He appear in the 1920 census as residing in Evergreen with his wife. The 1920 census states that he was born in Alabama and his father in Georgia, his wife is name Melia, but my research indicate that her real name was probably Amelia and that she may have been Cherokee or part Cherokee. I know that he had at least 2 son Andy and William. Where he came from in Georgia or when he settle in Conecuh I don't Know . I do know that my grandfather William Sanford appears on the 1930 census as W. M. Sanford living in Emhouse, Navarro County, Texas with wife Mary and 5 sons the oldest Judge Sanford age 36 and my father the youngest Johnnie Sanford age 12 , all born in Texas. My grandfather was a light skin Negro who often past as white so my Great grandfather may have been Mulato. If you have or find any information on my family please post. Thanks

It has a couple of pages about Stagecoaches in Alabama. There are also some other books about early Alabama that mentions stagecoaches--I'll look them up for you and get back to you on those. Have you checked the State Archives pages? One article in particular written by Bernice McMillan, of Stockton, AL goes into detail regarding Stagecoach Stops in Alabama in the 1800's--it's in the Ft Mims book. Hope this helps you in your research.

Matthews is not named but MAY be a Conecuh man. Source: Confederate Veteran magazine, Vol. I, Issue 3, pg. 12, dated March 1893. The article submitted by Mrs. Alice Trueheart Buck of Washington, D.C. is entitled "Confederate Dead at Manassas" Mrs. Buck was part of a group of ladies from the area who raised money to construct a Confederate monument. The State of Virginia donated $1000. Before the monument was constructed, a survey of the battlefield was conducted. Mrs. Buck recorded the names of the Confederate dead from the old wooden gravemarkers. The dead were disinterred and reburied at the site of the monument which was constructed over the common grave holding the remains of those killed in the battle. For the families of Sgt. Gatch and Pvt. Robbins, the final resting spot for their Conecuh ancestors is noted.
