Sarah A., where they lived before moving to Monroe County, and info on their grandchildren's families. I would like to hear from anyone who researches any of these families. I am always happy to share the data that has been given to me.
